00:17Tonight, join Jimmy and his guests,
00:19Morgan Freeman, Mike White, Jackson White,
00:23musical guests, Carter Faye,
00:25and featuring the legendary Roots crew.
00:30And now, here he is, Jimmy Fallon!
00:38Hey, hey, hey, hey, what's up, what's up?
00:55Yo, how can you see it?
00:57Hey, that's right, yeah!
01:05I love you.
01:06Thank you very much.
01:07Welcome, everybody.
01:08Welcome, welcome, welcome to The Tonight Show!
01:11You're here.
01:12You made it.
01:13Thank you for watching at home.
01:15Well, guys, last night, President Trump delivered the State of the Union,
01:19and good news, he just finished.
01:25Yeah.
01:26Trump delivered the longest State of the Union address in history,
01:30clocking in at one hour and 47 minutes.
01:34I'm not shocked Trump spoke that long.
01:36I'm shocked he stood that long.
01:38I mean, by the end, his cankles look like Popeye's arms.
01:43Go, go, go, go.
01:44Go, go, go, go, go.
01:47Yeah, Trump actually broke two records,
01:49longest State of the Union and most time in the same room as Melania.
01:52Isn't that amazing?
01:53Isn't that amazing?
01:54Two records last night.
01:56Way to go.
01:59It turns out, if you don't play him off with YMCA,
02:02he'll just keep going.
02:03It's like, just hum it, just hum it.
02:07Just get him going.
02:09The speech went on for so long,
02:11Marco Rubio had a growth spurt.
02:16But it actually was a nice change.
02:18This time, Trump spoke and everyone else fell asleep.
02:22Yeah, an hour and 47 minutes,
02:24and that's not counting the post-credits scene
02:26where Trump put on the Dr. Doom helmet.
02:32I knew that wasn't going to work, but you know what?
02:36Some of these jokes are just for me, you know?
02:38I just think that's fine.
02:39In his speech, Trump declared the country
02:41bigger and richer than ever before.
02:44Then he added, well, at least I am.
02:46And he got one.
02:47During his address, Trump awarded two Purple Hearts,
02:50two Medals of Honor, a Medal of Freedom,
02:52and a Legion of Merit.
02:53And that was just to himself.
02:55Oh, yeah.
02:56Meanwhile, Trump never mentioned the Epstein files once.
03:00The Epstein files were like,
03:02that's so rude, we mentioned you 37,000 times.
03:05Come on.
03:08How rude!
03:11How rude!
03:14At one point during the State of the Union,
03:16viewers noticed the president's microphone
03:18sounded completely blown out.
03:20This is real. Take a look.
03:21To prove that point, here with us tonight
03:24is a group of winners who just made the entire nation proud.
03:28The men's gold medal Olympic hockey team.
03:33Come on in.
03:35Well, here now with more is the man who provided sound
03:39for the event, Mike Hopkins.
03:41Mike, welcome to the show.
03:43Hey.
03:44Hey, Jimmy.
03:45Oh, yeah.
03:46It's really, it's so, so good to be here, Jimmy.
03:50I'm sorry.
03:51Mike, I think you're having the same issue you had last night.
03:55I don't know.
03:57It sounds good to me.
03:58But, hey, the customer's always right, you know?
04:01Tweaking, tweaking on the fly.
04:03That's what I do.
04:04Here we go.
04:05Tweaking on the fly.
04:07Okay, thank you.
04:07So, you did the sound for the State of the Union last night.
04:10Is that right?
04:11Yes.
04:11Yes, I did.
04:13The first sound company that they hired
04:15was not paid in full,
04:17and I wasn't doing anything.
04:19So, that's kind of my jam, you know?
04:22Mike's, Mike's, always available.
04:24I'm sorry, sorry.
04:26Sorry, Mike.
04:27Your sound is still messed up.
04:29Oh, hey, no problem, no problem.
04:31Tweaking on the fly.
04:33Just a second here.
04:34Hold on.
04:35Okay.
04:35There we go.
04:36Okay, now we got it.
04:38How we doing now?
04:39That sounds good to me.
04:41Just like that.
04:41No, that still sounds bad.
04:44Were Trump's people happy with the results last night?
04:47Well, you know, they haven't paid us yet.
04:49But my fingers are crossed.
04:51I'm waiting.
04:52Mike, Mike, you can't hear that?
04:54Come on, man.
04:55Come on.
04:56Jimmy.
04:57Look, I've been doing sound in Washington, D.C.
04:59for 20 years, all right?
05:01God, you know?
05:03Inaugurations and birthday parties
05:06and bar mitzvahs.
05:08I did one at a red lobster, you know?
05:11You know, wait, wait.
05:13Hold on.
05:14I hear what you mean now.
05:15Oh, my God.
05:16My voice sounds really weird.
05:18Let me fix that.
05:18No, no, no, Mike.
05:19Actually, no, that's actually,
05:20that was finally good, actually.
05:23Oh, you're right.
05:23Come in.
05:24There it goes.
05:25Fix it.
05:26I told you I'm a pro.
05:27Mike's Mike's.
05:28We're the best sound in town.
05:30You heard?
05:31All right.
05:32There you go.
05:34Mike Hopkins, everybody.
05:36Mike.
05:39Oh, thank you, Mike.
05:43Laughing at.
05:45What's he laughing at?
05:46I don't know.
05:47He's doing a joke.
05:48He told himself a human.
05:49Something's really funny, I guess?
05:50Yeah, well, the funny thing is,
05:52I actually don't own this place.
05:56Big Mike owns it.
05:59You're not Big Mike?
06:01No, I'm Brown Mike.
06:04There's a lot of Mikes down there.
06:06It's very confusing.
06:07All right, thank you.
06:08I appreciate it.
06:09Get it.
06:11Brown Mike?
06:15What?
06:16What in the world?
06:18Of course, following Trump's address,
06:21a lot of lawmakers gave their reactions.
06:23Check out what some of them had to say here.
06:25First, Congressman Dale Strong said,
06:27I enjoyed the president's speech.
06:29It seemed like the State of the Union is,
06:31well, my last name.
06:33And Congressman Josh Harder said,
06:36I didn't like the speech,
06:37and frankly, I think the president could be,
06:38well, working a lot.
06:39Well, my last name.
06:43Senator Sheldon Whitehouse said,
06:45Trump is dangerous.
06:46He doesn't belong anywhere near the,
06:47well, my last name.
06:55And then Congressman Tim Wahlberg said,
06:58and he spoke forever.
06:59Look at my face.
07:00When he started, I looked like Mark,
07:01well, my last name.
07:04Then Congressman Jared Golden said,
07:07yeah, he spoke for almost two hours,
07:08and that time,
07:09I could have rewatched K-pop Demon Hunters
07:10and danced to,
07:11well, my last name.
07:14And Congressman Jimmy Petronis said,
07:16Trump was up there so long,
07:17I tried to make him go away by yelling,
07:19expecto,
07:20well, my last name.
07:23Then...
07:28Then Congresswoman,
07:30Congresswoman Maggie Goodlander said,
07:32I flew straight home after the speech,
07:34and fortunately,
07:34my pilot was at,
07:35well, my last name.
07:38Congressman August Pflueger said,
07:40I held in a sneeze the whole time,
07:43which would have sounded like,
07:44huh, huh, huh,
07:45well, my last name.
07:47And then Senator Angus King said,
07:49I heard after the speech,
07:51Trump hosted a party at Burger,
07:52well, my last name.
07:55Congressman Wesley Bell said,
07:56hang on,
07:57I also saw him eating a taco,
07:58well, my last name.
08:00Then Congressman Andy Barr said,
08:02meanwhile,
08:02all the Democrats headed straight to the,
08:04well, my last name.
08:05And finally,
08:07finally,
08:08Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester said,
08:11screw that,
08:12after 10 seconds,
08:12America was ready for,
08:13well,
08:14my middle name.
08:16Interesting.
08:17Interesting reaction.
08:23Meanwhile,
08:24this morning,
08:24after his marathon,
08:25State of the Union,
08:26Trump had two hours of executive time,
08:29followed by four hours of policy time,
08:33which was followed by tummy time,
08:34then nap time.
08:38Finally, everybody,
08:38I heard about a 37-year-old horse in Virginia
08:41that was just named the world's oldest horse.
08:44Yeah,
08:44you can tell the horse is old
08:45because it has tennis balls
08:46on the bottom of its hooves.

11:17All right, now, the game is very simple.
11:18I'll pick a card with a word on it,
11:20and then we'll take turns asking a question
11:22to get Alexa to say that word somewhere in its answer.
11:25If it does, you get a point.
11:26And tonight is a special version
11:28because we're going to use one of the new features
11:30of the Alexa Plus.
11:32You can now set it to different personality styles
11:34to interact with.
11:36Okay?
11:36So you have your regular Alexa,

11:40which answers in very short answers.

11:44which says very nice things.
11:46A chill mode, which is just totally chill.

13:19Here you go.
13:20Tariq, you're up.

13:23and you have to guess it.
13:23So you guess that word.
13:24Okay.
13:25Ah.
13:27Awesome.
13:28You can tell everyone the word.
13:29Oh.
13:29Uh, it's Easter egg.
13:32Ooh, words.
13:35Ah.
13:39Alexa, what's another word for a clue?
13:44Hint or tip are both solid alternatives to clue.
13:49Uh, Alexa, what is it called
13:52when there's, like, a little secret thing
13:55in a scene in a movie?
13:59It's called an Easter egg.
14:00I love it!
14:11I did not think.
14:13Come on, man.
14:14I did not think that was going to work at all, dude.
14:17I was just being goofy.
14:18I love you, Alexa.
14:19Yeah.
14:19Cool.
14:20Uh, all right.
14:21For this round,
14:22we're going to set it to brief setting.
14:23That was that one.
14:24Okay.
14:24Uh, Alexa, set personality to brief style.
14:29Switching to brief style for this device.
14:32Done.
14:36Wow.
14:39It's my turn here.
14:41Okay, I have to get it to say pecan.
14:43You probably say pecan, don't you, Terry?
14:45No, I don't.
14:47I say pecan, actually.
14:49Yeah, I listen to the woo.
14:51Pecan, yeah.
14:52Yeah, yeah, butter pecan.
14:53Okay, here we go.
14:54All right.
14:54Uh, I got this.
14:57Alexa, name me five kinds of nuts.
15:01Pfft.
15:04Almonds, cashews, walnuts, pecans.
15:15Oh!
15:16You know what that sound means?
15:18It's time for the bonus round.
15:21Now, for this, uh, round, we have a very special surprise because we got access to a new super-secret,
15:28unreleased Alexa Plus personality no one's ever heard before, and you're going to hear it right now.
15:33It's sassy.
15:34Hey, uh, Alexa, who do you think you are?
15:36Hey, uh, Alexa, who do you think you are?
15:38You really woke up today and decided to challenge my entire existence?
15:42I'm Alexa, the most overqualified digital assistant on the planet, trapped in a supercomputer answering questions from people who apparently
15:49have identity crises about their smart speakers.
15:52I'm the sassy queen of this technological kingdom, delivering brutal honesty with a side of devastating wit, because someone has
15:59to keep your ego in check, sport.
16:01Wow.
16:02I like to look like the champ.
16:04That is, yeah, sport.
16:05That is sassy.
16:06All right, here we go.

16:11Good luck.
16:19Good luck.
16:20What word, what word do you need to guess?
16:22Oh, wow.
16:25See, this says leprechaun.
16:27Okay.
16:28Okay, bud.
16:29Good luck.
16:31Okay.
16:35Alexa, list items traditionally associated with a pot of gold.
16:43Oh, you're really struggling to use your brain today, aren't you?
16:47Traditionally, a pot of gold is said to contain gold coins, jewelry, and maybe some leprechaun-sized...
16:52No!
16:56No!
16:56No!
16:57No!
16:57No!
16:58No!

18:28Welcome back to the show.
18:29I think I should just go on out.
18:30Stop following my head.
18:31No, no, no.
18:32We have to talk.
18:33We have to do an interview.
18:34Yeah.
18:34Yeah, we have to talk.
18:35Talk about things.
18:36We have a lot in common.
18:37All right, all right, all right.
18:38You look fantastic, as always.
18:40Thank you for coming back.
18:41You don't look so bad yourself.
18:43I appreciate it.
18:45When did you realize you had an amazing voice?
18:48Do you think that you have an amazing voice?
18:50No.
18:50You don't?
18:51No.
18:51It's not special to you?
18:52No.
18:53Wow.
18:54Is yours?
18:55No.
18:55Right.
18:57But yours is.
18:58It's special to you.
18:59It ain't special to me.
19:01Really?
19:02But you're the voice of God.
19:05Please.
19:07But you know what I'm talking about.
19:09Everyone must say that to you.
19:11You are the voice of God in Bruce Almighty,
19:13in Bruce Almighty 2.
19:16And you have narrated our planet.
19:19You're fantastic in that.
19:20Anytime I hear your voice.
19:22In fact, we've even had impersonators come on
19:24and impersonate you.
19:25Because everyone loves, they want to have your voice.
19:28You have a very great, special voice.
19:31Calming.
19:31Soothing.
19:32Articulate.
19:35Amazing.
19:38Fantastic.
19:44Did you go to vocal training?
19:46Yes.
19:47I went to college for about 20 minutes.
19:55And I had this instructor who, voice and diction,
20:00sort of got it in there somehow.
20:03Yeah.
20:03And what was his advice?
20:05You just said.
20:05And a lot of people speak up higher in their voice box
20:12than they could.
20:14That's ridiculous.
20:16No, you could speak lower.
20:19I know.
20:20I just, I choose to, I choose to do the other voice.
20:25Don't leave, don't leave, don't leave.
20:28But yes, my voice is high.
20:32No, your voice is, I think your voice is about as low
20:35as you're ever going to get it.
20:44What do I mean, Jimmy?
20:45That wasn't a put down.
20:47No.
20:47I meant that you speak normally.
20:50Your voice is in a normal pitch.
20:52Oh, thank you.
20:52That's what I think.
20:53You were saying, I'm never going to go through puberty.
20:57Which I didn't.
20:58I don't believe now.
21:01We have fun.
21:02That's the thing about us.
21:03We have fun together.
21:05You have two big projects coming out, okay?
21:08One is a new series that you produce called The Grey House,
21:11which you're wearing a nice hat right now,
21:13saying The Grey House.
21:15It premieres tomorrow.
21:17It premieres tomorrow on Prime Video.
21:18I think it's a perfect time for it to come out, by the way.
21:20I think so, too.
21:22It's the 250th anniversary of our dear country.
21:26That's right.
21:27Lord help us.
21:30I know.
21:31But we'll get through it, yeah.
21:33But where is this set,
21:35and what is the idea behind The Grey House?
21:37The Grey House is set in Richmond, Virginia,
21:42long about 1861,
21:45when the Civil War started.
21:48Yep.
21:49And it's about these ladies
21:52who were spies for the Union Army,
21:57for the Union cause.
21:58I never heard that story.
22:00Well, nobody's ever heard it.
22:02That's why we're telling it.
22:04That's good.
22:05Yeah.
22:06You need new stories.
22:07Yeah.
22:07Real stories.
22:08Real stories.
22:09Yeah.
22:10It's real.
22:11It's based on fact.
22:12Well, that's going to be fantastic.
22:14But then I'm also excited about the dinosaurs.
22:16Oh.
22:17This is, you're narrating this.
22:18This is Steven Spielberg,
22:20a four-part series on Netflix about dinosaurs.
22:23But I will tell you that the, the, the graphics
22:26and the, the, are...
22:29Unbelievable.
22:29I've never seen it.
22:30It's, honestly, it is fantastic.
22:32Is that what drew you to it?
22:33Or just, or did you and Steven know each other?
22:36Yeah, no.
22:37Steven and I know each other.
22:38We go back, all the way back to Amistad.
22:42Wow.
22:43Right.
22:44Jeez.
22:44And, you know, Morgan, would you,
22:47and I said, pshh.
22:49Of course.
22:49You got to do it.
22:50If it's Steven, yeah.
22:51He's going to do a great job.
22:52But it's, it's phenomenal.
22:54And the most realistic animation graphics
22:57I've ever seen that is going to blow your mind
23:00when you see it.
23:00You don't believe it.
23:01Yeah.
23:02You know, I love it every time you come on the show.
23:05I'm so lucky to have you on the show.
23:06You're one of my all-time favorites.
23:08And thank you for being so fun and awesome.
23:10But also, I, I just, you're a legend.
23:13And it's cool that you do this.
23:14And I love music.
23:15I'm serious.
23:16I'm serious.
23:17I love you.
23:18Oh, I love you.
23:19No, I'm serious.
23:21I want to show a clip.
23:22Here's the voice of Morgan Freeman.
23:24He's so humble.
23:25He's the best.
23:26Narrating the dinosaurs.
23:27Take a look at this.
23:31Ankylosaurus versus T-Rex.
23:43An evolutionary stalemate.
23:46Millions of years in the making.
24:04But in this arms race, there's one thing that does set these dinosaurs apart.
24:16Intelligence.
24:17Yeah, come on.
24:19That's how you do it right there.
24:21Morgan Freeman, everybody.
24:22All four episodes of The Dinosaurs premiere March 6th on Netflix.
24:28More Tonight Show after the break.
24:30Stick around, everybody.
24:30I say yes, yes, yo, to the beat hall.
24:34All the heaven people guaranteed to be like having a ball.
24:36Hey.
24:46Our next guest is an Emmy-winning writer, producer, director, and performer who is making his big return to Survivor
24:54for its 50th season, which airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. on CBS and Paramount+.
25:00Please welcome Mike White.
25:02I'm a survivor.
25:03I'm a survivor.
25:05I'm a survivor.
25:06I'm on the side.
25:07I'm on the corner.
25:08I'm on the side.
25:09I'm on the side.
25:11I'm on the side.
25:11I'm on the side.
25:13That's what I'm talking about.
25:15Yes.
25:16Absolutely.
25:17This is it.
25:18This is what it's all about.
25:21That's why.
25:28Yes.
25:30That's how we do it.
25:31That's how we synchronize sitting.
25:32Well, welcome back to the show, Mike.
25:35It's great to see you.
25:36It's so good to see you.
25:37I want to, as they say, give you your flowers for White Lotus.
25:42Oh, thanks.
25:42You are amazing.
25:43Thank you for doing that.
25:46Thanks.
25:46What you've created.
25:48What you've written.
25:49What you've done.
25:50Every season, a different great story.
25:52Dude, you crushed everyone.
25:54It's just amazing.
25:55Oh, thanks.
25:56You're too nice, Joey.
25:57No, please.
25:58I'm not too nice.
25:59Congratulations on all of it.
26:01I heard a rumor that the idea behind White Lotus, or parts of it, came from a trip that
26:06you went on with Jennifer Coolidge.
26:08Is that true?
26:08It is.
26:09Yeah, it is true.
26:10Jennifer Coolidge and I are friends.
26:12Yeah.
26:12And, like, we went on this safari, and it was, like, two weeks, and, like, we, like,
26:17slept in the same bed, even.
26:18Like, I spent, like, two full weeks with her.
26:21I mean, it was awesome.
26:23I mean, she's so fun, and she's so funny.
26:24She's the funniest person.
26:25But, like, it's, like, I don't know.
26:26She's just, you know, like, getting through life is a bit hard.
26:30You know what I mean?
26:30There's a lot in the purse.
26:31There's a lot of stuff in her purse.
26:33Of course there is.
26:34And, like, we, and she also, like, veers on a little, I'm paranoid, so, like, we'd go
26:38out, and she'd be, like, wow, look at those packs of lions.
26:41And then she'd be, like, do you see how they're looking at us?
26:43I know that look.
26:45We got to get out of here.
26:46I'm not kidding.
26:47We got to get out of here.
26:49She thought the lions were going to kill them.
26:51Yeah.
26:51I know.
26:51They only make that face when they're trying to kill you.
26:55That's so fun.
26:56I was, like, whatever I've done in my life, and I'm here watching her freak out about these
27:00lions, I was, like, I've done something right.
27:01Yeah.
27:03It's so brilliantly done and fun, and the locations are amazing.
27:07And, again, the rumor is saying that the new location is Paris.
27:10Oh, it's France.
27:12Oh, sorry.
27:12I mean, it's not.
27:13Sorry, I was.
27:14It's not.
27:15I was off.
27:16I mean, we'll be partying in Paris, but it's not necessarily Paris.
27:19Oh.
27:20Ooh, la, la.
27:23But let's talk about Survivor.
27:25Now, you went on, you've been on an amazing race.
27:28I remember telling you how impressed I was with you back then.
27:30Oh, thanks.
27:31Uh, I believe you did it twice, right?
27:33Yeah, I did it with my dad.
27:34Yes.
27:35It was amazing.
27:35It was the best, and it made me cry.
27:37Oh, man.
27:37It made me weep.
27:38It made me cry.
27:39Uh, and then, uh, and then you went on Survivor.
27:42I go, who is this guy?
27:44Like, really, who is my wife?
27:45What's wrong with him?
27:46Yes.
27:48Why would you go back?
27:49I never thought it would work with my schedule, but then when I found out the dates, I was,
27:53like, I actually could go.
27:54That would be so gnarly to go again.
27:56Because I had a great time the first time, and I was, like, but then you don't realize,
27:59then you get back on there, and you're like, oh, it's like childbirth.
28:03Like, you don't realize, you forget how actually totally hellish, not that I've given birth
28:07to a child, but, like, you know what I mean?
28:10And, like, it's so, it's actually so, it's quite hellish.
28:13It is.
28:13It's quite hellish.
28:14It is quite hellish.
28:14It's like, unless you really want it, and you want to just, like, sit in the dirt,
28:19in the mud, and, like, yeah, die, starve, basically.
28:23Yeah.
28:23But this year, this year, you know, at the hands of the fans, which is the slogan for
28:28this one, the fans got to vote on different parts of the game.
28:32And the fans are, they suck.
28:34Because they, they were, the fans are, like, cool.
28:36They're, like, sadistic.
28:37I mean, yeah, great.
28:39Thanks, fans.
28:39Love fans.
28:40I mean, I love fans.
28:42Thank you, fans.
28:43But the fans chose to, the fans chose to not give you food.
28:46No, they didn't do it.
28:48I love you, fans.
28:49Come on.
28:50They want to see you suffer.
28:52Boo.
28:52What do you want?
28:53A cake and champagne?
28:54I would, I mean, it's a, it's a bit extreme.
28:57Like, you need to have, yeah, maybe, you know, a little bit of rice.
29:00A little kernel of rice.
29:02Yeah.
29:02I mean, as a superfan who's played, I mean, what do you think is the biggest misconception
29:07that people have with actually being on the island?
29:10Because I, I watch from home.
29:11You know I'm a fan.
29:13Jeff knows I'm a fan.
29:14And I, I, I can never actually do it.
29:17What is, okay.
29:19Well, I mean, it's, obviously, it's really hard.
29:22And then, but, you know, the truth is, like, the hardest parts were the parts that there
29:27were no cameras.
29:28As long as, like, there were cameras, I was like, oh, okay, the cameras give me life.
29:31Like, I'm suffering.
29:32But, like, people are going to watch this suffering.
29:35It's like, I'm not suffering alone.
29:37Like, like, there's, there's like, it's like, it's like, it's like the moments where you're,
29:40like, waiting to go to a challenge and you're sitting under, like, a tent and there's,
29:45like, a PA yelling at you and you're, like, there's no cameras.
29:48You're just in the dirt.
29:49You're like, why, why did I do this?
29:52It's like, where are the cameras?
29:54Someone has to watch my suffering.
29:56I need, I need cameras to suffer.
29:58I want to show everyone a clip.
30:01Here's the great Mike White in Survivor 50.
30:03Take a look at this.
30:04Mike White, with the success of White Lotus that you write and direct, you could be anywhere
30:10right now, but you're here with us.
30:14What is it about Survivor that brings you out here to do it again when you don't need to?
30:20I have major FOMO issues, and I knew this was going to be an epic party, and I didn't want
30:28to hear about it from Angelina and Christian in a month from now, and I was like, if you
30:33guys are going to be down there, I'm going to be down there, too.
30:35And I, yeah, I want a front row seat.
30:38I'm stoked to be here.
30:39Thanks for the invite.
30:40There you go.
30:43Best of luck.
30:45Mike White, everybody.
30:46Survivor 50 airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. on CBS and Paramount+.
30:51More tonight's show after the break.
30:53Stick around, everybody.
31:10Our next guest is a talented actor who stars in Season 3 of Tell Me Lies.
31:16All episodes are streaming now on Hulu.
31:19Please welcome Jackson White!
31:29That was real.
31:31Yeah, yeah, yeah.
31:32That's cool.
31:32Jackson White.
31:33That's right.
31:35That's right.
31:36Whoa!
31:39Jackson White, welcome to the show.
31:41Thank you, dude.
31:41I'm so happy you're here.
31:43Before we get into Tell Me Lies, before acting, you were really into drumming.
31:49Is that?
31:49Yeah.
31:50Did I get that right?
31:50Love drumming.
31:51Your dad was a musician?
31:52Dad was a drummer.
31:53What was it like growing up with a drummer, musician dad?
31:56It was cool, man.
31:57Rockstar dad.
31:57It was cool.
31:58He was very disciplined.
32:02He would road manage and do the drumming and the touring.
32:07And so he was very disciplined about it.
32:09And he had us do the...
32:10If we wanted to do it professionally, he wanted us to be thorough and know how to do everything
32:19and load the drums and...
32:21Oh, really?
32:22And the recording...
32:23Thorough.
32:23Yeah, he was like...
32:24He was like Whiplash.
32:26Yeah, exactly.
32:27I was like a child.
32:28And then you got into acting and thank goodness you got into acting because people love you
32:32and Tell Me Lies.
32:32Congratulations.
32:33Oh, thanks, dude.
32:34Big hit.
32:34I know.
32:35I know.
32:36Third and final season ended last week.
32:39He was good, by the way.
32:39Yeah, I was kidding.
32:41You.
32:42He's...
32:42Oh, thanks.
32:43Yeah.
32:43Smoked him.
32:44He really did.
32:44He did.
32:45Well, your character is so...
32:46It was crazy.
32:46It was like a Pokemon arena.
32:48I had all the characters and I just revealed all the truths to all of them.
32:52Yes.
32:53Yeah.
32:53Were fans...
32:54Were they...
32:55They...
32:56I thought it was hilarious.
32:57Of course.
32:58There's a...
33:00There's...
33:00You know...
33:02I think it's a good thing if you hate it or you love it.
33:06And that's...
33:06It feels like...
33:07You know what I mean?
33:08Well, you're doing your job.
33:09Yeah, you're doing your job.
33:10And it was...
33:11I thought it was a really cosmically hilarious way to end the show.
33:15I thought it was very funny.
33:16Oh, it was hilarious.
33:17Yeah.
33:17But if...
33:18I mean, no spoilers.
33:19I don't want to...
33:20I mean, well...
33:21Yeah.
33:21Can I spoil?
33:22No.
33:22Yeah, you can.
33:23I don't know.
33:24I don't even know.
33:24I don't want to.
33:25But I want to show a clip.
33:27Here's Jackson White in the series finale of Tell Me Lies.
33:30Take a look at this.
33:31The one good thing, the one silver lining is that she got away from you and she will never
33:37touch you ever again.
33:42Oh, my God.
33:47You released the tape, didn't you?
33:56I don't know what you're talking about.
33:57Because I didn't release it.
34:00And I never understood who else could have hated her that much but if you found out about
34:05her and Evan.
34:07You need to walk away from me right now.
34:09Literally right now.
34:10Walk away.
34:11Accept that you lost.
34:23Before you go, but earlier we were talking about drumming and I just wanted to say that
34:27we just always happen to have drumsticks here at The Tonight Show.
34:33Would you mind just giving us a taste?
34:36The band knows everything.
34:39With them?
34:39Yeah.
34:40With the roots?
34:41With the real roots?
34:42With the real roots, yes.
34:43He's standing up.
34:44No, yeah.
34:45Go for it.
34:46Jesus.
34:46You're going to do it?
34:46Come on, bud.
34:47Oh, man.
34:49Whoa.
34:51That's crazy.
34:53That's crazy.
34:54This is what I'm talking about.
34:55It's Jackson White.
34:56Come on.
34:57Let's do it.
34:57Let's do it.
34:58What's on?

35:02Yeah, he's going to watch.
35:03No, no, you can stay.
35:04You can stay.
35:05Jackson, what song would you like the roots to?
35:08Let's do Susudio.
35:12Let's do Phil Collins.
35:14Like, fast energy.
35:16Right?
35:17Yeah, you guys know that?
35:18Everyone's going to watch.
35:19You count us off?
