00:00Tonight's guests, George Clooney, Mike Tyson, and music from Christopher Frost with Cleto and the Cletones.
00:11And now, here's Jimmy!
00:30Hi, I'm Jimmy. I'm the most thankful person. Thank you for joining us from our holy, beautiful downtown Hollywood.
00:40And welcome to 80s Week. You know, this is, I was thinking about 2025 and how much it sucks.
00:46And I thought it might be nice to hop into the DeLorean and go back in time to a better place, the 80s, to an era when every song had a sax solo and we all had giant socks with no feet to keep our legs warm.
00:58In the 80s, no one ever had cold legs. Right, Guillermo?
01:02You look great. What is that thing you're holding? What would you call that?
01:25I'm not sure what it's called, but they say it's good for your arms.
01:28It's good for your arms.
01:29Yeah.
01:30Well, it's really working, then. The tab and tequilas are paying off in a big way.
01:34That's right.
01:35That's right.
01:36Tonight, we are kicking off 80s Week with Dr. Doug Ross from ER is here.
01:41George Clooney.
01:43Iron Mike Tyson is with us.
01:44And we've got music all along the night from Christopher Cross, everybody.
01:50Welcome, Christopher.
01:53I am going for the, I don't know if you noticed, the mid-80s Johnny Carson look.
01:57I even have some topical 80s jokes like Johnny.
02:00So we wrote some jokes based on things that happened, like, this week in the 80s.
02:04So in theaters this week, in 1980, The Empire Strikes Back was at the movie.
02:11Wild, wild stuff.
02:14A couple of years if you haven't seen it, but turns out Luke's father is Darth Vader.
02:19Even scarier, his mother is Joan Rivers.
02:23On this day, in 1982, the Surgeon General, C. Everett Koop, released a warning stating that video games could be hazardous to your health.
02:34And he's right.
02:34I played Donkey Kong for six hours yesterday.
02:37Then I went out on my lawn.
02:38I threw a barrel at an Italian.
02:40On November 10th, 1985, the number one show on TV was The Cosby Show on NBC, starring Bill Cosby as an OB-GYN, a fact that I predict will age very well.
02:57And on November 10th, 1983, under Ronald Reagan, they shut down the government.
03:02It lasted for three full days.
03:05Can you imagine the government being shut down for three days?
03:11Here in the present, we are on day 41 of the Trump government shutdown.
03:15Democrats refused to sign on to a bill that would force millions of Americans off their health care and make it much more expensive for those who can afford health care.
03:24So Democrats drew a line in the sand.
03:27They said, we are not going over this.
03:28And today, after 41 days, they pulled out a shovel and a bucket and they ate all that sand and got nothing for it.
03:36Isn't that great?
03:37You know what they got?
03:38They got a promise for Republicans in the Senate to hold a vote on health care sometime in the future.
03:43And if there's one thing we know about Trump and his merry band of sycophants, it's that their word is as good as gold.
03:50I mean, it is incredible at his age that Chuck Schumer is still able to bend over so far.
03:56Chuck Schumer is basically every parent who tells their kid, no more iPad, that's it.
04:02Next thing you know, he's playing Roblox at the dinner table.
04:05This was such a big cave by the Democrats, Bruce Wayne offered to buy it.
04:11Dick Durbin, the Democrat, told Senate Majority Leader John Thune that he was, quote, counting on him to keep his word on this agreement.
04:18He said he assured me he would, which is exactly what Lucy said to Charlie Brown with the football.
04:24So now the House will vote and we'll see how that goes.
04:28Turns out all Trump had to do was threaten to starve poor people and he got his way.
04:33I'm sure he'll never do it again, though.
04:35Speaker Mike Johnson praised the bill, which is kind of all you need to know.
04:38Well, he said he's glad Democrats are finally ready to do what the American people have been asking them to do for weeks.
04:44Great. 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.
04:50We've got to get something out of this.
04:59Meanwhile, with all this going on, Trump is he posted up a storm on Truth Social this week,
05:06and he covered a range of topics from Biden and his auto pen to photos of his new ballroom.
05:13He bragged about getting the key to the city of Miami.
05:16He raged about the price of beef.
05:18He plugged his son Eric's book.
05:19He bashed Nancy Pelosi.
05:21He complained about voter ID.
05:22And we learned he's trying to get the NFL to name a stadium after him.
05:27Trump reportedly wants the Washington commanders to give him naming rights to their new stadium.
05:32Why would anyone ever want to name anything after a Don?
05:36I mean, look at Don Jr.
05:38It's not exactly a winning strategy.
05:42But he's a big football guy.
05:47Joe Montanning bad made an appearance at the commanders game yesterday,
05:50where he received a decidedly negative reception from the crowd.
05:54Please welcome the 45th and 47th president of the United States,
06:00Donald Trump, and secretary of court, Pete Hayes,
06:05as the president's chairman and vice president of our United States military.
06:15It's like a whole stadium full of Melanias.
06:18You think he can hear the boos, or does the narcissism force field block it all out?
06:30And then Trump, who, one of the fun underrated things about him is how little he knows about anything.
06:36Like, this is a guy who helped start the USFL.
06:38He owned a football team.
06:39And yet, anyone who knows anything about football can immediately tell he knows nothing about football.
06:46How many touchdowns did you have back then?
06:48Six, seven?
06:50I'm not sure I had any.
06:52I would have liked him as a quarterback.
06:54You definitely would have had, like, six, seven touchdowns there?
06:58He puts it in your hands.
06:59Now, you see some of the guys with the, you know, the powerful arms, and they throw it so hard.
07:05Tom Brady told me once, he said that, you know, you've got to put it in their hands.
07:09You've got to help them out a little bit.
07:10Yeah, that's incredible insight, isn't it?
07:12It turns out the quarterback, you know the guy with the powerful arms, the quarterback,
07:17has to put the ball in his teammates' hands.
07:19You've got to help them out a little bit.
07:20The announcer was too busy trying to force six, seven in there to notice.
07:24And then, like a 79-year-old man who's going to know six, seven, and that team photo,
07:31let's have a look at that team photo again, because there he is, number 85, in the military academy.
07:36This is about four years before those terrible bone spurs sprouted up
07:39and prevented him from serving his country in Vietnam.
07:42We probably would have won that if he was able to fight.
07:45Before he arrived, Trump had his plane fly over the stadium,
07:51dazzling fans with what some are calling the greatest flyover ever.
07:57I just want to say, was that the greatest flyover ever?
08:01Nobody's ever done a flyover like that.
08:03That's right.
08:04No one ever has done a, it was the greatest flyover and the greatest combover ever.
08:10Sadly, that was the only flight into D.C. that wasn't canceled yesterday.
08:16More than 2,200 flights were canceled because of this stupid shutdown.
08:20His transportation secretary, Sean Duffy, said that before Thanksgiving,
08:25air travel could be reduced to a trickle,
08:27which is the same reason Trump's doctors put him on flow mats.
08:32Today, Trump lashed out at air traffic controllers who stayed home because they aren't getting paid.
08:37He wrote,
08:37We would also like to extend that offer to you, Mr. President.
08:56We are not too thrilled with you either.
09:05Trump's negative job rating is at 63% right now.
09:08This is reportedly the line for the food bank at the Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas.
09:14There was a big spike in military families having to line up to get food, which is completely insane.
09:21The same was true for our men and women overseas.
09:23The Army even posted and then unposted a list on their website of food banks in Germany
09:28where Americans working on our base there could get assistance,
09:32all because our politicians are busy measuring each other's Wienerschnitzels.
09:37It's not just the military he's trying to starve out.
09:39Trump is also doing his best to cut off SNAP benefits for civilians.
09:43I think I figured out why Trump hates SNAP so much.
09:46I think it's because his fingers are too small to do it.
09:52Trump is, maybe if they change the name.
09:56We, in order to combat this, we set up a big, beautiful food bank in our parking lot.
10:02So we've been collecting donations on behalf of two great organizations,
10:08St. Joseph Center and the L.A. Food Bank.
10:11We collected a lot of food already.
10:13We're going to keep doing this until they get their act together.
10:15So go to our Instagram page, Jimmy Kimmel Live.
10:18You can see what is needed there.
10:19We take donations from 9 to 5.
10:21Or if you prefer to give money, you can do it at stjosephcenter.org or lafoodbank.org.
10:26Thank you for all the money people that have come by and donated.
10:31You may remember he promised the lower grocery prices on day one.
10:37And, of course, he hasn't.
10:38But he is focused on other more important stuff like magnets.
10:42Magnets.
10:43If China refused to give magnets, because they have a monopoly on magnets, because they were allowed to happen over a 32-year period,
10:52there wouldn't be a car made in the entire world.
10:55There wouldn't be a radio.
10:56There wouldn't be a television.
10:57There wouldn't be internet.
10:58There wouldn't be anything, because magnets are such a part.
11:01Now, nobody knows what magnets are.
11:03They don't?
11:08No.
11:09I could have sworn I've seen them all over my mother's refrigerator.
11:12I must be mistaken.
11:15Nobody knows what they are.
11:16Trump pulled a fast one in the middle of the night last night.
11:19He gave get-out-of-jail-free cards to all his cronies who were mixed up in the fake elector scheme.
11:24He pardoned 77 people last night, including Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, the entire staff of the Four Seasons Total Landscaping, and the dildo shop next door.
11:34They announced the pardons in the middle of the night, because, you know, if they do this during the daylight, Rudy's skin bursts into flames.
11:42But Rudy Giuliani, they say he hasn't been this happy since he almost got the third base with Borat's daughter.
11:48The White House Press Secretary, Carolyn Levitt, said these great Americans were persecuted and put through hell by the Biden administration for challenging an election, which is the cornerstone of democracy, which is why they pardoned them in the middle of the night.
12:05There's no such thing as shame anymore.
12:07Remember those PSAs in the 80s that would tell you not to use drugs or stay in school?
12:12Great, Cameron, you remember the one we did?
12:13Yeah, I do.
12:14Do you remember what it was about?
12:15About pornography.
12:18That's right.
12:19Yeah.
12:19And since we are celebrating 80s week, we dug it up, and we thought you might want to have a look.
12:24Hi, I'm Jimmy Kimmel.
12:26I came Reno on My Baby is a Robot.
12:28And I'm Guillermo from the Miami Sound Machine.
12:32We believe that children are our future.
12:34Kids are so incorporated.
12:36Word, G.
12:37But sometimes, even the raddest kids get exposed to things that are grody to the max.
12:42Like, boom.
12:43That's right.
12:43Kids and nudie magazines don't mix.
12:46You have magazines?
12:47I do.
12:48I've got magazines you should never look at.
12:51Magazines like Playboy.
12:53Penhouse.
12:54Gent.
12:56Shockers.
12:58Banana pants.
12:59Cute and booze.
13:01Oi.
13:02Yocks.
13:03And penis time.
13:10Oh, sometimes it's tempting to look at naked ladies, but you have to say, no.
13:15Adult material is for adults.
13:18Let's keep it that way.
13:19And if we do, one day in the future, by the year 2025, kids will have no way to access pornography at all.
13:26What are you doing?
13:30I should ask you the same question, mister.
13:33Where'd you get all these magazines?
13:35Here, granted.
13:35No Atari for two weeks.
13:37That's right.
13:38Dad.
13:39The guy from My Baby is a Robot is in my room.
13:42Don't call you, dad.
13:42You want to see the dance?
13:44Get the stuff, Guillermo.
13:46The robot.
13:48Bye.
13:48Oh, and don't forget, kids.
13:51A clean brain is a healthy brain.
13:54This message brought to you by McGrady of Phonelm.
13:57Take a bite out of porn.
14:02All right, we got a great show tonight.
14:04Mike Tyson is here.
14:05We're moving some fifth of the cross.
14:07And we'll be right back with George Clooney.
14:09Hey, welcome.
14:39Matt tonight, one of the great fighters of all time.
14:42He has a new one-man show called Return of the Mic.
14:44Mike Tyson is with us tonight.
14:47And then later, a five-time Grammy Award winner.
14:50You can see him riding like the wind live on tour this spring,
14:53sitting in with the Cletones.
14:55Christopher Cross is here.
14:59Last time you were here, you did Ride Like the Wind with Ron Burgundy.
15:05Will Ferrell was here.
15:06That was an amazing thing.
15:07Wonderful.
15:07Big thrill, yeah.
15:08That was fun.
15:09Really fun.
15:09What are you going to do tonight?
15:10What song?
15:11Do Sailing for you.
15:12Oh, Sailing for you.
15:12Oh, my God.
15:13All right.
15:14So, thank you.
15:15Christopher Cross is here.
15:16This week, we're bringing the 80s back with totally radical guests,
15:21including Danny DeVito, Jason Bateman, Mr. T, Debbie Gibson,
15:25Morgan Fairchild will be here.
15:26We'll have music from Susanna Hoffs, Howard Jones, and Men at Work.
15:30And tomorrow night, the one and only Eddie Murphy will join us.
15:32So, please join us for that.
15:35Our first guest tonight made his television sitcom debut on The Facts of Life back in September
15:41of 1985.
15:43And he's done pretty good since then.
15:44He stars alongside Adam Sandler in Noel Baumbach's Jay Kelly.
15:48It opens the theaters November 14th and on Netflix December 5th.
15:52Please welcome George Clooney.
16:19How are you?
16:21Christopher Cross is here, man.
16:23Christopher Cross.
16:24I'm such a fan.
16:25Ever seen Christopher Cross live in concert?
16:27I have not.
16:27But, you know, growing up in Kentucky, we started with Sailing, I think, was your first big one.
16:32He's going to do that tonight.
16:34And then you sang the theme to Arthur, which was amazing.
16:38Yeah.
16:38It's pretty fun.
16:39Pretty exciting.
16:39The moment in New York City.
16:40Think of Laura.
16:41Yes.
16:42Yeah, we could go on and on, Christopher.
16:44Yeah.
16:45Go ahead.
16:45Is it weird for you to think of a young George Clooney singing along in his car to your songs?
16:51George is still young.
16:52Come on.
16:52That's right.
16:56You know, I always liked Christopher Cross.
17:00Maybe he'll write a song about you.
17:02What kind of car were you driving?
17:04A 76 Monte Carlo.
17:06Oh, wow.
17:07Wow.
17:08You know, it had rust all over and it said, danger car on the back of it.
17:12In space tape.
17:13Remember space tape?
17:14Yeah.
17:15You guys don't remember.
17:16Danger car.
17:17It might as well say, pull me over.
17:19I know.
17:20By the way, I did that to Pitt once.
17:22I got a bumper sticker on the back of his car in the shape of a pot plant.
17:28And I put, you know, you don't ever look at the back of your car.
17:31And I put it on the back of his car and on it, it said, excuse my language, cops.
17:39Guaranteed to get pulled over.
17:40There's no way you don't get pulled over with that bumper sticker on the back of your car.
17:45On the back of his Prius.
17:46Yeah, I enjoyed it.
17:56People, I would imagine, often ask, why am I friends with you?
17:59I know.
18:00Yes, most people.
18:02What year did you move to L.A.?
18:04You said you drove out here.
18:0582.
18:0682.
18:06Yeah.
18:06And when you came out here, was it like right away you started working?
18:10No, God, no.
18:11It was like, you know, I think it was 84, 85 before I started getting work.
18:16The first job I did was a movie.
18:20This is an insane story.
18:21But I did a movie with an actress that I'm working with in this movie, Laura Dern, 40 years ago.
18:26She was 15.
18:28And, yeah.
18:29And that movie was called?
18:31It was called Grizzly to the Predator.
18:33I get eaten by a bear.
18:36And we were shooting it in Budapest.
18:39It was Charlie Sheen, Laura Dern, and I.
18:40We get killed in the first scene.
18:43But it was a cheap, low-budget film, and they ran out of money.
18:46We got stuck in Budapest.
18:48And this is communist, you know, Iron Curtain Budapest for, like, two months.
18:52They just left you there?
18:53We just hung out.
18:55Eating, like, paprika chicken every day.
18:58Waiting for them to fly you home?
19:00Somebody to give us some money to go home.
19:02I'm serious.
19:03And would you be surprised to know we have a clip from that film?
19:08Yeah.
19:09Did that...
19:10Oh.
19:14When's the last time you saw even a little bit of Grizzly 2, the Predator?
19:20Well, it never came out.
19:21Oh, it didn't?
19:21It was never released.
19:22And then suddenly, some knucklehead about two years ago got a bunch of stock footage and
19:27put it together and made us all the star of the movie now and released it.
19:31And then I got a lot of crappy reviews, which I, you know...
19:3440 years later.
19:35Well, let's see if there weren't it.
19:37It's not true.
19:39Turn on noise.
19:45Land.
19:45Not funny.
19:48Ah!
19:55So, we messed up.
19:56Were you super psyched when you got that part?
19:59I was so excited.
20:00It was my first job.
20:01I was really excited.
20:01And that's how you met Laura?
20:02I met Laura there.
20:03And Charlie there, yeah.
20:04And Charlie was there.
20:06Yeah.
20:06And Charlie...
20:07Was there an actual bear on set or no?
20:09No.
20:09There was, like, a guy with a bear paw that he would do with...
20:12You know.
20:14I mean, it was a disaster.
20:15You, um...
20:16I don't think we could talk about the 80s without mentioning your appearance on The Facts
20:20of Life.
20:21Yes, I had to.
20:22You've got...
20:23Now, look at that hair.
20:28A carpenter, right?
20:29Oh, yeah.
20:32That's a mullet, dude.
20:34You know, some prop guy handed me a hammer.
20:37You know that, right?
20:38Here's a hammer.
20:39Of course.
20:39They're like, okay, you're a carpenter, so here's a hammer.
20:42Yeah.
20:42Hold the hammer.
20:43And look at me.
20:44Look how willing I am to hold a hammer.
20:46Yeah, because you probably want to hit him on the head with it, right?
20:49At that point in your life, somebody hands you a hammer for a headshot, and you're like,
20:53okay, I'm going to take the thing.
20:55And here you are with your co-stars from Facts of Life.
20:57Oh, yeah.
20:58The girls.
20:58I know.
21:00You know what?
21:01You notice Nancy and I have the exact same haircut.
21:04You do.
21:05Look at that.
21:05Blair's got the...
21:06Yeah, you've all got the same...
21:08Lisa has the same haircut.
21:09Mindy's pretty close, too.
21:10It's like there was one hair place in the 80s, and everyone...
21:13Everyone went to it, you know?
21:16Did you have a mullet?
21:17No, I did not have a mullet.
21:18No, no, no.
21:20Did you...
21:20Yeah, would you call that a mullet?
21:22I don't know.
21:22I had a mullet.
21:22Well, that's the early stages.
21:24Later, it got longer in the back and shorter on the side.
21:26As you do.
21:27Who gave you the mullet?
21:29I don't know.
21:30It was my fault.
21:30Your parents took you to the...
21:32My parents weren't taking me to the barber.
21:34They didn't?
21:35This was an adult mullet you had.
21:36This was, like, three years ago.
21:40Hey, I do want to say that my wife and I went to see you in Good Night and Good Luck on Broadway,
21:45and, man, was that just absolutely great.
21:48And now that is on Amazon on Prime Video, right?
21:52Yeah, it's on Prime Video, yeah.
21:52People can watch it.
21:53We did a live version of it.
21:54How many shows did you do?
21:55Like, 103, I think, altogether.
21:58103?
21:58Okay.
21:58That's a lot.
21:59That is a lot of shows.
22:01As you get older, it gets harder to remember your lines.
22:03Does it, even if you've done it 50 times, you then have a problem remembering the lines?
22:07Yeah, and it gets harder to remember your lines.
22:11No, it's...
22:12I mean, you do really start to forget crap, you know what I mean?
22:15Terrible.
22:16Uh, schmuck.
22:16Okay.
22:17All right.
22:17Well, you sent me up for that.
22:18Mike Tyson's back.
22:19Hey, Mike Tyson is back.
22:20Have you met Mike Tyson before?
22:22I haven't met Mike Tyson before.
22:23I haven't.
22:24I'm going to meet him when I walk out of here.
22:25I want to say...
22:26You know, I...
22:26The only person I've ever met of that...
22:30In that profession, I was in Milan about...
22:3325 years ago, maybe longer, and I was at a nightclub, and there was a guy in, like,
22:37a purple suit, purple tie, really handsome, kind of strong, stocky guy, and he keeps like,
22:43George, man, and he keeps punching me in the chest, you know?
22:46Right.
22:46I'm like, dude, what are you doing?
22:48And he's like, hey, man, hey, man, and he's punching me in the chest.
22:51I finally, I grab him by the face.
22:53I go, dude, if you hit me one more time, I'm going to knock your f***ing clock off.
22:57Right?
22:57And he's like, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
23:00And he's laughing.
23:01Next morning, I wake up, my buddy goes, you were pretty drunk last night.
23:04And I was like, yeah, I wasn't drunk at all.
23:07What are you talking about?
23:07He goes, you grab, you know, marvelous Marvin Hagler by the face?
23:12Oh, my God.
23:13Yeah.
23:14I mean, I'm lucky to be here right now.
23:18You're looking at my face.
23:19Look at me.
23:19George Clooney
23:21Is movie star
23:22Do you have any regrets
23:28What's your name
23:29Phoebe
23:30You're a tough one Phoebe
23:33I'll see you all
23:36In Tuscany
23:37Everything's so nice
23:45People are so nice by the way
23:47Who's the best peanuts I've ever had
23:48It's a good peanut
23:50A European peanut
23:51I didn't offer you one
23:52Because I know about your allergy
23:53That's right
23:54My throat will close
23:55And I will die
23:55How can I play people
23:57When I don't see people
23:58And touch people
24:00Don't touch people
24:01That is George Clooney
24:03In King Clooney
24:05With Laura Dern
24:06And Adam Sandler
24:07What a great movie this is
24:09And you guys are all really great
24:11Were you surprised Adam Sandler
24:13Is so good in this movie
24:14You know Adam's a really good actor
24:15I agree
24:16And he was really wonderful
24:18In the film
24:18And we had a blast doing it
24:19And like as you see
24:21Laura and I
24:21Have been working together
24:22For nearly 40 years
24:23Yeah
24:24I mean I thought
24:27You'd been killed
24:27By that bear
24:28I didn't realize
24:29That you survived
24:29There's still time
24:30Did you play basketball
24:31With Adam
24:32I played a lot of basketball
24:33With him over the
24:34Over the over
24:34Like I think about 30 years ago
24:36When I was on Saturday Night Live
24:38We started playing
24:38Oh you started then
24:39Yeah yeah yeah
24:40So we haven't played in a while
24:41Wow
24:42Yeah yeah yeah
24:42Who's better
24:43That's a good question
24:44Since
24:45Don't tell anyone
24:46Uh huh
24:47I'm so much better
24:49No he's got a
24:52You know I've gotten older
24:53And I've stopped
24:53I just shoot from the outside
24:55Oh you do
24:55Anyway I saw you playing basketball
24:57Terrible
24:58Against Ted Cruz
24:58Yeah yeah yeah
24:59I played with you one time
25:02Yes you did
25:03Yeah
25:03At my home
25:04Yeah no basketball's not my sport
25:06Yeah I can tell that
25:07I don't
25:08Is there
25:09Is there a sport
25:10Um
25:11You know I'm
25:13I'm okay at baseball
25:14I bet
25:15Yeah
25:15Okay
25:15Do we have
25:16Do we happen to have that clip
25:18On
25:18Is there the clip
25:19Handy
25:19Now there's a clip
25:20That I like to have handy
25:21At all times
25:21A baseball clip
25:22And here's Jimmy
25:23There he is
25:24Wow
25:26Oh wow
25:27Look at that
25:28Whoa
25:28Whoa
25:30Whoa
25:32Since you brought it up
25:37You know I thought
25:38It's amazing that that clip
25:39Was waiting
25:40Is it always skewed up
25:41Honestly I don't think
25:43We've showed it for two years
25:44But I'm real happy
25:45It's there
25:45I have to say
25:47Somebody back there
25:47Has got quick fingers
25:48Your character
25:50Yes
25:50Jay Kelly
25:51Gets honored in the movie
25:52Yeah
25:52At this film festival
25:54And it's
25:54I won't give away
25:56What goes on
25:57But
25:57Everyone dies in the end
25:58But you're sitting
26:00In the theater
26:01Yeah
26:01And you're watching
26:02This montage
26:03Tribute
26:04It's tribute
26:05Films about your life
26:06Which I'm sure
26:06You've probably done
26:07In real life before
26:08Yeah
26:08From a time or two
26:10Yeah
26:10So
26:10And it's
26:11It's kind of crazy
26:12To like
26:13Look at that
26:13I think there
26:14How many
26:14Like 15
26:15Well they're using clips
26:17From actual films
26:18I was in
26:18Yeah
26:18I'm playing a character
26:19Who's an actor
26:20And it's
26:21I mean
26:21It freaked me out
26:23Man
26:23And all of a sudden
26:23There's
26:24You know
26:24Again as you can see
26:25A lot of bad haircuts
26:26That I had to get through
26:27Yeah
26:28It started from the early age
26:29But an amazing body of work
26:31Do you help pick those
26:33Or do you leave that to the director
26:34I didn't even know
26:35He was going to use them
26:35Oh you didn't
26:36No I thought he was going to do
26:37Some CGI thing
26:38And make me look young
26:39Or something
26:40Which I wouldn't mind
26:41He didn't have to
26:44Because your whole life
26:45Has been recorded
26:46I know
26:46I can't hide from it
26:47That's really an unbelievable thing
26:48You know
26:49I think a lot of people
26:49Make a lot out of
26:51Oh this character
26:52Because what Noah said
26:54That he wrote this
26:55Specifically for you
26:56And he wouldn't make the movie
26:58If you'd said no
26:59Yeah I kind of doubt that
27:01You doubt that
27:01I think I was the cheapest one available
27:03Goes to like Tom Cruise
27:06And he's like
27:06Nah I'm not going to do that
27:07Uh huh
27:08No I
27:08Yeah I'm just very lucky
27:10To get to work with a director
27:11Like that
27:12Is that a lot of pressure though
27:13When a guy says like
27:14Hey listen
27:14I've written this movie
27:15And it's written for you
27:17And you've got to be the star
27:18And then what if you want to say no
27:20Well no
27:21It's not a lot of pressure
27:22I mean I would be
27:23I was excited to get a part like that
27:25You know
27:25When you're my age
27:26You know
27:27I'm 64
27:28You know
27:28The thing is
27:29Like
27:29Okay
27:31Now here's what happens
27:33You get to a certain age
27:34They applaud you
27:35Yeah yeah yeah
27:36It's like
27:36Thank you
27:37Oh he's still gumming his bread
27:39Wow
27:40What a thing
27:41He's still with us
27:43God bless him
27:43Look at him
27:45He walked in the chair
27:46By himself
27:47Oh
27:47Oh
27:48I'm telling you
27:50When I was 20
27:51And I heard somebody died
27:52At 64
27:52I go
27:53Yeah
27:53Yeah
27:54Yeah
27:54Yeah
27:54Yeah
27:54Yeah
27:55Yeah
27:55Yeah
27:55Yeah
27:55Yeah
27:55Yeah
27:55Yeah
27:55Yeah
27:55Yeah
27:56Yeah
27:56Yeah
27:56Yeah
27:57The Beatles wrote a song about it
27:58For God's sake
27:59Yeah
28:00Well it's great to have you here
28:01You too
28:01Congratulations on the movie

28:59Please welcome Mike Tyson
29:01How are you?
29:21How are you doing?
29:22Mike did you think you'd still be around after the 80s you had?
29:26No
29:27No
29:27No
29:29The 90s was pretty tricky too
29:31You haven't been here since
29:36A week before you fought Jake Paul on Netflix
29:39Yes
29:40And I just want to say something to you
29:41Tell me
29:42Because I don't know if you remember this
29:44But during the commercial break
29:45You and I had a little chat
29:46And I said
29:46Hey are you really
29:48Are you going to win?
29:48Are you like real serious about this?
29:50Because I'm going to bet a lot of money
29:52And you're like
29:52Yes
29:53I am going to win
29:54I bet money too
29:55You did?
29:58And I bet more money than I've ever bet on anything before
30:01Oh me too
30:02You did
30:03You bet on yourself huh?
30:05Yeah
30:05Who'd you bet with in Vegas?
30:07Excuse me?
30:08No
30:08No
30:09You did it on an app?
30:10Yeah
30:10Yeah right
30:11Yeah you can't walk up to the cage and go
30:13Although if I saw you walk up to the cage and bet on yourself
30:16I'd be like
30:16Get all our money everybody
30:18He's betting
30:19He's betting on himself
30:20Yeah
30:21That fight didn't go as well as I was hoping it would
30:27I know
30:28Neither
30:29What about me?
30:31Both of us really
30:33But there was a highlight of the fight
30:35I think we have
30:35Actually it was a pre-fight situation
30:38Vicious win
30:38Vicious win
30:39Thank you Doug
30:40Love you
30:41Love you too
30:42And we all got to see you again
30:45Yeah
30:46Yeah
30:49Hey listen
30:55That's pretty customary
30:58It's just that they happen to take advantage of that situation
31:00All fighters walk around like that in their locker room
31:04That's how it is
31:05You walk around with a jock strap on
31:06No it's a cup
31:08Oh a cup
31:09Yeah it looks like chaps but it's a cup
31:12Okay
31:12And that um
31:14And you know
31:14But you don't wear socks
31:15You do wear a cup
31:16You do not wear socks
31:17No socks
31:17No socks
31:18Never wear socks
31:19No ever
31:20Why no socks
31:21This drives me crazy
31:22I'll be honest
31:22I only used it for fighting
31:26Where that was my image
31:27Just real hardcore
31:28No socks
31:29And then I
31:30I
31:30By somehow
31:31I discovered
31:33I had a very um
31:35Disintegrating
31:37Dose of foot fungus
31:39And um
31:41It was really bad
31:42It's still bad
31:43I got it fixed
31:44You know
31:44I did
31:44Come on
31:46I'm serious man
31:47So would you say
31:48That foot fungus
31:49Is your greatest opponent
31:50Of all the
31:51Well I would have to say so
31:53Because it's still kicking my ass now
31:55You should make a great commercial
31:58For Gessen X
31:59Gessen X
32:00Gessen X
32:01Gessen X can't help me
32:02Gessen X
32:02Gessen X cannot help me
32:05I told them that they blew up
32:08In March of 1985
32:09You had your first professional fight
32:11Yes I did
32:12You remember who you fought?
32:14Hector Mercedes
32:15Hector Mercedes
32:15I don't forget the name
32:17You um
32:18He put up a good fight
32:20For the part of one round
32:22That he fought you
32:24Before you knocked him down
32:25And he decided not to get up
32:27Well I was only 18
32:28I was just learning to do this stuff
32:30Were you scared at that time?
32:32To death
32:32You were?
32:33Yeah
32:33How scared were you?
32:35Like did you think about backing out?
32:37100%
32:37I'm probably the most scariest guy
32:40When it comes to
32:41You know fighting
32:42Like yeah
32:42Last night I did my show
32:43For the first time in five years
32:45You know I was sweating like
32:46I was
32:46And a spelling bee man
32:48We had a spelling bee here once
32:52Yeah
32:52Oh
32:52That's right
32:53Remember my spelling bee here
32:57I had
32:57Yeah
32:57Did I pass?
32:58Did I pass?
32:59Yeah we had the kids
33:00And everything right?
33:01Oh the kids
33:02Spelled better than me?
33:04They spelled better than both of us
33:06Yeah
33:06Yeah
33:06Yeah they were champions though
33:08You know they're champion kids
33:09I mean it would be
33:10But believe me
33:11In the ring
33:11You could have crushed those kids
33:13Thank God
33:14Thank God
33:15You didn't form this at all
33:17Okay so we did a little bit of math
33:20And um
33:21You fought 15 times that first year
33:24Yes I did
33:25Why so many fights?
33:26Um
33:27Good experience
33:28Experience
33:29You um
33:30You averaged two minutes and 37 seconds per fight
33:34That's how your opponents average two minutes and 37 seconds per fight
33:38They got paid quick
33:39They did
33:40No overtime
33:43Did you start to feel invincible at that point?
33:48Just mowing through these guys?
33:50Well that's what fighting um prepared to make you feel that way
33:55It does
33:56Yeah and then life humbles you
33:57Yeah I don't think it made all those guys you fought feel that way
34:02I think life humbled them pretty good
34:05But then you fought um Trevor Burbick
34:08Uh you beat Trevor Burbick to win the heavyweight title
34:11Yes I did
34:12In uh two rounds right?
34:14Yes
34:14Just under two rounds
34:15And then you got this uh belt
34:18And you like unlike a lot of people who would put the belt in a frame or something like that
34:22You wore the belt around
34:25Absolutely
34:26I used to dream about that when I was like a 14 years old
34:29I'm watching a guy wear the belt
34:30I used to dream about being the champ having that belt on my waist
34:33So you'd go to like whatever the dentist or the mall
34:37Oh yeah absolutely with the belt on my waist
34:38And you wanted the belt on
34:39A hundred percent
34:40And at this time you'd become so popular
34:47And I mean I remember it was like
34:49I just I remember when you were fighting how excited I was
34:53To watch you just come out and lay waste
34:56I don't I mean I felt it felt like I was the one doing it in some ways
35:00Though I was most certainly not I played the clarinet
35:03What celebs did you hang out with in that time
35:08Or you just you and you became this sensation
35:10Who were you like hanging with
35:13Michael Anthony Hall
35:15Eddie Murphy
35:15Rick James
35:16Anthony Michael Hall
35:19That seems like an odd duo
35:20No um
35:22I don't know how old these people are
35:24But do you remember Anthony Michael Hall
35:27Listen
35:28Now listen
35:28I was a young kid
35:2919 years old
35:30Young guy
35:31You're starting to get around the world of celebrities
35:34And this little guy comes out the limousine
35:37Comes in
35:38He sits at the table
35:39The restaurant
35:40He buys everybody's food
35:42He has a credit card
35:43I never saw a credit card in my life
35:45I'm 18, 19 years old
35:46He's a little white guy
35:48Skinny guy
35:49He's got everybody following
35:50He's like the King Hayes
35:52Oh there you are
35:52I'm like
35:53This little guy right here
35:55Yeah
35:55He's got the credit card
35:57He's by himself
35:58Everybody's following
35:59Like the pie
35:59He looks like me
36:00Yeah
36:01Yeah
36:01Yeah
36:01He wasn't you
36:03No no no
36:04So he had a lot of swagger
36:06Oh man
36:07You couldn't believe this
36:08And then you just
36:09He's at the fight
36:10Everybody's following
36:11He's a little kid
36:12He's a kid
36:13He can't
36:13He's not old enough
36:14To probably go in the fights alone
36:16He's a big kid
36:18Did you watch his movies?
36:19Yeah
36:20I watched his movies
36:21Oh you do
36:21Oh you do
36:23You love the John Hughes movies
