YOU. >> VERY SUPPORTIVE >> Jimmy: AND YOU'RE -- YEAH
YOU'RE A VERY SUCCESSFUL KID, SO THEY'RE REALLY -- >> I AM.
>> Jimmy: YEAH >> I AM A SUCCESSFUL KID >> Jimmy: YEAH, YOU ARE.
BUT YOUR MOM -- RECENTLY, YOU TWEETED THIS OUT IT MADE ME LAUGH
IT SAID, "DID MY MOTHER JUST EMAIL THE HEAD OF A MAJOR MOVIE STUDIO TO GET THEM TO HURRY UP
TO GREEN LIGHT OUR MOVIE YES. YES, SHE DID."
[ LAUGHTER ] IS THIS TRUE >> THAT IS TRUE.
MY MOTHER I GUESS HAD THE EMAIL. SHE ASKED ME WHAT I'M DOING,
AND I HAD BEEN WRITING A MOVIE WITH MY PARTNER, EVAN, FOR YEARS.
AND SHE HAD READ THE SCRIPT AND SHE REALLY LIKED IT. AND WE KEPT NOT HEARING IF THEY
WERE GOING TO MAKE IT. AND THEN SHE CALLED ME ONE DAY AND SHE SAID, "SOMEHOW I HAVE
THE EMAIL OF THE HEAD OF THE STUDIO I'M GOING TO EMAIL HIM, AND
TELL HIM TO MAKE YOUR MOVIE. AND I WAS LIKE, "OKAY, GO FOR IT."
[ LAUGHTER ] I'VE ALWAYS HEARD NEPOTISM IS A BIG THING IN HOLLYWOOD
I'VE NEVER GOTTEN TO PARTICIPATE IN THAT IN ANYWAY. I'VE WORKED WITH A LOT OF KID'S
ACTORS YOU KNOW, SONS OF FAMOUS ACTORS -- AND DAUGHTERS.
AND SO, I THOUGHT, "YEAH, EMAIL THE HEAD OF THE STUDIO AND SHE DID.
AND IT DID NOT WORK. [ LAUGHTER ] >> Jimmy: YOU'VE GOT TO TRY.
>> SO, IF YOUR MOTHER OFFERS TO EMAIL YOUR BOSS, SAY NO, I GUESS.
>> Jimmy: GREAT JOB, MOM GREAT JOB. YOUR PARENTS MUST BE EXCITED
THAT YOU'RE IN A STEVEN SPIELBERG MOVIE >> THEY WERE REALLY, REALLY,
REALLY EXCITED THEY WERE PROUD OF ME. >> Jimmy: WHAT IS IT LIKE TO
GET A CALL FROM STEVEN SPIELBERG >> IT WAS CRAZY.
AT FIRST, I WAS NERVOUS. I THOUGHT I WAS IN TROUBLE FOR SOMETHING.
I MADE A LOT OF BAD JOKES OVER THE YEARS, PROBABLY SOME THAT HE WOULD FIND OFFENSIVE I WOULD
IMAGINE. >> Jimmy: YOU THOUGHT HE WAS THROWING YOU OUT OF HOLLYWOOD.
>> YEAH, MAYBE I WAS JUST GETTING KICKED OUT >> Jimmy: THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS.
>> THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS SPIELBERG CALLS AND HE'S LIKE, "YOU'RE OUT.
[ LAUGHTER ] >> Jimmy: I WOULD GET NERVOUS TOO.
>> I WOULD GET SCARED. BUT NO >> Jimmy: I HEARD THAT YOU WERE
THE FIRST PERSON HE THOUGHT OF >> I WAS TOLD THAT HE HAD A SCRIPT, AND HE WANTED ME TO
READ IT. AND HE DIDN'T TELL ME WHAT IT WAS ABOUT, BUT HE WAS GOING TO
OFFER ME A ROLE IN IT. WHICH ACTUALLY MADE ME NERVOUS, BECAUSE I KNEW NO MATTER
WHATEVER THE ROLE WAS, I HAD TO TAKE IT. EVEN IF IT WAS A TERRIBLE ONE.
AND I ALSO DIDN'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF MOVIE IT WAS I WAS LIKE, "AM I GOING TO BE
A DINOSAUR WHAT AM I GOING TO BE EXACTLY? I DID ALWAYS LIKE THAT DINOSAUR
THAT SPITS PHLEGM BECAUSE I AM A PHLEGMY PERSON [ LAUGHTER ]
SO, I ALWAYS THOUGHT, "IF THERE'S ONE I CAN DO, IT'S THAT ONE.
>> Jimmy: I KNOW THAT ONE. >> NO, IT WAS ACTUALLY A DEEPLY PERSONAL FILM, AND I -- YEAH
HE WANTED ME TO PLAY SOMEONE INSPIRED BY HIS UNCLE. BERNIE WAS THE REAL GUY, AND
BENNY IS THE CHARACTER >> Jimmy: DO YOU GET NERVOUS WHEN YOU'RE ACTING IN FRONT OF
STEVEN SPIELBERG >> YES, A LITTLE BIT BUT WHAT'S INTERESTING IS WE
SHOT THE MOVIE DURING COVID, SO HE WAS WEARING A MASK THE ENTIRE TIME WE WERE SHOOTING
AND SO, HE DIDN'T LOOK LIKE STEVEN SPIELBERG HE JUST LOOKED LIKE A SHORT
JEWISH GUY IN A MASK [ LAUGHTER ] AND IF THERE'S ONE THING I'M
VERY COMFORTABLE AROUND, IT'S SHORT JEWISH GUYS. THAT'S MY BREAD-AND-BUTTER
RIGHT THERE. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE THAT'S MY [ BLEEP
THOSE -- YEAH. SO, I WASN'T THAT NERVOUS WE WERE MAKING THE MOVIE.
NOW THAT WE'RE PROMOTING THE MOVIE, I'M SEEING HIM A LOT WITHOUT THE MASK, AND I'M LIKE,
"OH, MY GOD, IT'S STEVEN SPIELBERG >> Jimmy: I LOVE YOU
>> "BIG FAN. >> Jimmy: DID YOU ASK HIM FOR ADVICE
I KNOW YOU DIRECT AS WELL? >> I DIDN'T KNOW HOW HE WAS GOING TO DIRECT.
AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF FEEDBACK HE WOULD GIVE, AND HOW THAT WOULD GO.
SO, THE FIRST DAY, I START -- WE START SHOOTING AND WE DO A TAKE
AND I'M LIKE, YOU KNOW, I GO BACK TO WHERE HE'S STANDING AND I'M, LIKE, GOING TO LOOK -- I'M
LOOKING FOR FEEDBACK >> Jimmy: OF COURSE. >> AND HE IS JUST SOBBING
UNCONTROLLABLY AND I THOUGHT, "OH, NO, I'M SO BAD HE'S CRYING.
[ LAUGHTER ] >> Jimmy: THIS WHOLE THING IS A DISASTER
>> AND HE'S GOING TO FIRE ME RIGHT NOW AND HE'S GOING TO SAY, "I MADE A MISTAKE."
BUT, NO. IT'S SUCH A DEEPLY PERSONAL MOVIE THAT HE CRIED A LOT
ACTUALLY WHEN THE SCENES WERE HAPPENING, YOU WOULD GO BACK AND HE WOULD
BE WEEPING I NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD FEEL GREAT TO MAKE STEVEN SPIELBERG
CRY ALL THE TIME [ LAUGHTER ] >> Jimmy: WOW.
>> BUT IT DID. IT FELT WONDERFUL. I'D MAKE HIM CRY RIGHT NOW IF I
COULD. [ LAUGHTER ] >> Jimmy: THAT'S SO COOL IT WAS
THAT PERSONAL. >> IT WAS REALLY STRANGE >> Jimmy: AND I HEARD HE MADE
YOU CHANGE YOUR LOOK A LITTLE BIT FOR THIS >> A LITTLE BIT, YEAH.
THE CHARACTER -- THE CHARACTER THAT THE CHARACTER IS BASED ON HAD A VERY RECEDING HAIRLINE,
LIKE PRETTY FAR BACK I WENT TO SET A FEW DAYS BEFORE WE STARTED SHOOTING AND HE WAS
LIKE, "I WANT YOU TO CUT BACK YOUR HAIRLINE SO IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE GOING MUCH MORE BALD
THAN YOU ARE." I WAS LIKE, "OKAY, THAT'S A BIG THING FOR ME."
BUT HOW DO YOU SAY NO TO STEVEN SPIELBERG SO OBVIOUSLY I GO BACK AND DO
IT AND TO ME, IT'S VERY DRASTIC I'M LIKE, "OH, MY GOD.
IT'S ALL ANYONE'S GOING TO TALK ABOUT. I'M GOING TO SEE EVERYONE AND
THEY'LL BE LIKE, "OH, MY GOD." AND INSTEAD, I KEPT RUNNING INTO PEOPLE I KNOW AND SEEING
THEM, AND NO ONE SAID ANYTHING [ LAUGHTER ] AND THAT MADE ME REALIZE THAT
TO THEM I'M BALDING. [ LAUGHTER ] I WAS ALREADY BALDING!
IT WASN'T A SHIFT. I WAS ALREADY A BALDING GUY, AND I AM A BALDING GUY
SO, THEN I REALIZED I'M A BALDING GUY. SO, THAT WAS A BIG MOMENT.
>> Jimmy: OKAY >> AND THEN YOU'VE GOT TO ASK YOURSELF, "ARE YOU GOING TO DO
SOMETHING ABOUT IT?" BECAUSE A LOT OF ACTORS DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT
YOU HAVE A -- YOU LOOK GREAT I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE DOING A A THING, BUT IT'S WORKING.
WHATEVER IS GOING ON - >> Jimmy: I'M NOT DOING ANYTHING
THIS IS REAL >> THAT IS ALL GOOD. BECAUSE I WORK WITH A LOT OF
ACTORS, WHO LIKE, YOU KNOW, NOW IN THEIR CAREER, THEY HAVE MORE HAIR THAN WHEN THEY STARTED,
WHICH IS A REAL THING. IT'S A STRESSFUL DOUBLE LIFE THEY HAVE.
>> Jimmy: IT'S TOO MUCH WORK >> AS A BALDING ACTOR WHO IS PRETENDING TO NOT BE BALDING
AND I DON'T KNOW IF I COULD BEAR THAT WEIGHT BUT GO WATCH THE FIRST
"AVENGERS" AND "AVENGERS: END GAME," THEY ALL HAVE MORE HAIR [ LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM WITH A SNAP, THEIR HAIR CAME BACK
50% OF THEIR HAIR CAME BACK. [ LAUGHTER ] >> Jimmy: THIS MOVIE IS, LIKE
YOU SAID, VERY PERSONAL. MAN, IT TUGS AT THE HEART STRINGS, AND IT'S GETTING GREAT
REVIEWS. EVERYONE TOP TO BOTTOM IS GETTING GREAT REVIEWS ON THIS
FILM >> YEAH. >> Jimmy: CONGRATULATIONS ON
THIS >> THANK YOU IT'S SO LOVELY TO BE A PART OF
IT [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE >> Jimmy: CAN WE -- CAN WE SET
IT UP IN ANY WAY >> THIS IS A SCENE -- YEAH, WHERE SAMMY IS A CHARACTER WHO
IS KIND OF REPRESENTATIVE OF A A YOUNG STEVEN SPIELBERG IS -- HE'S KIND OF DEBATING WHETHER
OR NOT TO GIVE UP FILM MAKING, AND MY CHARACTER IS TRYING TO CONVINCE HIM TO NOT GIVE IT UP
>> Jimmy: I WANT TO SHOW EVERYONE A CLIP. HERE'S SETH ROGEN IN "THE
FABELMANS. TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.
>> THEY'RE GOING TO CHANGE THE
WHOLE GOD DAMN WORLD, SO THIS WAS RIGHT TO DECISION. THERE'S ALL SORTS OF REASONS

YOU, A LOT THINK WHATEVER BAD THINGS YOU WANT ABOUT ME, KIDDO, BUT YOU
