00:07From Studio 6B and Rockefeller's center in the heart of New York City, it's the Tonight
00:13Show starring Jimmy Fallon.
00:17Tonight, join Jimmy and his guests, Viola Davis, Samuel Clefton-Glazius, and Joe Korn.
00:24Musical guests, Bleachers, and featuring the legendary Roots group.
00:29And now, here he is, Jimmy Fallon!
01:02That's what I'm talking about.
01:04Thank you very much. Enjoy yourself.
01:06Welcome, everybody. Welcome, welcome, welcome to The Tonight Show.
01:10You're here. Thank you for watching.
01:14What an absolutely beautiful day it was in New York City, don't you think?
01:19Oh, it's gorgeous today.
01:21Temperatures in the 70s.
01:22It was unbelievable. It was so nice, I took a pedicab to work.
01:25And this was exciting.
01:27The driver peddling it was a Kristi Noem.
01:29Oh.
01:29Yeah. I love a good celebrity sighting.
01:33Let's get to some news.
01:34Of course, the big story happens to be, continues to be, what's happening in the Middle East.
01:38And yesterday, President Trump said that the war in Iran will be a short-term excursion.
01:44A short-term excursion.
01:46It's the first war to be described like a day of apple picking.
01:50Just like when your mom says she's doing a super-quick target run and ends up stuck in the store
01:54for 30 years.
01:55It's like...
01:57Trump then said that we could call the war in Iran a tremendous success right now, or we can go
02:01further.
02:02Yep. We've apparently entered the just-for-funsies part of the attack.
02:06He also said that the U.S. is making major strides towards completing our military objective.
02:12Yeah. We're almost done with step one, figuring out our military objective.
02:17Trump added that we've already won in many ways, but we haven't won enough.
02:20He was like, the Supreme Leader is gone, but people are still talking about the Epstein files,
02:25so there's still more work to be done.
02:28Once they stop talking about that...
02:32Well, the war is in its second week, and still seems like President Trump has no plan to get out
02:36of it.
02:37In fact, Trump's even started using a special Iran plan generator
02:40to try to come up with ideas.
02:42Really?
02:42Yeah. For instance, when he asks, what do I do about the war in Iran, it tells him to...
02:49...figure out how to blame everything on Obama, Biden, and bad money.
02:53That's it. That's...
02:55See how it works?
02:56Yeah, he does it.
02:57Like, here's another one.
03:00It tells him to...
03:01...just admit you, bit off more than you can chew, like the CEO of McDonald's.
03:06I didn't know how to attack this thing.
03:10And finally, it tells him to...
03:14...threaten to...
03:15...make them...
03:16...touch your neck rash.
03:17Oh, that's...
03:18These are all excuses.
03:20You mix them up.
03:22Of course, due to the war in Iran, gas prices here in the U.S. are soaring.
03:26Yep, gas prices are spiking, and it's already pretty noticeable.
03:29I mean, this is Speedway's jingle before we got involved with Iran.
03:32We're on your way, the convenience stores of Speedway.
03:37Nice.
03:38Oh, nice.
03:39Now, here's the new jingle.
03:40We're on your way, but gas will now cost $80.
03:46I'm hearing they just actually changed it again.
03:48Really?
03:48They sent it to you?
03:49Check this out.
03:50We're on your way, you should siphon gas out of your lawnmower.
03:53See, they actually just released another jingle.
03:58Yeah, here.
03:58We're on your way when you stick in your credit card.
04:01We just don't give it back.
04:04I don't believe this, but they...
04:05Are you serious?
04:06They have one more jingle.
04:07Yeah, listen.
04:07Oh, my gosh.
04:08We're on your way at this point.
04:10You should just buy a horse.
04:12Oh!
04:13I'm getting word that there's the last one.
04:14There's the last one?
04:15There's the last one.
04:16Here it is.
04:16We're on your way.
04:18Gas prices are determined by complex geopolitical factors,
04:21but luckily we still offer great deals
04:23on hot dogs and boner pills.
04:25Oh!
04:29Whoo!
04:31If you go back to the old thing, it's better.
04:33Hot dogs and boner pills.
04:35Switching gears to some business news,
04:36I saw that Spirit Airlines is currently facing a pilot shortage.
04:40Ooh.
04:40Yeah.
04:41Today, they called an Uber to the airport,
04:42then asked the driver,
04:43How would you like to have the wildest day of your life?
04:46Cha-cha-cha-cha.
04:48Oh, bo.
04:49It's concerning that they keep saying anyone who volunteers
04:53to fly the plane drinks for free.
04:54I don't think they should say that.
04:56Spirit is even trying to hire back pilots that they fired.
05:00Oh.
05:00It's great for anyone who likes their pilots rusty
05:02and holding a grudge.
05:04I think that's fine.
05:05Some big sports news.
05:06Travis Kelce just announced that he's returning
05:08for a 14th season with the Kansas City Chiefs.
05:12Yep.
05:13Sure.
05:18Taylor Swift heard and was like,
05:19hey, you know I'm rich, right?
05:22I could buy Kansas City if you want me.
05:26Well, finally, guys, it's Tuesday.
05:27It is time for We Post. Here we go.
05:36Welcome to We Post.
05:37This is where we, as a group,
05:39decide something we should post on socials.
05:42I'm going to show you five different posts,
05:44and we're all going to vote on whether you like each one
05:46or not. You all have voting clickers at your seats?
05:48You see them there? Yeah? All right, perfect.
05:50Now, you can vote for all of these if you want.
05:51You can vote for none of them, whatever you want,
05:53and we're going to see the results live.
05:56Higgins, you have your clicker? Yeah.
05:57Good. Roots, you have your clickers?
05:59All right, I'm going to post which one gets the most likes
06:01from all of us because it's not a me post,
06:03it's a we post.
06:06Are you guys ready?
06:07Yeah! All right, the first post is,
06:09as spring approaches, I'd just like to politely remind everyone
06:12that natural deodorant doesn't work.
06:16Just so you know.
06:17Politely. Politely, yeah.
06:19You can purchase it if you want.
06:20It's cool to say that you have it.
06:22Before we put that in your card.
06:23You can try it, it just doesn't work.
06:24Yeah, here you go.
06:25Vote thumbs up, thumbs down.
06:27Whichever gets the most, we will post.
06:29All right, the votes are in.
06:30Let's see the results.
06:33Oh, not bad. Hey!
06:36All right, now the clickers work.
06:38Here we go. All right, that's good.
06:39That's going to be a tough one to top.
06:42All right, this next one says that when I'm on a flight,
06:44I usually watch two movies, the one I choose
06:47and the one the girl five rows ahead of me chooses.
06:52New Downton Abbey movie?
06:55All right, here we go.
06:57Vote up or down.
06:58Tariq, how are you feeling about this one?
07:00I mean, I feel like it's going to do well,
07:01but it's not going to beat that, you know, that.
07:03You don't think it's going to beat the first?
07:04No, not at all.
07:05I think that was a false start.
07:07What do you mean?
07:08That one didn't deserve 172 votes.
07:10What? No, that's not what he's saying.
07:12This one did. This one did.
07:13Oh, you're saying this one's going to get more votes.
07:14No, I don't think... I'm with Tariq.
07:17Tariq's saying that this one's better,
07:18but it's not going to beat the other one.
07:19He wouldn't say that.
07:20That would bring the audience down.
07:22We're here to make people laugh and have a good time.
07:25Wait, that's why we're here?
07:27Yes.
07:27Oh, my God. I am totally wrong.
07:28I got to...
07:29No problem, no problem, no problem.
07:31I think it's going to do pretty well.
07:33Let's see the results here.
07:36Oh, not bad.
07:36All right, all right, okay.
07:37Okay, all right. Still good.
07:38Still good. All right, let's go to the next one here.
07:40We've got time.
07:41Next one says,
07:42When I go to someone's house for a party,
07:44I'm great at pretending like I haven't already seen
07:46every single room on Zillow.
07:49Oh!
07:50Is this where you...
07:50Yeah.
07:51Is this where you...
07:52Oh, your guest room's in here?
07:54Oh, that's cool.
07:55Wow.
07:56There's a wine cellar behind this bookcase?
07:57Yeah, I didn't say wine.
07:58You said wine cellar.
07:59I didn't say it.
08:00I'm just assuming you have one.
08:01You do?
08:02Cool.
08:02I mean, I don't have to see it, but yeah.
08:04Wow, amazing.
08:05Wow.
08:050.758.
08:06Yeah, you don't have a man cave, do you?
08:08Oh, you do?
08:09All right.
08:10Here we go.
08:11I feel decent about this one.
08:12All right, let's see the results.
08:15All right, not bad.
08:18Not bad.
08:19We only have a couple more left, so...
08:20All right.
08:21If you haven't voted, go for it.
08:22Yeah.
08:24This is the time.
08:24All right, this next one is,
08:26museums should have a little plaque
08:27next to all the paintings
08:28that tell you what noise to make
08:30when you look at them.
08:32Ooh.
08:34Oh.
08:34Hmm.
08:35Ah.
08:37I get it.
08:37Yeah.
08:38I get it.
08:39Oh.
08:40Oh.
08:41All right, let's see the results.
08:42On this one, yeah?
08:44No!
08:45Oh, wow.
08:46Yeah.
08:47First one.
08:48First one's still in the lead by far.
08:51Lead by far.
08:51Yeah, 170 is what the first one?
08:53172, right?
08:53172, this has to beat 172.
08:56No matter what this one is,
08:57make this one beat the first one.
08:58No, no, hey.
09:00You can't do that.
09:01You guys can vote for whatever you like.
09:05Thumbs up.
09:06I do think this is the best one.
09:08Do you think this one's the best one?
09:09This one I'm about to read.
09:11Okay.
09:11I believe it.
09:12I think it's the best one, too.
09:14Oh.
09:16Wink!
09:16Everyone saw you wink.
09:17You said wink.
09:18All right, here we go.
09:19This last one is,
09:20nothing's guaranteed in life
09:21except that when you're folding a blanket
09:23with someone,
09:24there's at least one point
09:25where you think you might kiss.
09:30I love that one.
09:31Don't worry.
09:39I like that one.
09:41All right, let's see the results here.
09:44No!
09:45Thank you very much.

10:38I think that I'm that auntie at the party
10:41that's had one too many beers
10:43and just shows her ass too many times.
10:47Because that was that moment.
10:59Welcome back, everybody.

11:12Here we go.
11:21Welcome to Battle of the Instant Songwriters.
11:24Before the show, we went through our audience
11:25and picked out two people who said that they were musicians.
11:28We gave them each a made-up...
11:30We don't know.
11:31We gave them each a made-up song title
11:33and gave them an hour to write an original song
11:35based on that title.
11:36Here's a shot of them practicing backstage a minute ago.
11:40Let's see what they came up with and meet them right now.
11:42Come on over, everybody.

12:53The snow is melting and the air is clear.
12:58The past six months I have been living a lie.
13:03I've been sleeping later and I'm never on time.
13:07It's time to leave the boil when the hand drops from one, two, three.
13:17I've got to call a card because tonight I'll be losing sleep at least.
13:28The world is back into alignment again.
13:32I set the time on my microwave is bright again.
13:38Woo!
13:39I've read the manuals and pressed all the buttons.
13:44Don't even dare to get me started on the oven.
13:48The winter's over and the daylight's been saved up.
13:54I'm so glad that my microwaves behaved.
13:58I'm so glad that I no longer have to pretend because the time on my microwave is bright again.
14:34I'm so glad that my microwaves are on my microwave is bright again.

15:25Cause I'm scrolling on my FYP
15:31Harry Styles was in one direction
15:35But Mormon wives are swinging in both directions
15:40I guess my algorithm's messy tonight
15:44Showing stadium lights and Utah fights
15:50All the wives are on Instagram live
15:54The commenters are picking sites
16:00Dirty sodas and sparkling smiles

19:48It's like,

19:53I just, like,
19:54I know.
19:55You're overjoyed.
19:55I was,
19:56I think that I'm that
19:58auntie at the party
19:59that's had one too many beers
20:02and just shows her ass
20:03too many times.
20:05Because that was that moment.
20:07And I'm that parent
20:08at the soccer game.
20:10I'm that parent
20:11that the referee's like,
20:12hold up, hold up.
20:13Chill out.
20:14You need to calm down.
20:16No, you went for it.
20:17It was good.
20:18It was great.
20:19It was celebrating each other.
20:20Yeah, and I didn't rip my dress.
20:21Well, I did rip my dress open.
20:23I did.
20:23I did rip my dress open.
20:24You did?
20:25But it's all good.
20:26That's all fine.
20:29You can handle it.
20:30You've done it.
20:31Here I have a photo of you
20:32winning your Oscar.
20:34Look at this.
20:35That's what I'm talking about.
20:38You didn't rip your dress that night.
20:40No.
20:40No.
20:41What do you remember about that
20:43and how do you think of your Oscar now?
20:46Well, you know, I won an Oscar.
20:48Yeah.
20:49I mean, what do you think?
20:50But I mean, did you...
20:51But underneath that dress,
20:53this is what I think,
20:54because I see them every single time.
20:56I have on platform sneakers
20:59that were specially made for me
21:01that were probably seven inches high.
21:04Really?
21:04Yeah, that's what I remember
21:06about that moment.
21:08You're wearing sneakers there?
21:09I was wearing sneakers right there.
21:12And what I remember about that,
21:14because my Madame Tussauds picture
21:17Yes.
21:18is with that dress.
21:19You have your own wax figure.
21:21Yeah, so do you.
21:24I'm not in the cool section, though.
21:26I'm by the bathrooms.
21:28You know, once you get over the fact
21:29that it freaks you right the hell out.
21:32Did you freak out?
21:33I mean, they do a great job.
21:36Look at this.
21:36Here's you with your wax figure.
21:39But I mean, did you...
21:41And people kept saying,
21:42while you're looking at it,
21:43they keep saying,
21:44Miss Davis, Miss Davis,
21:45do you have words to say?
21:47Everyone thinks I have words to say.
21:48Can you have words to say?
21:50Do you have words to say?
21:51And I couldn't say anything.
21:52I was freaked right the hell out.
21:55Well, it's odd.
21:56It's odd looking at yourself
21:57and hanging out with yourself.
21:58And I saw my booty.
22:00They had the booty out there.
22:02I saw the ring I had on.
22:04I saw the little divot in my nose.
22:06I saw my eyelashes.
22:08It freaked me right the hell out.
22:10No, how about the eye...
22:11When they're doing the eyeballs?
22:12The eyeballs were freaky.
22:14No.
22:14I'm telling you.
22:15They opened up a suitcase
22:16for like 100 eyeballs.
22:18And you're like...
22:19I'm like, just pick an eyeball.
22:21Yeah, you're like, whatever.
22:22Yeah, I'm like, I've seen this on Dateline.
22:23Yeah, it frightened me.
22:24But it's amazing what a great job they do.
22:27You know what?
22:28I'm going to just say it.
22:29Go ahead.
22:30I'm going to be that auntie at the party
22:31with too many beers.
22:33Yeah.
22:34I think I have the best wax figure.
22:36Whoa!
22:38Come on now.
22:39What?
22:42All right.
22:42Listen.
22:43All right.
22:43Listen.
22:44No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
22:45No, no, no, no, no, no.
22:46Now, maybe Jeff Goldblum is a close second.
22:51But mine, y'all will see.
22:53You go to Madame Tussaud's special in L.A.,
22:56you're going to see I'm the best.
22:57Oh, my gosh.
22:59All right.
23:00That's good.
23:00Next time you come on, I'm going to show a list.
23:02I'm the best.
23:03I'm the best.
23:03I'm the best.
23:03Next time you're on, I'm going to show a list.
23:04Let's see.
23:05You're always doing something different.
23:07That's why I love talking to you
23:09and having you on the show.
23:10And this is another one.
23:12Congratulations on this book.
23:15Judgestone with James Patterson.
23:18Viola, what can't you do?
23:20No, there's a lot of things I can't do.
23:22No, no, no.
23:23Like, I'm a really crappy driver.
23:25I'm not a very good...
23:27No, no, no.
23:27I don't want to go down that list.
23:28We don't go down that rabbit hole.
23:30But I'm very proud of this book.
23:32Congratulations.
23:33You're getting great reviews on this.
23:35You put out a memoir.
23:36Went to number one.
23:37You've put out a children's book.
23:38You've won every award.
23:39You've won a Grammy, a Tony, an Emmy, an Oscar.
23:42You're Egon.
23:43Yes.
23:44Yes.
23:45You've done it all.
23:47You've done everything.
23:49How does this book come about?
23:51How do you get to collab with James Patterson?
23:53Your agent calls you and says,
23:55do you want to collaborate with James Patterson?
23:58That's really...
23:58And then you're thinking to yourself,
24:00are you kidding me?
24:01Yes.
24:01And then they told me the premise
24:04and I said, oh, I could do that.
24:06I could do that.
24:07And then all of a sudden,
24:08you're collaborating with James Patterson.
24:10You're giving him notes
24:11while you're driving the soccer practice.
24:13Really?
24:14Which, by the way,
24:15talking and giving notes
24:16while I'm driving
24:18is extremely dangerous.
24:19Yeah, yeah, yeah.
24:20Yeah, you're really not good
24:21at any of that stuff.
24:22Yeah, yeah.
24:22It's extremely dangerous.
24:23But it's just been...
24:25And it's good.
24:25I think it's a great book.
24:27That was crushing.
24:27He's getting great reviews.
24:29And my question, of course,
24:30is, is this going to be a movie
24:32or a series or something?
24:34Why do people always
24:36want to fast-track everything?
24:38I just can't...
24:39Because I kind of want to be there...
24:40Because you want the scoop.
24:41Yes.
24:41I want to be there
24:42before it becomes
24:43one of these things I said.
24:44Why?
24:45Because then maybe
24:45you put me on the poster
24:46or something.
24:49Jimmy Fallon called it.
24:50He said it.
24:51Do you act?
24:52No, no.
24:53I can't act in it.
24:54I can't...
24:54You want to be
24:55one of the lawyers?
24:56Yeah.
24:56You want me to ruin your movie?
25:00No, I think it would be
25:01a great limited series.
25:03You do?
25:03Yes, I do.
25:04And I think that I would be
25:06a good and a formidable Judge Stone.
25:08But I think that this book right here...
25:11That's the scoop I wanted.
25:12That's what I wanted.
25:12That's everything I wanted.
25:14You gave it to me.
25:15I love you.
25:16That's all I wanted right there.
25:17How do we describe
25:18what the story is to everybody?
25:21Well, the story is about
25:22a 13-year-old girl
25:23who gets raped,
25:24has an abortion,
25:25and her doctor
25:27gets brought up
25:28on murder charges
25:29and is facing
25:3099 years in prison
25:31and it becomes
25:32this huge courtroom scene
25:34in this small town
25:35in Alabama.
25:36Oof.
25:37That's some...
25:38That's a powerful...
25:40That's what I'm saying
25:41right there.
25:41That's got to be a series.
25:43That's a limited series
25:44right there.
25:44Yes.
25:45And, you know,
25:46and me and James,
25:47just like that, y'all.
25:48Yeah.
25:49Like that.
25:49Yeah.
25:50You crush it.
25:50Keep crushing it.
25:52It's a great book.
25:52Keep doing these things.
25:54I love you so much.
25:55Come back whenever you want.
25:56You're the best.
25:57Viola Davis, come on.
25:59Jumpstone is available now.
26:02More Tonight Show after the break.
26:04Thank you for the scoop.
26:05I got the scoop.

26:26in the world.
26:27They're performing together
26:28for one night only
26:30at SoFi Stadium in L.A.
26:32SoFi Stadium.

27:35That's amazing.
27:35Come on.
27:36That is fantastic.
27:37Oh, man.
27:38We got to make it special, Jimmy.
27:39So thank you.
27:41Yeah.
27:41Welcome both of you back to the show.
27:42Hold on.
27:43I spent a lot of money on my wardrobe, too.
27:44Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
27:46Right.
27:47Oh!
27:47Oh!
27:51All right.
27:53Let's see your chest tattoos.
27:54No, no, no, no, no.
27:56We got to keep the view.
27:57Yeah, we got to.
27:58I'm so happy you're here before this historic event.
28:01This is crazy what you guys are doing.
28:03Congratulations.
28:04It's crazy.
28:05March 21st.
28:07SoFi Stadium.
28:08Yeah.
28:09Sold out.
28:1070,000 people will be out this.
28:13No comic has ever performed for a crowd that big.
28:16It's the first time in L.A.
28:18So, SoFi.
28:19It's the first time.
28:21Super Bowls, you know, have been there.
28:24Wrestlemania was there.
28:25I went to go see Taylor Swift there.
28:27Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
28:28I saw Tay-Tay.
28:29Oh, yeah.
28:30She killed it.
28:30Yeah.
28:30What can fans expect out of the show, Gabriel?
28:33It is the biggest comedy show I think that's ever been put on.
28:36It's like, you know, it's Joe, it's myself.
28:39We're going to have a couple of surprise guests.
28:41It is going to be an event.
28:43It is not a comedy show.
28:44It's a comedy event.
28:45Oh, I love that.
28:47Comedy event.
28:48Are you, you've done appearances.
28:51And we excluded Netflix.
28:53Ha!
28:55They're not happy about that because they did want it to be something.
28:57Yeah.
28:58Part.
28:58So if you, yeah.
28:59Joe's like, don't burn my deal, dude.
29:01Don't burn my deal.
29:02Yeah, so if you're not, if you're not there, you won't see it.
29:05If you, that's what makes it special.
29:06Yeah.
29:07That's what makes it special.
29:08You have to be there in order to enjoy that event.
29:11I know you guys have made appearances on each other's shows.
29:13Whose idea was it to have a headline show?
29:15This one, this one, I, you know, I was doing the, the forum, like I, I did a bunch of
29:20sold out forums in LA and then like he does, you know, he does like the staples and he's doing
29:26all these other shows.
29:27So I would jump on his stage and then he would jump on my stage.
29:30Yeah.
29:30And then backstage at the forum, I just looked at him and go, we should like do something together.
29:35You know what I mean?
29:35Let's just do one show together and let's see how many we can do.
29:37I was thinking forum.
29:39Yeah.
29:39And he was like, yeah, like, so if I.
29:44That's a pretty good.
29:45He's like, like, so if I, I'm like, no, not like so if I, that's a, it's a stadium.
29:49Yeah.
29:50We're not, we're not playing football.
29:51Like we're doing standup.
29:52And he was like, Hey man, let's go big.
29:54He was like, yeah, let's bet on ourselves.
29:56And he, and then he looked at me, he goes, trust me.
29:59Wow.
29:59Yeah.
30:00He goes, trust me on this one.
30:01And I go, I don't want to trust you on this.
30:03I don't know.
30:04Again, it's too much.
30:05You always want to find out what your ceiling is.
30:08You know, it's like, we've been doing this for so many years, combined total.
30:11We got 60 years of comedy experience.
30:13I looked at his numbers, looked at my numbers, looked at the amount of shows, looked at the
30:17best market, and it just made all the sense.
30:20I'm like, this has to work.
30:21It has to work.
30:22And, uh, yeah.
30:24Did anyone inspire you on this?
30:25Who, who, who, who?
30:26Math.
30:27Yes.
30:28Math.
30:28I was thinking.
30:29This plus this plus this.
30:31Yeah, yeah.
30:31I was thinking.
30:32Right here.
30:33Yeah.
30:34I was thinking like when Chappelle.
30:36You guys in their prime.
30:37When Chappelle and Rock did a show.
30:40Oh, yeah.
30:41That was, that was a big deal.
30:42Yeah, it was beautiful.
30:43I did want to mention, by the way, you, you, you're going to announce another one night
30:46only.
30:47This time in London.
30:48Yes.
30:48At the O2 Arena.
30:50Yeah.
30:50O2 Arena, yeah.
30:51And tickets go on sale on Friday.
30:53Yes.
30:53That's massive.
30:54It's cool, yeah.
30:55It's fun doing this, man.
30:57Oh, let's not forget, like, Kevin Hart.
30:58Kevin Hart did Philly.
31:00You know, he did the stadium there.
31:01Of course.
31:01And then this one did Dodger Stadium.
31:03But Kevin Hart's show is what inspired me to want to attempt Dodger Stadium.
31:07I went there, I attended the taping of it, and I was row two, and I watched him, and
31:12I said, you know what, freaking Kevin, way to go.
31:14One day I'm going to do it.
31:15And it showed me, if Kevin can do it, there's no reason why I can't do it.
31:18Yeah.
31:18After this show, after this show, I promise you, after this show, other comics are going
31:24to see that, and they're going to start taking more chances, because there's no reason why,
31:28you know, comedy shouldn't be at the top right there.
31:31Yeah.
31:31That's it.
31:32We got two heavy hitters.
31:34The best.
31:35Yeah, Gabe just told me in the green room, he was like, hey, let's do LAX next.
31:38I'm like, what?
31:40Okay, exactly.
31:41Yeah, yeah, what do you do?
31:42You just do a whole country.
31:43Yeah, yeah, yeah.
31:44But how long have you guys known each other in this business?
31:47Over 20.
31:48We both had hair when we first met.
31:50We both had hair, and I look, yeah, it's just kind of like, that's what we're doing.
31:53Yeah, yeah, yeah.
31:55That's sexy.
31:58It's been like, what, 20?
31:59Over 20, maybe 25 years?
32:01Like 20 years?
32:02When I first met Joe, he was working at a bank.
32:04He had just had his son.
32:06That's what I remember.
32:07We were at the Laugh Factory in Hollywood.
32:09Yeah, and he used to come to the Laugh Factory, and he was already, like, selling out improvs,
32:14so he had, like, a lot of new money.
32:16Like, you know when someone has new money, they don't know what to do with it?
32:19And I just remember him pulling up in, like, two Hummers.
32:21Not one Hummer.
32:22Two Hummers.
32:23Like, he had his boy driving the other Hummer, and I was just like, wait, what?
32:27Wow.
32:27He's like, yeah, check it out.
32:28I got a PS4 in here.
32:29It's like, big screen TV in the backseat.
32:32It was just doing it right.
32:33Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
32:34I was so stupid.
32:35And seriously, guys, I didn't have anything growing up, so when I did start making money,
32:40I went full rapper.
32:41I did.
32:42I did.
32:43I had, yeah, I bought two Hummers, and they both had DirecTV in the Hummers.
32:47It was the first time I ever paid for cable.
32:50Ever.
32:51But also, besides this giant thing, which, again, congratulations on, you've done some
32:56other remarkable things, too.
32:58I know that, Joe, you had your handprints at the Chinese Theater.
33:02Oh, yeah.
33:04That was, yeah, that just happened.
33:07Joe Coy, what are you talking about?
33:09Did you freak out?
33:10Yeah, I freaked out.
33:11This is bigger than the dream, right?
33:12Yeah, this was crazy, because I remember going there and sticking my hand in Eddie Murphy's
33:16handprints and, you know, doing the whole thing, like, someday.
33:20Yeah.
33:20And then it was that day, and when I was doing the speech, it was crazy.
33:24And the people that came out and talked for me was sweet.
33:27It was like Tiffany Haddish, Gabe, was there, and Martin Lawrence was there, and it was cool.
33:32Legend.
33:33But Wange Morris from Boyz II Men was there.
33:34It was just amazing.
33:35And by the way, it was one of those things where I'm sitting in the crowd.
33:37I was there for his event, and I'm looking around, I'm like, I had no idea Joe knew so
33:41many people, like, in the business.
33:43I'm like, I'm talking to Babyface back then.
33:45I go, what are you doing here?
33:46He's like, I'm just here for my boy.
33:48I'm like, what do you mean?
33:49You know Babyface?
33:50When did you know?
33:51Yeah.
33:51And then I, you know.
33:51You're going to tell me you know Kenny Babyface.
33:54And then, Gabriel, here's you right here.
33:56The Hollywood Walk of Fame.
33:57Yeah.
33:57Come on, bud.
33:58That's right.
34:00Yo, come on.
34:02That's right.
34:02You got a star in the Walk of Fame.
34:04I know.
34:05I know.
34:05I got a star.
34:07I'm immortalized in front of a Buffalo Wild Wings.
34:11Wow.
34:12So touching.
34:13I want to say congratulations.
34:15It couldn't happen to two nicer and more legit dudes.
34:18This is awesome.
34:19Congratulations on selling out SoFi Stadium.
34:23Gabriel Fluffy Iglesias and Joe Coy, everybody.
34:27The one night only show is happening March 21st at SoFi Stadium in L.A.
34:33Let's go.
34:34More tonight, Joe, after the breaks.
34:36Stick around, everybody.
34:40Face for your face, eyes for your eyes.
34:43Don't think like ink has arrived or I do what?
34:46The name decides with all the eyes.
34:48It's a song.
34:52In the background, they compliment the way that I burn a sack.
34:58I love this band

35:02From their upcoming album
35:03Everyone for 10 minutes
35:05Give it up for Bleacher
35:36Well, look and catch their breath
35:38At a crime scene
35:39Was born and raised
35:42To keep dark findings
35:43In my mind
35:52Well, numbers blurring
35:53Streets are feeling different
35:55I'm losing track
35:57Of all of God's indifference
35:59Who gets by
36:06Well, walking with a ghost
36:08That thought was tearing me to shreds
36:10I had never known my name
36:12Until you spoke it from your chest
36:14Yes, the heavens opened up
36:16And called me in
36:17I stared and said
36:18Oh, yeah

36:22Forever
36:25Partly and just you
36:27And
