[ cheers and applause ] so make sure you stick around for that.

also -- some friends i want to give some emmy shout outs to some friends. will forte nominated for an emmy, fred armisen, kate mckinnon, amy poehler. i know i'm forgetting some people, but an exciting day. some great emmy nominations. now, though, more importantly, shifting over to world news. maybe you haven't been paying attention, but a lot has been happening in greece. ten days ago this happened. >> greeks resoundingly saying no to tax bailout terms and more austerity. >> seth: and then today this happened. >> greek lawmakers worked late into the night passing a new austerity bill to secure the company's third bailout deal and avoid economic collapse. >> seth: so how did greece go from saying no to austerity measures, such as budget cuts, and tax increases. to saying yes to what many are calling even worse measures in a week and a half? let's take a look in a segment we call "up [ bleep ] greek." ♪ [ cheers and applause ] >> seth: okay. so there are two major players

in this current saga. germany, a country known for precision order and adherence to rules. and greece, a country known for yogurt, tax evasion, and big fat weddings. [ light laughter ] these two countries sharing a currency is like martha stewart and guy fieri sharing a kitchen. it was never going to work. [ light laughter ] so how did it happen in the first place? well, in 2001 greece dropped their currency, the drachma, and became the 12th country to join the european single currency after failing to join in 1999 because they didn't pass the economic tests that were required. so what changed between 1999 and 2001? well, greece started filling in their financial documents the way rachel dolezal fills out an online dating profile. [ laughter ] "ethnicity? all of the above!" but even in 2001 people were afraid of letting a country with a weak economy like a weak economy like greece's into the euro. so what was the upside for a country like germany to accept them? well, by being in the euro, greeks had access to easy money. they took loans and used that borrow money to buy high end

goods like cars and electronics. many of which came from germany. while in theory this would be a two-way street, it wasn't because germans weren't buying euros to go buy clams from a guy named stavros. [ laughter ] so money was leaving greece but it wasn't coming back. when the financial crisis hit it affected everyone but especially countries like spain, ireland, and greece. spain suffered through austerity but their economy is big enough that they eventually recovered. and the irish willingly suffered through austerity because if nothing else the irish are okay with suffering because every time they do it they get lyrics for a new drinking song. [ laughter ] but in greece the problem was worse. and they received two separate bailouts that were contingent on financial reform. some of the reform was reasonable. for example, before the first bailout, the retirement age in greece was 60. and for some strenuous jobs it was 55. and true story, hairdresser counted as a strenuous job. [ light laughter ] now obviously this is a hard pill for germany to swallow as they are, i'm assuming, a country that doesn't even have hairdressers. [ laughter ]

"hello, i'd like to make a 5:00 appointment with bulls and scissors. [ laughter ] but on top of the reasonable financial reforms, the greeks also had to submit themselves to severe cuts in public spending and public jobs. this meant greeks had less money, and less money meant less demand, which means the greek economy hasn't been able to recover. so on the back of this long suffering, this past january alexis tsipras was elected the fifth greek prime minister in four years. so basically greece gets a new prime minister as often as we get a new "spiderman." tsipras vowed to fight austerities, take on greece's creditors, but right away things went south. and in no small part thanks to tsipras' finance minister, yanis varoufakis, a combative politician who also moonlights as greece's voldemort. [ laughter ] varoufakis said, "of the other eu finance ministers, they're unanimous in their hatred of me and i welcome their hatred." [ light laughter ] this friendly negotiating tactic led to german finance minister, wolfgang schäuble, apparently

saying to varoufakis about the deal on the table, "this is a horse and either you get on it or it is dead." [ laughter ] which makes me want to ask, "how do horses work in germany?" [ laughter ] because here if you don't get on it, they don't die. they're still horses. they run around on their own. [ light laughter ] is this how you get german kids on ponies at the carnival? "get on him, he will die." things got so contentious with varoufakis that the tsipras replaced him last week with euclid tsakalotos, who immediately won everyone's confidence when it was revealed that in 2010 he wrote a paper on the greek economic crisis in the font comic sans. [ laughter ] so faced against this dream team, greece's creditors didn't budge and insisted on more austerity. so tsipras held a referendum to let the greek people vote whether or not they want to accept the deal. the greeks voted no. but unfortunately just because a country votes not to pay back

their debt, doesn't mean they don't have to pay back their debt. if you take out a bank loan and then tell the bank i voted not to repay you, the bank will likely say [ bleep ] you. [ laughter ] which is what germany basically did, challenging greece to accept even worse terms or leave the euro altogether. and while some greeks would love to go back to the drachma, the euro isn't a mexican prison. you can't just walk out whenever you want to. [ laughter ] you need a plan in place. [ applause ] and the greeks did not have a plan in place. so that's why today the anti-austerity tsipras had to admit a bad deal was better than the alternative. how bad was this deal? not only doesn't it promise any debt relief, but it makes very german suggestions like how to increase sales at greek bakeries such as bakers can use marketing techniques such as clearly stating that the dough is prepared on site. "our economy is in free fall, homelessness is rising, our

health care system is about to collapse, we need your help." "have you told them the dough is prepared on site? [ light laughter ] that helps." look, this cycle has to stop. the greeks deserve plenty of criticism for how they run things, but you lent them the money. have some sympathy for the elderly who can't get medicine and then young people who are suffering from youth unemployment up over 60%. now i understand that most germans are against forgiving greek debt because they think greeks are lazy. but remember after world war ii the allies wrote off the german's debt and need i remind you in world war ii, the germans were way worse than just lazy. [ laughter ] in fact, things would have been so much better if 1938 germany had been lazy. [ light laughter ] so here's the thing, greece owes 400 billion euros. why not make it 200 billion and they don't have to make the first payment for the first 30 years. look at it this way, it's just money. and without the greeks we wouldn't have democracy, zeus, or yanni. ♪

[ laughter ] and so i couldn't zip up my dress. i was wearing a dress the other night that -- like, i've gained weight and i was kind of lying to myself. [ laughter ]

but i was like, "this dress is going on." so i had to just go out in the street and just wait for somebody that looked -- [ laughter ] -- like they weren't, like, a monster. so i'm, like, "hi. i have no one in my life. could you zip my dress?" [ laughter ] and this girl is like, "amy schumer! oh, you really are, like, sad." [ laughter ] and i was like, "yeah, yeah." and that wasn't enough. like, we needed -- she needed someone to hold it because it was very -- so we had to get somebody else. we had to enlist another person. >> seth: a second passerby? >> yeah, and she was like, "oh, i'm gonna see 'trainwreck'!" and she's like, "oh, you are like actually --" and they -- yeah.

because it is so fancy. that's for people, like, helping the world in media and entertainment contributing. so everyone else there was -- like, the ebola fighters. and yeah, just people really making a difference. and then our show. and so they select a clip from each person's show. we didn't know what they were going to use for us. so our whole table, our show, were like, "oh, i wonder what clip." so it's like, people saving ebola, war-torn regions. and then ours was -- it was me taking a huge bite of a burger, going, "i'm going to go make some room," and walking off. [ laughter and applause ] it's, like, malala. like, "we can do it." and i'm like, "i'm going to take a [ bleep ]."

you went classy. you chose the peabody. >> right. the person who was willing to commit. like, they put a ring on it. >> seth: they said, "if you come, you get it." >> exactly. and so we're just sitting there andthe critics' choice awards were going. we weren't even thinking about it. and the girl on stage, it was -- there was, like, a whole market in china, like a black market for organs where they just, like, straight steal your organs. and so our table, we're just like eating tiramisu like, "that sucks." [ laughter ] "god, that sucks." and then there's a girl up there that -- they tried to take her. and then all of a sudden, all our phones light up to say that i'd won the critics' choice award. and so we're all like, "yes!" [ laughter ] she's like, "my liver was --" and we're like, "yeah!" [ laughter ] horrible. >> seth: yeah. and if she was upset about it, it's just because she's pissed off she didn't get a critics' choice award. >> oh, my god. right? >> seth: yeah, straight jealousy.

[ light laughter ] >> seth: okay, great. very good. you were in morocco doing a michael bay film, right? >> i was. i was. >> seth: that must be exciting to work with michael bay. >> it is. it is. it's a little stressful. he's a very high octane dude. >> seth: and it was also a stressful time to work in morocco, yes? >> it is. it was ramadan. >> seth: okay. so, why is ramadan a stressful time to work? >> well, ramadan -- i'm not sure how aware you are, but you are not allowed if you're muslim to eat or smoke cigarettes all day until sundown. >> seth: right. >> and so, you can imagine if michael bay comes into your town to shoot an action movie -- >> seth: yes. >> and you're not allowed food or cigarettes and then you're told you can't cross the street either -- >> seth: right, because they're doin' a big old action movie. >> yeah! mayhem and booze. >> seth: pretty -- pretty stressy. >> yeah. >> seth: i get stress -- like i, when i'm, like, in new york and people are shooting something, i get upset. >> oh, my god, this is like vacation. i'm so happy to be home. >> seth: yeah. if you know you're -- you were somewhere stressful where new york in the summer is like, ah, this is so relaxing. [ laughter ] >> yeah, i walked into time square, i was like, not robot during ramadan on a michael bay film, thank god. [ light laughter ] >> seth: there ya go. you were on one of my favorite

shows of all time "the wire." nick sobotka, a fantastic part. [ cheers and applause ] >> thank you. >> seth: and i think this is a very good story for young actors or actresses out here. you believe you got this job, this part because you flirted with someone during the audition. >> well -- >> seth: true or false? >> that's a very simple way of putting it. >> seth: all right, well -- >> okay, it's true. [ light laughter ] no, robert colesberry, rest in peace. a beautiful man. he was one of the producers of "the wire." and he was integral in putting together the docks, the second season. that was his baby. >> seth: right. >> and he was in the casting session with david simon who's the creator. and he heard right before i came in for my final callback for the hbo taping testing that i had asked the casting assistant for her phone number. >> seth: okay. >> who's also a lovely actress now in her own right, named jennifer lafleur. >> seth: oh, okay, gotcha. >> any how -- hi, jen. >> seth: all right. >> so, you know, i guess he was -- he was very impressed with my -- >> seth: did you just think you were someone who wow, this guy's not nervous at all if he's asking for a number right before he's -- >> that may have been it, yeah

like, just throw it all out there and try and get a date instead of a job. >> seth: there ya go. i like it. [ laughter ] and then you ended up getting the job. >> sort of stupid, but here i am. >> seth: it worked out. and then, you know, obviously no reflection on you, but then you were on "svu." you played a serial rapist. >> no reflection at all. [ laughter ] >> seth: you -- you're pornstache. so it's so nice, i have to say, like, watching "the brink," it was so nice to see you in a comedy. was it fun for you to do that? >> it's very fun and very nice to be in a comedy, it's also nice to play, like, a normal person who doesn't rape or kill which i've been doing a lot of for the last couple years. [ light laughter ] >> seth: it must be -- >> yeah. >> seth: usually you were like page three you're like, there i go again. [ laughter ] >> here i am. here i am. on this one i was like, oh, selling prescription drugs. okay, i can tolerate that. but at least his heart's in the right place. >> seth: yeah, right. that's recovery for you. >> i'm moving in the right direction. >> seth: there is a scene -- i guess it's right in the beginning of the second episode that's getting a lot of talk where you are a pilot and your costar in the cockpit throws up on you. >> yeah. >> seth: and the stunt team -- i'm hearing the stunt team or special effects team, i should say, is very proud of this. >> yeah.

there was an article online that was printed and apparently the effects team said the guy who's the head of effects said it was the highlight of his career. >> seth: wow. [ laughter ] it looked very accurate. >> because he used 15 gallons of puke. >> seth: wow. to spew all over the back of my head in the f-15 cockpit. >> seth: what was the core ingredient of the -- >> you know, i think, like with most of those things i think corn and yogurt play an integral part. [ audience groans ] >> seth: hey, you like both of those things. >> exactly! [ laughter ] >> seth: don't be -- if it wasn't that it was puke you'd be like, great, sign me up. [ laughter ] i saw you -- you've also done theater. you went to carnegie mellon. you were nominated for a tony. >> thank you, yeah. >> i saw you in a play called "a gruesome playground injury." >> yes! >> seth: a wonderful play. you were in it with my friend jennifer carpenter. >> were you there? were you there the night -- >> seth: i wasn't there the night, but i heard about the night. and this to me -- 'cause i always wonder do people have incidents like this in a show. talk us through this. >> okay. so, i mean, i also have a recurring nightmare that i'm the actor who forgets his lines. >> seth: sure. >> i'm on stage and just i'm put in a play where i don't know where i am and i don't know what to say.

and this is as close as i've ever gotten to that. i -- there's a scene where -- you were there. and it's a 12 year old dance, so seventh grade dance. and jennifer carpenter and i are given our best moves. and as my pickup line i tell her that i can make myself puke. and so i begin to make myself puke. and in order to do that, there's this sort of guttural sound i have to make which cuts off the oxygen to my brain. and i guessed one night i just got really, really into it and stopped breathing and passed out on stage. [ light laughter ] before you know it, i woke up and there was lights and i had no idea where i was. i was waking up in front of a live audience. >> seth: wow. >> wait, this is a great segue. should we do that? >> seth: should we just pass out? >> i mean, there's an audience here. we could do that. >> seth: yeah, we could do it. [ applause ] >> okay, no, no, no. just kidding. but, no. it was -- it was crazy. i woke up in front of the audience and had no idea where i was, what i was doing. >> seth: how long did it take you lock back in? >> it was just a couple of seconds. literally probably eight seconds in total from the time i was standing and hit the ground to the time i stood up.

but it could have been three years. >> seth: right. >> and when she saw me on the ground, she thought i was kidding with her because we did a lot of improv and stuff. and she thought i was just messing with her. so she said, are you okay? as much to the character as to the actor. the only thing i could think to say was, i think i just passed out. [ laughter ] >> seth: and that worked for the character too. >> they liked it. so we stood up and started dancing again and all went on just fine. >> seth: well, there you go. that's what a true actor would do. thank you so much for being here. congratulations on "the brink."

[ cheers and applause ] >> hi. >> seth: hi, michelle. >> thank you for standing up. >> seth: michelle, so lovely to

see you. >> hi, seth. let me first say a big congratulations to serena. you now have more plates from winning wimbledon than i have in my kitchen. [ light laughter ] >> seth: you don't have more than six plates? >> i don't have more than zero plates. >> seth: oh, man. you've gotta -- gotta get it together, michelle. >> i'm never gonna get it together! >> seth: all right. i'm fine. but you know what's not fine? every time serena wins, people talk about her body. take this quote from a "new york times" article that describes serena as having large biceps and a mold-breaking muscular frame. stop talking about her frame. she's not a ford f-150. [ light laughter ] then dumb dumbs on the internet say she wins so much because she's built like a man. she's not built like any man i know. [ laughter and applause ] >> seth: talk to them. >> most men i run into disprove survival of the fittest. [ laughter ]

if darwin were alive today, he'd look at men and say, "how'd you dorks make it?" [ light laughter ] >> seth: so, i'm sorry. how do you think people should describe serena? >> they could say she looks like an athlete. like the best athlete. or potentially she looks like someone that never really has trouble opening jars. [ laughter ] i think it's an overall problem of people qualifying how it's possible that a woman can be so great. for them the answer is she's good because she's -- she's like a man. that's the only possible explanation. you know what would be fair? >> seth: everyone's talent being appreciated for what it is. >> no! criticizing the men to even the score. [ laughter ] >> seth: no, no, no. that's very counterproductive. that's very counterproductive. >> no. shut up, man. [ light laughter ] take a look at this clip of novak djokovic from the wimbledon final on sunday. look at what he's eating. >> seth: did he just eat half a date? >> yeah. he took half a bite of a date and then put the other half back in a tupperware container.

[ light laughter ] he was like, i'm too full. [ laughter ] i can't finish it all. i'm sorry. is there a bridesmaids dress you're trying to fit into? that was a djoke. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] they're right. you're wrong. >> seth: all right. >> and how about this little lady roger federer? >> seth: no, come on. [ laughter ] >> i can never decide if he's playing tennis or in a vidal sassoon commercial. [ light laughter ] how does he train for a big match? with 100 strokes of a hair brush? [ laughter ] and look how he hits the ball. he looks like a kid who was, like, "but daddy i want to be a ballet dancer." but his dad was like, "no. you're going to play sports." [ light laughter ]

>> seth: alright. first of all, i don't know why he has an accent and his dad doesn't. [ laughter ] i just don't think this is a healthy way to deal with this. >> well, we can't stop before we get to rafael nadal. >> seth: no, stop. >> he has more head bands than any girl i know. except for one girl.
