00:30And now, here he is, Jimmy Fallon.
00:42Thank you, thank you.
00:49Hi, welcome, welcome.
00:51Welcome, welcome, welcome.
00:52Ready? Ready? Ready?
01:02Come on. That's what I'm doing now.
01:04Ha! Ha!
01:06I love you. Enjoy yourself.
01:08Welcome, everybody. Welcome, welcome, welcome
01:10to The Tonight Show. You're here.
01:12The Tonight Show.
01:15We have a big show for you tonight.
01:17Jack Black is here tonight. Jack Black.
01:22Before we get to the show, let's get to some news first.
01:24Everybody's talking about this.
01:26Today, President Trump fired Attorney General Pam Bondi.
01:38The hardest thing about getting fired by Trump
01:40is pretending to be sad when he tells you, you know?
01:44Of course, being fired by Trump is never fun.
01:46Kristi Noem was like, true,
01:48but things can definitely get worse, so.
01:51Meanwhile, when Trump realized he fired the woman
01:53with access to all the Epstein files, he was like,
01:55Oh, crap. Uh...
01:59Pam, you're not fired. You're redacted.
02:03Apparently, Trump was also upset that Bondi
02:05didn't go after his enemies.
02:07Oh.
02:08And Bondi was like, so you want me to arrest NATO,
02:10Bruce Springsteen, and the ice cream machine at McDonald's?
02:13He's like, It never works. It never works.
02:17Yep, Trump's on a bit of a firing spree.
02:20First, Kristi Noem, then, Pam Bondi.
02:22Ironically, the only staffer who has immunity is RFK Jr.
02:26Isn't that weird?
02:29Interesting, right?
02:31Think about it.
02:34Some more news from Washington last night.
02:37In a primetime address, Trump spoke for 19 minutes
02:40about the war and didn't have anything new to say.
02:44You know, you nailed the primetime address
02:46when everyone's reaction is,
02:47You interrupted the Masked Singer for this?
02:50Yep, Trump didn't have much to say.
02:52It's like when your iPhone has an important update,
02:54and then it just adds two new emojis.
02:56Yeah.
02:57Well, during Trump's big speech, he used a teleprompter,
03:00and it turns out he really relies on it.
03:02Check out what Trump's staff puts on the teleprompter
03:05to get him to say what they want. Watch this.
03:07Let me begin by congratulating the team at NASA
03:12and our brave astronauts.
03:13It will be traveling further than any manned rocket
03:16has ever flown and will very substantially pass the moon.
03:20Remember, because of our Drill Baby Drill program,
03:24America has plenty of gas. We have so much gas.
03:26It would lead to decades of extortion, economic pain,
03:31and instability worse than we can ever imagine.
03:34I can say tonight that we are on track
03:37to complete all of America's military objectives shortly.
03:41Very shortly.
03:42It's interesting what they say.
03:44To get him to say this, you got to know it.
03:50Well, it's been a rough month for Trump,
03:53but he's not worried because he has a plan to turn things around.
03:55Take a look.
03:57President Trump here announcing a new plan
03:59to make my presidency the greatest in history.
04:02And it's simple.
04:02I'm going to flip all the charts upside down.
04:06That's right.
04:06The stock market? Skyrocketing.
04:09Gas prices? Way down.
04:11Measles? Gone.
04:13And my 33% approval rating now? 67%.
04:16Round that up to 100.
04:18So like the great Missy Elliott,
04:20I'm just going to put my thing down, flip it, and reverse it.
04:23Is your flip-flip-flip yet? Is your flip-flip-flip yet?
04:27It's the only idea I have left.
04:28Okay, bye.
04:29Yeah, that was interesting.
04:30I thought that was nice when we released that.
04:36Well, this is exciting.
04:38NASA just successfully launched a historic
04:4010-day mission around the moon.
04:45Uh, but this is true. Get this.
04:47Shortly after it launched, the toilet aboard the Artemis II rocket broke.
04:52Yeah, it suddenly went from a billion-dollar rocket
04:55to a carnival cruise in space.
05:00That's right. For six hours,
05:01the astronauts couldn't use the bathroom.
05:03The ground crew was like,
05:04Uh, do you have to make an Artemis I or an Artemis II?
05:08Sorry to get personal.
05:11Luckily, Mario and Luigi were in the galaxy
05:13and fixed it right up, so we're all good.
05:15Yep, the Artemis II crew is on their way to the moon.
05:18Now, I wanted to learn more about this,
05:19so please welcome, from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory,
05:22space flight expert, Michael Rothby, everybody.
05:25Michael, thank you for being here.
05:28Appreciate that. Thank you.
05:29I'm very happy to be here, Jimmy. Thank you.
05:31I just love any opportunity that I have to talk about space.
05:35Uh, so I see you have your model there.
05:37Tell us, how did the launch go?
05:39Well, Jimmy, the launch, uh, you know, it went without a hitch.
05:42Uh, they lifted off from Cape Canaveral.
05:45Yep.
05:46And, uh, just like, you know...
05:50And then their trajectory took them, you know, into orbit, like...
05:55And now they're on their way, you know,
05:57all the way to the moon, like...
06:02Awesome. Then what's gonna happen?
06:04Oh, well, I don't know, maybe asteroids, you know,
06:07will fly by them, and they'll have to, like,
06:09go on a different course, you know?
06:12You'd be the asteroid.
06:13Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
06:16And they'll have to, like, go to a different...
06:17They'll be like, uh-oh, malfunction!
06:20Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, and then maybe there's an alien.
06:22It's like, uh, bleep, bleep, bleep, bleep, bleep.
06:24No. No. No.
06:26No, no, no, no. It's not that.
06:28There's... There's... There's not aliens.
06:30Oh, sorry, I just... I just thought it'd be funny
06:32if there was an alien, like...
06:34I come in peace.
06:35No! It's not that, okay?
06:38We're not doing aliens.
06:40Now, Michael, you let Jimmy play with it.
06:43But he's not doing it right, uh...
06:46He's trying to do aliens. There's not aliens in this.
06:49Michael, you're at his show. Give it to him.
06:53Oh, my God!
06:56Fine.
06:58Here.
07:08I don't even want it anymore.
07:17I guess it's kind of cool.
07:19It's like, you know, like...
07:30Like gamma rays or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
07:32Yeah, yeah. And then the alien's like...
07:34The alien's like, take me to...
07:35Not aliens!
07:36There's not aliens in this!
07:38I said it at the beginning!
07:40Forget this!
07:41All right.
07:41Michael Rossby, everybody!
07:47Michael Rossby, everybody!
07:55Don't say my...
07:57Don't say my name!
07:58Yeah, get...
08:00Keep my name out of your mouth!
08:08Well, uh...
08:10Switching gears...
08:14I read that Bed Bath & Beyond is buying the Container Store for $150 million.
08:20Ooh.
08:21So now Bed Bath & Beyond owns two empty stores.
08:26How did you guys see this?
08:27The toy and game company Hasbro was just the victim of a cyber attack.
08:32Yeah, it's not good.
08:33Well, here to comment is the man behind Hasbro's biggest game, Monopoly.
08:37Please welcome, Mr. Monopoly.
08:39Ooh!
08:43Welcome to the show, Mr. Monopoly.
08:45Uh, how-how are you doing?
08:47Oh, this is terrible, Jimmy!
08:49Just terrible!
08:51This hack is the worst thing that's ever happened!
08:55Wh-what do you mean?
08:56Well, the hackers, they know everything!
09:00They know all of my info.
09:02They know my home address, my e-mails,
09:06my social security number.
09:08But that's not all.
09:10They also know some more personal information.
09:15Oh, no.
09:16Like what?
09:17Well, they know my Tinder handle is at Mustache Tickler.
09:23They know I've been caught at a massage parlor on Baltic Avenue.
09:29They even know that I'm in a thruple with Claire and Herman from Guess Who!
09:35You know, maybe you shouldn't be telling us this.
09:37And that's not all, Jimmy.
09:39They know Candyland is my favorite strip club.
09:42They have all my nudes where I'm wearing nothing
09:46but a strategically placed top hat and,
09:50well, do you know the planter's baby nut?
09:52Well, Mr. Peanut is not the father.
09:55I am!
09:57And if he found out, he'd kill me!
09:59Okay, okay, okay.
10:00Just stop talking.
10:02But it gets worse.
10:03It gets so much worse, Jimmy.
10:06No, no, no, no.
10:06Please, don't say it.
10:07Don't say it.
10:08Yes, it's true.
10:09No, no, no.
10:09Trust me, you do not want to admit it.
10:12Yeah, I'm in the Epstein file.
10:14All right, that's it.
10:15Get out of here.
10:15Mr. Monopoly, everybody.
10:17Thank you very much, Mr. Monopoly.
10:18Oh, my goodness.
10:19Oh, my gosh.
10:20It's crazy.
10:20Guys, well, listen to this.
10:21Hershey announced that they will soon go back to using chocolate
10:24for their Reese's products.
10:30What?
10:32This raises way more questions than it answers.
10:36Everyone about to give their kid an Easter basket full of Reese's
10:39was like, great timing?
10:40What?
10:41And finally, speaking of Easter, a new survey found that most people
10:44eat their peeps headfirst.
10:48Jesus heard and was like, guys, I think we're losing the plot here.
10:51We have a great show.
10:52Give it up for The Roots right now.
11:08Thanks, everybody.
11:09What a show we have for you tonight.
11:12Last night, yesterday, it was April Fool's Day, right?
11:16Yeah.
11:16So last year, April Fool's Day, this is true, I went home
11:21and my kids were excited to see me.
11:24They go, Dad, Dad's here, Dad's here.
11:26And my youngest, Franny, goes, Dad, can you put on something
11:30that you don't care if it gets messy?
11:32Oh.
11:33And I go, yeah, okay, I just got home.
11:35I go, sure, sure, sure.
11:36So I put on a T-shirt.
11:37I go, she's probably going to put makeup on me.
11:39I don't know, whatever.
11:40So I go, I don't know what's happening.
11:42So I go, yeah.
11:43And I come around the corner and she hits me in the face
11:46with a whipped cream pie.
11:48Whipped cream goes everywhere.
11:50Goes all over the walls.
11:52Nothing on my shirt.
11:53Nothing, just all over my face.
11:54I go, what are you doing?
11:56Why would you do that?
11:58And she goes, April Fool's?
12:00No.
12:02No, that's not how April Fool's works.
12:05That's not April Fool's at all.
12:06So I go, that's bad.
12:08I go, I'm going to get you back.
12:10You know, I will.
12:11I'll think of something.
12:12And she goes, do you think I care?
12:15Really?
12:16Where are you getting sassy?
12:17Where are you learning that stuff from?
12:18I go, seriously, I'll do something.
12:19I'll put snakes in your bed or something.
12:22She goes, I like snakes.
12:24Whatever.
12:25So I go, I get cleaned off.
12:27I go, and I was putting her to bed.
12:29And I gave her a kiss.
12:30Said, all right, I love you.
12:31I turn the lights out.
12:32I go, good night.
12:33I love you.
12:34And I was leaving the room.
12:35She goes, Dad?
12:35I go, she goes, I don't really like snakes.
12:39And I said, do you think I care?
12:41And stuff like that.
12:43Because they have to learn, eventually, what real life is.
12:48300 snakes.
12:49Anyways, last night, finished the show.
12:51Great show.
12:52We had so much fun.
12:53I'm on my way home.
12:54I get a text, because now they're texting.
12:57And they go, Dad, when are you coming home?
12:58I go, soon.
12:59You'll see.
12:59I'll see you.
13:00She goes, OK, make sure you're wearing something you don't
13:03care if it gets messy.
13:04And then a picture of her looking like evil.
13:08And I go, oh, gosh.
13:09So I go, all right.
13:10I already know I'm going to get pied, or something's going
13:12to happen.
13:12So I went home.
13:13I put a T-shirt on.
13:15And I stood in the shower.
13:17And this happened.
13:23Dad?
13:27I'm so mad.
13:28Are you ready?
13:29No.
13:30I'm so mad.
13:33Just standing here, because I'm already numb.
13:36I'm so mad.
13:37I also licked it.
13:47Unbelievable.
13:48Good timing.
13:49Good timing.
13:50I also licked it, because I also licked it.
13:52Wow.
13:53And her sister was videoing the whole time.
13:56Yeah.
13:56So, anyways, happy April Fool's Day to Winnie and Franny.
13:58You guys got me good.
14:00Started a new tradition.
14:02Stick around.
14:03When we come back, we've got puppies making their Final Four
14:06predictions.
14:06Come on back.
14:18Welcome back.
14:19I'm so excited, because this weekend is the NCAA Final Four.
14:24You've got...
14:26You've got UConn taking on Illinois.
14:30You've got Arizona facing off against Michigan.
14:36It is impossible to predict who's going to go all the way,
14:39but you're in luck, because when it comes to predicting things,
14:42we have a secret weapon, and it's puppies.
14:45It is time for the Puppy Predictors 2026 Final Four Edition!
14:53Puppies Predictors!
14:56Puppies Predictors!
14:59Welcome to the Puppy Predictors 2026 Final Four Edition.
15:05Here's how it works.
15:06We have four puppies, one for each team, and one bowl of kibble.
15:10Whichever team's puppy gets to the bowl first will determine
15:14who will be crowned the national champs.
15:17Now, let's meet the puppies.
15:22For UConn, we have Donna Braylon.
15:31For Illinois, we have Kyle McAdams.
15:38For Arizona, we have Ted Mooney.
15:43For Michigan, we have Gary Frick Jr.
15:49All right, guys.
15:50Before I release you, I need you to listen up.
15:52I want this to be a clean race, okay?
15:54I don't want to see any wandering.
15:57All right. All right. Ready?
15:59On your mark, get set, release the puppies.
16:09Oh! It's UConn!
16:11UConn is the winner!
16:14We have a winner!
16:16UConn will be crowned the 2026 national champs.
16:20You heard it here, of course.
16:21Enjoy the Final Four, everybody.
16:23We'll be right back with Jack Black.
16:25Great job, everybody!
16:30My gosh, UConn. Fantastic.
16:41Our first guest is a fantastic actor, comedian,
16:46and a Grammy winner.
16:48He's also the voice of Bowser in the Super Mario Galaxy movie,
16:51which is in theaters now.
16:53And he's hosting SNL this weekend with musical guest Jack White.
16:57Everyone, please welcome Jack Black!
17:13Congratulations, McSh generous.
17:14Meeting with the
17:17Universe Online.

17:23Oh.
17:26Number two, that guy won the
17:32They love you!
17:35They love you!
17:38I feel it!
17:39Oh!
17:44Oh, my God.
17:45Oh, my God.
17:47Oh, wow.
17:49Sit back and relax.
17:51Jack Black is in the house.
17:52That was a lot of love.
17:54In the house.
17:56Jack, welcome back to the show.
17:58We always love having you here.
18:00You're back in the building.
18:01I love to be here.
18:02You know what?
18:02I've got to give one more shout-out to the band.
18:04The Roots, you guys!
18:06The Roots are on fire!
18:08They are unbelievable.
18:10Let's talk about SNL.
18:11You're here in the building.
18:12Saturday Night Live.
18:13It is Jack Black.
18:15It is Jack White.
18:16Yes!
18:17What?
18:17What a one-two punch.
18:19It's a one-two punch.
18:20Did you know about that?
18:21When did you find out about this book?
18:22So, this is crazy.
18:23I got the call that I was going to be on SNL.
18:25I didn't know who the musical guest was going to be.
18:27And then I got a call from Jack White.
18:29And he was like, what do you think?
18:31Should we do this SNL thing?
18:32I was like, what are you talking about?
18:33He's like, wait, they didn't tell you?
18:35I was like, no!
18:36You're going to be the musical guest?
18:37And he was like, I'm thinking about it.
18:39Should we?
18:39I wanted to check with you first.
18:41I was like, hell yes, we should!
18:43Jack!
18:44Because I've always secretly wanted to, like, party with Jack White.
18:48Because I was like, wait a second, we're like the opposite sides of the Jack Spectrum.
18:52Yes!
18:53It's like a no-brainer, but it's never, we've never had the opportunity.
18:56And we're going to finally mix it up.
18:58Yes!
18:59Let's see what happens.
19:00It's exciting.
19:02Let's talk about the Super Mario Galaxy movie.
19:06This movie is going to be huge, bud.
19:07Congrats.
19:08You do great on this.
19:09The first Super Mario made over a billion.
19:11Yeah.
19:12Billion-ion-ion-ion-ion.
19:15Can you believe that?
19:16Dude, that's amazing words.
19:18A billion.
19:19That's nuts.
19:19And then your song, Peaches, by the way, was on the Billboard Hot 100.
19:23That was the best!
19:24That's what I'm talking about!
19:26That was the best!
19:28Dude, did you, did you, is that exciting to have your song on the charts?
19:32Yeah.
19:33I was really stoked that it went viral, as the kids say.
19:37And, uh, uh, it was a sweet little jam that just sort of came up organically while we were recording.
19:43We were like halfway through the process.
19:45We were like a year into recording Bowser voice.
19:48And, and the, the writers and director was like, we have an idea for maybe Bowser sings a song.
19:53And I was like, nah, that's a bad idea.
19:54I'm not going to sing in this movie, guys.
19:56You didn't, I didn't sign up for a musical.
19:58And then I was like, all right, let me hear what you got.
20:00And they sent it over.
20:02And I was like, this is funny.
20:03We got to do this.
20:05And, uh, I'm really glad that, that they did.
20:08Because it's like a beautiful little nugget of joy in the middle of that movie.
20:12I was really stoked.
20:13It was, it was the P.H.A.?
20:14Yeah, man.
20:15Bowser's got a soft side.
20:17He's a lover and a fighter.
20:19Ooh!
20:20I love that.
20:21I remember, uh, I was, uh, playing it for my kids.
20:24Because I was like, dude, you got to hear this.
20:25And they, it, it, it, it's so cool.
20:29And with my style, we're gonna roar.
20:35Bitch, understand.
20:37Yeah.
20:38And we didn't rehearse it.
20:39I don't know if that's the right key.
20:42I give a little taste.
20:44That's what I've done.
20:44That's the magic.
20:45I can't help it.
20:46You crushed it as Bowser.
20:48Uh, I think, though, I don't know if he got, uh, enough respect.
20:52Well, you know, I mean, Bowser got a lot of love in, in the, the fans, the Nintendo fans.
20:57But I, thank you for bringing that up.
20:59No problem.
20:59Bowser did not get any attention or love from, uh, uh, uh, the Academy.
21:04Uh, and I was like, dude, Peaches is a banger.
21:07I, everyone's singing.
21:08Your kids are singing.
21:09My kids are singing.
21:09I was like, I would, for a second, I was like, I think we might get a nomination.
21:14And, uh, sure enough, we did not.
21:17What?
21:17It was a good thing.
21:18And I even, like, campaigned for it a little bit.
21:20Uh, I'm not ashamed to say, I was trying to get that nomination.
21:24Yeah.
21:24And, uh, and then not only did I not get him a nomination, but, uh, my archenemy, the
21:30Goss, Ryan Gosling, did get a nomination.
21:35And I was like, son of a biscuit, this Gosling always snacking on my potatoes.
21:43I, look, I love I'm Just Can, love Barbie movies.
21:46Yeah, of course.
21:47But.
21:48But I can't pretend like there wasn't a little professional jealousy.
21:52Yeah.
21:53And then I wrote a song about how jealous Bowser was.
21:57Do you want to hear it?
21:58I'll just, it's really short.
22:01It's really short.
22:03Just imagine me in, like, a full Bowser costume right now.
22:07I can't believe I wasn't nominated.
22:14Bowser shall have his revenge.
22:17And that's the one.
22:18Oh, my God.
22:22That's really dumb.
22:23That's so funny.
22:24It's the Bowser's Revenant.
22:27It's very Bowser to be jealous of.
22:29Yeah, for him.
22:30Also, Ryan Gosling, too.
22:31The Goss!
22:32The Goss!
22:33It was the most likable dudes out there.
22:34I want to show everyone a clip.
22:35Here's Jack Black in the Super Mario Galaxy movie.
22:38Take a look.
22:40Bye, suckers!
22:41Hey, get back here.
22:43No!
22:44You can't catch the wind!
22:50I just kind of did.
22:52It was a metaphor!
23:05You should probably spit him out.
23:14Oh, that was intense.
23:16Hey!
23:19Jack Black, everybody!
23:20The Super Mario Galaxy movie is in theaters now,
23:24and you can see him hosting SNL this weekend

23:52Season 2 premieres tomorrow on Apple TV.
23:55Please welcome Olivia Munn!
23:59Why can't we be friends?
24:02Why can't we be friends?
24:05Why can't we be friends?
24:05Why can't we be friends?
24:08That's right!
24:10Thank you very much!
24:12That's right!
24:13Come on!
24:14Olivia!
24:15Hi!
24:16Welcome back!
24:17You look gorgeous.
24:19Thank you for coming back.
24:20Oh, my gosh.
24:20I always love being here.
24:21How you doing?
24:22How's the fam?
24:23How are the kids?
24:24How's Malcolm?
24:25Everybody is doing great.
24:26Malcolm's doing great.
24:27Send him my regards, please.
24:28I will.
24:29He loves you.
24:30I love that little kid.
24:31He's so cute.
24:31How old is he now?
24:32He's four.
24:33And Maymay is 18 months.
24:35Oh, my gosh.
24:35I know.
24:36And they're just little best friends
24:37and they're just the best.
24:38Oh, my...
24:39And you told me that Malcolm's into jiu-jitsu?
24:42Yeah, I just got him into jiu-jitsu.
24:44Before?
24:44Yeah.
24:45Well, I did martial arts growing up.
24:47You know, it was very important to my mom.
24:49And so all the kids in our family,
24:51we had to do martial arts
24:52and we had to do it until we made black belts.
24:54So it was very important in our family.
24:55Really?
24:55What kind of?
24:56Taekwondo.
24:57Wow.
24:58And so I was like,
25:00it's really important for me
25:01that he gets into jiu-jitsu
25:02and it's so cute
25:03because he's in there
25:03and before he goes in there,
25:04he bows before he walks on the mat.
25:06It's so cute.
25:07I know, it's the sweetest thing.
25:09He's this big, yeah.
25:09I know, it's so cute.
25:10But the other day,
25:12I was getting him changed,
25:13he was putting on his gi
25:14and tying his belt
25:15and we had spent the whole day
25:16playing outside without shoes on.
25:18Yeah.
25:19And so I looked at his feet
25:19and I was like, they're filthy.
25:20I was like, let me just wipe them down.
25:21He was like, no,
25:22I don't want you to.
25:23And I was like, no, you have to.
25:24Like, they're so dirty.
25:25And he was like,
25:25why do I have to wash my feet?
25:27I said, well,
25:27because you're going to share the mat
25:28with other kids
25:29and you need your feet to be clean.
25:30So he begrudgingly let me,
25:32you know, wipe his feet off.
25:33And then as soon as I was done,
25:35he bolted.
25:36He was about to step off
25:37onto the street.
25:38And I was like,
25:38Malcolm,
25:39you're going to get your feet dirty.
25:40Yes.
25:40And he turned around
25:41and he gave me that look.
25:43Yeah, yeah.
25:44And then he almost stepped off
25:47and as soon as he like
25:48had one foot in the air,
25:50I went, hey, respect the dojo.
25:54And I was like, who is that?
25:57Like, I was like,
25:58am I a tiger mom?
25:59Like, I had no idea
26:00that I even had that in me.
26:01Like, who says that?
26:02Respect the dojo.
26:04I love it.
26:04I have never said that in my life.
26:07Maybe it was ingrained
26:08in your mind.
26:09Your sensei, like years ago,
26:11I mean, my first sensei,
26:12Master Yoon,
26:13he said things like that.
26:15Respect the dojo?
26:15And I don't talk like that.
26:16I think it's a t-shirt now.
26:18You have to make that.
26:19I love respect the dojo.
26:20Respect the dojo.
26:21Oh my gosh.
26:21And then he,
26:22and by the way it worked,
26:23he respected the dojo.
26:24Yeah, that's right.
26:24See, he learned.
26:25That's right.
26:27Good kid.
26:27Good kid, Malcolm.
26:29Your friends and neighbors,
26:30congratulations on Apple TV.
26:32The first episode,
26:34season two,
26:35comes out tomorrow.
26:36It's already picked up
26:36for season three.
26:38Come on.
26:38Olivia Munn!
26:42That's how you do it.
26:43Yeah, thank you.
26:44You guys have great chemistry
26:45on the show.
26:46Great cast.
26:46Amanda Peet,
26:47Jon Hamm.
26:48And now James Marsden.
26:49And now James Marsden,
26:51by the way.
26:51Here's you and James Marsden,
26:53by the way.
26:53Yeah, that's us
26:54at our party the other night.
26:55Yeah.
26:56Yeah.
26:56He's fantastic.
26:57Have you known James for a while?
26:59I, okay,
27:00I actually have known James,
27:01but I've known him for so long.
27:03So I was born in Oklahoma,
27:06but then raised in Tokyo.
27:07And then at the age of 16,
27:08we came back to Oklahoma.
27:10And I went to this high school
27:11where it was incredibly difficult
27:14to make friends,
27:14you know,
27:14because at that age,
27:15everyone already is friended up.
27:16Yeah.
27:17And I had a really difficult time,
27:20but there was one person
27:21who asked to be my friend,
27:22and her name is Jenny Marsden.
27:23And it's James' little sister.
27:25No way.
27:26Yeah.
27:26And being close to this sister Jenny,
27:28it just made it more attainable,
27:31you know,
27:31this like,
27:31this lofty goal.
27:33It was like,
27:33oh,
27:34if somebody else made it,
27:34maybe I could make it too.
27:36And it wasn't for like 13 or 15 years later
27:38where I had some success
27:40and I'm in Hollywood
27:41and I'm at this party
27:42and I see him across the way
27:43and I'm like,
27:44oh my God,
27:45it's,
27:45I don't,
27:45he's,
27:46there's no way.
27:46He'll never remember.
27:47So I went right over to him.
27:48And we just were friends since then.
27:50And now we're working together.
27:51Yeah,
27:51in that full circle now,
27:53you're working together.
27:53It's a fantastic story.
27:56What's happening with season two?
27:59What's going on?
28:00How do we set up
28:00what's happening in season two?
28:01So season two is,
28:03you know,
28:04James Marsden's character
28:05comes in like the Great Gatsby,
28:06like the Count of Monte Cristo.
28:07And my character is at like,
28:11just the bottom.
28:11She is just out of prison
28:13and she has lost everything
28:15and no one wants to be her friend
28:17and she's just a social pariah.
28:18And so she's trying to make her way
28:20back into everyone's,
28:22you know,
28:22good graces.
28:23Yeah,
28:23perfect.
28:24It's great drama,
28:25but also little bits of sprinkles
28:27of comedy in there.
28:28And you're really great.
28:29I want to show a clip.
28:30Here's Olivia Munn

30:21Thank you for coming on.
30:22I can't wait to talk
30:23about Michael
30:24and what a great
30:25performance you've done
30:27in this film.
30:28This is your first
30:29movie role.
30:30You're playing
30:31Michael Jackson.
30:33Okay?
30:33That's as big
30:36as you could
30:37probably pick
30:38for any character
30:40to portray
30:41in a film,
30:41but also this character
30:43that you're playing,
30:45Michael Jackson,
30:45the one it only
30:46happens to be
30:47your uncle.
30:48Yes.
30:49So Jermaine Jackson
30:51is your dad?
30:52Yes, Jermaine is my father.
30:53I love Jermaine Jackson.
30:54You've got to give him
30:55my best.
30:56Oh, absolutely.
30:56I love him.
30:57Yeah.
30:58So,
31:00how did you,
31:01how did this happen?
31:02You found out
31:02they're making a biopic?
31:03Walk me through it.
31:04Yeah, so,
31:06I saw an article
31:07where it said
31:08that Graham King
31:09got the rights
31:09to tell Michael's story.
31:11Yeah.
31:11And I forgot
31:12where I saw it.
31:13It was online somewhere.
31:14Graham King has made
31:15Bohemian Rhapsody.
31:16Oh, he's made incredible films,
31:17but he made
31:18Bohemian Rhapsody.
31:19The Queen biopic.
31:20Yes, and,
31:21um, my first thought was,
31:22who are they going
31:23to get to play Michael?
31:24And honestly,
31:25I didn't think of myself.
31:26I was like,
31:27this is going to be
31:27really interesting.
31:29Yeah.
31:30Because I didn't know.
31:32So, fast forward
31:33a couple of months,
31:33I get a call
31:34from Graham King.
31:35He wants to have a Zoom.
31:37And, uh,
31:38I can tell
31:39just by that call
31:40what this was going
31:41to lead to
31:41in some way.
31:43And then,
31:43one thing led
31:44to the other.
31:45We had lunch.
31:46And he's kind of
31:46looking at me.
31:47Like, he asked me,
31:48have you ever acted before?
31:50I said, never.
31:51I've never wanted
31:51to be an actor.
31:52Um,
31:53and I,
31:54I initially told him,
31:55you know,
31:56I grew up wanting
31:57to play golf.
31:58I got into music.
32:00Okay.
32:01Well,
32:01if he's making
32:02a golf movie,
32:03sure.
32:04It definitely wasn't
32:05anything, uh,
32:06Michael related,
32:07but I grew up loving,
32:08obviously,
32:08watching Michael's videos
32:09and studying his moves
32:11and things like that.
32:11But fast forward
32:13to six months in,
32:14he got me a coach
32:16that I start to work
32:17on a lot of scenes
32:18from other films.
32:19And it was a multi-year process.
32:21It wasn't just
32:22a traditional audition.
32:23I definitely had to,
32:24to earn the role
32:26for a two-year process,
32:28really.
32:29Let me just show everybody.
32:30This is,
32:30this is Michael Jackson
32:32in the Thriller video
32:33in 1983.
32:34This is Jafar
32:36as Michael
32:37during the Thriller.
32:43And this was,
32:44you, you, you filmed this
32:46in the same location
32:46where Michael did
32:47the Thriller video?
32:48Same exact location
32:49for two nights
32:50all through the night.
32:52And we actually
32:52had a full moon
32:54on one of those nights.
32:55It was just crazy.
32:56That's the kind
32:57of Michael Jackson magic.
32:58You had a full moon?
32:59We had a full moon
32:59and it was,
33:00it was cold.
33:01I know he,
33:02he shot during the summer,
33:02but just being
33:04at that location,
33:06seeing the zombies
33:07around me was,
33:09I was like,
33:09I mean,

33:10videos other than
33:11Smooth Criminal,
33:12but that,
33:13to be in the locate,
33:14the real location
33:15was incredible.

35:43their core,
35:45suck air in
35:46through their ears
35:56and they sound
35:58like someone
35:59speaking Yiddish

36:42And they say it
36:43as if I'm not gay.
36:45But I happen
36:46to have a gay husband.
36:48People have asked,

36:58live in Manhattan
36:58in a big building
36:59with a million people
37:00and a lot of gossip.
37:02A lot of gossip.
37:03And the woman
37:04that's in charge
37:05of all the gossip
37:06lives on our floor.

37:18she corners me
37:18in the elevator
37:19and says,
37:20uh-huh, uh-huh.
37:22I don't know
37:23if you've heard,
37:25but the lawyer
37:25that bought the apartment
37:26above yours
37:27is a homosexual.
37:31I said,
37:32Sharon,
37:33you're kidding.
37:33I've been sleeping
37:34with him all this time.
37:35I had no idea
37:36he's a lawyer.
37:41Fans are very supportive
37:42and have lots of advice
37:44for us.
37:44Lots of advice.
37:46Yep.
37:46You guys are so cute.
37:47Oh, my God.
37:48You guys should...
37:50You guys should
37:51have a baby.
37:53We can't.
37:56Did you miss that class
37:57in junior high school?
37:59No, there's ways.
38:01There's ways.
38:01With a surrogate
38:02for only $220,000,
38:05you can try.
38:06It doesn't always work.
38:07It doesn't always take.
38:10Leo and I
38:11took $220,000
38:12and redid
38:13all the bathrooms
38:14in our Connecticut home.
38:16Yes.
38:17Yes.
38:18Yes.
38:19And they all work.
38:21Yes.
38:21They all took.
38:22They took seven weeks.
38:24But now we have
38:25the heated floors
38:26and the steam shower.
38:27Lots of joy we have
38:28from this.
38:29Yeah, yeah.
38:30Lots of advice
38:31they have for us.
38:32You guys should
38:33rescue a dog.
38:35We rescued a Porsche.
38:38Yeah.
38:39It was in a car lot
38:40of the dealership.
38:42It's all alone.
38:43There's almost a year old.
38:45Couldn't just leave it there.
38:47Leo fell in love with it.
38:48And now Leo brings it everywhere.
38:49So it's a win-win.
38:51Yeah.
38:52Yes.
38:56My husband is younger.
38:58He's 10, 12 years younger than me.
39:0122 years younger.
39:0210 and 12.
39:03Yes.
39:04He's a millennial.
39:06A millennial.
39:07Yeah.
39:07Yeah.
39:08Yeah.
39:09We have small little
39:10generational differences.
39:12For example,
39:13I wear a watch.
39:14I've worn a watch
39:15ever since I was 13 years old.
39:17Millennials don't wear watches.
39:19But this past summer,
39:20we're on the beach.
39:21I look over.
39:22I see Leo wearing
39:22a black watch.
39:25I said,
39:25Leo,
39:26what time is it?
39:28It doesn't tell you the time.
39:31I said,
39:31your watch doesn't tell you the time.
39:33It's not a watch.
39:33It's a whoop.
39:36I said,
39:36well,
39:36what does your whoop tell you?
39:38It tells me how I'm doing,
39:40how I'm actually doing.
39:44I said,
39:45I look at my wrist.
39:46I see a gold Rolex.
39:48I know I'm doing good.
39:52And I also know
39:53what time it is.
39:59Oh, my God.
40:03Danny Rockman will be proud.
40:05All right.
