David Duchovny, Sharon Stone, Jeff Daniels, Simon Pegg, Helen Hunt and other celebrities offered strange advice to Late Show fans in a goofy bit from Thursdays episode titled Dear Famous People. The pre-filmed piece featured a series of presumably fake letters and increasingly unhelpful answers the actors.
The first person wrote that hes been dating a woman for six months but just recently learned she doesnt want children.Ed, having kids is one of the biggest responsibilities you could ever have, Duchovny replied. Its the equivalent of owning, like, three ferrets. Daniels, instead of answering such a heavy question, chose to tackle an answer one:Are sandwiches good?' he asked. Yes, Ed, sandwiches are good. Elsewhere, Wyatt Cenac suggested he bring home random children from the mall, and Henry Winkler recommended he raise a wolf instead.
Later, Pegg offered an elaborate scheme to help one fan convince a neighbor to mow their lawn. Why dont you mow his lawn for him at night when hes asleep so that he starts to believe in what we call grass fairies in the U.K., which are a mythical group of helpful young things that sort of fix your garden for you. He then might start telling people about it; hell get committed and have to leave the house, in which case you can move in and have two properties. So everybody wins.
Duchovny, fittingly, recommended letting a ferret loose in the persons house. Stones advice? Murder the neighbor with an ice pick.
