KYLE, SO NICE TO SEE YOU.

I MEAN I HAVE NEVER FELT SO JEALOUS OF SOMEONE'S VONDINGS IN

ALL OF THESE DISPLOOMS, THAT IS QUITE THE FIREPLACE YOU HAVE GOT

ROARING THERE.

>> WE NEED TO HURRY UP THIS INTERVIEW BECAUSE IT'S REALLY

HOT TOO.

>> NOW YOU'RE ZOOMING IN FROM YOUR HOME IN TEXAS.

HAVE YOU ADJUSTED TO THIS NEW VIRTUAL WORK LIFE THAT SO MANY

OF US ARE DEALING WITH RIGHT NOW?

>> YOU KNOW, I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE, THERE ARE POSITIVES AND

NEGATIVES WITHIN ALL THIS CRAZINESS.

>> YEAH.

>> THE CLOSENESS OF FAMILY AND NEW RELATIONSHIP IN THE FAMILY,

I DON'T THINK WE HAVE EVER BEEN CLOSER IN THE HOUSE THAN EVER

BEFORE.

BUT THE OTHER PART, AS FAR AS WORK IS CONCERNED, DOING

SOMETHING LIKE THIS, I ENJOY DOING IT LIKE THIS.

I, THIS TAKES AWAY A LOT OF STRESS, TRAVEL, TENSION, THE

WHOLE DEAL.

AND I FEEL COMFORTABLE.

YOU SIT HEAR IN YOUR UNDER-- IN YOUR PANTS AND EVERYTHING IS

GOOD.

>> James: YEAH.

WELL NOW WE KNOW THAT BELOW THAT SCREEN ARE YOU JUST IN YOUR

UNDERPANTS AND I UNDERSTAND WHY.

BECAUSE THAT IS A WARM FIRE.

I GET IT.

NOW KYLE, THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME ON THE SHOW.

AND I SHOULD SAY I'M SUCH A HUGE FAN OF SO MANY PERFORMANCES THAT

YOU HAVE GIVEN IN YOUR CAREER, I REALLY AM, BUT I DIDN'T KNOW

THIS, THAT WHEN YOU BECAME AN ACTOR, A WAFFLE HOUSE PLAYED A

SIGNIFICANT ROLL IN YOUR CHOICE TO ACT.

AND HOW DOES THIS, EXPLAIN TO ME HOW THIS HAPPENS.

WHAT IS SIGNIFICANT.

>> THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA, A GIRLFRIEND AND I WERE WALKING

DOWN THE STREET AROUND 3:00 IN THE MORNING AND A WAFFLE HOUSE

WAS AROUND THE CORNER FROM WHERE WE WERE LAYING OUR STUFF AND TO

GET A CUP OF COFFEE AN I RAN INTO FOUR PEOPLE WHO WERE VERY

STRANGE, VERY BIZARRE PEOPLE, THREE GUYS AND A GIRL.

AND WE BUMMED A CIGARETTE.

WE HAD THE LONGEST CONVERSATION.

AND AS I WAS LEAVING THE ONE NELL FELLOW BECAME A VERY DEAR

FRIEND, HE GOES YOU SHOULD TRY OUT FOR A PLAY DOWN IN THE

CELLAR THEATER.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHY, THEY ENDED UP, THEY WERE WITH THE DRAMA

DEPARTMENT.

I AUDITIONED FOR A KOL DE OF ERRORS.

I WAS ONE-- IN GOT THE ROLE, ENDED UP GOING TO GRAVE YARD AND

DOING ALL THE STUDY, A DIGSED, GOT IT AND IT CHANGED MY LIFE.

ONE, ONCE I MET ALL THOSE PEOPLE, THEY WERE ALL ABSOLUTE

FREAKS, I MEAN NUTS.

AND I KNEW I HAD FOUND MY HOME, I WAS IN.

AND THE OTHER THING WAS WHEN WE DID THAT SHOW IN THE YELLAR

THEATER,-- CELLAR THEATER AND IT ENDED AND WE STOOD THERE AND I

HEARD-- I WAS IN.

THAT WAS WHEN I WENT HOME TO TELL MY MOTHER, HERE IS WHAT I

DECIDED I'M GOING TO TRY TO DO.

AND THAT WAS THE BEGINNING OF IT.

>> James: WELL, GOD BLESS TYREE FOR SEEING THAT TALENT IN

YOU.

OTHERWISE WE NEVER WOULD HAVE HAD SOME OF THE INCREDIBLE SHOWS

AND MOVIES.

FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS IS SUCH A ICONIC SHOW.

AND I DIDN'T KNOW THIS BUT SOME OF YOUR REAL LIFE ACTUALLY MADE

IT ON TO THE SCREEN IN THAT SHOW, IN WHAT WAY DID YOUR REAL

LIFE BLEED INTO THE SCRIPT FOR THAT.

>> IT WAS FUNNY BECAUSE FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS, CONEY AND I RNGZ

AND, SHE IS ONE OF THE GREATEST PEOPLE I KNOW, I LOVE HER

DEARLY.

SHE AND I WOULD HAVE OPPORTUNITIES TO IMPROV DURING

THE SHOW.

AND SO IT WAS JUST NATURAL THAT YOU KNOW, WE-- 25 YEARS I HAD

BEEN MARRIED TO THIS POINT.

DURING THE MARRIAGE YOU GET IN THESE ARGUMENTS.

AND I DON'T WIN MANY OF THEM BUT I CAN BRING THE ARGUMENT TO THE

SHOW, PRESENT THE ARGUMENT, PUT MY FACTS OUT THERE, WIN THE

ARGUMENT, DONE.

AND SO WHEN THE SHOW WOULD AIR AND MY WIFE WOULD SEE THESE

THINGS SHE WOULD BE LIKE-- THEY WOULD CALL ME SOMETHING.

AND IT WAS REALLY FUN.

AS WELL AS THE KIDS.

TRY TO GET ONE OF MY DAUGHTERS ADVICE, AND STOP HALFWAY

THROUGH, LIKE DAD, I HEARD THAT ONE.

EPISODE 7, SEASON 2.

>> James: YOU TALK ABOUT YOUR DAUGHTERS, THEY WERE LIKE, THIS

IS EXCITING.

ONE OF YOUR DAUGHTERS SYDNEY HAS BEEN CAST IN THE NEW OLIVIA

WILDE MOVIE, DON'T WORRY-- HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT HER FOLLOWING

IN YOUR FOOTSTEPS?

DO YOU HAVE ANY WORRY OR ANXIETY ABOUT HER ACTING?

>> WELL, I NEVER PUSHED THE KIDS AT ALL.

IF ANYTHING, I SUGGEST THAT THEY BE DOCTORS AND LAUERS.

-- LAWYERS, I NEVER PUSHED THEM IN THAT AREA, BUT I WAS IN ROME

DOING CATCH 22 AND SHE WAS VISITING.

SHE TOLD ME, SHE GRADUATED WITH A WRITING DEGREE AND IS A VERY

GOOD WRITER, VERY WELL-READ, VERY SHARP KID.

AND SHE SAID POP, I WANT TO TAKE SOME ACTING CLASSES.

I WAS LIKE OH REALLY, SHE GOES BUT IT'S ONLY TO LEARN HOW TO

DEVELOP CHARACTERS FOR MY STORIES.

I THINK IT WILL BENEFIT TO DEVELOP CHARACTERS.

>> I SAID THAT IS A GREAT IDEA.

AND THAT IS WHAT SHE DID.

AND THEN SHE PURSUED IT FURTHER AND FURTHER AND WE SPENT THE

WHOLE LAST TEN MONTHS GOING IN AND OUT OF THE GUEST HOUSE, SHE

HAD ALL THESE AUDITIONS THAT WE PUT ON TAPE.

THERE WAS A COMPLETE DIFFERENT LANGUAGE WE HAD TOGETHER AND

DIFFERENT RELATIONSHIP THAT I FIND BEAUTIFUL.

BUT SHE JUST TOLD ME THE OTHER DAY, I WAS TELLING HER, SHE SAID

OH YEAH, I LIED TO YOU.

I GO WHAT DO YOU MEAN, I WAS ALREADY IN ACTING CLASS WHEN I

ASKED YOU IF IT WAS ALL RIGHT.

>> James: THAT IS GREAT, WHAT AN INCREDIBLE THING TO BE PART

OF.

WE HAVE TO CONGRATULATE YOU ON YOUR BRILLIANT NEW MOVIE, THE

MIDNIGHT SKY.

FOR ANYONE THAT DOESN'T KNOW TELL THEM WHAT IT IS ABOUT AND

WHO YOU PLAY.

>> MIDNIGHT SKY IS ABOUT A SCIENTIST ON EARTH IN THE ARCTIC

ALONE, SOLE SCIENTIST, GEORGE CLOONEY AND HE IS RACING TO TRY

TO STOP A SPACE CRAFT FROM RETURNING TO EARTH AFTER A

MULTIYEAR JOURNEY BECAUSE THERE IS A GLOBAL CATASTROPHE.

THERE ST. >> James: NOW THIS IS YOUR

THIRD TIME WORKING WITH GEORGE CLOONEY.

DO YOU GUYS HAVE A SHORT HAND IN THE WAY THAT YOU COMMUNICATE?

WHAT IS HE LIKE ON THE SET AS A DIRECTOR?

>> IN WILL ALL SERIOUSNESS, YES.

BECAUSE I IS AN ACTOR AS WELL SO YOU ARE ALREADY SKIPPING THE

MIDDLEMAN WHEN IT COMES TO DISCUSSING THINGS.

AND HE ALSO, HE-- IT IS PROBABLY LIKE YOUR SET RIGHT THERE.

YOU WANT TO MAKE IF IT FUN, EVERYBODY KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE

DOING, THEY ARE DOING 110%.

>> James: YEAH.

>> OH, SORRY.

>> James: I THINK IF I AM HONEST, I THINK WE ARE AT ABOUT

68% HERE BUT THAT'S ACTUALLY GOOD FOR A MONDAY.

SO YEAH, I WILL TAKE THAT.

I DONE THINK I HAVE EVER SEEN 110.

>> WATCH YOUR BACK.

>> James: WHAT IS HE LIKE WHEN IS HE GIVING YOU NOTES, YOU SAY

HE IS AN ACTOR, YOU ARE AN ACTOR, THAT MUST BE GREAT TO

HAVE A DIRECTOR WHO KNOWS EXACTLY HOW YOU ARE FEELING.

>> SO HE GIVES THESE, LIKE ONE OF THE GREAT DIRECTORS.

HE COMES UP WITH, HE IS THE KIND OF DIRECT THARY SAYS YES AND IT

MEANS MORE.

ALTHOUGH A LOT OF THE TIMES I GET THE SAME DIRECTION FROM MOST

ACTORS AND DIRECTORS.

THE ONE THING THAT HE SAYS, YOU KNOW, WE COME UP FRRK HIS HEART

WE SAY IT, FROM HIS MIND HE WOULD MEAN T AND HE WOULD SAY

ACT BETTER.

AND I WOULD.

>> James: YOU ABSOLUTELY WOULD.

KYLE WE'VE BEEN DOING A THING CALLED THE "LATE, LATE SHOW" N

TELL WHERE WE ASK OUR GUESTS TO SHARE SOMETHING FROM HOME THAT

WE MAY OTHERWISE NEVER GET TO SEE.

DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH US TONIGHT?

>> I DO, JAMES.

I HAVE SOMETHING I HAVE TO SHARE TONIGHT.

THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN IN MY HOUSE FOR 28 YEARS.

THIS IS SOMETHING THAT MY WIFE AND I WHEN WE FIRST MET, WE WERE

SHARING A BOTTLE OF CHAMPAGNE AND WE HAD GRAPES AND CHEESE AND

CRACKERS AND FOR SOME REASON WE TOOK A GRAPE AND WE ROLLED IT IN

THE WAX OF THE CANDLE, AND WE SAID WE WILL KEEP THIS GRAPE

UNTIL, WELL, UNTIL WE'RE NOT TOGETHER ANY MORE.

SO I STILL HAVE IT.

SO IF YOU WANT A LONG RELATIONSHIP, TAKE A GRAPE AND

ROLL IT IN WAX AND THEN YOU JOIN HANDS IN MATRIMONY, BUT IF YOU

DON'T WANT TO BE TOGETHER WITH SOMEONE FOR 25 YEARS, DO NOT

ROLL A GRAPE IN WAX BEFORE YOU GET.

FOR GOD'S SAKE.

>> James: I HAVE NEVER WATCHED THE CONSPIRACY THEORY VIDEO BUT

I FEEL LIKE THIS IS WHAT THEY FEEL LIKE.

THIS SORT OF LEVEL OF PASSION.

WELL, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR WAX-COVERED GRAPE.

AND CONGRATULATIONS ON SUCH A LONG, HEALTHY MARRIAGE.

REGGIE, DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION FOR OUR GUEST THIS EVENING?

>> Reggie: YES.

TONIGHT'S QUESTION, GOES TO LET'S MAKE IT FOR MR. CHANDLER

SWRZ OKAY.

>> OKAY, SO YOU HAVE PLAYED MANY ROLLS, RIGHT?

>> SO LIKE WHAT IS LIKE A ROLL THAT YOU ARE LIKE WHOA, CAN'T

BELIEVE I PLAYED THAT.

>> I PLAYED A CASHEW ONE TIME, A CASHEW SHELL, HAVE YOU SEEN.

>> Reggie: ACTUALLY I HAVEN'T.

IT'S A FRUIT LIKE THING, RIGHT?

>> James: I MEAN THAT IS THE ANSWER T IS A CASHEW, REG S THAT

CORRECT?

>> Reggie: YOU KNOW, IT'S SO STRANGE BUT THAT ACTUALLY IS

WHAT I HAD WRITTEN DOWN AS THE ANSWER.

>> James: THAT IS INCREDIBLE.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, PLEASE THANK THE ONE, THE ONLY KYLE

CHANDLER.
