The entire Cicada, Cicada bit is hilarious, but after this interview I genuinely believe they could actually legit do it. NL talks of stage retirement, but Cicada, Cicada would also be a worthy curtain call.
I want it. Cicada, Cicada. I don't care if it's developed as a short movie, or if they perform it for the audience on Seth's show, or even as animation.
You know, the thing is...."Cicada Cicada" would actually really work with the right script. The world needs some absurd, ridiculous musical comedy right now. I'm in.
It's hard to steal the show from Joaquin but Nathan Lane and Amy Ryan came close. The three of them and the young actor who played their daughter had amazing chemistry and kept the laughs rolling for a long, long time (the movie is long). A must-see!
The cast of this movie is so good! I loved Richard Kind as well, half his performance was through a phone but he even gave that so much character. And the iconic Patti LuPone!
Nathan Lane's zest for life and passion for his craft are infectious; every kid should be so lucky as to find a calling or profession that brings them such unbridled joy and such unmitigated happiness 🥰💕
I had the great pleasure of seeing Nathan Lane on Broadway in "It's Only A Play". The whole cast was wonderful. Lane's long-time working relationship with Matthew Broderick was evident when they were alone on stage & started cracking each other up so badly that they had to turn away from each other. The entire audience was laughing hysterically. It was a good 5 minutes before they could get it together enough to continue on. I Absolutely Loved It! TYSVM
@@HH-gv8mx no. There are more frequent bouts of a lack of decorum, with audiences returning to the theatre post-pandemic with a sense of entitlement that hasn’t been seen before. But, it’s still unclear if this troubling behavior is temporary or if the Theatre world must adjust accordingly and find ways to more effectively curve these disruptive people.
@@mctheplaywright too many things have changed for the negative post pandemic. People have turned into feral heathens. Colleges have gotten lazy and decided to take your money and do everything online so you have no FaceTime with any human beings in your class, not the professor, not any students. You can’t even get on a plane anymore without worrying about the people around you, someone might bite you. .and now animals are getting into the theatres and taking shadoobies in the aisles 🤮
If Cicada, Cicada ever became a reality I would do everything within my power to see it live. Even though I've never been to New York and purposefully avoid any major downtown areas, I would make an exception for this!
I’ve been in love with Nathan Lane since I was a kid and watched the Birdcage for the first time and loved him even more when he did the Producers. Truly a one of a kind guy.
I've seen Beau is Afraid once, planning on seeing it again this weekend. Don't sleep on this film folks! It's like stepping into the headspace of a schizophrenic, while being strangely funny.
So What's with the Medusa Sequence,?.. How does that fit in with the Entirety of the Vibe and the Script (and the Consistency) of the film ,?.. (For Starters. .?...)

(And if need be I can and will Gladly rephrase that question again differently if need be.)
@@drumbum3.142 OK that’s the scene I thought you meant (she does go into rigor mortis fast huh?). To premise my general feelings, this entire movie has nightmare logic, and to that end, nothing to me really stood out as not fitting in. Here are some random thoughts on the scene! It fits his character. He’s a virgin, and that fact has been hammered down on us throughout the film (the play sequence, the cruise sequence, everything with him as a child). Him losing his virginity to someone in his mother’s bed on the night of her funeral I feel is a culmination of his journey. He is attempting to cut the connection to being only his mother’s son, and attempting to transition into being an independent adult (SIDE BAR, there were some MAD Oedipus vibes in this film. He indirectly kills his father via his conception. His mother laying in bed with him as a child. Fucking Parker Posey in his mother's bed). But of course here comes one of the major themes of the film: guilt. Whether or not his mother is really there, she’s a symbol of the guilt that he feels constantly (in part due to never living up to her insane expectations). The entire film is him reacting to the things happening around him to his detriment; isn’t it interesting that one of the first real decisions he makes is INSTANTLY cut short by his mothers sudden re-appearance? I didn’t bother thinking of anything in this film in terms of reality VS delusion. We never leave the heightened state of reality the movie takes place in. I took it in more like an expressionist painting. Whether or not Beau is actually guilty, he feels guilty, and that feeling just washes over you throughout the movie. For me, this scene shows that Beau is truly doomed. He can try to escape his mother, he can try to grow, but that nagging guilt will always be there. He’s a broken person, and as we know the guilt WILL take him.
@@drumbum3.142 Beau thought he had a Cardiac problem that will cause him to die after an orgasm, turns out he didn't but the woman he was sleeping with did. There are examples of this happening in real life although extremely rare. The woman freezing was through rigor mortis, the speed although exagerated for comiedic effect.
This has been the interview Jackals have been waiting for! And thank you, Nathan, for saying the title of the Broadway musical correctly! Unlike Christine, who said it incorrectly. ;)
Nathan Lane IS so underrated. IS so talented. Guys ans Dolls, Love valour compassion, The Birdcage, Mousehunt Franky and Johnny, Modern Family, The Good Wife, The Odd Couple, The Producers, Penny dreadfull city of Angels (IS best rôle in TV or movie), Only murders in the Building, The Gilded age, Angels In America (😍✊), or Beau is Afraid.
Love Nathan Lane, but the lighting in the Beau Is Afraid clip is so gorgeous, with the prismatic light flares hitting the screen. Seems so tranquil, which I'm sure will end in chaos/insanity. Seeing it today, can't wait!
Only Murders In The Building is my favorite Series. I'm so disappointed he won't be in this season, but with Nathan's storyline , It's possible for him to be back in Season 4...I'm so hoping for that.
I also wanna say again that it's so nice Seth sticks with the casual look. I personally find suits stuck up to begin with, but why comedy hosts wear them I never understood. Fortunately, many office jobs in Germany with no direct contact to "high end customers" don't have a dress code 😎
This is how all great art is made! It starts off as a bit and then Nathan Lane’s enthusiasm makes you believe it’s possible! Will it be a play within a play? Will Mathew Broderick make a cameo in a nod to the Producers? Will the cockroach apologize to Nathan Lane and say he thought this was Les Mis?
This man should be the 3rd part of the ongoing Steve Martin-Martin Short tour. Just gotta add a Martin to his name: “Nathan Martin Lane.” There. Now he can go on that tour!
Nathan Lane has won Emmys before in 1996 for Outstanding Performer in an Animated Program - Timon & Pumbaa: Season 1 for playing Timon and in 2001 for Outstanding Performer in an Animated Program - Teacher's Pet for playing Spot/Scott.
I still need to know if Seth knows about that cicadas can get a fungal infection that makes them stoned on LSD until their butts fall off. Because nature is amazing.
Nathan Lane shows up to every interview with about 15 jokes ready to go, and I LOVE IT.
The Steve Martin talkshow technique.
He’s one of the all time greats
He’s a raconteur’s raconteur
Him and Martin Short come loaded for bear.
Nathan Lane interviews are never long enough!
Nathan is on fire here.
I need 80 minutes of him and then another 100 for the same low price!!
I was so excited to get an update on Cicada Cicada. I will fly to New York to see it!
With each passing day, Cicada Cicada is becoming more and more real
Baranski: "It needs.....a lot.....of work"
Which is not a 'No'.
If this thing ever gets made, it's going to be GLORIOUSLY weird ❤
So glad they are fulfilling my dream of having Marc & Scott work on this!
I love that I read it as Cicāda Cicâda.
Ps, idk if those are the right symbols.
He's so up to date with his jokes someone give this man his own talk show
Maybe that's why he's retiring from the stage? Have they announced a replacement for James Corden yet…?
Nathan Lane is the perfect talk show guest. He is always prepared and his energy is electric.
Eight years ago Seth Meyers helped me through some hard times… but throw in Nathan Lane and dang… happiest ever!!! Too funny!
I love Nathan, always sending out subtle digs that somehow make you feel like you're in on the joke too
??
The entire Cicada, Cicada bit is hilarious, but after this interview I genuinely believe they could actually legit do it. NL talks of stage retirement, but Cicada, Cicada would also be a worthy curtain call.
Or does it become a play about trying to create the play? Script by Charlie Kaufman?
I want it. Cicada, Cicada.
I don't care if it's developed as a short movie, or if they perform it for the audience on Seth's show, or even as animation.
I’d love to see it done like “Animal Flubs.” I think that would work if the Graphics department behaves themselves. 😉
*Cicada!Cicada!
@@Tao_Tology yes. Cicada! Cicada! Thank you for the correction.
His entrance was very Robin-like. I loved that! They were buddies
I thought the same thing
Robin Williams prevented Oprah from unconsensually outing Nathan as gay at a time when he could’ve lost a lot of work.
@@gab.lab.martins
Robin was a truly lovely person…I had several interactions with him when I worked at a video store.
Please make Cicada, Cicada for real, even if it is only a 1 Act for charity thing! This jackal will love you forever
😀🐾
I adore Nathan Lane! He is like a whole comedy writing staff wrapped up in one person!
"The tracksuit is fashion's way of saying I have no more fucks to give" perfection 😂
I would have thought it was Crocs, but even Nathan at his most relaxed has standards
😂

Wish this was playing near me 😢
Road-trip time 😂
nathan lane is a gem of a person
My first intro to Nathan lane was the birdcage when I was a kid. I LOVED him!! Amazing entertainer
Beau is Afraid was brilliant. Nathan was so funny in it.
I didn't like it. It was extremely "art schooly" and the story telling muddled in its long run time
@@thesmellycatjazz still can’t tell if I liked it or hated it yet I need answers 😭😭😭
Beau is Afraid made my mental illness hurt
@@thesmellycatjazz I loved it. What do you mean by "art schooly"? Lol

I saw him in that play too. He was amazing!! I still remember his hilarious Harvey Fierstein impression.
@@withalittlehelpfrom3 He is a brilliant actor.
"It's a unique and challenging cinematic experience..." I love the way he said this. ❤️
1:40 DOING A PODCAST? 🤣🤣🤣 the chemistry was great in this, love Nathan & Seth
I love love love Nathan Lane!
He is one of my favorites!
So is Seth.
If Cicada, Cicada ever became a reality I would do everything within my power to see it live. Even though I've never been to New York and purposefully avoid any major downtown areas, I would make an exception for this!
Absolutely! I have been boycotting planes since 2013, but for Cicada, Cicada....
I’ve been in love with Nathan Lane since I was a kid and watched the Birdcage for the first time and loved him even more when he did the Producers. Truly a one of a kind guy.
Gotta love the jokes from Corrections ever so slowly creeping towards the rest of the show...
I've never been to New York, but I would go just to see "Cicada, Cicada"!
Cicada, Cicada ❤❤
This was one of the best late night interviews I’ve ever watched.
The greatest living late night guest. Bar none.
Martin short

Pitch "cicada, cicada" as a kid's animated movie. I would watch that over, and over. Oh, oh it's second childhood time. 74 is a rough age.
What do we have to do to get cicada cicada made? Give the people what they want Seth!
You can tell Seth loves having him on the show
Give this man a standup special 😂
It should be called "Nathan Lane DOES Broadway"
I am so touched that they booked Nathan Lane and Katie Porter on one show just for me!! ☺️
His little *kick* in the hug 🥹💚
He’s so wonderful!!! I wish this interview went on for three hours.
This man is a national treasure!
This has been the interview Jackals have been waiting for! And thank you, Nathan, for saying the title of the Broadway musical correctly! Unlike Christine, who said it incorrectly. ;)
Potato, tomato, cicada, cicada
Let's put the show on anyway!
Nathan Lane hasn't aged a day since Birdcage. ❤
I wanna see Cicada Cicada!!!
Nathan Lane IS so underrated. IS so talented.
Guys ans Dolls, Love valour compassion, The Birdcage, Mousehunt Franky and Johnny, Modern Family, The Good Wife, The Odd Couple, The Producers, Penny dreadfull city of Angels (IS best rôle in TV or movie), Only murders in the Building, The Gilded age, Angels In America (😍✊), or Beau is Afraid.
I’m so happy he remembers Cicada Cicada 😂
Love Nathan Lane, but the lighting in the Beau Is Afraid clip is so gorgeous, with the prismatic light flares hitting the screen. Seems so tranquil, which I'm sure will end in chaos/insanity. Seeing it today, can't wait!
I loved Pictures from Home. Wonderful evening at the theater. Every cast member superb.
I'd fly from Sydney Australia to broadway to see Cicada, Ciacada.
Only Murders In The Building is my favorite Series. I'm so disappointed he won't be in this season, but with Nathan's storyline , It's possible for him to be back in Season 4...I'm so hoping for that.
PLEASE make Cicada, Cicada happen 🙏🐾
5:00 - cicada secada must be your swan song. MUST
I’m still honestly on the fence about whether they’re serious about Cicada Cicada
So I guess the opening number I wrote for Cicada Cicada will be wasted now. Maybe I should send a link to it in so Seth can see it...
I also wanna say again that it's so nice Seth sticks with the casual look. I personally find suits stuck up to begin with, but why comedy hosts wear them I never understood. Fortunately, many office jobs in Germany with no direct contact to "high end customers" don't have a dress code 😎
Cicada cicada!!!!!
I would really enjoy hanging out with Nathan, having some beers, and just chumming it up.
Seems very genuine and uberfunny.
CICADA CICADO LETS GOOOO
There needs to be an onstage tribute to Robin Williams in Cicada, Cicada - with Fierstein, Baranski and Lane - there won't be a dry eye in the house!
This is how all great art is made! It starts off as a bit and then Nathan Lane’s enthusiasm makes you believe it’s possible!
Will it be a play within a play? Will Mathew Broderick make a cameo in a nod to the Producers?
Will the cockroach apologize to Nathan Lane and say he thought this was Les Mis?
Nathan Lane is a legend. He was good in Birdcage and Mouse Hunt.
I've always thought Mouse Hunt is pretty underrated. Hard to watch films you can REALLY enjoy with your kids often - that's one of the good ones.
CICADA, CICADA FOREVER
'Cicada!Cicada! : May the town never stop being a-buzz'
Saw Nathan live in Montreal. He’s always fantastic.
Beau is afraid was so good
Norm Core love it 😂
I’m actually convinced Cicada Cicàda might actually happen 😅
Nathan needs his own talk show. C'mon, NBC. wake up!
He could replace James Corden! 😉
Nathan Lane is such a dream❤
So great to hear of progress with Cicada, Cicada!
Nathan Lane is America’s Queen 👑
relishing this. making popcorn so I can watch it on repeat ...
How I adore that man....
I’ll always watch a Lane interview
Beau is an insanely amazing film. What a ride.
This man should be the 3rd part of the ongoing Steve Martin-Martin Short tour.
Just gotta add a Martin to his name: “Nathan Martin Lane.” There. Now he can go on that tour!
GIVE THE PEOPLE CICADA CICADA!
Can we work in a Cicada Cicada roll for Richard Kind? Is that too much to ask? 😂❤🙏🙏
Doorman.
Beau is Afraid is amazing dude
It was awesome seeing him in Beau is afraid he was great as usual
Nathan Lane is a Global Treasure, protect his creative mind and spirit at all cost🐐🐐🐐
What an icon! So great in this film and everything he does. "Mouse Hunt" is a childhood classic of mine!
It's no wonder he so effortlessly starred opposite Steve Martin and MArtin Short. Comedic genius :)
"The 11:00 number is 2" - Thank you, Nathan
Nathan brings it once again,the best.
Comics make the best guests. Nathan is always, always funny.
Nathan Lane has won Emmys before in 1996 for Outstanding Performer in an Animated Program - Timon & Pumbaa: Season 1 for playing Timon and in 2001 for Outstanding Performer in an Animated Program - Teacher's Pet for playing Spot/Scott.
Late night Zaddy for sure, Seth! 😂❤
A world that can contain Spamalot the Musical can 1000% cope with Cicada!Cicada! being a real thing.
He’s awesome.
“The act 1 finale!” 😂😂😂
Nathan is my spirit animal.
He's such a professional.😊
Cicada cicada ❤ never forget ❤
Nathan Lane I LOVE you
That was a fantastic interview.
“Now do you believe it’s real?” 😂😂😂😂
I still need to know if Seth knows about that cicadas can get a fungal infection that makes them stoned on LSD until their butts fall off. Because nature is amazing.
Nathan is fun!
Perfection.
3:00 fucking hilarious LOL I love Nathan Lane
I hope that migrating tree frogs will at least get a cameo in Cicada, Cicada!
Never seen anyone before coming to one of these shows in an outfit like you're about to run in the park😅😅😅
