  • Please welcome back to the show John Cryer, everybody.
  • Welcome back.
  • Thank you.
  • Thank you.
  • Glad to be back.
  • This is a very novel approach to a sitcom because it's about a divorced couple that is still amicable.
  • And historically in sitcoms, not only do divorced couples not get along, most married couples don't even like each other.
  • Exactly.
  • Exactly.
  • That's what we thought was novel about it.
  • But it's fun.
  • It's actually inspired by the true story that the owner of the Boston Celtics, he and his wife share an apartment with her ex husband.
  • Oh, wow.
  • Yeah.
  • Real thing.
  • Real thing that happened.
  • They did it on purpose.
  • But it's great, actually, because they are very good friends.
  • They did that so that the kids didn't have to move back and forth, which I thought was very novel.
  • Obviously, it's not for everybody.
  • Not everybody can do that.
  • But what the show is about is people trying to maintain that bit of friendship that they had that brought them together in the first place.
  • And your own parents, they got divorced and also had a very nice relationship.
  • Yes, thank you for, yeah.
  • You're very welcome.
  • You know what?
  • Thank them.
  • I will.
  • I will.
  • Now that you mention it.
  • No, actually, yeah, they were divorced when I was four, and my dad remarried.
  • My mom and my stepmother are great friends and hang out.
  • My half brothers and sisters lived in my mom's house when they moved to New York.
  • I mean, it's crazy hippie.
  • Um, uh, sorry.
  • But, um, uh, but, you know, but it can work.
  • It can be great.
  • And that's the show we wanted to make.
  • You mentioned the hippie part of it.
  • Both your parents were stage actors.
  • Yes.
  • So was that always the plan for you?
  • It was always kind of in the background, because I loved being backstage.
  • Backstage is just this crazy, you know, if you ever get a chance to do theater, do it.
  • Because, well, no, because you get backstage, and there's these wonderful people and these big personalities, and they're ridiculous.
  • And I just loved that.
  • But I also sort of wanted to be an astronaut.
  • But it was really interesting because after Two and a Half Men ended, I got this request to host an episode of a documentary series where I would investigate the Russian space program.
  • And I said, oh, well, that sounds fun.
  • Will you fly me to Moscow and let me train to be an astronaut?
  • And they said, sure.
  • So I flew to Moscow and trained to be an astronaut.
  • How long?
  • For just for a couple of weeks.
  • Okay, that's enough.
  • That's all that's that's really all you need.
  • But what I learned was, I would not be a very good astronaut.
  • Oh, interesting.
  • Yes, because they don't what they don't tell you is, you know, you see the movies.
  • Yeah.
  • And it's just brave people doing brave things.
  • And they look all cool.
  • And everything seems super competent.
  • But once you start
  • realizing that there's certain things that you have to have a level of comfort with that you might not.
  • Okay, what sort of things are we talking about?
  • Like, in the Russian spacecraft that they send you to the ISS in, and they still do this, they still use the same old ones that they used back in the sixties.
  • Wow, swear to God, they still do.
  • And they're about this big.
  • And they jam three people into that, and nobody gets a window or anything.
  • One guy does get, or gal, gets a thing called a visor where they, it's a thing that they look at through to make sure that the spacecraft is on the right attitude.
  • But what they don't tell you is the visor goes up between your legs, and you are jammed like this, wearing a space suit,
  • with two other people right next to you in something this big.
  • And then they put you on top of a rocket and shoot you out of the Earth's orbit.
  • That's, the movies don't have it like that.
  • Yeah.
  • Star Trek is not like that.
  • So I realized pretty quickly, and I did the centrifuge.
  • I did all that where it pushes back your face and all that stuff.
  • And I felt so badass.
  • I also did a thing, they have a,
  • Their spacesuits, you know, when you go outside of the spacecraft, theirs are different than the Americans.
  • They have a door on the back of their spacesuits that is like a, it's hinged.
  • And it's like, you just step in through the, the backpack opens and there's a spacesuit and you put your legs through and then they just go, ka slam, and slam you inside this thing.
  • And what they, another thing they don't tell you, when you're wearing a spacesuit in the movies, it looks all cool.
  • You look like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.
  • Right?
  • How hard could that be?
  • What they don't tell you is they have to, it's a pressure suit.
  • So they have to pump it full of air.
  • And so you're, so you're inflated basically.
  • You're like those, you know, those guys that wave at the... Yeah, yeah, yeah.
  • Car wash.
  • Yeah, the car wash blow up guy.
  • Except yes, you get less freedom of movement though.
  • So you're just, and then just doing anything at all is this incredible effort.
  • And I was like, you know what?
  • Being an astronaut requires effort.
  • No thank you.
  • Yeah.
  • It feels like if I watch this documentary, the takeaway would be being an astronaut sucks.
  • That seems to be... That's the title of it, actually.
  • That's what we ended up with.
  • But it was interesting, something that I had so many dreams about as a kid.
  • To go, oh, you know what?
  • No.
  • No, thanks.
  • Well, another dream for a lot of kids, maybe.
  • In Supergirl, you got to be Lex Luthor.
  • He's a badass.
  • He's a total badass.
  • So in the same way that you were saying astronauts are badass, and then you actually do it, and you find out it's not badass at all.
  • Did you have the same moment when you got to play Lex Luthor?
  • Um... Thank you.
  • Thank you.
  • I'm all about being scary, I think.
  • Yeah, yeah, yeah.
  • That's a real scary.
  • That's my scariest Lex Luthor.
  • Yes.
  • Hey, Supergirl!
  • That wasn't exactly.
  • Over here, Supergirl!
  • That wasn't my reading, just so you know.
  • No, actually, we were about to do a stunt, which is very manly and badass.
  • I was hanging from a helicopter in green screen, so you're about a foot and a half off the ground.
  • But it looked great in the end, Seth.
  • You were in Superman IV.
  • Yes.
  • You, uh, you were Lenny, was your character?
  • I was Lenny Luthor.
  • I was, I played my own nephew.
  • It's like Inception.
  • So you, you must've been a very young actor at the time.
  • Oh yeah.
  • Yeah.
  • I was, I was twenty one.
  • Okay.
  • So you're in Superman four.
  • And, uh, did you learn anything as a young actor doing a giant superhero movie?
  • Oh, well,
  • There's a lot of flying in Superman IV.
  • It's one of the main parts.
  • Exactly.
  • And I was so excited about that.
  • You see the movies, you know, like in the first movie, Superman, it was beautiful flying.
  • It was balletic.
  • Yeah.
  • And I get there on the first day, and the stunt coordinator is the guy who's the legend in the area of flying stuff.
  • He's amazing.
  • British guy.
  • And he says, OK, one thing you have to be aware of, I'm not doing a good British accent at all,
  • is that when they put the harness on you, and this is the year, I think, when they put the harness on you, they have to cinch it incredibly tight, so it will catch any hair that you have on there.
  • So he said, you may want to take care of any hair that you have either on the back or on the front, either way, so that it doesn't catch in the harness.
  • And I thought, oh, OK.
  • Got rid of everything.
  • Nair came into play.
  • I don't... Nair is a very specific eighties reference for you guys.
  • And did the thing, and smooth as glass.
  • I did, you know, I was very excited.
  • I mean, both the shot and my...
  • Regions.
  • Regions.
  • But what I did not realize was that the painful stuff is, you know, is delayed, because what I learned is when your butt hair grows back, it hurts.
  • Oh!
  • Yes, this is just... I don't know if any... I hope America does not have to experience this.
  • Yeah.
  • But when your butt hair grows back, it is no fun for anyone.
  • And actually, Melissa Benoist, who was Supergirl, the first day of work, I said, hey, I know we're going to be doing some flying stuff.
  • Do we still have to do that?
  • And she was like, no.
  • This guy was clearly pulling a prank, apparently.
  • So... It's a pretty good prank.
  • It's a pretty good prank.
  • Pretty good prank.
  • Pretty good.
  • Pretty good prank.
  • Yep.
  • He got me good.
  • There you go.
  • Well, thank you for being with us and sharing.
  • I mean, I think that if there was a PSA, it's like, don't be an astronaut and never shave your butt hair.
  • Yes.
  • Thank you.
  • Thank you so much.
  • Thank you, Seth.
  • Jon Krier, everybody.
  • Extended Family is Tuesday night.
  • We'll be right back with more Late Night.
