Jon: Please welcome Seth Green!

[Shake hands, sit down]

Seth: As you can see, I'll have lots to talk about when I go on "Inside the Actor's Studio"

Jon: Come on man, that was funny! [Referring to clip from "Rat Race" shown before interview began]

Seth: [Laughs]

Jon: Can I tell you something? I announced last night that you were going to be on the show? And a woman gasped.

Seth: [Looks confused]

Jon: With love and adoration.

Seth: Wow

Jon: And then today when you walked up, you're a bit of a - the heartthrob with the ladies

[A bunch of women in the audience cheer]

Jon: I don't just - I don't just throw that out there for anybody. I mean, uh, we've had some big-time - Fabio was here last week.

Seth: [Laughs]

Jon: These ladies - they're a little gaspy right now. Is that what you get when you're walking down the street? You get a little of the "ooo eee ooo"?

Seth: No, uh, I actually spent all day walking around NY and nobody really said anything.

Jon: Really?

Seth: Yeah

Jon: Nobody - In NY, nobody said anything like, "Get out of my way, ya prick?

Seth: [Laughs] No, no I am like a ninja; I avoid things.

Jon: Do you really?

Seth: Yeah, there's no me getting in anybody's way.

Jon: Did ya have fun today? What - what did you do?

Seth: I had a really great day today, actually. A friend of mine went, um, got some food, went to the park -

Jon: Do you know what you can do in the park is that you buy crack. You ever buy crack?

Seth: No, you know, I missed that completely. I saw that they were restoring the pond, so, you know, I missed the guy selling the crack.

Jon: You know where he is? He's right by the pond.

Seth: Dammit!

Jon: You were looking at the restoration. You gotta look behind the -

Seth: I was trying to buy a map. Yeah, there was no -

Jon: Map is good too. You can always use a map. Uh, uh, this "Rat Race'. you know, we're gonna have another one of your co-stars, Cuba Gooding Jr. here next week, I think.

Seth: Oh he's cool.

Jon: Yeah, I hear he's trouble.

[Audience laughs, Seth laughs, Jon laughs. It should be noted that sometimes The Daily Show tapes interviews in advance. Everyone is laughing because the Cuba Gooding Jr. interview was taped that same day.]

Jon: I heard he dyed his hair.

Seth: [In mock horror] What?

Jon: Yeah.

Seth: No!

Jon: Alright, forget it.

Seth: That'd be foolish.

Jon: That would be foolish. How's this, uh, uh . . . Do you take any time off? You worked all summer on this thing.

Seth: Actually, I actually just have taken a whole bunch of time off.

Jon: How much time?

Seth: Like a month or two. Two months

Jon: Dude, George Bush takes that off every two months.

Seth: [Laughs] Yeah, but he's running the country.

Jon: That's true.

Seth: He's got all the time in the world.

Jon: He's got all the time to do nothing. Do you go on a "vacation" vacation or was it just sort of a sit around, just watch TV?

Seth: No, it was actually really, I had just done a whole bunch of things in a row and I got some time and - my girlfriend and I just sat kinda hung out with our dogs and kind sat around the house and watched some TV.

Jon: You hear the boos now? You say "girlfriend" . . .

[A loud, male "boo" is heard from the audience]

Jon: Wow, you know what? That was . . [Begins laughing]

Seth: What's weird is, that was from a guy

Jon: Yeah, that was - that was way lower for a "boo" to hear about "I got a girlfriend" . . . "Oh yeah, boo"

Seth: My apologies, dude.

[Both laugh]

Jon: Where'd you guys go, you and your girlfriend?

Seth: We sat around the house, I mean -

Jon: Oh, did you really? So she's unemployed?

Seth: No, no, no. She's got - she's got plenty of stuff to do. But you know, the day ends and we're both like, "Hey, you wanna go to dinner or, I don't know, Maui?" and we're like, "Nah, let's just stay here".

Jon: [laughs] You have TIVO?

Seth: No I don't. Everybody's on the TIVO thing, but -

Jon: You gotta get TIVO.

Seth: I don't know, I -

Jon: You know why? If you like "The Simpsons"? You can watch it for 3 days straight.

Seth: [Laughs] Yeah, every time zone.

Jon: And Literally, it just captures it, and even when you come home you'll turn it on and it'll go, "Would you like to watch 'The Simpsons'?" [Begins bowing] Yes TVIO!

Seth: [Laughs] I don't even - my VCR's not even hooked up. We're like, "Alright, if it's on when we're home, we'll watch it" otherwise, you know -

Jon: Can I say something? And I mean no disrespect. You and your girlfriend are the laziest sons of bitches -

Seth: [Laughs] Yeah, we lost the remote, we didn't watch TV for a week.

Jon: [Laughs] Is that true?

Seth: We were like "Where is it? Well, I guess we're not gonna do it." I didn't know you could actually get up and push the button. I sure wasn't movin', so . . .

Jon: [Laughs] Is that when you call the cable company?

Seth: Yes.

Jon: "It won't turn on!"

Seth: "Something's wrong with the - " Thank God we have you know, the portable phone 'cause otherwise . . . nothin' doing.

Jon: [Laughs] You guys are gonna have kids and then literally will just be like beanbag chairs.

Seth: [Laughs]

Jon: Uh, "Rat Race" opens up on Friday? This Friday?

Seth: Yeah. And it's really funny.

Jon: It's very funny

Seth: Yeah, it's very silly

Jon: Uh, Seth Green! It's good to see you again!
