1.033 -> -Welcome back to "Late Night."
2.2 -> We're here with Ike Barinholtz, everybody.
3.367 -> And congratulations.
4.534 -> "History of the World" premiered this week.
5.868 -> It's so funny.
7.1 -> This is based on the classic Mel Brooks film...
8.868 -> -Yep. -...who was a producer on it.
11.267 -> So here you are with... -Look at that.
12.701 -> -...Nick Kroll, Wanda Sykes,
14.267 -> our dear friend, handsome boy, Dave Stassen.
17.234 -> And what was it like to take this on as a project?
19.367 -> -I mean, look at that.
20.701 -> We look like we're in a '50s doo-wop crew, you know?
22.801 -> "It's the Forks!" [ Laughter ]
25.234 -> It was amazing. Mel is a legend.
27.2 -> He's still funnier than any of us at 96.
30.667 -> And he came to the premiere, and he gets up there.
34.033 -> No one knew he was gonna come. They're all surprised.
36.067 -> And he gets up there and he goes, "I just want you to know,
38.868 -> on my drive over here tonight, I listened to the radio.
42.501 -> And as I look at you all right now, you need to know
45.4 -> we're going to have continued showers for the next two days.
48.734 -> And there's a low-pressure front moving in from Canada."
51.367 -> [ Laughter ] Amazing.
54.467 -> -You know, we saw in the clip, you play Ulysses.
58.434 -> -Yes. -Ulysses S. Grant.
59.634 -> -Yeah. One of our hottest presidents.
61.167 -> -And I will say -- [ Laughter ]
63.1 -> You know, I met you almost --
64.3 -> I mean, like, almost 30 years ago now.
65.901 -> -Oh, my God. -And if someone had said,
67.267 -> "He's gonna do one of two things --
68.767 -> he's gonna win 'Celebrity Jeopardy!'
70.4 -> or play Ulysses S. Grant."
72 -> [ Laughter ]
73.968 -> And the fact that you did two in the same, like, month.
76.234 -> -That's crazy. -Yeah.
77.868 -> But you actually -- He's -- You dig him.
79.634 -> -I love him.
80.734 -> He's the reason we don't all say "y'all."
82.868 -> -Yeah. -You know?
83.834 -> I don't want to say "y'all."
85.167 -> I like saying "you all."
86.501 -> "Are you all going to come?" -Yeah.
87.801 -> -I'm not in a hurry.
88.834 -> -Nobody likes hearing you say "y'all."
90.434 -> -No! They get mad when I say it, so I give Grant props to that.
95.567 -> -Now, this is -- this is maybe my favorite.
97.968 -> There's an incredible cast.
99.1 -> -Amazing cast. We got everyone.
100.3 -> We got Dove Cameron, Zazie Beetz, Jay Ellis,
104.167 -> Taika Waititi, Jack Black.
107.1 -> But we had one name --
108.868 -> -I mean, I can't believe you got him.
110.4 -> Now, we're going to show his head shot in a minute,
112.534 -> because this is -- this is a cameo,
114.467 -> and, I mean, I recognized him,
116.868 -> but people might not, 'cause he's an up-and-comer.
119 -> -He's a new ingenue in Los Angeles.
121.567 -> And his name is my dad. -Yeah.
123.868 -> -And -- -So that's Alan Barinholtz.
126.234 -> -Alan Barinholtz.
127.334 -> That's not what he really looks like.
128.467 -> He's wearing a big prosthetic suit there,
129.801 -> which he hated and complained about the entire time.
132.334 -> But he was -- You know him very well.
134.033 -> He was a lawyer his whole life. -Yep.
135.934 -> -And then -- -He was like the --
137.234 -> Like, for real, whole life. Born a lawyer.
139.4 -> Like, he was --
140.901 -> He looks like a man who was -- If I ever saw his baby picture,
143.567 -> I would assume it would be like, "At law."
145.3 -> -Yeah. You know, his first word was "amicus brief."
149.3 -> But he -- he wanted to act, but he was a lawyer his whole life.
153.1 -> And then last year, long story short,
154.701 -> a friend of ours reached out and was like,
156.434 -> "Hey, we're doing a pilot.
158.4 -> And it's a courtroom comedy, and we thought maybe your dad
160.801 -> could put himself on tape to be the judge."
162.534 -> So we put him on tape.
163.868 -> And my brother and I were like, "He's kind of good."
166.4 -> And he booked it.
168.667 -> [ Laughter ]
169.734 -> And it wasn't a pilot, it was a series,
172.267 -> eight episodes for Amazon.
173.968 -> It's called "Jury Duty." -Yeah.
175.667 -> -And apparently, he's amazing in it.
178.133 -> [ Laughter ] Everyone I know --
179.601 -> -So, this is your dad, who lived in Chicago, was never an actor.
183.3 -> -Lawyer. -Now lives in L.A.
184.968 -> -Lives in L.A. -Has a head shot.
187 -> -Head shot. Head shot.
188.934 -> [ Cheers and applause ] Look at that.
190.901 -> That is an actor for hire right there.
195.834 -> It used to be when he would come over,
197.3 -> he'd be like, "Oh, how are the kids?
198.901 -> Did you see the game? It was amazing."
200.801 -> Now it's like, "If you have five minutes to put me on tape,
203.701 -> that would be really great.
204.834 -> I'm auditioning for Gus Van Sant."
207.167 -> I'm like, "Alright."
208.934 -> -I mean, it's a wonderful story,
210.667 -> because you and your brother are both actors, and the fact --
213.133 -> I mean, he must have looked at you long enough and been like,
215.367 -> "You know what? They --
216.734 -> I didn't get it from them, they got it from me.
218.367 -> So if they're actors, I should get out there and do it."
220.1 -> -Well, I just like that, you know,
221.267 -> everyone's mad about nepo babies now.
223.234 -> This is a reverse nepo baby. -Yeah.
225.334 -> -This is a nepo parent, which is a good thing.
226.767 -> -You've got a nepo dad. -I've got a nepo dad.
229.133 -> Which everyone likes a nepo dad.
230.934 -> It's like, "Oh, wow, second career, good for him."
234.033 -> No one's like, "Oh, these nepo dads are taking my work!"
236.601 -> -I mean, again -- And I feel like I've said a lot of things
239.834 -> that imply negativity towards you, but I will just say,
244 -> I'm happy your dad late in life decided to become an actor
247.467 -> than you decide to become a lawyer.
248.934 -> -It's never too late, Seth.
250.167 -> In fact, I would like to announce tonight
252.1 -> that I have opened my own boutique law firm.
255.501 -> If you follow me on Instagram
257.133 -> and send me a DM with your legal problem...
259.167 -> -What sort of things are you focused on most?
261.133 -> What kind of law? -Oh, I love it all.
262.868 -> I love it all. I love probate, family law.
266.267 -> -Oh, that's great. And you passed the bar?
268.701 -> -Bar pending. Bar pending.
271.634 -> But soon -- soon enough.
272.734 -> I'm studying really hard, I swear.
274.367 -> -That's great, and you're going to take the California bar.
276.2 -> -I'm taking the California bar, the New York --
278.467 -> any state that will have me. -Oh, that's lovely.
280.067 -> -If your state has a bar, I'm gonna take it,
282.601 -> which is the catchphrase for my law firm.
284.367 -> -Oh, that's right.
285.267 -> -So if you can give me a call,
286.634 -> I'm here to support you in your time of need.
288.734 -> -You're coming off a little needy when you keep saying,
290.934 -> "If you could give me a call."
292.033 -> -If you guys could give me a call,
293.767 -> I have a deal with a company
295.601 -> that I get paid every time you call.
297.2 -> -AT&T?
299.133 -> -I just signed a new deal with AT&T friends and family,
302.1 -> unlimited plan, not Saturdays.
304.234 -> -That's really exciting. Thank you, buddy.
