Gillian Anderson with Jon Stewart May 18, 1995

JS: All right. There is one TV show that everybody's talking about. It's freeky, It's cool, It's The X-Files. Do you see my next guest it's Special Agent Dana Scully on that show in spooky scenes such as this one.

[Clip from The Calusari]

JS: It ain't Full House. Please welcome Gillian Anderson.

[applause]

JS: Very nice. Nice to see you.

GA: Nice to be here.

JS: That's spooky.

GA: Why did you show that clip?

JS: 'Cause it's from your show?

GA: [laughing] You could have shown a part where we were kissing or something, you know.

JS: You... and David Duchovny kissing?

GA: Yeah. No, Mulder and Scully kissing.

JS: Oh sorry. Scully and Mulder kissing that's what I mean, not David Duchovny, Mulder. So are you guys gonna... you know... 'cause it's a lot of questions on the Internet about that, if you guys are gonna get together... you know.

GA: Yes, I know. I thought I had answer that question why... It seems that it's been taken care of it for as little bit with this... You're like a kind of a councellor of porno films, right?

[laughter]

JS: Well, well, well. Looks like somebody's been reading my diary. All right. I've seen a couple and I've also rented some musicals as well... Ahh... Yeah. You have your own a... ?

GA: I don't have my own but apparently there's a "Sex Files".

JS: It's called "The Sex Files"?

GA: Yes it is. I don't have a copy, apparently Mr. Duchovny does, but ahh...

JS: Yeah. It's good. The parts are OK. It's a guy, pizza delivery guy, alien. And ah, you guys end up doing it while them, and ah, it's pretty... you know... cool.

GA: Wow.

JS: I won't tell you how it ends.

[laughter]

GA: Is it a big... is it a big finish...?

JS: All right, they all have sex!

GA: They do? Wow.

JS: Yes, they enjoy. That's the measure of success, isn't it?

GA: It is.

JS: To get your own porn. But you guys have everything, magazine covers... any ideas the thing is gonna be the huge monster that it is.

GA: I still doesn't know, you know. It's just kind of a puff and I, I endend up just doing it. I don't know.

JS: But your enthusiasm is contagious.

GA: Thank you. I'm very... I'm excited about it, but I mean it, I... when you are in it you don't know, I mean... you know. How about you? Are you excited that your show's doing so well...

JS: No, but we're bombing. No, it's not about... [laughting] I'm just kidding. We don't have a comic book cover based on this show. You guys, you know that... look at that... A comic book! The X-Files comic book! [applause]

JS: Wow. That was an odd artist interpretation of you.

GA: It certainly was.

JS: Because you are quite lovely, and then you look at the cover and perhaps it didn't catch your loveliness. Yeah.

[laughter]

JS: See that doesn't look like you at all, for God's sake. People are sending you stuff and illustrations of you and... ?

GA: They do, they do. They send me pictures and drawings of me... some guy actually send me a piece of china that have my likeness on it but... he neglected to put clothes on me so I'm naked from here up.

JS: Yep, I got that one too. Yep, yep, the porno play too. Got it all.

GA: You do?

JS: No, no, I don't. It's in mine porno set... Oh man, I'm in trouble now.

GA: Yes, you are.

JS: But you are a married woman. Obviuosly we're just kidding around. Right?

[laughter]

JS: Aren't you?

GA: I'm married. Yes, I am.

JS: What you husband's name?

GA: My husband's name is Clyde.

JS: Clyde Anderson?

GA: No.

JS: You want me to guess?

GA: [laughing] Go ahead.

JS: Clyde Johnson.

GA: No.

JS: Clyde Ferguson.

GA: [laughing] No.

JS: Clyde Stewart.

GA: No.

JS: Clyde, The Wonder Dog. I don't know!

GA: Bingo! You got it! It's Clyde, The Wonder Dog.

JS: No, It's not.

GA: Yes, It is.

JS: What It is?

GA: Why are you asking me about my dog?

JS: What's your dog like?

GA: I don't have a dog.

JS: You don't have a dog?

GA: No, I don't.

JS: Why don't you punch me now and get it over with it? How about that? Unbelievable. Why are aliens landing always in crappy places? You get always in rain, sweat, cloudy, nasty. Why don't ever land in Hawai or something?

GA: I don't know. I've been asking that question myself. It looks good, you know, it looks good in the show. It's moody and, you know, we are... the hair is wet... It looks good.

JS: Yeah! I mean, it's makes for a very nice mood setting.

GA: It does.

JS: We actually, you know, since the Internet is a big weel of questions... from the Internet, you mind to answer a couple of questions?

GA: No.

JS: They are from Internet. We pick them up today. Have you seen a real life alien?

GA: No.

JS: OK. [laughter] Ever feel bad when you kill a monster?

GA: No.

JS: All right. [laughter] No...

GA: No, I don't feel bad when I kill a monster.

JS: [laugh]

GA: I learn that in High School! Don't you? Answers and then finish the sentence.

JS: And then you repeat the question.

GA: And then you repeat the question.

JS: All right, all right. You are getting an A.

GA: Thank you.

JS: Here's other that's very funny. "Would you be my girlfriend?" and it's from cybermike@still_a_virgin.com. Which I though is very cool.

GA: Wow. Is he human?

JS: Yes, he's human. He can type, the man has fingers and all kind of things. But you very much enjoyed yourself on the show and it's gonna be kicking for a long period of time.

GA: It's gonna be kicking past the time that I'm dead. It's gonna be on and on and on...

JS: You're bringing me down now.

GA: What I meant to say it's go on for a loong time.

JS: And then you'll be dead.

GA: And I'll be dead. [laugh]

JS: She said that with a smile. Oh my goodness. We'll take a commercial break and join some happy juices. And we'll be right back after this. With Gillian Anderson and The X-Files

[Commercial Break]

JS: We are back with the lovely Gillian Anderson from X-Files. Congratulations by the way once again.

GA: Thank you.

JS: You're welcome. Ahh, You know the number one song in the country chart? You have any idea?

GA: Yes, I do. But I don't going to tell you.

JS: Really? Ain't not free bargain Ladies and Gentlements.
