>> GOOD EVENING, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WELCOME TO THE "LATE,
LATE SHOW," THANKS FOR STOPPING BY, WE LOVE BEING PART OF YOUR
DAY, WE APPRECIATE IT SO MUCH, ON TONIGHT'S SHOW WE ARE JOINED
BY THE LEGENDARY EDDIE MURPHY, IS HERE.
LATER WE HAVE A PERFORMANCE FROM TIANA MAJOR9, YOU DON'T WANT TO
MISS THAT BUT FIRST WE HAVE TO MARK AN ANNIVERSARY.
DO YOU KNOW, THIS IT'S BEEN EXACTLY ONE YEAR SINCE WE LAST
TAPED A SHOW WITH A STUDIO AUDIENCE.
>> WOW.
>> A YEAR TODAY, ISN'T THAT CRAZY.
>> ISN'T THAT MAD?
SO THERE ARE BABIES OUT THERE, THERE ARE BABIES OUT THERE WHO
HAVE NEVER SEEN EMOJI NEWS.
(LAUGHTER) YEAH, YOU CAN CATCH IT ON
YOUTUBE BUT YOU HAVE TO SEE IT LIVE.
THAT'S THE THING.
IF YOU REMEMBER, VIN DIESEL, DO YOU REMEMBER VIN DIESEL WAS ON
THAT SHOW AND NOT EVEN HE COULD STOP THE PANDEMIC FROM
HAPPENING.
THAT IS WHEN I KNEW IT WAS REAL.
AND IN MEMORIES OF THAT LAST SHOW.
>> HE WAS GOLFING AROUND THE OFFICE AND I THOUGHT SURELY THIS
WILL BE THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE YEAR.
AND IT WAS.
>> IT WAS.
>> James: BUT THINGS ARE LOOKING UP, IT'S BEEN ANNOUNCED
THAT ONE IN FOUR ADULTS IN THE UNITED STATES HAVE NOW RECEIVED
THEIR FIRST VACCINE DOSE.
YEAH, YEAH, ONE IN FOUR.
ONE IN FOUR.
AND THE OTHER THREE OUT OF FOUR ADULTS ARE EXTREME LEIGH HAPPY
FOR THEM.
THAT'S WONDERFUL NEWS.
GOOD FOR YOU.
25 PERCENT THE WAY THERE.
TO PUT THAT INTO PANDEMIC TERMS WE'VE JUST PUT THE SOURDOUGH
INTO THE PROOFING BASKET.
IT IS MAD THOUGH, IF YOU HAD TOLD ME A YEAR AGO THAT NEARLY
100 MILLION AMERICANS WOULD BE VACCINATED FOR COVID BY MARCH
2021, I WOULD HAVE SAID WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT.
THEY SAID THIS WILL BE OVER IN TWO WEEKS.
ALL WE'VE GOT TO DO IS FLATEN THE CURVE, THAT'S IT.
WHEN THE WARM WITH COMES IT WILL JUST DISAPPEAR.
GEORGE IS HERE, GUYS.
THIS GEORGE.
GEORGE IS ON.
GEORGE IS ON CAMERA ONE.
GEORGE IS HERE BECAUSE JOEL SIGNED A DEAL WITH NETFLIX.
YES.
HE SIGNED A DEAL, HE WAS SUCH A BREAKOUT STAR.
IT WAS AFTER WE DID CORDON'S CRAZY WHEEL OF MONDO BONKERS.
THEY WERE LIKE WE HAVE TO SNAP THIS GUY UP NOW.
26 MILLION DOLLARS.
THAT IS WHAT HE HAS GOT, DOING TWO SPECIALS AND A REALITY
SERIES.
HE'S NOT IN THE REALITY SERIES, HE IS JUST EXECUTIVE BUT THE TWO
LIVE SPECIALS, YEAH.
>> SHONDA IS BUILDING A COUPLE SHOWS AROUND HIM.
>> James: THAT'S RIGHT, SHONDA RHIMES IS DOING A SHOW CALLED
JOELIS HIM, IT IS JOEL IN REGAL DRESS AND HE IS GOING AT IT IN A
BIG WAY, BUT WE'RE HAPPY FOR HIM, WE'RE THRILLED FOR HIM,
JOEL, GOOD LUCK, JUST INVITE US ON THE YACHT THIS SUMMER.
THAT SAUL WE SAY.
HOW ARE YOU DOING, GEORGE?
ARE YOU GOOD?
EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT?
YEAH?
EVERYTHING GOOD, OKAY, COOL.
AND DID YOU-- WHERE ABOUT ARE YOU FROM, GEORGE?
(LAUGHTER) I'M KIDDINGK I'M KIDDING.
I JUST LOVE YOU WALKING AROUND WITH THAT MICROPHONE.
>> YOU KNOW, MY MIDDLE NAME IS GEORGE.
>> James: WHAT IS YOUR MIDDLE NAME, GEORGE?
(LAUGHTER) IT'S ALL RIGHT, IT DOESN'T
MATTER.
ALL RIGHT.
GEORGE WE'RE LOVE THAT YOU HERE.
AND DID EVERYBODY SEE THIS, THE VACCINE VIAL THAT WAS USED TO
ADMINISTER THE VERY FIRST DOSE IN THE UNITED STATES HAS BEEN
SENT TO THE SMITHSONIAN.
YEAH.
EVEN MUSEUMS ARE GETTING THE VACCINES BEFORE ME.
THE VIAL WILL BE PART OF AN EXHIBIT PLAN FORD NEXT YEAR AND
THERE WILL EVEN BE AN INTERACTIVE PART WHERE A DIGITAL
TOUR GUIDE WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN BUT DISERNTALLY HE WILL
BE ON MUTE THE ENTIRE TIME.
CRAZY TO THINK THAT FUTURE GENERATIONS WILL LEARN ABOUT
THIS IN A MUSEUM.
SOME DAY A KID IS GOING TO BE LIKE MY GRANDPA LIVED THROUGH
THE GREAT COVID PLAGUE OF 2020.
AND THEY WILL GO WOW, WAS HE ON THE FRONT LINES.
AND HE WILL GO NO, BUT HE DID FINALLY GET AROUND TO WATCHING
ALL OF SOPRANOS.
IN OTHER COVID NEWS DENMARK IS INTRODUCING DIGITAL VACCINE
PASSPORTS ELIMINATING THE NEED TO QUARANTINE AFTER TRAVEL.
SO GET READY GUYS, CLOG GIRL SUMMER IS ON.
THIS IS HOW MUCH THE WORLD HAS CHANGED IN ONE YEAR.
TODAY I'M LIKE PARTY IN SONDERBORG, YEAH!
MEANWHILE IN TEXAS, IT WAS ANNOUNCED THAT THE TEXAS RANGERS
WILL BECOME THE FIRST MAININGER SPORT TEAM IN THE UNITED STATES
TO PLAY TO A FULL STADIUM WHICH HOLDS MORE THAN 40,000 PEOPLE,
WILL BE FULLY OPENED FOR THE RANGERS FIRST GAME NEXT MONTH
AGAINST THE TORONTO BLUE JAYS.
WHEN THEY HEARD THIS THE TORONTO BLUE JAYS WERE LIKE SORRY, WAIT,
WHAT IS THAT NOW?
I MEAN THIS IS THE ONLY BASEBALL GAME WHERE MOST OF THE CATCHING
WILL BE DONE IN THE STANDS.
IT WILL BE GREAT THOUGH, TO SEE AMERICA'S NATIONAL PASTTIME
AGAIN.
NOT BASEBALL, I'M TACKING ABOUT IGNORING PUBLIC HEALTH GUIDE
LINES.
(LAUGHTER) AND DID EVERYONE HERE ABOUT STH,
MATTHEW MK CON HEY SAID YESTERDAY THAT HE MIGHT RUN FOR
TEXAS GOVERNOR IN 2022.
MCCONAUGHEY DOESN'T HAVE A TON OF EXPERIENCE IN GOVERNMENT
ALTHOUGH HE DID SERVE AS A LINCOLN LAWYER.
I NEED TO HEAR MORE ABOUT IT BEFORE I CAN SUPPORT
MCCONAUGHEY, I WOULD NEED TO KNOW MORE, DO YOU KNOW WHAT I
MEAN, ARE HIS POLICIES ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT OR
ALL HEFT ALL LEFT, ALL LEFT, ALL LEFT.
>> HE COULD BE RUNNING FOR OFFICE THOUGH, MATT U
MCCONAUGHEY, I DO GET T VERY PATRIOTIC MAN.
I LEARNED THAT WATCHING "MAGIC MIKE" THAT JOEL IS DOING A
REMAKE, A SERIES, MAGIC MIKE IN A SERIES, BUT THIS TIME THEY
TAKE THE WHOLE LOT.
>> SODERBURG HAD A LIST WITH ONE NAME ON IT, AND IT WAS JOEL.
AND JOEL WAS LIKE I CAN'T, I CAN'T DO IT.
AND HE SAID IT'S ALL RIGHT, I'LL CALL GEORGE, BECAUSE HE JUST
TURNED THE PROJECT DOWN.
GEORGE WAS ACTUALLY, GEORGE WAS TOO RICH FOR THE SERIES.
>> THEY SAID JOEL WOULD WALK IF THEY GOT GEORGE, NONE OF THEM
WOULD DO IT, NONE OF THEM WILL STAND NAKED ALONGSIDE GEORGE AND
I UNDERSTAND.
GEORGE ASK LOOKING AT ME LIKE THIS.
YOU WANT TO STOP BUT IS HE ABSOLUTELY LOVING IT.
>> WELCOME TO THE PARTY, GEORGE.
>> James: GEORGE, WHEN YOU-- GEORGE, GEORGE, IF YOU ARE
BACK ON THE SHOW ANOTHER TIME, WILL YOU START MIXING UP WITH
SOME HAWAIIAN SHIRTS OR STICK WITH THIS ARM HUGGER?
>> IF YOU COULD TAKE OFF THAT MASK, GEORGE'S FACE IS DOING
THIS.
(LAUGHTER) AND FINALLY THE KEN DOLL TURNED
60 YEARS OLD TODAY AND TO CELEBRATE MATTEL HAS RELEASE THE
SEVERAL NEW KEN DOLLS IN COLLABORATION WITH FASHION
INFLUENCE EARNS, THERE IS THIS ONE WITH QUEER EYE STAR TAN
FRANCE.
TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.
LOOK.
SO REALISTIC, HE REALLY DOES LOOK LIKE HE'S HOLDING A $12
COFFEE.
THERE IS THIS COLLABORATION WITH FASHION DESIGNER DAPPER DAN.
LOOK AT THAT.
IF THAT KEN LOOKS A BIT DOWN IT IS BECAUSE HE WAS JUST BANNED
FROM TIKTOK.
AND THERE IS NICE, TO CELEBRATE THE BIG DAY MATTEL EVEN RELEASED
THIS ONE YEAR COVID ANNIVERSARY PEN DOLL AND YOU CAN TELL IT'S
BEEN A ROUGH YEAR.
HAVE A LOOK.
(LAUGHTER) NOW HERE AT THE "LATE, LATE
SHOW" WE WRITE A LOT OF PARODY SONGS LIKE A LOT.
SOME WOULD SAY TOO MANY.
YOU KNOW?
AND WE HAVE DONE GOOD ONES, YOU KNOW, RECENTLY, YOU MIGHT HAVE
SEEN MAYBE I'M IMMUNE, OR ONE DAY MORE.
WE HAVE DONE NOT SO GOOD ONES LIKE A FUGUE FOR TURKEY WITH
MATTHEW BRODERICK WHICH, IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN T I URGE YOU NOT
TO.
OKAY?
SO PEOPLE COME UP AND THEY ASK ALL OF US QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR
PARODY SONGS LIKE YOU KNOW, HOW DO THEY GET MADE, WHERE DO YOU
GET THE IDEAS FROM, WHY AREN'T pSOME OF THEM BETTER.
AND TODAY WE HAVE SET OUT TO ANSWER SOME OF THOSE QUESTIONS
AND GIVE YOU A TASTE OF SOME OF THE PARODY SONGS THAT NEVER MADE
IT ON TO THE SHOW.
THIS IS PARODY SONGS WORTH LESS THAN TEN SECONDS.
>> PARODY SONGS WORTH LESS THAN 10 SECONDS OF YOUR TIME.
>> ALL RIGHT, LET'S JUMP RIGHT IN, NOW YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE
THIS FIRST SONG OR MAYBE YOU WON'T, EITHER WAY IT DOESN'T
MATTER, IT WILL BE OVER IN TEN SECONDS.
NOW THIS WAS A THANKSGIVING PITCH FROM 2018 INSPIRED BY
CARLY RAE JEPSEN SMASH HIT CALL ME MAYBE AND IT WAS CALLED PASS
ME GRAVY, HAVE A LISTEN.
>> I'M EATING TURKEY.
♪ IT'S NOT THAT TASTY.
♪ HEY UNCLE BILLY.
♪ PLEASE PASS THE GRAVY.
♪ >> James: I KNOW, NOW I SHOULD
SAY AT THIS POINT THAT YOU WILL ALL OF THE SONGS YOU ARE GOING
TO HEAR ARE GOING TO BE PERFORMED BY DAVE PIENDAK,
SITTING RIGHT OVER THERE, THIS IS DAVE.
THE REASON YOU ARE HEAR DAVE'S VOICE IS DAVE RECORDS THE SONGS
BEFORE WE SEND THEM TO AN ACTOR OR A POP STAR OR WHOEVER OUR
GUEST MILE BE.
DAVE, BE HONEST, AS A VERY ACCOMPLISHED TELEVISION
PRODUCER, HOW HUMILIATING HAS IT BEEN TO RECORD SOME OF THESE
SONGS.
>> HONESTLY, THESE SONGS DON'T EVEN RANK THAT HIGH ON THE LIST
OF HUMILIATING THINGS I'VE DONE FOR THIS SHOW.
I ONE TIME TESTED A GAME CALLED HOT DOGS FROM HEAVEN.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU REMEMBER THAT.
>> James: I DON'T REMEMBER HOT DOGS FROM HEAVEN.
WHAT WAS HOT DOGS FROM HEAVEN.
>> IT WAS GOING TO BE CLAYTON QUERSHAW WHERE WE WOULD THROW
HOT DOGS OFFER THE ROOF.
I WAS ON THE ONE ON THE GROUND CATCHING THE HOT DOGS.
>> James: WOW, WAS THAT THE FIFTH OR 6th TIME THAT
CLAYTON KERSHAW WAS ON.
>> ONE OF THOSE TIMES.
>> James: NOW WHO WROTE PASS HEE GRAVY WHO WAS IT, REALLY,
THE BIG CAT.
WHAT WAS YOUR-- TALK ME THROUGH THE THOUGHT OF WRITING PASS ME
GRAVY.
>> YOU KNOW, THANKSGIVING AND LIKE TURKEY.
KIND OF OVERRATED AS A BIRD.
BUT IF YOU PUT GRAVEDY ON IT, YEAH, IT'S GOOD.
VZ THAT'S THE LEVEL, OKAY.
NOW I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE THINKING.
WHAT CAN POSSIBLY FOLLOW PASS ME GRAVY.
MAYBE A PARODY OF THE U RHYTHMICS SWEET DREAMS ARE MADE
OF THIS, WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO HEAR IS SWEET DREAMS ARE MADE OF
CHEESE.
♪ SWEET DREAMS ARE MADE OF CHEESE.
♪ LIKE HAVARTI, FETA BRIE.
♪ I WILL TAKE IT IN A CAN OR AS A STRING, CRUMBLED OR MELTED ON
SOMETHING.
>> James: NOW I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE THINKING, THAT CAN NOT GET
ANY MORE TRAGIC.
WELL, IT CAN WHEN I TELL THAT YOU THAT WAS A PITCH MADE TO
BRIE LARSON.
WHAT MAKES IT EVEN FUNNIER IS SHE WAS ON THE SHOW TO PROMOTE
THE MOVIE ROOM AT THE TIME.
WHO IS RESPONSIBLE, WHO WROTE SWEET DREAMS ARE MADE OF CHEESE.
C.E.O. C.E.O., NO.
>>-- CCECE, NO.
>> YEAH, I LOVE CHEESE.
>> James: I DONE THINK THIS IS IS SONG IS WHETHER YOU LIKE
CHEESE OR NOT T IS JUST A LEGITIMATE PITCH THAT WENT IN
AND WE THOUGHT OH BRIE LARSON, SHE WILL FIND THIS HILARIOUS.
>> HER LAST NAME IS CHEESE.
>> James: NO, HER FIRST NAME IS CHEESE.
>> OH, RIGHT.
>> James: YOU CAN-- YOU WHAT?
DID WE ALSO PITCH THAT TO ALISON BRIE, SHUT UP, NO WE DIDN'T.
ARE YOU SERIOUS?
WE PITCHED IT TO BRIE LARSON AND TO ALLISON BRIE?
>> I MEAN I THINK YOU ARE DEVAL EWING THE-- DEVAL EWING IT.
>> James: I DON'T KNOW THAT I AM, LET'S HAVE ANOTHER ONE, THIS
PITCH T WASN'T A PITCH THAT WAS MADE WHEN THE LAST DANCE HAD
JUST COME OUT, THE HOTTEST SHOW ON TV AT THE TIME.
THIS IS JAY-Z'S BIG PIMPIN, IF IT WERE ALL ABOUT THE LEGENDARY

♪ BIG PIP.
♪ SCOTTEE P, CHECK HIM OUT NOW.
♪ BIG PIP, HE WILL BLOCK YOUR THREE.
♪ HE IS A BIG PIP IN THE 90 ITSEE.
♪ IT IS OKAY BUT HIS DEFENSE WAS KEY.
>> James: I LIKE IT, I DO.
I DON'T EVEN NEED TO ASK WHERE THAT CAME FROM.
IT CAME STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART OF CARMEL.
>> NO, THAT WAS LAUREN.
>> James: SHUT THE FRONT DOOR.
THAT IS A.
>> ONE OF THE GREATEST SMALL FORWARDS OF ALL TIME, HE HAD TO
HAVE HIS OWN.
>> THAT IS A GREEN BIRD JOINT.
>> James: I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THAT YOU HAD THOSE SORTS OF
RHYMES IN YOUR LOCKER.
>> THERE IS A LOT YOU DON'T KNOW, JAMES.
>> James: ALL RIGHT, NOW THIS NEXT ONE, YOU WON'T BELIEVE IT,
IS 100 PERCENT TRUE AND THIS SONG VERY NEARLY MADE IT ON THE
SHOW, A PARODY OF CARDI B'S I LIKE IT THAT WAS WRITTEN
ESPECIALLY FOR JIMMIE BUFFETT.
JIMMIE BUFFETT AGREED TO DO IT AND AT THE LAST MINUTE ON THE
DAY HE CANCELLED HIS APPEARANCE ON THE SHOW.
HE SAID HE WAS UNWELL.
-- WHETHER WE BELIEVE HIM ISN'T THE POINT, THIS IS IT'S JIMMIE
BUFFETT.
>> YEAH BABY.
♪ IT'S JIMMIE BUFFET.
♪ YOU GOT TO BELIEVE ME WHEN I TELL YOU.
♪ HE LIKES TEQUILA WITH A LIME.
♪ UNDER HE LIKES FISHING WITH A REAL.
♪ ALL HIS SHIRTS ARE HAWAIIAN.

ON HEARING IT A SECOND TIME DO YOU BELIEVE THAT JIMMIE BUFFETT
WAS SICK OR DO YOU BELIEVE THAT ON THE MORNING OF HIS APPEARANCE
HIS PUBLICIST PLAYED HIM THE SOJ AND HE WAS LIKE GET ME OUT OF
THIS SHOW RIGHT NOW?
>> I THINK IT WAS THAT ONE.
>> I'M AFRAID THAT PEOPLE THINK THAT THIS IS A BIT THAT WE CAME
UP WITH, WHERE WE JUST WROTE ALL THIS STUFF LAST WEEK.
>> James: NO.
>> TWO HOURS AWAY FROM DOING THAT ON THE SHOW.
>> James: TWO HOURS AWAY.
ME AND JIMMIE BUTCH ET IN HAWAIIAN SHIRTS, CROCS, I LIKE
IT LIKE THAT.
♪.
>> IT WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT.
>> James: WOULD IT?
(LAUGHTER) >> JUST TO BE QUICK, JIMMIE
BUFFETT BACKED OUT.
YOU WERE ON BOARD.
(LAUGHTER) >> WE WRITE A LOT OF STUFF AND
YOU KNOW, IT'S KIND OF A THROW IT AT THE WALL AND SEE WHAT
STICKS.
YOU ARE THE ONE WHO DECIDED THAT STUCK.
>> James: I HONESTLY NEVER EVEN SEEN IT LIKE THAT AND THEN
YOU ARE-- WOW.
THAT'S GIVE ONLY-- GIVEN ME A LOT TO THINK ABOUT.
THAT WAS PARODY SONGS, WORTH LESS THAN TEN SECONDS OF WHY YOU
ARE TIME, THANK YOU JIMMIE BUFFETT, THANK YOU FOR GETTING
ME OUT OF IT.

>> YOU HAVE THAT TYPE OF TALENT, I SEE AN IN-HOUSE BOWLING ALLEY.
>> James: YOU THINK I'M BOWLING ALLEY TALENT, HONESTLY.
>> YOU HAVE BOWLING ALLEY TALENT.
>> James: I NEVER HAVE CONSIDERED MYSELF A BOWLING
ALLEY TALENT.
I THOWLS THOUGHT, I THINK HAVE I GOT LIKE WALK-IN PANTRY TALENT,
DO YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
>> THAT IS GOOD.
>> James: I WILL SETTLE FOR THAT, I REALLY WOULD.
WHAT ELSE IS DOWN THERE WITH THE BOWLING ALLEY.
>> ON THE RECREATION LEVEL, YES.
>> James: HAVE HAVE I GOT RECREATION LEVEL TALENT OR JUST
BOWLING ALLEY TALENT.
>> RECREATION LEVEL.
>> James: NO, COME ON!
, WHAT ELSE IS DOWN THERE, EDDIE.
>> THERE IS AN ARKED CADE, A REALLY NICE ARCADE DOWN HERE
THAT YOU FIND LIKE YOU FIND IN THE MALL.
AND A MOVERY THEATER OVER HERE.
IT IS LIKE A LITTLE CLUB AREA WHERE, REMEMBER THAT MOVIE THE
JERK, HE HAD A LITTLE IN-HOUSE CLUB.
I HAVE A JERK CLUB.
>> James: I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF SOMEONE SAID TO ME
I HAVE JERK LEVEL TALENT BUT I DON'T THINK THAT IS WHAT THEY
WOULD MEAN.
EDDIE, I CANNOT TELL YOU, THIS IS SHOW 888 FOR US.
AND THIS IS HONESTLY THE FIRST TIME I FEEL LIKE I'VE BEEN IN
A-WE OF A GUEST ON THE SHOW, I CAN'T TELL YOU.
I'VE BEEN SUCH A FAN OF YOURS FOR SO LONG.
YOUR WORK MEANS SO MUCH TO ME AND SO MANY PEOPLE HERE IN THE
STUDIO.
BUT WHAT I DIDN'T REALIZE IS YOU STARTED DOING STANDUP WHEN YOU
WERE 15.
WHICH I CAN'T GET MY HEAD AROUND.
WHAT SORT OF SHOWS ARE YOU BOOKING AT 15?
>> BARS, THERE WERE BARS.
BAN WHEN I STARTED THERE WAS A SHOW CALLED THE GONG SHOW.
>> James: YEAH.
>> AND THAT MADE A BUNCH OF LOCAL BARS STARTED HAVING GONG
SHOW NIGHT, SO THERE WERE ALL THESE GONG SHOW NIGHTS I CAN
PLAY WHEN I WAS 15.
MR. HICKS PLACE AND THE DOLPHIN COVE.
>> James: AND WHAT SORT OF COMEDY ARE YOU DOING AT 15, WHAT
SORT OF MATERIAL WAS IT?
>> YOU KNOW, WHEN I FIRST STARTED, I DID MOSTLY
IMPRESSIONS.
I WAS ALWAYS A REALLY GOOD MIMIC.
AND WHEN I FIRST STARTED, THAT SAUL I DID WAS IMPRESSIONS.
SO THAT IS HOW LONG AGO IT WAS.
I DID JIMMIE CARTER IMPRESSION.
THAT IS HOW OLD I AM.
JIMMY CARTER, MUHAMMAD ALI AND HOWARDS COULDEL.
MOSTLY IMPRESSIONS.
>> James: WERE YOU BRILLIANT RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE OR DID YOU
EVER HAVE MOMENTS WHERE YOU BOMBED IN THOSE EARLY DAYS?
>> OH YEAH, EVERYBODY, I HAVE HAD MOAVMENTS THAT I WAS NOT
REALLY ABSOLUTELY WITHOUT QUESTION, YEAH.
NOT A LOT BUT-- .
>> James: WHAT IS THE WORST YOU BOWMED BACK THEN?
>> THE WORST I BOMBED EVER, I OPENED FOR MELISSA MANCHESTER.
I WAS PRETTY BAD THAT NIGHT.
I OPENED FOR TINY TIM, I WAS PRETTY BAD THAT NIGHT TOO.
THAT WAS A HARD CROWD, THAT IS A HARD CROWD TO WORK, THE TINY
TIM'S AUDIENCE.
>> James: I KNOW RICHARD PRYOR WAS A REAL INFLUENCE ON YOU, ONE
OF YOUR BIGGEST HEROES.
I REALLY LOVE THIS STORY.
THAT YOU FIRST MET RICHARD PRYER ON AN AIRPLANE, WHAT WAS THAT
LIKE FOR YOU, WAS HE AWARE OF YOU AND YOUR WORK AS A COMEDIAN
FOR THAT TIME.
>> YEAH, BECAUSE I HAD BEEN ON SATURDAY NIGHTLIFE LIVE FOR A
YEAR.
AND I MET HIM ON THE WAY FROM ATLANTA TO L.A
HE WAS ON THE PLANE.
AND HE WAS AWARE OF ME BUT I WASN'T LIKE A BIG [BLEEP], HE
WAS RICHARD, SO I HAD A COPY OF MIEF ALBUM, MY FIRST COMEDY
ALBUM.
I WENT OVER AND I SAID MR. PRYOR, I'M EDDIE, WILL YOU
LISTEN TO MY-- HE SAID OH YEAH, I KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
I GAVE HIM MY RECORD, HE PUT THE CASSETTE IN, PUT ON THE
HEADPHONES, I WAS SITTING BEHIND HIM WATCH HIM LISTEN TO MY
RECORD, THAT IS THE FIRST TIME MEETING HIM.
>> James: SO HE WAS LISTENING TO YOU WHALE YOU WERE ON THE
PLANE.
>> I WAS LIKE A COUPLE OF SEATS BEHIND HIM.
RICHARD WAS-- THAT IS RICHARD PRYOR'S WEIRD LAUGH
(LAUGHTER) LAUGH.
>> James: OH MY GOD, THAT MUST BE THE GREATEST FEELING EVER.
>> AFTERWARDS WHEN THE PLANE LANDED, HE HAD HIS DRIVER MET
HIM AT THE AIRPORT WITH HIS CAR.
AND HE SAID WHICH WAY ARE YOU GOING, I SAID I'M GOING THIS
WAY, HE SAID LET ME GIVE YOU A LIFT, HE DROVE ME TO THE HOTEL
WAY WAS SAYING AT.
THAT IS THE WAY I MET MY IDOL, LIKE THAT.
AMAZING.
>> James: THAT IS INCREDIBLE.
BECAUSE I CAN REMEMBER, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT IT ON THE SHOW
THIS MORNING, AND I WAS LIKE I CAN REMEMBER JUST WATCHING OVER
AND OVER AGAIN, WATCHING RAW AND WATCHING DELIRIOUS AND THOSE
SPECIALS MEANT SO MUCH TO ME.
AND I WENT BACK AND WATCHED THEM RECENTLY.
AFTER WATCHING COMING 2 AMERICA, I WENT BACK AND WATCHED THEM.
AND THEY ARE STILL AS BRILLIANT.
IT ALL HOLDS YOU KNOW.
BUT MY BIGGEST TAKE AWAY NOW IS I WAS LOOKING AT IT THINKING IF
I WAS WEARING HEAD TO TOE LEATHER ON A STAGE I WOULD BE IN
A POOL OF SWEAT, AT THE END OF THAT.
>> I'M NOT SWEATING AT ALL, NO SWEAT IN THE LEATHER SUIT.
THAT IS YOUTH, I WAS YOUNG, I WAS YOUNG AND I WASN'T SWEATING
A LOT SWRZ I FEEL LIKE IF I WORE LEATHER PANTS MY WIFE WOULD HAVE
TO ROLL ME OUT OF THEM AT THE END OF THE NIGHT.
IT WOULD BE THE SINGLE LEAST EROTIC THING.
I WOULD BE LIKE A SORT OF, SHE WOULD HAVE TO CUT ME, SHE WOULD
HAVE TO CUT ME OUT OF THEM TO RELEASE MYSELF FROM THE LEATHER.
>> NOW TALKING OF STANDUP, YOU HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS,
YOU ARE GOING BACK TO STANDUPMENT WHERE ARE YOU WITH
THIS, IS THIS SOMETHING THAT IS DEFINITELY GOING TO HAPPEN.
AND WHEN YOU DO RETURN, WILL THE LEATHER SUIT RETURN AS WELL?
>> I DON'T KNOW IF I WILL BE WEARING THE LEATHER SUIT, JAMES.
BUT THE PLAN, BEFORE THE PANDEMIC HIT, WHAT HAPPENED WAS,
LET ME GO BACK IN 2011 I KIND OF STOPPED MAKING MOVIES.
YOU KNOW, I'M TAKING A BREAK.
AND MAYBE SIX, SEVEN YEARS WENT BY.
AND THEN I KIND OF, MY BATTERIES GOT RECHARGED AND WAS LIKE OKAY,
I WANT TO DO STANDUP AGAIN.
I DIDN'T WANT TO JUST POP BACK OUT THERE DOING STANDUP.
I WANTED TO-- MAYBE DO A COUPLE OF MOVIES AND REMIND THEM THAT
I'M FUBBEE AND THEJ DO.
SO I DID DOLOMITE AND WENT BACK TO SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE AND DID
COMING 2 AMERICA.
RIGHT NOW THIS LAST YEAR WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE CLUBS
WORKING OUT AN ACT, BUT THE PANDEMIC HIT SO WE HAD TO PUSH
EVERYTHING BACK A YEAR.
BUT AS SOON AS IT IS SAFE FOR EVERYBODY TO GO BACK TO BE IN
THE ROOM, WANT TO DO THAT AGAIN.
AND THEN AFTER I DO THAT, I'M GOING TO GO BACK TO THE COUCH
AGAIN.
>> James: BACK DOWN TO THE RECREATION LEVEL.
NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT COMING 12 AMERICA.
IT IS THE NUMBER ONE STREAMED MOVIE THIS YEAR.
SUCH A SMASH, FOR ANYONE THAT A HASN'T CAUGHT UP WITH IT YET,
EXPLAIN WHERE THIS MOVE WREE PICKS UP.
>> THE ORIGINAL COMING 2 AMERICA ENDED ON A, AND THEY LIVED
HAPPILY EVER AFTER LIKE A FAIRY TALE.
AND THIS MOVIE IS THAT FAIRY TALE IS INTERRUPTED BY A VERY
MODERN PROBLEM.
THAT IS WHAT THE MOVIE IS ABOUT.
>> NOW YOUR DAUGHTER BELLA PLAYS ONE OF YOUR DAUGHTERS IN THE
MOVIE.
IT IS HER SCREEN DEBUT.
SHE DOES A FANTASTIC JOB IN THE FILM.
WHAT WAS IT LIKE HAVING HER ON SET, AND ARE ANY OF YOUR OTHER
KIDS, ARE THEY INTERESTED IN ACTING AND PERFORMING?
>> YEAH, A LOT OF MY KIDS HAVE AN INTEREST IN THE ARTS.
AND ARE ACTING, AND WRITING.
BEING ON THE SET WITH MY BABY GIRL, IT IS THE FIRST ONE OF MY
KIDS TO BE IN ONE OF MY MOVIES, YOU KNOW IF YOU HAVE CHILDREN
WHAT IT IS LIKE TO SEE YOUR KIDS DO ANYTHING.
BUT TO HAVE THEM COME TO WORK WITH YOU AND ACTUALLY BE
CONTRIBUTING AND DOING A GREAT JOB, I WAS FILLED UP EVERY DAY
JUST LOOKING AT HER AT WORK.
>> James: I CAN'T BEGIN TO IMAGINE WHAT THAT WOULD FEEL
LIKE.
IF MY SON.
>> YOU WOULD FEEL LIKE THE, IT'S AMAZING, IT WAS AN AMAZING
FEELING.
>> James: I FELT LIKE THAT THE OTHER DAY, MY YOUNGEST DAUGHTER
IS THREE.
SHE WENT TO THE BATHROOM ON TUESDAY NIGHT WITHOUT, ON A REAL
TOILET, NOT ON A POTTY.
AND I JUST WENT, I STARTED CRYING.
I WAS LIKE THIS IS THE MOST, THIS IS THE STUPIDEST THING
ANYONE DOES, OH MY GOD, THAT'S IT.
>> YEAH.
>> James: MY CHILD ON A POTTY, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.
>> SO IMAGINE HOW HER COMING TO WORK WITH YOU AND CONTRIBUTING.
>> James: I REALLY, REALLY CAN'T.
>> A MOMENTS OF PRIDE.
>> James: WELL, THE FILM IS BRILLIANT, WE HAVE A CLIP HERE,
YOU PLAY THREE CHARACTERS IN THIS CLIP WE HAVE HERE, TAKE A
LOOK AT COMING TO AMERICA WHICH IS OUT RIGHT NOW ON AMAZON
PRIME.
>> WE'RE ALL BE DAMNED.
LOOK WHO COME UP HERE.
>> SALMON AN BLOODS DIAMONDS.
>> MAN, DELI AND WINNIE.
>> IT IS SO GOOD TO SEE YOU, THE NEIGHBORHOOD SEEMS TO BE
THRIVING.
>> THAT IS THAT BEUT IF I KAITION.
WHEN THE COLOR MAN HAD THIS NEIGHBORHOOD, THEY DIDN'T HAVE
[BLEEP].
WHEN THE WHITE MAN MOVED IN THEY HAVE HOUSES AND DOG PARKS AND MY
FRIENDS ON FOX BOULEVARD IS WORTH $10 MILLION.
>> YOUR BROWNSTONE ISN'T WORTH $10 MILLION.
>> IT IS TOO, I WILL TELL IT AND GET ME A TESLA.
>> James: STICK AROUND.
MORE WITH EDDIE MURPHY WHEN WE COME BACK, EVERYBODY.
>> WE ARE BACK WITH THE ONE, THE ONLY EDDIE MURPHY, REGGIE, DO
YOU HAVE A QUESTION FOR OUR GUEST THIS EVENING.
>> YES, I DO.
TONIGHT'S QUESTION GOES TO LET'S MAKE IT FOR EDDIE MURPHY.
FIRST OF ALL, I CAN'T BELIEVE I ACTUALLY GET TO SAY THAT.
HUGE, HUGE INSPIRATION FOR ME.
BUT.
>> YEAH.
>> I JUST WANT TO TELL YOU, THERE IS A TIME WHEN I WAS AN
ORCHESTRA, AND WE WENT TON AN ORCHESTRA TRIP AND WE STAYED AT
A HOUSE BAH WE WERE PLAYING IN OTHER CITY AND WE PUT IN RAW,
THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME I EVER HEARD YOUR WHOLE THING.
AND WE JUST SAT AROUND THE SPEAKERS LIKE SIX NERDY
ORCHESTRA KIDS, LOSING OUR MINUTEDS AND THAT INSPIRED ME TO
GET VOFERRED IN DRAMA.
AND I DID SOME OF YOUR VERSIONS OF IMPRESSIONS AND SOME OF MY
DRAMA PIECES.
AND THEN I JUST GOT INTO COMEDY AND GOT INTO STANDUP, YOU KNOW,
YOU DEFINITELY OPENED THAT DR FOR ME, SO THANK YOU.
>> THAT'S BEAUTIFUL.

CALL A PERFECT COMEDY MOVIE IN MY MIND.
AND THERE WERE A LOT BACK THEN BUT THAT WAS ONE REALLY IN

THINK WE WILL EVER GET BACK TO SOME VERSION OF THAT GREATNESS.
>> IN WHAT, BEVERLY HILLS COP.

>> James: THAT GENRE OF FILM, THAT STYLE OF MOVIE, IS THAT
WHAT YOU MEAN.
>> Reggie: JUST THE IMPACT THAT IT HAD BECAUSE EVERYTHING
SORLT OF LINED UP PERFECTLY WITH THAT MOVIE WHEN IT CAME OUT?
>> I THINK MOVIES ARE BETTER NOW THAN THEY WERE BACK IN THE OLD
DAYS.
I THINK EVERYTHING GETS BETTER.
I THINK NOT JUST MOVIES, I THINK EVERYTHING IS BETTER.
>> I LIKE THAT VERY MUCH.
>> James: I LOVE THAT; IS THAT CORRECT, REGGIE.
