>> dicky: From hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live."
tonight, goldie hawn. Alex winter.
Mike tyson. And music from beabadoobee.
And now, jimmy kimmel! >> jimmy: Hi, everyone.
Thank you, I'm jimmy, I'm the host.
Thanks for watching. Thank you for joining us on day
15 of squattergate. He's still in there, we think.
[ laughter ] big baby bone spurs is digging
in like a tick in your stomach. He is hunkered down in the west
wing. He canceled his thanksgiving
trip to mar-a-lago. And according to one official,
there is a bunker mentality in the white house.
Somewhere between archie and hitler.
[ laughter ] and ever since he didn't lose
the election, trump is said to be in a dark mood.
Which is a shame. He was such a positive dude
before this. [ laughter ]
what he's doing in the white house, nobody knows.
He's been tweeting, we do know that.
Sometimes he leaves to play golf.
And that seems to be it, which is weird, because it almost
seems hypocritical coming from the guy who likes to say this.
>> these people do nothing. They talk a big game and they do
nothing. They've done nothing, they do
nothing. I see these phoneys, the
do-nothing democrats. They keep talking, they do
nothing about it, they do nothing about it.
I call them the do-nothing democrats.
The do-nothing democrats and they are do nothing.
>> joe biden wouldn't have done anything.
>> the democrats have been playing at it for years and
haven't done anything. He'll say, oh, yes, we did
this -- he did nothing. He did nothing and he got
nominated. 47 years he did nothing.
For the most part they did lil. I did so much.
I did everything and more than everything.
>> jimmy: And more. No president has done more
everything than him. [ applause ]
this is his official schedule today.
From the white house. The president has no public
events scheduled. This is the longest he's gone
without taking questions from reporters since taking office.
It's been two weeks. John things are bad when he
doesn't even have the energy to go on the lawn and yell at jim
acosta. [ laughter ]
what trump has been doing is firing people for no good
reason. After the head of his own
cybersecurity agency publicly confirmed that there was no
evidence of wrongdoing, and this was the most secure election
ever, trump let him go. The guy's name is chris krebs.
He was terminated last night via tweet.
Which is not normal. Usually to get rid of krebs
trump uses a comb and medicated shampoo.
[ laughter ] the fellows know what I'm
talking about, right, guillermo? >> guillermo: Right, jimmy,
yeah. [ laughter ]
>> jimmy: It's a dangerous time to be reasonable.
Basically, if you work for donald trump, there are two
possible outcomes. You get fired, or you get covid.
[ laughter ] meanwhile, there are some folks
in the white house who are working harder than they ever
have before. Press secretary kalie macadamia
nut job is turning out -- [ laughter ]
>> jimmy: -- The b.S. At 110% right now.
>> if the president doesn't win and joe biden, it's proven that
he is the elected president, what happens with the transfer
of power? Will it be peaceful?
>> look, this president has always said he will engage in a
peaceful transfer of power if the facts bear out that way.
But the president believes, and so too do many others, if every
legal vote is counted he will remain president.
He's pursuing litigation. But this president always wants
what's in the best interests of our country.
>> jimmy: And by "our country" she means russia.
[ laughter ] I know what's going on, she
doesn't want to go back. Her job before this was she was
the hostess at applebee's. [ laughter ]
and they are so desperate to come up with something,
anything, that could potentially save this stinking ship,
including all sorts of major breaking scoops.
>> coming to air with you tonight there's reporting that
in a third county in georgia, in walton county, they have found
the same issue, a memory card that was not registered with
votes, and guess what, these votes favor president donald j.
Trump. >> jimmy: Whoa, whoa.
[ laughter ] how could they forget a memory
card? It makes no sense at all.
And it got even better from there.
>> I held up these papers, these affidavits.
234 pages of sworn affidavits under penalty of perjury --
>> by the way, whoa, what did cnn say about when you held them
up on this program? Didn't they accuse you of
holding up blank sheets? >> that's right, they did about
a 10-minute monologue saying these were blank.
They're not blank. >> jimmy: They've got sharpie
and barbecue sauce all over them.
[ laughter ] they're not blank.
That's their best defense now. The papers are not blank!
The think tank in trumpland is empty.
Everything is bogus. Voting results, crowd size,
witch hunts, perfect calls, dr. Fauci, rex tillerson, john
kelly, john bolton, michael bolton, michael cohen,
windmills, caravans. They're all against him.
The deep state. Hillary's emails.
Pizzagate. Every week there's a new plot
against donald trump. How much gas is left in this
already? 63 days, folks.
63 more days. [ cheers and applause ]
while we're on the subject of former presidents, tomorrow
night our guest will be barack obama.
[ cheers and applause ] for those of you who are too
young to remember or did a lot of drugs was our president just
before civilization collapsed. So that will be fun.
I have a lot of questions for barack obama.
Like, where the hell did you go? [ laughter ]
trump by the way is reported to be worried that joe biden is
going to get all the credit for the covid vaccine.
Which is ridiculous. You think of it like the polio
vaccine. You think of jonas salk, the
doctor who developed it. Nobody remembers who was
president then. Why would donald trump think he
is responsible for the vaccine just because it was developed
during his presidency? Should we blame him for
directing the movie "cats" too? By that logic.
[ laughter ] he's like, I demand credit for
the vaccine that stops a virus I've spent almost a year denying
is at all a problem. Apparently trump was planning
some kind of big reveal. A vac-stravaganza of some kind.
Of course he was. Ted nugent and kid rock
shredding on stage. A mosh pit.
A bonfire of n95 masks. Every other tent is a kissing
booth. Trump was reportedly planning to
have a press conference at which he would read past headlines
that were negative toward him. I guess he'd say, "I told you
so." how would that go, exactly?
Look at this, "trump silent on virus surge as cases rise."
told you! "trump claims coronavirus
outbreak is a fake news conspiracy!"
told you! "trump went golfing 25 times as
a virus killed over 200,000 americans!"
he wants to remind us of this? Go ahead.
It sounds like a fun afternoon. [ laughter ]
the sad truth is dolly parton did more to stop the coronavirus
than the president of the united states.
[ cheers and applause ] schools are closed now,
tomorrow, in new york. They announced that today.
Thanksgiving plans are being canceled.
Some businesses are running into problems figuring out
appropriate ways to word their advertising.
>> supermarket chain apologizing for an ad that's been called
completely tone deaf. Giant supermarkets ran the ad in
the east coast chain's magazine. It reads, hosting?
Plan a super spread. [ moans ]
>> jimmy: At least they were honest.
You've got to own that kind of thing.
Make it your brand. If you're going to go, death by
shrimp cocktail is not the worst way to do it.
[ laughter ] "tone deaf" would be a great
rapper name, right? >> guillermo: Yeah.
>> jimmy: Are you even listening?
>> guillermo: I am listening, yeah, it's a good name, yeah.
[ applause ] >> jimmy: I feel like a gunman
could come and shoot me 12 times, you wouldn't ever notice.
>> guillermo: That won't ever happen, jimmy.
>> jimmy: That will never happen?
This is a big night for basketball.
The nba draft, which is usually in June -- I have no idea when
sports are happening are anymore.
I didn't realize how much of my life was scheduled around them.
Today was the nba draft. I don't know if you know.
Tomorrow's the olympics, and the super bowl is the fourth night
of hanukkah, I think. [ laughter ]
then the weekend after next we have the highly anticipated
return of mike tyson. After 15 years, mike tyson is
stepping back in the ring to fight roy jones jr.
And guess what, he's joining us now from his home.
[ cheers and applause ] say hi to mike tyson.
Hi, mike. How you doing?
>> good, man, I'm doing well. >> jimmy: It's very good to see
you. Now, you're fighting Saturday
after next. The last time you had a
professional fight was in 2005. Bush was president in 2005.
>> yes. >> jimmy: After that fight you
said, I'm not interested in fighting anymore, I hate it.
I think you said, I don't like the smell of the gym, I don't
want any of it. What happened, mike?
>> well, listen. Jimmy, you have to understand,
right? Even though I haven't been
fighting, I'm champ of many, many countries.
I'm champ of countries that don't even speak my language.
These guys wanted to see me again.
>> jimmy: So you're doing this for the world?
>> absolutely. They want to see me do this
again. Then, of course, I know there's
people that are jealous. And I understand.
Jealousy is cool, I like jealousy, it's very
inspirational. >> jimmy: Okay.
>> so I'm doing a lot of inspiration for people.
>> jimmy: You are fighting for the world, and to stop the
haters is what you're saying? >> well -- I love the haters.
They inspire me. >> jimmy: Oh, all right.
[ laughter ] >> without haters, I'm nothing.
I'm garbage, I'm nothing without haters.
[ laughter ] >> jimmy: That's what motivates
you. Roy jones jr., he just retired a
couple of years ago, but you are the favorite.
Have you been looking at the odds, the gambling odds?
>> well -- I -- I humbly say I'm -- I don't look at odds of
favor. I make my reality happen.
>> jimmy: Right. >> when I'm in the ring.
>> jimmy: You don't even wear socks most of the time.
>> no. Well -- I won't need my socks.
[ laughter ] >> jimmy: You don't need socks.
That should be the name of this fight.
"I don't need socks" fight. >> name of the fight should be
"beauty." check this out.
I'm beautiful, baby. Look at me now.
>> jimmy: Wow. >> look at this body, baby.
[ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: Wow.
>> look at this body, baby. >> jimmy: Wow.
You do look beautiful. Have you been abstaining from
everything? >> hey, listen.
Maybe not, no. [ laughter ]
but that's for young people to do that.
>> jimmy: Uh-huh. >> I already have my discipline.
>> jimmy: Speaking of young people, I want to ask you this.
Because I know you are a boxing historian, a student --
>> I know a few things, jimmy, I know a few things.
>> jimmy: If 20-year-old mike tyson fought 54-year-old mike
tyson, what would the outcome be?
How many rounds, what happens? >> that would be a pretty
interesting fight. I'm telling you, that young guy,
he's going to run into something.
>> jimmy: What guy. >> the little reckless young
guy. >> jimmy: Okay.
>> think he got a hard punch and he can take a real good shot?
I don't know if he can take one of my shots.
>> jimmy: Well, we're going to -- I guess we'll never find
out, no. [ laughter ]
mike this fight's a little different.
Eight two-minute rounds, shorter than the usual three.
And no fans will be in attendance.
Does that make it less fun? >> I knock people out in less
than 8 seconds and the fans didn't have a chance to see it.
[ laughter ] >> jimmy: That's true.
Sometimes you knocked guys out on your way into the ring, it
seemed like. >> yeah, that's called lawsuits.
[ laughter ] >> jimmy: Will you be wearing a
mask during this fight? >> well -- I'm sure my opponent
will be wearing one after. [ laughter ]
>> jimmy: An oxygen mask, perhaps?
Some of the proceeds for this are going to charity.
You're garnuaranteed $10 millio- >> I don't know nothing about
money. >> jimmy: I do.
>> I don't want no money, take that money that belongs to them.
Listen, this is not my life no more.
I'm here to try to make things happen, make things a better
place. I want to die with a good
conscience, man. >> jimmy: I know a lot of people
might scoff at this, roll their eyes, but I know this to be true
about you. I remember many years ago, I had
some idea that could have made you a lot of money and you're
like, ah, when I have a lot of money, bad things happen, I'm
going to pass on that. >> that did, that was really
tricky back then, yeah. >> jimmy: Yeah.
>> the time back then. >> jimmy: Will you start buying
tigers again or anything like that?
>> no, but I'm interested in this dog and a couple of horses
that I saw. [ laughter ]
>> jimmy: All right, a dog and horses, that's good, that's
safe. [ applause ]
is this a one-time thing, this fight?
Or will this -- is this going to be like a senior tour?
>> well, you tell me after you witness it.
>> jimmy: Okay, all right. Because I have an idea.
I would like to see you fight legends from other sports.
I'd love to see you fight pete rose, for instance.
>> I'm very good friends with mr. Rose, that's not going to
ever happen. >> jimmy: Maybe you could fight
bjorn borg, do you know him? >> that would be a good fight.
[ laughter ] >> jimmy: That would be good,
all right. Mike tyson versus roy jones jr.,
Saturday, November 28th, staples center, 9:00 eastern.
Watch the fight on pay-per-view and streaming at
tysononstiller.Com. >> thank you so much.
>> jimmy: Break a leg, but I mean that figuratively, okay?
>> I'll break some drawers. >> jimmy: All right, pal, take
care. [ cheers and applause ]
we've got a goo good show. Alex winter is here.
Music from beabadoobee. And be right back with goldie
hawn! >> jimmy: Welcome back to the
show. You know him as either bill or
ted, nobody's totally sure, alex winter is with us.
[ applause ] later, she is apple music's up
next artist. Her debut album is called "fake
it flowers." music from beabadoobee.
[ applause ] tomorrow night music from zac
brown band and barack obama will be our guest tonight.
An oscar and golden globe winner who was at one time the world's
most famous go-go dancer. Her holiday movie with kurt
russell is called "the christmas chronicles 2."
it premieres a week from today on netflix.
Please welcome goldie hawn. [ cheers and applause ]
hi, goldie, how are you? >> I'm really good but I miss
walking an to the stage. >> jimmy: I know, I would have
loved to have you here. >> it's one of these things.
The walk-on is so fun. The audience.
It will come back, but I'm happy to see you this way.
>> jimmy: I'm happy to see you too.
We've met before but you've not been on the show.
Your man friend, kurt russell, has been on the show.
Your kids have been on the show. Now I feel like we've completed
the set with you and your dog. >> yeah, no, me and bennie,
yeah. We're a team.
And it's good to be on the show, I know.
I often wonder why I'm the last one, but it's okay, I don't have
a problem. >> jimmy: It's called the
closer, goldie, the closer. [ applause ]
>> is that the 11:00 number? >> jimmy: I assume you're at
home right now? >> I am.
I'm at home. I'm in my bedroom.
Well, our bedroom. And kurt set this up.
And this is the fireplace that he actually helped make and gave
me the heart. He went and got that and he put
four little hearts and those are our children.
So he's an okay guy. >> jimmy: Yeah, he is.
He's a real man is what he is. Have you been there during the
pandemic, have you been at home the whole time?
>> yeah, we've been home. Actually, we did go to aspen.
And we do for many years, as long as we've been together
we've had a place there as well. >> jimmy: I heard you guys took
an rv up to aspen, you drove there?
>> no, no. Kurt got obsessed with an rv.
And every morning and every night I would hear a new
advertisement that was a video on his ipad.
And it was a different guy and it was a different personality
and it was all about the door, about the toilet, about you can
stand up in the shower, you can whatever.
And finally I said, you've got a relationship with this rv that
you don't even have yet. And it was pretty unbelievable.
Meanwhile, he got one. It came from florida.
He was completely obsessed with this thing.
And you know, I'm not what we call a camper-type person.
But I had to get with it. And I tell you, we did go
camping with the family once with all of this, and it was so
much fun. I mean, we -- we had a really
good time. It was the first time kurt's
been driving a big, big van like that.
>> jimmy: The reason I ask you about it, I did exactly the same
thing. I started to get a little
stir-crazy with the kids and I was like, we've got to get out
of this house. And so I went to a part of los
angeles that I didn't even know existed.
[ laughter ] it's called downey.
[ laughter and applause ] it's where they invented the
fabric softener, I think. I came home with an rv, much to
my wife's consternation. >> oh my god, that's my story.
I got to know all the guys selling it, you know.
At one point kurt called them up and said, look, you sold me the
rv, you're my guy. That's when I thought, now we
have a serious problem, because there's a bromance going on.
I had nothing to do with buying it, nor did I say, let's go
camping! Not my thing.
Anyway, how did you do when you first started driving such a big
thing? >> jimmy: I did okay.
I will tell you, though, I understand the bond that kurt
has with this rv salesman because I had the same thing.
Because as we drove, I had 100,000 questions for him.
And you have to be able to get in touch with him in case
anything bad happens. >> 100%.
I really thought that we would see him at the camp.
[ laughter ] I thought this guy was going to
have to get my side of the bed up, it was really something.
We're driving, we out -- we weren't in downey, we were
somewhere in the valley. We're now driving, we have the
kids with us, oliver had a big trailer, we were going on this
trip. So on this -- we're driving down
the 101. And we're -- I said to kurt,
honey, I think you're hitting those cones.
They kind of look like they're cement but they're not.
And we're hitting those. He said, I know, but there's
people coming on my left and I don't want to get into that.
And I said, okay, well then hit the cones, I guess.
That's the best thing. [ laughter ]
all of a sudden I see wyatt flying past us.
He must be doing 100 miles an hour, this is crazy.
In the meantime, we finally get there where we're supposed to
go, aside from the fact that we got to the wrong place, it was
horrible, blah blah. But when we got all together, I
said, wyatt, you were hightailing it right past us.
He said, mom, you guys were doing 50 miles an hour in a
70-mile-an-hour zone. You had a city of cars behind
you. And literally you didn't know.
And kurt's driving and having fun.
And it was like a joke. So anyway, point is, we had the
biggest family laugh I think we ever had.
We were all together, and I can't remember having a laugh
like that. We laugh a lot in our family,
but we were around the campfire that night and I swear to god,
we laughed for about probably 10 minutes straight.
About how -- what asses we were. [ laughter ]
there's nothing better than laughing at yourself.
This is family time. >> jimmy: It has become family
time. Turns out a fear of a deadly
pandemic has really brought us together.
[ laughter ] goldie, I am from las vegas.
I grew up there. So I was interested in this
photograph. This is a marquee at the las
vegas hilton, goldie hawn, directed and choreographed by
jerry jackson, music direction by marvin laird, special guests
gladys knight and the pips. When was this?
>> oh my god. It was right after -- right when
sugar line express came out. It had to be like '72, maybe.
>> jimmy: Okay. >> and yeah, so I did have a
job, basically a dealer at the cesars palace.
Then the guy moved over, he went to the hill ilton, he said, we
want you here. It became like a bidding thing.
I ended up going to the hilton. It was a huge stage, like a
football stadium. I can't say -- I was a dancer,
that's how I started, I danced in las vegas.
It wasn't headlining. I came there -- I turned 21 in
las vegas, tell you the truth. >> jimmy: What shows did you
dance with in las vegas? >> I didn't dance in any shows.
We had our own show called "noble new."
five shows a night. Started 8:30 at night, got off
5:00 in the morning. We did about four shows in the
lounge. >> jimmy: Wow.
>> I had to make sure they knew I was a dancer and not a
showgirl. That was like one of the things
that I went, no, I'm a real dancer, I'm not just prancing
around, right? >> jimmy: Oh.
>> in the meantime, I escaped that show, which is a book, went
to l.A., I'll never go to vegas again.
I ended up doing the show and the number was called --
♪ I love trash dirty dungee dusty ♪
>> jimmy: That is "sesame street," that is oscar the
grouch's song. >> no, it's a series -- that's
exactly right. I was on roller skates.
Everybody's like -- like a children's story mood.
I mean, it's vegas. I had an anxiety attack as this
went on. [ laughter ]
my shoes! I'm never going to do this
again! I've got to cut this number!
Then I would go upstairs to my room after it was over and wait
for the next show, right? Well, I went to elvis' suite
because he allowed me to live in his suite.
>> jimmy: I bet he did, yeah. [ laughter ]
>> I was there and my dad was also in the show with me.
So I live with my father in elvis' suite.
And you know what? It was -- that was the greatest
time. >> jimmy: Oh my god, what could
be better? >> I was 114 degrees so I
couldn't go outside because I would probably sweat myself, I
would be so tired that I had to stay in there, in his suite.
But I loved it. >> jimmy: You went from a trash
can to elvis' suite within moments.
>> no, I'm telling you. You know, I make pretty good
transitions. [ laughter ]
>> jimmy: We're going to take a break.
When we come back, goldie hawn will be with us.
We'll be right back. >>> little children.
>> well, we can't send them home on an empty stomach.
>> certainly not. >> that would be rude.
>> oh, very unthoughtful. >> we can't have that.
>> no. No.
Well, then, it's decided. They'll come to our house for
early dipper, then you'll take them back.
>> exactly what I was thinking. >> and I have to prepare.
Oh, I have to prepare. Jojo, I need corn for popping,
three french hens, a partridge, a pear, and figgy pudding.
>> jimmy: That is kurt russell and goldie hawn in "the
christmas chronicles 2" on netflix premiering a week from
tonight -- I guess it's the season, huh?
>> it's definitely the season, definitely.
It was a great experience. >> jimmy: When do you guys start
decorating the house? >> well, yeah, we -- well,
actually, yeah. I mean, this year we're going to
be in l.A. But normally we're in aspen.
Where it actually looks like santa's house.
We have a log house and decorate it to the hilt.
All children are there. And it's kind of pretty amazing.
You know, kurt plays an amazing santa.
He's also played a great santa at home.
I never thought I would play mrs. Claus.
>> jimmy: That wasn't on your list?
You weren't thinking that when you were in vegas in the '70s?
One day I'm going to play mrs. Claus!
>> no. In my gold bead dress and all
that, no. Definitely could never imagine
that. >> jimmy: What kind of sheets
did elvis have there in that -- [ laughter ]
>> yeah, well, I don't remember the sheets because I was too
busy looking up. Because there was a mirror on
top of the bed. [ laughter ]
>> jimmy: Oh -- what? >> I was looking at that
thinking, this could be fun. But yeah, so I didn't look at
the sheets. I can imagine.
I would say probably they were like tiger or something.
>> jimmy: Oh, and you know what, now that I'm remembering, kurt
played elvis, right? In a movie, a tv movie, some
time ago? >> longt time ago.
He was absolutely brilliant. He played elvis and he played
santa. And he did them both equally as
good. >> jimmy: Somebody reminded me
today, kurt was here promoting the hit, he mentioned you hated
his facial hair. Are you okay with the santa
look? >> yes.
As a matter of fact, I kind of love the santa look.
Because his beard was a work of art.
And I had an experience where I was supposed to deliver a line.
All lit and looking beautiful on the set, the light was on him,
he was acting. And I got lost in his beard.
It was so beautiful. [ laughter ]
and it was like -- then they said, goldy.
What? You forgot your line.
I went, oh my god, I am so sorry.
And I said, I think maybe I'm falling in love with kurt all
over again. I became completely engaged in
how he looked. >> jimmy: I had that same
experience a couple of weeks ago when david letterman was on the
show. [ laughter ]
goldie, it has been a great pleasure to chat with you.
Give my best to the whole family.
Goldie hawn, "the christmas chronicles 2" a week from today
on netflix. Thanks, goldie.

How long were you here? >> think a year or so at least.
I mean, bobcat goldthwait was here, fleischer was here, tom

It was a really fun place to work.
I hate to walk on your show and blow smoke up my old boss' back

don't have to blow any smoke. It was crazy back then, it was
bananas. Everything was live.
Shoot the thing in five minutes. Get it to edit.
Everyone's thinking they're about to be walter cronkite or

Because we were still using beta tapes.
Running the tapes from one building to the next.

lot. >> yeah.
>> jimmy: I think we had a bachelor show starring tron guy.
>> we did. >> jimmy: Shockingly, we never
wound up pairing him off with anyone.
>> it was so strange. >> jimmy: Very strange.
>> uncle frank did a bunch of stuff, we did one routine where
we snuck into his apartment, like at, I don't know, 9:00 in
the morning and rigged his entire -- remember that?
>> jimmy: Yes, this was my idea. I was thinking about how far we
could push things for uncle frank.
And I thought, wow, what if, in the middle of the night, frank
sinatra's ghost appears to him? [ laughter ]
>> right. >> jimmy: He used to work for
frank sinatra. And starts speaking to him.
Yeah, you guys snuck in there. We got a guy who looked like
frank sinatra. >> we projected it.
He came home. We were all like in his closet.
Under his bed. We waited till he went to sleep.
Then we beamed sinatra's ghost onto his ceiling.
>> jimmy: As I recall, he didn't believe it for a second.
>> dude, it was a complete disaster.
[ laughter ] >> jimmy: Disaster, yeah, but a
great story. >> it is, yeah.
I loved him so much. He was the sweetest guy in the
world. >> jimmy: Yes, he was.
[ applause ] you and tom, our mutual friend
tom stern, who is a director here, you directed a movie that
one of the stars was mr. T. >> yes, the great tom stern, a
film called "freaks." in that film mr. T. Played the
bearded lady. One of the members of the freak
show. I was another.
Keanu was another. There were many.
Really, the only thing he had to do was wear a taffeta dress.
That was it. A big beard, taffeta dress.
>> jimmy: The t. Is short for "taffeta."
>> that's what we believed when we cast him, yeah.
>> jimmy: What was that like with mr. T.?
>> I saw him recently. I mean, he had -- time does good
things to the memory, I guess. >> jimmy: He didn't have a good
time? >> no, he -- I mean, he was
great up until the point at which he bailed out on our set
four days before he was done shooting.
>> jimmy: Oh, he did? >> yes, he vanished.
I mean, he literally vanished. No one could find mr. T.
And we're shooting. We're like -- we have stuff
coming up with t., it's very important.
Literally, he's gone. I eventually found him.
Someone came to me at one point, we've got him on the phone.
What does that even mean? I get on the phone.
It's mr. T. Back in chicago. He's left taffeta dress back in
wardrobe, on a plane, he's home. T. What are you doing?
He's like, "I'm done, I'm done." no, you're not done, we have a
week of shooting. We had an actor on the set, lee
aaronberg, "pirates of the caribbean," brilliant actor, he
played the human torch, he farted flames out of his back --
you see why I worked here. >> jimmy: That's what brought us
together. >> lee and t. Used to do dueling
t. Impressions on set that were phenomenal.
We pulled lee in and said, you're t. Now.
He did all the adr. A lot of t.'s best jokes are not
actually -- [ applause ]
>> jimmy: Wow, the magic of mo
movies. >> yeah, you know.
>> jimmy: Tell me about zappa. Frank zappa, for those who don't
know, there are people who know the name but don't know, talk
about him. >> zappa, growing up for us, I
discovered him on "snl" in the '70s.
As much as he was a rock god, he was like a george carlin,
richard pryor. Super funny, politically active,
fascinating. >> jimmy: A genius.
>> musical genius. >> jimmy: Not just a musical
genius, but eccentric genius. >> he made films, art, nothing
he couldn't do well, but his story hadn't been told.
I pitched it to his widow gail. They gave me access to his
entire vault, which was like the end of "raiders of the lost
ark." >> jimmy: Really?
>> floor to ceiling, suffas far as you could see.
>> jimmy: You kick started a campaign to get this going.
>> yeah. >> jimmy: Did you go through
everything in the vault? >> pretty much, raised about
$1.25 million, preserved a lot of the media.
We had like 10,000 rabid backers waiting for this movie, it took
six years to make it. >> jimmy: Did you find anything
you did not want to find in the videos?
>> well -- I mean, look. Every day we found something.
But you know. When you're making a movie about
a guy who's at the forefront of the sexual revolution, some of
that media you don't want to see.
[ laughter ] I would call the family, I got
this. They're like, place don't.
You don't ever need to see that. I'm like, okay, putting that
back on the shelf. >> jimmy: So that is back on the
shelf. >> very much, yeah.
Duct taped it, yeah, yeah. I can't unsee it.
I saw it. >> jimmy: Imagine how his kids
might feel about it. >> yeah, they shouldn't look at
it. >> jimmy: That's good advice.
So you made this. Now do you feel -- I know frank
zappa fans are one of the most passionate groups.
Have they accepted -- I know you got very good reviews for the
film. >> yeah.
>> jimmy: What about from them? >> yeah, we've had great
response from the zappa fans. I mean, we didn't make a piece
of fan service, we made a movie about a really, really vibrant
human being. A guy who was at the forefront
of voting rights, anti-authoritarian, fighting the
senate for censorship. We could use him right now.
>> jimmy: Yeah, you're right, you're right.
And he played a hell of a guitar.
>> yeah. >> jimmy: It's great to see you.
Welcome back. >> thank you, sir.
