00:40Let's go!
00:44Come on!
00:45Come on!
00:51Come on, welcome, welcome, welcome!
00:53Come on!
00:54That's right!
00:55Come on, yeah!
00:57Thank you very much, everybody!
00:58That's what I'm talking about.
01:07Thank you so much. Enjoy yourself. Enjoy yourself, everybody.
01:10Welcome, welcome, welcome to The Tonight Show.
01:13You're here.
01:15Thank you for watching at home.
01:17I'm very excited about this.
01:18From the biggest show in the world, Stranger Things,
01:21Noah Schnapp is here tonight.
01:27The best.
01:27A lot has changed between season four and season five.
01:32Yeah, in season four, Noah's character, Will Byers,
01:34looked like this.
01:36Yeah.
01:36And in season five, he looks like this.
01:39Which is interesting.
01:41That's great.
01:42Amazing.
01:43Looks good.
01:46Now, backstage, I asked Noah to describe the Upside Down,
01:50and he said,
01:55And I said, oh, so it's like being at the tree lighting.
01:57Yeah, I know that feeling.
02:00That's right.
02:01Earlier tonight, tens of thousands of people attended
02:03the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree lighting.
02:06The crowd out there is crazy.
02:08Today I was walking to work,
02:09and the riptide of people carried me out to New Jersey.
02:11Oh.
02:12But the tree is lit, and it's the official start of the holiday season.
02:17That's right.
02:20It's the start.
02:23It's that special time of year when every mall Santa wakes up from hibernation.
02:28It's like, whiskey, whiskey.
02:30I saw that this year's tree is 75 feet tall and weighs 11 tons.
02:36The tree was like, you can just say 75 feet tall.
02:43Yeah, tonight was the lighting of the Rockefeller Christmas tree,
02:46and they actually had a little trouble lighting it this year,
02:48but luckily, someone was there to help.
02:50But take a look.
02:50Three, two, one!
03:13That's my man Noah Schnapp saved the day!
03:19Thank you, Will.
03:21Some news from the White House.
03:23President Trump has been focused on building his new ballroom,
03:26and he just said that Melania is upset
03:28over all the construction noise.
03:30Ooh. Ooh.
03:32It must be really loud, because she lives 200 miles away.
03:34So I'm just...
03:43Oh, that's a good one.
03:46No, Melania...
03:47Melania is so mad about the construction,
03:49she stopped speaking to Trump nine years ago.
03:51That's funny.
03:55Trump rarely hears the noise,
03:57because half his day is spent in a tanning bed,
03:59the other half is in an MRI.
04:00So he doesn't know what's happening.
04:02The...
04:02The construction noise is brutal,
04:05but it's the only thing keeping Trump awake.
04:07But this war is going on,
04:09and the president is trying to end it.
04:10There you go.
04:13There you go.
04:13There you go.
04:13Okay.
04:17Well, this is going viral.
04:18Yesterday at a White House Cabinet meeting,
04:20there was a misspelling on Pete Hegseth's name card.
04:23Can we see it?
04:25Look at that.
04:25There's two S's.
04:26This is what happens
04:29when you dismantle the Department of Education.
04:31That's what I'm saying.
04:33Don't do it.
04:35Come on.
04:37Well, switching gears,
04:38the Postal Service, FedEx, and UPS
04:41just announced their holiday shipping deadlines.
04:44Yep, the FedEx and UPS deadline
04:45is December 23rd,
04:47and the Postal Service deadline
04:49is last Easter.
04:50Yeah, the last date
04:54to ship the gift is December 23rd.
04:57Then scratch-offs were like,
04:59after that, all you's got is us.
05:01That's all.
05:03Well, get this.
05:04The FDA just announced a recall
05:05of over 250,000 cases of shredded cheese
05:09because it may contain metal fragments.
05:12What?
05:13Customers knew something was wrong
05:14when they could grate the cheese with their cheese.
05:20Meanwhile, there's also a recall
05:24on some Ritz crackers with cheese
05:26because they might actually contain peanut butter.
05:29No shredded cheese, no Ritz crackers.
05:32Now how's Papa John's supposed to make a pizza?
05:36Come on.
05:39Oh, man.
05:41Finally, guys, we have exactly 10 shows left
05:44before we go on Christmas break,
05:45which means it's time for that beloved
05:47Tonight Show tradition,
05:4812 Days of Christmas Sweaters.
05:50Here we go.
05:5112 days of Christmas Sweaters,
05:5410 days left.
05:58That's right.
06:00Every show between now and Christmas
06:03will be giving one lucky audience member
06:05a fab-tacular Christmas sweater
06:08from our countdown to Christmas cabinet.
06:12Since there are 10 shows left,
06:14let's open door number 10.
06:18Are you ready?
06:22Yes, Jimmy, I am.
06:23Oh, wow.
06:24I know exactly where it is.
06:29No, over here, over here, over here.
06:30Do you want me to do it?
06:31It's right here.
06:32It's right here.
06:33It's right here.
06:33Ready?
06:34Okay, I am.
06:35Sorry.
06:36Just give me a minute.
06:38All right, I feel.
06:40Okay, yes, sorry.
06:41Whenever you're ready.
06:41Here we go.
06:42I'm close.
06:42Oh, wow.
06:47Oh, wow.
06:51Whoa.
06:55Oh, my goodness.
07:03That's fantastic.
07:04Now let's see who's going home with tonight's sweater.
07:09Everyone, look at your seat number.
07:11If I call your number, I need you to jump up
07:13and let me know where you are.
07:14Quest, can I get a drum roll, please?
07:18All right, who wants this sweater?
07:19This is a good one.
07:25Two, five, three!
07:28Come on.
07:34Wow!
07:37Perfect.
07:38What are we doing?
07:40This is perfect.
07:42What is your name and where are you from?
07:44My name is Kyle. I'm from Windhurst, New York.
07:46Hey, welcome. Thanks for being here.
07:47Thank you. Thank you.
07:49This is almost too perfect because you're on the aisle seat,
07:53and you really need more than a T-shirt.
07:56I mean, this is...
07:57I'm on the spirit.
07:58It's cold in this studio. I mean, it's freezing.
08:00Do you have anything like this at home?
08:02No. Definitely not.
08:04Would you mind trying it on for everyone?
08:05I will try it on.
08:05Yeah, here you go.
08:06I'm gonna help you out there.
08:11You got to get your head through the chimney hole.
08:15All right. All right.
08:16I want to make sure you can breathe.
08:19All right.
08:19Here we go.
08:20Ready to try it?
08:23Yeah.
08:24This is... Look at that.
08:25There you go.
08:27Look at that.
08:28You look great, buddy.
08:30Give our winner a round of applause.
08:31Stick around.
08:32We'll be right back with Noah Schnapp, everybody!
08:35I'm not talking about this.
08:37You get better on the moon.
08:38It's cold in the earth.
08:40It's cold in the earth.
08:41It's cold in the earth.
08:42It's cold in the earth.
08:44It's cold in the earth.
08:45It's cold in the earth.
08:46They'll come up to me, and they'll be like,
08:47I love your show. Thank you.
08:48And I'm like, thank you so much.
08:49I appreciate the support.
08:50And then they're like, I adore Harry Potter.
08:53I love the character.
08:55And I'm like, oh, wrong franchise.
08:57You know our first guest as Will Byers
09:12in the most-watched Netflix show of all time, Stranger Things.
09:16Volume 1 of the fifth and final season is streaming right now.
09:20Please welcome Noah Schnapp!
09:22I'm so glad you told me you feel like me, happy me
09:28Round and round you're talking to me
09:30I see me, you step away
09:32I'm so glad you told me you feel like me, you feel like me, you feel like me, you feel like me
09:38Welcome back!
09:39Hey, man.
09:41Feel the love!
09:44Feel the love!
09:46For Noah Schnapp, that's what I'm talking about!
09:50Wow.
09:52Welcome back to the show.
09:55We got so much to get into here.
09:58Let's get into it.
09:59The first four episodes of the final season of Stranger Things premiered last week
10:03and it literally crashed Netflix.
10:05Oh, it did, right?
10:06Yes.
10:07It's crazy.
10:07You broke Netflix for a little bit, yeah.
10:09It's already been streamed 60 million times and was number one in 90 countries.
10:14Wow.
10:16Not bad.
10:18I read somewhere that you said that you feel like Hannah Montana right now.
10:22I do, I do.
10:23What have the past few weeks been like?
10:25My friends always call me Hannah Montana because I also go to school in the middle of this.
10:29I'm a senior in college, actually.
10:32Hey!
10:33And during this past press tour, I was like, I stayed in school, but I went remote.
10:38So I would leave these premieres with all these screaming fans and then I'd hop in the car,
10:42I'd get on my Zoom in my suit and be like, hi, I'm sorry, I'm late for class.
10:45It was just on a premiere.
10:47And like, it's just the craziest, like, it is kind of Hannah Montana.
10:51That's hilarious because you're out there with all these screaming fans.
10:53You're wearing like these nice...
10:54And the teacher does not, she's like, no, your work was late.
10:57Yeah, yeah, yeah, you got to do it, yeah.
10:58I know the cast is really tight.
11:00You guys always post photos of you guys together.
11:02Do people freak out when they see you all together?
11:04Yeah, it's definitely, when we're all together, it's kind of insanity.
11:08But I will say, actually, when I'm alone, it's, I've been getting Harry Potter the past few years.
11:13It happened three times last year, which has never happened to me before.
11:17And it's funny because I, I, um...
11:19People think you're Harry Potter?
11:20Yeah, they'll come up to me and they'll be like, I love your show, thank you.
11:23And I'm like, thank you so much, I appreciate the support.
11:25And then they're like, I, I, I adore Harry Potter.
11:28I, I, I love the character.
11:30And I'm like, oh, wrong, wrong franchise.
11:33Yeah.
11:34But it's...
11:34There are a little, some similarities to...
11:36Some similarities.
11:37...to Stranger Things and Harry Potter this season.
11:39There's a little The Boy Who Lived, Zombie Boy kind of parallels.
11:43Yeah.
11:44Let's talk about what happened in season five.
11:47We're going to get into some spoilers right here.
11:50Sorry.
11:51No, I'm sorry, we're going to have to.
11:52Wait, people came here and haven't seen it yet?
11:54No, yeah.
11:55That one guy, that one guy has not seen it.
11:57Plug your ears, sir.
11:58Close your eyes.
11:59Security, we can have him removed.
12:01Yeah, get him out.
12:02And then we'll bring you back for the next segment.
12:04But if you haven't seen volume one yet, maybe pause this, watch it, and then watch the rest of this interview.
12:11Because we have to talk, and it begins now.
12:15Let's talk about what happened.
12:17Oh, my gosh!
12:19It was unbelievable!
12:21Oh, thank you.
12:22That was the best ending.
12:25There's a giant battle going on with the Demogorgons, okay?
12:29And it looks like they're going to win.
12:30And honestly, I got to tell you, I watched it last night, because I'm watching it with my daughter, and we were caught up to three, but we didn't watch the fourth one.
12:38And everyone was like, you've got to watch the fourth one. You haven't seen the fourth one. You're going to freak out.
12:41And I'm like, oh, no, no.
12:42That's what they told me before I read the scripts, and I also, like, freaked out when I read it.
12:46I was, uh, I thought you were going to die.
12:49Really?
12:49I felt sad, yeah. I go, oh, my God. This can't happen. He's my favorite.
12:53I love him.
12:55And I see you as Will, but I also see you as Noah, too, because I love you.
12:58And I go, I don't want him to. And I already told my kids how great you are as a person.
13:03And I go, we love him. I go, and it's happening. I go, and you're struggling. By the way, amazing acting.
13:08Thank you. Thank you.
13:09Great job.
13:09Oh, you're so sweet.
13:11Great job. The whole season.
13:14You're always great.
13:16And then it looks like they're about to, Demogorgons, Demogorgons are about to win.
13:21But then we find out Will has power.
13:24That's great.
13:25I remember reading that. I remember, like, people texting me before that script dropped, and they were like, Noah, you have to read the script.
13:34And I was like, oh, whatever, whatever. Like, it's another season of, and I was like, it's fine. I'll read at the table reads.
13:39And then I was like, more people started texting me. I was like, okay, maybe, like, I should read this before the table read.
13:44And I was like, oh, but I don't want to spoil it. I want to read it live there.
13:47And I was like, you know what? I'm in the shower. It's right before we leave.
13:50And I'm like, I'm just going to read it. I need to see what they're talking about.
13:52So I skim, skim, skim. I get to the end of 4, and it's, you know, that big reveal.
13:57And I was like, oh, my God! I was living with my assistant, Brooke, at the time.
14:01I burst out of the shower, like, half naked. I was like, Brooke, Brooke, read that. Read that last page.
14:05And she was like, a trail of blood. You have powers!
14:09And we were literally, like, I was half naked. We're sitting there. We have to go.
14:13We're 15 minutes late, and we're like, oh, my God! I have powers!
14:15Like, jumping around the apartment. We're like, we're late. We got to go.
14:19Oh, my gosh.
14:19Like, I had the same reaction as, like, a fan of the show.
14:23We went nuts. I screamed in my living room.
14:26Me and my daughter were like, yes!
14:27Some of those reaction videos, like, oh, my God, give me life.
14:30Like, it is so fun to watch.
14:32Dude, it was a roller coaster. You made me so nervous.
14:34It was unbelievable.
14:36But also, by the way, your acting was crusher, buddy.
14:39Because you're writhing around screaming, and I thought, you know,
14:43because they're burning the demogorgon.
14:45And then you posted this.
14:46Oh, yeah. So, this was actually on the day when I was screaming.
14:51I was screaming so much that day that I actually popped all the blood vessels
14:54in my face and my body.
14:56And this has never happened before. I was like, oh, my God.
14:59How long were you screaming?
15:00Like, it's so funny, because they cut it.
15:02I'm like, oh, it's three seconds in the show.
15:04I was screaming for four hours.
15:06They had me there for, like, two hours.
15:07Ah!
15:08Like, I'm like, guys, you couldn't have extended it a little bit?
15:10A little.
15:11But I called a doctor freaking out, like, oh, my God, oh, my God.
15:14Am I dying? Am I dying? And they're like, Noah, this is so common.
15:17This happens to women in labor.
15:19And I was like, oh, of course.
15:22Congratulations.
15:23Naturally, that's, you know.
15:24So, we went, also, oh, my God, I had a tendency to go overboard with the stunts
15:29this season, because with Derek, when I'm going to tackle him,
15:32they were like, Noah, he's amazing.
15:34Yeah.
15:34Kudos.
15:35Yeah.
15:36He's so good.
15:37But with him, when I was running, they were like, okay, so you're going to run,
15:40go full force, and then just stop halfway.
15:42Don't commit.
15:44And I was like, so stop in the air?
15:46Like, how does that work?
15:47So, then I commit, obviously, and I run, and I accidentally, like,
15:51pinned him down to the ground.
15:52He scraped, like, all his whole leg was bleeding.
15:55And this little boy was like, oh, my God, oh, my God, I can't, I can't,
15:58I can't, I hurt him, oh, my God.
16:00And he's like, he, like, rises out of the hay.
16:02And he's like, it's okay, Mr. Noah.
16:03I feel like Tom Cruise doing my own stunts.
16:07He's the cutest.
16:09He is the cutest.
16:10But, man, some of those stunts, like, will...
16:13Well, you have your own signature move for when you use your powers.
16:18Yes.
16:18Different than 11.
16:19Yeah, so, actually, it was originally supposed to just be this,
16:22but eventually we learn that it kind of comes, like, differently.
16:26It comes from Vecna.
16:26So, I kind of wanted to make sure that it's showing, like,
16:31him siphoning this energy out of him.
16:34And it was fun.
16:35Like, all this super...
16:36Even with the demo vision where my eyes rolled back
16:38and I was going like this, like, all these moments,
16:40they're not explicitly written.
16:41Like, eyes roll back, collapses, twitches when he's stitching channels.
16:45Like, you've got to get to just play.
16:47So, I was like, had the best time with the Duffers being like,
16:50what if we did this?
16:50What if we did that?
16:51I love Spider-Man.
16:52And it felt like a little, when I, like, outstretched my hand up.
16:55Like, it just was so fun.
16:56And they just let you do that and they go to try it?
16:58And that is one thing about them.
16:59Like, they will put full trust in all of us.
17:03And it's so special.
17:04I text them nonstop.
17:05Like, guys, I know I've texted you 400,000 times,
17:09but thank you so much.
17:10Like, this is so special for me.
17:12And, like, I've, like, dreamed of having stuff,
17:15like, opportunity like this.
17:17And it was, oh, like, it's such a dream.
17:20Dude, that's fantastic.
17:22I'm so happy that you're so grateful.
17:24But even the eyes, even your eyes, like...
17:29The eyes.
17:29And then later in the season, like, there's just some stuff
17:31where it's like, how do you do this?
17:33Like, what?
17:34And so I was just like, oh, I would channel animals a lot.
17:37So, like, with trying to not show this, like, sweet baby Will,
17:41I would pound on my chest and, like, make myself feel like
17:44a 6,000-pound gorilla.
17:46And I would, ooh, ooh, and huff and puff and shh.
17:48Yes!
17:49Like, you don't see, like, this little baby boy in there.
17:52No, I did not. It's a whole new character.
17:54Dude, I had a blast doing that stuff.
17:56Can I ask about the blood, the bloody...
17:59And then the blood...
17:59Oh, dude.
18:01Oh, my God, that take also, by the way, was...
18:03I was like, okay, this is the volume finale.
18:06We have to perfect this.
18:07We'll be here all night.
18:07Like, let's get comfortable.
18:09This is going to be take 100.
18:10We do one take, and I run into the tent to watch it with Ross,
18:14and we both look at each other like...
18:16That's it. Don't touch it. Don't touch it.
18:19Check, check. We're done.
18:19And it was just, like, a first one-take wonder, and, like...
18:22That was a one-take wonder.
18:23Oh, my God. I was, like...
18:24Wiping the blood from your nose.
18:25I videoed it on my phone for the year,
18:26and I would, like, play it on different Spotify scores
18:29to be like, oh, how does it sound with this score?
18:31Like, did we do this on that moment?
18:33They're like, no, we got it. Like, relax.
18:34I thought it would be kind of fun if we could maybe show everyone
18:37what that looks like in real time.
18:38Oh, we're doing it for real.
18:40I actually have fake blood.
18:41Oh.
18:43Okay.
18:44If you wanted to maybe see if we could do one-take wonder here.
18:47Okay.
18:51So...
18:52All right. What do we have to do?
18:55Should we set the mood?
18:57Can we get a little, like, score going?
18:58Yeah. All right. All right.
18:59So, I'll...
18:59So, which camera am I looking into?
19:01All right. You're going to look at camera three.
19:03All right. So, I'll get out of the way.
19:04So, you're going to put it up my nose?
19:05Yes. All right.
19:07So, I just... I'm going to squirt and walk away.
19:09Squirt it up there.
19:11Okay.
19:13Wait. No.
19:14Jimmy!
19:15Stop moving!
19:15Stop moving.
19:16Okay.
19:19All right, good. Go.
19:22Ha!
19:22Shhh!
19:28Yeah!
19:32I don't like this.
19:34It's too much blood.
19:34No, it wasn't.
19:36Perfect.
19:37With a perfect amount of blood.
19:38That's how you do it right there.
19:40I want to show everyone the flip.
19:42Word of warning, if you haven't watched yet,

20:38Noah's Snap Stranger Things 5 Volume 1 is streaming now on Netflix.
20:45We'll be right back with Gwen Stefani stick around, everybody.
20:48We'll be right back with Gwen Stefani.
20:50Are you actually kidding?
20:52What?
20:53We had this...
20:55Shut up, Jimmy!
20:56No, I swear to God.
20:57I...
20:58Oh, my gosh.
20:59It took me all night to make this.
21:01You did not.
21:03Our next guest is a Grammy-winning artist whose new single, Shake the Snow Globe, off her
21:19deluxe album, You Make It Feel Like Christmas, is available now only on Amazon Music.
21:25Please welcome the great Gwen Stefani!
21:43Come on, that's how you do it.
21:45That's the one and only. Come on.
21:47Gwen, welcome back to the show!
21:55Congrats on the deluxe album, by the way.
21:59I love the song. I want to get into all that.
22:00What did you bring me?
22:01I brought you...
22:02Well, I actually had this overnighted from Oklahoma in the last minute because I heard that you got into gardening.
22:10I did.
22:11Is that true?
22:12Yes, I did. I did. I started... I grew some plants this summer. Not successfully.
22:17Okay.
22:18It was pretty awful.
22:19This is an original purple iris from Oklahoma.
22:24This is from your property?
22:26Yes.
22:27You are unbelievable.
22:28I was like, I have to get him one because we discovered these during COVID.
22:33We were just all on the ranch and we'd go on these little, like, adventures.
22:37And we found these growing, like, probably someone 100 years ago planted them.
22:42And they just were, like, glowing in the sun.
22:45And then we started replanting them everywhere on the ranch.
22:48And now we're obsessed with irises.
22:50Blake Shelton is my husband.
22:51Oh, yeah, yeah. I heard of him, yeah.
22:53Yeah.
22:54Yeah, we don't really talk anymore.
22:55So I force him to garden.
22:56Oh, you don't?
22:57No, no, no. How is he, by the way?
22:59He's gorgeous.
23:00I love him. He is gorgeous. I love him so much.
23:04Wait, so Blake gardens as well?
23:05Yeah. It's really fun. I mean, he...
23:07Wow. I think he's like a fisherman guy.
23:09He does all those things.
23:11He does. I feel like, does he drive around in a tractor?
23:14He does.
23:15He does.
23:17I love this and thank you so much for this.
23:19I'm going to send you pictures.
23:21What do I do with this?
23:22You just plant it and then beautiful purple irises are going to bloom out of there.
23:26And you're going to think of me and Blake.
23:28Come on. You're the best ever.
23:30I can't believe you did this. This is a real deal.
23:32Thank you so much.
23:33I'm so excited. I will give you, like, detailed instructions.
23:37Oh, yeah. Please help me. Yeah.
23:39When I first met you, you were in No Doubt.
23:42And now I just saw this whole giant thing.
23:45You guys are back together at The Sphere in Las Vegas.
23:48Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!
23:51I mean, the residency. The Sphere.
23:54Gwen, I'm excited about this.
23:56We're excited. We did Coachella.
23:58And it was so unbelievably amazing.
24:01People freaked out.
24:02It was, like, amazing. And we were kind of talking for a while.
24:05We do everything slow, it seems like.
24:07But we were talking for years again.
24:09And trying to find that thing that would be, you know, as good.
24:13Yeah, Coachella.
24:14And I think The Sphere is, like, the future.
24:16You know what I'm saying? It's kind of a cross between a concert and a movie.
24:21And I think the goal, I mean, it instantly sold out.
24:24I mean, I think we have six more shows left.
24:26Yeah, you had 12 shows sold out instantly, so you had to add six more dates.
24:31Congrats.
24:32Yay!
24:33No, I'm excited about this.
24:34I'm so excited. It's going to be kind of...
24:36We want it to be really...
24:37I want people to come and make it feel, like, really nostalgic.
24:41Like, they're back in time. Like, remember this?
24:43Remember this, guys? Like, this is what we did together.
24:46But you're a big part of everyone's lives.
24:48I mean, this is a big part of pop culture.
24:49They're a big part of our lives, and we want to see them in Vegas.
24:52We're going to celebrate. I have to go there.
24:54But are you working on the screens and all the movies that you have to...
24:57We got together one time so far at the house, did the set list.
25:01Like, it's pretty, like, different from a regular show.
25:05Like, everything, there's, like, all these, like, calendar dates.
25:08Like, this has to be done because they have to program everything.
25:10Of course. It's the future. We're here.
25:12I mean, this is, like, an immersive experience.
25:14It's going to be so awesome.
25:15Congrats on that. That is so fantastic.
25:19Thank you!
25:22Let's talk about the song.
25:23Lots of, like, sphere things happening lately.
25:26There is. Yeah.
25:27Globes, spheres.
25:28That's right. Shake the Snow Globe is your new holiday song.
25:31By the way, I love this album.
25:33You make it feel like Christmas. It's such a great record.
25:35Anyone pick it up. It's so...
25:37It says the holidays.
25:38Now, it's become kind of part of my family's tradition,
25:41listening to you.
25:42Really? Are you serious?
25:43Absolutely.
25:44I know you're a Christmas dude.
25:45I really am. I love it so much.
25:46It's my favorite.
25:47It's my favorite time of year.
25:48It's my favorite, too.
25:49Are you in the spirit already?
25:50I am. I mean, actually, we did Thanksgiving on Saturday,
25:53so I just, like, flew into New York.
25:55I was like, oh, my gosh, it's Christmas!
25:57Because I wasn't ready, and now I'm ready.
25:59Yeah.
26:00But I've never...
26:01They asked me to actually write this song for the film,
26:04and I had never been asked to make a, you know,
26:07like, write for that scene, like, watch the movie.
26:10Like, I was very flattered.
26:11I was like, oh, maybe I could...
26:13I was like, maybe I could score a movie.
26:15No, it's not score. It's a song.
26:17No, you could. Why not?
26:19Baby steps, you start here.
26:20You can do anything you want.
26:21Are you kidding me?
26:22I don't know.
26:23I put all my money on Gwen Stefani.
26:24She's the coolest.
26:25But, I mean...
26:27This is the movie...
26:29It's Oh, What Fun.
26:30Yeah.
26:31And it stars Dennis Leary and Michelle Pfeiffer.
26:33Can you believe that?
26:34No.
26:35I swear, my dad was stalking me.
26:37Like, every time I'd go in the studio,
26:39is Michelle gonna be there?
26:40I'm like, I'm going to the studio.
26:42Yeah, your daughter is...
26:43I'm pretty big, too, Dad. Yeah.
26:45But it's also weird.
26:46It's like, what about Mom?
26:47Like...
26:48I didn't even think about Mom.
26:50That's so funny.
26:52You're like, Michelle there?
26:53Can you introduce me to Michelle Pfeiffer?
26:54It's funny.
26:55I got to actually meet her last night, you guys.
26:57She's so beautiful and everything cool, all of it.
27:00She's cool, man.
27:01And Dennis Leary, I got to meet him.
27:03He's the funniest guy on Earth.
27:04I was like, am I in high school right now?
27:07Like, it's so weird. I'm standing in a room with these guys.
27:10How fun.
27:11And they're just icons.
27:12But you have a Christmas song in a Christmas movie.
27:15It's so crazy!
27:18Oh, I love it!
27:20I know how much you love it.
27:21I'm so happy.
27:22The deluxe version is available on Amazon Music,
27:26but I was going to ask you about Christmas traditions
27:28that you have, because you've hooked me up with some things
27:30before in the past.
27:31Yeah.
27:32Did you do it?
27:33Of course I did it.
27:34I wrapped my door up with Christmas wrapping
27:37so the kids could run through the wrapping paper.
27:39I was going to ask you if you have any new traditions
27:41that I should try.
27:42Well, we have a tradition that Blake started, actually.
27:46We do a...
27:47It's a dish that's basically a pizza, a pasta,
27:50and a carb-licious, like, thing.
27:53It's called a Timpano Dome.
27:55Have you heard of this?
27:56No.
27:57We always are trying to find something...
27:59Timpano Dome?
28:00Timpano Dome.
28:01It's like a...
28:02It's a big pie, like a pizza pie thing.
28:05We found it in a movie, like some movie that Blake found.
28:08A big name?
28:09Yes.
28:10How do you know that?
28:11Because I was going to ask, is that the big thing?
28:12They're making this giant thing.
28:13Yes, yes.
28:14They're putting like...
28:15Yes, that's one of my favorite movies.
28:16Yeah.
28:17But I know you're Italian, so you got to...
28:18I am.
28:19Well, I'm a wannabe, but I am actually Italian.
28:20My dad is Italian.
28:21Yes.
28:22I'm happy, but...
28:23Yeah.
28:24But you have to make some Italian things.
28:25Yes.
28:26Now that's Blake's...
28:27You and Blake's tradition?
28:28Yeah, we do it every...
28:29And it kind of has evolved over the years.
28:31Like, originally, we did it with, like, a pasta shell thing.
28:34I think that's the original way that you do it.
28:36I've never had it.
28:37But then we were like,
28:38we shouldn't make it with pizza on the outside.
28:40Like, pizza dough.
28:41Like, why wouldn't you do that?
28:42Why not?
28:43We just do that.
28:44And so, every year, it's...
28:45I thought I would, like, text the group family chat
28:47and be like,
28:48are you guys sick of this?
28:49Should we still do this?
28:50But they're like, no, we want it.
28:51So, it's like tradition now.
28:52I thought it would be kind of fun if we just celebrate.
28:54Are you actually kidding?
28:55What?
28:56We had this...
28:57Shut up, Jimmy!
28:59No, I swear to God.
29:01I...
29:02Oh, my gosh.
29:03It took me all night to make this.
29:05You did not.
29:06No, no, I didn't.
29:07No, I didn't make it.
29:08But I thought maybe we could have a good luck thought.
29:10Let's see.
29:11Aw, that's so sweet.
29:12For the holidays, for your new song.
29:14Wait, I'm gonna die.
29:15By the way, this is like...
29:17Oh, you have to.
29:18Look at this guy.
29:19Wow.
29:20Wait, is that...
29:21Oh, my gosh.
29:22This is carb-tastic.
29:23Oh, my God.
29:25All right, I'm running a marathon tomorrow.
29:27All right, here we go.
29:28Are we really doing it?
29:29We have to do it, right?
29:30Okay.
29:31All right, you go that side.
29:32Wait, what's in it, though?
29:33I want to see.
29:34Oh, it's a pasta shell.
29:35This is like...
29:36Oh, my gosh.
29:37Cheers.
29:38Cheers.
29:39Merry Christmas.
29:40Wow.
29:43That's good.
29:44That's fantastic.
29:45Congrats on everything.
29:47When's the finals going to perform later?
29:49Shake the Snow Globe is out now, only on Amazon Music.
29:54We'll be right back with Amanda Gorman.
29:56Stick around, everybody.
29:57Do it!
29:58Go!
30:01Do it!
30:02Do it!
30:04Do it!
30:06Do it!
30:07Do it!
30:16Our next guest is a poet, activist, and New York Times best-selling author who was just named
30:22the newest ambassador of UNICEF USA.
30:25Please welcome Amanda Gorman.
30:35Welcome back.
30:37Amanda Gorman.
30:38Hi. There you go.
30:40Welcome back.
30:41Hi.
30:43Welcome back to the show, and thank you for coming on.
30:45I appreciate this.
30:47I, first of all, want to congratulate you
30:49on your voiceover work in Zootopia 2.
30:52It's the number one movie in the country.
30:55Yes.
30:56Not too shy. Was that fun to make?
30:59Oh, my gosh. So much fun.
31:00Oh, you have her.
31:02Yes, that's me. Deidre Bambino.
31:04Deidre Bambino. Put respect on her name, by the way.
31:06Yes. How did you end up in this movie?
31:10You know what? By being a stalker.
31:12Because I met the directors of the original,
31:14Jared Bush, Byron Howard, Yvette Marino, the producer,
31:17and I just kept my foot on their necks for almost 10 years.
31:20I was like, I don't care if you need a rat screaming help.
31:23I don't know if you need a giraffe who's just like,
31:25oh, I will do whatever you need.
31:27You would do, oh.
31:28Yeah, that's great. Perfect.
31:30Amanda Gorman. Yeah. And so, absolutely.
31:32It has nothing to do with my talent.
31:33Everything to do with stalking.
31:35Please put me in Zootopia 2.
31:36I think they were just like, we are going crazy.
31:37We need to give her what she wants.
31:40And I was like, okay, period. So here we are.
31:42Well, you have a beautiful speaking voice.
31:44Oh, thank you.
31:44You most famously recited a poem
31:47at President Biden's inauguration when you were just 22?
31:52Yeah. Oof, oof.
31:53Different era. Different era.
31:54Is it a different challenge doing the voice in the cartoon?
31:57Oh, absolutely. When I'm doing, like, poeting,
31:59I'm very, oh, gravitas, morality of America.
32:02And when you're doing a Disney film,
32:04you just have to go so big and, like, be a character.
32:08And I could tell there were some takes I did where I was like,
32:10ooh, I hope they're not regretting this decision that they've made.
32:13They were like, oh, maybe not that much, though.
32:16Like, just reading it back.
32:17I went so far.
32:18You went over the top?
32:19I went over the top.
32:20You have to, though. That's acting.
32:21Not in this case, because here's the thing.
32:23There's this really sexy horse that's in it.
32:26Mayor Wind Dancer, like, the most ripped.
32:28Okay, let me talk.
32:30But they were like, just, like, pretend you're speaking to him
32:33and, like, you're a huge fan.
32:34And I was like, ooh, like, Mayor Wind Dancer.
32:37Like, this is a kids' film.
32:38Like, bring it back a little bit.
32:40Bring it back a little bit.
32:41Yeah, yeah, yeah. We want to keep our rating, Amanda.
32:44Well, I do want to ask you about something,
32:46because a lot of people think if you're a poet, you know,
32:49that you're just very well-read and you're kind of snobby
32:52and you don't watch it.
32:53But then I read somewhere that you love Love Island.
32:57How do you know this?
32:59Who gave me this info? I've never told anyone that.
33:02But it's true?
33:03Yes. How do you even know that?
33:05Love Island?
33:06Yeah, I love Love Island.
33:08Talk to me about Love Island.
33:09I love Love Island.
33:09Okay, I don't know who you've been talking to,
33:11namely my therapist, apparently.
33:13Listen, I'm, like, a presidential inaugural poet.
33:17I went to Harvard.
33:18So people expect me to be watching Shakespeare in my free time.
33:22Love Island is Shakespeare.
33:24A new bombshell has entered the villa.
33:26What's more intellectual than that?
33:29It's drama. It's intrigue.
33:31It's pride. It's ego.
33:33It's everything you want.
33:35So, yeah.
33:36I love that you're pitching me on Love Island.
33:38This is fantastic.
33:39You and me are going to be watching it.
33:40But, I mean, it became such an event...
33:43Yes.
33:44...that it was almost like part of everyone's lives.
33:46Okay, here's the thing.
33:47I was here before everybody else was.
33:49I'm a longstanding fan, okay?
33:50If you know, you know.
33:51So I'm glad everybody else is on board now
33:54because it is a gift to humanity.
33:56Oh, my gosh.
33:57Yeah, I can say that.
33:58You are so funny.
33:59In the past, you said that you wanted to run for president.
34:03Yes.
34:04Do you still want to?
34:05Oh, absolutely.
34:06100%.
34:07Yeah, yeah.
34:09Oh, thank you.
34:11Okay.
34:11We have a few voters here.
34:13Oh, thank you.
34:15Amazing.
34:16Okay, I think, I guess the campaign starts today.
34:18I have to be...
34:19Here's the thing.
34:20I have to be 35 years of age.
34:22So the soonest I would be able to run is 2036.
34:25But I'm working on hashtags,
34:27so it would be Commander-in-Chief.
34:30Get it?
34:30Get it, get it, get it.
34:31So we'll work on it.
34:32Okay.
34:32No, I like that.
34:34Yeah, yeah.
34:35That's great.
34:35All right, we're good.
34:36We keep talking, okay?
34:37Yeah.
34:38Yesterday was Giving Tuesday, by the way.
34:41And we talked about giving to UNICEF on our show.
34:47And if you guys want to learn more,
34:49go to unicefusa.org slash tonight show
34:52and donate if you'd like to,
34:53because it doesn't have to be just Giving Tuesday.
34:55You can give all year round.
34:57Every day, yeah.
34:57Or the holiday season.
34:58But you were just named the ambassador.
35:00Yes.
35:01For UNICEF USA.
35:02Thank you, thank you, yeah.
35:05Oh, crazy, yeah.
35:06We had a kickoff event last night.
35:08And our very own Questlove DJ for you guys.
35:11Here's a photo of you guys looking fancy.
35:13Come on.
35:15Look at this.
35:16Looking fancy, bud.
35:18Come on.
35:21How did the gala go?

35:23Oh, here's the great thing about having Questlove
35:26DJ the after-party.
35:27I knew if I bombed with my poem,
35:29I'm like, he'll bring it back.
35:30He'll bring it back around.
35:32So I really felt safe, because I was like,
35:34whatever happens, he's going to keep the energy up here.
35:36I don't think you're ever going to bomb with your poem.
35:38Oh, thank you. Okay, give it time.
35:39Give it time.
35:40Never, never.
35:41What does the honor mean to you?
35:43Oh, my gosh. I mean, it means so much.
35:45I remember trick-or-treating with UNICEF when I was a kid.

35:50And I just thought, if I'm ever an adult and I have a platform,
35:53I would love to pay it forward back to this organization.
35:56So to be able to speak with and on behalf of children
36:00around the world is just the highlight of my career.
36:02That and being here with you.
