-Congrats on this. -Thanks.
-I mean, look at this. This is one of my favorite casts
ever to grace the stage. -It's a great group of guys.
-Yeah. "The Boys in the Band."
We've had almost everybody on our show.
-Yeah, exactly. -Yeah, exactly.
-We're hurtling toward the end. It's hard to believe.
We close in two weeks. -Wow.
I mean, crazy great reviews. So, congratulations on that.
-Yeah. Thanks. It's been a lot of fun.
-I mean, just -- we've had Jim Parsons come on...
-Yeah. -...and he came on with a cast?
-He broke his foot the first week of shows.
He was such a pro. -I mean, he's fine.
-He got right back -- yeah, he's fine.
He got right back on his feet. He barely missed --
he missed like one show, basically.
-But, I mean, doing live theater,
stuff like that can go down. -Things happen.
Audiences have interjections, and people -- we have --
It's a very funny play. -Yeah.
-So people tend to -- -People yell stuff?
-People have yelled things in this run of the show.
-Oh, no. You do not do that. If you're watching, don't --
-Not great. -It's not the best --
-It's not a great habit to get into.
-You shouldn't heckle the actors, no.
-We have one -- we have one moment in the play where,
it's, like, very -- it's very funny,
and then it gets very dark.
And there's, like, a very tense moment,
and my character, who's called Harold, breaks the tension
with, like, a one-liner, zinger joke that the audience
kind of usually, uproariously, laughs at.
So the audience laughs, and then the laugh wanes,
and then this one guy in the audience just goes,
"Oh, Harold! Oh, Harold!"
[ Laughter ] But, like, so loud...
-"Oh, Harold." -...at this moment of --
-"You card." -Yeah, totally.
I'm like, "Do you think we cannot hear you?"
Or this other moment when I say something
to Jim's character where -- somebody's --
my line is, "He's never loved anyone."
And someone in the audience goes, "Except himself!"
[ Laughter ] And, like, we're doing the play!
Like, we can hear you. -"Thanks for the help.
Thanks for the help. The play's already written, buddy."
-You got to learn how to roll with things like that.
And I think it's a testament to these
really incredible audiences that we've had
that are just so caught up in the action,
so you can't really complain. -Well, congrats on all of it.
-Thank you. -"The Boys in the Band,"
if you get a chance, it's a hot ticket.
But man, oh, man, congrats on that.
-Thanks. -Go check it out, everybody.
-And then I want to talk about "In Search Of."
-"In Search Of." Yeah.
-It's on History. -That's right.
-Now, "In Search Of," I remember as a kid --
-Me too.
-...Leonard Nimoy hosted it. -Mm-hmm.
Leonard, my dear, departed friend Leonard Nimoy
hosted the original series.
-That's cool that you're doing this.
-Yeah. It was great when they approached me about it.
You know, Leonard and I became, as we've have talked about
many times, very good friends in the last decade of his life.
I was always inspired by his curiosity.
-You came on our show with Leonard.
-Yeah, that's right. The -- yeah.
Totally, during the first movie, and he just --
he was such an incredible guy.
And so, when they approached me about doing this,
I was really interested in it, you know.
And there were some things that I wanted to make sure
we changed. -Yeah.
-Leonard was very, sort of, buttoned up
in a suit and a blazer in the studio
and sort of welcomed you to the show
and throw you to a prerecorded segment
about whatever they were searching for.
And I said, "I got to be on the ground.
I got to be in the field."
You know, so I got to travel all around the world.
-Really? -We did ten episodes.
Each episode is a different search.
Aliens, monsters of the deep, time travel, life after death,
mind control, Lost City of Atlantis.
Throwing it at you! -I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in.
-Yeah. -I think monsters of the deep
is the scariest thing.
-Monsters of the deep was pretty freaky.
We went to Australia.
I learned how to scuba dive for this show.
I'd never scuba dived before.
-Yeah, I don't know if I can do that.
-I went snorkeling in Australia, scuba diving in Greece.
I went skydiving.
-Couldn't scuba dive in Greece either.
-You couldn't?
-No. If I couldn't do it in the first place,
I couldn't do it in the other one.
-Yeah, that's true. That's true, that's true.
One precludes the other. But I went skydiving.
I mean, it was a real -- -Skydiving, too?
-Yeah, yeah, yeah. For sure. -You're doing it up, man.
-For the time travel episode. It was amazing.
-But what was the -- how about the alien one?
-The alien one -- -Did you meet an alien?
-We interview a number of aliens.
Actually, we did meet this woman
who claims to have been abducted by aliens.
Well, we met three people who claimed to be
abducted by aliens. -Wow.
-Yeah. They're out there. -Any proof? Any proof?
-I mean, no hardcore tangible proof.
But, I will say, these three people we interviewed,
none of them knew each other.
None of them had ever met or had any knowledge
of the other one's stories, and yet, there were these, like,
haunting similarities between what they went through.
It was pretty shocking, I have to say.
-What? -I left that episode being like,
"Ooh, there may be aliens." [ Laughter ]
-Wow. -There may be aliens.
-And did they draw out the thing?
-One of the guys draws out the aliens,
which look very much like the aliens...
-The famous alien head?
-...you would expect them to look like, yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. -Is it like -- I've never --
-You don't even have to draw it. I could tell you --
-You know what I'm saying? -Yeah.
-It's that -- -Precisely.
-And it's like -- -Big eyes. Big eyes.
-I forgot how the eyes work.
-They're big. They're just big.
-Like that? -Yeah. Pretty much.
-That's it? -Long fingers.
[ Laughter ]
-I've never been -- I've never been --
Well, actually, I don't know.
-Have you ever encountered a UFO or anything like that?
-No. -Well, the thing that's weird
about the aliens episode is that while we were shooting it,
there were all of these news reports about, like,
government -- like, Air Force pilots who were like...
-Oh, yeah. -"Yep, I've seen them."
-Yeah, I saw that somewhere. -And there was all this, like,
stuff about how there's these government documented --
-They said they saw them in the air.
-Yes. Yeah. And there's, like, videos of them and stuff.
-Yes. -I don't know. It seems --
-I love that you're doing it. I'm into this show.
-Yeah, it's pretty cool. It's cool.
-I love it. I want to show everyone a clip.
-It's a fun time, yep. -Here's Zachary Quinto
in this Friday's episode of "In Search Of" on History.
Take a look.
-We do have some of the most dangerous animals in the world.
-Venomous animals, dangerous.
Have you encountered any or all of that stuff?
-Yeah, I've seen stonefish, which can kill you really quick.
The box jellyfish is the most venomous animal on the planet.
It can kill you in under two minutes flat.
If we're really lucky today, we may see the blue-ringed octopus
that has a head the size of your thumb,
will bite its prey, and inject a neurotoxin
so then it can devour it.
-What if you were to get bitten by one?
'Cause it's so small. Would it still have a --
-It would have an impact. You'd go into cardiac arrest.
-What? -And when it gets really cranky,
it flashes these blue rings, so you know it's cranky.
-You're like... -That's great.
-"Let's get lunch first."
-"Let's get in the water!" That was the next thing.
-Zachary Quinto, everybody.
Check him out on Broadway in "The Boys in the Band"
and his TV series "In Search Of,"
Friday nights at 10pm on History.
