>> Stephen: YOU KNOW WHERE THAT CHALKBOARD WOULD NOT BE BLURRED? ON MY LIVE ELECTION NIGHT SPECIAL ON SHOWTIME, 11:00 P.M. ON THE EAST COAST, 8:00 P.M. IN THE WEST. ON THIS SHOW "TIME" SPECIAL -- I WILL NOT BE DRAWING PENISES, BUT THERE WILL BE PENISES. ( LAUGHTER ) FOLKS, THERE ARE A LOT OF SIGNS THE ECONOMY IS IMPROVING, BUT THERE ARE STILL A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT THERE STRUGGLING TO FIND WORK. DID YOU KNOW UNEMPLOYMENT IS CURRENTLY 100% AMONG AMERICA'S BILLY BUSHES? ( LAUGHTER ) AND A FRIEND OF THE SHOW IS ABOUT TO LOSE HIS JOB, SO LAST WEEK I HELPED HIM TRANSITION TO HIS SECOND CAREER. JIM? >> STEPHEN: MR. PRESIDENT. GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN, SIR. >> Stephe TEPHEN. >> Stephen: ALWAYS THE BEST. HOW DID YOU GET IN HERE? >> STEPHEN: OH, JUST-- YOU KNOW, I'M ALWAYS-- INTERESTED IN TALKING TO THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD. LOOK, I AM SO THRILLED TO JOIN YOU HERE AT CARNEGIE MELLON UNIVERSITY. AND JUST LIKE ALL THE STUDENTS OUT THERE TAKING PART IN THE WHITE HOUSE FRONTIERS CONFERENCE, YOU TOO WILL SOON BE LOOKING FOR A NEW JOB. ISN'T THAT INTERESTING? >> THAT IS TRUE. >> STEPHEN: AND I AM HONORED THAT YOU ASKED ME HERE TO HELP. >> STEPHEN, I DIDN'T ASK YOU HERE TO HELP. I STILL DON'T KNOW HOW YOU GOT IN HERE. >> STEPHEN: IT'S OKAY TO BE NERVOUS. ALL RIGHT? WHY DON'T YOU HAVE A SEAT? >> I'M ALREADY SITTING. >> STEPHEN: GOOD. SEE IT'S STARTING OFF VERY WELL ALREADY. AND I THINK MAYBE WE SHOULD START WITH A PRACTICE INTERVIEW AND I'VE GOT JUST THE MAN WHO COULD HELP YOU. EXCUSE ME ONE SECOND. >> STEPHEN? >> STEPHEN: YES SIR, JUST A MOMENT. >> HELLO. >> HELLO. >> I'M RANDY. I'M THE OFFICER MANAGER. >> HELLO, RANDY. >> STEPHEN: ALL RIGHT.

LET'S TRY IT OUT. >> STEPHEN: 55. TOUGH TIME TO START OVER FOR A MAN. OKAY. I HAVE A COPY OF YOUR RESUME HERE. WHY DON'T YOU HAND IT TO ME AS IF YOU WERE APPLYING FOR A JOB. GO AHEAD AND DO IT. THAT'S GOOD. YOU'RE A NATURAL. OK. HELLO, MR. O'BALMER. AM I PRONOUNCING THAT CORRECTLY? >> CLOSE ENOUGH. >> STEPHEN: OKAY. LET'S SEE, PAPAPAPAPA I DON'T SEE ANY PROMOTIONS FOR THE LAST EIGHT YEARS. THAT'S NOT ALWAYS GOOD. CAN YOU EXPLAIN THAT? >> HONESTLY, THERE WASN'T A LOT OF ROOM FOR ADVANCEMENT IN MY LAST JOB. THE ONLY ONE WITH A MORE POWERFUL POSITION WAS MY WIFE. >> STEPHEN: OH OKAY. AH, GOOD. UH-HUH. IS IT A TWOFER? CAN WE GET BOTH OF YOU, BY ANY CHANCE? >> DOUBTFUL. >> STEPHEN: OKAY. SO TELL ME WHY YOU'RE LEAVING. YOU SAY YOU'RE NOT BEING TERMINATED, BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU CAN'T STAY. IS THAT TRUE? >> WELL, I'M LEAVING BECAUSE IT'S REQUIRED BY THE 22ND AMENDMENT OF THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION. >> STEPHEN: OKAY. LITTLE TIP. WHEN YOU SAY STAYING IN YOUR JOB WOULD BE UNCONSTITUTIONAL, WHAT EMPLOYERS HEAR IS THAT YOU STOLE OFFICE SUPPLIES. OKAY? SO I'D GLOSS OVER THE REST OF THAT, OK? >> OK. >> STEPHEN: AND DOESN'T SAY HERE. WHERE WERE YOU BORN? ( LAUGHTER ) >> REALLY? >> STEPHEN: IS THIS THE LONGEST FORM OF THIS RESUME AVAILABLE? >> WHY DON'T WE MOVE ON? >> STEPHEN: OKAY, GOOD. DESCRIBE, IF YOU CAN, THE TYPE OF OFFICE YOU WOULD LIKE TO WORK IN? >> WELL, I WAS HOPING FOR A NICE CORNER OFFICE. OR AT LEAST AN OFFICE THAT HAS CORNERS IN IT. >> STEPHEN: CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT SOME OF YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS? AND KEEP IN MIND IT'S IMPORTANT TO DESCRIBE THEM IN SUCH A WAY THAT IT HIGHLIGHTS HOW YOUR EXPERIENCE MIGHT BE RELEVANT TO A POTENTIAL EMPLOYER. >> OKAY, WELL-- I BROKERED INTERNATIONAL DEALS THAT SLOWED THE IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE AND PREVENTED IRAN FROM ACQUIRING A NUCLEAR WEAPON. >> STEPHEN: OKAY, LET'S CHANGE THAT TO "PROFICIENT IN MICROSOFT EXCEL." ANYTHING ELSE? >> WELL, I REOPENED RELATIONS WITH CUBA FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 50 YEARS. >> STEPHEN: I'D CALL THAT ONE "CONVERSATIONAL SPANISH." SI? OKAY. IT SAYS HERE-- LET ME SEE IF I GOT THIS RIGHT.

IN CASE YOU WANT TO BE A LONG HAUL TRUCKER. OKAY. IT ALSO SAYS HERE YOU-- YOU HELPED TENS OF MILLIONS OF AMERICANS WITH THEIR HEALTHCARE. >> YOU BET. >> STEPHEN: OKAY, LET'S TEST THAT OUT.

YOU KNOW WHAT MILLENNIALS ARE. >> I THINK SO. >> STEPHEN: OKAY. HOW DO YOU PLAN TO GET THEIR ATTENTION? >> WELL, I TELL THEM STRAIGHT UP THAT THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION OF THEIR LIFETIMES. THAT THEY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE HISTORY. AND THAT THE RESULTS IN NOVEMBER COULD CHANGE THEIR LIVES FOREVER SO THEY HAVE TO GET OUT THERE AND VOTE. ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> STEPHEN: I'M SORRY. I DIDN'T CATCH ALL OF THAT. DID YOU KNOW THERE'S A SNAPCHAT FILTER THAT GIVES YOU A FLOWER CROWN? >> OF COURSE I KNOW THAT, STEPHEN. >> STEPHEN: OKAY. LET'S BE HONEST WITH OURSELVES, OKAY? WHAT WOULD YOU SAY YOUR BIGGEST WEAKNESS IS? >> WELL, SOMETIMES-- WHEN I TALK-- I TAKE-- TOO MANY PAUSES. >> STEPHEN: OKAY. IN THREE WORDS OR LESS WHAT'S A COMMON CRITICISM YOU HAVE FOR OTHERS IN THE WORKPLACE? >> I CANNOT STAND IT WHEN PEOPLE REDUCE COMPLEX IDEAS TO SOME SIMPLISTIC CATCH PHRASE. >> STEPHEN: WE CAN'T ACCEPT THAT ANSWER. >> YES, WE CAN. >> STEPHEN: OKAY. LET'S SEE. ALMOST DONE. DO YOU HAVE A BUSY SCHEDULE? AM I KEEPING YOU FROM SOMETHING? >> YOU ARE. >> STEPHEN: OKAY.
