IT'S BEEN A HELL OF A WEEK
IF THE COUNTRY WERE A RENTAL
CAR, TRUMP'S RETURNING IT WITH
AN EMPTY TANK AND A HUGE DENT.
[ LAUGHTER ]
"SHE'S ALL YOURS."
[ LAUGHTER ]
BUT TRUMP IS IN SOME SERIOUS
TROUBLE, IT'S SOUNDING LIKE.
NEXT WEEK, HE REALLY COULD BE
IMPEACHED, AGAIN

[ SCATTERED CHEERS ]
TRUMP --
TRUMP COULD BE THE FIRST

GET IMPEACHED TWICE.
[ LIGHT LAUGHTER ]
AND IF RUDY GIULIANI GETS
INVOLVED, HE COULD PROBABLY
SQUEEZE IN A THIRD

I MEAN -

NO ONE GETS IMPEACHED TWICE.
DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO
DO
IT'S BASICALLY OJ GETTING AWAY

TRUMP'S LIFE IS REALLY
HISTORIC

IMPEACHED TWICE, AND DIVORCED
THREE TIMES.

THE RESULTS.
A NEW ADMINISTRATION WILL BE
INAUGURATED ON JANUARY 20th.

A SMOOTH, ORDERLY, AND SEAMLESS

A BUNCH OF SOAKING-WET
DOCUMENTS TO PROVE HE CAN.

>> IT'S A MITSUBISHI
SO, YEAH, I'M NAMED AFTER
A CAR.

SHE WAS LIKE, "I'LL SETTLE FOR

>> Jimmy: I WANT TO TALK ABOUT
YOUR LATEST SINGLE "HOLIDAY.

ASKED TWITTER FOLLOWERS TO NAME
YOUR ALBUM
DID ANYTHING STICK
>> NOTHING STICK
I ACTUALLY DON'T REMEMBER ANY
OF THE NAMES THEY SAID
I THINK -- BECAUSE ALL OF MY
FOLLOWERS ARE TROLLS
SO IT'S PROBABLY JUST LIKE --
THEY WERE PROBABLY JUST
TROLLING ME BACK, HONESTLY
>> Jimmy: YEAH, AND THEY DIDN'T
TAKE IT SERIOUS.
I THINK THEY SHOULD.
LET'S SEE.
I'M TRYING TO THINK IF I CAN
NAME IT FOR YOU.
WELL, I MEAN, "MONTERO."
THAT'S ONE
>> YOU KNOW, THAT'S ACTUALLY A
A GREAT NAME
>> Jimmy: NOT BAD, RIGHT
>> I THINK I CAN USE THAT.

IDEA WHAT THE ALBUM WILL BE
CALLED, AT THIS POINT?

I HAVE NO IDEA

I WAS RESEARCHING, BEFORE THIS
INTERVIEW, AND I SAW THAT IT'S
ALMOST TO THE DAY SINCE YOUR
HUGE NIGHT AT THE GRAMMY'S
ASIDE FROM WINNING TWO GRAMMY'S
AND PERFORMING, WHAT WAS THE
MOST MEMORABLE PART OF THAT
NIGHT?

CLUB WITH LIZZO AFTER THE
GRAMMY'S

I THINK YOU GUYS HAD SOME GOOD
CHEMISTRY THERE.
LET'S TALK ABOUT YOUR BOOK
"C IS FOR COUNTRY.
I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THIS.
WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO DO -- DO
THIS BOOK?
>> I JUST REALLY WANTED ALL THE
KIDS' MONEY.
I'M KIDDING.
[ LAUGHTER ]
I WANTED TO -- I WANTED TO, YOU
KNOW, WITH "OLD TOWN ROAD"
HAVING SUCH A BIG SUCCESS AND
KIDS BEING A BIG PART OF
THAT -
>> Jimmy: YEAH

SO MUCH SENSE, WHEN THE IDEA TO
DO A BOOK WAS BROUGHT TO ME.
TO DO A CHILDREN'S BOOK AND
LIKE MAKE IT LIKE EDUCATIONAL
FOR THESE YOUNG KIDS
AND STILL HAVE, LIKE, YOU KNOW,
SOME POP-CULTURE REFERENCE
WITHIN IT.
YOU KNOW
>> Jimmy: YEAH
>> IT'S LIKE THE -- I FEEL LIKE
IT WOULD'VE EVEN MADE MORE
SENSE IF I JUST NAMED IT "OLD
TOWN ROAD.
BUT, YOU KNOW, PROBABLY GOT
LOST IN A LOT OF STUFF
>> Jimmy: WELL, "C IS FOR
COUNTRY" IS PERFECT.
IT WORKS
YOU GO THROUGH THE -- GO
THROUGH THE WHOLE ALPHABET
BUT I LIKE THE ILLUSTRATIONS AS

WE GOT LOVE FOR EVERYBODY, NO

YOU'RE FROM, OR WHAT YOU LOOK

I THINK, THE THING I LIKE ABOUT
YOU, EVERYONE LIKES ABOUT YOU,

SOMETIMES.

I WANT THIS TO HAPPEN.
THE BETTING ODDS, RIGHT NOW,
ARE AT 5-1
I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU THE --
THE STAGE HERE
IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WANT TO

>> I THINK THE INTERNET THINKS
A LOT OF THINGS.
AND THAT'S ONE OF THE MORE
PLEASANT ONES.
SO, I CAN BE PLEASED, AS FAR AS
THAT GOES.
>> Jimmy: YEAH, YEAH
>> BUT I THINK THERE MIGHT
BE -- THERE MIGHT BE AN ELEMENT
OF, LIKE, CULTURAL TRANSLATION
TO BE DONE HERE.
LIKE, IF YOU ARE A BRIT AND YOU
DO SOMETHING OF ANY KIND OF
RENOWNED THAT PEOPLE REGARD
WELL, THEN PEOPLE START SAYING
THE B-WORD
YOU KNOW, IT'S LIKE A MERIT
BADGE.
YOU GET THE B-WORD MERIT BADGE
BUT THAT'S -- I DON'T THINK
IT'S MUCH MORE THAN THAT
>> Jimmy: THAT IS SO FUNNY

I'M GLAD TO BE IN SUCH
WONDERFUL COMPANY OF PEOPLE WHO
HAVE THE BADGE
>> Jimmy: YEAH

WATCHED IT AND IT EXPLODED
IT IS AT THE PEAK OF POP
CULTURE.
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE IT, THIS

JANE AUSTEN MEETS "GOSSIP GIRL"
WITH, LIKE, 35 SHADES OF GRAY.

>> Jimmy: YEAH, THAT'S A
A PERFECT DESCRIPTION.
>> JUST LIKE 35.
>> Jimmy: THAT'S A PERFECT -
>> UM, YOU KNOW.
>> Jimmy: THINGS DO GET
A LITTLE STEAMY IN THE SHOW, TO
SAY THE LEAST.
>> YEAH, A TAD
A TOUCH.
>> Jimmy: DID YOU FEEL LIKE YOU
HAD TO GIVE YOUR FAMILY A HEADS
UP
>> YEAH.
TO BE FAIR, AT THIS POINT, YOU
CAN'T REALLY FAZE MY FAMILY.
IF YOU COME UP THROUGH THEATER,
LIKE THEY SEE STUFF --
>> Jimmy: YEAH
>> AND THEY KIND OF -- THEY --
THEY KIND OF DON'T EVEN BLINK,
ANYMORE.
BUT THERE ARE -- THERE ARE
WARNINGS
LIKE, THE FAMILY WHATSAPP GROUP
HAS, LIKE, RED, FLASHING
LIGHTS
IT'S LIKE EP-5
[ MIMICS EP-5 SOUND
>> Jimmy: YEAH, OKAY, VERY
GOOD
>> BUT YOU DON'T TEND TO REACH
EVERYONE, SOMETIMES.
WE MISSED ONE OF MY COUSINS AND
SHE SENT ME A MESSAGE JUST
LIKE, "I HAD TO MAKE SO MANY
TACTICAL CUPS OF TEA DURING
THIS SHOW.
>> Jimmy: THAT'S GREAT
OKAY, I CAN'T --
>> SO, SHE LIKE --
>> Jimmy: MAKING TEA
>> UH-HUH.
BUT THEN SHE'S LIKE, "AND THEN
I COME BACK AND YOU WERE STILL
GOING.
[ LAUGHTER ]
SO, I'D HAVE TO GO BACK AND PUT
THE KETTLE BACK ON."
AND SO, LIKE, MY FAMILY ARE
VERY, VERY STIMULATED AND
CAFFEINATED AT THIS POINT,
WHICH SOUNDS LIKE A DEADLY
COMBINATION.
>> Jimmy: THAT IS SO FUN
I MEAN, IT MUST BE FUN TO -- TO
SHOOT THAT SHOW.
I MEAN, A LOT OF WORK.
I WILL SAY, THE DANCING IS
FANTASTIC.
YOU GUYS -
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH
WE WORKED VERY HARD ON IT.
>> Jimmy: YOU DID, RIGHT
I CAN TELL
IT'S LIKE IT'S TRICKY STUFF.
BUT YOU DO IT LIKE YOU'VE DONE
IT -- I MEAN, DID YOU GET
CAUGHT -
>> A HUNDRED THOUSAND TIMES IN
REHEARSAL.
THAT'S HOW WE DO IT.
LIKE, WE REHEARSED IT UNTIL WE
DROPPED.
WE SPENT ENDLESS, ENDLESS HOURS
IN DANCE REHEARSALS.
NEITHER PHOEBE, NOR I, ARE LIKE
CHAMPIONSHIP DANCERS
BUT WE'RE, ALSO, SURROUNDED BY
PROFESSIONAL DANCERS
>> Jimmy: YEAH
>> SO, WE WOULD -- I THINK WE
WERE BOTH A BIT SHAKEN
AND WE'D LIKE EVEN CALL EACH
OTHER UP LIKE, "HEY, I KNOW WE
REHEARSED ALL WEEK
BUT ARE YOU FREE ON SATURDAY TO
REHEARSE THE DANCE SOME MORE?"
AND THEN, WE DID
>> Jimmy: YEAH
>> BECAUSE ALSO, THEY SHOW OFF
DANCERS AREN'T SHY
LIKE, CHRIS VAN DUSEN, THE SHOW
RUNNER, WOULD LIKE THROW
RIHANNA ON SET JUST TO LIKE
LOOSEN UP THE ENERGY
AND THEY'D ALL START THROWING
DOWN LIKE PROFESSIONAL DANCERS
AND THEN, WE GO BACK AND IT'S
LIKE THE CLASSICAL DANCE
>> Jimmy: YEP, I'VE SEEN THAT,
TOO.
>> AND THEY'RE LIKE, "OH WOW, I
GOT TO -- I GOT TO COMPETE WITH
THAT."
>> Jimmy: YOU ALSO -- I HEARD
YOU, SOMEWHERE, TALKING ABOUT
WORKING WITH THE HORSES AND
THAT'S BEEN A WHOLE DIFFERENT
EXPERIENCE
>> WELL, I MEAN, HORSES ARE THE
BIGGEST DIVAS ON SET
IF ANYONE EVER TELLS YOU
OTHERWISE, DON'T BELIEVE THEM.
IT'S -- YOU KNOW, LIKE THE
ANIMALS AND KIDS THING
>> Jimmy: YEAH
>> IT'S PARTICULARLY HORSES
BECAUSE THEY'RE LIKE INCREDIBLY
INTELLIGENT CHILDREN WITH THE
POWER OF A HORSE
>> Jimmy: YES.
>> SO, LIKE, YOU CAN'T SAY THE
WORD A-C-T-I-O-N ON SET AROUND
A HORSE BECAUSE THEY KNOW WHAT
IT MEANS
SO IF SOMEONE JUST LIKE
BLITHELY YELLS ACTION, THE
HORSE WILL RUN
IT WILL JUST LIKE SPRINT OFF
DOWN A HIGH STREET BATH, MOW
DOWN TEN GRANNIES, AND THE
INSURANCE COMPANY SHUTS IT ALL
DOWN
>> Jimmy: BUT I SAW SOME
PICTURE SOMEWHERE, TOO, OF
LIKE -- 'CAUSE, OBVIOUSLY, YOU
CAN'T DO THE WHOLE -- THESE
CARRIAGE RIDES, YOU KNOW, IF
YOU HAVE TO DO SCENE BY SCENE,
YOU WOULDN'T DO IT WITH THE
HORSE.
SO, IT'S ON GREEN SCREEN
AND THERE'S LIKE CREW.
AND GUYS -- THERE IT IS, RIGHT
THERE.
>> OH, YEAH.
OH, YEAH
>> Jimmy: SHAKING THE CARRIAGE
>> THAT'S THE MOVIE MAGIC.
IT'S LIKE WHEN WE'RE ON GREEN
SCREEN, THERE IS NO HORSES IN
THE STUDIO
IT'S JUST LIKE A COUPLE SET PAs
AND A GRIP AND SOMEONE FROM THE
CAMERA CREW WHO'S DRAWN THE
SHORT STRAW.
JUST LIKE, WHOEVER'S FREE.
IT'S LIKE BEING IN THEATER
IT'S ALL HANDS ON DECK
IT'S LIKE, "YO, WHO WANTS TO BE
A HORSE RIGHT NOW?
WE NEED TO SHAKE THE CARRIAGE.
AND SO, LIKE YOU MAY PETE GO A
A COUPLE OF YARDS, COME OVER
AND START SHOVING IT
THEY'RE LIKE "SHOVE IT MORE,
THEY'RE GOING FASTER."
AND SO, THEY SHOVE IT HARDER
AND YOU ARE LIKE HAVING A DEEP
ROMANTIC MOMENT WITH THE LOVE
OF YOUR LIFE
AND PETE'S JUST LIKE TRYING TO
PUT YOU OFF.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> Jimmy: LOOK, THEY'RE HORSE
SOUND EFFECTS, TOO
>> OH, YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.
ABSOLUTELY
IT'S A NAUGHTY -- IT'S A
A NAUGHTY CREW
BUT ALSO, IT'S JUST VERY
GENEROUS
IT'S THAT THING THAT BRITS DO.
LIKE, THERE WERE HUNDREDS OF
PEOPLE THAT WORKED SO HARD TO
MAKE THIS THING HAPPEN AND THAT
IS VERY APT.
IT'S VERY MUCH A BIG TEAM
EFFORT
SO IT'S NOT A BAD MEMORY TO
HAVE
>> Jimmy: WELL, CONGRATS ON ALL
THE SUCCESS.
I WANT TO SHOW EVERYONE A CLIP
HERE IS REGE-JEAN PAGE IN

TO FAN THE FLAMES OF OUR
CHARADE.
>> AWW BECAUSE OF --
I HEARD.
>> I MUST MAKE HIM BELIEVE THAT
YOU ARE AT THE VERY PRECIPICE
OF PROPOSAL SO THAT HE WILL
LEAVE ME ALONE
>> I SHOULD HOPE I DON'T LOOSE
MY BALANCE THEN.
>> I SHOULD HOPE NOT, EITHER
IF YOU WILL BE GLUED TO MY SIDE
ALL EVENING.
AND WE MUST LOOK LIKE WE ARE
ENJOYING OURSELVES, AS
DIFFICULT AS THAT MAY BE
