IT WAS EVERYTHING WE NEEDED.
[LAUGHTER] ALWAYS COME THROUGH!
NOW, HERE'S THE NEWS FOR YOU...
EARLIER TODAY, PRESIDENT BIDEN SIGNED AN EXECUTIVE ORDER TO
BOOST THE MANUFACTURING OF MICROCHIPS HERE IN THE UNITED
STATES.
MICROCHIPS.
OR, AS WE CALL THEM IN BRITAIN, MICRO-CRISPS.
[LAUGHTER] BIDEN WAS BORN IN 1942 AND HE'S
BOOSTING MICROCHIP TECHNOLOGY.
IT'S LIKE YOUR GRANDPA DOING A TIKTOK DANCE WITH YOU.
-- [LAUGHTER]
JUST LIKE THAT.
[LAUGHTER] >> CAT'S OUT OF THE BAG.
SORRY.
SORRY THERE.
>> James: REGGIE, JUST CALLING UP ANOTHER KEYBOARD PLAYER.
IS THAT WHAT IT IS?
YEAH.
[LAUGHTER] BIDEN WAS BORN IN 1942 AND HE'S
BOOSTING MICROCHIP TECHNOLOGY.
IT'S LIKE YOUR GRANDPA DOING A TIKTOK DANCE WITH YOU.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
IT'S LIKE, "I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING!
IF IT'S IMPORTANT TO YOU, SWEETIE, IT'S IMPORTANT TO ME!"
[LAUGHTER] I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, THIS BOOST
OF MICROCHIPS, IF I STILL CAN'T GET A PLAYSTATION 5 AFTER THIS,
I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M GOING TO DO.
YOU GOT A PLAYSTATION 5?
>> NO, MAN.
THEY'RE NOT EVEN OUT THERE.
PEOPLE ARE STILL BUYING THEM UP AND HOLDING ONTO THEM LIKE
THEY'RE SNEAKERS.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
>> YOU CAN BUY MINE.
>> James: YOU OWN A PLAYSTATION 5?
>> I NEVER PLAY IT.
I PREFER THE XBOX CONTROLLER.
>> James: I MUCH PREFER AN XBOX CONTROLLER.
ARE WE OK TO TALK LIKE THIS?
>> IT'S YOUR LAST YEAR.
>> James: BOTH OF THESE COMPANIES MUST ADVERTISE ON CBS.
IF THEY DON'T, THE NETWORK IS IN WORSE TROUBLE THAN I THOUGHT.
>> BUT CBS IS WAY MORE XBOX ANY WAYS.
>> James: I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT.
>> BECAUSE SONY IS MORE LIKE, I DON'T KNOW, LIKE FALLEN OR
SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
>> James: HA-HA.
OK.
I'LL GIVE YOU THAT.
YEAH.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT.
I THINK IF WE COMPARE -- YOU KNOW, I'M MORE OF AN XBOX --
[LAUGHTER] -- AND HE'S MORE OF A
PLAYSTATION 5.
[LAUGHTER] AND I DON'T KNOW WHY THAT MAKES
SENSE, BUT IT DOES.
AND THE REST, THEY'RE ALL JUST LAPTOPS.
IN OTHER NEWS...
CALIFORNIA IS SET TO PHASE OUT SALES OF NEW GAS-POWERED CARS
OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT DECADE BECOMING THE FIRST STATE
TO TAKE SUCH AN AMBITIOUS STEP.
[APPLAUSE] >> YEAH.
>> James: IT'S A BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!
PRETTY SOON, THE ONLY DIESEL YOU'LL BE ABLE TO FIND IN
CALIFORNIA IS VIN.
[LAUGHTER] BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE IN
CALIFORNIA, NO ONE HERE FOLLOWS THROUGH WITH PLANS THEY MADE A
WEEK AGO, BUT SURE, THIS WILL TAKE EFFECT IN 2035.
OF COURSE IT WILL!
THE TARGET DEADLINE IS 2035.
I'LL BE LONG RETIRED BY THEN.
IF I CAN'T TRAVEL THERE BY SAILBOAT, WIND IN MY HAIR, LINEN
SHIRT OPEN TO MY BELLY BUTTON, APEROL SPRITZ IN MY HAND, I
AIN'T GOING BABE.
YOU WON'T FIND ME.
IAN, LET'S GO IN 50-50 ON A BOAT WHEN THE SHOW ENDS
>> YES!
YES!
>> James: WHERE ARE WE GOING TO MOOR IT.
>> I DON'T CARE.
A LAKE OR AN OCEAN.
I WAS AT THE LAKE ON VACATION, MY BROTHER HAS A BOAT.
I'M CONVINCED THE GOVERNMENT DOESN'T WANT ANYONE TO HAVE A
BOAT.
IT WAS ME AND THE WATER.
WE WERE LISTENING TO MICHAEL MCDONNELL.
I WAS SQUINTING AT STUFF IN A SATISFIED WAY.
IT WAS LIKE -- >> James: MARK?
MARK?
SORRY, YEAH, TURN WHATEVER PODCAST OFF WHAT YOU'RE
LISTENING TO.
[LAUGHTER] WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GET THE
INVITE ON YOUR BOAT?
WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GET THE INVITE?
>> WELL, I SOLD IT.
>> OH MAN!
NOT ANOTHER DIVORCE.
>> THIS WAS THE PRIOR DIVORCE.
>> James: SOLD IT?
SOLD IT?
YOU BUILT IT?
>> I BUILT IT AND SOLD IT IN 2003.
>> WHAT?
>> James: HANG ON, WE'VE ONLY BEEN ON SINCE 2015.
WE'VE -- >> YEAH.
>> James: WE'VE TALKED ABOUT YOUR BOAT COUNTLESS TIMES.
>> I KNOW.
IT'S JUST A MEMORY.
>> James: IT'S JUST A MEMORY -- HANG ON, SO YOU'RE BOATLESS
AT THE MOMENT?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
>> James: NO!
SO NO BOAT LIFE FOR YOU ANYMORE?
>> SHOULD WE GET HIM ONE?
>> James: LET'S BUY MARK -- NICK?
[APPLAUSE] >> I TAKE --
>> HOW LONG HAVE YOU WORKED HERE NOW, MARK?
HOW LONG HAVE YOU WORKED IN THIS BUILDING?
>> SINCE 1999.
>> James: SINCE 1999.
1999.
NICK, I THINK THE NETWORK SHOULD BUY MARK A BOAT!
[APPLAUSE] OK?
>> IT'S A GREAT IDEA.
>> James: HAVE YOU GOT THE JURISDICTION TO DO THIS?
>> HAVE I GOT THE JURISDICTION TO DO THIS?
>> James: WILL YOU DO THIS?
BUY HIM A BOAT OR DO I HAVE TO GO HELP YOU.
>> WHY DON'T YOU BUY HIM A BOAT?
YOU'RE THE ONE THAT MAKES ALL THE MONEY HERE.
>> >> James: I'M SOON TO BE
UNEMPLOYED, IF YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED.
YOU WANT TO BUY HIM A BOAT?
>> I'D RATHER HELP HIM BUILD A BOAT THAN BUY HIM A BOAT.
>> OOH.
>> James: I WOULD NEVER IN MY LIFE GET ON A BOAT THAT YOU'D
BUILT.
[LAUGHTER] I HONESTLY MEAN THAT.
I MEAN THAT.
AND YOU SHOULDN'T GET ON ONE THAT I'VE BUILT.
>> WE'VE HELPED BUILD THIS BOAT, THOUGH.
[A WWW] [APPLAUSE]
[LAUGHTER] [APPLAUSE]
>> James: OH GOD.
THAT GOT ME THERE.
[LAUGHTER] IT IS.
IT IS THE NOAH'S ARC OF LATE -- ARK OF LATE NIGHT.
LISTEN TO THIS STORY...
A UNITED AIRLINES FLIGHT SCHEDULED TO FLY FROM NEWARK TO
DENVER THE OTHER DAY, WAS DELAYED BY WEATHER - AND HAD TO
TAXI ON THE RUNWAY FOR SO LONG THAT IT WAS FORCED TO REFUEL.
THE FLIGHT WAS EVENTUALLY CANCELED NINE HOURS AFTER THE
PASSENGERS BOARDED.
>> WHAT?
>> James: YEAH!
ON THE BRIGHT SIDE, FREE NIGHT IN NEWARK!
HERE'S A STORY...
IF YOU PLAN TO BE HEADING TO ONTARIO ANYTIME SOON, LISTEN UP.
YOU CAN NOW SPEND THE NIGHT ON A BOAT SHAPED-LIKE THEODORE
TUGBOAT, A CHARACTER FROM THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE.
HERE HE IS HERE.
LOOK AT HIS FACE.
HE LOOKS LIKE HE KNOWS PEOPLE ARE GOING TO HAVE SEX INSIDE OF
HIM.
[LAUGHTER] IT'D BE FUN TO STAY IN THIS AND
THEN ANYTIME WALKS BY, JUST START YELLING HELP A WITCH
TURNED ME INTO A BOAT AND THE ONLY THING THAT CAN TURN ME BACK
IS, A KISS AND FINALLY, THE -- ANDREW?
ANDREW -- WHAT THE [BLEEP] MAN.
THAT WAS ALL ON YOU, BIG CAT.
WHAT HAPPENED?
BEFORE THE SHOW, I SAID TO ANDREW, I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THIS
STUCK INSIDE A TUGBOAT -- DO YOU THINK WE SHOULD CUT IT?
AND HE SAID, NO.
KEEP IT.
AND I SAID, WELL, ARE YOU GOING TO BE ON THE FLOOR?
HE SAID, NO.
I SAID, WELL COME DOWN.
IF IT DOESN'T WORK, I'M GOING TO CALL YOU OUT.
>> I'M A NEW WRITER'S ASSISTANT SO ALL AROUND, WE'RE WRITERS, SO
I'M A -- >> James: WHAT?
>> I WROTE IT.
I'LL TAKE CREDIT FOR IT.
>> James: HA-HA!
[APPLAUSE] HANG ON!
DID I DELIVER IT WRONG?
>> YEAH, YEAH, YOU HAD A LITTLE BIT OF A FLUB IN THE BEGINNING
OF IT.
[LAUGHTER] IF WE COULD ROLL THE TAPE BACK,
YOU'D SEE YOU KIND OF TRIPPED UP ON THE --
>> James: I DID DO A LITTLE TRIP.
I DID DO A LITTLE TRIP.
>> THAT RUINED THE WHOLE THING.
>> James: CAN WE TURN CAMERA 2 OR ONE ROUND SO NATE COULD SEE
THE JOKE AND THEN NATE DELIVER IT AS HE WANTED IT TO BE -- HE
THINKS I'M THE PROBLEM.
WE NEED TO GET A PROMPTER SO NATE COULD SEE IT.
DO YOU REMEMBER IT OFF THE DOME?
>> I SPENT A LOT OF TIME WITH THIS ONE THIS MORNING SO I
ACTUALLY DON'T NEED A SCRIPT.
>> James: NATE, HIT US.
>> IT WOULD BE FUN TO STAY IN THIS AND THEN ANYTIME SOMEONE
WALKS BY, JUST START YELLING "HELP, A WITCH TURNED ME INTO A
BOAT.
THE ONLY THING THAT COULD TURN ME BACK IS A KISS!"
[APPLAUSE] >> James: OH WAIT!
I'VE ACTUALLY GOT A GOOD NEWS FOR THIS.
[TUGBOAT HORN] THAT'S IT!
AND FINALLY, THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA IS
LOOKING FOR A NAME FOR THEIR LIVE ROOSTER MASCOT.
NOW, IF YOU DON'T KNOW, THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA
SPORTS TEAMS ARE KNOWN AS THE "GAMECOCKS."
PEOPLE ARE CURRENTLY VOTING FOR THE ROOSTER'S NAME AND SO FAR,
THE LEADING CONTENDER IS, "COCK COMMANDER."
[LAUGHTER] "COCK COMMANDER" IS A GREAT
OPTION IF THEY ALSO WANT TO GET HIM AN ONLY-FANS ACCOUNT.
[LAUGHTER] THIS IS TRUE, OTHER NAMES BEING
CONSIDERED FOR THE ROOSTER INCLUDE,
MARCO POLLO...
AND CLUCK NORRIS.
ANYONE GOT ANY OTHER ITEMS?
ANYONE?
YOU GOT ONE?
GO ON.
WHAT WOULD YOU GO FOR?
>> ROOSTER WAINWRIGHT.
>> James: ANYONE ELSE?
>> Rob: DWAYNE "THE COCK" JOHNSON.
>> James: THAT'S VERY GOOD!
VERY GOOD!
ANYONE ELSE?
GOT ONE.
REG, YOU GOT ONE?
GO ON.
>> Reggie: BIG COCK.
[APPLAUSE] >> James: WE'LL FIND OUT THE
NAME.
THE NAME -- WE FIND OUT THE NAME SEPTEMBER 3rd.
I HOPE THEY STICK WITH IT.
IF THEY'VE OPENED A POLL AND THE PEOPLE HAVE VOTED AND THEY VOTE
FOR COCK COMMANDER, THEY SHOULD HONOR THE VOTE.
>> 100%.
>> James: OTHERWISE AS WE GO INTO MIDTERMS AND THEN AN
ELECTION CYCLE, IT'LL -- YOU'VE GOT TO -- YOU CAN'T LET PEOPLE
VOTE AND GO, OH NO, YOU VOTED FOR COCK COMMANDER BUT WE'RE NOT
GOING TO HAVE COCK COMMANDER.
>> YOU'RE SAYING YOU THINK THIS WILL UNDERMINE FAITH IN THE U.S.
ELECTORAL SYSTEM.
>> James: I THINK THESE THINGS DON'T HELP -- YEAH, IS WHAT I'M
SAYING.
>> IT'S A STEADY EROSION.
>> James: I WON'T CALL THE MASCOT "COCK COMMANDER" BECAUSE
FOR ME, THAT NAME BELONGS EXCLUSIVELY TO PETE.
THAT'S THE COCK-A-DOODLE NEWS.
WE'LL BE BACK WITH REGINA HALL AND STERLING K. BROWN!

YOU HAD A VERY BUSY SUMMER.
YOU WENT TO EUROPE, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC AND MOVED YOUR HOUSE
THIS SUMMER.
WHAT'S BEEN THE HIGHLIGHT OF THIS WHOLE SUMMER?
>> THEY'RE ALL GOOD BUT I LIKED GOING TO CANNES.
THEY WERE PARTYING ON THE STREETS, AND I JUST -- I DID GET
COVID, BUT OUTSIDE OF THAT, I HAD THE MOST ENJOYABLE TIME.
>> James: WHAT SORT OF STUFF?
WHAT WERE YOU GETTING OUT TO?
>> I WAS PARTYING AND DRINKING.
>> James: YOU WERE DRINKING THE WHOLE TIME?
>> YEAH.
I ATE AND I SAW PEOPLE WHO I DIDN'T KNOW.
PEOPLE COME UP TO YOU AND KISS NEW CANNES.
>> DID YOU MAKE SWEET LOVE IN CANNES?
>> THAT WASN'T GOING TO BE MY QUESTION.
>> NOT ON COVID.
>> IS THAT WHAT PEOPLE THAT SAY SALMON DO?
I JUST WENT AND PARTIED AND I WORKED.
>> James: WERE YOU AT THE FILM VESTAL?
>> NO.

>> NO.
NO.
I WAS AT -- UM, BUT SOMETHING RELATED.
NO.
YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S CALLED.
IT'S THE THING FOR THE PEOPLE -- >> YOU KNOW THE THING --
>> THE BUYERS.
SO NOT THE FILM FESTIVAL.
IT'S CANNES, THE OTHER ONE.
WHAT -- YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.
>> James: I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT BUT I DO
REALIZE NOW HOW DRUNK YOU WERE WHEN YOU WERE THERE.
THE THING THAT YOU CANNOT EVEN RECALL -- THE VERY EVENT YOU
WERE AT I THINK TELLS US EVERYTHING WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT
YOUR TRIP.
>> SO THE CANNES THE FILM FESTIVAL AND IT WASN'T THAT AND
I WAS AT THE OTHER ONE.
>> WITH THE PEOPLE.
YES.
WITH THE PEOPLE.
>> YEAH, IT WAS THE RELEASE OF THE NEW TOYOTA TUNDRA.
[LAUGHTER] I MEAN, THIS SUMMER, STERLING,
YOU'VE BECOME A SOCCER DAD!
NOW, ARE YOU -- ARE YOU -- ARE YOU COACHING OR DO YOU JUST YELL
FROM THE SIDELINE?
>> I JUST YELL FROM THE SIDE SIDELINE.
I LOSE MY VOICE A LOT AND EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, MY SON WILL
LOOK AT ME FROM THE PITCH AND BE LIKE, "DOG, YOU NEED TO STOP
TALKING.
THIS IS TOO MUCH FOR ME.
YOU'RE EMBARRASSING ME IN FRONT OF PEOPLE."
I'M LEARNING HOW TO BRING IT DOWN AND NOT LOSE MY VOICE WHEN
I SHOW UP TO WORK THE NEXT DAY.
>> James: YEAH, IT IS HARD, THOUGH.
>> IT IS.
>> James: IT IS HARD.
>> YOU GET INTO IT, BRO.
DO YOUR KIDS PLAY?
>> James: MY SON USED TO PLAY AND THEN HE STOPPED.
I ONCE ALMOST GOT SENT OFF BY A REF.
>> WHAT'D YOU DO?
>> James: I'M NOT GOING TO GO INTO IT TOO MUCH BUT IT WASN'T A
CORNER.
[LAUGHTER] RIGHT.
RIGHT?
YOU TWO LOOK LIKE YOU'RE GREAT FRIENDS.
YOU LOVE WORKING TOGETHER.
>> I LOVE PRETTY.
SHE'S MY SWEET PRETTY, PRETTY GIRL.
I LOVE HER.
>> James: STERLING, YOU ADMITTED TO HAVING AN ACTING
CRUSH ON REGINA.
REGINA, ANYONE YOU HAVE AN ACTING CRUSH ON?
AN ACTOR YOU THINK IS SO BRILLIANT?
>> OUTSIDE OF STERLING -- STERLING IS ONE OF THEM -- YOU
KNOW, I HAVE AN ACTING CRUSH ON ANDREW GARFIELD.
>> OH YEAH!
I GET THAT.
HE'S GREAT.
>> James: HE'S ACTING CRUSHABLE.
>> YEAH, HE'S REALLY GOOD.
>> James: HAVE YOU MET HIM?
>> YOU KNOW.
I DID.
I MET HIM IN THE INDEPENDENT SPIRIT AWARDS.
I WAS SO EXCITED.
I'M LIKE, "OH LOOK, IT'S ANDREW GARFIELD."
I WENT OVER.
I SAID, DO YOU THINK I CAN SAY HI.
I WENT TO SAY HI.
I'M REGINA.
HE STARTED TALKING.
HE SOUNDS LIKE YOU.
I WAS SHOCKED.
I THOUGHT HE WAS AMERICAN.
JAMES OH REALLY?
>> DID YOU KNOW?
>> YEAH.
>> REALLY?
>> YEAH.
>> DID YOU KNOW?
>> YEAH.
HA-HA.
>> WELL, I WAS MORTIFIED BECAUSE I SAID -- I WAS LIKE, OH, ARE
YOU -- >> AND THEN HE SAID, ARE YOU
FINDING OUT I'M -- I THINK BRITISH, WHATEVER, IN REALTIME?
AND I SAID, YES.
I WAS MORTIFIED AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY.
IT WAS AWKWARD FROM THAT POINT ON.
I DID TELL HIM I WAS A BIG FAN, BUT THEN YOU DON'T SOUND LIKE A
BIG FAN WHEN YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW THE MAN'S NATIVE HOME.
>> James: YOU'RE RIGHT.
YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
IT'S IMPOSSIBLE AFTER FINDING OUT YOU DON'T KNOW THEY'RE
BRITISH AND THEN GO ONTO SAY I'M A BIG FAN.
>> YEAH.
>> James: YEAH.
>> IT'S TRUE.
>> James: LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING I'M A BIG FAN OF.
IT'S YOUR MOVIE "HONK FOR JESUS, SAVE YOUR SOUL."
YOU'RE BOTH BRILLIANT IN THE FILM.
STERLING, WHO DO YOU PLAY?
>> I PLAY PASTOR LEE CURTIS CHILDS.
MY FIRST LADY AND WIFE, TRINITIE CHILDS, ARE THE FIRST PASTOR AND
LADY OF THE GREAT BAPTIST CHURCH.
THERE'S A SCANDAL THAT CAUSES THEM TO LOSE THEIR WHOLE
CONGREGATION.
THEY DECIDE TO HIRE A DOCUMENTARY FILM CREW.
>> THEY DON'T.
>> HE DECIDES TO HIRE A DOCUMENTARY FILM CREW TO CHART
THEIR ASCENDANCY BACK TO PROMINENCE OR SO HE THINKS.
>> James: WHEN THE PRODUCERS WERE CASTING FOR THE FILM,
REGINA, THEY SAID THEY WERE LOOKING FOR A REGINA HALL-TYPE
TO PLAY THE PART.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
WHAT DO YOU THINK THAT IS?
WHAT IS A REGINA HALL-TYPE?
>> BUXOM.
EXPENSIVE.
>> James: HA-HA!
HA-HA!
[APPLAUSE] >> WELL, I WAS VERY FLATTERED BY
THAT COMPLIMENT, BUT I PROBABLY -- THE MOVIE HAS SUCH A FINE
LINE BETWEEN DRAMA AND COMEDY, SO PROBABLY SOMEONE WHO COULD
NAVIGATE THEM BOTH.
>> James: WE SEE A LOT OF YOU IN THE MOVIE.
>> YEP.
>> James: WE SEE A LOT OF YOU.
>> UH-HUH.
>> James: AND YOUR BODY IS, CAN I BE HONEST, IT'S ANNOYINGLY
FANTASTIC AND PERFECT.
WERE YOU BORN WITH THOSE ABS?
>> FIRST OF ALL, THE FIRST TIME YOU EVER MENTIONED MY BODY WAS
ON -- YOU SAW ME ON O.J. AND YOU SAID, LIKE, DARDEN'S GOT HOT DAD
BOD, AND I WAS LIKE, I GOT TO DO BETTER.
I GOT TO DO BETTER, SO THAT JAMES SEES ME.
THIS WAS ALL ABOUT YOU.
I WAS LIKE, I GOT TO CUT IT UP.
I WASN'T ON WITH ABS.
I HAD AN AUNT THAT LOVED TO SEE THE KIDS DO FUN THINGS.
IT'S A SIT-UP BOARD.
SHE SAID IF ANYONE COULD DO 100 SITUPS, I'LL GIVE YOU $10.
BROWN DID 200 SITUPS IN A ROW.
I GOT $20.
THEN MY STOMACH CONTRACTED BY ITSELF.
I SIT AND WATCH MTV VIDEOS.
IF I CAN DO SITUPS THE WHOLE TIME THIS SONG IS PLAYING, THEN
I'LL BE ALL RIGHT.
DIFFERENT CHALLENGES LIKE THAT.
>> James: IT'S ACTUAL PHYSICAL EXERCISE?
>> IT TOOK ACTUAL WORK.
>> CAN I JUST SAY SOMETHING?
>> HUH?
>> THIS IS EXPLAINING SOMETHING.
THIS IS EXPLAINING SOMETHING.
MY ACTUAL BREAST POPPED OUT DURING A SCENE AND NO ONE
NOTICED IT, AND I'M THINKING THAT IT'S BECAUSE THEY WERE
LOOKING AT HIM.
[LAUGHTER] THE DIRECTORS DIDN'T NOTICE IT.
STERLING DIDN'T NOTICE IT.
>> TRYING TO BE PROFESSIONAL.
LOOKING YOU IN THE EYES.
STRAIGHT AHEAD.
>> IT WORKED.
AND NO CREW -- THE FIRST A.D., NO ONE NOTICED IT.
THE D.P. FINALLY PROBABLY CAUGHT A REFLECTION ON HIS ABS!
THEY WERE LIKE, OH, SOMEONE'S GOT TO PUT THAT DISTRACTING
THING IN.
>> James: LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE CLIP FROM "HONK FOR JESUS,
SAVE YOUR SOUL," WHICH OPENS IN THEATERS AND IS AVAILABLE ON
PEACOCK ON SEPTEMBER 2.
>> FOLKS OUT HERE, WE DO THIS ALL THE TIME IN THE NAME OF GOD.
IT'S GOOD.
THE MORE BEEPS THE BETTER.
IT DRAWS ATTENTION TO A WORTHY CAUSE.
I CANNOT THINK OF A CAUSE MORE WORTHY THAN THIS RIGHT HERE.
HONK.
>> YOU AIN'T REALLY GETTING THAT MANY BEEPS, BABY.
>> HUH?
>> WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
>> WHAT'D YOU SAY TO ME?
>> YOU HAVE TO DO A LITTLE MORE.
GIVE THEM A SHOW.
YOU KNOW.
COME ON, GIRL.
SHAKE IT FOR THE LORD.
I SAY GET IT FOR THE LORD.
GIVE THEM HOPE FOR THE LORD >> James: STICK AROUND, MORE
WITH THESE TWO WHEN WE COME BACK.
>> James: WELCOME BACK!
NOW, STERLING AND REGINA, YOU BECAME GREAT FRIENDS WORKING
WITH EACH OTHER ON "HONK FOR JESUS, SAVE YOUR SOUL."
BUT THE QUESTION IS HOW WELL DO YOU REALLY KNOW EACH OTHER?
SO, TO TEST YOUR FRIENDSHIP WE THOUGHT WE'D PLAY A LITTLE GAME.
IT'S VERY SIMPLE.
I WILL BE ASKING YOU BOTH A SERIES OF QUESTIONS WHILE YOU
BOTH HOLD THESE BUZZERS.
REGINA, HOLD ONTO THIS.
>> TAP IT OR SOMETHING?
>> James: STERLING, YOU HOLD ONTO THIS.
HERE'S HOW IT'S GOING TO WORK, IF YOU GET THE QUESTION WRONG,
YOU WILL RECEIVE AN ELECTRIC SHOCK --
>> AH!
>> James: -- WHICH I WILL ADMINISTER.
>> FOR REAL?
>> James: I HAVE BUZZERS HERE.
FOR ABSOLUTE REALS.
HOWEVER, IF YOU GET IT RIGHT, YOU DON'T GET A SHOCK.
>> OH [BLEEP] >> James: IT'S ALL FUN AND
GAMES.
>> IS THAT LEGAL?
>> James: SO LET'S GO TO STERLING FIRST.
STERLING, HOLD ON.
YOU DON'T HAVE A RING ON, DO YOU?
OK, GOOD.
>> NO!
>> James: YOU CAN USE THE OTHER HAND.
>> THERE'S RINGS ON BOTH OF MY HANDS.
>> James: TAKE THE RING OFF.
YOU'LL BE SAFE.
THERE YOU GO.
OK.
>> OH [BLEEP] >> James: STERLING.
>> YEAH?
>> James: HOLD ONTO THAT.
>> [BLEEP] >> James: STERLING, WHEN IS
REGINA'S BIRTHDAY?

IT'S JUST THAT -- YOU'VE GOT ME ON THE SPOT.
>> YEAH, I KNOW.
>> I DON'T REMEMBER THEIR NAMES.
>> I'M PRAYING FOR YOU.
I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU GET BUZZED.
>> James: I'M GOING TO HAVE TO PUT A --

[BUZZER] AH!
[LAUGHTER] >> James: HA-HA!
HA-HA!
>> HA-HA!
>> James: OK.
STERLING -- >> I --
>> James: STERLING?
>> YEAH.
>> James: REGINA HAS A VERY PARTICULAR TYPE OF PHOBIA, WHAT
IS IT?
WHAT'S IT CALLED?
>> COME ON, DOG!
>> James: WHAT'S IT CALLED?
>> THE PHOBIA -- SHE'S GOT A FEAR OF VOMITING.
>> James: AND IT'S CALLED?
>> OH GOD!
