Milo Ventimiglia Can't Stop Making People Cry

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, YOU KNOW MY FIRST GUEST TONIGHT FROM HIS
ROLES ON "HEROES," "GILMORE GIRLS" AND NOW "THIS IS US."
>> COME LIE DOWN AS IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO A PUSHUP.
RANDALL, CLIMB ON YOUR FATHER'S BACK.
♪ ( CLEARING THROAT )
JACK, YOUR BACK WAS BUILT TO CARRY YOUR SON THROUGH LIFE.
ARE YOU WILLING TO HOLD HIM UP NO MATTER WHAT COMES HIS WAY?
>> YES.
>> Stephen: SHOW HIM.
GOOD.
NOW KEEP GOING.
ARE YOU WILLING TO RAISE THIS YOUNG BOY INTO A STRONG MAN?
>> YES, SIR.
>> Stephen: ARE YOU WILLING TO PUSH HIM TO BE THE BEST MAN IN
THE WORLD HE CAN BE?
>> YES.
>> Stephen: PLEASE WELCOME MILO VENTIMIGLIA!
( BAND PLAYING ) ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
>> YOU WERE A LITTLE MISTY.
>> Stephen: I WAS A LITTLE MISTY!
TRYING TO BREAK MY HEART IN EVERY SCENE OF THIS SHOW?
>> NOT TRYING, BUT I JUST THINK IT KIND OF HAPPENS.
>> Stephen: FATHER'S DAY IS COMING UP.
>> YES, VERY BIG DAY.
>> Stephen: DO YOU HAVE CHILDREN OF YOUR OWN?
>> NO, I DO NOT.
I'M MAKING IT UP.
>> Stephen: YOU LOOK LIKE YOU WOULD BE A GOOD ONE.
>> Stephen: THANK YOU.
I HAVE CHILDREN.
I'M NOT SURE I COULD BE THAT PUSHUP THING.
>> I BET YOU COULD.
>> Stephen: MY KIDS ARE, LIKE, SIX-TWO NOW.
>> MY CO-STAR, WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO HAVE HIM
GET ON MY BACK.
I HAVE A VIDEO OF HIM ON MY BACK, JUSTIN ON HIS BACK AND
STERLING ON JUSTIN ICE BACK TO SHOW WE SUPPORT EACH OTHER.
THEY BEAT ME IN THAT.
>> Stephen: EVEN THAT WILL MAKE ME CRY.
HOW MANY WILL YOU DO FOR THAT SCENE?
>> I THINK 320 PUSHUPS WITH LONNIE ON MY BACK.
THAT'S WHAT THE EDITORS TOLD ME THAT DAY.
>> Stephen: WOW.
( APPLAUSE ) WELL, UM, THE SHOW IS HUGE.
CONGRATULATIONS ON THAT.
>> THANK YOU.
>> Stephen: IT'S ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS ON TV RIGHT NOW.
>> THANK YOU.
>> Stephen: ARE YOU A CRYER YOURSELF?
BECAUSE ONE OF THE THINGS PEOPLE TALK ABOUT THIS SHOW IS YOU
CAN'T GET OUT OF THERE WITHOUT CRYING.
YOUR RATINGS ARE FANTASTIC BUT YOU SHOULD BE MEASURED IN HOW
MANY CCs OF SALINE YOU HAVE AT THE END.
>> YEAH. >> Stephen: ARE YOU A CRYING EMOTIONALLY?
>> AS I'VE GOTTEN OLDER, I'M CLOSING IN ON 40.
>> Stephen: YOU'RE CLOSING IN ON 40?
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: YOU GO TO HELL.
( LAUGHTER ) YOU LOOK GOOD, MAN!
>> YEAH, PETER AND CAROL GAVE ME SOME PRETTY GOOD GENES.
>> Stephen: OH, MOM AND DAD?
YEAH.
NO, I CRY MORE, I'M MORE CONNECTED WITH MY MOTIONS.
I'VE HEARD IT MEASURED IN KLEENEX BOXES BUT I NEVER HEARD
SALINE BAG.
THAT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING WAY DIFFERENT.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: YOU HAVE A NAME
VENVENTIMIGLIA, HAS ANYONE TRIED TALK YOU OUT OF THAT?
>> YES, THEY TRIED TO MAKE IT MILO VENTI.
I WOULD BE A LARGE CUP OF COFFEE AT THIS POINT.
THERE WERE OTHER VARIATIONS AS A CHILD, MILO VENT-VEGETARIAN.
I WAS RUNNING ON A FOOTBALL FIELD -- AARON BROWN, JEFF
SMITH, MILO VENT -- WHATEVER.
>> Stephen: THEY ACTUALLY SAID WHATEVER?
>> I WAS RUNNING ON THE TEAM AND I SAID, WHAT THE --
>> Stephen: WAS THAT YOUR TEAM OR THE OPPOSING TEAM'S
ANNOUNCER?
>> GOOD QUESTION.
>> Stephen: THANK YOU, THAT'S WHAT I DO FOR A LIVING.
>> SEE, PEOPLE GIVE ME LINES AND I READ THEM.
>> Stephen: ONE OF THE THINGS, YOU HAD A DISTINCTION OF VERY
FEW PEOPLE IN TELEVISION HAVE HAD.
ONLY THREE MALE BARE BUTTS HAVE BEEN SHOWN ON BROADCAST
TELEVISION.
JIMMY SCHMIDT'S DENNIS FRAN'S.
>> YOU HAVE TO CLAP FOR THAT ONE, TOO.
>> Stephen: THAT'S COURAGE.
AND YOUR BUTT.
WE ACTUALLY SEE YOUR BUTT BEFORE YOUR FACE.
>> YES, YOU DO.
I WAS ABOUT TO MAKE A BAD JOKE AND SAY, HOW DO YOU FOLLOW THAT,
BUT I GUESS I DID.
>> Stephen: TECHNICALLY, IT FOLLOWS YOU.
>> YEAH, YOU TAKE THAT, BUTT.
>> Stephen: WAS THAT IN THE TABLE READ, WE SEE HIS BUTT?
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: OR DID THEY SAY IN THE TAKE, LET'S LOSE THE PANTS?
SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
>> YEAH, RIGHT?
THE FUNNY THING WAS, I SHOW UP TO WORK THAT DAY AND THERE WERE
THESE NUDE OR FLESH COLORED PATCHES OF CLOTH AND TAPE, AND
I'M KIND OF LOOKING AT THIS LIKE, DAN, WHO WROTE THIS IN THE
SCRIPT, HE WASN'T JOKING AROUND, IT IS GOING TO BE ME COVERING MY
MANHOOD AND THEN -- >> Stephen: IT'S NOT LIKE A
TUBE SOCK, IT'S A FLESH-COLORED --
>> THEY GAVE OPTIONS.
>> Stephen: HERE'S AN OLD TURTLE SHELL --
( LAUGHTER ) >> I KNOW, RIGHT?
HERE'S A BACKPACK.
>> Stephen: A BACKPACK, WOW, I'M IMPRESSED.
HERE'S A 50-GALLON DUFFLE BAG.
>> YEAH, ME AND JOHN.
>> Stephen: WHAT DO THEY DO THERE?
>> BASICALLY, PICK YOUR OPTION.
>> Stephen: ARE YOU COMFORTABLE WITH THE NUDITY?
>> I'M OKAY WITH IT.
IT'S A HARD-WORKING BUTT.
MY TRAINER JASON WALSH MAKES SURE THINGS ARE WORKED OUT.
>> Stephen: DO SQUATS.
DO SQUATS.
>> Stephen: NEVER SKIP LEG DAY.
>> NO, NEVER.
>> Stephen: I DID A NUDE SCENE ONCE --
>> FULL FRONTAL NUDE?
>> Stephen: I WAS 19.
GET OUT!
>> Stephen: WHEN THEY ASKED ME, I SAID, I SHOULD DO THIS
NOW.
I KNEW IT WASN'T GOING TO LAST MUCH LONGER.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: WHAT ABOUT ON SET, WHEN YOU'RE NUDE, WHEN YOU'RE
THERE AND IT'S ALL HANG OUT, DO THEY CLEAR THE SET?
>> YEAH, THEY WILL BE POLITE, CLEAR THE SET, CLOSE THE SET IS
WHAT THEY CALL IT, AND THEN USUALLY, YOU KNOW, I HAD A TOWEL
ON THE DAY WE WERE FILMING, THE TERRIBLE TOWEL.
>> Stephen: THAT'S NICE.
AND THEN I JUST KIND OF KEPT MY BACK THE A WALL IN BETWEEN
TAKES BUT I WAS STILL TRYING TO COMMUNICATE, LIKE, HEY, WHAT'S
UP, CHRIS?
YOU KNOW?
YEAH, YEAH.
GOOD TO SEA YOU, DON.
YEAH, ALL RIGHT.
>> Stephen: GOING OVER TO THE FOOD TABLE?
>> NO, I DIDN'T.
I WAITED.
I WAITED.
I WAS, LIKE, YOU CAN'T MIX AS AND, YOU KNOW, FOOD.
>> Stephen: RED VINES.
NO.
YEAH, YOU COULD.
YOU COULD.
YOU WERE LUCKY ENOUGH AT A PRETTY YOUNG AGE TO GET SOME
WORK ON TELEVISION.
WE FOUND A CLIP WHICH I BELIEVE IS THE FIRST TIME YOU WERE EVER
ON TELEVISION.
WHAT IS THIS FROM?
>> FRESH PRINCE OF BELLAIRE.
>> Stephen: OKAY.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> THAT WAS MY VERY FIRST PAYING
GIG AS AN ACTOR.
>> Stephen: YEP?
WHO WAS YOUR CHARACTER?
>> I WAS PARTY GUEST NUMBER ONE.
I'LL SET THE SCENE.
IT WAS 1995, SO I HAD AWESOME OVERALLS, SHIRT OPENED,
UNBUTTONED, HAIR JUST SO.
>> Stephen: HERE WE GO.
FIRST APPEARANCE.
♪ >> WHAT WERE YOU GUYS DOING IN
THE BATHROOM?
>> RELAX, WE'RE JUST TAKING A LITTLE TOUR.
( LAUGHTER ) >> TOUR.
TAKING A TOUR.
>> Stephen: EXPLORING.
EXPLORING.
BEING YOUNG.
>> Stephen: YOU GUYS WERE TOTALLY HAVING SEX UPSTAIRS.
>> ABSOLUTELY HAVING SEX UPSTAIRS.
>> Stephen: JUST FOR BACKSTORY, WERE YOU TOTALLY NUDE
WHEN YOU GOT UP THERE?
>> AND HAD A TERRIBLE TOWEL.
>> Stephen: LOVELY TO MEET YOU.
MILO VENTIMIGLIA.
( BAND PLAYING ) ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
>> Stephen: "THIS IS US" RETURNS THIS FALL O NBC.
