And, um, I actually, uh, got vory wrapped up in it.

It's a fantastic idea for show.

And one of my favorite things about this show is how, um, your character, this this judge is a very decent, you know, is very decent person with a very strong moral code who has to make these decisions to save his son.

And so, every step of the way, I understand why you're characters doing what they're doing.

And at the same time, uh, these air decisions which are go against everything that you believe is right.

That's what got me hooked on this show.

To do it in the first place was that premise of If you really thought your child was in danger of being killed, what would you do to protect him or her and you anything?

Everything.

And I talked to any parent.

They said, Yeah, I would become a criminal.

I would end that.

My character is a superior court judge and he does.

He lies to authorities, which is a crime.

He destroys evidence.

He creates alibis.

He manipulates Juries.

He's doing whatever he can to keep his son alive.

And each step, it's going.

So against his principles that it's eroding his soul.

It keeps going deeper and deeper and deeper.

And I also love that it takes place in New Orleans, which to me I would want toe if I was ever involved in some showbiz venture.

And they said, Pick a city where it's gonna happen I might choose New Orleans just for the food alone.

You know that's not gonna happen for you.

Yeah.

I mean, you don't think they're not going to say be involved in an entertainment program of some sort?

I don't think I think you've shot your wad here.

I think I'm doing really well, Brian.

Thank you.

I talked till I'm blue in the face.

And how has it been for you all these years, my friend?

Where you have tow, you have to walk that line between being supportive and being sycophantic.

You don't wanna be an ass kisser, but you you have tow, you have to support him.

But have you ever really just come out and told the truth about a monologue that he did and said that was terrible?

Uh, no, I just I just generally not specifically.

I just generally keep him frightened of me.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Andy early on, um, sort of intimated that he had a very violent temper, and he's also physically one of the strongest people I've ever met.

So the first thing I do every day at work is I come in and I have a pumpkin and I crush it in my hands.

And then we're fine.

Yeah.

Wow.

So I don't mess with Andy also, I will say in Andy's defense, after all these years of working together, he does not lie.

I've never seen him laugh at something genuinely laugh at something that he didn't think is funny.

And you go back and look at thousands and thousands of hours of late night shows.

Plenty of times.

He's not laughing thing.

Yeah, that there have been people who have pointed that out.

Yeah, I'm like after after a segment gone like, man, you weren't much help.

But I'm like, Yeah, it's so funny because if we have someone great and funny, if a Bryan Cranston's on and he's in there, he's yucking it up.

He's coming up with great things when I've had people on that air giving me nothing, And he leans back, crosses his legs and just says, Your it's your plane and it's going down.

Good luck to you and afterwards I'll be like, What the hell?

And he's like, Hey, you know, what do you want me to dio get?

Might get my hands dirty, trying to help you and that's it.

You did ask me to stop wiggling.

Yeah, that came to it.

And yeah, that's I understand that now I do.

You know, I know that you think it's unlikely that I will become a serious actor of great renowned, but I did mean what I said.

I would want to be in New Orleans.

Are you eating the food?

Because I see there was one episode I saw were having this giant shrimp dinner, and and it looks fantastic.

And I'm thinking, Are you eating that food or you one of those actors that pretends I always eat the food that's get on a set even when I'm not supposed t o I.

That's always been a pet peeve of mine to see a scene.

It's Thanksgiving dinner or something, and people are kind of pushing around the food and no one's really eating and everybody's like Ha ha ha!

It was like, I don't believe that, Yeah, I mean, part of part of creating a dramatic interpretation of of a scenario is to be a really is possible.

Eat the food and so you'll see me chowing down.

That was really shrimp.

And we're dipping in the sauce, somewheres hotter than others.

Your eyes are watering.

It was it was great.

It was one of my pet peeves about Jon Cryer, who I love.

I love Jon Cryer, who doesn't love Jon Cryer.

Love that guy on.

I think he's hilarious and a terrific actor.

2.5 men.

Any time that shows on and he's eating, I noticed he's just pushing the food and pushing it around.

And I, Jon Cryer, eat the food.

You eat the food when you're doing a scene, that show is gonna go nowhere.

Prediction.

Now what is your Okay?

So you eat the food.

What about love scenes?

What's your technique?

And let's eat the food and love scenes s.

I've noticed that whenever you have a sex scene and throughout your career, you are always You've got food on the night stand food, and you're taking a lot of breaks to eat.

Food.

Whipped cream, strawberries.

Yeah, I wanna be authentic.

So I have to go to my partner and say we really have to have sex now or we're liars or we are just Charlottenburg on.

How's that go over several lawsuits, which I can't talk about.

I've still got my fingers crossed.

It's gonna work someday.

Uh, you know, I very much I'm a fan of the show, Your Honor, and very happy for you that it is such an excellent show.

Um, I wanted to show a clip from the show and then it turns out, Well, here's the problem, because it it's it's behind its Apparently I'm not allowed to show a clip Way went to get a clip.

They said we can't release a clip to you.

I said, It's me, Conan O'Brien.

They that anyone but Conan answer that that thing.

I hate hearing that.

I actually did try that.

We tried to get a clip.

My producer called me and he said, No, they won't release a clip from Your Honor.

It's this new World.

We live in a paywall.

I suppose something's going on.

I don't know what it is, so if we way have to show some clip So here we go.

Oh, my God.

Those air.

Intense eyes then Michael Vincent.

Yeah, on.

I think this show again was on for seven e think it was something like that?

Yeah, I know.

But you know, it's funny because I talked to you recently.

Andi was so clear to me when I was talking to that.

One of the things you're proudest of is that you have been for many, many years, this journeymen actor.

You have made your living as an actor and I think people just focus on Oh my God, there's this massive hit breaking bad and it's this iconic worldwide phenomenon.

And what they forget is all the years where you were bad guy number two in in in a show that ran in the eighties, that most people are not even thinking about anymore.

And that that is a big part of the trade for people that get into acting that that is it.

That and you're lucky to get that The transition in that show you're talking about I was very fortunate because I was cast is bad guy number three and I was promoted too bad guy number two.

Uh, what is true is that for an actor, you get those hotel clerk, bus boy, drunken frat boy, all those guys.

And when you finally get a name, it's like, Oh, God, I'm Darryl.

I'm Darryl.

You know, you're so excited.

If you get a last name, you've made it.

You have.

You have made it, remember?

Last name I am.

We've made it very clear I am not an actor and never should be an actor.

But early on, when I first got out to L.

A like in 85 86 um, someone saw me somewhere being amusing and they said, Oh, I recommended you to a casting agent for a Jim Henson show, uh, with not puppets, but with, uh, you know, live performers.

And I remember that I didn't do nothing about it.

And they sent me the sides, the script and, um, the script they sent me had two characters in it, and they didn't tell me which character I was supposed to audition for.

When I was confused and I said.

Can you send me the script?

Can you send me anything more?

So they just sent me a sheet that described what each character was and the first one was Dirk.

Every man wants to be him.

Every woman wants to be with him, and I remember going like It's not Dirk.

And then on then the second one was like, You know, Gormley And it was like Gormley.

He's his goofy is he is nerdy.

He's a reading skinny doofus who's never once who's never lost his virginity.

And I was like, It's this guy.

Sure enough, I show up.

How did you know you?

I once got said a script and the part that they wanted me to read within the text of the script was like, say, the guy's name was Jerry.

Jerry Comma 32 complete piece of shit way thought of you eso what part of I'm a big piece of shit made you think about me way can't just give you the role you understand, because there are other pieces of shit in town that I'm pretty damn thinking.

I would see the same pieces of shit in every waiting room in town Every time you show up.

Three other pieces of shit air their shit ball.

Hey, shit for brains.

Hey!
