ASKS, "HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THAT DAY?" PALTROW SAYS, "A RECKLESS
70-YEAR-OLD NEARLY KILLED ME." [ LAUGHTER ] PENCE SAYS, "A RECKLESS

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] NEXT UP, WHEN ASKED, "WHAT DID YOU SAY WHEN IT HAPPENED?"
PALTROW SAID, "I SCREAMED THE F-WORD." PENCE SAYS, "I SCREAMED THE
F-WORD, FIDDLESTICKS." [ LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE ] AND FINALLY, WHEN ASKED, "HAVE
YOU SPOKEN TO THE MAN YOU CLAIM IS RESPONSIBLE?" PALTROW SAID, "NO, MY LAWYER
ADVISED AGAINST IT." PENCE SAID, "NO, WE HAD A A CONSCIOUS UNCOUPLING."
OH, THERE-- [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] I BELIEVE HIM.

Jimmy: WELCOME BACK TO THE SHOW. YOU'RE ALWAYS GREAT TO US, TOO.
YOU KNOW, THAT IS THE TENTH TIME WE'VE DONE THOSE-- IT'S CRAZY.
Jimmy: THOSE "FIRST DRAFTS." THAT WE'VE DONE THAT TEN TIMES.
I KNOW. Jimmy: "THE FIRST DRAFTS OF ROCK AND ROLL."
THE FIRST ONE WE DID. I'VE GOT A LIST HERE. WHAT WAS IT?
Jimmy: IT WAS "FUN, FUN, FUN." "FUN, FUN, FUN," BEACH BOYS.
Jimmy: BUT OURS WAS ABOUT-- HAMBURGERS. HAMBURGER STAND.
Jimmy: YEAH, THEY WERE OBSESSED TO BE SINGING ABOUT HAMBURGERS.
♪ HAMBURGER STAND NOW ♪ [ LAUGHTER ] YOU KNOW WHAT?
THE BEACH BOYS LIKED THAT AND THEY USED OUR VIDEO TO START THEIR CONCERT
YOU KNOW, I HEARD THAT. THAT WAS THE CRAZIEST THING. Jimmy: WE LOVE YOU.
I LOVE THAT WAS THE COOLEST THING EVER. YEAH, IT WAS A LIVE BEACH
BOYS SHOW. Jimmy: WE DID THAT ONE. WE DID "FREE FALLIN,'"
TOM PETTY. THAT WAS ABOUT HORSES, RIGHT? RIGHT.
Jimmy: YOU WERE OBSESSED WITH HORSES. YES, HORSES.
Jimmy: "LEGS" WE DID WITH CHRIS STAPLETON. YEAH, THAT WAS AMAZING.
Jimmy: "BLOWIN' IN THE WIND" WITH KYRA SEDGWICK. WITH KYRA, YEAH.
PETER, PAUL, AND MARY. SHE WAS MARY. Jimmy: IT WAS QUESTIONS.
THEY JUST KEPT ASKING WEIRD QUESTIONS. ♪ HOW MUCH WOOD WOULD
A WOODCHUCK CHUCK ♪ [ LAUGHTER ] Jimmy: SONGS THAT AREN'T THE
LYRICS TO "BLOWIN' IN THE WIND." WE DID SO MANY FUN ONES.
LISTEN, IT'S SO FUN FOR ME BECAUSE IT'S LIKE, YOU KNOW, I GREW UP WITH THESE KIND OF
ICONIC PERFORMERS. AND JUST TO BE ABLE TO GET OUT AND MAKE AN IDIOT OUT OF
MYSELF-- Jimmy: NO, IT'S NOT THAT AT ALL.
IT'S SO COOL. YOU CAN DO IT. I FEEL BAD ABOUT THE
MICK JAGGER THING, ONLY BECAUSE AS FAR AS I KNOW, MICK'S-- I HAVE THIS MUSTACHE, WHICH I
HAVE TO HAVE A FOR A PART. BUT I DON'T THINK MICK'S EVER HAD A MUSTACHE SO, APOLOGIES.
IF YOU'RE NOT ALREADY UPSET ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE I DID. [ LAUGHTER ]
Jimmy: JUST THE MUSTACHE. "I DIDN'T LIKE THAT YOU HAD A A MUSTACHE.
THAT WAS TERRIBLE." [ LAUGHTER ] BUT, YOU KNOW IT'S GREAT TO DO
IT WITH YOU, BECAUSE YOU GET IT AND YOU GET THE JOKES. AND YOU GO, "I KNOW HOW TO DO
IT." AND IT'S SO MUCH FUN. LAST TIME YOU WERE HERE, BY THE
WAY, YOU WERE HERE WITH OLD 97'S. YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
Jimmy: AND YOU DID A SONG OFF "THE GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY HOLIDAY SPECIAL."
YES, YES. AND YOU WERE VERY NICE TO LET US SING THAT SONG.
I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH WRITING THE SONG, BUT JAMES GUNN WAS FRIENDS WITH THE
BAND. AND IT WAS REALLY, REALLY FUN FOR THE BAND, AND FUN FOR ME,
TO COME ON AND DO IT. Jimmy: IT WAS CALLED "HERE IT IS CHRISTMAS TIME" AND THE
SONG ENDED UP CHARTING ON THE BILLBOARD CHARTS. I KNOW.
Jimmy: DUDE, COME ON. HOW FUN IS THAT? [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
I KNOW, I KNOW. AND THAT'S THANKS TO YOU. Jimmy: NO, NO, NO.
SO MAYBE WE CAN GET THE "PAINT IT BLACK" ON THE CHARTS. [ LAUGHTER ]
Jimmy: EVERYONE REQUEST ROLLING STONES THIS WEEKEND AT YOUR RADIO STATIONS.
GET THEM BACK ON THE CHARTS. HOW IS JAMES GUNN BY THE WAY? I LIKE THAT GUY.
JAMES IS AWESOME. HE'S AWESOME. HE GAVE ME A GIG A LONG, LONG
TIME AGO. AND I GOT A CALL AT THE LAST MINUTE.
HE WAS DOING A TINY LITTLE MOVIE IN SHREVEPORT, LOUISIANA, CALLED "SUPER."
AND THERE WAS A PART OF A KIND OF BAD GUY. AND JEAN-CLAUDE VAN DAMME FELL
OUT AT LIKE THE LAST MINUTE. NOW, FAR BE IT FOR ME TO TURN DOWN JEAN-CLAUDE VAN DAMME'S
SLOPPY SECONDS. [ LAUGHTER ] Jimmy: YOU GUYS ARE ALWAYS
UP FOR THE SAME PART. ALWAYS, ALWAYS. [ LAUGHTER ]
IT'S ALWAYS BETWEEN US. Jimmy: YEAH, YOU AND JEAN-CLAUDE.
AND SO I SAID, "SURE." WE DIDN'T REALLY EVEN KNOW EACH OTHER AND WENT DOWN TO
LOUISIANA AND DID THIS LITTLE PART. AND I HAD A BLAST.
AND THEN HIS NEXT MOVIE, AFTER THIS TINY LITTLE INDIE, WAS "GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY ONE."
AND THEN IT KIND OF CIRCLED BACK. AND I GUESS I DID HIM A SOLID.
SO HE DID ME A SOLID. Jimmy: HE'S A GOOD DUDE. I'D LIKE TO MEET HIM.
BUT I LIKE THAT-- I LIKE ALSO THAT I THINK HE GETS IT. IF SOMEBODY GOES, "WE WANT A
A DIRECTION, WHICH WAY--" HE MAKES A DECISION AND GOES WITH IT.
AND THEY GO, "OH, NO, WE CAN'T DO THAT." HE GOES, "YEAH, WE CAN DO
THAT." AND THEN MAKES IT LOOK GOOD AND IT'S FUNNY.
HE HAS A GOOD SENSE OF HUMOR. HE'S GOT A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR.
Jimmy: SHARP GUY. I FOLLOW YOU ON SOCIAL MEDIAS. YOU'RE A GREAT FOLLOW, BY THE
WAY. REALLY, YOU REALLY ARE. I LOVE FOLLOWING YOU.
YOU SING TO YOUR GOATS. YES, I DO. [ LAUGHTER ]
Jimmy: YOU HAVE-- IS IT BLUES? IS IT BLUES MONDAYS?
YEAH, MONDAY BLUES. Jimmy: MONDAY BLUES. I LOVE THAT.
I'M A FAN OF THAT AS WELL. YOU'RE GOOD ON THE SOCIALS. YEAH, I KIND OF STARTED-- I
ALWAYS MAKE-- I'VE ALWAYS BEEN MAKING CONTENT SORT OF JUST FOR THE FAMILY TO SEE.
I LIKE DOING LITTLE MOVIES, AND I'VE BEEN DOING THAT FOR YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS, LONG
BEFORE SOCIAL MEDIA. BUT IT WAS ALWAYS JUST KIND OF IN HOUSE, JUST SOMETHING TO
STAY CREATIVE AND TO KEEP-- YOU KNOW, I'M LIKE A PERSON THAT LIKES TO WAKE UP AND DO
SOMETHING, YOU KNOW. WRITE A SONG OR DO SOMETHING. Jimmy: YEAH.
SO, THIS WAS, LIKE, A GOOD OUTLET FOR ME, CERTAINLY DURING THE PANDEMIC.
Jimmy: THE ONE YOU DID WITH YOUR DAUGHTER, SOSIE, YOU DID "MADE YOU LOOK,"
MEGHAN TRAINOR. RIGHT. Jimmy: WHOSE IDEA WAS THAT?
THAT WAS SOSIE'S IDEA. I DIDN'T COME UP WITH THAT ONE. SHE SAID, "YOU'VE GOT TO WATCH
THIS THING. IT'S THIS DANCE." I LOOKED AT IT AND I WENT,
"THAT LOOKS REALLY HARD." AND IT WAS. Jimmy: THAT'S THE TRICK
ABOUT TIKTOK. IT ACTUALLY IS HARD. BY THE WAY, I SAID "HONEY, I
DON'T KNOW IF I CAN LEARN THIS." I KNOW I PLAYED-- YOU KNOW, I
DANCED IN A MOVIE, BUT THAT'S NOT-- Jimmy: ARE YOU KIDDING?
YOU WERE IN "FOOTLOOSE." YOU DANCED PRETTY AWESOMELY. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
IT'S NOT REALLY MY STRONG SUIT. AND THEN SHE STARTED SENDING ME
ALL THESE, WHICH I NEVER KNEW EXISTED, TUTORIALS ON TIKTOK, ON HOW TO DO THE DANCE.
SO, IT'S LIKE SLOWED DOWN-- YEAH, SO I SPENT HOURS ON THAT. SHE LEARNED IT IN, LIKE, FIVE
MINUTES. THE LAST TIME I'VE WORKED THAT HARD, NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT
IT, ON A DANCE WAS WHEN YOU ASKED ME TO COME IN AND RECREATE THE "FOOTLOOSE" DANCE
ON THIS SHOW. Jimmy: I MAKE YOU WORK SO HARD WHEN YOU COME ON THE SHOW.
I'M SO SORRY. IT'S NOT AN EASY GIG. Jimmy: NO, IT'S NOT AN EASY
GIG COMING ON "THE TONIGHT SHOW." BUT I WANT TO SHOW EVERYONE YOU
AND SOSIE. CHECK OUT KEVIN BACON AND HIS DAUGHTER.
♪ I MADE YOU LOOK YEAH I LOOK GOOD IN MY VERSACE JEANS BUT I'M
HOTTER WHEN MY MORNING ♪ ♪ HAIR'S A MESS BUT EVEN WITH MY HOODIE ON
BUT I MADE YOU LOOK I MADE YOU LOOK ♪ [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
Jimmy: NAILED IT! SOSIE NAILED IT TOO, BY THE WAY.
I MEAN, SHE'S A GREAT DANCER. IT'S VERY EASY FOR HER.
Jimmy: SHE'S A PRO. THE WHOLE FAMILY IS JUST TALENTED AND ENTERTAINING.
WE LIKE TO DO THINGS, PLAY MUSIC, WORK TOGETHER. MY SON, TRAVIS, SCORED THE
MOVIE THAT MY WIFE DIRECTED ME IN. WE'RE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR THINGS
TO WORK ON TOGETHER. HE'S PRODUCED A COUPLE OF TRACKS FOR ME FOR BACON
BROTHERS. Jimmy: OH, MY GOD. SOSIE AND I HAVE WORKED
TOGETHER. KYRA HAS DIRECTED ME. Jimmy: I JUST SAW YOU GUYS
IN A COMMERCIAL. YEAH, WE DID THE HYUNDAI COMMERCIAL.
Jimmy: HYUNDAI ELECTRIC CAR. IT WAS UNBELIEVABLE. YOU GUYS WORK GREAT TOGETHER.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] THE THING THAT'S FUNNY ABOUT THIS PICTURE IS THAT THE
COMMERCIAL IS KIND OF BASED ON THE FACT THAT NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO, IF YOU THINK YOU'RE
COOL, YOU'RE GOING TO EMBARRASS YOUR KIDS. [ LAUGHTER ]
I MEAN, THAT'S JUST PART OF BEING A PARENT. AND I ACTUALLY KIND OF LIKE IT.
I SORT OF LIKE IT WHEN MY KIDS ARE EMBARRASSED BY ME. AND SO THAT'S BASICALLY THE--
THAT'S THE ESSENCE OF THAT COMMERCIAL. Jimmy: YEAH, IT CRUSHED.
LET'S TALK ABOUT "SPACE ODDITY" THOUGH. THIS IS A NEW MOVIE DIRECTED BY
THE VERY TALENTED KYRA SEDGWICK. YES.
Jimmy: THIS IS THE DEBUT. LOOK AT THE COVER OF "PEOPLE" MAGAZINE RIGHT NOW.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] MARRIED 35 YEARS. 35 YEARS, YEP, YEP.
Jimmy: WOW. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] 35 YEARS.
OR IS IT 35? MAYBE IT'S 35 IN SEPTEMBER. I DON'T KNOW.
Jimmy: OH MY GOD. YOU'RE GOING TO GET IN TROUBLE. IT'S ON THE COVER.
IT SAYS 35. ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW WHAT I JUST REALIZED?
IS THAT WHEN I WAS PLAYING MICK, I TOOK MY WEDDING RING OFF.
SO I BETTER SLAP THIS BABY BACK ON. [ AUDIENCE OOHS ]
Jimmy: YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. KYRA!
YOU BETTER. BEFORE I START GETTING SOME CALLS.
[ LAUGHTER ] Jimmy: YOU'RE KEVIN BACON. YOU'RE PRETTY AWESOME, BUT
BEING DIRECTED BY YOUR WIFE IN A MOVIE? IS IT TESTING?
LISTEN. WE HAVE A GREAT SHORTHAND. THERE'S A LOT OF THAT STUFF, I
THINK, WHEN PEOPLE LOOK AT HUSBAND AND WIFE AND THEY GO, "OH, YOU'RE GOING TO BE
DIRECTED BY YOUR WIFE, HUH?" IT'S SOMETHING SLIGHTLY, I DON'T KNOW, JUST KIND OF
MISOGYNISTIC ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT'S LIKE, "HEY, WHO WEARS THE PANTS?"
IT'S KIND OF LIKE, "SHE'S GOING TO TELL YOU WHERE TO MOVE?" BUT I DON'T REALLY FEEL THAT
WAY. I MEAN, SHE'S A GREAT DIRECTOR. SHE DOESN'T GIVE ME A WHOLE TON
OF NOTES, WHICH I HAVE TO SAY I'M NOT-- I DON'T REALLY LIKE NOTES THAT MUCH IF I'M BEING--
IT'S NOT THAT I DON'T LIKE-- THE DIRECTORS OUT THERE ARE GOING, "LET'S TAKE THIS GUY OFF
THE LIST." [ LAUGHTER ] Jimmy: NO, NO, NO.
I MEAN, I DO A LOT OF HOMEWORK, SO I COME IN WITH A A REAL IDEA ABOUT WHAT IT
SHOULD BE. AND, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU SEE THE DIRECTOR KIND OF WALK OVER TO
YOU, YOU KNOW THAT IT WASN'T PERFECT. Jimmy: THERE'S A LITTLE NOTE
SOMEWHERE. "THAT WAS GREAT, KEVIN. CAN WE JUST TALK FOR A LITTLE
BIT?" YEAH, YEAH. SO, YOU KNOW, BUT SHE WOULD
GIVE ME, YOU KNOW, REALLY GOOD NOTES. I DO REMEMBER THOUGH, THERE WAS
ONE LINE WHERE I HAD-- AND I'M GOING TO TELL YOU WHAT THE LINE IS.
THE LINE IS, "OKAY." THAT'S THE WHOLE LINE, OKAY? THAT IS THE WHOLE LINE.
Jimmy: ACTING IS HARD, YOU GUYS. [ LAUGHTER ]
RIGHT. Jimmy: "OKAY" WAS THE LINE? IT'S A TWO-SYLLABLE LINE.
AND ON THE DAY WE WERE SHOOTING IT, AND IN HER MIND, SHE HAD SOME OTHER IDEA, AND IT WASN'T
WHAT I WAS DELIVERING. AND TAKE AFTER TAKE AFTER TAKE. SHE SAID, "THAT'S GOOD, THAT'S
GOOD. YOU WERE GREAT IN THE SCENE. YOU WERE GREAT IN THE SCENE.
KEV, OKAY, IT'S LIKE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M-- YOU WANT TO SAY--"
Jimmy: MY GOD. AND FINALLY, I GOT TO THE POINT WHERE I WAS LIKE, JUST
GIVE ME A LINE READING. IT'S COOL. Jimmy: JUST TELL ME HOW YOU
WANT KNOW SAY IT. AND SHE TOLD ME EXACTLY HOW SHE SAID IT, AND IN MY MIND, I
SAID IT EXACTLY HOW SHE WANTED ME TO SAY IT. [ LAUGHTER ]
AND SHE WAS LIKE, "YEAH, I THINK WE GOT IT." Jimmy: OH, MY GOSH.
THAT'S HILARIOUS. I THINK WE GOT IT. AND THEN CUT TO, YOU KNOW,
SOMETIMES IF YOU HAVE SOUND THAT DOESN'T WORK OUT ON A A MOVIE, YOU HAVE TO DO THIS
THING CALLED ADR, AUTOMATED DIALOGUE REPLACEMENT, OR LOOPING.
WHICH MEANS YOU GO ONTO A SOUND STAGE AND YOU LOOK AT THE LINES THAT HAVE BEEN SET AND YOU
REPEAT THEM. AND IT'S USUALLY BECAUSE THERE WAS AN AIRPLANE, OR SOMEBODY'S
PHONE WENT OFF, OR THERE WAS SOME KIND OF PROBLEM WITH THE-- YOU KNOW, TECHNICAL
PROBLEM. Jimmy: YEAH. AND I GET TO MY LOOPING AND
HERE'S MY LIST OF LINES, AND "OKAY" IS ON THERE. [ LAUGHTER ]
Jimmy: "THIS BETTER NOT BE THAT 'OKAY' BECAUSE I GAVE YOU THE BEST 'OKAY' I COULD GIVE
YOU." EXACTLY. I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THERE
WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE SOUND. SO SURE ENOUGH, THERE WE ARE, TAKE AFTER TAKE AFTER TAKE.
I'M ON A LOOPING STAGE. "
OKAY. OKAY. OKAY.
OKAY." FINALLY, I'M LIKE, OKAY. WHY DON'T YOU GET
DANIEL DAY-LEWIS? [ LAUGHTER ] I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO TELL YOU.
Jimmy: CAN WE TALK ABOUT-- WHAT IS THE MOVIE? "SPACE ODDITY."
WHAT CAN WE SAY THE MOVIE IS ABOUT? IT'S ABOUT A FAMILY THAT
WORKS ON A FLOWER FARM-- RUNS A FLOWER FARM. AND A YOUNG MAN WHO IS PART OF
THAT FAMILY WHO HAS DECIDED THAT HE WANTS TO GO TO MARS, A A ONE-WAY TRIP TO MARS.
AND IN THE COURSE OF THAT DECISION, IT HAS A TREMENDOUS IMPACT ON THE FAMILY.
YOU FIND OUT THERE'S SOME DARK STUFF THAT'S HAPPENED IN THE PAST THAT THE FAMILY, THEY'RE
NOT DEALING WITH. AND HE FALLS IN LOVE. AND IT'S REALLY ABOUT LEARNING
TO LOVE THIS PLACE AND TAKE CARE OF THIS PLANET THAT WE HAVE HERE BECAUSE THERE IS NO
PLANET B. Jimmy: YEAH, EXACTLY. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
THERE IS NO PLANET B. Jimmy: I LOVED IT. I LOVED THAT YOU WERE A FLOWER
FARMER. DID YOU DO ANY RESEARCH, METHOD ACTING?
OH, YEAH. OH, YEAH, I ALWAYS DO. YOU KNOW, YOU DO THE RIDE
ALONG. RIGHT, YOU'RE PLAYING A COP. I'VE HUNG OUT WITH MARINES AND
ASTRONAUTS. I'VE GONE TO THE SHOOTING RANGE.
YOU GO UP, YOU DRIVE-- IT'S A A RIDE ALONG, YOU HAVE TO. Jimmy: YOU DID A RIDE ALONG
WITH A FLOWER-- I DID A RIDE ALONG ON A A FLOWER FARM, WHICH IS
INTERESTING BECAUSE BASICALLY YOU GO AND YOU CUT SOME FLOWERS.
Jimmy: YEAH, EXACTLY. AND YOU RIDE THE TRACTOR. I DID GET A TRACTOR LESSON,
YES. Jimmy: YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.
SEE? [ APPLAUSE ] BUT, HEY, LISTEN.
YOU KNOW, I DID A TRACTOR RACE IN A MOVIE IN ABOUT 1 1984 THAT INVOLVED DANCING IN A
A SMALL TOWN. AND ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THAT WAS AN ACTUAL TRACTOR
CHICKEN GAME. SO, IT WASN'T MY FIRST TIME ON A TRACTOR.
Jimmy: EXACTLY. NOT HIS FIRST TRACTOR RIDE. [ APPLAUSE ]
I WANT TO SHOW A CLIP. HERE'S KEVIN BACON IN "SPACE ODDITY."
TAKE A LOOK, EVERYBODY.
AND IF WE CONTINUE DOWN THAT PATH, THERE WILL BE NO FARMS LEFT.
WE'LL HAVE TO IMPORT EVEN MORE FROM HALFWAY AROUND THE GLOBE. WE'VE GOT A WHOLE LOT ON OUR
FARMS. THIS IS OUR SPOT. IT'S OUR LITTLE CORNER OF THE
WORLD. AND I'M NOT GIVING IT UP. Jimmy: COME ON.

THING. YOU KNOW, YOU DO SO MANY GREAT IMPRESSIONS.
YEAH. Jimmy: YOU WERE TELLING ME BACKSTAGE THAT YOU GOT CAST IN
A STEVEN SODERBERGH MOVIE. ABSOLUTELY. I GOT CAST IN A
STEVEN SODERBERGH MOVIE CALLED "UNSANE." IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT, CHECK

CLAP. YOU CAN CLAP. IT'S FINE.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] Jimmy: YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. A LITTLE CLAP.
IT'S A LITTLE CLAP. Jimmy: YOU CAN CLAP. CLAP.
SO, WHAT HAPPENED WAS MATT DAMON SHOWED STEVEN SODERBERGH MY
DENZEL WASHINGTON IMPRESSION. AND, YOU KNOW, SODERBERGH LOOKED AT IT, AND HE SAID,
"WELL, THAT'S GOOD. [ LIGHT LAUGHTER ] YEAH, I LIKE THAT."
SO, AFTER HE-- YEARS LATER, IT HAD TO-- IT WAS 2017, HE HIT ME UP ABOUT THIS MOVIE, AND HE
SAID, "I COULD TELL THAT YOU HAVE DRAMATIC CHOPS BY LOOKING AT YOU DOING THAT DENZEL
IMPRESSION. BECAUSE TO BE ABLE TO CAPTURE A A CHARACTER LIKE THAT, YOU HAVE
TO BE ABLE TO ACT LIKE SOMEBODY ELSE. AND THAT GOOD."
SO, OFF OF MY DENZEL IMPRESSION, "OFF THE DENZEL IMPRESSION, I BOOKED IT--
