    I LOVE that Seth playing along with the story and made Emma laugh at the end. Usually this kind of interview(a.k.a. ad for the movie) ends awkwardly by the talk show host with introduction of movie and ALWAYS interview is too short for having a decent conversation nor jokes. So the guest have to brag about the experience with some big time actors or sacrifices their privacy for marketing. Some of those interviews are not bad, but they all the same at the end. It's wonderful that Seth appreciates the talk with the guest(who can talk and joke in this case) even it's not on the track that it supposed to be.

      Years ago we we told to feed them bread and milk and they're both bad for hedgehogs. They can't digest milk and they get the squits and dehydrate. Bread lacks nutrition. Then we went on to nuts and mealworms and they lacked calcium and hogs had bad bones. Now we have listened to scientists and feed them what they need yet there's few left... and not everyone bothers anyway.

    I want a movie with the hedgehog emigration! PETITION TODAY! and I'm willing to wait for her 8 years to make it. I heard the world is ending in 12 so we have time to see it.

    So the hedgehog analogy was probably that it takes a treat and a lot of time to lure in a hedgehog, and that it was the same with Greg and Christmas, that it took 25 years to make him bear it or something.... Luckily, we can probably read about it in the book they wrote, called "Last Christmas".

    What a relief to find that Seth Myers can be funny without referring to the humongous bloated Orange Pumpkin! And Emma Thompson is brilliant, as usual!
