00:00From Hollywood, it's Jimmy Kimmel Live.
00:04Tonight's guests, George Clooney, Mike Tyson, and music from Christopher Frost with Cleto and the Cletos.
00:16And now, here's Jimmy!
00:30Hi, I'm Jimmy. I'm the host. Thank you for watching. Thank you for joining us from our holy, beautiful downtown Hollywood.
00:45And welcome to 80s week. You know, this is, I was thinking about 2025 and how much it sucks.
00:51And I thought it might be nice to hop into the DeLorean and go back in time to a better place, the 80s,
00:57to an era when every song had a sax solo and we all had giant socks with no feet to keep our legs warm.
01:04In the 80s, no one ever had cold legs. Right, Guillermo?
01:07Where's Guillermo?
01:25You look great.
01:27What, um, what is that thing you're holding? What would you call that?
01:30I'm not sure what it's called, but they say it's good for your arms.
01:33It's good for your arms.
01:34Yeah.
01:35Well, it's really working then. The tab and tequilas are paying off in a big way.
01:39That's right. That's right.
01:41Tonight, we are kicking off 80s week with, uh, Dr. Doug Ross from ER is here.
01:46George Clooney.
01:47Iron Mike Tyson is with us.
01:49And we got music all along the night from Christopher Cross, everybody.
01:55Welcome, Christopher.
01:56I am going for the, I don't know if you noticed, the mid-80s Johnny Carson look.
02:01I even have some topical 80s jokes like Johnny's.
02:05So we wrote some jokes based on things that happened, like, this week in the 80s.
02:09So in theaters this week, in 1980, The Empire Strikes Back was at the movie.
02:15Wild, wild stuff.
02:18Cover your ears if you haven't seen it.
02:21But turns out Luke's father is Darth Vader.
02:25Even scarier, his mother is Joan Rivers.
02:28On this day in 1982, the surgeon general, C. Everett Koop, released a warning stating that video games could be hazardous to your health.
02:38And he's right.
02:39And he's right.
02:39I played Donkey Kong for six hours yesterday.
02:41Then I went out on my lawn.
02:43I threw a barrel at an Italian.
02:45On November 10th, 1985, the number one show on TV was The Cosby Show on NBC, starring Bill Cosby as an OB-GYN.
02:58A fact that I predict will age very well.
03:01And on November 10th, 1983, under Ronald Reagan, they shut down the government.
03:07It lasted for three full days.
03:10Can you imagine the government being shut down for three days?
03:14Here in the present, we are on day 41 of the Trump government shutdown.
03:19Democrats refused to sign on to a bill that would force millions of Americans off their health care
03:25and make it much more expensive for those who can afford health care.
03:29So Democrats drew a line in the sand.
03:31They said, we are not going over this.
03:33And today, after 41 days, they pulled out a shovel and a bucket and they ate all that sand and got nothing for it.
03:41Isn't that great?
03:42You know what they got?
03:43They got a promise from Republicans in the Senate to hold a vote on health care sometime in the future.
03:48And if there's one thing we know about Trump and his merry band of sycophants,
03:51it's that their word is as good as gold.
03:55I mean, it is incredible at his age that Chuck Schumer is still able to bend over so far.
04:02Chuck Schumer is basically every parent who tells their kid, no more iPad, that's it.
04:07Next thing you know, he's playing Roblox at the dinner table.
04:10This was such a big cave by the Democrats, Bruce Wayne offered to buy it.
04:16Dick Durbin, the Democrat, told Senate Majority Leader John Thune that he was, quote,
04:21counting on him to keep his word on this agreement.
04:23He said he assured me he would, which is exactly what Lucy said to Charlie Brown with the football.
04:28So now the House will vote and we'll see how that goes.
04:32Turns out all Trump had to do was threaten to starve poor people and he got his way.
04:37I'm sure he'll never do it again, though.
04:39Speaker Mike Johnson praised the bill, which is kind of all you need to know.
04:43He said he's glad Democrats are finally ready to do what the American people have been asking them to do for weeks.
04:48Great. And then maybe you'll finally be ready to do what the American people have been asking you to do for months and release the Epstein files.
04:55We got to get something out of this.
05:04Meanwhile, with all this going on, Trump is he posted up a storm on Truth Social this week,
05:11and he covered a range of topics from Biden and his auto pen to photos of his new ballroom.
05:18He bragged about getting the key to the city of Miami.
05:20He raged about the price of beef.
05:22He plugged his son Eric's book.
05:24He bashed Nancy Pelosi.
05:25He complained about voter ID.
05:27And we learned he's trying to get the NFL to name a stadium after him.
05:31Trump reportedly wants the Washington commanders to give him naming rights to their new stadium.
05:37Why would anyone ever want to name anything after Don?
05:40I mean, look at Don Jr. It's not exactly a winning strategy.
05:45But he's a big football guy.
05:51Joe Montanning bad made an appearance at the commanders game yesterday where he received a decidedly negative reception from the crowd.
05:58Please welcome the 45th and 47th president of the United States, Donald Z. Trump, and Secretary of War, Pete Hayes, as the president spares in in the seas of our United States military.
06:20It's like a whole stadium full of Melania's.
06:23You know?
06:24It's...
06:25Boo!
06:26You suck.
06:27You think he can hear the boos, or does the narcissism force field block it all out?
06:33And then Trump, who...
06:35One of the fun, underrated things about him is how little he knows about anything.
06:40Like, this is a guy who helped start the USFL.
06:43He owned a football team.
06:44And yet, anyone who knows anything about football can immediately tell he knows nothing about football.
06:50How many touchdowns did you have back then?
06:52Oh, is that right?
06:53Six?
06:54Seven?
06:55I'm not sure I had any.
06:56I'm not sure.
06:57I would have liked him as a quarterback.
06:59You definitely would have had, like, six, seven touchdowns there?
07:02Yeah.
07:03He puts it in your hands, right?
07:04Yeah.
07:05Now, you see some of the guys with, you know, the powerful arms, and they throw it so hard.
07:09Uh, Tom Brady told me once, he said that, you know, you got to put it in their hands.
07:13You got to help them out a little bit.
07:15Yeah, that's incredible insight, isn't it?
07:17Turns out, the quarterback, you know the guy with the powerful arms, the quarterback?
07:21Has to put the ball in his teammates' hands.
07:23You got to help them out a little bit.
07:25The announcer was too busy trying to force six, seven in there to notice.
07:28And then, like, a 79-year-old man is going to know six, seven.
07:34And that team photo, let's have a look at that team photo again, because there he is.
07:38Number 85 in the military academy.
07:40This is about four years before those terrible bone spurs sprouted up and prevented him from
07:45serving his country in Vietnam.
07:46We probably would have won that if he was able to fight.
07:49But before he arrived, Trump had his plane fly over the stadium, dazzling fans with what
07:58some are calling the greatest flyover ever.
08:01I just want to say, was that the greatest flyover ever?
08:05Nobody's ever done a flyover like that.
08:08That's right. No one ever has done a...
08:10It was the greatest flyover and the greatest combover ever.
08:14Sadly, that was the only flight into D.C. that wasn't canceled yesterday.
08:21More than 2,200 flights were canceled because of this stupid shutdown.
08:25His transportation secretary, Sean Duffy, said that before Thanksgiving, air travel could be reduced to a trickle,
08:31which is the same reason Trump's doctors put him on Flomax.
08:36Today, Trump lashed out at air traffic controllers who stayed home because they aren't getting paid.
08:41He wrote, I am not happy with you.
08:44You will have a negative mark, at least in my mind, against your record if you want to leave service in the near future.
08:52Please do not hesitate to do so with no payment or severance of any kind.
08:58We would also like to extend that offer to you, Mr. President.
09:01We are not too thrilled with you either.
09:09Trump's negative job rating is at 63% right now.
09:13This is reportedly the line for the food bank at the Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas.
09:19There was a big spike in military families having to line up to get food, which is completely insane.
09:25The same was true for our men and women overseas.
09:28The Army even posted and then unposted a list on their website of food banks in Germany
09:33where Americans working on our base there could get assistance.
09:37All because our politicians are busy measuring each other's Wienerschnitzels.
09:41It's not just the military he's trying to starve out.
09:44Trump is also doing his best to cut off SNAP benefits for civilians.
09:48I think I figured out why Trump hates SNAP so much.
09:51I think it's because his fingers are too small to do it.
09:55Trump is...
09:58Maybe if they change the name.
10:01We, um, in order to combat this, we set up a big, beautiful food bank in our parking lot.
10:06So we've been collecting donations on behalf of two great organizations, St. Joseph's Center and the L.A. Food Bank.
10:16We've collected a lot of food already. We're going to keep doing this until they get their act together.
10:20So go to our Instagram page, Jimmy Kimmel Live. You can see what is needed there.
10:24We take donations from nine to five. Or if you prefer to give money, you can do it at StJosephCenter.org or LAFoodBank.org.
10:31Thank you for that. Many people have come by and donated.
10:36You may remember he promised the lower grocery prices on day one.
10:41And, of course, he hasn't. But he is focused on other more important stuff like magnets.
10:47Magnets. If China refused to give magnets, because they have a monopoly on magnets, because they were allowed to happen over a 32-year period,
10:57there wouldn't be a car made in the entire world, there wouldn't be a radio, there wouldn't be a television, there wouldn't be Internet, there wouldn't be anything,
11:04because magnets are such a bar. Now, nobody knows what magnets are.
11:08They don't? Nope. I could have sworn I've seen them all over my mother's refrigerator.
11:17Why not? I must be mistaken. Nobody knows what they are.
11:21Chuck pulled a fast one in the middle of the night last night.
11:23He gave get-out-of-jail-free cards to all his cronies who were mixed up in the fake elector scheme.
11:28He pardoned 77 people last night, including Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, the entire staff of the Four Seasons Total Landscaping,
11:37and the dildo shop next door. They announced the pardons in the middle of the night, because, you know,
11:42if they do this during the daylight, Rudy's skin bursts into flames.
11:47But Rudy Giuliani, they say he hasn't been this happy since he almost got to third base with Borat's daughter.
11:54The White House Press Secretary Carolyn Levitt said these great Americans were persecuted and put through hell
12:02by the Biden administration for challenging an election which is the cornerstone of democracy,
12:07which is why they pardoned them in the middle of the night.
12:10There's no such thing as shame anymore.
12:12Remember those PSAs in the 80s that would tell you not to use drugs or stay in school?
12:16Gabriel, you remember the one we did?
12:18Yeah, I do. I do remember.
12:19Do you remember what it was about?
12:20About pornography.
12:22That's right.
12:23Yeah.
12:24And since we are celebrating 80s week, we dug it up and we thought you might want to have a look.
12:29Hi, I'm Jimmy Kimmel. I play Reno on My Baby is a Robot.
12:33And I'm Guillermo from the Miami Sound Machine.
12:36We believe that children are our future.
12:39Kids are so incorporated.
12:41Word, G. But sometimes even the raddest kids get exposed to things that are grody to the max.
12:46Like porno.
12:47That's right. Kids and nudie magazines don't mix.
12:51You have magazines?
12:52I do.
12:53I've got magazines you should never look at.
12:56Magazines like Playboy.
12:58Penhouse.
12:59Gent.
13:00Shockers.
13:02Banana Pants.
13:04Cutes and Boo's.
13:05Oy.
13:07Yocks.
13:08And Penis Time.
13:14Hey.
13:15Oh, sometimes it's tempting to look at naked ladies, but you have to say no.
13:20Adult material is for adults.
13:23Let's keep it that way.
13:24And if we do, one day in the future, by the year 2025, kids will have no way to access pornography at all.
13:33What are you doing?
13:35I should ask you the same question.
13:37Mister, where'd you get all these magazines?
13:39You are granted no Atari for two weeks.
13:42That's right.
13:43Dad?
13:44The guy from My Baby is a Robot is in my room.
13:46Don't call your dad.
13:47You want to see the dance?
13:49Get the stuff, Guillermo.
13:51The robot.
13:52Bye.
13:54Oh, and don't forget, kids.
13:56A clean brain is a healthy brain.
13:59This message brought to you by McGrady the Phone Hell.
14:02Take a bite out of porn.
14:04All right, we got a great show tonight.
14:08Mike Tyson is here.
14:09We have music from Christopher Cross.
14:11And we'll be right back with George Clooney.
14:14CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

14:46He has a new one-man show called Return of the Mic.
14:49Mike Tyson is with us tonight.
14:51And then later, a five-time Grammy Award winner.
14:55You can see him riding like the wind live on tour this spring,
14:58sitting in with the Cletones.
14:59Christopher Cross is here.
15:01Yeah, Christopher.
15:03Last time you were here, you did Ride Like the Wind with Ron Burgundy.
15:09Will Ferrell was here.
15:10That was an amazing thing.
15:11Wonderful.
15:12Big thrill, yeah.
15:13That was fun.
15:14Really fun.
15:15What are you gonna do tonight?
15:16What song?
15:17Do Sailing For You.
15:18Oh, Sailing For You.
15:19Oh, my God.
15:20So, thank you.
15:21Christopher Cross is here.
15:22This week, we're bringing the 80s back with totally radical guests,
15:26including Danny DeVito, Jason Bateman, Mr. T, Debbie Gibson,
15:30Morgan Fairchild will be here.
15:31We'll have music from Susanna Hoffs, Howard Jones,
15:34and Men At Work.
15:35And tomorrow night, the one and only Eddie Murphy will join us.
15:37So, please join us for tonight.
15:39Our first guest tonight made his television sitcom debut
15:44on The Facts of Life back in September of 1985,
15:47and he's done pretty good since then.
15:49He stars alongside Adam Sandler in Noah Baumbach's Jay Kelly.
15:53It opens in theaters November 14th and on Netflix December 5th.
15:56Please welcome George Clooney.
15:58George Clooney.
16:02How are you?
16:26Christopher Cross is here, man.
16:27Christopher Cross.
16:28I'm such a fan.
16:29Ever seen Christopher Cross live in concert?
16:32I have not, but, you know, growing up in Kentucky,
16:35we started with Sailing, I think, was your first big one.
16:37He's going to do that tonight.
16:38And then you sang the theme to Arthur, which was amazing.
16:42Yeah.
16:43It was pretty fun, pretty exciting.
16:44The moon in New York City.
16:45Think of Laura.
16:46Yes.
16:47Yeah, we could go on and on, Christopher.
16:49Yeah, go ahead.
16:50Is it weird for you to think of a young George Clooney
16:53singing along in his car to your songs?
16:56George is still young.
16:57Come on.
16:57That's right.
16:59You know, I always liked Christopher Cross.
17:04Maybe he'll write a song about you.
17:07Yeah.
17:07What kind of car were you driving and listening?
17:0976 Monte Carlo.
17:11Oh, wow.
17:11With rust all over it.
17:12Wow.
17:12Yeah, it had rust all over it.
17:14It said, danger car on the back of it.
17:16Space, in space tape.
17:18You remember space tape?
17:19Yeah.
17:20You guys don't remember space tape.
17:21Danger car.
17:21It might as well say, pull me over.
17:24I know.
17:25By the way, I did that to Pitt once.
17:27I got a bumper sticker on the back of his car.
17:31It was in the shape of a pot plant.
17:33And I put it, you know, you don't ever look at the back of your car.
17:35And I put it on the back of his car, and on it, it said, excuse my language, cops.
17:40Guaranteed to get pulled over.
17:45There's no way you don't get pulled over with that bumper sticker on the back of your car.
17:49On the back of his Prius.
17:51You know what I mean?
17:56Yeah.
17:57I enjoyed it.
17:59People, I would imagine, often ask, why am I friends with you?
18:03I know.
18:04Yes, most people.
18:06What year did you move to L.A.?
18:08You said you drove out here.
18:0982.
18:1082.
18:11And when you came out here, was it like right away you started working?
18:14No.
18:15God, no.
18:16Like, you know, I think it was 84, 85 before I started getting work.
18:21The first job I did was a movie.
18:24This is an insane story.
18:25But I did a movie with an actress that I'm working with in this movie, Laura Dern, 40 years ago.
18:30She was 15.
18:31And, yeah, yes.
18:33And that movie was called?
18:35It was called Grizzly to the Predator.
18:37I get eaten by a bear.
18:40And we were shooting it in Budapest.
18:43It was Charlie Sheen, Laura Dern and I.
18:45We get killed in the first scene.
18:46And, but it was a cheap, low-budget film.
18:49And they ran out of money.
18:50We got stuck in Budapest.
18:52And this is communist, you know, iron curtain Budapest for, like, two months.
18:56They just left you there?
18:57We just hung out.
18:58Eating, like, paprika chicken every day.
19:01Waiting for them to fly you home?
19:04Somebody to give us some money to go home.
19:06I'm serious.
19:07Really?
19:08Yeah.
19:09And would you be surprised to know we have a clip from that film?
19:13Yeah?
19:14Would that?
19:15Oh.
19:16When's the last time you saw even a little bit of Grizzly 2 the Predator?
19:24Well, it never came out.
19:25Oh, it didn't?
19:26It was never released.
19:27And then, suddenly, some knucklehead about two years ago got a bunch of stock footage
19:32and put it together and made us all the star of the movie now.
19:35And, uh, and released it.
19:36And then I got a lot of crappy reviews, which I, you know.
19:38Forty years later.
19:39Well, let's see if they're warranted.
19:41It's not true.
19:42Did you hear that noise?
19:49Man, not funny.
19:52Ah!
19:54We messed up.
19:55Were you super psyched when you got that part?
20:03I was so excited.
20:04It was my first job.
20:05I was really excited.
20:06And that's how you met Laura?
20:07I met Laura there.
20:08And Charlie there.
20:09Yeah.
20:10And Charlie was there.
20:11Was there an actual bear on set or no?
20:13No.
20:14There was, like, a guy with a bear paw that he would do with, you know.
20:18I mean, it was a disaster.
20:19You, um, I don't think we could talk about the 80s without mentioning your appearance on
20:24The Facts of Life.
20:25Yes, I do.
20:26You've got George Burnett.
20:29Now, look at that hair.
20:31A carpenter, right?
20:33Oh, yeah.
20:34That's a mullet, dude.
20:37You know, some prop guy handed me a hammer.
20:41You know that, right?
20:42Here's a hammer.
20:43Of course.
20:44They're like, okay, you're a carpenter, so here's a hammer.
20:46Yeah.
20:47Hold the hammer.
20:48And look at me.
20:49Look how willing I am to hold a hammer.
20:50Yeah, because you probably want to hit him on the head with it, right?
20:54At that point in your life, somebody hands you a hammer for a headshot.
20:57And you're like, okay, I'm going to take the thing.
20:59And here you are with your co-stars from Facts of Life.
21:02Oh, yeah, the girls.
21:04You know what?
21:05You notice Nancy and I have the exact same haircut.
21:08You do.
21:09Look at that.
21:10Blair's got the hand.
21:11Yeah, you've all got the same.
21:12Lisa has the same haircut.
21:13Mindy's pretty close, too.
21:15It's like there was one hair place in the 80s, and everyone went to it.
21:19No one went to it.
21:20You know?
21:21Did you have a mullet?
21:22No, I did not have a mullet.
21:23No, no, no.
21:24Did you?
21:25Would you call that a mullet?
21:26I don't know.
21:27I had a mullet.
21:28Well, that's the early stages.
21:29Later, it got longer in the back and shorter on the side.
21:31As you do.
21:32Who gave you the mullet?
21:33I don't know.
21:34It wasn't my fault.
21:35Your parents took you to the...
21:36My parents weren't taking me to the barber.
21:38They didn't?
21:39This was an adult mullet you had.
21:41This was like three years ago.
21:44Hey, I do want to say that my wife and I went to see you in Goodnight and Good Luck on Broadway,
21:50and man, was that just absolutely great.
21:52And now that is on Amazon on Prime Video, right?
21:56Yeah, it's on Prime Video.
21:57People can watch it.
21:58We did a live version of it.
21:59How many shows did you do?
22:00Like 103, I think, altogether.
22:02103?
22:03Okay.
22:04That's a lot.
22:05That's a lot of shows.
22:06As you get older, it gets harder to remember your lines.
22:07Does it?
22:08Even if you've done it 50 times, you then have a problem remembering the lines?
22:12Yeah.
22:13And it gets harder to remember your lines.
22:15No, it's...
22:16I mean, you do really start to forget crap.
22:18You know what I mean?
22:19Terrible.
22:20Schmuck.
22:21Okay.
22:22All right.
22:23Mike Tyson's back.
22:24Mike Tyson is back.
22:25Have you met Mike Tyson before?
22:26I haven't met Mike Tyson before.
22:27I haven't.
22:28I'm going to meet him when I walk out here.
22:30I want to say...
22:31The only person I've ever met in that profession...
22:36I was in Milan about 25 years ago, maybe longer.
22:39And I was at a nightclub, and there was a guy in, like, a purple suit, purple tie, really
22:44handsome, kind of strong, stocky guy.
22:47And he keeps like, George, man!
22:48And he keeps punching me in the chest, you know?
22:50Great.
22:51I'm like, dude, what are you doing?
22:53And he's like, hey, man!
22:54Hey, man!
22:55And he's punching me in the chest.
22:56I finally, I grab him by the face.
22:57I go, dude, if you hit me one more time, I'm going to knock your
23:01off.
23:02Right?
23:03And he's like, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
23:05And he's laughing.
23:06Next morning, I wake up.
23:07My buddy goes, you were pretty drunk last night.
23:09And I was like, yeah, I wasn't drunk at all.
23:11What are you talking about?
23:12He goes, you grab your marvelous Marvin Hagler by the face?
23:16Oh, my God.
23:17Yeah.
23:18I mean, I'm lucky to be here right now.
23:21You're looking out of a face?
23:23Look at me.
23:24George Clooney, his movie's called J.K.
23:27Do you have any regrets?
23:28What's your name?
23:29Phoebe.
23:30You're a tough one, Phoebe.
23:31I'll see you all in Tuscany.
23:32I didn't offer you one because I know about your allergy.
23:33That's right.
23:34My throat will close and I will die.
23:35How can I play people when I don't see people?
23:40Touch people.
23:41Don't touch people.
23:42Don't touch me.
23:44Don't touch.
23:45Good evening, see ya!
23:49That room is so nice.
23:51People are so nice, by the way.
23:52These are the best peanuts I've ever had.
23:54It's a good peanut.
23:55A European peanut.
23:56I didn't offer you one because I know about your allergy.
23:58That's right. My throat will close and I will die.
24:00How can I play people when I don't see people?
24:03I don't touch people.
24:04Don't touch people.
24:06That is George Clooney and Pete Cooney
24:09with Laura Dern and Adam Sandler.
24:12What a great movie this is.
24:14And you guys are all really great.
24:16Were you surprised Adam Sandler is so good in this movie?
24:18You know, Adam's a really good actor.
24:20I agree.
24:21And he was really wonderful in the film
24:23and we had a blast doing it.
24:24Like, as you see, Laura and I have been working together
24:27for nearly 40 years.
24:28Yeah.
24:29I mean, I thought you'd been killed by that bear.
24:32I didn't realize that you survived.
24:34There's still time.
24:35Did you play basketball with Adam?
24:36I played a lot of basketball with him over the...
24:39I think about 30 years ago when I was on Saturday Night Live,
24:42we started playing.
24:43Oh, you started then?
24:44Yeah, yeah, yeah.
24:45So we've been playing a while.
24:46Oh!
24:47Wow!
24:48Yeah, yeah, yeah.
24:49Who's better?
24:50That's a good question.
24:51Since...
24:52Don't tell anyone.
24:53Uh-huh.
24:54I'm so much better.
24:55No, he's got a...
24:56You know, I've gotten older and I've stopped.
24:58I just shoot from the outside.
24:59Oh, you do, yeah.
25:00By the way, I saw you playing basketball.
25:01Terrible.
25:02Against Ted Cruz.
25:03Yeah, yeah, yeah.
25:04I played with you one time.
25:06Yes, you did.
25:07Yeah.
25:08At my home.
25:09Yeah, no.
25:10Basketball's not my sport.
25:11Yeah, I can tell that.
25:12I don't...
25:13Is there...
25:14Is there a sport?
25:15Um...
25:16You know, I'm okay at baseball.
25:18I bet.
25:19Yeah.
25:20Okay.
25:21Do we have...
25:22Do we happen to have that clip handy?
25:23Is there a clip?
25:24Now, there's a clip that I like to have handy at all times.
25:26Yes, a baseball clip.
25:27And here's Jimmy Kelly.
25:28There he is.
25:29Yeah, there he is.
25:30Wow.
25:31Oh, wow.
25:32Look at that.
25:33Whoa!
25:34Whoa!
25:35Whoa!
25:36Whoa!
25:37Since you brought it up, you know, I thought I...
25:42Yes.
25:43It's amazing that that clip was waiting.
25:44Is it always skewed up?
25:46Honestly, I don't think we've showed it for two years,
25:48but I'm real happy it's there, I have to say.
25:51Somebody back there's got quick fingers.
25:53Your character, Jay Kelly, gets honored in the movie.
25:56Yeah.
25:57At this film festival.
25:58And it's...
25:59I won't give away what goes on, but...
26:01Everyone dies in the end.
26:04But you're sitting in the theater.
26:05Yeah.
26:06And you're watching this montage.
26:08Tribute.
26:09It's tribute of films about your life, which I'm sure you've
26:11probably done in real life before.
26:12Yeah, maybe some.
26:13Yeah, from a time or two.
26:14Yeah.
26:15So, and it's kind of crazy to, like, look at that.
26:18I think there are... How many?
26:19Like, 15, 20...
26:20Well, they're using clips from actual films I was in.
26:22Yeah.
26:23I'm playing a character who's an actor, and it's...
26:25I mean, it freaked me out, man.
26:27And all of a sudden, there's, you know, again, as you can see,
26:29a lot of bad haircuts that I had to get through.
26:32Yeah.
26:33Because it started from the early ages.
26:34But an amazing body of work.
26:36Do you help pick those, or do you leave that to the director?
26:38No.
26:39I didn't even know he was gonna use them.
26:40Oh, you didn't?
26:41I thought he was gonna do some CGI thing and make me look young or something.
26:44Which I wouldn't mind.
26:46He didn't have to, because your whole life has been recorded.
26:50I know.
26:51I can't hide from it.
26:52That's really an unbelievable thing.
26:53You know, I think a lot of people make a lot out of, oh, this character.
26:57Because what Noah said, that he wrote this specifically for you.
27:00Yeah.
27:01And he wouldn't make the movie if you'd said no.
27:04Yeah, I kind of doubt that.
27:05You doubt that?
27:06I think I was the cheapest one available.
27:09Goes to, like, Tom Cruise.
27:10Uh-huh.
27:11And he's like, nah, I'm not gonna do that.
27:12Uh-huh.
27:13Yeah, I'm just very lucky to get to work with a director like that.
27:16Is that a lot of pressure, though, when a guy says, like,
27:18hey, listen, I've written this movie, and it's written for you,
27:21and you've got to be the star.
27:23And then what if you want to say no?
27:25Well, no, it's not a lot of pressure.
27:27I mean, I would be, I was excited to get a part like that.
27:30You know, when you're my age, you know, I'm 64.
27:32You know, the thing is, like.
27:34I like it.
27:35Oh, yeah.
27:36Okay.
27:37Now, here's what happens.
27:38You get to a certain age, they applaud when you say your age.
27:40Yeah, yeah, yeah.
27:41It's like, thank goodness.
27:42Oh, he's still gumming his bread.
27:44Wow.
27:45What a thing.
27:46He's still with us.
27:47God bless him.
27:49Look, he walked in the chair by himself.
27:51Whoa.
27:52Oh.
27:53Oh.
27:54I'm telling you, when I was 20, and I heard somebody died at 64,
27:57I go, that's a good look.
27:58Yeah, that's a good run.
27:59That's a good run.
28:00The Beatles wrote a song about it, for God's sake.
28:03Sure.
28:04Well, it's great to have you here.
28:05You too.
28:06Congratulations on the movie.
28:07Thanks.
28:08It's called Jay Kelly.
28:09It opens in select theaters November 14th.
28:10And then you can watch it at home on Netflix starting December 5th.

28:26Once in your life you find her.

28:32Next thing you know you're closing down the town.
28:37Next, in November 1986, our next guest became the youngest ever heavyweight champion of the world.
28:58You can hear about that and much, much more in his new one-man show, Return of the Mic.
29:04Please welcome Mike Tyson.
29:05How are you?
29:06How are you doing?
29:07Mike, did you think you'd still be around after the eighties you had?
29:24No.
29:26No.
29:27No.
29:28you'd still be around after the 80s you had no no no the 90s was pretty tricky too
29:40you haven't been here since a week before you fought jake paul on netflix yes and i just want
29:45to say something to you because i don't know if you remember this but during the commercial break
29:50you and i had a little chat and i said hey are you really are you gonna win are you like real
29:54serious about this because i'm gonna bet a lot of money you're like yes i am going to well i bet
30:00money too you did and i bet more money than i've ever bet on anything oh me too you did you bet on
30:09yourself huh yeah who'd you bet with in vegas excuse me no no you did it on an app yeah yeah right yeah
30:16you can't walk up to the cage and go although if i saw you walk up to the cage and bet on yourself
30:21i'd be like get all our money everybody he's betting he's betting on himself yeah um that fight
30:29didn't go as well as i was hoping it would i know neither what about me both of us really
30:38but there was a highlight of the fight i think we have um actually it was a pre-fight situation
30:43vicious win vicious win thank you i love you love you too and we all got to see you around
30:51that's pretty customary it's just that they happen to take advantage of that situation
31:06all fighters walk around like that in that locker room that's how it is you walk around with a jock
31:11strap on no it's the cup oh a cup yeah it looks like chats but it's a cup okay and that um and you
31:19don't but you don't wear socks you do wear a cup you do not wear socks no socks no socks never wear
31:23socks no why no socks this drives me crazy i'll be honest i only used it for fighting where that was
31:31my image just real hardcore no sock and then i i i somehow i discovered the i had a very um disintegrating
31:42dose of foot fungus and um it was really bad it's still bad now i got it fixed you know i did
31:51come on i'm serious man so would you say that foot fungus is your greatest opponent of all the
31:56well i would have to say so because it's still kicking my ass now
32:00you should make a great commercial for guessing x that's the next can't help me that's the next
32:08cannot help me and um 40 years ago they blew up in march of 1985 you had your first professional
32:16fight yes i did now you remember who you fought hector mercedes hector mercedes never forget the name but
32:22you um you took he put up a good fight for the part of one round that he fought you before you
32:29knocked him down and he decided not to get up well i was only 18 i was just learning to do this stuff
32:35were you scared at that time to death you were yeah how scared were you like did you think about
32:41backing out 100 i'm probably the most scariest guy when it comes to you know fighting like yeah last
32:47night i did my show for the first time in five years you know i was sweating like i was in the
32:52spelling bee man we had a spelling bee here once yeah oh that's right remember my spelling bee here i
33:02had yeah did i pass that path yeah we had the kids and everything right oh the kids better than me
33:09they spelled better than both of us yeah yeah yeah they were champions though you know they're
33:13champion kids i mean it would be but believe me in the ring you could have crushed those kids
33:17okay so we did a little bit of math and um you fought 15 times that first year yes i did why so
33:30many fights um good experience experience you um you averaged two minutes and 37 seconds per fight
33:39that's how your opponents average two minutes and 37 seconds per fight they got paid quick
33:44they did no overtime did you start to feel invincible at that point just mowing through these guys
33:55well that's what fighting um prepared to make you feel that way it does yeah and then life humbles you
34:03yeah i don't think it made all those guys you fought feel that way i think life humbled them
34:09pretty good but then you fought um trevor burbick uh you beat trevor burbick to win the heavyweight
34:16title yes i did in uh two rounds right just under two rounds and then you got this uh belt and you
34:24like unlike a lot of people who would put the belt in the frame or something like that you
34:29wore the belt around absolutely i used to dream about that when i was like a 14 years old i'm watching
34:34the guys weird about to dream about being the champ having a belt on my weight so you'd go to like
34:39whatever the dentist or the mall and you have the belt on and at this time you become so popular and i
34:52mean i remember it was like i just i remember when you were fighting how excited i was to watch you just
34:59come out and lay waste i don't i mean i felt it felt like i was the one doing it in some ways
