and there's a woman online who has like four million viewers twerking. and advertisers are buying ads on her twitter page. so this woman came on the show, live in the audience. and i try not to hurt nobody's feelings, but she was in, like, late 30s and she wanted -- she thought that she wanted to quit her job and start twerking. >> seth: professionally?

[ laughter ] you've had some good ones. is there any personal favorites over the years, craziest answers? >> i mean -- the first craziest one i heard -- a lot of people saw it on youtube, but the question was -- if someone -- if you break -- if a robber breaks into the house, what's the most unexpected thing he would hate to run into? and you're thinking, you know, an owner with a gun. you're thinking, you know, a dog. >> seth: right. >> this country dude, just, a naked grandma!

why is that your answer? you know, we in here -- your family trying to win $20,000. i don't know how the hell you think you're going to win it with naked grandma? what's the chances of seeing somebody grandmama naked when you break in the house? >> seth: yeah. >> and why is that a concern of yours? [ laughter ] that was good. and then i think the other one that got the most was this -- it was a family on there from chicago. and the question was, name a word or phrase that begins with pork. and the dude, when i went up to him -- he was a dude named lunatic. he was a rapper. and i looked at him, and i said, "so, lunatic, name a word or phrase that begins with pork." he say, "i got this, steve. i got this all day." i said, "what is it?" he said, "all right, cupine."

pork-cupine is not a damn word. pork is not a part of cupine.

[ laughter ] not pork-cupine. please, brother, say anything but that. so that was a disaster. >> seth: do families get mad when someone has a bad answer? >> oh, yeah, man. this year, a lady, her brother or husband came out. and fast money around is 200 points. you win 20,000 bucks. this guy comes out and gets 188 points on his first shot. >> seth: right. >> so, this lady needs 12 points, and they get $20,000. you got five answers to get 12 points.

that's a gimme. this lady got five zeros.

>> seth: that's a "family feud." >> yeah, "family feud." we can't show you that. they had to edit all that out. but i was mad. so they had to cut the cameras off for 30 minutes because i couldn't even come to work. [ laughter ] she said that, and i thought it was horrible that she called her that but -- [ laughter ] your new website, delightful.com -- tell me about that. >> i have a partnership with match because i have this book out that has helped so many women understand men. i created a website called delightful.com. and it's a great new dating site. and it has the second largest launch of a dating site, right behind match. they say the numbers were actually higher than eharmony when it came out. and it's doing pretty good right now. and it's not really -- it's a relationship site. because women don't really want to date. women want to get into a relationship. so my advice to women has always been pro-woman and help them out. but i have advice on the dating site to help men better understand women, how to treat them anyway.

[ cheers and applause ] >> seth: welcome back, everyone. our next guest tonight has garnered critical acclaim for his breakout role as the penguin on the popular new series "gotham." the show's mid-season finale will air next monday night on fox. let's take a look. >> i asked you a question. >> -- obviously.

which is not maroni's forte, is it? no, this is something else. someone artful. someone close to you. >> i know who you're going to name. but your hatred of fish makes me doubt anything you say against her. >> with respect -- i don't understand why you still tolerate her existence. she has proved her disloyalty a hundred times. she wants your head. >> seth: please welcome robin lord taylor! [ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> seth: hi, how are you, man? i'm so excited to meet you. >> so nice to meet you, too. >> seth: we've known the same people. one of the same people we know is my brother. because you went to my alma mater that my brother also went to, northwestern. >> yes, yes. >> seth: you and my brother, we've got some very quiet northwestern people in the house. >> go cats. [ laughter ] >> seth: and you and my brother were in a mime show together. >> yes, we were in a mime show together.

yes, yes, yes. >> seth: and we actually have a photo, which is very exciting for me. there you guys are. [ laughter ] now, where are you? because it's very hard. all mimes look the same. that's you down in the middle. >> no, no. this is me up here. this is back when i used to be blond. i'm also wearing glasses, so there's no punch me in the face. and that is josh right there. >> seth: that's my brother. it was great because this happened after i graduated. and going to school with my brother, i always thought, "i hope he's okay once i leave school." and then, i left school, and he called and said, "great news, i'm in a mime show." and i thought i shouldn't have left. [ laughter ] i shouldn't have left him on his own to make decisions like that. >> yeah, right, yeah. >> seth: was it fun? did you like being in the mime show? >> it was amazing. yeah, it was incredible. i mean, you know, you do a show -- and it's a mime show, so obviously no talking. no noise at all, maybe some music or whatever. but you really hear the audience. and it's a lot of older people. and so it's a lot of, like, coughing that doesn't sound right. [ laughter ] i mean, you're like -- coffee and candy and kleenex, everything. [ laughter ] >> seth: you know exactly by sound how many old people were there. >> yes, definitely. >> seth: that's great. >> totally.

>> seth: and then, you also were roommates with billy eichner from "billy on the street." you guys lived together at northwestern. the great billy eichner. [ applause ] and you were integral in the early episodes of "billy on the street," yes? >> well, yeah. we did a comedy show in new york called "creation nation." we did it all over the city. art nova was one of the theaters we did it at. yeah, and then -- so we developed "the man on the street" segment in "creation nation." and so that's how that came about. and then -- yes. >> seth: you know, we did that film for the emmys with him, which was great. they're so great because they're three minutes long. but what you don't know is you have to walk around with billy yelling at people for 12 hours. >> 12 hours. >> seth: and it's exhausting. also, the ones you keep in are the only ones where people are cool at all. >> right, right, yeah. >> seth: did you have any sort of negative interactions with people? >> well, i used to do the camera work for most of the things. and this was before we had, like, releases. so people would sign -- this is just the internet. we were just literally ambushing people, guerilla style, on the

street of new york city. pretty intense. nice way to meet your neighbors. and yeah, so there was one time where -- we were actually doing a video about the writer's strike, which was some years ago. and billy went up to this woman, and he asked her -- he said, if -- i'm going to redact the name. if this high-powered network executive could give money a bj, would he? and this woman, like, just paused, and then slapped him across the face. [ laughter ] so of course that ends up in the episode, in the segment. yeah. >> seth: then, "creation nation," the sketch show you guys did, you took to the edinburgh fringe festival in scotland. how did the scottish people respond to your show? >> you know, for the most part, pretty well. we're doing like kim kardashian jokes and johnny depp material. so, you know, there was a little bit of a disconnect there. but for the most part people loved it. the only problem was, here's the lesson that we learned -- is never do a live show in front of the bathroom.

because like -- it's comedy show, too, so we were in the middle of the show, and these two elderly scottish ladies get up. and they're sitting in the front row, and they just walk right between billy and i on their way out to the bathroom. so yeah. yeah, that was a moment. yeah. we gave them a standing ovation. >> seth: as you should. >> as you should, yeah. >> seth: congratulations so much on "gotham." it's so wonderful. it's such a fun reimagining of the batman legend. [ cheers and applause ] you know, going into it, i'm so delighted that the penguin is such an integral part of the story. did you know that going in? are you excited about it? >> i was. yeah, i'm thrilled. you know, i just want any job. you know? [ laughter ] up until this point, anything is what i was looking for. you just want health insurance. that's what you want to get. >> seth: your last job, scottish women went to the bathroom in the middle of your show. >> middle of the show, yeah. it's a little different now. yeah, but on -- yeah, it's --

so, you know -- and i auditioned. and i didn't know what the project was when i initially auditioned. they wrote a fake scene with fake names. and then, the night before, my agent gave me the tip-off. she goes, "by the way, this is the origin story of batman, and you're auditioning for the penguin." it's like -- all right, whatever. but so i went in, still did my thing. it all worked out. it was great. like i met the creators, bruno heller and danny cannon. they both came up to me, and they we're like, "oh, and also this first season is going to be mostly about you." i'm like -- again, what the -- [ laughter ] >> seth: you play -- no offense. you play sort of a psychopath. >> yeah, thanks, man. >> seth: and we live in an era where you can get feedback instantly via twitter. how has the response to playing a psychopath -- how have you communicated with fans on twitter? >> i'm worried about people out there. [ laughter ] a lot of it has been like -- just like -- well, a lot of it has been like, why do i love a psychopath? like why am i like so into this guy?

and one of them was like -- and also, in every episode, some -- i get slammed on the table, or stabbed in the hand, or slapped across the face. endless, you know, abuse. and the response is -- people write in, and they're like, "don't hurt my penguin!" [ laughter ] you know, like, "don't hurt this complete psychopath!" and i was like, okay. >> seth: well, you're loveable. even as a psychopath. everybody roots for the penguin. everybody's rooting for penguin this year. sorry, batman, penguin's the new thing. [ applause ] congratulations. >> thank you so much. >> seth: so great to meet you. give it up for robin lord taylor!
