TRY IT." SO I TOOK HER OUT TO PLAY GOLF SHE PLAYS RIGHTY AS WELL
AND SHE WAS JUST STRIPING IT SHE'S 10 YEARS OLD AND I WAS LIKE, "HONEY, HERE IS
THE DEAL." BECAUSE MY WIFE HATES GOLF MY WIFE IS LIKE, "WHAT ARE YOU
DOING OUT THERE? THINK ABOUT ALL THE HOUSING, IF YOU GOT RID OF ALL THE GOLF
COURSES. IT'S LIKE THAT, SO - [ LAUGHTER ]
Jimmy: THAT'S SO FUNNY. SO NOW I'M TRYING TO RECRUIT MAPLE INTO THE GOLF, YOU KNOW,
ADDICTION. Jimmy: YES. BECAUSE THAT MEANS DADDY CAN
PLAY A LOT MORE GOLF WE CAN TRAVEL. I SAID, "LISTEN, YOU GET GREAT
AT THIS, YOU GET ALL HOPPED UP ABOUT IT, YOU AND I CAN HAVE DADDY DAUGHTER TIME.

A STANDING OVATION THAT'S PRETTY SOLID Jimmy: YEAH, IT'S PRETTY

ONE OF YOU KNOWS WHO THE GUEST IS THE OTHER TWO DO NOT

THAT GUEST IS SO THAT THE OTHER TWO DO NOT NEED TO PREPARE I -- IT'S REALLY FUN, BECAUSE
WE GET TO TALK TO PEOPLE THAT ARE HEROES OF OURS, AND YOU CAN SKIP, YOU KNOW, FOUR OR FIVE
DATES. YOU CAN JUST GET RIGHT INTO ASKING LIKE YOU'RE TRAPPED IN
AN ELEVATOR WITH SOMEBODY. Jimmy: YEAH, BUT IS THERE TIMES WHERE YOU'RE DOING THE

PREPARE. LIKE PAUL McCARTNEY. YEAH.
SEAN HAD -- PAUL McCARTNEY WAS HIS GUEST. AND --

IF THEY -- IT WAS -- THE BAR IS -- Jimmy: NO, THEY KNEW THAT --
THEY KNOW THAT PAUL McCARTNEY IS NOT GOING TO COME OUT SO THEY JUST LIKE, "YEAH, YEAH
WE LOVE PAUL McCARTNEY, BUT WE KNOW HE'S NOT GOING TO --" IF PAUL McCARTNEY HAD A
A PODCAST, "WOO-HOO! Jimmy: NO, NO, NO [ LAUGHTER ]
THEY'RE LIKE, "JASON BATEMAN'S HERE, LET'S GET TO THE BATEMAN.
LET'S GET RIGHT INTO IT. THAT GOT A STANDING O. BUT -- NO, YEAH, SO -- YEAH,
IF PAUL -- IF I KNEW PAUL McCARTNEY WAS COMING OUT, I WOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE -- YOU
KNOW, BECAUSE, LIKE, I LOVE WINGS. Jimmy: ME TOO
BUT THE FACT THAT -- DID YOU KNOW HE WAS IN A BAND BEFORE THAT
LIKE I HAD NO IDEA SO HE COMES OUT. [ LAUGHTER ]
AND I'M LIKE -- I WAS A LITTLE EMBARRASSED. BECAUSE THEY START TALKING
ABOUT THE BEATLES. Jimmy: THE BEATLES, AND YOU GO, "I'VE NEVER HEARD OF YOU."
THERE ARE NO BUGS IN MY HOUSE. WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT
[ LAUGHTER ] Jimmy: YEAH, YEAH, YEAH SO THAT WAS EMBARRASSING FOR
ME Jimmy: THAT WAS EMBARRASSING, YOU DIDN'T KNOW
ABOUT THE BEATLES, YEAH. I WANT TO TALK ABOUT "OZARK. IT'S THE FINAL SEASON.
COMING TO AN END IT'S OVER. THIS IS IT.
WELL, LISTEN ALL GOOD THINGS. Jimmy: OH, IT'S GREAT, YES,
A SERIES FINALE -- ALL GOOD THINGS -- ALL GREAT THINGS -- THIS IS ONE OF THE
BEST SHOWS I'VE EVER SEEN. THANK YOU, BUDDY. Jimmy: AND DUDE, YOU ARE SO
GOOD THANK YOU [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
Jimmy: IN THIS. YOU ARE SO GOOD. I JUST -- I DON'T WANT IT TO
END. BUT I HEARD THIS -- THAT YOU -- ORIGINALLY YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSED
TO BE IN IT. YOU WERE JUST PRODUCING IT AND DIRECTING.
THAT WAS MY ORIGINAL GOAL WAS TO DIRECT THEM ALL THE ACTING PART OF IT -- I
CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT THE SEQUENCING OF IT WAS, BUT YEAH I JUST -- I DON'T KNOW WHAT
IT -- MAYBE BECAUSE I'VE BEEN DOING SO MUCH COMEDY, THE IDEA OF DOING SOMETHING DARK AND
DRAMATIC AND THEN ESPECIALLY AS A DIRECTOR TOO, WHERE, YOU KNOW, YOU GET TO SHOOT
CINEMATIC STUFF AND, LIKE, WORK WITH A COMPOSER ABOUT CREEPY MUSIC AND ALL THAT STUFF WAS
REALLY EXCITING TO ME. AND THE SCRIPTS WERE SUCH THAT IT WAS LIKE, "OH, YEAH, YOU ARE
GOING TO NEED TO DO THAT TO MATCH THESE SCRIPTS, "BECAUSE THEY'RE DARK
Jimmy: YEAH AND SO THAT WAS THE PLAN. COULDN'T MAKE ENOUGH TIME TO
DIRECT THEM ALL. SO I JUST DID THE FIRST TWO AND THE LAST TWO OF THAT FIRST
SEASON, AND DID A BUNCH SINCE THEN Jimmy: YEAH, I WANT TO TALK
MORE ABOUT "OZARK" WHEN WE COME BACK AND ALSO SHOW A CLIP. MORE WITH JASON BATEMAN AFTER
THE BREAK. COME ON BACK [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
* Jimmy: WELCOME BACK, EVERYONE
I'M TALKING TO THE ONE AND ONLY JASON BATEMAN, RIGHT HERE. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT I WANT TO TALK "OZARK. "OZARK" IS A VERY SPOILERY
SHOW SO, I DON'T WANT TO SPOIL ANYTHING FOR ANYONE --
WE ALL DIE AT THE END IS THAT A SPOILER? Jimmy: YOU CAN'T EVEN -- YOU
CAN'T EVEN JOKE AND SAY THAT BUT IT'S GOOD DEATHS. Jimmy: YOU CAN'T EVEN JOKE.
IT'S AN OLD COYOTE. YOU KNOW THE DYNAMITE THING? Jimmy: NO THAT'S NOT EXACTLY
WHAT HAPPENS [ LAUGHTER ] IT'S FINE
Jimmy: THAT WOULD BE UNBELIEVABLE DO PEOPLE TRY TO GET SPOILERS
OUT OF YOU I WOULD NOT TRY TO DO THAT NO ONE REALLY TRIES TO GET
THE SPOILERS OUT, BUT I DO LIKE TO JUST GO AHEAD AND OFFER THEM LIKE I JUST DID HERE
BUT THE DEATH -- BUT THE FOUR OF US -- [ LAUGHTER ]
Jimmy: YOU CAN'T DO IT. HAVE YOU ACCIDENTALLY SPOILED ANYTHING FOR ANYONE?
I WAS ACTUALLY WATCHING A A CUT OF ONE OF THE SCENES WORKING WITH THE EDITOR.
AND I WAS WATCHING ON MY COMPUTER, AND AMANDA, MY WIFE, WALKED IN.
SHE WALKED IN. SHE WAS TALKING TO ME. "HEY, SO, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH."
AND SHE LOOKS AND SHE WATCHED ONE OF THE CHARACTERS DIE. AND SHE WAS LIKE, "GOD --"
Jimmy: "WHY DID I WALK IN NOW? AND NOW IT'S RUINED. THAT'S ONE OF THE -- THE TWISTS
THAT COME IN I REMEMBER, QUESTLOVE, YOU SAW "OZARK" IN, LIKE, A DAY OR
SOMETHING. Questlove: YES. COME ON
Jimmy: QUEST WAS LIKE, "DUDE, WHERE ARE YOU AT? I'M LIKE, "IT'S SO INTERESTING
AND SO FUN." AND HE'S LIKE, "NO, NO, NO HAVE YOU GOT TO ANYTHING CRAZY?
I GO, "NOTHING CRAZY YET." DIDN'T "SNL" DO A SKETCH ON THAT WHERE, LIKE, WITH
STREAMING SHOWS YOU CAN'T TALK ABOUT ANY SHOW "ARE YOU WATCHING THAT?"
"DON'T TALK ABOUT THAT." AND THEY TALK ABOUT THAT AND DON'T TALK ABOUT THAT.
Jimmy: NO, YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO TALK ABOUT ANYTHING IT'S ONE OF THE BUMMERS
ABOUT STREAMING, BUT I LIKE HAVING THE CHOICE OF BEING ABLE TO WATCH THEM AT ONCE.
Jimmy: HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN WHEN DID YOU START DOING "OZARK?"
THIS IS THE -- FIVE YEARS AGO. MAYBE SIX WITH COVID
I DON'T KNOW Jimmy: SO, SIX YEARS. I THINK YOU SHOULD CATCH UP AND
UNDERSTAND I THINK IT'S TOTALLY UNDERSTANDABLE IF SOMEONE DOES
SPOIL IT I WON'T DO IT, BUT I WILL TELL YOU IT'S ONE OF THE GREATEST
SHOWS. EVERY PERFORMANCE IS KNOCKOUT. LAURA LINNEY IS A KNOCKOUT
KNOCKOUT [ APPLAUSE ] JULIA, A KNOCKOUT.
YOU ARE -- DUDE, YOU ARE UNBELIEVABLE I CAN'T IMAGINE ANY OTHER HUMAN
BEING DOING YOU. I TRY TO DO AN IMPRESSION OF YOU.
AND NOW - I KNOW DIDN'T YOU DO ONE LAST TIME Jimmy: I DID AND NOW PEOPLE
ASK ME TO DO -- THEY GO, "CAN YOU --" I KIND OF FORGET. IT'S HURTFUL I THINK PROBABLY,
RIGHT? [ LAUGHTER ] Jimmy: MOST IMPRESSIONS ARE,
BUT, NO, IT'S OUT OF LOVE. ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS PUT ON SLIPPERS, PJs, AND WATCH A
A DODGER GAME AND FALL ASLEEP. THAT'S THE PERFECT - Jimmy: "GANG, GANG, GANG,
GUYS, GUYS, GUYS." THAT'S ALL I REALLY DID. [ LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
THAT'S PRETTY GOOD. Jimmy: BUT I CAN'T -- I GOTTA SAY, I ALSO DID SOME DEEP
DIVING I MIGHT BE WRONG IN SAYING THIS
DO YOU COME UP WITH THE DRAWINGS, THE GRAPHICS THE SYMBOLS AT THE
BEGINNING? YEAH, YEAH, YEAH Jimmy: IS THAT YOU?
YEAH. I WORK WITH THIS GREAT GRAPHIC ARTIST NEIL KELLERHOUSE.
WHOSE WORKED A LOT WITH DAVID FINCHER. AND I'M A HUGE FINCHER FAN
SO I REACHED OUT TO HIM. AND I SAID, "SO HERE'S THE DEAL
WE GOTTA DO AN OPEN. I DIDN'T WANT TO DO A CREDITS SEQUENCE
DON'T YOU HATE YOU GOT TO A MINUTE AND A HALF OF CREDITS FOR A SHOW YOU WATCH ALL THE
TIME IT'S LIKE, "LET'S GET TO THE STORY.
SO, I WANTED TO DO SOMETHING THAT WAS JUST, LIKE, FIVE SECONDS LONG
BUT NETFLIX WAS LIKE, "WE GOT TO SEE THE NAME OF THE SHOW. LIKE, PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY
CLICKED. THEY KNOW WHAT SHOW THEY'RE WATCHING
Jimmy: LIKE, "WHAT IS THIS 'BOZARK?' WE NEVER HEARD OF THAT
[ LAUGHTER ] WE KNOW WHAT WE ARE WATCHING." ALL RIGHT
WE WILL PUT THE NAME OF THE SHOW IN THIS LITTLE FIVE SECOND THING.
WE ARE NOT GOING TO DO IT WITH O-Z-A-R-K. WELL, THE SYMBOLS ARE IN THE
SHAPE OF Z-A-R-K Jimmy: I DIDN'T KNOW THAT WHICH I DON'T KNOW IF A LOT
OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT THOSE SYMBOLS ARE IN THE SHAPE SO, YOU HAVE THE O
Jimmy: YEAH THEN THE FIRST SYMBOL IS IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY, IT'S A Z
THEN A, THEN R, THEN K BUT THOSE SYMBOLS ARE ALSO HARBINGERS OF THINGS THAT ARE
COMING IN THE EPISODES SO, THAT'S WHY NEIL IS SUCH A GENIUS
HE CAN WORK ALL THIS STUFF OUT I GO THROUGH EVERY EPISODE, AND I GIVE HIM, LIKE, 10 OR
12 THINGS THAT ARE IMPORTANT IN THE EPISODE. THEN HE DECIDES WHICH ONE OF
THOSE THINGS LEND THEMSELVES TO A SYMBOL LIKE, I'LL SAY, A FISH PLAYS A
A BIG PART SO, HE' LL GO, "YEAH, OKAY, SO A FISH CAN BEND INTO AN 'R' OR
A 'K.'" SO, HE WORKS -- HE SENDS THEM TO ME I GO, "YEAH, THAT'S TOO
OBVIOUS. MAYBE THAT A LITTLE LESS LOOKS TOO MUCH LIKE A 'K.'"
THAT'S A FUN THING WE DO Jimmy: IT'S BRILLIANT YOU TRY TO GUESS WHAT THE
EPISODE -- YOU CAN ALMOST GUESS WHAT THE EPISODE WILL BE ABOUT.
I'M NEVER CLOSE. THE ONLY RULE IS THAT IT CAN'T BE SOMETHING THAT EXISTED
BEFORE YOU GO TO THAT CARD IN OTHER WORDS, THAT LITTLE COLD OPENING, IT CAN'T BE
ANYTHING FROM THERE. SO, IT'S FROM THAT POINT FORWARD.
Jimmy: SO, YOU ARE DOING THE SERIES FINALE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS, BUT
YOUR LAST SCENE WITH LAURA LINNEY, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS.
WHEN YOU DO THAT, ARE THERE TEARS? THERE WERE -- THE ACTUAL --
THE LAST SCENE WE SHOT OF EVERYTHING WAS A BIG MOMENT IN THE SHOW
IT'S NOT THE LAST SCENE IN THE SHOW, BUT IT'S THE LAST SCENE THAT WE SHOT
SO, YEAH, THERE WAS SOME MELANCHOLY BUT IT WAS BITTERSWEET, BECAUSE
WE WERE HAPPY THAT WE KIND OF MADE IT TO THE FINISH LINE WITHOUT SCREWING THINGS UP TOO
BAD, I HOPE. Jimmy: YOU MADE GREAT TV. THANK YOU
Jimmy: IT'S EVEN BIGGER THAN TV IT'S LIKE MOVIES
LIKE, MINI MOVIES. THEY'RE UNBELIEVABLE A BUNCH OF INCREDIBLE PEOPLE
IN THAT CREW AND THE INCREDIBLE WRITING. AND IT WAS -- WE WERE VERY,
VERY LUCKY Jimmy: IS THERE ANY WORLD WHERE THERE'S A HAPPY ENDING TO
THIS SHOW? IT IS THAT'S WHAT CHRIS MUNDY, WHO IS
OUR INCREDIBLE WRITER, AND HIS STAFF, AND OUR SHOW RUNNER, HE -- YOU KNOW,'CAUSE WE TALKED
BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF EVERY SEASON ABOUT WHAT ARE WE GOING TO TRY TO GET DONE
AND I DON'T MESS AROUND WITH THE WRITING. I'M NOT SMART ENOUGH
BUT WE TALK ABOUT THE THEMES, AND WITH THE FINAL SEASON, THE WHOLE THING WAS LIKE, "WELL,
HOW ARE WE GOING TO END IT SHOULD THE BIRD FAMILY PAY A A BILL
YOU KNOW SHOULD THEY GET AWAY WITH IT SHOULD THEY NOT?
AND SO HE SAD, "WELL, I WANT IT TO BE A HAPPY ENDING, BUT THERE'S GOT TO BE A LITTLE BIT
OF A, WELL, IS IT HAPPY FOR THEM?" AND SO HOPEFULLY, THE AUDIENCE
WILL THINK, "AH, THEY'VE KIND OF THREADED THE NEEDLE BETWEEN A HAPPY ENDING, BUT THERE'S
A LITTLE BIT OF -- THEY'RE LIMPING. Jimmy: YEAH, DO YOU KNOW
GOING INTO IT WHERE IT WAS GOING TO END UP, LIKE, FROM THE FIRST SEASON
YOU'RE LIKE, "LET'S DO THIS. LET'S HOPE THAT IT'S A HIT." WE DIDN'T HAVE THE FINISH
LINE DONE AT THE VERY, VERY BEGINNING. BUT WE WERE PRETTY CLEAR THAT
IT SHOULD BE A FAMILY SHOW -- NOT A FAMILY SHOW, BUT - [ LAUGHTER ]
Jimmy: IT IS SO NOT A A FAMILY -- FAR FROM - A SHOW ABOUT A FAMILY
Jimmy: IT'S A MORNING SHOW. YOU REALLY GOT TO WATCH IT WITH THE KIDS
YOU GOT TO GET THE KIDS OVER THEY LOVE IT OH, MY GOD
A LEAD-IN TO "ALF." [ LAUGHTER ] Jimmy: OH, MY GOSH.
CONGRATS, BUDDY ON EVERYTHING. YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU. I WANT TO SHOW A CLIP.
HERE'S JASON BATEMAN AND LAURA LINNEY IN "OZARK." TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.
A LONG TIME AGO YOU KNEW BETTER THAN ME WHAT
THIS WAS THEY CUT OUT A MAN'S EYES IN FRONT OF YOU
I GOT US INTO THIS. YOU'RE GETTING US OUT OF THIS, YEAH
WE -- WE CHOSE THIS TOGETHER NOBODY TALKED YOU INTO THIS. YOU WERE EXCITED ABOUT THIS.
