David Tennant Is Glad To See A Female Dr. Who

MY NEXT GUEST IN ALL YOUR FAVORITE IMPORTS FROM ACROSS THE
POND: "DOCTOR WHO," "HARRY POTTER," AND "BROADCHURCH"
PLEASE WELCOME DAVID TENNANT.
♪ ♪ ♪ ( APPLAUSE )
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: IT JUST OCCURRED
TO ME-- NICE TO MEET YOU.
THANKS FOR BEING ON THE SHOW.
>> PLEASURE, PLEASURE.
>> Stephen: IT JUST OCCURRED TO ME AS ROBERT PATTINSON WAS
LEAVING, CEDRIC DIGGERY WAS REALLY SET UP TO BE KILLED BY
YOUR CHARACTER, MARPTY CROUCH JR. IN "HARRY POTTER."
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: DO YOU GUYS -- IS THERE ANY BAD BLOOD THERE
BETWEEN THE TWO OF YOU?
>> HE SEEMED FINE JUST THEN.
>> Stephen: HE WAS ALREADY.
HE GOT DEAD BUT HE GOT OVER IT.
SPEAKING OF, YOU KNOW, GREAT BRITISH TRADITIONS, YOU WERE THE
TENTH "DOCTOR WHO."
>> THIS IS TRUE.
>> Stephen: WHICH IS AN AMAZING HONOR, I'M SURE.
( APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: HOW DO YOU FEEL,
OR DO YOU HAVE ANY FEELINGS ABOUT JODIE WHITTAKER OF
BREAKING THE GLASS CEILING BECOMING THE FIRST FEMALE?
WHAT'S YOUR REACTION?
>> I'M DELIGHTED.
SHE'S BEEN ON "BROADCHURCH" FOR THREE SEASONS.
I KNOW HER VERY WELL.
SHE'S A MATE OF MINE.
A COUPLE OF DAYS BEFORE IT'S ANNOUNCED I GET A PHONE CALL
FROM HER AND SHE'S IN A SORT OF TUNNEL OF EXCITEMENT AND PANIC.
BUT IT'S BRILLIANT.
I CAN'T THINK OF SOMEONE BETTER TO JOIN THE GANG AND TO BE
POISED TO TAKE IT TO, YOU KNOW, A WHOLE NEW LEVEL IS GREAT.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ).
>> Stephen: MOST PEOPLE ARE THRILLED ABOUT IT.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: ARE YOU SURPRISED-- ARE YOU SURPRISED
THAT THERE'S BEEN ANY BACKLASH AT ALL?
>> YOU KNOW, WHENEVER THE DOCTOR CHANGES THERE'S A BACKLASH
BECAUSE THAT'S A CHARACTER PEOPLE LOVE.
SO PEOPLE GET VERY AFFECTIONATE ABOUT DOCTORS THEY KNEW GLFS THE
BACKLASH FOR JEW OH, SURE.
THEY WERE LIKE, "WHO'S THE WEASLEY LOOKING GUY?
WHO'S THIS?
I LIKED THE LAST GUY.
THIS IS NOT GOING TO WORK FOR ME.
THIS SHOW IS DEAD TO ME!
I RESIGN FROM THE INTERNET!
SEND."
AND THAT HAPPENS EVERY TIME.
AND IT'S BECAUSE IT'S A SHOW THAT HAS A LOT OF ENTHUSIASTIC
FOLLOWERS.
YOU KNOW, SURE, SURE, JULIE IS FROM A DIFFERENT GENDER THAN
ANYONE WHO HAS DONE BEFORE.
BUT THAT WILL BE IRRELEVANT ALMOST IMMEDIATELY ONCE SHE
TAKES THE PART.
>> Stephen: THE DOCTOR IS AN ALIEN.
>> THE DOCTOR CAN BE WHATEVER HE NEEDS TO BE.
IT'S ABOUT FINDING THE RIGHT PERFORMER AT THE RIGHT TIME AND
THAT'S JULIE WITHOUT A DOUBT.
>> Stephen: DID YOU WATCH "DOCTOR WHO" GROWING UP?
>> IT WAS HUGELY IMPORTANT TO ME.
IT WAS THE SHOW WHERE THE HEROs WASN'T A JOKE.
AND AS SOMEONE SITTING IN PAISLEY WITH A SNOTTY NOSE AND
GLASSES WITH TAPE.
THAT WAS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME.
>> Stephen: BOND IS A JOCK.
>> EXACTLY.
I LOVED BOND, TOO, BUT I COULD BE THE DOCTOR.
TURNS OUT I WAS.
( APPLAUSE ) ( CHEERS ).
>> Stephen: THAT'S NICE.
NOW "BROADCHURCH--" GO AHEAD.
>> BECAUSE IT'S-- AND THE WORLD HAS DEFINITELY MOVED ON.
I WAS DOWN AT COMIC-CON A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, AND IT WAS AMAZING
BECAUSE THERE'S SUCH A BIG THING.
THIS WHOLE GENRE STUFF IS SO MASSIVELY IMPORTANT TO THE WORLD
AND THE ENTERTAINMENT WORLD.
HOLLYWOOD COMES TO SAN DIEGO TO BEG FOR THE ATTENTION OF THESE
PEOPLE.
AND YOU LOOK OUT AND YOU THINK, THE GEEKS HAVE INHERITED THE
EARTH.
THIS IS WHAT.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) THIS IS WHAT I WAS DREAMING OF.
>> Stephen: THAT'S NICE.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: NOW, "BROADCHURCH," THIS IS THE-- THE
THIRD SEASON.
>> YES, IT IS.
>> Stephen: LAST SEASON.
>> IT IS.
>> Stephen: WHY NOT JUST KEEP RIDING THIS PONY?
IT'S A GREAT SHOW, DO 22 SEASONS.
DO SPIN-OFFS, "CSI: BROADCHURCH," "BROADCHURCH
MIAMI."
>> IT'S A PECULIAR BRITISH THING.
WE SEE SOMETHING THAT WORKS AND WE RUN FROM IT.
YOU HEARD OF BREXIT.
>> Stephen: I DID.
I HEARD ABOUT THAT.
>> THAT'S WHAT WE DO.
IF IT'S WORKS AND IT'S SOLAND I HAD MAKES MONEY AND IT'S GOOD
FOR EVERYONE IN IT, ABANDON IT IMMEDIATELY.
>> Stephen: WELL, HERE'S ONE OF THE GREAT, EXCITING PROJECTS
ON YOUR HORIZON.
HAVE YOU STARTED THIS YET?
>> WE'RE ON SEASON TWO.
>> Stephen: SEASON TWO, ARE YOU SCROOGE McDUCK IN THE
REBOOT OF "DUCK TAILS."
>> THANK YOU.
>> Stephen: QUITE AN HONOR.
YET ANOTHER, "DOCTOR WHO," AND SCRIEWJ McDUCK.
>> Stephen: I'M RACKING UP THE ICONS.
>> Stephen: HOW DO YOU PREP TO BE SCROOGE McDUCK.
DO YOU WALK AROUND WITH NO PANTS IN A TOP HAT?
WHAT IS IT?
HOW DO YOU PREP TO PLAY A DUCK?
>> WELL, I ONLY HAD A FORTNIGHT SO I NESTED WITH SOME MALLARDS
FOR A WHILE.
>> Stephen: ALL RIGHT.
>> AND I SAT ON SOME EGGS.
THERE'S NOT A LOT YOU CAN DO.
THERE'S NOT A LOT OF RESEARCH.
THERE'S NOT A LOT OF BILLIONARY DUCK S.
>> Stephen: YOU ALREADY HAVE THE McDUCK ACCENT.
YOU HAVE THE SCOTTISH ACCENT DOWN.
>> THE ACCENT DOES COME FREE FOR ME, YES.
SO I HAD THAT.
>> Stephen: ONE OF THE THINGS WE'VE NOTICED ABOUT SCROOGE
McDUCK IS HE A BILLIONAIRE TYCOON AND HIS NAME IS ON A LOT
OF BRANDS AND HE EMPLOYEEAISE LOT OF FAMILY MEMBERS.
AND THAT SOUNDED FAMILIAR TO US.
>> WELL, IT'S FANTASY.
YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND.
>> Stephen: IT'S TOTAL FANTASY.
EXACTLY.
WE HAVE SOME QUOTES HERE.
SOME OF THE QUOTES ARE BY SCROOGE McDUCK, AND SOME OF
THE QUOTES ARE BY DONALD TRUMP.
AND I WAS HOPING.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND.
>> SURE, SURE.
>> Stephen: IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND, IF YOU WOULD JUST READ
THEM AS SCROOGE McDUCK.
>> SURE, SURE,.
>> Stephen: AND I WILL IDENTIFY WHO IT IS AFTER.
>> YOU'RE GOING TO GUESS, WILL YOU?
>> Stephen: I KNOW BECAUSE I HAVE THE TEACHER'S TEST OVER
HERE.
>> WHERE SHOULD I LOOK.
>> Stephen: THAT LOOKS GOOD RIGHT THERE.
>> Stephen: NUMBER ONE.
>> MY MONEY'S THE BEST FRIEND I EVER HAD.
>> Stephen: THAT IS SCROOGE McDUCK.
OKAY?
NEXT ONE.
>> THE POINT IS, YOU CAN'T BE TOO GREEDY.
>> Stephen: THAT'S DONALD TRUMP.
>> OBVIOUSLY.
( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE )
>> Stephen: OKAY, OKAY, NEXT ONE.
>> YOU'RE FIRED.
AND DON'T COME BACK UNTIL YOU'VE DISCOVERED THE JOY OF THE
ENCHANTMENT, THE SHEER ECSTASY OF MAKING BIG BUCKS.
>> Stephen: THAT IS SCROOGE.
( LAUGHTER ) NEXT.
>> PART OF THE BEAUTY OF ME IS THAT I'M VERY RICH.
>> Stephen: THAT IS DONALD TRUMP.
( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE )
