BECOME AT HOME.
>> Jimmy: I'M JIMMY KIMMEL,
THANK YOU FOR JOINING US FOR THE
TREASON FINALE OF THE DONALD
TRUMP ERA.
THIS WAS ONE OF THOSE DAYS THAT
I ALWAYS ASSUMED WAS BEHIND US.
THIS IS NOT THE SORT OF THING I
EVER IMAGINED WOULD HAPPEN IN
THIS COUNTRY IN MY LIFETIME.
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES,
BECAUSE HE IS TOO ANGRY, TOO
INSECURE, AND TOO INCOMPETENT TO
DEAL WITH THE FACT THAT HE LOST
AN ELECTION, A FAIR ELECTION, AN
ELECTION THAT WAS NO DIFFERENT
THAN ANY OTHER ELECTION.
AN ELECTION HE LOST BY
7 MILLION VOTES AND 70 ELECTORS,
TURNS AN ANGRY MOB AGAINST
MEMBERS OF CONGRESS AND HIS OWN
VICE PRESIDENT.
NOT TO MENTION ENDANGERING THE
CAPITOL POLICE, THOSE BLUE LIVES
HE CLAIMS MATTER SO MUCH TO HIM.
TRUMPERS TODAY BREACHED THE
CAPITOL WALLS.
THEY STORMED THE SENATE CHAMBER.
FIGHTING WITH POLICE, BREAKING
WINDOWS, STEALING THINGS.
WEIRDLY, THE ONLY RESPECT THAT
WAS SHOWN WAS FOR THE VELVET
ROPES.
FOR WHATEVER REASON, STAYED
WITHIN THE VELVET ROPES.
MAYBE THEY SHOULD PUT THOSE
AROUND THE WHOLE BUILDING AND
THEY'D STAY OUT.
TRESPASSERS ROAMED THE HALLS,
THEY BROKE INTO OFFICES.
THIS CREEP TOOK A SEAT AT NANCY
PELOSI'S DESK.
HE TOOK A PIECE OF MAIL OFF HER
DESK.
THE CAPITOL WAS BESIEGED BY MAGA
HATTERS IN ALL MANNER OF CRAZY
COSTUMES.
IT WAS LIKE A PSYCHOTIC "PRICE
IS RIGHT" AUDIENCE FORCIBLY
TAKING CONTROL OF THE WHEEL.
THERE WAS A MAN DRESSED AS A
VIKING IN THE CAPITOL BUILDING.
THIS GUY MADE OFF WITH A PODIUM.
LAWMAKERS HAD TO SCRAMBLE TO THE
BASEMENT FOR COVER.
MITCH McCONNELL HAD TO CRAWL
INTO HIS PROTECTIVE SHELL.
MIKE PENCE WAS EVACUATED.
EARLIER IN THE DAY, MIKE PENCE
ALMOST EVACUATED HIMSELF WHEN HE
HAD TO CALL THE PRESIDENT TO
TELL HIM HE WOULD NOT BE DOING
HIS BIDDING.
TRUMP REALLY PUT THE SQUEEZE ON
THE OLD PENCE‐DISPENSER LAST
NIGHT.
HE WROTE, IF VICE PRESIDENT MIKE
PENCE COMES THROUGH FOR US, WE
WILL WIN THE PRESIDENCY.
HE KEPT THAT UP THIS MORNING.
HE WROTE, ALL MIKE PENCE HAS TO
DO IS SEND THEM BACK TO THE
STATES WE WIN.
DO IT, MIKE, THIS IS A TIME FOR
EXTREME COURAGE.
INSTEAD, THE VICE POODLE TOOK A
LITTLE DUMP IN TRUMP'S GOLDEN
SLIPPERS.
IF THINKING YOUR VICE PRESIDENT
CAN AWARD YOU A PRESIDENCY YOU
DIDN'T WIN ISN'T DELUSION?
I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS.
BUT APPARENTLY THAT WAS FINALLY
TOO MUCH FOR MIKE PENCE.
WHO RELEASED A STATEMENT TODAY.
IT SAID, IT IS MY CONSIDERED
JUDGMENT THAT MY OATH TO SUPPORT
AND DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION
CONSTRAINS ME FROM CLAIMING
UNILATERAL AUTHORITY TO
DETERMINE WHICH ELECTORAL VOTES
SHOULD BE COUNTED AND WHICH
SHOULD NOT.
AND THAT STATEMENT WENT OVER
ABOUT AS WELL AS YOU MIGHT
EXPECT IT WOULD.
TRUMP LASHED OUT, MIKE PENCE
DIDN'T HAVE THE COURAGE TO DO
WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE TO
PROTECT OUR COUNTRY AND OUR
CONSTITUTION.
WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT?
FIRST KIM AND KANYE, NOW TRUMP
AND PENCE.
VERY SAD.
TRUMP WAS REPORTEDLY STILL
STEWING, ANGRY AT MIKE PENCE,
WHEN HE MADE THE SPEECH TODAY
THAT CAUSED ALL THIS MESS.
BENEDICT DONALD MADE AN
APPEARANCE AT WHAT WAS BILLED AS
THE RALLY TO SAVE AMERICA.
HIS SPEECH WAS HISTORIC.
NEVER BEFORE HAVE SO MANY PEOPLE
GATHERED TO WATCH A PRESIDENT
MASTURBATE.
AFTER ALMOST TWO HOURS OF
RIOTING ON THE CAPITOL, THE
NATIONAL GUARD WAS CALLED IN.
SLOWLY.
THE POLICE WERE VERY LAID BACK
COMPARED TO THE BLACK LIVES
MATTER PROTESTS.
SOME WERE SEEN TAKING SELFIES
WITH THE CRIMINALS.
OTHERS SEEMED TO WELCOME THEM
THROUGH THE GATES.
IT WAS A TERRIBLE DAY IN THE
HISTORY OF THIS COUNTRY.
OUR PRESIDENT AND THE SCUMBAGS
WHO HAVE KEPT THIS STOLEN
ELECTION CHARADE GOING, AND
THAT'S YOU, JOSH HAWLEY, THAT'S
YOU, TED CRUZ, EITHER
INTENTIONALLY OR JUST WILDLY
IRRESPONSIBLY, LIT THESE FIRES
TO START A WAR JUST TO DISTRACT
US FROM THE FACT THAT DONALD
TRUMP LOST THE ELECTION.
TED CRUZ, THIS GUY DOESN'T EVEN
BELIEVE THE ELECTION WAS STOLEN.
HE KNOWS BETTER THAN THAT.
HE'S SO HUNGRY FOR POLITICAL
POWER, HE'S SO DESPERATE TO BE
LIKED AND SUPPORTED BY THESE
NUTS WHO THINK JOE BIDEN IS A
CHINESE AGENT AND SATAN IS
TRYING TO FORCE THEM TO WEAR
MASKS TO THE MILLION, SO THAT
ONE DAY HE CAN BE PRESIDENT.
HE'S WILLING TO ROLL THE DICE ON
A CIVIL WAR.
SAME WITH JOSH HAWLEY, WHO HAD A
VERY FRIENDLY WAVE WITH THE
INVADERS TODAY.
SAME WITH KEVIN McCARTHY AND
RUDY GIULIANI, JIM JORDAN, DEVIN
NUNES, AND ESPECIALLY DONALD
TRUMP.
THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT AMERICANS.
THERE'S NO "WE THE PEOPLE,"
THERE'S "ME THE PEOPLE," AND
THAT'S IT.
THE WILDEST PART IS THESE MAGA
MARCHERS THINK DONALD TRUMP
CARES ABOUT THEM.
HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT YOU.
HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT YOUR LIFE
OR YOUR WIFE OR YOUR JOB OR YOUR
HEALTH CARE OR THE AIR YOU
BREATHE OR THE WATER YOU DRINK.
HE CARES ABOUT HIMSELF.
AND ONLY ABOUT HIMSELF.
UNLESS YOU ARE PUSHING A
LAWNMOWER, HE WOULDN'T LET YOU
INTO HIS GOLF CLUB.
HE'D ROLL HIS LIMO RIGHT OVER
YOU TO GET A CHICK‐FIL‐A
SANDWICH.
ONCE THINGS STARTED TO GET OUT
OF HAND TODAY, SOME OF TRUMP'S
ENABLERS WENT, OH‐OH, WE BETTER
SAY SOMETHING.
SO TED CRUZ TWEETED, THOSE
STORMING THE CAPITOL NEED TO
STOP NOW.
RIGHT.
IT'S ALL FUN AND GAMES TILL THEY
BURST INTO YOUR OFFICE AND COME
FOR YOUR PORNO COLLECTION,
RIGHT, TED?
EVEN MITCH McCONNELL GAVE AN
UNUSUALLY IMPASSIONED SPEECH
TODAY SAYING HE DID NOT APPROVE
OF REPUBLICAN EFFORTS TO
OVERTURN THE RESULTS OF THE
ELECTION.
THIS IS A GUY WHO'S ABOUT TO
LOSE HIS JOB AS SENATE MAJORITY
LEADER.
DEMOCRATS WILL NOW HAVE CONTROL
OF THE SENATE AFTER A DOUBLE
VICTORY IN THE GEORGIA RUNOFF
LAST NIGHT.
CONGRATULATIONS TO
SENATORS‐ELECT RAPHAEL WARNOCK
AND JON OSSOFF.
OF COURSE TRUMP'S CLAIMING THAT
ELECTION WAS FIXED TOO.
THEY JUST HAPPENED TO FIND
50,000 BALLOTS LATE LAST NIGHT,
THE USA IS EMBARRASSED BY FOOLS.
YEAH, ONLY FOR TWO MORE WEEKS WE
ARE.
EVEN THOUGH HE ONLY HAS 14 DAYS
LEFT IN OFFICE, TEAM TRUMP IS
CONTINUING TO GO AFTER ANY
REPUBLICAN WHO WON'T GO ALONG
WITH HIS NONSENSICAL B. S.
ATTACKS LED BY POWERFUL
POLITICAL FIGURES, LIKE DONALD
TRUMP JR.
>> SO TO THOSE REPUBLICANS, MANY
OF WHICH MAY BE VOTING ON THINGS
IN THE COMING HOURS, YOU HAVE AN
OPPORTUNITY TODAY.
YOU CAN BE A HERO.
OR YOU CAN AN ZERO.
>> Jimmy: LIKE ME.
AND THEN NUMBER ZERO ISSUED THIS
UNUSUAL THREAT.
>> THESE GUYS BETTER FIGHT FOR
TRUMP.
BECAUSE IF THEY'RE NOT, GUESS
WHAT?
I'M GOING TO BE IN YOUR BACKYARD
IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS.
>> Jimmy: CLEANING YOUR POOL FOR
38 BUCKS.
WHILE JUNIOR AND TWEETER DON
WERE BUSY TRYING TO FIRE UP THE
BASE, BEETER DUM WROTE, I WILL
PERSONALLY WORK TO DEFEAT EVERY
SINGLE REPUBLICAN WHO DOESN'T
STAND UP AGAINST THIS FRAUD,
THEY WILL BE PRIMARIED IN THEIR
NEXT ELECTION AND THEY WILL
LOSE, SAYS ERIC TRUMP.
THAT'S RIGHT, LOOK OUT,
POLITICIANS.
YOU DON'T PLAY BALL, YOU'RE
GOING TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS
GUY, AND HE RUNS A WINERY, SO
LOOK OUT.
ERIC TRUMP, THERE REALLY MIGHT
BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH HIM.
AS ALL THE CHAOS WAS UNFOLDING
AS AN ARMED STANDOFF WAS
HAPPENING AT HIS FATHER'S
REQUEST IN THE CHAMBER OF THE
U.S. SENATE, ERIC TRUMP TWEETED,
NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD HAVE
150,000 PEOPLE SING ME HAPPY
BIRTHDAY ON THE NATIONAL MALL IN
WASHINGTON, D. C.
MEANING, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MORON.
YOU THINK HIS FATHER WISHED HIM
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TODAY?
NOT A CHANCE.
BUT DADDY DONNIE DID HAVE A
MESSAGE FOR HIS SUPPORTERS.
HE KIND OF, MAYBE, A LITTLE BIT
TOLD THEM TO GO HOME, AND THAT
HE UNDERSTANDS WHERE THEY'RE
COMING FROM AND LOVES THEM VERY
MUCH.
FOR REAL, THAT'S WHAT HE SAID
ABOUT THE RIOTERS.
AS A RESULT, HE'S BEEN LOCKED
OUT OF HIS TWITTER ACCOUNT FOR
12 HOURS.
AND IT'S ESPECIALLY FITTING THAT
ALL THIS HAPPENED, THESE RIOTS
HE INSTIGATED OCCURRED ON THE
VERY STEPS WHERE TRUMP MADE HIS
INAUGURATION SPEECH ALMOST FOUR
LONG YEARS AGO.
SO WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE
INTERESTING TO REVISIT THAT
SPEECH WITH THE BENEFIT OF
HINDSIGHT, INCLUDING SOME OF THE
EVENTS OF TODAY.
>> WE, THE CITIZENS OF AMERICA,
ARE NOW JOINED IN A GREAT
NATIONAL EFFORT TO REBUILD OUR
COUNTRY AND RESTORE ITS PROMISE
FOR ALL OF OUR PEOPLE.
EVERY FOUR YEARS, WE GATHER ON
THESE STEPS TO CARRY OUT THE
ORDERLY AND PEACEFUL TRANSFER OF
POWER.
WE ARE ONE NATION.
WE SHARE ONE HEART, ONE HOME,
AND ONE GLORIOUS DESTINY.
THE BIBLE TELLS US HOW GOOD AND
PLEASANT IT IS WHEN GOD'S PEOPLE
LIVE TOGETHER IN UNITY.
WE MUST SPEAK OUR MINDS OPENLY,
DEBATE OUR DISAGREEMENTS
HONESTLY, BUT ALWAYS PURSUE
SOLIDARITY.
A NEW NATIONAL PRIDE WILL STIR
OUR SOULS, LIFT OUR SIGHTS, AND
HEAL OUR DIVISIONS.
TOGETHER WE WILL MAKE AMERICA
STRONG AGAIN.
WE WILL MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN.
AND YES, TOGETHER WE WILL MAKE
AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.
THANK YOU, GOD BLESS YOU, AND
GOD BLESS AMERICA.
>> Jimmy: YEAH, THANKS,
PRESIDENT TRUMP, FOR MAKING
AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.
WE NEED TO TAKE A BREAK, BADLY,
BUT WE WILL BE RIGHT BACK WITH
REGINA KING, SO STICK AROUND.
>> Jimmy: WELCOME BACK.
WE HAVE A SHORTER SHOW TONIGHT
TO MAKE WAY FOR "NIGHTLINE" AND
ABC NEWS.
BUT TOMORROW NIGHT WE'LL BE BACK
FOR AN HOUR WITH TESSA THOMPSON,
PAUL BETTANY, AND MUSIC FROM THE
GREAT STEVE EARL.
HOUR GUEST TONIGHT IS GREAT AT
EVERYTHING.
SHE'S WON AN OSCAR AND FOUR
EMMYS FOR ACTING.
SHE DIRECTS HER FIRST FEATURE
FILM, "ONE NIGHT IN MIAMI."
IT OPENS IN THEETERS FRIDAY AND
PREMIERES ON AMAZON PRIME VIDEO
ON JANUARY 15th.
PLEASE WELCOME REGINA KING.
HI, REGINA.
>> HEY, JIMMY, HOW ARE YOU?
>> Jimmy: I'M OKAY.
WHAT A DAY.
I ASSUME LIKE THE REST OF US YOU
WERE WATCHING TV ALL DAY?
>> YEAH, IT'S INTERESTING.
BECAUSE I SUSPENDED MY DIRECTV
FOR A FEW MONTHS SO I WOULD STOP
WATCHING TV SO MUCH.
AND SOMEONE CALLED ME TO TELL
ME, YEAH, YOU NEED TO TURN THE
TV ON.
SO I HAD TO BORROW A FRIEND'S
HULU LIVE ACCOUNT SO THAT I
COULD TUNE IN.
YOU KNOW, I TUNED IN TO PEOPLE
WITH PITCHFORKS.
>> Jimmy: YEAH.
>> BEING ESCORTED DOWN THE STEPS
AFTER PROTESTING, VERY CALMLY,
BY POLICE OFFICERS AFTER THEY'D
BROKEN WINDOWS AND ‐‐ YEAH.
THE DIVIDED STATES OF AMERICA.
>> Jimmy: I THINK THIS HAS BEEN
MENTIONED A LOT, BUT BOY, IT
SURE SEEMED DIFFERENT THE WAY
THIS PROTEST WAS HANDLED
COMPARED TO THE LAST PROTEST WE
HAD IN WASHINGTON, D. C.
>> YEAH.
THAT'S THE POINT THAT I'M
MAKING, THEY WERE ACTUALLY
GENTLY ESCORTED DOWN STEPS.
WHICH WAS ‐‐ NO TEAR GAS, NO ‐‐
IT WAS ‐‐ WOW.
QUITE THE VISION.
>> Jimmy: AN ILLUSTRATION, IT
REALLY WAS.
WELL, I GUESS I WILL TEACH YOU
NOT TO CANCEL YOUR DIRECTV EVER
AGAIN.
>> SURE.
OR NOT TO BORROW SOMEONE'S HUE
LIE LIVE ACCOUNT AGAIN.
>> Jimmy: HOW DO YOU DISTRACT
YOURSELF FROM THIS STUFF?
I GUESS CUTTING OFF YOUR
TELEVISION SERVICE IS ONE WAY.
BUT ARE YOU JUST WORKING ALL THE
TIME?
WHAT ARE YOU UP TO?
>> I AM DOING A LOT OF WORKING,
WHICH THAT IS ‐‐ I STARTED
GARDENING DURING THE QUARANTINE
THIS SUMMER.
>> Jimmy: LIKE WHAT KIND OF
STUFF ARE YOU GROWING?
>> I'VE GROWN KALE, TOMATOES,
DIFFERENT VARIETIES OF PEPPERS.
I'VE GROWN SOME ONIONS FROM
CUTTINGS.
I'VE HAD THREE YIELDINGS OF KALE
IN MY GARDEN SINCE I STARTED.
IT'S BEEN QUITE REWARDING.
>> Jimmy: WHO GOT YOU INTO THAT?
>> YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE
THIS.
ANTHONY ANDERSON.
IS WHO GOT ME INTO GARDENING.
BECAUSE HE HAS QUITE THE GREEN
THUMB.
WHO'D HAVE THUNK?
LIKE A FEW YEARS BACK, HE
LIKE ‐‐ I DON'T KNOW HOW HE GOT
INTO THE CONVERSATION IN ONE OF
THESE EVENTS.
AND HE'S LIKE SHOWING ME
PICTURES OF LIKE SQUASH AND ALL
OF THESE THINGS THAT HE'S GROWN
IN HIS PLOT THAT HE HAS.
AND I'M LIKE ‐‐
>> Jimmy: HE'S SERIOUS?
>> HE'S SERIOUS.
>> Jimmy: HE BUILT THE GARDENING
BEDS, HE BUILT THE WHOLE THING.
>> EXACTLY, EXACTLY, LIKE
HIMSELF.
HE ACTUALLY DID THAT.
>> Jimmy: THE PICTURE HE HAS
WITH THE GIANT ZUCCHINI HE'S
HOLDING UP PROVOCATIVELY WITH
THE PHOTOGRAPH.
>> YOU KNOW HOW MUCH ANTHONY
LOVED TAKING THAT PHOTO AND
SHOWING IT, YES.
>> Jimmy: DO YOU HAVE A
GARDENING ‐‐
>> >> NO, I WAS REALLY
IMPRESSED.
I'VE GOTTEN A FEW TIPS FROM HIM.
I STARTED MY OWN.
>> Jimmy: ARE YOU GROWING
TOMATOES RIGHT NOW?
YOU CAN'T GROW TOMATOES RIGHT
NOW, ARE YOU?
>> I HAVE SOME LITTLE ‐‐ I HAVE
A LITTLE CHERRY TOMATO.
I HAVE THREE TOMATO PLANTS.
THE CHERRY TOMATOES ARE ACTUALLY
STILL ‐‐ THEY'RE TURNING RED
RIGHT NOW.
>> Jimmy: REGINA, I WATCHED YOUR
MOVIE LAST NIGHT, AND I HAVE A
LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT IT.
I WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT, IT'S
FANTASTIC.
WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THAT,
"ONE NIGHT IN MIAMI."
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH REGINA
KING.
♪
>>> I'M ONLY 22 YEARS OLD, THERE
IS NO WAY I'M SUPPOSED TO BE
THIS GREAT.
ALEXANDER THE GREAT CONQUERED
THE WHOLE WORLD AT THE AGE OF 30
AND I CONQUERED THE WORLD OF
BOXING AT 22 WITHOUT SUSTAINING
SO MUCH AS A SCRATCH.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
>> HEY, GHOST.
YOU DO THE MATH.
>> ALL RIGHT!
WHEN, WHEN IS THIS PARTY GOING
DOWN?
>> YEAH, THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.
WHAT'S ON THE AGENDA, MALCOLM?
>> WELL, I THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE
A WONDERFUL CHANCE FOR US TO
REFLECT ON WHAT'S HAPPENED
TONIGHT.
LIKE OUR YOUNG BROTHER SAID,
THERE'S NO DENYING THAT GREATER
FORCES WERE AT WORK.
>> Jimmy: THAT IS CLIP FROM "ONE
NIGHT IN MIAMI."
DIRECTED BY REGINA KING.
THE CHARACTERS BEING PLAYED
THERE, CASSIUS CLAY, WHO BECAME
MUHAMMAD ALI.
MALCOLM X, SAM COOK, AND JIM
BROWN, THE GREAT FOOTBALL
PLAYER.
AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IN
1964, THESE GUYS ACTUALLY GOT
TOGETHER WHEN ALI BEAT SUNNY
LISTON TO WIN THE HEAVYWEIGHT
TITLE.
>> YES.
>> Jimmy: AND WHAT AN INCREDIBLE
GROUP OF PEOPLE.
HOW DID YOU FIND OUT ABOUT THIS?
>> WELL, TIM POWERS, THE WRITER,
IT WAS ACTUALLY A PLAY THAT HE
HAD WRITTEN.
AND HE ADAPTED HIS PLAY INTO A
SCREENPLAY.
AND I HAD TOLD MY AGENT THAT I
WAS INTERESTED IN TELLING A
STORY OR DIRECTING A STORY THAT
WAS A ROMANCE.
AND HE BROUGHT ME THIS.
MAYBE THIS IS MORE OF A
BROMANCE.
BUT IT WAS EXACTLY THE TYPE OF
STORY THAT I WANTED TO TELL,
THAT I WANTED TO BE A PART OF.
>> Jimmy: WE HAVE A PHOTOGRAPH
FROM I BELIEVE THAT NIGHT, THAT
WEEKEND.
THERE YOU CAN SEE ALI AND
MALCOLM X TAKING A PHOTO OF
MUHAMMAD ALI.
I LOVE THAT SO MUCH.
I GREW UP IN LAS VEGAS AND
MUHAMMAD ALI WAS ‐‐ HE'S ONE OF
MY FAVORITES.
AND TO SEE HIM PORTRAYED AS A
22‐YEAR‐OLD, JUST A KID, WAS
GREAT TO SEE.
AND ALSO, YOU KNOW, THIS KIND OF
CROSSROADS IN ALL OF THEIR LIVES
AT THIS TIME IN THEIR LIVES.
JIM BROWN IS THE ONLY LIVING
MEMBER OF THAT FOURSOME.
HAVE YOU MET HIM?
HAVE YOU SPOKEN TO HIM ABOUT
WHAT REALLY HAPPENED?
>> RIGHT.
I HAVE NOT SPOKEN TO HIM
THROUGHOUT THIS WHOLE PROCESS.
THERE'S SEVERAL INTERVIEWS WITH
JIM TALKING ABOUT THAT NIGHT,
AND THE ONE THING THAT'S
CONSISTENT IS THAT THEY ALL HAD
VANILLA ICE CREAM THAT NIGHT.
BUT HE HAS ‐‐ HE'S BEEN PRETTY
CLOSED‐LIPPED ABOUT THAT NIGHT,
AND I FEEL JUST BEING AN ARTIST
MYSELF, IF I HAD A NIGHT LIKE
THAT WITH POWER, YOU KNOW, THREE
POWERHOUSE PEOPLE, I PROBABLY
WOULD KEEP THE CONVERSATIONS TO
MYSELF AS WELL.
>> Jimmy: OH, INTERESTING.
BECAUSE I WANTED TO ASK YOU
ABOUT WORKING WITH TUPAC.
WHAT CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT THAT
NIGHT OR DAY OR WHATEVER, MONTH,
WHATEVER IT WAS, POETIC JUSTICE?
>> I'LL TELL YOU HOW WE FIRST
MET.
WE FIRST MET DURING THE TABLE
READ OF "POETIC JUSTICE."
I WAS ON MY WAY TO THE TABLE
READ.
AND I GOT INTO A REALLY BAD CAR
ACCIDENT, SO I DIDN'T HAVE A CAR
AFTER THE TABLE READ.
Q‐TIP ASKS ME, DO I WANT A RIDE?
I SAID NO.
GLAD I DID.
IF I DIDN'T, I MAY NOT HAVE HAD
MY SON.
THAT'S ANOTHER STORY.
>> Jimmy: WHAT?
>> YEAH, MY SON'S FATHER WAS
ACTUALLY ROAD QUEST'S ROAD
MANAGER.
DID NOT KNOW MY SON'S FATHER AT
THE TIME.
Q‐TIP WAS KIND OF A BIG DEAL TO
ME.
SO I WAS TURNING DOWN THE RIDE.
>> Jimmy: OH, I SEE.
>> YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
>> Jimmy: WOW.
>> BECAUSE I FELT LIKE IT WAS A
BETTER DEAL TO TAKE THE RIDE
FROM TUPAC, WHO HAD ALSO OFFERED
ME A RIDE, BECAUSE WE WERE GOING
TO HAVE SO MANY SCENES TOGETHER,
AND I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE GOOD
TO GET TO KNOW HIM.
WE ENDED UP DRIVING AROUND
BEFORE I'D GOTTEN TO ‐‐ BEFORE
HE BROUGHT ME HOME, JUST HAD A
GOOD TIME GETTING TO KNOW EACH
OTHER.
AND WE PULLED OVER IN SANTA
MONICA AT A PHONE BOOTH TO LOOK
AT A PHONE BOOK, BECAUSE WE WERE
TRYING TO FIND A RESTAURANT OR
SOMETHING.
I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT WE WERE
TRYING TO FIND.
BUT BACK THEN, THERE WERE PHONE
BOOTS WITH PHONE BOOKS, AND YOU
ACTUALLY USED THEM.
SO WE WERE STANDING OUT THERE,
AND THE POLICE ROLLED UP, WHOOP
WHOOP!
CAME UP TO US.
THEY WERE ASKING US, OH, SO
YOU'RE HERE TO BUY DRUGS?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE IN THE
NEIGHBORHOOD?
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU
SMOKED CRACK?
LIKE, WHAT?
YOU KNOW.
WE MAY OR MAY HAVE NOT SMOKED
SOME WEED.
BUT CRACK?
LIKE, COME ON.
BUT THAT WAS THE FIRST DAY PAC
AND I MET EACH OTHER.
>> Jimmy: WOW.
>> THAT WAS OUR EXPERIENCE.
>> Jimmy: THAT IS ‐‐ WHAT A
LIFE.
AND WHAT A DIRECTOR YOU ARE.
WHAT A GREAT JOB YOU DID ON
THIS.
I AM SO IMPRESSED.
IT'S REALLY A FUN MOVIE TO
WATCH.
AND EXCELLENT.
IT'S CALLED "ONE NIGHT IN
MIAMI."
IT OPENS IN THEATERS FRIDAY.
