- JOE: I'm Joe Jonas.
Over the years, I've toured the world with my brothers
playing in every major city.
But I've never had the time to explore any of them.
Until now.
This time around, I've got a few hours to check-out these incredible cities
before I hit the stage on our sell out tour.
This is Cup Of Joe.
Today, we are in New York City.
Where I'm warming my balls.
Blue balls. That's how cold my balls are right now.
Making Pizza.
- I did see him earlier going like this. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's it, that's it.
- JOE: And performing on stage in a whole new light.
First, gotta get myself a Cup of Joe.
Much better.
So, I've been in New York a lot of times.
But there is still so much that I've never done or experienced here.
So today, I'm gonna do those things.
OK, this... well, this is New York. Come on.
- Hey, man, what's up? Joe. - Raul, man.
- How you doing? - Raul, nice to meet you, man.
- Nice to meet you, man. How you doing? - JOE: This looks fun.
- Hey, do you wanna try hitting it?
- Let's go!
- MAN: Don't go easy on him. Don't go easy on him.
- Wow, wow, wow, good game!
That was amazing.
Damn, the kill shot!
You guys mind if I take a picture of you?
- MAN: Yeah, no, go ahead! - Here you go.
- JOE: Nice, thanks!
That was unexpected and those guys were awesome!

Now, I'm headed to Broadway to meet the writer of Mean Girls,
who made her name in this city.
It's actor, comedian, and all around comedy legend, Tina Fey.
And she's taking me out to lunch...
New York Style.
♪
- TINA: I love this neighborhood.
It's very old school New York to me, I think--
- It really is, hasn't changed at all. - Yeah.
I like it!
This is the site of the original improv.
That is very famous. Oh, my God! - Wow, there are some improv legends here.
- Woody Allen. Eddie Murphy. - TINA: Eddie...
Eddie! These are all people that, when I was a kid,
they were it!
- Maybe we can make some pizza and talk about improv.
- I'd love to. I'll eat pizza in this holy place.
- Hi, guys! - Hi, thank you for letting us in.
- All right!
Maybe you can give us some advice.
- Do we do sauce first? Do we do it wrong? - What do we do now?
- It's the sauce first, right? - Yeah.
- I kinda like the fact that we're just figuring this out.
- I did see him earlier going like this. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's it, that's it.
You're doing nice work!
- I'm doing a lot of cheese because I feel like
- every good pizza needs a lot of cheese. - Me, too. A little mushroom.
I like this situation.
- I think we're looking-- It's looking pretty good.
Pretty damn good! - That looks pretty perfect, actually!
Just gonna put this in my pocket for later.
- Order up!
This is New York, right? New York pizza.
- This is legit New York Pizza.
The thing I love about New York is that we live on top of each other
no matter who you are. It's like, no, you're gonna smell all the same smells,
and feel all, and meet all the same people...
- Right. - as everybody else.
- Moving to New York from Philly-- - Yeah.
- It's a big step.
- I moved to New York when I got a writing job at SNL.
I remember calling my dad and be, like, "I found an apartment,
I just need, like, $8000."
I remember my dad was like, "What are you--?"
He was, like, having a heart attack.
- And obviously, the career you have and you have has been, like, incredible.
I always wanted to make Pizza with Tina Fey, so this is really amazing.
- Always. - And also I...
I've always wanted to do stand up comedy.
- Are you gonna do it? - Getting up there.
- I'm gonna do it tonight. - Wait, what?
- I've prepared a few things, - Yes.
- but I would love some advice.
- Only the truth is funny. Notice something that's true
that no one's ever, like, said out loud before.
- Funny and true. - Funny and true.
Oh, my gosh, I'm so nervous for you.
I think you should prepare as much as possible.
- OK, yeah. right.
- And then you'll just feel more confident.
- Right. I think I'd do that in other places in my life
so I should probably do that
in stand up. Thank you so much. - You wouldn't just go on stage
and be like, "I'm gonna learn guitar on stage.
- Right. "Hey, guys, I'm gonna...
improv this song." Well...
- Cool, thank you so much. See you soon. - Thank you!
- See you very soon. - I'll be back in Mean Girls.
- All right, excellent, - I'll see you a lot.
- break a leg tonight. - All right, bye.
Guess, I'll pay for these pizzas.
He's a Jonas Brother. What the hell?
- JOE: Boosted by Tina's advice, its time to take the plunge
and attempt my first ever stand up to a crowd of comedy loving New Yorkers.
- MATT RICHARDS: So, they out there. - JOE: How many?
- It's a good turn out. - Too many for me right now.
This is my first time. I don't know if they told you.
Can you guys give me some advice? I'd love to hear, I mean...
- Don't suck. Do not suck. - "Don't suck."
- Sounds good!
- Five minutes can feel like a long... time if you 're bombing.
- NICK: Right. - We got somebody in the building tonight
that has never done comedy a day in their life.
He's brave or stupid. I've not figured it out yet.
- Nervous, excited.
I'm throwing myself into shit.
- It's Joe Jonas, y'all!
Yes! Make some noise.
- Kill it, baby. Yes, sir. - All right, thank you, thank you!
Hey, everybody. How you doing? I'm a Jonas Brother.
And I know you are all wondering, "Which one is he?"
So, If it goes really well tonight, I'm Joe Jonas
if not, Hi, I'm Kevin Jonas. Pleasure.
My parents called me Joe Jonas because my mother had no imagination
and my dad had a stutter.
I'm on a tour with my brothers, we are on a tour called The Happiness Begins Tour.
If I had to name my act right now, judging by your face,
It'll probably be, "Happiness ended 30 minutes ago."
You know what I'm saying? Judging by your face, maybe...
twenty minutes ago, I'm not sure.
So, working with your brothers,
it's hard because you can't lie to get out of work stuff.
You can't say, "Oh, my God, I can't be here tonight, my uncle died."
"What, Uncle Josh died? But I was with him at lunch!"
Well, comedy is much harder than music, you know.
With music, I can just turn the mic to the audience and say,
"All right, now it's your turn..." if I forget a lyric, right?
I can't say, "Why did the chicken cross the road?
I can't hear you!
Left side, right side!"
Well, look, you know, this is my first time doing stand up.
I think it was fun, if stand up doesn't work out for me,
I have the fall back of...
I don't know, going back to being
an international pop star with millions of dollars
and a beautiful talented wife, and hundreds of cars,
jets and...
Anyway, thank you, guys, for listening and having fun. My name is Joe Jonas.
Thank you, New York!
♪
- MATT RICHARDS: Joe Jonas, everybody! - Thank you, guys.
- One more time for Joe Jonas, ladies and gentlemen...
- JOE: Wow, what a rush! But it's time to get back to my day job.
I've loved being a tourist in a city that I know so well.
- I was gonna eat and I was like, "Don't do it. Don't do it to yourself."
- JOE: What I have learned is don't take your city for granted.
Always get out there and search for new experiences
as you never know what's around the block.
