It was such a hit. >> So, nothing was funnier than when you called me a [ __ ] >> Where are you? >> I'm in Toronto. >> Oh, fantastic. You know, I think I told you I went to Canada a lot in the summers and it was always cold, but is it is it warm there right now? >> Do you know it got insanely hot because

4. 1:45

Very fiery. >> You know what? By the way, [ __ ] off. Okay, >> we're going to talk to Selena today, who

5. 2:18

   I've I don't think I've ever really met. And >> really, she's absolutely lovely. >> I know. And I I want to tell her, you know, this part of the show is like talking well behind somebody's back. >> Who are you talking to about? >> You >> like You're talking >> I'm talking Oh, just me. >> Yeah, you're the person I'm talking to. I think this is just me calling you. You could let me know when we're recording because if we're recording, I'll >> We're recording right now. What? >> Okay.

6. 2:47

   >> And I'm glad I'm talking to you about Selena because I remember when we were together, I said, "Oh, what's it like working with her?" And you were like, "She's great." Like you said, she's just a doll. And I remember thinking, "Oh, it's so good to hear." Because I that's the vibe I got from her and wanted it so much to be true. But I do feel like you can tell a lot about somebody by how they work. >> Yeah. I mean, the thing is about Selena is that she is just an old pro. I had

7. 3:18

   never met her the first day we shot and we had zoomed and it was because of co, you know, it you you just have to zoom all the time. And as I'm driving there, I'm thinking, what is Selena Gomez going to be like? What if she's a nightmare? What if she's mean to people? >> Is >> um kind of rude. Like I knew if she was late, 40 minutes late every day, Steve would say, "Very good." One season, "I don't care how big a success, I'm not doing it." >> Yeah. >> And so right away I met her in the

8. 3:52

   makeup room and she smiled at me and I went, "Ah, we're fine." >> Yeah. >> And she's just been a doll. We've really really uh become very, very close. I just um adore her. I'm so happy that she's getting married to this fabulous guy, Benny Blanco, who's just the one of the great cool guys and funny and loose and she adores him and um I don't know. I'm just thrilled for her happiness and I'm thrilled to get to work with her every day. >> Yeah. Well, you know, I bet I I know

9. 4:26

   that she gets asked a lot what it's like like what she's learned from working with you and Steve, but what have you learned from working with her? Uh, I knew everything. >> Yeah, it looks like nothing. Looks like you you've stopped learning. >> I learned uh uh you can like order an egg with caviar on it and not be ashamed.

10. 4:50

    >> Caviar egg. You never gave yourself permission to do that before. >> I didn't. I didn't. And I don't know what I was waiting for. First of all, I don't like caviar. But secondly, yeah, it was just I'm me. And you know that's the name of my new book. >> I'm me, Cohen. I deserve this. >> The actual working title is I is me. I did a special once called I Martin Short Goes Hollywood. >> A little bit of bad grammar is the funniest thing in the world. >> Nothing funny.

11. 5:20

    >> So funny. Now, do you have to have extra security because you work with Selena? like on set and stuff cuz you guys shoot in New York which is not >> Yeah. Um she has a security person there. You have a security person. But what's amazing is if we shoot on the street >> Yeah. >> which is not often but certainly happens a lot. Um that doesn't make any sense. Not often but happens a lot. Anyway, um you know Steve and I are working and doing a scene. There might be nine nine

12. 5:50

    guys there kind of disinterested for about 40 minutes and then they walk away and you never ever see those pictures. When Selena joins us, there's about 120 paparazzi and they're there all day. >> Oh yeah. >> And I'm sure they're just waiting for her to fall or stumble or >> mean, you know, that would um therefore um they could, you know, make more money from it. So she's just been that's been her life. I don't think um and she does have security on the streets. We

13. 6:26

    all do. But but she is so lovely with him and they've been in her life for so long. The only time I ever saw her get a little stern is when they were a little abrupt to like this 14-year-old fan of hers and she said, "Never do that." >> Yeah. >> You know, no, she there's you can't fault her. >> Yeah. >> You really say, "Okay, I'll tell you what. I'll tell Okay, I'll tell you what's really bad about you can't there's no way to >> and the other thing I do want to talk to

14. 6:51

    her about today is I mean she's she's the founder of a hugely successful business and you know just because we've all grown up with her I think people think she's younger than she is. I mean she's a 33year-old woman running a billion dollar business. We once compared each other's net worth and I told her what my net worth was and she went, "Oh, that's so cute. >> That's just adorable." >> You guys both wrote it on a piece of paper and just slipped it to each other. >> I went like this.

15. 7:26

    >> Wow. And she went like this. >> You know what? It's amazing. I've never seen her. I mean, she has literally like, I don't know, 490 million Instagram followers. I've never seen her overrun by it all, collapsing from the pressure of it all. >> And so, a question for her might be, is it ever overwhelming and too much? >> I also think another thing to ask her about our our um her music. Mhm. >> You know, she's this massively successful singer, songwriter, and um but I don't

16. 8:07

    think I ever asked her in detail enough her real early influences and what was the first song that she fell in love with. >> I love that. On set, are is there singing? >> When Jane Lynch was on, there's always singing. >> Yeah. >> Um uh Steve sometimes will bring his banjo. Uh, you know what I say about the banjo? >> The banjo makes people who play the jug say "Really?" But anyway, um, but no, there's not a lot of singing. >> There's a lot of gossip. It doesn't have to be true.

17. 8:45

    >> Yeah, just make it up. >> You know what I heard? >> Um, okay. I'm going to ask her about her early musical influences. That's a good question, I think. And I'm going to and and I and I do want to talk to her about her successful business because I do think that, you know, not to get too heavy, Marty, but in our patriarchal society, I think we like totally, you know, we don't treat femalun businesses, especially by young women, especially in the beauty space, as a serious business.

18. 9:13

    And it is crushing everything else. tell you something. >> When I look at not only what Selena's done, but what you've done and what Tina's done, I find myself very proud of you ladies. >> Well, that seems weird and patronizing. Proud of us. >> I am proud because >> Oh, you're What are you my dad? No, I just feel like, you know, because you could just be saying you want cream in that coffee, but you're not. >> This doesn't feel good. >> I'm trying to be as kind >> I know

19. 9:50

    >> as a a condescending guy can be.

20. 9:58

    >> I love you so much. Thank you. >> I remember but but I will repeat. Oh, >> it's from the SNL 50th.

21. 10:13

    >> Oh god, I can't wait. My phone is standing by. >> Actually, what? You have my cell? >> Yeah. Do you have It's What? >> Call you. I don't like to talk on the phone. Can you Can you just text it to me? >> No, no, no, no. It's too long. >> Oh my god. >> Kids, what is wrong with the phone? I don't like talking on the phone. A phone call feels >> We're not getting this isn't going to be the length of showa. It was a brief little story. >> I to me a phone convers phone call is

22. 10:45

    bad news. Like why am I on the phone? >> No, no, no, no. But is this and I again Oh my god, I so don't mean this condescendingly negatively, but is your thing about the phone because you really don't like it or because you read Sher doesn't like the phone? Well, you know that I try to not like anything that Sher doesn't like. >> I know. >> You know how I do. Um >> I know. >> I uh I would You know what? Just snap me. Just Snapchat me. >> Okay.
