DIDN'T WE? WHERE WERE YOU?
>> I WAS JUST BEHIND THE COUCH. >> James: WE SHOULD HAVE
LOOKED BEHIND THE COUCH. >> I DIDN'T HAVE FAR TO TRAVEL
TODAY. >> James: LOOK.
YOU GO BACK AND MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME AS YOU ALREADY HAVE WE LOVE
YOU, REBEL WILSON, EVERYBODY! [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
HE'S AN INCREDIBLY TALENTED ACTOR, WRITER, PRODUCER, AND
DIRECTOR YOU KNOW FROM "INSTRUCTIONS NOT INCLUDED,"
"CODA," AND "HOW TO BE A LATIN LOVER," THE DELIGHTFUL, THE
DEBONAIR, EUGENIO DERBEZ! [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
EUGENIO, HOW ARE YOU? HOW NICE TO SEE YOU?

BLESS YOU FOR BEING HERE. THANK YOU FOR COMING OUT.
EVERYBODY DOING OK? GOOD FOR YOU.
HEY, YOU KNOW, REBEL WILSON'S
HERE, WHO WE LOVE. DO YOU KNOW ABOUT WHAT HER MOVIE
IS BACK "SENIOR YEAR?" REBEL WAKES UP FROM A 20-YEAR
COMA AND GOES BACK TO HIGH SCHOOL!
THAT'S MY IDEA OF ABSOLUTE HELL! IF YOU WENT BACK TO HIGH SCHOOL,
WHAT WOULD YOU DO? DO ANYTHING DIFFERENTLY?
>> NOT A DAMN THING. >> James: DO IT ALL THE
EXACTLY THE SAME THING? >> I LOVED HIGH SCHOOL.
I LOVED IT. I LOVED IT.
I WENT TO CLASS JUST ENOUGH. I CHEATED JUST ENOUGH.
I COULD GO TO SCHOOL, EAT TWO CHEESEBURGERS FOR LUNCH AND THEN
GO TO FOOTBALL PRACTICE AND IT WAS FINE SOMEHOW.
>> James: HANG ON, DID YOU ENJOY SCHOOL BECAUSE YOU WERE
REALLY GOOD AT FOOTBALL BECAUSE YOU WERE LIKE "THE DUDE" ON THE
FOOTBALL TEAM. >> I WAS LIKE THE BIG FAT GUY ON
THE FOOTBALL TEAM WHICH IS A DIFFERENT CLASSIFICATION.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? >> James: NOT THE QUARTERBACK?
>> I WASN'T DOING THE PECK THING.
I WAS DOING CARTMAN IMPRESSIONS AND DYING INSIDE.
>> James: THAT'S WHAT I MEAN. WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO GO BACK TO
THAT? >> BECAUSE I ENJOYED THAT.
>> James: OK. WOULD YOU GO BACK TO HIGH
SCHOOL, REG? >> Reggie: 100%.
>> James: REALLY? >> Reggie: I LOVED IT.
I HAD THE BEST HIGH SCHOOL EXPERIENCE.
>> James: I DON'T UNDERSTAND EITHER OF YOU!
>> YOU DIDN'T LIKE HIGH SCHOOL? YOU'RE CHARMING AND FUN AND --
>> James: I DIDN'T LIKE IT. I'VE NO INTEREST IN GOING BACK
TO IT. >> NOW WHEN I THINK ABOUT IT,
IT'S LIKE THE IDEAL EXISTENCE YOU SNIT A ROOM AND LEARN A
COUPLE OF INTERESTING -- YOU SIT IN A ROOM AND LEARN A COUPLE OF
INTERESTING FACTS, LIKE SCROLLING TWIT WITHOUT THE
VITRIOL. YOU GIVE SOMEONE A TICKET AND
THEY HAND YOU LUNCH AND THAT'S AS MUCH MONEY AS YOU NEED.
YOU WOULD SEE MOVIES AND THAT WOULD BE ENOUGH TO GET YOU TO
NEXT FRIDAY. I -- [BLEEP] MISS IT!
>> Reggie: LIKEWISE. >> James: LOOK, WE CAN TALK
AOUT THIS FOREVER, BUT IT'S THAT TIME, IT'S TIME FOR THE
NEWS! EARLIER TODAY, PRESIDENT BIDEN
MET WITH THE PRIME MINISTER OF ITALY AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
IT WAS MARIO DRAGHI'S FIRST TRIP TO WASHINGTON.
ITALY'S PRIME MINISTER, MARIO DRAGHI - OR AS JOE BIDEN CALLS
HIM, 'FREDDIE SPAGHETTI.' IT WAS A FRIENDLY MEETING.
BIDEN OPENED WITH, "WELCOME," OR AS THEY SAY IN YOUR COUNTRY,
"WHEN YOU'RE HERE, YOU'RE FAMILY."
THIS IS TRUE, BACK AT HOME, THE PRIME MINISTER IS FACING GROWING
DISSENT, EVEN FROM HIS OWN PARTY.
WHEN BIDEN HEARD THIS, HE WAS LIKE, "NICE, MAN.
ME TOO." IN OTHER NEWS, AS YOU KNOW, ELON
MUSK IS IN THE MIDDLE OF PURCHASING TWITTER.
WELL, TODAY, MUSK SAID THAT ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS HE WOULD DO
AFTER THE ACQUISITION GOES THROUGH IS LIFT THE PERMANENT
TWITTER BAN ON DONALD TRUMP. WE ARE LEAVING THIS SHOW IN THE
NICK OF TIME. MUSK EXPLAINED THAT PERMANENT
BANS SHOULD BE RESERVED FOR BOTS, SCAM, OR SPAM ACCOUNTS.
I COULD SAY IT'S SCAM. IT'S SCAM!
DONALD TRUMP IS A SCAM ACCOUNT. IT'S ALL A SCAM.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] ALL OF IT IS A SCAM!
SERIOUSLY, BANNING TRUMP IS LIKE THE ONE GOOD THING TWITTER HAS
DONE IN LIKE A DECADE. IT'S THAT, THE WHEELS VERSUS
DOORS DEBATE, AND THE TIME THAT ONE GUY SAID HIS COUSIN LOOKS
LIKE A HONEY BUN. THAT'S IT.
IAN, TRUMP BACK ON TWITTER: THE PLUSES AND MINUSES, GO.
>> Ian: IS IT OK YET TO SAY HOW FUNNY HE WAS ON THERE OR NO?
>> James: I THINK SOME PARTS OF AMERICA YOU CAN SAY THAT.
>> Ian: YEAH. >> James: I DON'T GET THE
FEELING THAT THIS IS ONE OF THEM.
>> Ian: DOES ONE OF THESE CAMERAS GO DIRECTLY TO THE PART
OF AMERICA WHERE IT'S OK TO SAY THAT.
>> James: I THINK ALL OF THESE CAMERAS DIRECTLY SAY THAT.
>> Ian: HE'S PRETTY FUNNY. I DON'T AGREE WITH HIM
POLITICALLY, BUT YOU GOTTA ADMIT, LIKE 40% OF THE TIME,
YOU'RE LIKE, OH -- OK, ACTUALLY. [LAUGHTER]
>> JAMES: AND TODAY WAS THE OFFICIAL STATE OPENING OF
PARLIAMENT IN LONDON, AND FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, PRINCE
CHARLES DELIVERED THE SPEECH IN THE QUEEN'S PLACE.
AND BEFORE YOU ASK, YES, HE DID IT IN HER VOICE.
[LAUGHTER] THE QUEEN HAS ONLY MISSED THE
EVENT TWICE IN HER REIGN. IN 1959 AND 1963, BOTH TIMES
WHILE SHE WAS PREGNANT. SO, CONGRATULATIONS YOUR
MAJESTY! [APPLAUSE]
CAN WE SEE THAT PHOTO OF PRINCE CHARLES AGAIN?
LOOK AT THAT, THERE ARE ONLY TWO GROUPS OF PEOPLE THAT COULD PULL
OFF THAT LEVEL OF BLING. ONE IS THE MONARCHY.
THE OTHER... MIGOS. >> JAMES: MOVING ON, NETFLIX HAS
ANNOUNCED IN AN INTERNAL MEMO THAT THEY WILL BE INTRODUCING
ADS TO THEIR PLATFORM SOONER THAN ORIGINALLY INDICATED.
AS SOON AS OCTOBER. UNFORTUNATELY FOR NETFLIX, MOST
OF THOSE ADS ARE GOING TO BE FOR HBO MAX.
I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THIS. I DON'T KNOW IF MY NERVES CAN
HANDLE A COMMERCIAL BREAK RIGHT BEFORE FINDING OUT IF SOMETHING
IS OR IS NOT CAKE. I CAN'T -- HAVE YOU SEEN THAT
SHOW? IS IT CAKE?
HAVE YOU SEEN IT YET? IT'S AN HOUR!
WHO'S GOT THE MOST -- IS ANYONE HERE WHO WORKS ON THE SHOW
SHARING A NETFLIX ACCOUNT THEY HAVEN'T PAID FOR?
BE HONEST. BE HONEST.
DAVE -- NO! CECE!
NO! NOT THE CHUCKLE BROTHERS.
LOOK AT THIS. YOU'VE EVEN STARTED DRESSING
LIKE EACH OTHER. LOOK AT THIS.
SEE? >> WE'RE TURNING INTO ONE
PERSON. >> James: YOU ABSOLUTELY ARE.
DAVE, WHOSE ACCOUNT ARE YOU STEALING?
>> I USE MY MOM'S. >> James: CECE, WHOSE ARE YOU
STEALING? >> I USE MY DAD'S.
[LAUGHTER] >> JAMES: AND FINALLY, DID YOU
GUYS HEAR ABOUT THIS? THERE'S A NEW MUSICAL PREMIERING
EXCLUSIVELY ON TIKTOK LATER THIS MONTH, FEATURING DOJA CAT AND
DOLLY PARTON. IT'S BEING PRODUCED BY TACO
BELL, AND IT'S CALLED, "MEXICAN PIZZA: THE MUSICAL."
SO, THIS IS HOW I FIND OUT I DIDN'T GET THE ROLE OF CHEESY
GORDITA CRUNCH? I NAILED THAT AUDITION!
A MUSICAL PREMIERING EXCLUSIVELY ON TIKTOK.
SO IF YOU GET BORED, YOU ALWAYS HAVE THE OPTION TO SWIPE UP AND
WATCH A DENTAL ASSISTANT DOING THE "MY MONEY DON'T JIGGLE
JIGGLE" DANCE. I WISH TACO BELL THE BEST, I DO,
BUT A RESTAURANT PUTTING ON A MUSICAL DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK OUT.
I HOPE IT GOES OVER BETTER THAN THIS ONE, "THE BURGER KING & I."
AND THAT'S THE NEWS WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK EVERYBODY.
>> JAMES: WHEN I HEARD ABOUT REBEL WILSON'S NEW MOVIE SENIOR
YEAR, I REALIZED IT WAS THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO DO
SOMETHING WE SHOULD HAVE DONE LONG AGO, CROWN A LATE, LATE
SHOW PROM KING. TAKE A LOOK.
>> SO THE SHOW IS ELECTING A PROM KING, AND CERTAIN PEOPLE
HAVE GOTTEN REALLY INTO IT. >> LATE LATE SHOW, VOTE FOR
ANDREW FOR PROM KING. THAT'S ME
>> WHO WANTS CUPCAKES? >> DID YOU SEE LOU'S HANDING OUT
CUPCAKES? >> I THINK I SHOULD BE PROM
KENG. I'M TALL AND PLAYED FOOTBALL IN
HIGH SCHOOL. >> I'M RUNNING FOR PROM KING
BECAUSE I'M TALL AND I PLAYED FOOTBALL IN HIGH SCHOOL.
>> DUDE! >> EVERYONE WANTS TO BE PROM
KING, BUT ONLY I WILL BE PROM KING!
>> NICK, VOTE FOR ME OR YOU'RE FIRED.
>> I SHOULD GET TO RUN FOR PROM KING.
IT'S COMPLETELY SEXIST THAT I CAN'T.
>> YOU CAN. >> I CAN'T.
OH WELL, THEN I DON'T WANT IT. >> I DIDN'T KNOW WE'RE DOING THE
PROM THING KING TODAY. I THOUGHT I'D PUT THIS CROWN ON,
AND, DAMN, I LOOK GOOD! [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
>> JAMES: THE CAMPAIGNS HAVE ENDED, THE VOTES HAVE BEEN
TALLIED, BUT WHO WILL BE CROWNED "THE LATE LATE SHOW" PROM KING?
HERE TO JUDGE WHICH "LATE LATE SHOW" STAFF MEMBER SPARKLES
BRIGHTEST OF THEM ALL, IT'S REBEL WILSON REBEL ENTERS.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
REBEL. >> HI.
>> James: HOW ARE YOU? NICE TO SEE YOU.
WE'RE SO HAPPY YOU'RE HERE.
TELL ME, BEFORE WE BRING OUR FINALISTS OUT, WHAT DO YOU LOOK
FOR IN A PROM KING? >> BANK BALANCE?
>> James: OK, THAT'LL BE A STRUGGLE HERE TO BE HONEST.
>> YOU DON'T PAY THEM THAT MUCH? >> I DON'T PERSONALLY PAY THEM.
IT'S VERY MUCH A NETWORK -- >> OH, YEAH
YEAH. >> James: THAT'S THE ISSUE.
THAT'S THE ISSUE. WE FEEL READY.
LET'S BRING OUT THE FINALISTS. PLEASE WELCOME FUMI, JOHNNY,
MICHAEL AND NICK! [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
>> YEAH, BRING IT ON! >> James: IT'S LIKE THE WORST
BOY BAND I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE.
WOW. THIS IS INCREDIBLE!
LOOK AT YOU ALL. I SHOULD SAY -- THIS IS
IMPORTANT -- I DON'T CONSIDER NICK OR FUMI EVER WHEN I MEET
THEM OR ARE AROUND THEM TO BE SHORT MEN.
THEY'RE NOT. BUT UNFORTUNATELY, WHEN YOU
STAND THEM BETWEEN MICHAEL AND JOHNNY, NO ONE LOOKS LIKE THEIR
REGULAR SIZE. REBEL, NOW, YOU'VE PREPARED A
QUESTION. YOU WILL ASK EACH FINALIST ONE
QUESTION TO DETERMINE WHO TRULY HAS THE SOUL OF A PROM KING.
LET'S START WITH MICHAEL. >> OK, MICHAEL.
HI. >> HI, REBEL.
>> UM, HOW WOULD YOU USE THE TITLE OF "PROM KING" TO MAKE THE
WORLD A BETTER PLACE? >> OH.
THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. >> THAT'S AN AMAZING QUESTION
AND I WOULD LIKE TO -- I WOULD LIKE TO FIRST SAY JUST AS PROM
KING, YOU KNOW, NO ONE IS PERFECT, BUT AS I STRIVE TO MAKE
THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE, THE FIRST THING I WILL IMPLEMENT IS
ANYONE THAT USES A MICROWAVE AND MICROWAVES BROCCOLI AND CHEESE
WILL BE SENT TO THE GUILLOTINES. >> James: WOW.
WOW. I FEEL LIKE --
>> IT'LL MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE.
>> James: FEEL LIKE MICHAEL IS BRINGING SOME OF HIS OWN ENERGY
FROM THE BREAK ROOM WITH THIS ONE.
>> YEAH. >> James: LET'S GO TO YOUR
QUESTION FOR NICK. >> NICK, HI.
>> James: THANK YOU FOR BRINGING IN YOUR OWN TUX, NICK.
WE REALLY APPRECIATE IT. >> YEAH, WOW.
PROM KING SHOULD BE MORE THAN JUST A PRETTY FACE.
BESIDES YOUR FACE, WHAT'S YOUR BEST FEATURE?
>> OH, GOOD QUESTION. >> UM, MY BEST FEATURE IS I'M A
GOOD SPORT AND I SAY THAT BECAUSE THIS IS ONLY LIKE THE
FOURTH WEIRDEST THING I'VE DONE ON THIS SHOW.
>> James: HA-HA. [APPLAUSE]
OK. LET'S GO TO JOHNNY.
>> JOHNNY, THE PROM KING MUST BE HONEST SO WHAT'S YOUR GREATEST
WEAKNESS? >> I WOULD SAY MY GREATEST
WEAKNESS IS I'M VERY CRITICAL OF MYSELF.
I WANT EVERYTHING I DO TO BE PERFECT.
I'M VERY HARD ON MYSELF. >> GOOD ANSWER.
>> James: YOU WANT EVERYTHING TO BE PERFECT?
>> YEAH. >> James: DOESN'T ALWAYS FEEL
LIKE THAT IN YOUR WORK LIFE, JOHNNY, BUT I'M PLEASED TO HEAR
THAT. IN THE SEVEN YEARS YOU'VE WORKED
HERE, I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER HEARD ANYONE GO, OH, THAT'S THE
PROBLEM WITH JOHNNY. HE'S JUST A PERFECTIONIST!
[LAUGHTER] HE JUST WANTS IT PERFECT.
ALL RIGHT. LET'S GO TO FUMI.
>> FUMI, THE PROM KING SHOULD HAVE A REALISTIC SELF-IMAGE.
WHO WOULD PLAY YOU IN A MOVIE? >> OH.
OH. THAT'S AN EXCELLENT QUESTION.
UM, I WOULD SAY -- I WILL GO WITH MERYL STREEP, BECAUSE I
FEEL SHE'S AMAZING AND I THINK SHE COULD REALLY CAPTURE THE
ETHOSES OF WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE A 32-YEAR-OLD HORNY ASIAN MAN.
>> SHE IS A GOOD ACTRESS. >> James: SHE'S A VERY GOOD
ACTRESS. >> SHE'S A GOOD ACTRESS.
YEAH. >> James: REBEL, WE'VE HEARD
FROM THEM ALL. IT'S TIME FOR YOU, REBEL, TO
DECLARE WHO DO YOU THINK IS THE LATE, LATE PROM KING?
>> OK. FIRSTLY, I JUST WANT TO THANK
EVERYBODY FOR THEIR ANSWERS. [LAUGHTER]
FOR GETTING ALL DRESSED UP, BUT ONLY ONE SHALL BE NAMED THE
LATE, LATE SHOW PROM KING. AND THAT PERSON WILL BE NICK!
>> James: OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH!
CONGRATULATIONS, NICK. STAY THERE.
NICK BERNSTEIN -- REBEL, PLEASE COME -- YOU ARE.
REBEL, HANG ON. PLACE ON THE SASH, NICK.
YOU'RE THE LATE, LATE PROM CONNECT WELL DONE.
HUGE MOMENT HAVE -- -- PROM KING.
WELL DONE. HUGE, HUGE MOMENT WITH MOM AND
DAD. YOU CAN'T HAVE A PROM KING
WITHOUT MUSIC. ♪ ALL MY LIFE, I WANTED SOMEONE
LIKE YOU ♪ AND I THANK GOD THAT I'VE --
THAT I'VE FINALLY FOUND YOU ♪ >> James: TIME TO TAKE YOUR
RIGHTFUL PLACE ON THE PROM KING'S THRONE.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE LATE, LATE PROM KING, NICK BERNSTEIN
♪ AND I KNOW THAT YOU FEEL THE SAME WAY TOO.
>> James: OUR THANKS TO REBEL. WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
>> James: WELCOME BACK, LET'S
MEET OUR GUESTS TONIGHT. AND PRODUCER OF "SENIOR YEAR,"
REBEL WILSON! [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
GOOD TO SEE YOU. HE'S THE STAR AND PRODUCER OF
"THE VALET," EUGENIO DERBEZ! [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
>> James: THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
THANK YOU FOR COMING TO SEE US. REBEL, THANK YOU FOR CROWNING
NICK BERNSTEIN PROM KING OVER THERE.
LOOK AT HIS LITTLE FACE. BLESS YOU BOTH FOR BEING HERE.
EUGENIO THIS WEEKEND IN MIAMI WAS THE INAUGURAL FORMMA 1 RACE
-- FORMULA 1 RACE OVER THERE. LOOKED LIKE AN INCREDIBLE DAY.
WHAT I DIDN'T KNOW IS YOU USED TO OWN A FORMULA 3 RACING TEAM.
>> YES. >> James: I CAN'T BELIEVE
THAT. BEING AN OWNER OF A TEAM AS
GLAMOROUS AS IT SOUNDS? >> NOT AT ALL.
>> James: REALLY? WHY?
>> THEY INVITED ME TO BE PART OF THIS.
I LOVED ALWAYS CARS SINCE I WAS A KID.
I ALWAYS WANTED TO RACE A CAR. SO WHEN THEY TOLD ME ABOUT THIS,
THEY SAID IF YOU INVEST IN THIS, YOU CAN EVEN RACE A CAR.
SO I WAS LIKE, HM. HM.
SO THEY FINALLY CONVINCED ME. SO I REMEMBER THE FIRST DAY I
WENT TO TRAIN, AND I WAS IN MONTEREY IN MEXICO TRAINING IN
THE CIRCUIT. IT WAS ONE OF THE WORST DAYS OF
MY LIFE. >> James: WHY?
>> BECAUSE YOU IMAGINE THAT THE CARS ARE -- YOU KNOW, AMAZING!
AND THEY'RE NOT! IN ORDER TO BE FAST, THEY GET
RID OF ALL THE LUXURY. THEY DON'T HAVE THE SHOCK
ABSORBERS AT ALL. >> NO CUP HOLDERS OR ANYTHING?
>> NO. >> I WOULD HATE THAT.
>> James: YOU'RE THAT FAR FROM THE GROUND.
>> NO A/C, NOTHING! YOU CAN FEEL EVERY PEBBLE IN THE
PAVEMENT. >> James: OH WOW.
>> IN YOUR BUTT. >> James: YEAH.
>> YOU CAN FEEL EVERY CRACK IN YOUR CRACK.
>> James: WOW. SO YOU DON'T RECOMMEND IT?
YOU DON'T RECOMMEND OWNING A TEAM?
>> YOU'RE LIKE IN A COFFIN ALREADY.
LIKE YOU CAN'T MOVE. THERE'S NO HYDRAULIC STEERING OR
ANYTHING. AFTER MANY, MANY LAPS, I STARTED
VOMITING. >> James: THAT'S WHAT YOU
THOUGHT YOU'D GET OUT OF THE TEAM?
>> AT THAT MOMENT, I COULDN'T, SO I STAYED THERE LIKE FOR FIVE
YEARS, BUT -- AND THEN EVERY CRASH WAS A LOT OF -- MILLIONS
AND MILLIONS OF PESOS. >> James: THAT'S A LOT OF
MONEY. >> STILL.
>> James: I DON'T THINK ANYONE HERE IS GOING TO -- I DON'T
THINK ANYONE HERE IS GOING TO INVEST IN SUCH A THING.
>> NAH! >> James: REBEL, YOU'RE A HUGE
SPORTS FAN. HUGE FAN OF THE L.A. RAMS.
WE SAW EACH ANOTHER AT A GAME. >> YEAH.
YEAH. >> James: YOU'RE BIG INTO
FOOTBALL. >> LIKE SO BIG.
>> James: YOU STRUCK UP A FRIENDSHIP -- LOOK AT YOU HERE
AT THE OSCARS WITH MATT STAF STAFFORD.
>> YEAH. I MEAN, I WAS THE OFFICIAL L.A.
RAMS AMBASSADOR. THEN THEY WON THE SUPER BOWL.
SO I DON'T WANT TO SAY I WAS THE LUCKY CHARM, BUT.
>> James: THEY DIDN'T WIN THE SUPER BOWL WHEN YOU WEREN'T THE
AMBASSADOR. >> IT WAS AWESOME TO GET TO KNOW
THEM AND HANG OUT. WE WERE IN THE OSCARS "VANITY
FAIR" PARTY TOGETHER. I NOTICED A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T
RECOGNIZE THE FOOTBALL PLAYERS BECAUSE THEY'RE NORMALLY HEARING
HELMETS ON TV. WE WERE LIKE, HEY, THAT'S LIKE
L.A. RAMS. >> James: I KNEW THEY WERE
RAMS BECAUSE ONE OF THEM WAS HUGE AND THEN YOU WERE TALKING
TO THEM. I REMEMBER SAYING TO MY WIFE
THAT THEY'RE 100% L.A. RAMS PLAYERS, BECAUSE LOOK AT HOW
EXCITED REBEL IS AND SHE'S NOT EXCITED ABOUT ANY ACTOR HERE.
>> I DON'T GET EXCITED BY LEO DICAPRIO BUT L.A. RAMS, YES!
THEY'RE CHAMPIONS. >> James: EUGENIO, YOU'RE HERE
ON STAGE WITH THE CAST OF "CODA" WHEN YOU WON BEST PICTURE.
TELL ME -- [APPLAUSE]
-- WHAT DID THAT MOMENT MEAN TO YOU?
>> OH, THAT WAS PROBABLY ONE OF THE BEST NIGHTS OF MY LIFE.
YOU SEE ME -- I WAS LOOKING TO THE SKY.
I WAS LOOKING TO A GUY THAT WAS ON TOP OF -- NO, I WAS -- I WAS
THANKING MY MOM, BECAUSE WHEN I WAS -- I WAS A KID, I USED TO GO
TO THE MOVIE THEATERS VERY OFTEN WITH MY MOM.
EVERY WEEKEND, WE WOULD WATCH TWO OR THREE MOVIES A DAY,
SOMETIMES FOUR. AND WE ALWAYS WATCHED THE OSCARS
TOGETHER, SO -- AND I ALWAYS TOLD HER THAT I WOULD LIKE TO BE
THERE SOME DAY. I WOULD LIKE TO BE A
STORY-TELLER.pWHEN I FINALLY WAI COULDN'T BELIEVE -- WHEN I WAS A
KID, I WAS WATCHING THAT STAGE FROM MY HOUSE.
SO I LOOKED TO THE SKY. I SENT HER A KISS.
>> James: AW! THAT IS SO -- I'M SO PLEASED YOU
HAD THAT MOMENT! SO GORGEOUS!
REBEL, EARLIER IN THE SHOW, WE CROWNED OUR LATE, LATE SHOW PROM
KING. >> WHICH IS KIND OF LIKE THE
OSCARS. >> James: VERY SIMILAR.
IT'S CERTAINLY NICK'S ACADEMY AWARDS.
LOOK AT HIM THERE, JUST RIGHT THERE RIGHT NOW.
YOU SENT US A PHOTO -- >> YEAH.
>> >> James: THIS IS REBEL WILSON
AT HIGH SCHOOL. TALK TO ME.
WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT HERE? WHAT IS HAPPENING?
>> THAT'S ME WITH MY FRIENDS, ANNA AND ZAHRA IN MY SWEET 16TH
BIRTHDAY PARTY. THIS PARTY WAS THE MOST EPIC
HIGH SCHOOL PARTY YOU COULD EVER IMAGINE.
IT WAS LIKE THE MOVIES. THEY SHOULD MAKE A MOVIE ABOUT
IT. 30 MINUTES BEFORE THE PARTY
STARTED, A BUSLOAD OF GAY CRASHERS CAME.
A BUS. A BUS.
HOW DID THEY EVEN GET A BUS TO MY HOUSE?
BUT THEY DID. THEN THE COPS WERE CALLED THREE
TIMES IN THE NIGHT. >> James: STOP!
>> PEOPLE WERE GETTING PUNCHED. PEOPLE WERE LIKE -- IT WAS LIKE
INSANE. IT WAS LIKE ONE OF THOSE PARTIES
WHERE IT WAS JUST LIKE CHAOS. LUCKILY, MY PARENTS BARRICADED
THE HOUSE SO THAT THE HOUSE WASN'T DESTROYED, BUT ALL I
REMEMBER IS I GOT PRETTY UPSET BECAUSE OF SOME OF THE BAD
THINGS THAT WERE HAPPENING. SO I WENT TO BED AT MIDNIGHT.
I REMEMBER JUST WAKING UP AND LOOKING OUT THE BACK WINDOW AND
THERE'S JUST -- YOU COULDN'T SEE THE BACKYARD.
IT WAS JUST BOTTLES EVERYWHERE. MY MOM
JUST LIKE PUTTING THE BOTTLES INTO A BIG BAG ONE BY
ONE. I WAS AND LIKE, OH GOSH, WHAT --
BUT EVERYONE THOUGHT IT WAS THE MOST LEGENDARY PARTY AND TALKED
ABOUT IT FOR YEARS LATER. [APPLAUSE]
>> James: REBEL, WE GOT TO CONGRATULATE YOU ON YOUR
BRILLIANT NEW MOVIE "SENIOR YEAR."
FOR ANYONE WHO DOESN'T KNOW, TELL US WHAT IT'S ABOUT AND WHO
YOU PLAY. [APPLAUSE]
>> I PLAY A CHARACTER CALLED STEPHANIE.
SHE WAKED UP FROM A 20-YEAR COMA AND DECIDES SHE WANTS TO REDO
HER SENIOR YEAR IN HIGH SCHOOL. IT'S A SERIOUS DRAMA.
>> I HOPE THE ACADEMY RECOGNIZES YOUR WORK.
>> TO GET OUT OF THE A COMA, I'M LIKE, AH!
IT'S A COMEDY, GUYS. IT'S GOING TO BRING A LOT OF
CHEER. THERE'S LIKE CHEERLEADING AND
DANCING AND LOTS OF FUN STUFF. >> James: IN THE MOVIE, YOU
RECREATE THE ICONIC BRITNEY SPEARS MUSIC VIDEO "YOU DRIVE ME
CRAZY" WHICH LOOKS LIKE PHENOMENAL AMOUNT OF FUN DID YOU
ENJOY DOING THAT? >> OF COURSE!
ONE, I LOVE BRITTANY. I LOVE PAYING HOMAGE TO HER.
20 YEARS EARLIER IN 2002, SHE WAS THE BIGGEST STAR IN THE
WORLD. WE DID THE CRAZY VIDEO.
I HAVE THIS THING, I DON'T KNOW WHETHER YOU -- YOU DO A LOT OF
MUSICAL STUFF AS WELL. WHEN I'M DANCING, I JUST REALLY
LIKE TO GIVE IT. >> James: YEAH.
>> LIKE JUST GIVE MY ALL TO IT, AND THEN WHAT HAPPENS IS I FALL
OVER, AND SO IN THE BRITNEY SPEARS THING, THEY KEEP THE TAKE
WHERE I'M DANCING AND JUST LIKE LOVING IT AND LIKE DOING ALL THE
THINGS AND THEN I FALL FORWARD OUT OF FRAME, BUT THEN I LIKE --
THE SHOW MUST GO ON, SO I'M JUST LIKE -- AND I GET BACK INTO IT.
>> James: HAH! OF COURSE YOU DO.
>> BUT I DON'T KNOW WHY, IN DANCE ROUTINES, I ALWAYS FALL
OVER AND IN "PITCH PERFECT 2" WE WERE SHOOTING THE BIG FINALE
SEQUENCE AND I FALL NEVER FRONT OF LIKE 2,000 EXTRAS.
THEN I GOT SCOLDED FOR IT. THEY THOUGHT HE WAS DOING IT TO
BE FUNNY. I'M JUST LIKE, NO, I JUST GET SO
INTO IT THAT I JUST FALL OVER. >> James: BALANCE GONE.
>> BUT IN "SENIOR YEAR" THAT MADE THE FINISHED MOVIE SO --
>> James: OF COURSE, I THINK IT'LL BE A HUGE SUCCESS.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE CLIP FROM "SENIOR YEAR" WHICH
PREMIERS ON NETFLIX THIS FRIDAY. >> DR. JOHNSON TO THE THIRD
FLOOR. THE CHEERLEADER JUST WOKE UP.
>> OH, DON'T MEAN TO BE A BITCH BUT IS SHE A CHEER CAPTAIN?
>> SHE'S A CAPTAIN. >> DO YOU HAVE VON DUTCH JEANS
BECAUSE THIS IS REALLY UNFLATTERING.
WHAT ARE YOU STARING AT? HELLO!
IT'S VERY RUDE TO BE A STARE BEAR.
HELLO? STOP -- STOP DOING THAT!
WHY ARE YOU DOING IS THAT, YOU FREAKY OLD --
[BUMP] >> AND THE CHEERLEADER'S BACK
DOWN. CHEER CAPTAIN!
>> JAMES: STICK AROUND, MORE WITH THESE TWO WHEN WE COME
BACK.
>> JAMES: THAT WAS A CLIP FROM "THE VALET," WHICH PREMIERES MAY
20TH ON HULU. CONGRATULATIONS ON THE FILM.
FOR ANYONE WHO DOESN'T KNOW, TELL US WHAT IT'S ABOUT AND WHO
YOU PLAY. >> WELL, THIS MOVIE IS ABOUT A
VALET PARK ATTENDANT. HE GETS CAUGHT UP IN A PAPARAZZI
PHOTO WITH A MARRIED AND VERY WEALTHY GUY, AND HIS LOVER THAT
HAPPENS TO BE A VERY FAMOUS AND BEAUTIFUL ACTRESS, SO IT'S LIKE
-- IT WAS A VERY FUNNY STORY. IMAGINE IMMORTAL -- SOMEONE WHO
-- WHAT'S THE NAME OF THE KING OF THE PROM?
>> NICK. >> James: DON'T FORGET.
NICK. >> YES.
YES. IMAGINE NICK DATING SCARLETT
JOHANSSON OR MEGAN FOX. IT'S A VERY, VERY FUNNY MOVIE
WHERE THIS -- [LAUGHTER]
>> James: I THINK IF EITHER OF THEM ARE WATCHING TONIGHT, HE'S
GOT A SHOT. ABSOLUTELY.
THE FILM IS SUCH A GREAT -- IT'S SUCH A GREAT CONCEPT, AND YOU
HAVE AN INTERESTING RELATIONSHIP WITH VALETS.
THEY REALLY HELPED YOU WHEN YOU FIRST CAME TO LOS ANGELES.
>> OH YEAH. YEAH.
LET ME TELL YOU A STORY. UM, WHEN I CAME TO THIS COUNTRY
-- YOU KNOW, I DID MY ENTIRE CAREER IN MEXICO AND LATIN
AMERICA -- [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
MY SISTER AND MY COUSIN AND MY -- MY FAMILY!
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] THANK YOU.
SO.
>> James: HA-HA! >> WHEN I WOULD DO MY TV SHOWS
BACK THERE, THEY WERE REALLY FAMOUS IN MEXICO, BUT HERE,
NOBODY KNEW ME. SO I CAME FOR SOME MEETINGS, AND
WHEN I WENT TO THE STUDIOS TO MEET THE EXECUTIVES, THE
MEETINGS DIDN'T GO WELL. NOTHING HAPPENED.
I WAS LIKE -- I SWEAR THAT I HAVE A HUGE FAN BASE THAT WOULD
SHOW TO THE CINEMAS. THEY'RE LIKE, YEAH, WHATEVER.
I WENT ONE DAY WITH MY AGENTS TO THE RESTAURANT.
THE VALET PARKERS WERE LIKE, OH, I'LL PARK YOUR CAR HERE IN FRONT
OF THE RESTAURANT. THE WAITERS GAVE ME THE BEST
TABLE IN THE RESTAURANT. THEN THE COOK -- THE COOK -- THE
ENTIRE KITCHEN CAME OUT TO ASK FOR PHOTOGRAPHS.
THEY GAVE ME THE THINGS FOR FREE ON THE HOUSE.
EVERYONE IN THE RESTAURANT WAS LIKE, "WHO THE HELL IS THIS
GUY?" THEY STARTED TAKING TO PICTURES
WITH ME. I K DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE BUT U
SEEM TO BE FAMOUS. THE AGENTS ARE LIKE, WE NEED TO
CHANGE THE STRATEGY. NO MORE MEETINGS IN THE STUDIO.
FROM NOW ON, MEET EVERYONE IN THE RESTAURANT.
>> James: SUCH A GREAT PLAN! SUCH A GREAT PLAN!
ABSOLUTELY MAKES SENSE. >> THANKS TO MY PEEPS, I'M HERE
AND WORKING. >> James: THAT'S AMAZING.
REBEL, YOU USED TO -- YOU USED TO WORK IN A MOVIE THEATER?
>> I DID. I DID.
YEAH. >> James: WERE YOU GOOD THAT
THE? >> NO.
>> James: WHY? >> I WASN'T A VERY GOOD
EMPLOYEE. >> James: HA-HA.
>> I WOULD WATCH ALL THE MOVIES INSTEAD OF ACTUALLY WORKING.
>> James: RIGHT. >> I WOULD GET BUSTED BECAUSE I
WOULD BE IN THERE SITTING THERE AND WATCHING AND BEING LIKE, OH
YEAH. I WAS GOOD AT DESCRIBING TO
PEOPLE LIKE WHAT MOVIE THEY SHOULD GO AND SEE AND I COULD
DESCRIBE ALL THE MOVIES, BECAUSE I'D SEEN THEM ALL.
>> James: IF ME AND EUGENIO, WE'RE COMING TO THE MOVIES, WHAT
WOULD YOU -- HOW WOULD YOU SELL US ON A FILM?
>> UM, I WOULD JUST SAY LIKE, UM, "SENIOR YEAR" YOU GUYS
SHOULD GO TO SEE IT BECAUSE IT'S REALLY GOOD.
IT STARS, LIKE, REBEL WILSON. >> James: FEELS LIKE YOU'RE
JUST TRYING TO SELL YOURS. >> YEAH, THEN I WOULD JUST GO
LIKE THAT. NO.
I WOULDN'T. JOE ZIMMERMAN IS HERE WHEN WE
COME BACK, EVERYBODY.
>> JAMES: OUR NEXT GUEST IS A BRILLIANT STAND-UP COMEDIAN WITH
A BRAND NEW ALBUM, "COMEDY TO FALL ASLEEP TO."
PLEASE WELCOME BACK, THE HILARIOUS, JOE ZIMMERMAN.
♪ >> THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU.
I FINALLY KNOW WHAT I LOOK LIKE, BECAUSE I DID COMMERCIAL
AUDITIONS IN NEW YORK FOR TWO YEARS, AND I ONLY BOOKED ONE
ROLE. IT WAS RARE BOOK STORE OWNER.
[APPLAUSE] , AND THERE WAS NO WARDROBE.
THEY WERE JUST LIKE DRESS HOW YOU NORMALLY WOULD.
[LAUGHTER] ALL RIGHT.
I HAD A BIG BIRTHDAY THIS YEAR, AND I DON'T FEEL OLD, BUT I DID
RECENTLY IDENTIFY A BIRD. THAT CAN'T BE GOOD.
[LAUGHTER] IS THAT A WHIPPER-WHEEL?
WHY DO I CARE? AND WHY DO I HAVE BINOCULARS?
THIS BIRD BOOK SAYS IT IS A WHIPPER-WHEEL.
YES! GOT IT.
I ACTUALLY MET A PROFESSIONAL BIRD WATCHER.
HE GIVES BIRDING TOURS IN CENTRAL PARK.
I SAID, THAT SOUNDS LIKE A FUN JOB.
AND HE GOES, WELL, YOU GET A LOT OF EGOS.
[LAUGHTER] ARE WE STILL TALKING ABOUT
BIRDS? [LAUGHTER]
AND HE TOLD ME GUYS WILL BRAG ABOUT HOW MANY BIRDS THEY'VE
SEEN, AND THE BEST PART IS HOW THEY VERIFY THEY'VE SEEN A BIRD
IS THEY JUST SAY THAT THEY SAW IT.
[LAUGHTER] IT'S AN HONOR CODE, SO I'VE SEEN
EVERY BIRD. PROVE I HAVEN'T!
[LAUGHTER] OH YEAH, WHERE'D YOU SEE THE
CINNAMON BREASTED TOADY TYRANT? CALIFORNIA.
THEY ONLY LIVE IN TASMANIA. YEAH, I WAS SURPRISED.
[LAUGHTER] I WAS LIKE, WEIRD, HERE?
CHECK. [LAUGHTER]
BUT THEN I REALIZED YOU COULD HAVE MORE FUN IF YOU WENT TOO
LOW WITH YOUR NUMBER. THEY'RE ALL BRAGGING AND YOU'RE
JUST LIKE, THAT'S COOL. I'VE ONLY SEEN TWO BIRDS.
[LAUGHTER] WELL, YOU'VE SEEN MORE THAN TWO.
[LAUGHTER] I WISH!
[LAUGHTER] IT'S JUST BEEN PIGEONS AND CROWS
FOR ME. [LAUGHTER]
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN BIRDING? [LAUGHTER]
FOUR YEARS. I DON'T KNOW IF I'M LOOKING IN
THE WRONG PLACES OR WHAT? [LAUGHTER]
SO BAD AT IT, BUT I LOVE IT. [LAUGHTER]
I'VE SEEN CHICKEN NUGGETS, IF THAT COUNTS.
[LAUGHTER] HA-HA.
UM, SO I WAS LISTENING TO NPR AND I DON'T LIKE NPR AS MUCH AS
I LOOK LIKE I DO. [LAUGHTER]
BUT APPARENTLY, MEN AS WE GET OLDER HAVE A TOUGH TIME MAKING
CLOSE FRIENDS. AND I THOUGHT ABOUT T YEAH, IT
WAS SO EASY AS A KID. I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS SIX.
CRAIG MOVED IN NEXT DOOR. HE WAS SIX.
WE WERE LIKE, OH, THIS IS ALL WE NEED.
[LAUGHTER] AGE AND PROXIMITY.
BUT FRIENDS. IF SOME GUY MY AGE MOVES IN NEXT
DOOR TO ME NOW, I'M LIKE F THIS GUY TALKS TO ME, I WILL BE
FURIOUS. [LAUGHTER]
HE'S MAKING EYE CONTACT. I HATE HIM.
[LAUGHTER] WHEN YOU'RE A KID, IT'S SO EASY
TO HANG OUT. YOU JUST INVITE HIM OVER TO
PLAY. WE ALWAYS HAD SO MUCH FUN
PLAYING, WE WERE MAD TO BE CALLED FOR DINNER.
DO YOU REMEMBER LOVING LIFE THAT MUCH?
[LAUGHTER] THAT YOU'RE ANNOYED ABOUT
DINNER? [LAUGHTER]
ALWAYS ASKING TO BE EXCUSED. PLEASE, CAN I GO BACK TO MY
LIFE? [LAUGHTER]
HOW MUCH EATING DO WE HAVE TO DO IN THIS HOUSE?
[LAUGHTER] ALWAYS WITH THE EATING AND THE
TALKING. KIDS HATE MEALS AND BED TIME.
THAT'S ALL I HAVE NOW. [LAUGHTER]
I CALL THOSE THE BIG TWO. [LAUGHTER]
AND IF I EVER DO THINK TO HANG OUT WITH A MALE FRIEND, IT'S
NEVER PLAYFUL ANYMORE. IT'S ALWAYS LIKE, HEY, HAVEN'T
SEN YOU IN A WHILE. YOU WANNA EAT SOMETHING?
[LAUGHTER] BEST-CASE SCENARIO, THERE'LL BE
A BIG GAME ON TV WE DON'T EVEN HAVE TO SPEAK.
WE CAN JUST WATCH OTHER MEN PLAY.
[LAUGHTER] OH AND THEY'RE PLAYING WELL.
I LOVE THAT. [LAUGHTER]
I LOVE WHEN OUR FAVORITE MEN PLAY WELL.
[LAUGHTER] THEY ALWAYS PLAY BETTER WHEN
THEY PLAY TOGETHER. [LAUGHTER]
LET'S TOUCH HANDS. [LAUGHTER]
HEY, MAYBE AFTER THIS, WE COULD PLAY FOR OLD TIME'S SAKE?
YEAH, NO, YOU'RE RIGHT. I'M FULL, TOO.
WE ATE A LOT. YEAH.
[LAUGHTER] BED WOULD BE INCREDIBLE.
HA-HA. YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND.
[LAUGHTER] I'LL SEE YOU AGAIN IN FOUR YEA
YEARS. [LAUGHTER]
