01:07Welcome, everybody!
01:07Welcome, welcome, welcome to The Tonight Show!
01:11You're here!
01:11You made it!
01:16Well, guys, today, President Trump said anything less
01:19than the U.S. having full control of Greenland
01:21is unacceptable.
01:22But, according to a new report,
01:24buying the island could cost $700 billion.
01:28Gosh, can't he just scroll Zillow and daydream
01:30like the rest of us?
01:32We're already $38 trillion in debt.
01:35This would be like your deadbeat uncle
01:36walking into a yacht dealership.
01:37You're like, no, no, don't do this.
01:41$700 billion, or we could try Trump's option
01:43of putting Greenland between us and Denmark
01:45and seeing who they float to.
01:47Come on, come on, come on over.
01:49You know, come on.
01:50You remember.
01:51You love me.
01:51You love me.
01:53Trump was like,
01:54how can we get $700 billion?
01:55And then one guy heard and was like,
01:57I'm back, baby!
01:59Yeah, baby!
02:04Meanwhile, today in Washington,
02:05J.D. Vance and Marco Rubio
02:07met with officials from Greenland and Denmark.
02:09Wait, they didn't meet with Trump?
02:11That's...
02:13It's like the cat in the hat
02:14sending Thing 1 and Thing 2, you know?
02:17Vance and Rubio used their favorite negotiation tactic,
02:20good cop, tiny cop.
02:23Well, people were talking about this yesterday.
02:25Trump was touring a factory in Michigan
02:26when a worker heckled him,
02:28and Trump responded by flipping him the bird.
02:31Or as that's also known, the Melania salute.
02:34And he goes, good morning.
02:35Good morning, honey.
02:40Usually when Trump flips the bird,
02:41he's just looking for a drumstick in his KFC bucket.
02:43He's like, what?
02:44Thigh, thigh, thigh.
02:45Where's the drumming?
02:47You guys see this?
02:48According to a new report,
02:49Trump has been texting
02:50with New York City Mayor Zoran Mamdani.
02:54Every time Trump texts,
02:55Mamdani's like,
02:56duck my life.
02:59Mamdani calls Trump Mr. President,
03:01while Trump calls Mamdani
03:02the Shane to my ilia.
03:08Get this?
03:09The USDA is now using Trump
03:11in their new campaign
03:12to encourage people to drink whole milk.
03:13This is real.
03:14Look at this.
03:16Yeah.
03:18That's real.
03:19Trump also filmed a commercial.
03:21Check this out.
03:22Do you drink skim milk?
03:23No, no, no, no, no.
03:242% milk?
03:25No, no, no, no, no.
03:27Almond, oat, or coconut milk?
03:28Absolutely not.
03:29What are you talking about?
03:30How about delicious, nutritious whole milk?
03:33Oh, yes, yes, yes.
03:35Whole milk makes you big and strong
03:37so you can lift weights like this
03:40or this
03:45or this
03:48so what's your favorite drink?
03:50Coca-Cola.
03:51He was supposed to say whole milk.
03:54Close.
04:01Well, switching gears,
04:02today there was a massive Verizon outers
04:04that had customers' phones stuck in SOS mode.

06:07It's just like Jesus would have wanted.
06:12Well, this is exciting.
06:14Nike just signed their first professional pickleball player,
06:16Anna Lee Waters.
06:17Wow!
06:19That's really cool. I love pickleball.
06:21Yeah, it's fun. You know what's even more fun, though?
06:23Pidell. You ever play Pidell?
06:24No. I really enjoy pickleball,
06:27so I'm gonna stick with that.
06:31Good.
06:34That's good.
06:36Glad we settled that.
06:38In other news, I read that...
06:42It's just you can't say pickleball is more fun
06:44if you've never played Pidell.
06:46I've seen some videos of it,
06:49but pickleball just seems more my thing.
06:52That's awesome.
06:57Uh, T-Saron, ha-ha-ha-ha.
07:03Let's move on.
07:04Uh, I saw that, uh, it's just Pidell has walls,
07:09which adds a whole new complex dimension.
07:11Yeah, yeah.
07:13Yeah, see, I don't really need walls in my sport,
07:16because I'm a pickleball guy.
07:19Totally, totally, totally, totally, totally, totally.
07:21Yeah, yeah, not a big deal. Not a big deal.
07:23Some people don't like complexity.
07:24Ha-ha-ha.
07:27Let's get back to the news.
07:28Uh, um...
07:30In Iowa, I saw...
07:31Do you know Pidell is the fastest-growing paddle sport?
07:35I don't want to play Pidell.
07:38Great! I don't care, then. In other news...
07:45In the world? The fastest-growing paddle sport in the world!
07:50Pickleball is just fine by me!
07:54Exactly! Just fine! Pidell is the future! Pidell is a movement!
07:59I don't want a movement! I want pickleball!
08:03You're embarrassing yourself right now! Pickleball is dunsy!
08:07Fine! I'll play you in Pidell!
08:09Does that make you happy, Fallon? Does it? Does it make you happy?
08:12It does! Because, more than anything, I cherish the time we spend together
08:19because you're a great friend!
08:21That's so nice of you! I feel the same way!
08:24And I'm looking forward to hanging out with you!

08:30I love that!
08:37Tariq Trotter, everyone! Tariq Trotter! There he is! There he is!
08:47Hey, everybody! I heard that a truck in Ireland
08:49was carrying a load of seafood when it crashed into a ditch
08:52and set 15,000 live crabs free.
08:56Pretty much the best-case scenario after telling your friends
08:59they got crabs from a truck driver.
09:05Crabs!
09:05Thankfully, everything was okay after they hosed down the road
09:08with melted butter. There you go.
09:09Guys...
09:13That's right.
09:15Finally, guys, you ever see a photo in the news
09:17and think that headline could be better?

13:09Is this thing on with Will Arnett?
13:11Unbelievable. Bradley Cooper.
13:14Great job directing this. I want to get into that.
13:16But also, you're in Jay Kelly with George Clooney.
13:19Yes.
13:19And Adam Sandler.
13:20Yes.
13:20We love it.
13:21The best.
13:22The best.
13:23You made a great year.
13:25And then I did a little research on you.
13:28Uh-oh.
13:28Yes. And I found out you were in George Clooney's
13:31first-ever movie.
13:32Yes.
13:33I'm very excited to talk about this.
13:34Do you remember filming Grizzly 2?
13:37Oh, yeah.
13:38Revenge.
13:39Oh, yes. I was 15.
13:41We were in Budapest, Hungary, and got stuck there
13:43because they lost their financing.
13:45And we had to wait a month in Budapest
13:47till they could finish our scenes.
13:49What?
13:51Wait, so you waited a month?
13:53A month.
13:53Yeah.
13:5415 years old?
13:55Yes. With George.
13:56With George, yeah.
13:57Which was amazing.
13:58It's a good person to hang out with.
13:59And, by the way, the exact same person we know today.
14:02Is that right?
14:03Fiercely loyal, incredible friend, beautiful citizen.
14:06We love him.
14:07Oh, yeah, we do.
14:08We love you.
14:08Yeah.
14:10What was Grizzly 2 about?
14:14I think you know.
14:15Yeah, I do. I do, yeah.
14:16It looks like a bear attack, but then in here,
14:19it looks like there's a concert or something.
14:21There's all kinds of things.
14:23Maybe he's the lead singer? I'm confused.
14:26I got to watch it. I got to watch it.
14:29We had Kristen Wiig here the other night,
14:31who was one of my all-time faves.
14:33And you just crushed it with Palm Royale.
14:35You were one of the creators of this series.
14:37Yes, yeah. Executive producer. Kristen's amazing.
14:40But then you, but also Carol Burnett.
14:43Carol Burnett. Can we just say...
14:45I know I produced this show
14:47so that I could know and hang out with Carol Burnett.
14:50That's exactly right, yeah.
14:51I mean, it's the greatest thing that ever happened.
14:53And the finale, by the way,
14:55is a giant big dance musical sequence thing
14:58that you have to watch.
14:59But it's basically kind of like a tribute
15:02almost to Carol Burnett.
15:03It really is.
15:03And something I get to do with her
15:05the last couple of episodes,
15:06but particularly the final episode.
15:08So please watch. It's all now available.
15:11It's all available, yeah.
15:12Please watch Palm Royale.
15:13Yeah.
15:14It's well done. It's so fun.
15:16It's well shot, well written.
15:18The design, everything.
15:19It's just an amazing spectacle.
15:20Let's talk about, is this thing on?
15:23Please.
15:23Man, you were great.
15:24Oh, my gosh.
15:25You were fantastic.
15:26And Will Arnett is...
15:27You never get to see, really, the side of Will Arnett,
15:29but he can act.
15:30Oh, my God. He's incredible in the film.
15:32And Bradley Cooper is, you know, an unparalleled filmmaker.
15:36I mean, he's just...
15:37Other than just being an extraordinary actor.
15:39What's he like as a director?
15:42He's amazing.
15:43He is such a perfectionist.
15:45He wants it true at all costs.
15:49And...
15:50Like...
15:51Give me an example.
15:52To the point.
15:52To the point.
15:54I am an Olympic athlete,
15:57an Olympic...
15:58Volleyball.
15:58An Olympic volleyball player.
15:59Yes.
16:00And I, too, am, you know, very true to my craft.
16:05I love being authentic at every turn.
16:08So I started training.
16:10I started understanding the game.
16:12Yeah.
16:12Gabby Reese, friends who are great Olympians in the sport,
16:16gave me advice.
16:17What is it like to play a middle, to spike the ball?
16:19What's it like emotionally?
16:20Who would this person be?
16:22And we get there because Bradley was like,
16:24I just need a piece, a moment of you and your ferocity.
16:29And suddenly, there's a game laid out,
16:33and a net, and a ball, and professional players.
16:36The real thing.
16:37You go, wait, I thought we were just doing a close-up.
16:38Exactly.
16:39But he wanted me to have the energy of, like, coming into it.
16:42So as I was doing it, I was spanking the ball.
16:44But, like, guys, shoulder blade injury.
16:47Can barely do it.
16:48I'm an actor, guys.
16:49I'm not an Olympic volleyball player.
16:50I'm not an Olympic volleyball player, yeah.
16:52And Bradley's like, well, yeah, yeah, it's just to feel it.
16:55But, you know, you just get up and you focus, you know, and he does it.
16:58And he is a precise and perfect Olympic-level volleyball player.
17:04Of course he is.
17:05Of course he is.
17:06I mean, a man can play volleyball like he plays air guitar on your show.
17:10I know.
17:10Come on, Bradley, yes.
17:11He is perfect at everything.
17:13And he could see my, just, trauma.
17:16And then I think, was like, okay, we're just gonna get...
17:19You know?
17:19Yeah.
17:20I felt like they were moving in quickly.
17:22Yeah, yeah.
17:23But I did it.
17:24I tried my best.
17:25And I felt the energy of it.
17:27But I don't know that I'm going to the Olympics.
17:29Oh, yeah.
17:30We'll see. We'll see.
17:31Lindsey Vonn can do that for me, guys.
17:33We'll see you next summer.
17:33We'll see you next summer.
17:34It's in L.A., so we'll see what you do.
17:37I love the movie so much.
17:39It's so funny.
17:40It's so raw.
17:41It's so real.
17:42How do we set up the film and who you play?
17:45What I love about it is it's also just deeply hopeful about relationship.
17:50And it's a film about a couple who've been together for 26 years who not only aren't the
17:55same people they were when they met, because we never are, but they're trying to find their
18:00way back to themselves so that they can even understand whether they can save this marriage.
18:06And it's pretty beautiful and sweet.
18:09And people keep saying how gorgeous it is to have the experience of having hope and,
18:14you know, something about truly honoring a love story.
18:19Yeah.
18:19I loved it.
18:20And it's loosely based on a real story, right?
18:23Yeah.
18:23John Bishop, the comedian in England, and he and his wife had this similar dynamic.
18:30So they split up, and then Will starts doing stand-up comedy.
18:33Yeah.
18:34Starts going up at a comedy club.
18:35Not a comedian.
18:36And just seeing.
18:36And then he starts getting good.
18:37He's good at it.
18:38Yeah.
18:39And then you end up going to the club and seeing him not knowing.
18:41It's so good.
18:43It's just great.
18:43And, by the way, I might also go to the club with...
18:47Yeah, I know.
18:47...my fellow actor, Peyton Manning.
18:50Peyton Manning.
18:51Who's amazing in the movie.
18:52Peyton Manning is in the movie.
18:53I was like...
18:55I don't know if we can say it.
18:56He's so good.
18:56He's fantastic.
18:58Yeah, you roll up a Peyton Manning.
18:59It's so good, somebody.
19:01I want to show a clip.
19:01Here's Laura Dern and Will Arnett in Is This Thing On.
19:04Take a look at this.
19:05I'm not sure what's happening right now.
19:07I'm upset.
19:08That's what's happening.
19:10Okay.
19:12You can upset me, and I can upset you.
19:16Right?
19:17That's what happens in a relationship.
19:20I never said that we couldn't get upset.
19:22I...
19:25I know you were trying to do a nice thing.
19:32How are my friends?
19:33Let's go in.
19:37Are you...
19:38Do you still want me to come to the attic tonight?
19:40Oh!
19:41What?
19:42Come on.
19:44Laura Dern, everybody!
19:45Is This Thing On?
19:46Is in theaters now!
19:48Tiana Taylor joins us after the break.
19:50Stick around, everybody.
19:52Thank you so much.
19:54Yeah.
19:56I'm going until I save the world.
20:01What?
20:05Welcome to Jurassic Park.
20:09Oh, my God!
20:20What?
20:36What?
20:37What?
20:37What?
20:38What?
20:38You wanna battle me?
20:47Oh, my God!
20:50You look gorgeous!
20:51Love it!
20:52Whoo!
20:53That's Tiana Taylor!
20:55Thank you!
20:56Tiana Taylor, who is hotter than you right now?
20:59Come on!
21:00Oh, my God!
21:01Hi!
21:03Thank you for coming back on the show.
21:05Thank you for having me.
21:06I wanna show you on the cover right now of Vanity.
21:09Ooh!
21:09Look at Tiana.
21:13Gorgeous.
21:15It's gotta feel good to dress up as Statue of Liberty, being a New Yorker.
21:19Yes, right?
21:20It was such a full-circle moment.
21:21I was really sitting there while the torch was burning.
21:23Like, I was kind of scared it was gonna burn my hand off.
21:26But I was like...
21:27I was like, oh, my God.
21:28I can't believe I'm really on the cover.
21:30It was such a full-circle moment, especially as a New Yorker.
21:33I was so emotional throughout the shoot.
21:35I had to, like, really stop and say, this is really happening.
21:38This is really happening.
21:39It's all really happening.
21:40And your perfect timing for this magazine, because you just won a Golden Globe.
21:43Yeah.
21:44Tiana.
21:47I'm so happy!
21:49Ha-ha!
21:52You are phenomenal. One battle after another.
21:55It's unbelievable.
21:56It's so...
21:57I told you, because I know you.
21:58You've sang on the show before, and you're the nicest person.
22:01By the way, Tiana's nice off-camera to everybody in the whole crew.
22:06Always. We love you.
22:08You really are.
22:10And you play a totally different character in this movie.
22:14And I was like, I was afraid of you.
22:15I always find it so funny when I read certain comments.
22:19They're like, she ain't doing nothing but acting like herself.
22:20I'm like, little do they know, I am a marshmallow.
22:23I don't want to know.
22:24Exactly!
22:24Exactly!
22:25Never!
22:26Of course!
22:27But this is...
22:28A lot of people talk the talk, and they go, oh, I won an award.
22:31That's really cool.
22:32Yeah.
22:32One step better.
22:33You brought the Golden Globe here.
22:34Yes!
22:35I knew you wanted to see it.
22:38This is what I'm talking about.
22:39Come on!
22:40Honey!
22:42No, literally, when I got it, I was like, I'm taking it straight to Jimmy.
22:46I knew you wanted to see it.
22:47I'm taking it straight to Jimmy.
22:48I'm taking it straight to Jimmy.
22:49There it is.
22:50Look, it says Golden Glows right there.
22:53Oh, I didn't even notice that.
22:54Yeah, right?
22:56It's heavy.
22:57It's got a good weight.
22:57That's what I said on stage.
22:58I think I might have cursed by accident, too.
23:00I was like, this is heavy.
23:02You had a great speech.
23:05It was the first award of the night.
23:06Did you freak out?
23:08Did you just black out and go, I don't know where I am?
23:10Yes, because I didn't know it was the first award of the night.
23:14So, I was, like, rocking back and forth.
23:16Like, my heart was pounding.
23:18Like, I just didn't know what to expect.
23:19Dude, the first one up, you're like, this is gonna, like...
23:22I mean, this could ruin your whole night or make it...
23:26And it's like, as the envelope opens, it just goes faster and faster.
23:29Yeah.
23:30Yeah.
23:31And then you got to...
23:32Come on, you just caressed.
23:33You know how to do it.
23:34Aw, thank you.
23:37I loved your speech.
23:39I loved your speech.
23:41Did you...
23:41Were you nervous when you read it or did you go...
23:44I had to write a speech.
23:45I was actually so mad because I left out a whole paragraph,
23:48but I didn't...
23:50I was trying to beat the embarrassment.
23:52I was like, if this music start playing on me, like...
23:54I am going to melt on this stage.
23:57Like, you know how the music plays?
23:58Some people still talk like, and yeah, and shout out to...
24:00All right, thank you. This way.
24:04This way.
24:05No, Tiana, come on this way.
24:06This way.
24:07This way.
24:07This way.
24:08Thank you, guys.
24:20But you did it, and you nailed it.
24:21I never wanted to be that person.
24:22I never wanted to be that person.
24:23That was perfect, though.
24:25I know your table was...
24:26Everyone was like, that was the table to be at,
24:28because of that high energy.
24:29Yeah, we was lit. We was lit.
24:30And then there was some...
24:31At one point, Leonardo DiCaprio was very animated,
24:34had a conversation with someone.
24:36And he was, like, doing this.
24:37And if you haven't seen it, take a look at this.
24:43Yeah.
24:46What is he doing?
24:48What is he doing?
24:50What?
24:51What?
24:52He's somebody...
24:53Who is he talking to?
24:55Okay, so look.
24:56Yesterday, I thought I broke the Da Vinci code, right?
24:58They was like, yeah, so he's talking to Tiana.
25:00Now, K-pop Demon Hunters won.
25:03And my kid's favorite song is Golden.
25:06Of course.
25:06So I was, like, really excited.
25:08So when I first seen it, I didn't watch the whole thing.
25:10So I was like, oh, you're talking about K-pop Demon Hunters?
25:12He was talking about me.
25:13But then I watched it, and they was doing, like,
25:14the lip-read thing.
25:15And I had to call Leo.
25:16I'm like, I wasn't asking you.
25:18Like, I knew exactly what K-pop was,
25:19because Chase taught me.
25:21So I was like, you can't be talking to me.
25:22Why are you talking to me?
25:23Because I already told people you was talking to me.
25:24And he was like...
25:25So apparently, he had two K-pop Demon Hunter conversations
25:29that night.
25:30So K-pop Demon Hunters...
25:32K-pop Demon Hunters was just in his mouth all night.
25:35And I'm just like...
25:36He loves it.
25:37And I'm like, who else are you kiki-ing with like that?
25:40Because literally, that's how, like, we kiki.
25:43He'd be like...
25:46So I had, like, a little friendly jealousy.
25:48I was like, who else are you chewing your invisible gun with?
25:52What a year you're having.
25:54And again, thank you.
25:55I'm so happy you're here.
25:56And you're gonna perform for us later tonight.
25:58Thank you. Yeah.
26:00Your new album, Escape Room.
26:03You came out of retirement to make it.
26:05Why was now the right time to make The Zone?
26:07Because it was all my terms, and I loved it again.
26:09I love to do what I love.
26:12You know?
26:13I can't pour into things that are not pouring into me.
26:15And I was just in a place in my life before retirement
26:17where I felt like that particular thing just wasn't,
26:21you know, feeding me.
26:23It wasn't pouring into me.
26:24And I needed to go and, you know, water other flowers
26:27and plants in my garden.
26:28I can't just stay stuck on one thing that's not willing to live.
26:31You know? So, yeah.
26:33And you got nominated for a Grammy?
26:37Yeah, nominated for a Grammy.
26:39Come on, bud!
26:40Yeah!
26:41What are you talking about?
26:44We were talking about how great you are yesterday
26:46because we had Ben Affleck and Matt Damon on the show.
26:48And you're in a new movie with them this Friday on Netflix
26:51called The Rip.
26:52How about your action skills, though?
26:54I mean, both in One Battle and The Rip.
26:56I mean, you fought Matt Damon.
26:59Ben, I had to, like, pull him up off of his brother
27:01in a scene.
27:02Yes.
27:02And when Joe yelled cut, Ben was like,
27:05What the F? You're so effing strong!
27:08Yeah!
27:11You fought Ben Affleck.
27:11And they was like, they was in it for real.
27:13You know, Ben is up there.
27:15Dude, Ben nailed it?
27:16I had to, like, fling him off.
27:17By the way, Ben Affleck is not a small dude.
27:20He's jacked.
27:21And I had to fling him off of somebody twice.
27:23I just wanted to beat everybody up.
27:25But you did it, though. You did it.
27:26I did.
27:27Yeah.
27:30It's a great movie. There's twists and turns.
27:33You don't really know what is happening and who's corrupt
27:35and what's going down.
27:37I want to show a clip.
27:38Here's Tiana Taylor in The Rip.
27:39Take a look at this.
27:42You think the cartel will firm a little loan, Uma?
27:45You know, cover my nut.
27:47It don't hurt to ask, you know?
27:49I heard they're pretty cool about loaning money to cops.
27:56I take home 80k a year after taxes.
28:00And for that, I get shot at, spit on, punched, kicked, insulted.
28:05I mean, honestly, I feel like you put a little bit of thought into them thoughts, Lolo.
28:14What would you do with this, Uma?
28:23Everything.
28:28Tiana Taylor, everybody!
28:30The Rip begins streaming this Friday on Netflix.
28:33And Escape Room is out now.
28:36We'll be right back with more Tonight Show.
28:37Stick around.
28:39What up, what up?
28:39It's the man you better know and love.
28:41Whether you disapprove or y'all showin' love.
28:44My appreciation, this is butter...
28:47Be another brick in the wall, uh.
28:54Our next guests are talented actors who star in the romantic comedy
28:59People We Meet on Vacation.
29:01I know!
29:02I loved it!
29:05It is currently the number one movie on Netflix.
29:09Please welcome Emily Bader and Tom Blythe!
29:25Emily, come on!
29:26That's cool!
29:28That's right!
29:31That's right!
29:32Emily Bader, Tom Blythe, welcome to the Tonight Show.
29:35Thank you so much for being here.
29:37Thanks for having us.
29:37This is the craziest thing I think I've ever done in my life.
29:40Oh, it's so fun.
29:43You guys are so great in People We Meet on Vacation.
29:47It is the number one movie on Netflix right now.
29:49It's so fun.
29:51It's so entertaining.
29:53It's so romantic.
29:55I totally bought it.
29:56I loved you guys.
29:57I loved you guys and totally bought into it.
29:59I couldn't get enough of you guys.
30:01It was a fantastic movie.
30:03Great, great, great job.
30:04Yeah, it was fun.
30:06I liked it.
30:07Good.
30:08That's good.
30:09It's a very funny, great romantic comedy.
30:11When you are auditioning for this role, did you know immediately?
30:16Like, you clicked, you're like, oh, we have chemistry.
30:18It's gonna work?
30:19Oh, man.
30:20I mean, yes, but then you still don't know if you secretly screwed up,
30:24and you just are waiting for weeks until they tell you something.
30:28Until they fire you.
30:29No, yeah.
30:29Or it's good news.
30:30But we had to do it over Netflix.
30:33It was on Netflix.
30:34We had to do it over Zoom, our chemistry test, right?
30:36Yeah.
30:37And it was so...
30:37Oh, is that right?
30:38Yeah.
30:38And it's like everything since COVID is...
30:41We're Zoom.
30:42Wait.
30:43So it's like...
30:43How do you even make that chemistry over Zoom?
30:45I was in Bulgaria.
30:46You were in...
30:47Sweden.
30:48It's a traditionally, like, unsexy sort of oxymoron.
30:52Yeah.
30:53Zoom chemistry.
30:54Yes.
30:55Yeah.
30:55There's a fine chemistry through the screen.
30:57But you came on and, like, blew everyone away.
30:59Everyone was kind of saying, we need, like, Meg.
31:03We need, like, Meg Ryan energy for this movie to work.
31:06And then Emily came in and, like, blew it away.
31:08And it was a no-brainer.
31:09You both hit home runs.
31:10I mean, oh, my gosh.
31:11And I know you filmed all over these great, amazing romantic locations.
31:16There was one on the beach that's just gorgeous in Spain, I want to say.
31:20Mm-hmm.
31:20And you were telling me that you had kind of an interesting experience there.
31:24Oh, yeah.
31:25So it was...
31:26We were shooting the final scene of the entire movie, which is also sort of a recreation of the cover
31:31of the book.
31:33Easy scene on paper.
31:34We don't speak.
31:36But we were shooting on a nude beach, which we didn't...
31:42We didn't know it was a nude beach.
31:42No.
31:43We weren't briefed on that.
31:44Your characters are not...
31:45We're not nude.
31:46No, you're not...
31:46It transpired that the beach we were shooting on turned out to be a nude beach.
31:50And we got there, you know, a film set kind of thinking we were the bee's knees.
31:54And then we kind of look around and we're like, oh, there are...
31:56There's a sea of, like, ancient Spaniards.
32:00Very, like...
32:01I guess generally, like, people who like nude beaches tend to be the elderly.
32:05Yes, yes, they are.
32:06And, I mean, hands on hips.
32:08Yeah.
32:08Oh, really?
32:09Just out there, huh?
32:11All kind of nodding approval and some disapproval, like...
32:13Yeah, and it's that thing of when you get nervous, you know, picture people like that.
32:17Yeah.
32:19We didn't have to.
32:20Actually, it was happening.
32:21No, but we got to try it in real time.
32:23And I don't know if it works.
32:24No, yeah.
32:25Actually, it makes you more nervous.
32:26Way more nervous.
32:27You start sweating.
32:28You're like, oh.
32:28Oh, by the way, you have a great dance scene.
32:33I know, but no.
32:35Forever Your Girl, Paula Abdul, which is a great song.
32:38And she actually gave you a stamp of approval and said, great job.
32:41Isn't that insane?
32:41It's the coolest.
32:43That's so cool of her to do that.
32:44I mean...
32:45Anytime you have, like, a musical number in a film, you kind of want to do justice to
32:49the artist.
32:49And so for her to kind of get behind it is cool.
32:52I thought since you guys are crushing the game right now in romantic comedy, I thought
32:56it would be kind of fun to play a quick game where I'm going to give you lines.
33:01I'm going to give you movie lines that are not from a romantic comedy and see if you
33:05can deliver them as if they are the most romantic lines ever.
33:10Tom, that's for you.
33:11Emily, this is for you.
33:12Can I keep this?
33:13I want to save this.
33:14Of course, you can.
33:16Can we dim the lights or get in the mood a little bit there?
33:18Oh, no.
33:18Okay.
33:19Walk in.
33:22Tom, whenever you're ready.
33:23This is beautiful lighting.
33:24Yeah.
33:25Okay.
33:26Oh, dear.
33:34May the force be with you.
33:39This is good.
33:40This is good.
33:41All right.
33:41Emily, your turn.
33:49Hasta la vista.
33:55The way down that is good.
33:57All right.
33:57All right, Tom.
33:58Give me a good one.
33:59Okay.
33:59Okay.
33:59Yeah.
34:00I'm so excited to see this.
34:05What?
34:11Welcome to Jurassic Park.
34:14Oh, my God!
34:16Welcome to Jurassic Park.
34:27You talking to me?
34:29That's good.
34:30Are you talking to me?
34:31Yeah.
34:32Come on.
34:33All right.
34:34Round us out.
34:35Just get one together.
34:36Here we go.
34:40Wow.
34:41Yeah.
34:45I want the truth.
34:49You can't handle the truth.
34:52Come on.
34:53That's how you do it.
34:55That's how you do it right there.
34:57I want to show everyone a clip.
35:00Here's Emily Bader and Tom Blythe
35:02in People We Meet on Vacation.
35:04Take a look at this.
35:06Where does Alex Nielsen stand on travel?
35:08Love or hate?
35:12I mean, I've never really traveled anywhere.
35:17But this morning,
35:20I saw this beautiful sunrise
35:23over this place that I'd never been before.
35:27And I wouldn't have if everything had gone according to plan.
35:30So...
35:33Love.
35:35I'm thinking love.
35:36Okay.
35:39So should we detour this road trip to Canada right now?
35:41I mean, I know it's at the top of your list.
35:43Let's try being friends first.
35:47Emily Bader, Tom Blythe, everybody!
35:50People We Meet on Vacation is streaming right now on Netflix.
35:55More Tonight Show after the break.
35:56Stick around, everybody.
35:58Trying to get a grip and slip.
35:59You lift me up.
36:00Since I was a pup.
36:02I was designed to whip up.
36:03Get to know me, brother.
36:04Coach, me slowly but cold, buzzing.
36:06Jokers thought they was when, of course, they wasn't.
36:09Dunkin' with a dozen...
36:12Look who's doin' it well, uh.
36:14Yeah.
36:15Still doin' it well, yeah.

36:18Oh, yeah.
36:19Performing hard part featuring Lucky Day from her Grammy-nominated album, Escape Room.
36:27Once again, Tiana Taylor.
36:38Uh-uh.
36:40Uh-uh.
36:46Got a few questions for you.
36:48This getting real confusing.
36:51Do you want this or do you don't?
36:54Uh-uh.
36:56Uh-uh.
36:58Oh, I see a difference in the way you're moving
37:01Proving you don't give up by losing
37:04Once at home, so now I'm gone
37:07I was your wife, I was your brother
37:15But all you did was make me cry
37:18While you enjoyed the view
37:26So selfish, can't get through like you
37:29Who really wins when a fan refutes
37:32So cold, you'll turn love blue
37:36Your pride will divide the night and the sun
37:39You never said it to me
37:43You never said it'd be easy
37:45But the hard part is over with
37:50I'm through
37:53I can't believe that you said it to me
37:56You never said it'd be easy
37:59But the hard part is over with
38:07I can feel you from me
38:10Closing spaces we filled up with tears
38:13Time and energy, love can't get back
38:16I'm gonna feel all this feeling, I'm feeling
38:19I can't relapse
38:21Oh no, I'm a chain react
38:23And I understand
38:25That it's a daily road
38:28And we can't switch tracks
38:30These missing pieces keep me faking
38:32Hard to move on
38:35Thinking we timed out
38:37Thinking I timed out
38:40But the hard part is over with you
