00:43.
00:49All right, welcome, welcome.
00:51Welcome, welcome, welcome.
00:53.
00:53.
00:53.
00:53Wow.
00:55Wow.
01:02Come on. That's what I'm talking about.
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.
01:25Today, 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, but things can definitely get worse.
01:51Meanwhile, when Trump realized he fired the woman
01:53with access to all the Epstein files,
01:55he was like, oh, crap.
01:56Uh, Pam, 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
02:10NATO, Bruce Springsteen, and the ice cream machine
02:12at McDonald's?
02:13It 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
02:24is RFK Jr.
02:26Weird.
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,
02:59he 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.
03:06Watch this.
03:07Let me begin by congratulating the team at NASA
03:11and our brave astronauts.
03:13It will be traveling further than any manned rocket
03:16has ever flown and will very substantially pass the moon.
03:21Remember, because of our Drill Baby drill program,
03:23America has plenty of gas.
03:25We have so much gas.
03:26It would lead to decades of extortion,
03:30economic pain, and instability
03:32worse 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,
03:46you gotta know it.
03:50Well, it's been a rough month for Trump,
03:53but he's not worried
03:54because he has a plan to turn things around.
03:56Take 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?
04:08Skyrocketing.
04:09Gas prices?
04:10Way down.
04:11Measles?
04:12Gone.
04:13And my 33% approval rating now?
04:1667%.
04:16Round that up to 100.
04:18So, like the great Missy Elliott,
04:20I'm just going to put my thing down,
04:22flip it, and reverse it.
04:23Is your flippin' nippin' yad yad?
04:25Is your flippin' nippin' yad yad yad?
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
04:39a historic 10-day mission around the moon.
04:45Uh, but this is true.
04:47Get this.
04:47Shortly after it launched,
04:49the 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.
05:00For 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
05:06or an Artemis II?
05:08Sorry to get personal.
05:11Luckily, Mario and Luigi were in the galaxy
05:13and fixed it right up.
05:14So, we're all good.
05:15Yep, the Artemis II crew
05:16is on their way to the moon.
05:18Now, I wanted to learn more about this,
05:19so please welcome,

05:35Uh, so I see you have your model there.
05:37Tell us, how did the launch go?
05:39Well, Jimmy, the launch,
05:41uh, you know, it went without a hitch.
05:43Uh, they lifted off from Cape Canaveral.
05:45Yep.
05:45And, uh, just like, you know,
05:50and then their trajectory
05:51took them, you know, into orbit,

05:57you know, all the way to the moon,
05:58like,

06:03Then what's going to happen?
06:04Oh, well,

06:07will fly by them
06:08and they'll have to, like,
06:09go on a different course,

07:47Michael Rothy, everybody.
07:55Don't say my name.
08:00Keep my name out of your mouth.
08:11Well, switching gears,
08:14I read that Bed Bath & Beyond is buying The Container Store
08:18for $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
08:30of a cyber attack.
08:32Yeah, it's not good.
08:33Well, here to comment is the man behind Hasbro's
08:35biggest game, Monopoly.
08:37Please welcome Mr. Monopoly.
08:43Welcome to the show, Mr. Monopoly.
08:45How are you doing?
08:47Oh, this is terrible, Jimmy.
08:49Just terrible.
08:51This hack is the worst thing that's ever happened.
08:55What do you mean?
08:56Well, the hackers, they know everything.
09:00They know all of my info.
09:02They know my home address, my emails, my social security number.
09:08But that's not all.
09:10They also know some more personal information.
09:15Oh, no. Like what?
09:16Well, 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.
09:43They have all my nudes where I'm wearing nothing but a strategically placed top hat.
09:49And, well, 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.
10:00Okay, okay, okay. Just stop talking.
10:02But it gets worse. It gets so much worse, Jimmy.
10:06No, no, no, no. Please, don't say it. Don't say it.
10:08Yes, it's true.
10:09No, no, no. Trust me. You do not want to admit it.
10:12Yeah, I'm in the Epstein file.
10:14Alright, that's it. Get out of here.
10:15Mr. Monopoly, everybody.
10:17Thank you very much, Mr. Monopoly. Oh, my goodness.
10:19My gosh. It's crazy.
10:20Guys, well, listen to this.
10:21Hershey announced that they will soon go back to using chocolate for 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 was like,
10:39Great timing?
10:40What?
10:41And finally, speaking of Easter, a new survey found that most people eat their peeps headfirst.
10:48Jesus heard and was like, Guys, I think we're losing the plot here.
10:51We have a great show. Give it up for The Roots.
10:54Let's turn it up.
11:08Thanks, everybody. What a show we have for you tonight.
11:12Last night, yesterday, was April Fool's Day, right?
11:16Yep. So, last year, April Fool's Day, this is true, I went home and my kids were excited to see
11:24me.
11:24They go, Dad, Dad's here. Dad's here.
11:26And my youngest, Franny, goes, Dad, can you put on something that you don't care if it gets messy?
11:32And I go, Yeah, okay. I just got home.
11:35I go, Sure, sure, sure. So, I put on a T-shirt.
11:37I go, She's probably going to put makeup on me. I don't know. Whatever.
11:40So, I go, I don't know what's happening. So, I go, Yeah.
11:42And I come around the corner and she hits me in the face with a whipped cream pie.
11:48Whipped cream goes everywhere. Goes all over the walls.
11:52Nothing on my shirt. Nothing. Just all over my face.
11:54I go, What are you doing? Why would you do that?
11:58And she goes, April Fool's.
12:00No. No, that's not how April Fool's works.
12:05That's not April Fool's at all. So, I go, That's bad.
12:08I go, I'm going to get you. I'm going to get you back.
12:10You know, I will. I'll think of something.
12:12And she goes, Do you think I care?
12:15Really? Where 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.
12:21You know. She goes, I like snakes.
12:24Whatever. So, I go. I get cleaned off.
12:27I go and I was putting her to bed.
12:30And I gave her a kiss. I said, All right, I love you.
12:31I turn the lights out. I go, Good night. I love you.
12:34And I was leaving the room. She goes, Dad?
12:35I go, She goes, I don't really like snakes.
12:39And I said, Do you think I care?
12:43Because they have to learn, eventually, what real life is.
12:48300 snakes.
12:49Anyways, last night, finished the show. Great show.
12:52We had so much fun.
12:53I'm on my way home. I get a text.
12:55Because now they're texting.
12:57And they go, Dad, when are you coming home?
12:58I go, Soon. You'll see. I'll see.
13:00She goes, Okay, make sure you're wearing something.
13:02You don't care 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 to happen.
13:12So, I went home. I put a T-shirt on.
13:15And I stood in the shower.
13:17And this happened.
13:24Dad!
13:27I'm so mad.
13:28Are you ready?
13:29No.
13:30I'm so mad.
13:32Just standing here because I'm hurting no.
13:35It deserves it all.
13:37I also licked it.
13:43Oh, my goodness.
13:47Unbelievable.
13:48Good timing.
13:49Good timing.
13:50I also licked it.
13:51Because I also licked it.
13:52Wow.
13:53And her sister was video-rating the whole time.
13:55Yeah.
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 predictions.
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.
14:33It is in...
14:36It is impossible to predict who's gonna go all the way, but you're in luck.
14:40Because when it comes to predicting things, we have a secret weapon.
14:43And it's puppies.
14:45It is time for the Puppy Predictors 2026 Final Four Edition!
14:51Puppy Predictors!
14:56Puppy 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 who will be crowned the national champs.
15:17Now, let's meet the puppies.
15:22For UConn, we have Donna Braylon.
15:28For...
15:30For...
15:31For Illinois, we have...
15:35Kyle McAdams.
15:37For Arizona, we have...
15:41Ted 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.
15:57Uh, all right. All right, ready?
15:59On your mark, get set, release the puppies.
16:08Oh!
16:10It'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 at Forest.
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, and 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.
16:58Everyone, please welcome Jack Black!
17:02Pictures, pictures, deaches, peaches!
17:25That's what I was talking about.
17:28That's right!
17:28People, that's right.
17:32They love you!
17:34They love you!
17:38I'm eating them. Oh!
17:40Oh-ho!
17:45Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
17:47Oh, wow.
17:49Sit back and relax. Jack Black is in the house.
17:52That was a lot of love.
17:54In the house.
17:56Yes. Jack, 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. You know what?
18:02I got to give one more shout-out to the band.
18:04The Roots, you guys!
18:06Oh, come on. The Roots are on fire!
18:09They are unbelievable.
18:10Let's talk about SNL. You're here in the building.
18:12Saturday Night Live. It is Jack Black.
18:15It is Jack White.
18:16Yes! What?!
18:17What a one-two punch.
18:19It's a one-two punch. Did you know about that?
18:21When did you find out about this book?
18:22So, this is crazy. I got the call that I was gonna be on SNL.
18:25I didn't know who the musical guest was gonna be.
18:27And then I got a call from Jack White, and he was like,
18:30what do you think? Should 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! You're gonna be the musical guest?
18:37And he was like, I'm thinking about it. Should we?
18:39I wanted to check with you first.
18:41I was like, hell yes, we should! Jack!
18:44Because I've always secretly wanted to, like, party with Jack White,
18:48because I was like, wait a second,
18:49we're like the opposite sides of the Jack spectrum.
18:52Yes! It's like a no-brainer, but it's never...
18:55We've never had the opportunity,
18:56and we're gonna finally mix it up.
18:58Yes! Let's see what happens.
19:00It's exciting.
19:02Uh, uh, let's talk about the, uh,
19:03the Super Mario Galaxy movie.
19:06This movie is gonna be huge, bud. Congrats.
19:08You do great on this.
19:09The first Super Mario made over a billion.
19:11Yeah. Billion-ion-ion-ion.
19:14That is... Can you believe that?
19:16Dude, that's amazing words.
19:17A billion. That's nuts. And then your song, Peaches, by the way,
19:21was 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...
19:29Is that exciting to have your song on the charts?
19:32Yeah. I was really stoked that it went viral,
19:35as the kids say. Yes!
19:37And, uh, uh, it was a sweet little jam
19:39that just sort of came up, uh, organically
19:41while we were recording.
19:43Uh, we were, like, halfway through the process.
19:45We were, like, a year into recording Bowser voice,
19:47and... and, uh, the writers and director was like,
19:50we have an idea for maybe Bowser sings a song.
19:53And I was like, nah, that's a bad idea.
19:54I'm not gonna 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, and I was like,
20:02this is funny. We gotta do this.
20:05And, uh, I'm really glad that... that they did,
20:07because it's, like, a beautiful little nugget of joy
20:10in the middle of that movie. I was really stoked.
20:13It was... the P.A.G.?
20:14Yeah, man. Bowser's got a soft side.
20:17He's a lover and a fighter.
20:19Ooh! I love that.
20:21I remember, uh, I was, uh, playing it for my kids,
20:24because I was like, dude, you gotta hear this.
20:26And they...
20:27Beach. He's so cool.
20:29And with my style, we're gonna roar.
20:35Beach. Understand.
20:37Yeah. And we didn't rehearse it.
20:39I don't know if that's the right key.
20:42I give him a little taste.
20:44That's what I'm talking about. That's the magic.
20:45I can't help it.
20:46You crushed it as Bowser.
20:48I think, though, I don't know if he got enough respect.
20:52Well, you know, I mean, Bowser got a lot of love in the fans,
20:56the Nintendo fans, but 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.
21:08Everyone's singing. Your kids are singing.
21:09My kids are singing. Everyone's singing.
21:10I was like, for a second, I was like,
21:12I think we might get a nomination.
21:14And, uh, sure enough, we did not.
21:17It was a good thing. What?
21:18And I even, like, campaigned for it a little bit.
21:20I'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,
21:28but, uh, my archenemy, the gauze, Ryan Gosling.
21:33Oh.
21:34Did get a nomination.
21:35And I was like, son of a biscuit.
21:38This Gosling always snacking on my potatoes.
21:42Yeah, exactly.
21:44Look, I love I'm Just Can, love Barbie movie.
21:46Yeah, of course, but...
21:48But I can't pretend like there wasn't a little professional jealousy.
21:52Yeah.
21:52And then I wrote a song about how jealous Bowser was.
21:57Do you want to hear it?
21:58I'll just say, it's really short.
22:00Yeah.
22:01It's really short.
22:02Yeah, it's amazing.
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 has a remnant.
22:27It's very Bowser to be jealous of.
22:29Yeah, of course.
22:30Also, Ryan Gosling, too.
22:31The gauze!
22:32The gauze!
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!
22:42Get back here!
22:43No!
22:44You can't catch the wind!
22:50I just kind of did.
22:52It was a metaphor!
22:53More!
22:54Ah!
22:56Ow!
22:58Ah!
22:59Stop it!
23:01Ah!
23:02Ah!

23:46Our next guest is a talented actress
23:48who stars in the series
23:50Your Friends and Neighbors.
23:52Season 2 premieres tomorrow on Apple TV.
23:55Please welcome Olivia Munn!
24:09Thank 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?
24:23How's Malcolm?
24:25Everybody is doing great.
24:26Malcolm's doing great.
24:27Send in my regards, please.
24:28I will.
24:29He loves you.
24:30I love that little kid.
24:31He's so cute.
24:31Yeah, yeah.
24:32How old is he now?
24:32He's four.
24:34And Maymay is 18 months.
24:35Oh, my gosh.
24:36And they're just little best friends and 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 about a month.
24:44Yeah.
24:44Well, 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, we had to do martial arts and we had to do it
24:52until
24:52we made black belts.
24:54It was very important in our family.
24:55Really?
24:56What kind of?
24:56Taekwondo.
24:57Wow.
24:58And so I was like, it's really important for me that he gets into Jiu Jitsu.
25:02And it's so cute because he's in there and before he goes in there, he bows before
25:05he walks onto the mat.
25:06It's so cute.
25:07I know, it's the sweetest thing.
25:09She's this big, yeah.
25:09I know, it's so cute.
25:10But, you know, the other day, I was getting him changed.
25:13He was putting on his gi and, you know, tying his belt.
25:15And we had spent the whole day playing outside without shoes on.
25:18Yeah.
25:19And so I looked at his feet and I was like, they're filthy.
25:20I was like, let me just wipe them down.
25:21He was like, no, I 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, why do I have to wash my feet?
25:27And I said, well, because you're going to share the mat with other kids and you need your feet
25:30to be clean.
25:30Yeah.
25:31So he begrudgingly let me, you know, wipe his feet off.
25:33And then as soon as I was done, he bolted.
25:36He was about to step off onto the street.
25:38And I was like, Malcolm, you're going to get your feet dirty.
25:40Yes.
25:41And he turned around and gave me that look.
25:43Yeah, yeah.
25:44And then he almost stepped off.
25:47And as soon as he like had one foot in the air, I went, hey, respect the dojo.
25:54And I was like, who is that?
25:57Like, I was like, am I a tiger mom?
25:59Like, I had no idea that I even had that in me.
26:01Like, who says that respect the dojo?
26:03Respect the dojo.
26:04I love it.
26:04I have never said that in my life.
26:07Maybe it was ingrained in your mind.
26:09It must have been a sensei, like years ago.
26:11I mean, my first sensei, Master Yoon, he said things like that.
26:15Respect the dojo?
26:16And I don't talk like that.
26:16I think it's a t-shirt now.
26:18I know.
26:18You have to make that.
26:19I love respect the dojo.
26:20Respect the dojo.
26:21Oh my gosh.
26:21And by the way it worked, he respected the dojo.
26:24Yeah, that's right.
26:24See, he learned.
26:25That's right.
26:26Good kid.
26:27Good kid, Malcolm.
26:29Your friends and neighbors, congratulations on Apple TV.
26:32Thank you so much.
26:33The first episode, Season 2, comes out tomorrow.
26:36It's already picked up for Season 3!
26:38Come on!
26:38Olivia Munn!
26:42That's how you do it.
26:43Yeah, thank you.
26:44You guys have great chemistry on the show.
26:46Great cast.
26:46Amanda Peet, Jon Hamm.
26:48And now James Marsden.
26:49And now James Marsden, by the way.
26:51Here's you and James Marsden, by the way.
26:53Yeah, that's us at our party the other night.
26:55Yeah!
26:55Yeah!
26:56Yeah.
26:56He's fantastic.
26:57Have you known James for a while?
26:59I...
26:59Okay, I actually have known James, but I've known him for so long.
27:03So, I was born in Oklahoma, but then raised in Tokyo.
27:07And then at the age of 16, we came back to Oklahoma.
27:10And I went to this high school where it was incredibly difficult to make friends.
27:14You know, because at that age, everyone already is friended up.
27:16Yeah.
27:17And I had a really difficult time, but there was one person who 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, it just made it more attainable.
27:31You know, this lofty goal.
27:33It was like, oh, if somebody else made it, maybe I could make it too.
27:36And it wasn't for like 13 or 15 years later where I've had some success and I'm in Hollywood
27:41and I'm at this party and I see him across the way and I'm like, oh my God, it's...
27:45I don't...
27:45He's...
27:46There's no way.
27:46He'll never remember, yeah.
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, in that full circle now, you're working together.
27:53It's a fantastic story.
27:57What's happening with season two?
27:59What's going on?
28:00How do we set up what's happening in season two?
28:01So, season two is, you know, James Marsden's character comes in like the Great Gatsby,
28:06like the Count of Monte Cristo.
28:07And my character is at like just the bottom.
28:11She is just out of prison and she has lost everything and 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 back into everyone's, you know, good graces.
28:23Yeah, perfect.
28:24It's great drama, but also little bits of sprinkles of comedy in there.
28:28And you're really great.
28:29I want to show a clip.
28:30Here's Olivia Munn in season two of Your Friends and Neighbors.
28:33Take a look.
28:33Damn.
28:35You made it.
28:35This looks great.
28:37How did you do all this so fast?
28:39How did I do all this?
28:40I have a team.
28:41Of course you do.
28:42Come on, let's get you a drink.
28:43Oh, thanks, but I just wanted to stop by and congratulate you.
28:46I'm not staying.
28:48What?
28:49What do you mean you're not staying?
28:50Of course you're staying.
28:51You're my only friend in Westmont Village.
28:52You can't leave me here with all these people.
28:53Come on.
28:54These people will love you, but I just don't have it in me to deal with all the withering mean
28:59girls' tears tonight.
29:02Oh, they don't love you.
29:05I've burned some bridges.
29:07Well, take it from someone who's elevated bridge burning to an art form.
29:12There's always another way across.
29:13Come on, Wondery.
29:14No.
29:15I'm gonna go.
29:16Are you sure?
29:17No.
29:17I'm gonna go.
29:19Ooh!
29:20Come on, now!
29:21Olivia Munn!
29:22Season 2 of Your Friends and Neighbors premieres tomorrow on Apple TV.
29:27We'll be right back, everybody!
29:28We'll be right back, everybody!
29:31My favorite cartoon.
29:33After marriage comes the honeymoon.
29:35While I say, meet you.
29:38True, yeah.
29:39From the roots, huh.
29:40And boom.
29:41Yeah.
29:41Our next guest is making his acting debut as Michael Jackson in the new movie, Michael,
29:48which premieres April 24th in theaters and IMAX.
29:52Please welcome Jafar Jackson!
30:02Jafar Jackson!
30:04That's right!
30:06That's right!
30:07That's Jafar Jackson!
30:09Welcome!
30:11Welcome, welcome, welcome!
30:15Jafar Jackson, welcome to The Tonight Show.
30:19Amazing.
30:20I love the energy.
30:21Thank you for coming on.
30:22I can't wait to talk about Michael and what a great performance you've done in this film.
30:28This is your first movie role.
30:30You're playing Michael Jackson.
30:33Okay?
30:33That's as big...
30:35That's as big as you could probably pick for any character to portray in a film.
30:41But also, this character that you're playing, Michael Jackson, the one that only happens to be your uncle.
30:48Yes.
30:49So, Jermaine Jackson is your dad?
30:52Yes.
30:52Jermaine is my father.
30:53I love Jermaine Jackson.
30:54You've got to give him my best.
30:56Oh, absolutely.
30:56I love him.
30:57Yeah.
30:59So, how did you... how did this happen?
31:02You found out they're making a biopic?
31:03Walk me through it.
31:04Yeah.
31:05So, I saw an article where it said that Graham King got the rights to tell Michael's story.
31:11Yeah.
31:11And I forgot where I saw it.
31:13It was online somewhere.
31:14Graham King has made Bohemian Rhapsody.
31:16Oh, he's made incredible films, but he made Bohemian Rhapsody.
31:19The Queen biopic.
31:20Yes.
31:20And my first thought was, who are they going to get to play Michael?
31:25And honestly, I didn't think of myself.
31:26I was like, this is going to be really interesting.
31:29Yeah.
31:30Because I didn't know.
31:32So, fast forward a couple of months, I get a call from Graham King.
31:35He wanted to have a Zoom.
31:38And I can tell just by that call what this was going to lead to in some way.
31:43And then one thing led to the other.
31:45We had lunch.
31:46And he's kind of looking at me.
31:47Like, he asked me, have you ever acted before?
31:49I said, never.
31:51I've never wanted to be an actor.
31:53And I initially told him, you know, I grew up wanting to play golf.
31:58I got into music.
32:00Okay.
32:01If he's making a golf movie, sure.
32:04It definitely wasn't anything Michael-related, but I grew up loving, obviously, watching
32:09Michael's videos and studying his moves and things like that.
32:11But fast forward to six months in, he got me a coach that I started to work on a lot
32:18of scenes from other films.
32:19And it was a multi-year process.
32:21It wasn't just a traditional audition.
32:23I definitely had to earn the role for a two-year process, really.
32:29Let me just show everybody, this is Michael Jackson in the thriller video.
32:33In 1983, this is Jafar as Michael during the thriller.
32:42And this was...
32:45You filmed this in the same location where Michael did the thriller video?
32:48Same exact location for two nights all through the night.
32:51And we actually had a full moon on one of those nights.
32:55It was just crazy.
32:56Dude, that's the kind of Michael Jackson magic.
32:58You had a full moon?
32:59We had a full moon, and it was cold.
33:01I know he shot during the summer, but just being at that location, seeing the zombies
33:07around me was...
33:09I was like, I mean, that's one of my favorite videos other than Smooth Criminal.
33:12But to be in the real location was incredible.
33:17It really was.
33:17You did such a fantastic job, and I want everyone to see a clip.
33:21But first, I want to let everyone know that our friends at IMAX are giving everyone in the audience
33:25two tickets to see Michael in IMAX.
33:27So that's...
33:30Yes!
33:32Come on, now!
33:35Thank you, Jafar.
33:37Here's the clip.
33:38Here's Jafar Jackson and Michael.
33:40Take a look.
33:41She says I'm the one
33:43But the kid is not my son
34:12Come on, now!
34:17Jafar Jackson, everybody!
34:20Michael hits theaters at IMAX April 24th.
34:24We'll be right back with more Tonight Show.
34:25Stick around.
34:27Well done, buddy.
34:28Yeah.
34:30One, two, one.
34:39Our next guest is headlining New York's radio city
34:43music hall, April 23rd and 30th.
34:46Making his Tonight Show debut.
34:48Please welcome the very funny, Modi!
34:58How are ya?
35:02It is so great to be here.
35:05I just finished the European leg of our tour,
35:08and it's just so good to be back in America.
35:15Oh, and to hear English, and to speak English,
35:18what a treat!
35:20Do you know how lucky we are that this is what we speak?
35:23There is zero effort in speaking English.
35:26I'm speaking to you right now in English.
35:28There's no effort!
35:30You breathe in, you breathe out,
35:32you put some words, and you're done!
35:34We were in countries where I...
35:37You can't imagine what they have to go through to communicate.
35:39We were in Holland.
35:41They speak Dutch.
35:42They have to engage their core,
35:45suck air in through their ears,
35:47and...
35:57They sound like someone speaking Yiddish and having a stroke.
36:03Paris.
36:04We were in France.
36:05Do you know how hard French is to speak?
36:07Even the French give up in the middle.
36:09I just think he's going to be very well,
36:11but I...
36:13I...
36:20I'm married.
36:21I'm married.
36:22I had just an anniversary just passed.
36:25Yes.
36:26Yes.
36:27Married anniversary to my husband.
36:29I have a husband.
36:31Yes.
36:32Yes.
36:33And whenever fans see us,
36:36they always come up to us and go,
36:37Hey, you're Modi,
36:39and you're his gay husband.
36:42And they say it as if I'm not gay.
36:45But I happen to have a gay husband.
36:48People have asked,
36:49Is Modi gay?
36:49I don't know.
36:50But his husband is.
36:52Yeah.
36:53I was told I don't give off a gay vibe.
36:57Yeah.
36:57Leo and I live in Manhattan,
36:58a big building with a million people
37:00and a lot of gossip.
37:02A lot of gossip.
37:03And the woman that's in charge of all the gossip
37:06lives on our floor.
37:09I'm not going to mention her name.
37:11Sharon Berkowitz.
37:13Yeah.
37:149F.
37:15Right when you make the turn.
37:17Two months ago,
37:18she corners me in the elevator and says,
37:20Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
37:22I don't know if you've heard,
37:24but the lawyer that bought the apartment above yours
37:27is a homosexual.
37:31I said, Sharon, you're kidding.
37:33I've been sleeping with him all this time.
37:35I had no idea he's a lawyer.
37:41Fans are very supportive
37:42and have lots of advice for us.
37:44Lots of advice.
37:45Yep.
37:46You guys are so cute.
37:47Oh, my God.
37:48You guys should...
37:50You guys should have a baby.
37:53We can't.
37:56Did you miss that class in junior high school?
37:59No, there's ways.
38:01There's ways.
38:01With a surrogate for only $220,000,
38:04you can try.
38:06It doesn't always work.
38:07It doesn't always take.
38:10Leo and I took $220,000
38:12and redid all the bathrooms in our Connecticut home.
38:16Yes.
38:17Yes.
38:19And they all work.
38:21Yes.
38:21They all took.
38:22They took seven weeks.
38:24But now we have the heated floors and the steam shower.
38:27Lots of joy we have from this.
38:29Yeah, yeah.
38:30Lots of advice they have for us.
38:32You guys should rescue a dog.
38:35We rescued a Porsche.
38:38Yeah.
38:39It was in a car lot of 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.
38:48Now 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.
39:0022 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 generational differences.
39:12For example, I wear a watch.
39:14I've worn a watch ever since I was 13 years old.
39:17Millennials don't wear watches.
39:19But this past summer, we're on the beach.
39:21I look over.
39:22I see Leo wearing a black watch.
39:25I said, Leo, what time is it?
39:27It doesn't tell you the time.
