Hi, I'm good. How are you?
00:02
I'm good. I'm good.
00:03
Pleasure to see you.
00:04
I had the same dress on and I changed.
00:07
Now are you wearing this to Valentine's?
00:09
Because I feel like you're in a Valentine's outfit.
00:12
It's just a warm up, but I think you're in a Valentine's outfit too.
00:14
This is a Valentine's outfit, but like,
00:17
I'm going to a Valentine's event with my wife,
00:20
and there's, I don't know if I'm, I'm not allowed to keep this, so.
00:24
I think you should, because you look very dapper in it.
00:26
Thank you.
00:27
You're hosting tonight.
00:28
I know.
00:29
What's the gig?
00:30
Well, from what I was told that John requested me,
00:34
you know, sometimes they have hosts at Music Cares,
00:37
and sometimes they don't,
00:39
and I was told that John wanted a host,
00:41
and he threw my name out there,
00:43
and you know, it's just a great gig,
00:46
and you know, I wish I could stick around for the Grammys,
00:48
but I have to get back because I've got like five kids,
00:50
and it's chaos.
00:52
But it's a great opportunity,
00:56
and I'm a Bon Jovi fan, so I was excited to do it.
00:59
What are your first Bon Jovi memories?
01:01
I mean, I remember "Runaway."
01:06
I remember being in a car hearing "Runaway."
01:08
I didn't know it was Bon Jovi,
01:10
but I remember the whole "Slippery When Wet."
01:13
It was, I mean, you're young.
01:15
You know, it's like, it defined an era.
01:18
Like, it was just hit upon hit where you didn't,
01:20
you're like, that's the same guy?
01:22
Because there were so many bands of that era,
01:24
and they're all gone because I killed them.
01:27
No, but they're all gone, but he just, you know,
01:31
the band Bon Jovi was a hit machine.
01:33
What's your favorite of that time?
01:35
I mean, I, you know, living on a prayer is,
01:39
I think it's just kind of, it's just universal.
01:43
Like, I remember I was on my Spotify,
01:45
and I pulled up, because I was doing research for this,
01:49
and I think it was the number 168 song
01:54
on my Spotify, on like whatever the list is.
01:57
So like, and that song's 40 years old.
02:00
It's still chugging along.
02:02
It still resonates, right?
02:04
And I know that you were in the Jerry Seinfeld
02:07
directorial debut on "Frosted," the Pop-Tart story.
02:10
Tell me about that experience.
02:12
What was it like being a part of that cast?
02:14
Oh my gosh, well, you, it was,
02:16
it was one of those situations where we would go to the set,
02:21
and you'd be like, oh wow, I didn't know that
02:24
this person was on the movie.
02:26
I mean, it was just comedy icon, acting icon,
02:30
and because, you know, when Jerry Seinfeld asked for a favor,
02:33
people are like, yeah, I'll do Jerry Seinfeld a favor.
02:36
So it was just all different, and Jerry just, you know,
02:40
knows exactly what he wants,
02:42
so it was a really fun experience,
02:44
but it was really neat seeing all these people,
02:47
and I don't want to give away some of the names,
02:49
because there are some names that come in,
02:51
and you're like, wow, how'd you get this?
02:53
So it'll be fun when people watch it.
