00:00From Hollywood, it's Jimmy Kimmel Live!
00:04Tonight, Nick Kroll and Umi Masako with the Kletos!
00:11And now, Jimmy Kimmel Live!
00:32I'm Jimmy. I am the host of the show. Thanks for watching.
00:38Thank you for joining us here in beautiful Hollywood, California.
00:45You know, it's award season here. This is a very exciting time of the year
00:50when all the big awards get handed out for show business.
00:53The Oscars are next month. This month, we got the PGA Awards, the WGA,
00:57the BAFTAs, the SAGs, and of course, they're always coming up with new awards,
01:01not just here, but all over the place. For instance, President Trump today
01:04became the first and definitely only recipient
01:07of the Undisputed Champion of Coal Award. That's right.
01:12He received this handsome trophy from the Washington Coal Club,
01:16which is a real organization. I think you have to shoot a polar bear
01:20to get into it or something. President Donald Trump has been named
01:24the Undisputed Champion of Coal, and may our lungs be as black as his heart.
01:29Congratulations.
01:32And let's look like him.
01:35Yet another worthless statuette for Fat King Coal.
01:39If you're keeping track, this brings his real award total to zero now.
01:44He showed up to accept it. He was excited. All he wants is awards.
01:47All he wants is awards and for everything to be named after him.
01:51The Kennedy Center, Dulles Airport, Penn Station.
01:55I mean, if that's the way to keep him happy.
01:57I have another suggestion for something we could name after him,
02:00and it's big, and I think he'll like it because it's something
02:02everyone's talking about, something that he actually,
02:05unlike most everything else he wants named after him,
02:08deserves to be a part of. And I believe, I propose that we should think
02:13about adding his name to the Epstein files, or as they...
02:20With your cooperation and the cooperation of others,
02:25will heretofore be known as the Trump Epstein files.
02:30Have a nice ring to it.
02:32Why not put his name on the outside of the files, too?
02:36I mentioned last night that Congressman Jamie Raskin got to review
02:40the unredacted files. He found that the president's name,
02:43he searched it, appeared more than a million times.
02:46And that doesn't even include the three million pages
02:48they still haven't released, which obviously puts MAGA
02:51in a bit of a fix. Popping up a million times
02:54isn't a positive for the Pizzagate party.
02:57And so now they're grabbing at anything they can,
03:01including a document that says when the authorities
03:03were finally closing in on Jeffrey Epstein back in 2006,
03:07Trump called the Palm Beach police chief and said,
03:10Thank goodness you're stopping him. Everyone has known
03:13he's been doing this. That's right.
03:15And none of us said a word.
03:16And that's the evidence they want people to see right now.
03:20Trump also told the cops that Jelaine Maxwell was evil,
03:23which is interesting because his guy in the DOJ moved her
03:27to a country club prison. And fewer than five years ago,
03:30he himself said, I wish her well.
03:32But it's all just something to keep in mind
03:34when he mysteriously pardons her next month.
03:37Today, it was Attorney General Pam Bondi's turn
03:40in the hot seat. And this woman, she's something.
03:43This is the kind of woman who, if you live next door to her,
03:46you'd move. You wouldn't even argue with her.
03:48You wouldn't get in. You'd just relocate
03:50and never go back to the block.
03:52Pam Bondi, who famously said back in February of last year
03:55that she had Epstein's client list sitting on her desk,
03:58somehow that list disappeared because those names are now redacted.
04:02And this hearing has been on the books for weeks.
04:04But the stakes were especially high for Pam
04:06because there are reports that Trump was complaining about her
04:10for not doing enough to punish his enemies
04:12or administer his enemas.
04:14So Pam Bondi, with the Trump-Epstein files
04:18front and center now, had to butter that biscuit
04:21as bigly as she could.
04:23I find it interesting that she keeps going after President Trump,
04:26the greatest president in American history.
04:29They said it couldn't be done in four years,
04:31yet President Trump has done it in one year.
04:35The majority of the American people wanted Donald Trump
04:39because Donald Trump, the Dow, the Dow right now,
04:44is over, the Dow is over $50,000.
04:48I don't know why you're laughing.
04:49Have you apologized to President Trump?
04:52He is the most transparent president in the nation's history.
04:59That's right. That's right. He's...
05:03He's so transparent, you had to black out his name like 1,000 times.
05:07But Pam was so offended by the line of questioning,
05:11she got confused.
05:12I think she forgot what branch of government she serves.
05:14The Dow is over $50,000 right now.
05:19The S&P at almost $7,000.
05:22And the NASDAQ smashing records.
05:26Americans' 401Ks and retirement savings are booming.
05:30That's what we should be talking about.
05:32That's right.
05:33You're all so caught up with pedophilia,
05:35you're not even thinking about your IRAs.
05:38That, by the way, did nothing to dissuade the Democrats
05:41from hammering her, none more politely
05:43than North Carolina Congresswoman Deborah Ross.
05:46You know, instead of talking about Gerlaine Maxwell,
05:49who hopefully will die in prison,
05:51hopefully will die in prison,
05:52you should be talking about Irina Zarutska.
05:54I have a couple of other questions.
05:56Who died on a subway.
05:56Right, and I absolutely...
05:58You don't talk about that.
05:59I have been talking about it
06:01and actually helping with these issues.
06:03But we're gonna move back to you.
06:04I bet we are.
06:05Yes, of course, because you're here to testify.
06:08That's what the whole point of this endeavor is.
06:12So, of course, we're moving back to you.
06:13It is all about you.
06:16Did she think she was invited to a mixer?
06:19I don't know.
06:20It's like...
06:21It's like speaking to a teenage girl.
06:23She keeps talking like that.
06:24Epstein's gonna come back from the dead
06:25and ask for a massage.
06:28That went on for almost five hours.
06:30She's shouting like a crazed dance mom,
06:33berating Democrats for giving her chubby daughter
06:35a low score.
06:36You're the Attorney General of the United States.
06:38You're obsessed with Donald Trump.
06:39You have Trump derangement syndrome.
06:41I'm gonna answer the question.
06:43I answer my question.
06:44No.
06:44You don't tell me anything.
06:45Yeah, oh, I did tell you
06:46because we saw what you did in the Senate.
06:48You're a lawyer.
06:48Not even a lawyer.
06:49I'm talking.
06:50If they're not privileged...
06:51Quiet.
06:51Don't yell at me.
06:52I'll reclaim my time.
06:53This wasn't a trick question.
06:54You don't get to reclaim your time.
06:55Do you want me to answer
06:56or do you want to interrupt?
06:57Don't you ever accuse me of a crime.
06:59I believe you.
07:00The witness is interrupting.
07:01We're not going to get in the gutter with this woman.
07:02Stop the time.
07:03She's doing theatrics.
07:06This is so ridiculous.
07:08Shame.
07:08Shame on you.
07:09Shame on you.
07:11Shame on you.
07:12Shame on you.
07:12Oh, for goodness sakes.
07:14You're talking about public correction, didn't you?
07:16Whoa.
07:17This isn't a circus.
07:18This is a hearing.
07:19This is not a game, Secretary.
07:23I'm Attorney General.
07:24My apologies.
07:25I couldn't tell.
07:30Nick Burns was like a ballot.
07:33C-SPAN suddenly turned into C-SNAP.
07:36And it wasn't just Democrats she mud-wrestled.
07:39She got into it pretty good with Thomas Massey,
07:41the Republican co-sponsor of the bill that got the files released in the first place.
07:45It's a political joke and I need to give my answer on that.
07:49We'll let the Attorney General respond and then the gentleman can move to the next question.
07:52Chairman, it's my time.
07:53Within 40 minutes, you asked me a question.
07:55You can give me.
07:56Within 40 minutes, Wexner's name was added back.
07:59Within 40 minutes of me catching you red-handed.
08:02Red-handed.
08:03There was one redaction out of over 4700.
08:06He's listed as a co-conspirator.
08:08And we invited you in.
08:10Shout out to the media.
08:11This guy has Trump derangement syndrome.
08:13Yes, yes, yes.
08:14The ultra-conservative congressman from Kentucky who endorsed Donald Trump three times has
08:19Trump derangement syndrome.
08:20Trump himself, the man who tweeted the Obamas as monkeys the other day, solid as a rock.
08:25Everyone else is deranged.
08:27I mean, seriously.
08:28This is simple.
08:29There's nothing to defend here.
08:30This Department of Justice is hiding the names of people who are not victims.
08:34Why are they doing that?
08:35If they have nothing to hide, why are they hiding names?
08:38That's it.
08:39That's the only question anybody needs to ask.
08:44It's maddening.
08:46You know what it is?
08:47It's like the conversation you have with a five-year-old kid.
08:50What are you hiding?
08:51Nothing.
08:53Why are your hands behind your back?
08:55Is that a lollipop?
08:55You have a lollipop?
08:56No.
08:57We know you have a lollipop.
08:59Give us the lollipop.
09:00That's what this is.
09:01It is a brazen cover-up.
09:03You're saying even what you're looking at, that is supposed to be unredacted, is still
09:08redacted, right?
09:09Correct.
09:10Sometimes you remove the black redaction, and you see a white redaction.
09:14And sometimes you try to remove the black redaction, and it's all completely redacted,
09:19still.
09:20Even their redactions are racist.
09:23Without Thomas Massey, that guy, we might not ever have seen these files.
09:27Not too many Republicans are on board with this, but there are some cracks starting to
09:32form in the MAGA coalition.
09:34Trump himself never gets any of the blame for it.
09:37But today, even the reliably crazy Nancy Mace said she's lost all faith in the Justice
09:41Department.
09:42And Lauren Boebert from Colorado doesn't seem to be having it either.
09:45Do you support any clemency for Ghislaine Maxwell?
09:47I do not.
09:48Okay.
09:48I think Ghislaine Maxwell should get more time, and she should definitely be in a harsher prison
09:52than what she's in.
09:53It's absolutely disgusting.
09:54Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm late to give my boyfriend a squeezer at Beetlejuice.
09:59It would appear that Team Trump is losing support from the cherished MAGA Bratz doll collection.
10:08Do I believe that this administration is going to provide justice for anything in the Epstein
10:13files?
10:14No, absolutely not, because the president told me that his friends would get hurt.
10:18So I have that to go on, and that was the president's words directly to me.
10:22She's been hit on the head so many times, she's starting to make sense.
10:26Marjorie Taylor Greene, she is in a weird period right now.
10:30She's in the, um, after quitting Congress before being revealed as the masked singer period
10:36of her life.
10:37But most of them are standing by their man, and none more so than the always exasperated
10:42Greg Kelly of Newsmax.
10:44This whole thing with the Epstein files, President Trump is right.
10:48It is a hoax.
10:50If you say it emphatically enough, it becomes true.
10:54It is a hoax.
10:56If that's true, you do it, you have to hand it to the Democrats.
10:59They pulled off one hell of a hoax.
11:00They went all the way back to 2004, before he was a kid, before he was on The Apprentice
11:05to plant the seeds of a million mentions in what we now call the Trump Epstein files.
11:11And if you don't believe it's a hoax, well, perhaps you'll change that thought when you
11:18feast your eyes on this.
11:20New Brazilian just arrived.
11:22Sexy and cute.
11:23Nine-year-old, right?
11:26But have you ever copied and pasted something from an email and put it into your phone,
11:31or vice versa, and sometimes it gets all weird?
11:35That's what happened here, because the actual email reads as follows.
11:40New Brazilian just arrived.
11:42Sexy and cute.
11:42Nineteen years old.
11:43All right?
11:44It's a nineteen-year-old.
11:46I mean, nineteen's pretty young, but it is legal.
11:53Sure.
11:54Importing teenagers from other countries for sex?
11:56Nothing illegal about that.
11:58Come on.
11:59That's not even two crimes.
12:00It's only one.
12:01That's part of Greg's new nightly segment, Pedo or Typo, that I think you'll enjoy.
12:09And while our Justice Department here in the United States might not be looking into any
12:14of our elected officials who are named in this mess, in Europe, it's a very different
12:18story in Europe.
12:18Many government officials have resigned after their ties to Epstein have been revealed,
12:23including an ambassador from Norway, national security adviser from Slovakia, the former
12:29culture minister of France, the former British ambassador to the United States.
12:33British prime minister's chief of staff resigned for advising the prime minister to appoint that
12:39ambassador.
12:39Keir Starmer, the British prime minister himself, might be forced to resign.
12:43And Prince Andrew is now just a homeless guy named Andy as a result of the Trump Epstein
12:49fire.
12:50Which have even rocked the world of dinosaurs over there.
12:55DinoCon, which is the UK's biggest convention on prehistoric life, put out the following statement.
13:02And it has come to light that a select number of scientists, authors and researchers relevant
13:06to the field of paleontology allegedly engaged in correspondence with members of the Epstein
13:11organization.
13:12And they now have been banned from, I guess, the bone meetings or whatever they have.
13:18DinoCon is taking this more seriously than our government is.
13:22And the saddest part is, most of those dino nerds who now can't go to their conventions,
13:27virgins.
13:28Still virgins.
13:30And the Brits are also cracking down on pornography right now.
13:33Pornhub, the website, the guy sitting next to you pretending they don't know about right
13:38now.
13:39I see your faces.
13:40Pornhub has announced that they are blocking access for new users in England to protest
13:47mandatory age check laws.
13:48The UK now requires identification to use pornographic websites.
14:03Pornhub
14:04Whereas, as witnessed by Almighty God, the United Kingdom hath decreed that the entity known
14:11as Pornhub is no longer accepting new masturbators at this time, I repeat, by order of the King,
14:20Britons may not enjoy the pleasures of our lovely jubblies, rumpy pumpies, willy wolfers,
14:28and otter pockets.
14:30Please, collect your buzzy bollocks and Paddington pickle ticklers and wank it elsewhere forthwith.
14:46Another tough break for Prince Andrew.
14:48All right.
14:48We've got a fun show for you tonight from Sinners, the movie Sinners.
14:51William Masako is here with us tonight.
14:55Corry Long is here with us tonight.
14:57We'll be right back with Nick Croll.
15:17Yeah, yeah, yeah.
15:19Welcome back to McCoy tonight.
15:21She is an Oscar nominee who stars in the most nominated movie of all time from Sinners,
15:26William Masako is here with us tonight.
15:29Tomorrow night, our guests are Tyler Perry and Mae Martin will have music from Mariachi El
15:34Bronx.
15:35And sitting in with the Cletones tonight, Grammy-nominated guitar player.
15:38This is his album.
15:39It's called Lost in the Wonder.
15:41Cory Wong is with us tonight.
15:44Welcome, Cory.
15:45Thank you, Jimmy.
15:46Our first guest this evening is the voice of some of the most celebrated characters of our
15:51time, including Douche, Maury the Hormone Monster, and Professor Poopypants.
15:56Next, he lends his voice to the animated basketball movie, Goat.
16:00It opens the theaters Friday.
16:02Please welcome Nick Croll.
16:21How are you?
16:22I'm good.
16:22How are you?
16:23I'm good.
16:23I'm good.
16:23I assumed you'd be at the Winter Olympics.
16:25I know you were big on that.
16:27Yeah.
16:28Didn't you shave the athletes last time or something?
16:30I shot a movie at the Winter Olympics.
16:33Oh, that's what it was.
16:33Yes.
16:34But in my free time, I shaved down all of the athletes.
16:38But only the Americans, I hope.
16:40Out of respect, out of patriotism.
16:42That's right.
16:43You know?
16:43I'm just trying to shave time off.
16:45You know what I mean?
16:46I want our boys and girls to win.
16:48I remember four years ago, you were talking about you shot a movie in the Olympic Village,
16:55right?
16:55In PyeongChang in South Korea.
16:57Yeah.
16:57We shot it inside of the Olympic Village.
17:00We got to see all of these people in their real lives.
17:03And the incredible tragedy or incredible victory.
17:07The condom tray was always empty in the bathroom.
17:10But this time, there's this one guy who I've really locked in.
17:14He's the guy who I'm following in this Winter Olympics.
17:17Oh.
17:17It's the guy.
17:18He's like a Norwegian cross-country skier.
17:20Oh, yeah.
17:21Oh, yes.
17:21Did he win the bronze medal and then admitted?
17:23You must explain this.
17:24Because, yeah, I actually, we're trying to get the rights to this clip.
17:29I think I might make a film out of it.
17:30It's so exciting.
17:31Well, if you want.
17:32I mean, I'll do my best version of the clip with you.
17:37Oh, great.
17:37OK.
17:38This is in.
17:40I think you should set it up if you could, yeah.
17:42So, basically, this guy wins the bronze medal in, like, cross-country.
17:48And he's getting interviewed afterwards.
17:50He's Norwegian, I believe.
17:52Yes, that's correct.
17:53And, um, and he is like, it's actually been, like, the toughest week of my whole life.
17:59Yeah, this woman, this interviewer, she's like, how do you feel after coming in, right?
18:03Yeah.
18:03It's like, it's actually been a very tough week because even though I was able to get the bronze
18:07medal for the one-half-kilometer, two-half-kilometer race, I must admit that I have cheated on
18:14my love of my life and she has been betrayed by me many months ago and now I can barely
18:22eat
18:23my big four-five sausages and I can barely even consume a whole bowl of heavy cream in
18:31celebration of my greatest third-place victory.
18:37You know, it seems like you're doing a bit and you are doing a bit, but that's kind of
18:41exactly what happened.
18:42This guy had a full-on confession-slash-breakdown on the air.
18:46And then, I was, I think I read that, and I may have made this up, but it's tough to
18:51know what's reality.
18:52Who even cares what's true anymore?
18:54AI.
18:54Come on.
18:55So, but he literally, he then went back out and was like, maybe I should not have
19:00spoken about my affair for the whole world to hear all at once and so I now would like
19:06to take back.
19:08I'm dying to know how the woman he cheated on reacted to that.
19:13Like, did she see this as a great sacrifice that she made?
19:15He's being made fun of all over the world now.
19:18I mean...
19:18Or she's like, oh God, I'm glad I got rid of that douche.
19:21I would guess, I mean, that's the thing is that, and if it's okay to use this airtime,
19:25I'd like to start a GoFundMe to raise money for you guys to buy the rights to that clip.
19:31Oh, yeah.
19:31Okay.
19:31So that...
19:35So that you could play him.
19:36So that I can play him in the movie.
19:38And here, and the chyron's right there.
19:41So, uh...
19:42No, it's not actually, Nick.
19:43There's no chyron there at all.
19:45Yeah.
19:45How did I get from the Jimmy Kimmel program?
19:48I fully, fully morphed into this guy.
19:50We're going to try to track that guy down.
19:51And if we do, if we're able to get him, and I'd love to get him and his ex-girlfriend
19:55together.
19:56Oh my God.
19:56I'd like to have you with me.
19:58Dude, like, make Maury look like a joke.
20:00Oh, yeah.
20:05You, um...
20:05Uh, last time you were here, as I recall, I was not here.
20:09Jiminy Glick was hosting the show that night.
20:11Yes.
20:11And that was a big deal for you, right?
20:13Yes.
20:14I...
20:14I mean, every time I come on a talk show, every time I come on your show,
20:17I-I can't believe, genuinely, that this is what I get to do, and it's so exciting.
20:21But when I got to, like, sit down here with Jiminy Glick, who is, like, like, to me the funniest,
20:27just the most delightful character that I've ever seen, to be able to be interacting with him was like a
20:33dream come true.
20:34We have a little clip of that, yes.
20:40There you go.
20:42Three's the charm.
20:46Oh my God.
20:48There you go.
20:49Are you still having that big feud with Suge Knight?
20:52Mm-hmm.
20:56Uh...
20:57I mean, you know, there's that, it's like, there's that moment in your life...
21:02Uh-huh.
21:03...where you're getting absolutely deep-throated by Jiminy Glick, and you-you start to genuinely choke.
21:11But you're like, this will pass at some point.
21:14Uh-oh.
21:15But right now, I might die at the hands of Marty Schultz.
21:18Yeah, yeah, well, what better way to go, huh?
21:20I couldn't agree more.
21:21Valentine's Day is this weekend.
21:22I hope I'm not just letting you know about that right now.
21:25Whoa, so it's, whoa, it's March 13th.
21:27Oh, okay.
21:28No, no, no, it's February, yeah.
21:29Oh, okay, even, okay, even bigger.
21:31Yeah.
21:31Are you, um, are you a romantic guy?
21:34Do you, uh, do things for your wife for Valentine's Day?
21:38I try to.
21:39It-it was much easier to be romantic.
21:41Like, we have two kids under five, which I would not say is the most romantic time in a marriage.
21:47No.
21:47Uh, would you guys agree with that?
21:49Yeah.
21:50So, um...
21:51It kind of becomes, Valentine's Day becomes a kid's holiday in a weird way.
21:55Yes.
21:56Right.
21:56Yeah, exactly.
21:57Which makes sense, I guess.
21:58Yeah, I mean, and that's how Epstein treated it.
22:00Yeah.
22:02So...
22:11I don't know if they're gonna let you do that movie now.
22:13I know.
22:15Um, but it does, it is an interesting thing, because that's how, what's happened in my house,
22:19it used to be like, you know, like, hey, all right, this is like a, you know, one of the
22:22rare,
22:23like, it's usually weeknights that you're guaranteed to-
22:25Yeah, totally.
22:25That something's gonna happen.
22:27Yeah.
22:27And now you're like, you know, like, filling out Spider-Man cards with the name Tyler on
22:33them and stuff, you know?
22:34Yeah.
22:34That's, that's how it feels.
22:36Like, and, and so, but we're gonna, we'll, we'll try to do some, we're, actually, what
22:40we're honestly gonna do, if I'm being honest, Jimmy.
22:42Go ahead.
22:43Is, uh, I think we're gonna literally reschedule Valentine's for a date that works better for
22:49us.
22:50Oh, really?
22:50Yeah.
22:51I don't think you can do that.
22:52It's a, it's a holiday, uh, it's actually a religious holiday, and I don't think that
22:56would-
22:56It's very, yeah.
22:56I think that would be frowned on by the Lord.
22:58Yeah, the great, the great Lord Hallmark will come down.
23:04How old are the kids now?
23:05You said they're both under five.
23:07Yeah, like, yeah, my, my son just turned five and I have a two-year-old.
23:09Okay, all right.
23:11Yeah.
23:11What are they into now?
23:12Uh, my son's into, uh, bad guys and villainy.
23:18Oh.
23:18Oh.
23:19He's mainly interested in villainy and villains and bad guys.
23:23Really?
23:24Yeah.
23:24I think, is that disturbing to you at all?
23:26No, it's kind of like, he just likes, they like, look cool.
23:29Like, he likes that movie Bad Guys, that's like the animated movie, because they all wear
23:33suits and so he likes now, he wants to wear suits and like, we were on vacation and he wore,
23:39he wore a three-piece tuxedo on the beach.
23:41Really?
23:42Yeah, it's cool.
23:42Like, it's very cool.
23:43He looks very serious.
23:45It's like a romantic comedy or something.
23:47Yeah, yeah.
23:47He wears a suit to the beach, that's big.
23:50Yeah, yeah, yeah.
23:50Yeah, so.
23:50That's like the 50s, you know?
23:51People didn't have anything other than a suit, so they'd wear their suit to the beach.
23:55You roll up your, you roll up your little pants to get wet wool pants that you had to wear
24:00on a subway through Canarsie later that day.
24:04So he's, uh, okay, he's wearing suits, he likes bad guys.
24:08Yeah.
24:09So we had a birthday party for, we just had a birthday party for him and it was like, we
24:12did like a bad guys theme party.
24:15Okay.
24:16At like a little play zone thing and, um.
24:18Now, bad guys theme, like, are you talking about, again, like Epstein or were you talking about the movie Bad
24:23Guys?
24:24Yeah, like, there was some Epsteins there, there was all little kids, they were all dressed as Epsteins and Pambandis.
24:30Uh, there was this adorable little Elon Musk that he, it was really.
24:35Little Tesla?
24:36Yeah, a tiny little Tesla running through.
24:39Um, so we had, no, but we all dressed up in bad guys, like, because my little girl looked like,
24:44like, is the size of the piranha in bad guys.
24:47So we put her in a little tux.
24:48Cute.
24:48I didn't, my son wanted me in a suit and a jacket.
24:50I didn't have a tie, so I wore my daughter's two-year-old, like, bow tie for a two-year
24:56-old.
24:56Uh-huh.
24:57So it was just this tiny little, tiny little bow tie.
24:59Always funny?
25:00Like a, like the smallest miniature member of the nation of Islam.
25:05Did your parents throw you theme parties for your birthday?
25:09Uh, I did, I had a bar mitzvah.
25:12I don't know if, uh, I don't know if that was clear whether I was Jewish, but, um.
25:19Guillermo gave me the signal when you came out.
25:21Yeah, yeah, yeah.
25:22Yeah.
25:23Oye, ¿tienes frÃo?
25:25¿Ya está alto o no?
25:25No, no, está bien.
25:26OK, muy bien.
25:27Bueno, bueno.
25:28So I, uh, I had a world-themed bar mitzvah.
25:32What?
25:33I had a, if, let me tell you this, to my patriots out there, it would be an American-themed
25:39bar mitzvah now.
25:40I'll tell you that much.
25:41Yeah, yeah.
25:41Uh, not a Puerto Rico bar mitzvah.
25:45That is the thing.
25:46For a bar mitzvah, you will have a theme.
25:48Yeah.
25:48Uh, most of the time, not always.
25:50Yeah, so did you, you, you were a, a DJ?
25:53Did you ever DJ?
25:54I did.
25:54I did many bar mitzvahs.
25:55Really?
25:56Yes, I was a DJ in Phoenix.
25:58OK, not many bar mitzvahs, but I did as many as they were in Phoenix.
26:02Sure, yes.
26:02And, um, I, yeah, I would, I remember one kid's theme was, uh, the best theme I remember was sports.
26:10Yeah.
26:10It was very generic, like yours, in a way.
26:13Yeah, it was just the world.
26:14And I had, like, globes around and stuff like that.
26:17Sports is a much more normal.
26:19It was, it seemed weird to me.
26:21It seemed like when, um, you know like when little kids will wear just a shirt that says baseball?
26:26Sure, yes.
26:27And you're like, can't you be more specific?
26:28Yeah, and the kid's like, this is the only thing costumes could get cleared.
26:31Yeah, yeah, yeah.
26:33All right.
26:34It's a little industry and stuff like that.
26:36All right.
26:40You've got your son's birthday party.
26:41Really?
26:42This year.
26:42It is your movie.
26:43It's called Goat.
26:44We'll have a look at that with Nick Kroll when we come back.
26:47Oh, shit!
26:50Whatever the heck Modo is.
26:52Modo is I come.
26:54All right, Care Bear, bets are in.
26:56What you got?
27:05I fold.
27:06I fold.
27:08Uno reverse.
27:14That is Nick Kroll in Goat.
27:16The Coaching Team is Friday.
27:17And I mentioned I already got two big thumbs up
27:21from Billy Kimmel, who loved why we watched it this weekend.
27:24That's awesome.
27:24You play the Komodo dragon.
27:26Yes.
27:26And how do you, I know you do a lot of these characters,
27:29sometimes they're animals or whatever, sometimes they're...
27:31How do you come up with a specific voice for the character?
27:35You know, Modo is named Modo Olichenko.
27:39So he's like, one part, like, Russian oligarch,
27:41one part Komodo dragon, and one part Dennis Rodman
27:44was the breakdown I got.
27:46Like, he's the wild card on the team.
27:48So I was like, okay.
27:50So I started probably with, like, Olichenko,
27:52so you're like, it's sort of Slavic.
27:54He's sort of, this would sound like Slavic,
27:57this thing, Russian thing.
27:59But then he's a dragon, so it's got, like,
28:03it becomes like this kind of thing.
28:06And then he's sort of...
28:08That kind of thing.
28:10And then Rodman?
28:12And then Rodman's just a vibe.
28:14Rodman is how I recorded the movie, like,
28:18in a drunk tank in Vegas somewhere.
28:20Yeah, yeah, yeah, got you.
28:21He's a good friend of yours, right?
28:22Dennis and I are close.
28:23When he and Carmen Electra ended up together,
28:26that was a complicated time in our friendship.
28:28Was it?
28:30How's he doing?
28:31He's actually great.
28:33He and Kim Jong-un and I have been spending...
28:36We actually do Valentine's Day together,
28:39the three of us, every year.
28:41What are you guys doing this year?
28:42What's the plan?
28:43Yeah, we're launching nuclear weapons
28:45into the Indian Ocean.
28:47Oh, okay.
28:48Yeah, it should be fun.
28:49And maybe shoot some hoops and go to, you know,
28:52Bubba Gump's or something like that.
28:54Will your kids recognize your voice
28:56when they hear the character?
28:58Oh, yes, the model is slick.
29:00I think they'll recognize it,
29:02because that's...
29:03He, my son does make me talk as my characters,
29:06but really a lot of other characters to him.
29:09When you're reading or just talking?
29:10In general, he'd rather talk to one of my characters.
29:12Than you.
29:14I get it.
29:15Have they seen the film yet?
29:16No, I'm taking him and some friends on Saturday.
29:20We're going to go see it,
29:21and that's what my Valentine's Day is.
29:24The most romantic thing I could offer my wife
29:27was to take, like, 20 screaming children
29:30to a movie in the middle of the day,
29:33just passing new strains of the flu around.
29:37Will you then have to do that thing
29:39where you explain to the children
29:40that you're one of the voices of the movie
29:42and they don't understand or care?
29:44Yes, yeah.
29:45That'll be that true day's look
29:48of confusion and indifference
29:51is, like, what really excites me most about this.
29:54And even better when the parent tries to go, like,
29:56like, oh, he's in the thing.
29:58No, he was on that one thing we liked.
30:01Do you remember that one thing he did?
30:04Remember when you were on The League?
30:06That was cool.
30:09Steph Curry is one of the executive producers.
30:11Did he do any work on this?
30:12Was he really working as executive producer?
30:15Yeah, he worked on it.
30:16But he, like, I mean, in that he, like, had to humor me
30:18by, like, meeting me and my family.
30:21Oh, I see.
30:21And he did that, and he was incredibly nice.
30:24Like, you know Steph.
30:25He's very nice, yeah.
30:26Steph is, like, Steph is really a very nice, kind guy.
30:30He tried to be, I brought my son to meet him,
30:33and he tried to talk to my kids,
30:35and they had zero interest in talking to him.
30:37Oh, really?
30:38Yeah, they didn't know who he was yet.
30:40Oh.
30:40And I was like, but Steph Curry should, like,
30:42one day, like, run for president.
30:44I feel like he would be...
30:46Well, you know what?
30:47Maybe, I don't know if we're ready for a president's staff,
30:50but if we could change the name, yeah,
30:52I think we could do it.
30:53Right?
30:53If he goes by Stephen, I think he'd be all right.
30:55Yes.
30:55Yeah.
30:56Well, let's keep our fingers crossed for Stephen Miller, right?
30:59I'm hoping...
31:00Another good friend of yours, right?
31:02A dear friend.
31:02Me, Stephen Miller, Dennis Rodman, and Kim Jong-un
31:06are going, we're actually going back to Epstein Island.
31:10Oh, really?
31:10But it's not even Epstein Island anymore, right?
31:13It's just an island now.
31:14I know.
31:16It's so fun to figure out what moment,
31:19like, when I'm driving, leaving here,
31:21I lost the audience talking about bad guys.
31:26What do you guys think?
31:28Um, I think it was just about 80 seconds ago.
31:31Yeah, yeah.
31:32But I think they're back now.
31:34They're back, baby.
31:35Yeah.
31:37And now they're patronizing us.
31:39Well, thank you.
31:40Well, it's great to see you.
31:41The kids are going to love it.
31:42It's called Goat.
31:43It opens in theaters on Friday.
31:45Nick Kroll, everybody.
31:46We'll be back with Willy Nassafu.
31:59We'll be back.
32:01We'll be back.
32:04We'll be back.
32:05We'll be back.
32:07We'll be back.
32:36Just step aside and let me hold in now.
32:39Why you need him to do that?
32:43You big and strong enough to push past us?
32:46Well, that wouldn't be too polite now,
32:48would it, Miss Annie?
32:50I don't know why I'm talking to you anyway.
32:53Don't talk to him.
32:54You're talking to me right now.
32:55Why you can't just walk your big ass up in here without an invite, huh?
33:00Go ahead.
33:01Admit to it.
33:03Admit to what?
33:05That you're dead.
33:07Sinners is in select theaters now.
33:09Please welcome Willy Nassafu.
33:27How are you doing?
33:28How are you doing?
33:28You look fantastic.
33:29Oh, thank you.
33:30And congratulations on two things, really.
33:34The Oscar, of course, big deal.
33:39But also, you're with child, I understand.
33:42I am with child.
33:43I am with child.
33:43I am with child.
33:44I am with child.
33:45Yeah.
33:46Which, if you win, feels like you should get two Oscars, right?
33:49Right, right.
33:50I feel like you should get an Oscar for just doing the award season.
33:55Oh, yeah, right.
33:55It's exhausting.
33:56Oh, yeah, right.
33:57Oh, yeah, you have to go through being pregnant and doing all of this stuff.
34:02Yeah, my publicist is like running a marathon in heels.
34:05Yeah.
34:06And I concur.
34:08Is your publicist male or female?
34:10Female.
34:10Female, okay.
34:11So she knows, yeah, because you'd have to yell at him if he said that.
34:14How do you know what it's like?
34:16Well, congratulations on both of those things.
34:19And that's very exciting.
34:21Will you name the baby Oscar?
34:23It's been suggested a few times.
34:25Uh-huh, yeah.
34:26And?
34:26I mean...
34:29No, no, probably not.
34:32Probably not.
34:33I'd like to go for the Yoruba names, generally.
34:36You are one of two Brits nominated for it, which is very rare.
34:40It's usually...
34:42There's a lot.
34:44You and Delroy Lindo, your co-star.
34:46Yeah.
34:46It's almost like being like Bolivia in the Winter Olympics.
34:50You're just a couple of you representing your country there.
34:53Yeah.
34:53Does that add to the situation?
34:56Um, you know...
34:57In a positive way, maybe, yeah?
34:59I mean, it's nice.
35:00It's just, I don't, I didn't really, I didn't expect the UK to feel, like, this pride, and
35:06I didn't expect them to, like, just fall, like, in...
35:09Like, they were just cheering us on, and I wasn't expecting that, so it's been really nice.
35:14Yeah, that is really nice.
35:15Are your friends and your family back home jockeying for tickets to join you at the show?
35:22They've been very respectful.
35:24It's, like, mum first.
35:25Oh, right, sure.
35:26And husband first, of course.
35:28Right.
35:28Yes.
35:29But it's mum and husband, or mum or husband?
35:33And.
35:34And husband.
35:35And, but also, she's like, I don't know if I...
35:38There's a lot of new babies in our family at the moment, so she's like, the matriarch.
35:43And she's like, I don't know if anyone's going to need me.
35:45Can I, can I tell you on March 9th?
35:47Oh, really?
35:48And she's over in England.
35:51She's got to fly in for the...
35:52She wants to decide at the last moment.
35:54Yeah.
35:54Oh, well, maybe she shouldn't come.
35:57She's so chill.
35:57She's like, I'll just...
35:58I don't even know what I'm wearing.
35:59I'll figure it out on the day.
36:00How did your mum react when you got nominated?
36:03Oh, she's so sweet, because she would send me these messages every so often, like, just,
36:08I really hope, I really pray you get a nomination.
36:10And then she would delete it, and I would see it on WhatsApp, and then she'd be like...
36:14Because she was trying not to put any pressure on me.
36:16And then the morning of, I was asleep when the nominations came through, because it was 5.30.
36:22Yeah.
36:22And I thought it was 8.30, but that was Eastern time.
36:25Oh, you had it wrong.
36:25Okay.
36:26So I had it wrong.
36:26And then I was on the phone to my team.
36:30And then by the time I called my mum, I called her.
36:33I was like, Mom, I've been nominated.
36:35She's like, I told you.
36:37I just, I text you like at, I text you at 5.30 a.m.
36:41I was like, oh, she already knew.
36:42She'd already sat with it.
36:43It had already sunken for her.
36:44I was like...
36:45It's just probably a, why haven't I received the call from my daughter for hours here?
36:49Have you been having fun meeting various actors at these events?
36:53I know they had the luncheon, and they have these various events.
36:56Who have you been excited to meet?
36:58Oh, I feel like my new BFF is Amy Madigan.
37:02Amy Madigan?
37:03Yeah, we're like this now.
37:04Nice.
37:05We texted each other this morning.
37:06Oh, you did.
37:07Yeah.
37:07How are you feeling today?
37:07Do you get back to her more quickly than you do your mother?
37:11Turns out I do.
37:13Is there someone, like an American star, that you are hoping that you will meet?
37:19Oh.
37:21I just, I get, I don't hope to meet anyone, because I feel like I act like a bit of
37:26a fool when
37:27I do.
37:28Uh-huh.
37:28So I just can't, I get so starstruck and stuttery, and I am not very...
37:34Who's your favorite?
37:36My favorite person?
37:39Yeah, famous person, sure.
37:40Well, I'll tell you the person I got really scared about.
37:43Okay.
37:45Because I love her so much was Carol Burnett.
37:47Oh, yeah.
37:47Yeah.
37:48Great.
37:49And I really regret, I'd really chickened out.
37:53Oh, you did?
37:53I was in the same room as her, and I didn't know I was going to be in the same
37:56room as her,
37:56and I took a picture and zoomed in, and...
38:01Because Annie's my favorite film.
38:02And I, um...
38:04Oh, Annie's the name of your character in the movie as well.
38:07It's just perfect.
38:08It's so kinsman.
38:09Is that on, oh, that's just a coincidence.
38:11It's just a coincidence.
38:12Is that hoodoo?
38:13Maybe it is.
38:14Maybe it is.
38:15It's all the kind of ethereal, magical stuff that's aligning so that I finally got to play
38:21Annie, and I got an Oscar nomination.
38:23Did you learn about the magic that you do in the movie?
38:30You're a practitioner of hoodoo.
38:32Did you learn about what that was?
38:34Because, I mean, I think we hear voodoo a lot, but hoodoo is a little...
38:38It's more obscure.
38:39It's different.
38:40I think...
38:41I think the way it's been described to me is that hoodoo is, like, a spiritual practice
38:45and voodoo is a more religious practice.
38:49But they're both kind of derivatives of the spiritual practice of the traditional Yoruba
38:56people.
38:56And so it's like a divination system.
38:59It's this ancestral wisdom.
39:01It's about using plants and herbs and roots and prayers and making magic with intention.
39:10Right.
39:10And did you study with someone who understands that, or did you just kind of wait?
39:15Oh, yeah.
39:15We had a hoodoo consultant, Miss Yvonne.
39:19Yeah.
39:19Yeah.
39:20And then I would go...
39:21I was in New Orleans, so it was like...
39:23It was around me the whole time.
39:25All right.
39:26Yeah, that makes sense.
39:27Michael B. Jordan, he was here, and he was talking about his approach to playing two
39:33characters who are twins.
39:34Could you tell which one was which, which one he was playing when he was doing it?
39:38Clear as day.
39:39Really?
39:39I could tell with my back turned.
39:42At the end of the first week, I did my camera test with him as Smoke, and we went off
39:47to change.
39:48I came back.
39:48I was doing my thing, and I was turning around, and then this guy was just behind me.
39:55I was like, who's this guy coming up to me?
39:56Like, I feel this stranger's energy, and I turned around, and I was like, oh, hey, Stack.
40:02Oh.
40:03Like, it was so clear that that was not my man.
40:05Wow.
40:07Like, it was...
40:08His walk was different.
40:10His face is held differently.
40:11Like, Stack has dimples, and Smoke doesn't.
40:15No.
40:15Come on.
40:16And that's not makeup.
40:17That is literally the precision of Michael's acting.
40:21He held his face so differently.
40:23Like, Smoke has these kind of hooded eyes, and-and-and-and-and-and that has a sparkle.
40:28You're saying that Michael B. Jordan was able to dimple himself.
40:31Yes.
40:33He could dimple himself.
40:35I mean, he had a different cadence and gait.
40:38Yeah, that cadence gait, I can all understand, but dimpling, that's-that's a level beyond
40:43which we've ever seen.
40:44I'm not even joking.
40:45I asked him, I was like, did you do makeup for this?
40:47And he was like, no.
40:49It was all him.
40:50It was all him.
40:51Well, it's great to meet you.
40:52You're just great in the movie, and it's a great movie.
40:54It's called Sinners.
