Steve: FROM STUDIO 6B IN ROCKEFELLER CENTER IN THE HEART
OF NEW YORK CITY, IT'S "THE TONIGHT SHOW STARRING JIMMY FALLON."
TONIGHT, JOIN JIMMY AND HIS GUESTS -- NATHAN LANE,
DOVE CAMERON, MUSICAL GUEST, LIL UZI VERT, AND FEATURING THE LEGENDARY
ROOTS CREW. Questlove: BAH, YA, YA! Steve: AND NOW, HERE HE IS,
JIMMY FALLON!
** [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] Jimmy: RIGHT BACK AT YOU.
RIGHT BACK AT YOU. I LOVE YOU. ENJOY YOURSELF.
WELCOME, EVERYBODY. WELCOME, WELCOME, WELCOME TO "THE TONIGHT SHOW."
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] GOOD TO SEE YOU. GOOD TO SEE YOU, HIGGINS.
Steve: GOOD TO SEE YOU. Jimmy: WELL, GUYS, EVERYBODY'S TALKING ABOUT THIS.
ON SATURDAY, FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP HELD HIS FIRST OFFICIAL CAMPAIGN RALLY IN
TEXAS. YEP, YOU COULD TELL TRUMP WAS NERVOUS ABOUT GETTING ARRESTED,
BECAUSE HE GAVE HIS SPEECH WITH ONE FOOT IN MEXICO. [ LAUGHTER ]
ALONG WITH TRUMP, THE CROWD ALSO HEARD FROM MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE,
TED NUGENT AND THE MYPILLOW GUY. [ LAUGHTER ]
RUDY GIULIANI WAS WATCHING AT HOME LIKE, "AM I TOO CRAZY? OR NOT CRAZY ENOUGH?"
[ LAUGHTER ] YEP, TRUMP, MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE,
TED NUGENT, AND THE MYPILLOW GUY, OR AS THEY'RE ALSO KNOWN, "FOUR LOKO."
[ LAUGHTER ] THAT'S -- THAT'S THE ONLY GROUP WHERE ONE PERSON STEPS OUT OF
THE ROOM, AND THE OTHER THREE ARE LIKE, "OH, BOY." [ LAUGHTER ]
YEP, TRUMP MADE A LOT OF HEADLINES FOR HIS RALLY THIS WEEKEND.
WELL, I GUESS HIS STAFF TRIED TO KEEP HIM ON MESSAGE BY MAKING HIM USE A TELEPROMPTER,
WHICH -- CHECK OUT WHAT THEY WERE SHOWING TO KEEP HIM FOCUSED.
I GAVE THEM HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF JAVELINS, WHEREAS OBAMA GAVE THEM PILLOWS.
[ LIGHT LAUGHTER ] WE MUST NOT ALLOW THEM TO GO THROUGH ANOTHER ELECTION WHERE
THEY HAVE YET ANOTHER TOOL -- WE HAVE SOME GREAT CONGRESSMEN THAT, PROBABLY, THEY WOULDN'T
GO AFTER, BECAUSE THEY'RE TOO CLEAN. THEY'RE THE CLEANEST PEOPLE
I'VE EVER MET. OUR BIGGEST THREAT ARE HIGH LEVEL POLITICIANS THAT WORK IN
THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT, LIKE MITCH McCONNELL, NANCY PELOSI, SCHUMER, BIDEN --
THEY'VE GOT NOTHING. [ LAUGHTER ] IT PROBABLY MAKES ME THE MOST
INNOCENT MAN IN THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY. [ LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE ]
Jimmy: SOME -- SOME BUSINESS NEWS. ELON MUSK JUST VALUED TWITTER
AT $20 BILLION, WHICH IS LESS THAN HALF OF WHAT HE PAID FOR IT LAST YEAR.
YEAH. YOU'VE GOT TO GIVE HIM CREDIT THOUGH, AT A TIME WHEN THE
PRICE OF EVERYTHING HAS GONE UP, ELON CUT TWITTER IN HALF. [ LIGHT LAUGHTER ]
SO, I MEAN THAT'S -- HE LOST $24 BILLION IN VALUE. YEP, IT'S STRANGE WHEN
FLAMMABLE TESLAS AREN'T THE WORST THING IN YOUR PORTFOLIO. [ LAUGHTER ]
HEY, I SAW THAT DUNCAN DONUTS JUST LAUNCHED THEIR FIRST EVER BREAKFAST TACOS.
YEAH, AND IF YOU ORDERED THAT WITH A COFFEE, IT'S LIKE ADDING MENTOS TO DIET COKE.
[ LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE ] YEAH, DUNCAN SAID THEIR GOAL IS TO RUIN TACOS THE SAME WAY THEY
RUINED AVOCADO TOAST. [ LAUGHTER ] OH, WELL LISTEN TO THIS, I READ
THAT RED BULL SALES ARE UP, THANKS TO THE RETURN OF PARTIES, EXERCISE, AND PEOPLE
WORKING IN THE OFFICE. IT'S WEIRD -- IT'S LIKE WE'RE FINALLY HEALTHY ENOUGH TO BE
UNHEALTHY AGAIN. [ LIGHT LAUGHTER ] OF COURSE, RED BULL GIVES YOU
WINGS, WHICH IS WHY TODAY SPIRIT AIRLINES WAS POURING IT ALL OVER THEIR PLANES.
[ LAUGHTER ] I THINK I SEE SOMEONE -- ONE SPROUTING, YES.
SOME MORE BUSINESS NEWS, APPLE JUST RELEASED A NEW SHAKING FACE EMOJI.
HERE IT IS.
WHO ATE A DUNCAN DONUTS TACO AND WASHED IT DOWN WITH A RED BULL.
[ LAUGHTER ] GUYS, SWITCHING GEARS, NOT MANY PEOPLE SAW THIS COMING.
THE TEAMS IN THIS YEAR'S FINAL FOUR ARE MIAMI, FLORIDA ATLANTIC, UCONN AND SAN DIEGO
STATE. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] REALLY?
THE ONLY WAY YOUR BRACKETS GOT THOSE FOUR TEAMS, IF YOU FILLED IT OUT THIS MORNING.
LET'S BE HONEST. [ LAUGHTER ] I'LL BE HONEST, I THINK TWO OF
THOSE TEAMS MIGHT JUST BE ONLINE UNIVERSITIES. [ LAUGHTER ]
CBS WAS LIKE, "JUST TO KEEP PEOPLE INTERESTED, YOU GUYS MIND WEARING THESE JERSEYS THAT
SAY 'DUKE' ON THE FRONT?" [ LAUGHTER ] WELL, GET THIS, A TRAVEL TOUR
COMPANY IS OFFERING A 56-DAY TRIP ACROSS EUROPE THAT IS BEING BILLED AS THE WORLD'S
LONGEST BUS JOURNEY. THE WORLD'S LONGEST BUS JOURNEY.
IT'S NOT GREAT WHEN YOUR MAIN SELLING POINT SOUNDS LIKE IT WAS RIPPED FROM A ONE-STAR
REVIEW. "WORLD'S LONGEST BUS TRIP." [ LAUGHTER ]
DO YOU GUYS KNOW THIS? APPARENTLY TODAY IS NATIONAL VIAGRA DAY.
[ AUDIENCE OOHS ] ** IT'S OKAY IF YOU DIDN'T
REMEMBER IT. IT ALWAYS JUST KIND OF POPS UP WITHOUT WARNING.
Steve: OH! [ LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE ] **
Jimmy: FINALLY, IT IS MONDAY. IT IS TIME FOR "WETWEET."
HERE WE GO, EVERYBODY.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] Jimmy: WELCOME TO "WETWEET." THIS IS WHERE WE, AS A GROUP,
DECIDE SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD POST ON TWITTER. I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU A SERIES
OF DIFFERENT TWEETS, AND WE'RE ALL GOING TO VOTE ON WHETHER YOU LIKE EACH ONE OR NOT.
YOU ALL HAVE VOTING CLICKERS AT YOUR SEATS. YOU CAN VOTE FOR ALL OF THEM.

"WETWEET" IT. [ CHEERS ] IT'S A SHARED EXPERIENCE.
ALL RIGHT, YOU GUYS READY FOR THIS? [ CHEERS ]
FIRST TWEET IS, "WHAT IS IT ABOUT GROCERY STORE FREE SAMPLES THAT MAKES ME SO
EXCITED ABOUT HALF A TORTILLA CHIP IN A PAPER CUP?" [ LAUGHTER ]
** IT'S LIKE, "OH!" Steve: OH!
Jimmy: AH, THAT'S -- I LIKE THAT. I'LL TAKE A BAG OF THOSE.
THAT'S FANTASTIC. HALF A CHIP? I COULDN'T DO ANYMORE.

FEELS LIKE THE CROWD VOTED ALREADY. Steve: YEAH.
Jimmy: THEY JUST KIND OF ALL JUST -- Steve: THEY VOTED WITH THEIR
LAUGHS. [ LAUGHTER ] Jimmy: YEAH, I FEEL LIKE

CAN DO STUFF. ** [ CHEERS ]

THE MUSIC THERE. I STILL SAY THIS IS PROBABLY 50-50 AGAIN.
Steve: YEAH, I THINK SO. Jimmy: YEAH, LET'S SEE THE RESULTS ON THIS ONE.
[ DRUMROLL ] ALL RIGHT, A LITTLE BIT BETTER, ALL RIGHT.
** A LITTLE REMINDER, THEY DON'T NECESSARILY GET BETTER.
[ LAUGHTER ] ALL RIGHT. NEXT ONE SAYS, "THE CIRCLE OF
LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL. WE CUT DOWN TREES TO MAKE PAPER, AND THEN THE PAPER CUTS
US BACK." [ LAUGHTER ] **
Steve: COME ON! Jimmy: IT'S A BEAUTIFUL THING.
YEAH, LOOK AT THAT! Steve: COME ON! Jimmy: THAT'S WHAT I'M
TALKING ABOUT. IT'S A PARTY TONIGHT. [ CHEERS ]
ALL RIGHT, LET'S SEE THE RESULTS HERE. WHAT DO WE THINK?

Jimmy: WOW. WHOA. Steve: WOW.
Jimmy: HARD TO TOP. 174 -- Steve: HARD TO TOP 174,
THAT'S PRETTY BIG. Jimmy: YEAH, THAT'S KIND OF -- THAT'S PRETTY HARD TO
TOP. YEAH, I THINK IT MIGHT BE THE ONE, BUT LET'S CHECK THIS ONE

FEEL TERRIFIED." [ LAUGHTER ] **

Steve: PAPER CUTS. CIRCLE OF LIFE. Jimmy: I DON'T KNOW IF THIS
ONE'S GOING TO TOP PAPER CUTS. Steve: REALLY? Jimmy: THIS ONE'S PRETTY
GOOD, THOUGH, BUT PAPER CUTS -- Steve: PRETTY -- YEAH, COME ON.
Jimmy: ALL RIGHT, HERE WE GO, LAST ONE. "THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF PEOPLE
IN THIS WORLD, THE ONES WHO STOP AT THE BLINKING 'DON'T WALK' HAND, AND THE OTHER ONES
WHO SCREAM, 'LET'S MAKE THIS!'" [ LAUGHTER ] **
COME ON, WE CAN DO IT! ** COME ON, GET THE KIDS, HOLD

YOU'RE A TALK-SHOW HOST, A GAME SHOW HOST, A CHILDREN'S BOOK AUTHOR.
LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION, ARE THINGS OKAY AT HOME? [ LAUGHTER ]
SERIOUSLY -- Jimmy: YES. I AM SO THRILLED TO SPEND MY
ONE NIGHT OFF TALKING TO YOU AND THEN PERFORMING LATER WITH LIL UZI VERT.
[ LAUGHTER ] Jimmy: WAIT -- BECAUSE, AS YOU KNOW, WE
ALWAYS TRAVEL TOGETHER BECAUSE I SING A LITTLE BACK-UP FOR LIL -- BUT JUST A LIL.
[ LAUGHTER ] Jimmy: JUST A LIL -- JUST A A LIL WITH LIL.
YEAH. Jimmy: YEAH, I WAS TRYING TO REMEMBER THE LAST TIME WE -- WE
SAW EACH OTHER. I BELIEVE THE LAST TIME WE HUNG OUT WAS NICK CANNON'S 40th
BABY SHOWER. [ LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE ] Jimmy: THAT'S EXACT --
THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT. NO, WAIT, NO, WAIT, I SAW YOU LAST WEEK -- YOU WERE OUT
PROTESTING TRUMP'S IMPENDING INDICTMENT. Jimmy: OH YEAH, THAT'S
RIGHT. YES, YOU HAD THAT -- YOU HAD THAT LOVELY TAILORED "LET'S GO,
BRANDON" T-SHIRT. [ LAUGHTER ] BUT SPEAKING OF TRUMP, YOU
KNOW, I WAS RECENTLY HIRED TO BECOME HIS NEW LEGAL ADVISOR. HEAR ME OUT.
[ LIGHT LAUGHTER ] YOU KNOW, THEY WERE LOOKING FOR A VERY FRIENDLY TV LAWYER AND
THEN THEY HEARD I HAD WON A A TONY AWARD FOR PLAYING TRUMP'S FAVORITE LAWYER,
ROY COHN IN "ANGELS IN AMERICA." SO THEY THOUGHT I'D BE PERFECT.
THAT, AND EVERYBODY ELSE SAID, "NOT A CHANCE IN HELL." [ LAUGHTER ]
Jimmy: BUT YOU -- DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE LAW? NO, BUT NEITHER DOES
RUDY GIULIANI, SO WHAT DOES IT MATTER? [ LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE ]
LOOK -- BELIEVE ME, I TRIED TO SAY NO, BUT MY GOODNESS THAT MAR-A-LAGO HAS ONE HELL OF A
A WAFFLE BAR. Jimmy: OH, IS THAT RIGHT? [ LAUGHTER ]
YEAH. AND LOOK, IT'S NOT TOO BAD WORKING FOR TRUMP.
ALTHOUGH, OCCASIONALLY, I DO HAVE TO JIGGLE SOME KEYS IN HIS FACE LIKE A CAT TO GET HIS
ATTENTION. Jimmy: YEAH, OF COURSE. I FEEL SORRY FOR HIM
ACTUALLY, BECAUSE YOU KNOW, JUST BEFORE THE AUTHORITIES BUSTED IN, MELANIA TURNED TO
HIM AND SAID, "YOU KNOW WHAT? I'M FINALLY IN THE MOOD." [ LAUGHTER ]
Jimmy: WHAT A BUMMER. IT'S NOT LOOKING GOOD FOR TRUMP.
SO, I'VE ALREADY ASKED TO BORROW HARVEY WEINSTEIN'S SYMPATHY WALKER --
[ LAUGHTER ] AND -- I'M GIVING HIM SOME -- SOME PRISON -- SOME PRISON
SURVIVAL TIPS, BECAUSE, AS YOU KNOW, I DID A STINT IN RYKER'S IN THE '80s FOR STEALING A
A FRENCH BAGUETTE FOR A BIG FONDU PARTY. [ LAUGHTER ]
Jimmy: OH, MY GOODNESS. HEY, BUT I'M REALLY FEELING LIKE TRUMP'S LAWYER.

WHO COMES OUT -- WHO BRINGS IT LIKE YOU BRING IT? AND YOU'RE -- I'M HAPPY,
BECAUSE YOU'RE A BUSY, BUSY MAN. I'M SO BUSY.
Jimmy: YOU ARE. YOU -- ACTUALLY TOLD ME YOU'RE GOING TO ATTEND KING CHARLES'
CORONATION. OH, YEAH, CHUCK AND I GO WAY BACK.
[ LIGHT LAUGHTER ] Jimmy: CHUCK. BECAUSE WE WERE CHUMS AT THE
PEMBERLEY FINISHING SCHOOL FOR SOPHISTICATED BOYS. [ LAUGHTER ]
YES, I -- OH, YEAH, VERY HARD SCHOOL TO GET INTO. YOU KNOW --
[ LAUGHTER ] YOU KNOW, I -- I AM THRILLED ABOUT GOING THROUGH TO THE
CORONATION, BECAUSE I HAVEN'T BEEN IN BUCKINGHAM PALACE SINCE I WAS A REFEREE FOR ONE OF THE
QUEEN'S UNDERGROUND CORGI FIGHTS. Jimmy: OH, I'VE HEARD
ABOUT -- I'VE HEARD ABOUT THOSE. [ LIGHT LAUGHTER ]
OH, THOSE WERE BRUTAL. Jimmy: YEAH, I HEARD ABOUT THOSE.

BUILDING." [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] YES.
THANK YOU -- Jimmy: WELL-DESERVED. WELL, THANK YOU.
YES, I -- YES, I BECAME THE MOST EMMY-NOMINATED GUEST ACTOR IN HISTORY AND -- AND FINALLY
WON THE BIG BOY PRIMETIME EMMY. I -- TECHNICALLY IT'S NOT MY FIRST EMMY.
I DO HAVE TWO DAYTIME EMMYS, BUT AS YOU KNOW, THEY'RE FILLED WITH CHOCOLATE AND NOT TAKEN
QUITE AS SERIOUSLY. [ LAUGHTER ] BUT -- YOU KNOW -- AS YOU ALSO
KNOW BECAUSE YOU'VE BEATEN ME IN THIS CATEGORY, THEY GIVE OUT THE GUEST ACTOR AWARDS AT THE
CREATIVE ARTS CEREMONY THE WEEK BEFORE. AND HAVING LOST SIX TIMES, I --
I WAS HESITANT TO FLY ALL THE WAY TO LOS ANGELES AND LOSE AGAIN.
AND EVERYBODY TOLD ME, "DON'T GO" -- Jimmy: YEAH.
-- "WAIT AND SEE IF YOU WIN. AND IF YOU DO, YOU'LL BE INVITED TO THE REAL EMMYS, AND
THEY'LL INTRODUCE YOU AS THE GUEST ACTOR WINNER, AND YOU'LL GET TO PRESENT AN AWARD TO
SOMEONE WHO'S OBVIOUSLY MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOU, BECAUSE THEY'RE GETTING THEIR AWARD ON
TELEVISION. Jimmy: WOW! [ LAUGHTER ]
SO, I SAID, "YEAH, YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I'M GOING TO DO." SO I DIDN'T GO, I FINALLY WON
THE AWARD. THIS YEAR THEY DID AWAY WITH THAT TRADITION AND I WASN'T
INVITED TO THE CEREMONY. [ LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE ] Jimmy: YEAH, THAT'S THE
BEST. YEAH, SO MY -- MY EMMY WIN WAS A CLOSELY GUARDED SECRET
RIGHT UP THERE WITH RON DeSANTIS' ONLYFANS PASSWORD.
[ LAUGHTER ] Jimmy: YEAH. I WANT -- I WANTED TO TALK TO
YOU ABOUT THIS. YES. Jimmy: "PICTURES FROM HOME"
YOU'RE ON BROADWAY. OH, YES. Jimmy: OH, I MEAN -- GOSH,
YOU'RE THE BEST. THIS IS YOUR 25th PLAY? YES, IT'S MY -- FIVE MORE
AND I'M UP FOR PAROLE. [ LAUGHTER ] NO, THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL PLAY BY
SHARR WHITE CALLED "PICTURES FROM HOME." IT'S A VERY FUNNY, VERY MOVING
PLAY DIRECTED BY BARTLETT SHER AND STARRING THE BRILLIANT DANNY BURSTEIN AND
ZOE WANAMAKER. IT'S BASED ON THIS EXTRAORDINARY PHOTO MEMOIR BY
THE CELEBRATED PHOTOGRAPHER, LARRY SULTAN, WHO FOR A PERIOD OF TEN YEARS PHOTOGRAPHED HIS
PARENTS AND INTERVIEWED THEM, AND THE PLAY IS ABOUT THE LAST TWO YEARS OF THAT PROCESS.
AND THE AUDIENCES HAVE BEEN LOVING IT. I'M SURE YOU'LL COME SEE IT
ONCE MARTY SHORT TAKES OVER FOR ME. [ LAUGHTER ]
BUT AS YOU KNOW, IT'S -- YES, MY -- MY 25th BROADWAY PLAY. IT WAS WORTH IT JUST TO GET
THAT 10% DISCOUNT AT SARDI'S. [ LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE ] Jimmy: DID THEY GIVE YOU A
A 10%? YEAH, THEY DO. I WOULD PUT THE BRAKES ON AND
WORK LESS, BUT AS YOU KNOW, I HAVE A CRIPPLING GAMBLING ADDICTION.
Jimmy: OH. I BET ON CORGI FIGHTS. [ LAUGHTER ]
Jimmy: OH, YEAH, I KNOW -- RIGHT, I HEARD ABOUT THIS. YES.
Jimmy: NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT -- IF THIS WASN'T ENOUGH --
YES. Jimmy: YOU HAVE A FILM OPENING UP --
OH, YES. Jimmy: APRIL 21st IS A A BIG --
THIS IS BIG. Jimmy: "BEAU IS AFRAID," STARRING JOAQUIN PHOENIX.
YES. Jimmy: THEY JUST PUT THE -- THE POSTER ONLINE AND IT WENT
VIRAL ON TWITTER AND THE SOCIALS. YEAH.
Jimmy: PEOPLE ARE EXCITED ABOUT THIS MOVIE. OH -- LET ME JUST SAY,
"COCAINE BEAR" IT'S NOT. [ LAUGHTER ] Jimmy: WOW, YEAH YOU --
THANK YOU FOR CLEARING THAT UP. THIS IS MORE IN THE ARTHOUSE GENRE.
Jimmy: OH. IT IS -- IT IS -- A A MASTERFUL PIECE OF FILMMAKING
BY THE BRILLIANT ARI ASTER WHO GAVE US "HEREDITARY" AND "MIDSOMMAR."
Jimmy: THAT'S GREAT. ALSO FOR A24. AND --
Jimmy: HOW WAS JOAQUIN? I -- OH, JOAQUIN IS BRILLIANT.
Jimmy: YEAH, HE'S GREAT. YOU KNOW, HE'S -- HE'S JUST I THINK THE FINEST ACTOR
WORKING IN FILMS TODAY. AND I LIKE TO CALL IT THE JEWISH "EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE
ALL AT ONCE." [ LAUGHTER ] Jimmy: OH, WOW!
BECAUSE IT'S AN EPIC TALE OF GUILT AND CO-DEPENDENCY, STORY OF MY LIFE.
IT'S -- IT IS -- ONE MAN'S SURREAL, NIGHTMARE-ISH ODYSSEY TO GET HOME TO SEE HIS MOTHER.

A TAKE, YOU KNOW, HE WOULD SAY, "I CAN'T LOOK YOU DIRECTLY IN THE EYES, OR I'LL BREAK UP."

Jimmy: OF COURSE. YEAH, YEAH. YEAH, YEAH.
OH, THAT GUY. Jimmy: ON ROLLERSKATES OR SOMETHING, YEAH.
Jimmy: YEAH. YEAH, HE WALKS AROUND WITH A A SNAKE AROUND -- I KNOW THAT
DUDE. THE ATLANTIC SNAKE GUY, LENNY.
Jimmy: YEAH, HE'S ALWAYS THE GUY WALKING AROUND WITH A SNAKE Jimmy: I'VE NEVER SEEN
ANYONE EVER WALKING A GOAT. SO, YOU'RE, LIKE, THE FOURTH PERSON TO SAY THAT TO ME AND
I'M STARTING TO FEEL A LITTLE WEIRD ABOUT IT. Jimmy: DO YOU KNOW WHAT A
A GOAT LOOKS LIKE? IT'S BEEN DIFFERENT GOATS. Jimmy: NO, MAYBE YOU'RE
LOOKING AT A DOG AND YOU JUST DON'T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE. [ LAUGHTER ]
Jimmy: IT'S A DOG. IT'S TAKING OVER. Jimmy: YOU SAW A GOAT?

SIDE. Jimmy: WOW, NEW YORK HAS CHANGED, MAN.
YEAH. YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT. YEAH.
Jimmy: LAST TIME YOU WERE ON OUR SHOW, THANK YOU FOR PERFORMING.
YOU PERFORMED "BOYFRIEND" ON OUR SHOW. AND THAT WAS A MASSIVE, MASSIVE
HIT. OH, THANK YOU. Jimmy: SO, CONGRATS AND
THANKS FOR COMING ON THE SHOW AND DOING THAT. BUT I HEARD THAT --
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] NO, IT'S SO GOOD. BUT I HEARD A STORY YOU ALMOST
DIDN'T RELEASE AT ALL. YEAH. SO, "BOYFRIEND" WAS SOMETHING
THAT -- THAT CAME OUT OF, LIKE -- I HAD JUST DONE A SUPER SMALL BLACK BOX THEATER TOUR
WHERE I WAS JUST, SORT OF, YOU KNOW, MEETING MY FANS, TRAVELING AROUND, SORT OF,
LIKE, FIGURING OUT WHAT IT MEANS TO PERFORM LIVE. Jimmy: YEAH.
AND THEN WE ENDED. MY VOICE WAS SHOT. AND THE VERY NEXT DAY, MY LABEL
WAS LIKE, "YOU HAVE TO START WORKING ON YOUR ALBUM." SO, WE GOT INTO THE STUDIO
IMMEDIATELY. AND WE WROTE "BOYFRIEND" IN, LIKE, TWO HOURS, AND I WAS
LIKE, "THIS IS BAD." I RECORDED IT IN, LIKE, 20 MINUTES.
AND WE JUST PUT IT AWAY. I DIDN'T REALLY THINK ANYTHING OF IT.
AND THEN -- AND THEN, YEAH, IT TURNED OUT TO BE, LIKE, THE THING THAT, KIND OF, GAVE ME A,
SORT OF, SURPRISE SECOND CAREER. Jimmy: YEAH.
WELL, DID YOU -- HOW DID YOU RELEASE IT? LIKE, DID YOU PUT IT ON TIKTOK
OR SOMETHING? YEAH, SO -- SO MY LABEL AT THAT TIME --
Jimmy: NO, I'M SERIOUS. [ LAUGHTER ] YEAH.
SO, MY LABEL AT THE TIME SAID, YOU KNOW, "THIS IS -- THIS IS WHAT PEOPLE DO NOW.
YOU HAVE TO LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT YOU'RE MAKING MUSIC." Jimmy: SURE.
"AND JUST DO THE DUE DILIGENCE AND, LIKE, PUT IT ON TIKTOK."
AND I WAS LIKE, "I'M SO BAD AT TIKTOK." LIKE, "YOU REALLY WANT ME
TO -- AND SO, I -- I THREW IT UP FOR NINE SECONDS OR SOMETHING.
AND THEN WENT TO SLEEP AND I WOKE UP THE NEXT DAY. AND EVERYBODY WAS LIKE, "YOU
HAVE TO CHECK YOUR PHONE." YEAH. Jimmy: I MEAN, IT'S A SMASH,
PAL. THANKS. Jimmy: CONGRATULATIONS.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. Jimmy: NOW, OF COURSE, I
WANT YOU TO ENJOY THIS MOMENT, BUT OF COURSE, EVERYONE'S GOING TO ASK.
ARE YOU WORKING ON SOMETHING ELSE? ARE YOU WORKING ON A NEW ALBUM?
YES, SO I'M -- I'M ACTUALLY WORKING ON A DEBUT ALBUM PRETTY MUCH EVERYDAY NOW, WHICH I'M
VERY, VERY EXCITED ABOUT. Jimmy: ARE YOU CLOSER AND CLOSER?
YEAH, I THINK -- THE WHOLE KIND OF -- THE IDEA IS THAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO WRITE, LIKE,
100. CHOOSE YOUR FAVORITE 60. GET IT DOWN TO THE BEST 40.
Jimmy: WHAT? I MEAN, YEAH, YOU -- Jimmy: 100 SONGS?
AND THAT -- THOSE DON'T ALL HAVE TO BE SONGS THAT YOU LIKE. [ LAUGHTER ]
WHICH IS, LIKE, KIND OF, A A TASK. Jimmy: HOLY MACKEREL.
SO, YOU WRITE -- YOU'RE -- HOW MANY SONGS HAVE YOU WRITTEN SO FAR?
OH, I MEAN, CLOSE TO THAT. DEFINITELY. Jimmy: ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
YEAH. Jimmy: OH, MY GOSH. JUST WRITE EVERYDAY.
THAT'S, KIND OF, THE JOB IS YOU JUST GO INTO THE STUDIO AND YOU JUST KNOW IT'S THE GRAND STORM,
WRITE EVERYDAY. Jimmy: WHAT'S THE LAST SONG YOU DID?
CAN YOU SAY IT? ARE YOU DOING ANYTHING WITH IT? I'M NOT GOING TO TELL YOU
RIGHT NOW. Jimmy: COME ON. [ LAUGHTER ]
NO ONE'S -- NO ONE'S LISTENING. NO, I'M GOING TO -- I'M ONLY GOING TO TELL THEM.
YEAH. Jimmy: YEAH. [ LAUGHTER ]
YOU CAN'T KNOW, BUT WE GOT YA. Jimmy: WHO -- ANY SPECIAL
GUEST STARS? HONESTLY, THERE WILL BE -- I THINK THERE WILL BE A FEW
SURPRISE GUEST STARS ON THE ALBUM. BUT MY -- MY NEXT SINGLE THAT

Jimmy: NOW WE'RE -- NOW WE'RE TALKING. YEAH.
Jimmy: THAT'S FANTASTIC. I'M REALLY EXCITED. Jimmy: LAST TIME YOU WERE
HERE -- NOT ONLY ARE YOU A A GREAT ACTOR AND SINGER, BUT I HAD YOU DO VOICES OF MINIONS.
[ LIGHT LAUGHTER ] LAST TIME YOU WERE HERE, YOU DID AN AMAZING SPOT-ON
IMPRESSION OF THE MINIONS. OH, THANK YOU. Jimmy: COULD YOU DO IT
AGAIN? [ LAUGHTER ] THIS -- THIS IS WHY YOU
ASKED ME BACK? Jimmy: YES. YEAH, I KNOW.
Jimmy: I LOVED IT. I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN WAITING TO GET TO ONE PART.
Jimmy: I JUST LOVED IT. I WON'T EVEN LOOK AT YOU. JUST DO IT.
OKAY, I CAN'T LOOK -- I CAN'T LOOK AT ANYBODY -- "BAH, BAH, BAH, BAH.
POTATO." [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] **
Jimmy: I LOVE THAT YOU DO THAT. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT. IS THERE ANY OTHER IMPRESSIONS THAT YOU CAN DO ON MY SHOW?
I CAN PROBABLY DO ONLY THE IMPRESSIONS THAT SOUND VERY AKIN TO THE MINIONS.
Jimmy: YEAH, LIKE WHAT -- LIKE WHAT? LIKE, I FEEL LIKE -- LIKE A
A "TOY STORY" ALIEN IS, LIKE, RIGHT IN THAT SAME LANE. Jimmy: YEAH, BUT YOU KNEW
THAT. BUT IT'S, LIKE, THE SAME -- GIVING THEM -- YOU'RE GOING TO
SAY IT'S THE SAME BECAUSE IT'S THE SAME. Jimmy: RIGHT.

MICHAEL KEY AND CECILY STRONG ARE -- Jimmy: SO GREAT.
-- SO BRILLIANT. Jimmy: YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. YEAH.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] BRILLIANT. THEY HAVE -- THEY HAVE ESCAPED
THE WORLD OF SCHMIGADOON. THEY'VE RETURNED BACK TO NEW YORK CITY, AND THEY'VE
REALIZED THAT THEY -- THEY FEEL LIKE THEY'RE MISSING A LITTLE BIT OF MAGIC IN THEIR LIFE.
AND THEY'VE BOTH, KIND OF, AT THE SAME TIME DECIDE, "WHAT IF WE TRY TO GO BACK AND WE TRY TO
GET BACK INTO SCHMIGADOON? JUST FOR, LIKE, A LITTLE, KIND OF, LIKE, QUICK PICK ME UP."
Jimmy: YEAH. YEAH, YOU KNOW. Jimmy: OF COURSE.
RELATABLE. AND -- AND SO, THEY GO BACK INTO THE WOODS DRESSED IN
SCHMIGADOON ATTIRE TO KIND OF TRY TO FIND THE MAGIC AGAIN. AND THEY FIND THEMSELVES IN A
A VERY DIFFERENT DIMENSION OF MUSICALS THAT ARE MUCH DARKER, SORT OF SEXIER -- GIGGLING --
YOU KNOW, ABSYNTH FILLED, AND ADVENTURE ENSUES. Jimmy: YEAH.
I WANT TO SHOW EVERYONE A CLIP. HERE'S DOVE CAMERON IN SEASON TWO OF "SCHMIGADOON!"
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.
I JUST KNOW IT. AND THEY HAVE THE MOST SPECTACULAR OF PEOPLE AND
SEEING AS I'M QUITE LITERALLY NEVER WRONG, MADAM FRAU SAYS IT'S BECAUSE I'M AN OLD SOUL.
AND SHE SHOULD KNOW. I MEAN, SHE'S PRACTICALLY FIFT OF THE OLD BAD LAGS.
50 IS NOT THAT OLD. HOW LONG DO YOU PLAN ON STAYING?
I HOPE IT'S TIME WE LONG. WE ARE -- WE ARE NOT SURE. OH, NO.
BUT YOU SIMPLY MUST STAY FOREVER. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THE MOST
MARVELOUS TIME TOGETHER WITH THREE OF US. IN FACT, YOU MUST COME TO SEE
ME PERFORM AT THE CLUB TONIGHT. I HAVE A BRAND-NEW NUMBER. IT'S GOING TO BE JUST FABULOUS.
