Actor discusses Season 2 of the hit HBO series and "Dumb and Dumber" rumors.

杰夫丹尼尔斯专访，谈《新闻编辑室》第二季强势回归，经典喜剧《阿呆与阿瓜》续集《阿呆与阿瓜2》将于今秋开拍。“我们都已经年过半百了，我们不会假装我们还年轻。我们已经是中年人了，但依然很蠢。”丹尼尔斯表示说。

Daniels joins me now, you know, Jeff, I have to say you have really become an anchorman. You just pulled up Peter Jennings’ move on St. Champion.

Did I?

You did. Pointing out that he was not worrying about, that was his signature move.

Sam was doubtless and yet still brilliant, I found it hard to believe, yeah.

So what are we looking forward to this season?

It’s a really strong season, Aaron Sorkin has really comes with a really strong story line about drone strikes and a whole, as journalists, we make huge mistakes in reporting a certain story and it stretches out throughout the whole season.

Ian will plan for it this time, and you start to see at the end of the last season, the love stories are all picking up.

Yeah, yeah, Mackenzie MacHale played by Emily Mortimer, we absolutely adore and love each other and cannot stand each other at the same time, so it’s, we, just when you think we’re getting back together, it, we end up, usually I say something wrong, and then bang, it blows up.

And I know one or two things you said about Aeron Sorkin, he does flawed characters.

Uh-huh.

Very well, Will McAvoy, a brilliant anchor, but kind of flawed,

He’s got some issues.

And you’ve made a career out of that in some way, if you think of Flap in Terms of Endearment, your character squinting the will, does it ever come back to haunt when you’re out walking the streets?

Yeah, I remember, in Terms of Endearment, you know, I cheat on Debra Winger, which is

That’s not a good thing to do.

Why?

You’re right, let’s just start with why, but yeah, I cheated, I got in a cab once, and the guy said, you know, I just saw you in Terms of Endearment, god, I hated you. And thank you, thank you. That happens a lot, and even with Will McAvoy, it’s like get back with Mackenzie, for God’s sake.

Finally.

Do it.

And I will I was so excited to hear about this year actually gonna start filming a sequel to Dumb and Dumber?

Yes, I’m afraid that’s going to happen, yes, yes, it looks like it’s gonna happen, it’s actually would be, it’s been 20 years, when we shoot it, I hope this fall, and I believe it when I see it, but I think we’re gonna shoot it this fall, it’ll release next summer, that’ll be the 20th anniversary, what is crazy is that I’ve read the script, it’s hysterical, we’re middle aged, we’re not even, we’re middle aged, and we’re still that stupid.

Still dumb.

Yeah,

Well, let’s see your anchor ciaos, how about the tees?

Ah, tees, yeah, has Harry done, the news season in the Newsroom, ... this Sunday night on HBO.
