>> Jimmy: HOW YOU DOIN'?
HEY, CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR 
GOLDEN GLOBE NOMINATION.
>> THANK YOU.
>> Jimmy: THAT CAME ON MONDAY, 
RIGHT?
>> YES, CAME OUT ON MONDAY.
>> Jimmy: THAT'S A VERY EXCITING
THING.
>> YEAH, YEAH.
VERY EXCITING.
>> Jimmy: WAS IT VERY EXCITING?
WERE YOU UP WAITING TO HEAR IF 
YOU'D GET NOMINATED?
>> UM, NO.
>> Jimmy: OKAY.
GOOD, GOOD.
>> AND NOT BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I 
HAD KOREAN BARBECUE THE NIGHT 
BEFORE, AND IT WAS VERY RICH, 
AND SO I, I FELL ASLEEP, AND I 
WOKE UP, AND I SAW LIKE A FLEUR 
EFLEURY
OF MESSAGES AS I WAS WAKING UP 
AS IF SOMEONE DIED.
>> Jimmy: YOU'D FORGOTTEN WHAT 
WAS HAPPENING?
>> YEAH, I DIDN'T, I WASN'T 
REMINDED THAT THEY HAD COME OUT 
THAT DAY.
>> Jimmy: I SEE.
>> YEAH, SO IT WAS THAT.
AND YEAH, BUT -- 
>> Jimmy: THAT WOULD BE WEIRD IF
SOMEBODY DID REMIND YOU, BECAUSE
THEN IT PUTS A LOT OF PRESSURE 
ON BEING NOMINATED.
SOMEONE'S LIKE, BY THE WAY, 
NOMINATIONS IN THE MORNING, AND 
THEN IT'S LIKE, WHAT IF THEY 
DON'T HAPPEN, THEN THAT PERSON'S
A JERK.
>> YEAH, SURE.
THE NOMINATIONS IN GENERAL, LIKE
THE WRONG DATE, NEVER MIND.
>> Jimmy: YOU KNOW WHAT I'M 
SAYING.
IT'S ALL THIS KOREAN BARBECUE.
THAT KNOCKS YOU OUT, HUH?
>> KNOCKED ME OUT, YEAH.
IT WAS REALLY GREAT, THOUGH.
>> Jimmy: YOU BROUGHT SOMETHING 
THAT I, TICKLED ME GREAT LAY.
YOUR FAMILY WAS VERY EXCITED.
>> YES, THEY WERE.
>> Jimmy: THEY START THE GROUP 
TEXTING YOU.
>> YES.
>> Jimmy: EXPLAIN WHAT I'M ABOUT
TO SEE.
>> MY AUNT LINDA IS A LITTLE BIT
OF A NUT.
>> Jimmy: THERE'S ALWAYS AN AUNT
LINDA, AND SHE 'S ALWAYS A NUT.
>> IT WAS JUST AN ODD TEXT FOR 
THE NATURE.
>> Jimmy: SO FIRST OF ALL, I 
LIKE THE NAME OF THE GROUP, 
WHICH IS AKWAFINA FAN CLUB.
CONGRATULATIONS, CONGRATS NORA.
THIS IS AWESOME.
YOU SAY THANK YOU GUYS, WHEN YOU
FINALLY WAKE UP.
THEN LET'S ZOOM IN ON AUNT 
LINDA.
>> HERE WE GO.
>> Jimmy: SERIOUSLY, FAM, CURB 
YOURSELVES OF GLUTEN, GRAINS AND
BEANS, READ UP ON LECTIN AND HOW
IT POISONS YOUR BODY OVER TIME.
TRY TO EAT ONE MEAL A DAY AND 
CUT OUT CORN AND SOY, AND EVEN 
THE ORGANIC KIND.
THE SEEDS ARE ALL GMO.
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL CONGRATULATIONS
THAT WAS FROM AUNT LINDA.
>> I KNOW, LOVE HER.
>> Jimmy: SO SHE IS NOT COMING 
TO THE SHOW, I GUESS.
>> NO.
>> Jimmy: SHE'S NOT EVEN ALLOWED
AT THE FARMER'S MARKET, YOUR 
AUNT LINDA.
>> I THINK SHE YELLS AT THE 
PEOPLE AT THE FARMER'S MARKET, 
SHE'S THAT TYPE.
>> Jimmy: SHE'S LIKE THAT.
>> AUNT LINDA.
>> Jimmy: NOTHING MORE THAT YOU 
NEED TO SAY THAN THAT.
>> YEAH, PRETTY MUCH.
>> Jimmy: YOU USED TO WORK AT A 
VIDEO STORE.
>> YES, I DID.
>> Jimmy: HOW LONG AGO WAS THAT?
>> WHEN I WAS 16 YEARS OLD.
JOIL
. 
>> Jimmy: STILL AT THE END OF 
VIDEO STORES.
>> WE'RE GETTING PUT OUT OF 
BUSINESS.
THAT'S HOW WE OPERATED.
>> Jimmy: NOT GIVING YOU A RAISE
OR -- 
>> FOR EVERYTHING.
WELL, WE'RE GOING TO BE OUT OF 
BUSINESS.
WE'RE GOING TO BE A THING OF THE
PAST.
>> Jimmy: DID THEY GO OUT OF 
BUSINESS EVENTUALLY?
>> YES.
>> Jimmy: THEY WERE RIGHT.
>> EXACTLY.
>> Jimmy: DID YOU HEAR FROM 
THOSE PEOPLE YOU USED TO WORK 
WITH IN THE SENATOR. 
>> YEAH, HE TEXTED ME.
IT WAS A GREAT STORE.
>> WERE YOU ACTIVE IN 
RECOMMENDING FILMS TO PEOPLE, 
THINGS YOU WANTED THEM TO WATCH?
>> YEAH, ALWAYS, THEY WOULD ASK 
ME, AND I WOULD TELL THEM, YEAH.
>> Jimmy: WOULD THEY GET MAD IF 
YOU RECOMMENDED SOMETHING AND 
THEY HATED IT. 
>> YES, THERE WAS ONE PERSON WHO
HATED "INCONVENIENT TRUTH".
AND THREE WERE LIKE, WHAT KIND 
OF MOVIE IS THIS?
I WAS LIKE, A DOCUMENTARY.
>> Jimmy: WAS THAT PERSON 
WEARING A RED HAT WITH FOUR 
LETTERS ON IT BY ANY CHANCE?
>> POSSIBLY, YES.
>> Jimmy: WHAT WAS THE FIRST 
MOVIE YOU EVER SAW, DO YOU 
REMEMBER?
>> YEAH, WHEN I WAS YOUNG, ONE 
OF THE FIRST MOVIES I EVER SAW 
WAS A "A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN", 
"BETELGEUSE" AND "PRIVATE 
PARTS."
>> Jimmy: HOWARD STERN'S MOVIE.
>> YEAH.
>> Jimmy: HOW OLD WERE YOU?
>> 7 OR 8.
>> Jimmy: THAT'S THE PERFECT AGE
FOR "PRIVATE PARTS."
>> AND JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENING.
>> Jimmy: WAS THAT THE WORK OF 
YOUR DAD?
>> MY DAD AND MY UNCLE WERE 
OBSESSED WITH HOWARD STERN.
MY UNCLE HAD THE "PRIVATE PARTS 
A
PARTS"BOOK.
AND I WAS LIKE, WHO IS THIS GUY 
WITH THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING 
THERE.
>> Jimmy: IT WAS IN THE MEDIA.
>> YEAH, YEAH.
>> Jimmy: SO YOU WERE FASCINATED
WITH THIS?
>> YEAH, AND MY DAD WAS ALSO 
OBSESSED WITH RECORDING THE 
E! SHOW ON AND TAPING IT AND 
HOARDING THE TAPES.
>> Jimmy: AND WHOULD YOU WATCH 
THAT?
>> YEAH.
>> Jimmy: SO IT WAS OKAY, YOU 
GUYS WOULD WATCH IT TOGETHER?
>> NO, IT WASN'T OKAY.
IT WAS MORTIFYING AS I LOOK BACK
NOW.
JUST LIKE THE DIFFERENT CONTESTS
AND WHATNOT.
>> Jimmy: YEAH.
>> AND THEN WHEN I WAS IN MY 
20S, YEARS LATER, WE FOUND THE 
TAPES, AND HE'S LIKE, YOU WANT 
TO 
TO WATCH THEM?
IT STILL DIDN'T GET BETTER.
>> Jimmy: DAD WAS NOT 
UNCOMFORTABLE AT ALL.
>> DAD LOVES STERN.
>> Jimmy: IN CERTAIN COMPANY, 
NOT WITH YOUR DAUGHTER.
AND AUNT LINDA ALLOWED THIS TO 
HAPPEN?
>> NO.
NO.
I DON'T THINK AUNT LINDA 
WOULD -- 
>> Jimmy: SHE'S PRETTY FOCUSSED 
ON KOU
ON CORN RIGHT NOW.
>>> TRYING TO STEAL THE KEY TO 
MY CHEST!
>> NOPE.
>> SHAKE HER DOWN.
>> I'M SORRY, I DID IT.
IT WAS MY FAULT.
I UM, I JUST, I DON'T KNOW.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WAS -- 
>> Jimmy: THAT'S AKWAFINA WITH 
THE HOUND FROM GAM"GAME OF 
THRONES," PLAYING ALMOST EXACTLY
THE SAME ROLE HE PLAYED IN "GAME
OF THRONES."
>> I LOVE THAT DUDE, HE'S 
AWESOME.
>> Jimmy: GREAT.

JOHNSON, KEVIN HART, JACK BLACK 
ALL THESE GUYS, DWAYNE JOHNSON 
WAS HERE THE OTHER NIGHT.
>> YEAH.
>> Jimmy: HE, FOR CHRISTMAS, 
BOUGHT HIS MOTHER LAST YEAR A 
HOUSE, AND THEN FOLLOWED IT BY 
BUYING HIS FATHER A HOUSE.
WILL YOU BE BUYING HOMES FOR 
YOUR FAMILY THIS HOLIDAY?
BECAUSE YOU'RE IN THE MOVIE, 
TOO.
>> YEAH, NO, I WAS IN THAT 
MOVIE.
NO.

>> Jimmy: YOU WILL NOT?
>> MAYBE A NICE CHAIR.
>> Jimmy: MM-HM.
>> YOU KNOW?
>> Jimmy: HAVE YOU BOUGHT 
YOURSELF A HOUSE?
WHERE DO YOU LIVE NOW?
>> I JUST MOVED TO LAC.A.
>> Jimmy: YOU DID.
DID YOU DO THAT BECAUSE YOU 
REALLY WANTED TO OR YOU FELT 
LIKE FOR PROFESSIONAL REASONS IT
WOULD BE BETTER?
>> YOU KNOW, I DID WANT TO, 
BECAUSE I LOVE L.A., AND I'LL 
TELL YOU WHY I LOVE L.A., 
GROWING UP IN NEW YORK.
MY DREAM WAS ALWAYS TO DRIVE A 
CAR TO TARGET, GO TO TARGET.
YOU LOAD YOUR THINGS IN THERE.
YOUR THONGS IN THERE.
AND THEN, AND THEN YOU DRIVE 
HOME, AND THEN YOU GO INTO THE 
MOUTH OF YOUR HOUSE AND DROP OFF
WHAT YOU BOUGHT, INSTEAD OF 
TAKING FOUR TRAINS HOME WITH 
LIKE, YOU KNOW, A SMALL HOUSE, 
YOU KNOW?
>> Jimmy: YEAH, YOU KNOW WHAT?
I'M TOTALLY WITH YOU ON THAT.
I LIKE TO GO TO COSTCO, AND I 
LIKE TO GET STUFF I DON'T NEED.
>> YEAH.
>> Jimmy: LIKE 48 BATTERIES.
>> YEAH!
>> Jimmy: AND I THINK ABOUT THAT
ALL THE TIME WHEN I'M IN NEW 
YORK, BECAUSE I'VE NEVER LIVED 
IN NEW YORK CITY.
I'M LIKE, HOW ARE THESE PEOPLE 
SHOPPING?
>> THEY'RE NOT.
THEY ARE, AND THEY'RE BRINGING 
ON THE TRAIN, YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S
LIKE HOLDING A 48-PACK OF TISSUE
PAPER?
>> Jimmy: I'VE SEEN THAT, AND 
IT'S NO GOOD.
>> IT'S NO GOOD.
>> Jimmy: YOU, BEING A HOME 
OWNER, IS THAT STRESSFUL FOR 
YOU. 
>> YOU KNOW, I THOUGHT I WOULD 
BE A REALLY CHILL HOMEOWNER, 
LIKE COME ON BY, DUDE.
I HAVE A FRIEND THAT'S BEEN 
LIVING THERE FOR A LONG TIME OR 
SOMETHING, BUT NO, I'M HORRIBLE.
I HAVE A MINI STROKE, A FRIEND 
CLOGGED MY DOWNSTAIRS TOILET AND
I FOUND MYSELF YELLING AT HIM 
LIKE MY DAD WOULD, YOU KNOW I 
HAVE TO PAY FOR EVERYTHING THAT 
HAPPENS IN THIS HOUSE, RIGHT?
AND I DO MY LITTLE, WALK OVER TO
THINGS, CHECK OUT A CRACK, I 
ALWAYS HAVE A THING.
>> Jimmy: IUH-HUH.
MY DAD WAS ALWAYS CHECKING THE 
WALLS.
AND WE ALWAYS MADE FUN OF HIM.
YOUR HANDS ARE ON THE WALLS, WHY
ARE YOUR HANDS ON THE WALLS.
NOW I FIND MYSELF LOOKING AT THE
WALLS, AND GOING WHY ARE THESE 
CHILDREN PUTTING THEIR HANDS ON 
THE WALLS!
>> THIS LITTLE TITANIC SMEAR, 
YEAH, YEAH.
>> Jimmy: ARE YOU THAT ALL 
BALANCED ALL THE TIME THAT YOU 
HAVE TO -- SPIDERMAN IS IN THE 
HOUSE.
THEY'RE ALL OVER THE WALLS.
>> YES.
>> Jimmy: YEAH, YOU HAVE TO 
PROTECT THE WALLS.
>> PROTECT THE WALLS AT ALL 
COSTS.
>> Jimmy: WHAT'S GOING ON FOR 
CHRISTMAS?
YOU HAVE A PLAN?
YOU GOING HOME?
>> UM, PROBABLY NOT.
MY DAD RUINED THANKSGIVING, I'VE
HAD ENOUGH.
>> Jimmy: YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD BE
A FUN THING, INVITE YOUR FRIENDS
OVER TO THE HOUSE, LET THEM CLOG
UP THE TOILETS.
THE YULETIDE CLOG, A TRADITION 
FOR YOU.
>> THAT WOULD BE VERY FESTIVE, 
YES.
I LOVE T. 
>> Jimmy: THE MOVIE IS CALLED 
JUMANJI, THE NEXT LEVEL
