>>> WHAT'S WITH THE AIRBUS?
RECORDING THIS OR SOMETHING?
>> JUST HIS MUSIC.
>> YEAH, HE'S LOONEY JUST LIKE
HIS TUNES.
WHAT'S HE LISTENING TO?
LET ME CHECK.
TEQUILA!
WHICH REMINDS ME, WHY THE
MEXICAN DUDE THROW HIS WIFE OFF
THE CLIFF?
OH, RUINED IT.
I RUINED IT.
>> WE MET BEFORE, RIGHT?
>> OH, YOU STILL ALIVE, RIGHT?
>> UH-HUH.
>> THEN I GUESS WE AIN'T NEVER
MET.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Jimmy: THAT'S JAMIE FOXX?
"BABY DRIVER."
I JUST WANT TO SAY SOMETHING
VERY SERIOUS RIGHT NOW.
THAT -- I SAW THAT MOVIE LAST
NIGHT.
THAT'S A GREAT MOVIE.
I MEAN, IT IS FANTASTIC.
>> THANK YOU.
>> Jimmy: IT IS REALLY, REALLY
GOOD.
YOU MUST BE VERY PLEASED.
>> I'M VERY HAPPY TO HAVE A
MOVIE THAT I CAN GO OUT AND
PROMOTE AND IT'S ACTUALLY GOOD.
[ LAUGHTER ]
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Jimmy: IT'S NOT JUST GOOD.
>> LESS THEN.
EDGAR WRIGHT IS ABSOLUTELY
AMAZING.
YOU KNOW, "SEAN OF THE DEAD" AND
ALL OF HIS MOVIES.
HE HAS A HUGE FOLLOWING.
THIS IS THE QUENTIN TARANTINO
MOMENT FOR EDGAR.
WHAT I MEAN BY THAT IS, QUENTIN
TARANTINO, ALL OF THE MOVIES
THAT HE DID, TO ME, SHARPENED
HIM FOR THE MOVIE "DJANGO."
ALL OF HIS THINGS THAT HE WANTED
TO GET OUT OF A MOVIE, HE GOT IT
IN "DJANGO" AND "INGLOURIOUS
BASTERDS."
YOU LOOK AT EDGAR WRIGHT, ALL
THE MOVIES THAT HE'S DONE COMES
TOGETHER IN THIS FILM.
AN GEL ELGORE.
KEVIN SPACEY IS AMAZING.
I NO YOU LOVE BOTH OF THOSE
GUYS.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
THEY BOTH DID A GREAT JOB.
>> Jimmy: JON HAMM IS VERY SCARY
IN THE MOVIE.
YOU'RE VERY, VERY SCARY.
>> I AM THE SCARY BLACK GUY.
>> Jimmy: HAVE YOU EVER PLAYED A
SCARY GUY LIKE THAT BEFORE?
>> TO MY KIDS PROBABLY, YEAH.
[ LAUGHTER ]
BUT IT WAS GREAT TO PLAY IT DID.
WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT PLAYING IT
I SAID, I WANT TO BE ABLE TO
COMPROMISE THESE GUYS.
MEANING LIKE -- BATS IS HIS NAME
BUT HE HAS TO COMPROMISE HIM.
AS MEN, WITH OUR LADIES OR
WHATEVER LIKE THAT, IF A GUY
COMES INTO OUR SPACE AND HE'S,
YOU KNOW -- HE COMPROMISES YOU
ONLY GOT A COUPLE THINGS YOU CAN
DO.
I CAN SOCK THIS DUDE, WE CAN GET
INTO IT, WHATEVER IT IS.
SO I WANTED BATS TO BE THAT TYPE
OF PERSON WHO COMPROMISES JON
HAMM, COMPROMISES ANSEL, TO
WHERE, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO
AS A MAN?
BECAUSE I'M THE DUDE.
I'M THE GUY THAT WRECKS THE
PARTY.
AND I KNOW GUYS LIKE THIS.
LIKE, I WILL -- I PATTERN THIS
GUY AFTER A COUPLE OF FRIENDS
THAT I KNOW.
>> Jimmy: OH, REALLY?
>> OH YEAH.
>> Jimmy: WILL THEY BE ON THE
ISLAND, THOSE FRIENDS?
>> THEY WILL BE THEY'LL ACTUALLY
BE AT THE SCREENING TONIGHT.
ONE OF THE GUYS I MET YEARS AGO,
AND THE WAY I KNEW HIM IS
BECAUSE WHEN I FIRST GOT TO L.A.
I DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT
L.A., I DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT BLOODS AND CRIPS, ANYTHING
LIKE THAT.
I'M DOING STANDUP IN THIS CLUB,
AND THIS DUDE, YO, WHAT'S UP?
WHAT'S UP?
COME TO MY HOUSE, DOG, AND DO
JOKES.
I DIDN'T KNOW.
[ LAUGHTER ]
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HE WAS.
WHEN I GOT TO THE HOUSE I WAS
LIKE, OH [ BLEEP ].
[ LAUGHTER ]
THESE ARE GANGSTERS!
[ LAUGHTER ]
AND SO MY WHOLE -- THE GUYS THAT
ARE STILL ALIVE --
[ LAUGHTER ]
ARE THE ONES -- OF MY HOMIES
THAT I PATTERN AFTER.
THEY'RE GOING TO WRECK THE
PARTY.
WE COULD GO SOMEWHERE, WHY YOU
DO THAT?
NO, NO -- I SAID, DON'T DO THAT
IN HERE!
IT'S CRAZY.
SO PEOPLE THAT ARE WATCHING THAT
ARE FROM THE HOOD REALLY
UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING.
>> Jimmy: I THINK I KNOW WHAT
YOU MEAN, YEAH.
>> DON'T DO THAT RIGHT HERE.
NO, IMA DO IT!
YOU CAN'T EVEN GET TO THEM.
YOU WANT TO GET ME TOO, I'LL GET
TO IT.
THAT'S WHO BETS IS.
TO BE ON SET WITH THOSE GREAT
ACTORS -- I MEAN, I'M WATCHING
KEVIN SPACEY, I'VE NEVER DONE A
FILM WITH HIM.
>> Jimmy: YEAH HE'S GREAT.
>> YOU KNOW, I'M STUPID, I KEEP
SAYING LINES FROM OTHER
