[ laughter and applause ] >> jimmy: that's what i'm talking about. well, give my best to farrelly brothers. >> i will. i will. >> jimmy: they're geniuses, as well as you are. so, let's talk about the drama side. now "the newsroom," you're doing hbo, this is unbelievable. i love this show. aaron sorkin, every word, like -- i don't know how you would memorize -- >> oh, it's a hundred miles an hour. yeah, yeah. >> jimmy: unbelievably fun to watch and exciting. and i watch it, and i go, "well, they must be learning so much about cable news and just news in general." >> yeah, you learn a lot about

what these guys, who do it for real, are up against. especially like when there's breaking news or something. and they've got to -- they've got to give you information, but they can't speculate. you know, like, whether it's the boston bombings or the san francisco airplane crash recently, these guys, you're on the air, you gotta talk for 25 minutes, you only know two things and twitter is telling you that there are a whole bunch of other things. and you've gotta get confirmation, and you gotta be right, and everybody wants to be first. sometimes you're first and you're not right. that's the big struggle that they all -- they all struggle with that. when i watch the news, that's what i see. these guys trying to do it right. >> jimmy: and what is your character up against this season? >> will mcavoy is -- >> jimmy: love will mcavoy. >> yeah, he's got issues. and he's -- we screw up. we go into this season and we make a huge journalistic mistake. and the season really is about what we did wrong.

and it's a really strong season about drones, and we go on the air reporting something and get it wrong and -- >> jimmy: i can't wait to see it. congratulations on your nominations from last year. >> thank you. >> jimmy: you deserve it. i want everyone to look at a clip, here's jeff daniels in "the newsroom." >> this is how this works -- >> you know the arresting officer? is he a friend of yours? >> he is. >> has he ever been a subject of a 1983 action? if you're not sure, then he hasn't because it's a charge for civil rights violations that never doesn't end with badges and service resolvers being tossed on desks. >> i'm sure it was a by the book arrest. and that -- >> anwar al-awlaki was killed today. it wasn't accident. there was no warrant, no arrest, no arraignment, no judge, no jury, and no appeal. >> how do you spell -- >> not here. a u.s. citizen was targeted. another's on death row for the crime of not being able to afford a good lawyer. and a bunch more have been locked up for wearing halloween masks. so, obviously what i'm doing is

dealing with the easiest one! [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: jeff daniels right there! "the newsroom" airs sundays at 10:00 p.m. on hbo. you gotta watch it, it's good stuff. nick swardson joins us next, there in the bud light platinum suite. hey, nick! [ cheers and applause ] ♪

really long, the call times are really early, you gotta be on set 6:00 a.m. and when you're on camera -- like, this is a lesson i learned -- i'm sure you learned it too -- like, when you're acting, don't go out drinking the night before. >> jimmy: no. >> 'cause you're gonna look hungover on camera, and it'll be on film forever. [ light laughter ] and like, you'll be watching a movie later and you're like, "i look horrible. i remember that night." [ light laughter ] so, i'm shooting in boston, and like, all my friends are like hardcore partiers in boston. like, you know, "what's up, nick?" so they didn't understand that like, i didn't want to drink the night before. so they would always call me every night and be like -- [ with boston accent ] "what's up, swardson? let's go grab some cocktails." i'm like, "no, guys. i gotta get up in the morning. not drinking."

[ laughter ] >> jimmy: are you sure? it is? >> how intense was that clip? >> jimmy: i go, "how do you act on top of memorizing all those things." i couldn't do that at all. >> i, like, watched that, i'm like, "i was in 'benchwarmers.'" [ laughter ] [ scattered applause ] >> jimmy: he's so good, man. he nails it. >> "dumb and dumber to," though -- >> jimmy: oh, i know, "dumb and dumber to," come on, how great is that gonna be? i'm so excited. so, here you are, "grown ups 2," and every time you work with sandler -- he's such a great guy, but he always wants to have a good time. and he's like, "oh, i got a good idea." and then he always makes you do something insane in the movie. >> always. >> jimmy: any time he says that you run from him. >> i run. >> jimmy: "i got a good idea." you're like -- [ talking over each other ] >> "hey, swardson. come here." he always makes his friends -- like if you see his movies, he always makes them look as ugly and psychotic as he possibly can. and then he has all the chicks. like, there's never like -- so, yeah, in this movie, there's a scene where i'm at a costume

[ audience ohs ] add pee to my crotch. so i'm sitting there with steve buscemi, and they're like, dabbing pee -- i'm like, "hey, 'boardwalk empire.'" >> jimmy: i want to take a look at a clip. here's adam sandler and nick swardson in "grown ups 2." check this out. >> how you doing, nick? >> my wife's leaving me. after three weeks. >> three weeks?
