>> Jimmy: VERY GOOD TO SEE YOU.
>> YOU TOO, HOW YOU DOIN'?
>> Jimmy: YOU KNOW, I WAS 
LISTENING TO YOUR ALBUM WITH MY 
KIDS THIS MORNING, AND WE ALL 
KIND OF ENJOYED IT.
ONE OF THE SONGS "WISH YOU WERE 
GAY", I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
HOW TO EXPLAIN THAT TO MY 
5-YEAR-OLD, BUT SHE DIDN'T 
REALLY PICK UP ON IT, SO THAT 
WAS OKAY.
HOW ARE YOU DOING?
>> I'M GREAT.
>> Jimmy: CONGRATULATIONS ON ALL
THE AWARD NOMINATIONS YOU GOT.
>> THANK YOU.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
>> Jimmy: WERE YOU UP WATCHING?
OR HOW DID YOU FIND OUT?
>> NO.
>> Jimmy: YOU DID NOT GET UP 
EARLY?
>> THAT WENT OFF LIKE 5:00 A.M.
I'M NOT GOING TO WAKE UP WITH 
THAT.
I STAYED.
I WAS KNOCKED OUT.
MY MOM CAME AND WOKE ME UP AND I
WAS LIKE HALF ASLEEP.
>> Jimmy: SO YOU'RE STILL LIVING
WITH THE FOLKS, WITH THE 
PARENTS?
>> YEAH.
>> Jimmy: OR ARE THEY LIVING 
WITH YOU?
WHICH IS IT 
>> LIKE BOTH.
I'M LIVING WITH THEM AT HOME, 
AND ON TOUR, THEY'RE LIVING WITH
ME.
>> Jimmy: SO YOU ARE IN YOUR 
HOUSE THAT YOU GREW UP IN?
>> YEAH.
>> Jimmy: AND YOUR BROTHER LIVES
WITH YOU?
OR NO.
>> HE DID UNTIL LIKE THE IEND O 
LAST YEARISH.
BUT HE STILL COMES BACK AND 
LIKE -- 
>> Jimmy: LAUNDRY?
THAT ALWAYS BRINGS THEM HOME.
>> YOU DO LAUNDRY AT YOUR 
PARENTS' HOUSE?
>> Jimmy: I HAVE OLDER CHILDREN.
THEY DON'T REALLY DO LAUNDRY, 
BUT I ASSUME IF THEY EVER CLEAN 
THEIR CLOTHES THEY WOULD COME 
RIGHT TO MY HOUSE.
>> WOW.
>> Jimmy: AS FAR AS THESE 
NOMINATIONS, IS THIS, JUST, ARE 
YOU USED TO THIS BY NOW?
OR DO YOU STOP AND GO, WOW, THIS
IS WEIRD?
>> I MEAN, THE GRAMMYS IS THE 
GRAMMYS, SO AS COOL AS 
EVERYTHING ELSE IS, IT'S THE 
GRAMMYS.
I'VE WATCHED THAT EVERY SINGLE 
YEAR MY ENTIRE LIFE, LIKE 
JUDGING ALL THE GIRLS' UGLY-ASS 
DRESSES.
EVERY YEAR MY FAMILY AND ME 
WOULD ALL SIT IN THE ROOM AND 
WATCH THE GRAMMYS.
WE NEVER MISSED IT.
THE FACT THAT I'M THE SAME 
LITTLE GIRL WATCHING IT IN MY 
LIVING ROOM, AND I'M IN THE SAME
LIVING ROOM BEING NOMINATED FOR 
SIX, LIKE WHAT IS THAT?
>> Jimmy: ARE YOUR PARENTS GOING
TO GO WITH YOU TO THE SHOW?
>> MM-HM.
>> Jimmy: YOU'RE DOING THE 
AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS.
>> ON SUNDAY.
>> Jimmy: THAT'S YOUR FIRST 
AWARD SHOW PERFORMANCE.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
I'M WONDERING ABOUT THIS.
THIS IS A SITUATION WHERE YOU 
ARE AL 
HAVE ALL OF THESE ARTISTS ON 
STAGE.
DO YOU FEEL COMPETITIVE WITH 
THEM, LIKE I'M GOING TO GO OUT 
THERE, MY PERFORMANCE IS GOING 
TO BE THE BEST PERFORMANCE OF 
ALL OF THEM?
>> IT'S LIKE ALMOST, BUT IT'S 
MORE LIKE A COMPETITIVENESS WITH
MYSELF.
>> Jimmy: WITH YOURSELF, RIGHT.
>> IF THAT MAKES SENSE.
I GO UP THERE TO LIKE BE BETTER 
THAN MYSELF.
>> Jimmy: MM-HM.
>> KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
>> Jimmy: I TOTALLY KNOW WHAT 
YOU MEAN.
>> IT'S WEIRD, I'M LIKE IN THIS 
WHOLE WORLD.
>> Jimmy: I DO KNOW WHAT YOU'RE 
TALKING ABOUT, BECAUSE I'VE BEEN
IN SITUATIONS WHERE THERE HAVE 
BEEN A BUNCH OF COMEDIANS ON, 
AND YOU ALWAYS WANT TO BE THE 
BEST ONE.
DOESN'T MEAN YOU DON'T WANT THE 
OTHER ONES TO NOT BE GOOD.
>> RIGHT, TO NOT BE GOOD.
IT'S LIKE THE WHOLE UNIVERSE IS 
TRYING TO PIT EVERY ARTIST 
AGAINST EACH OTHER.
IT'S SO WEIRD.
>> Jimmy: AND SOME PEOPLE THINK 
THAT WAY.
>> MM-HM.
>> Jimmy: YOU DON'T.
>> I DON'T.
>> Jimmy: ARE YOU 17 YEARS OLD, 
BY IS CRAZY THAT YOU'RE THIS 
SUCCESSFUL AT 17 YEARS OLD.
I THINK BACK TO MYSELF AT 17.
WHEN I WAS 17, PERHAPS THE 
GREATEST YEAR IN AMERICAN 
HISTORY, 1984.
EXPERTS AGREE, RIGHT?
AND I WAS WONDERING IF I COULD 
GO -- 
>> WHO WAS BORN AFTER THAT IN 
THIS ROOM?
>> Jimmy: AFTER 1983?
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
IS THAT YOUR NICE WAY OF 
REMINDING ME HOW CLOSE I AM TO 
DEATH?
YOU KNOW WHO MADONNA IS?
>> I DO KNOW WHO MADONNA IS.
>> Jimmy: CAN YOU NAME A VAN 
HALEN?
>> WHO?
>> Jimmy: I'M GOING TO START 
CRYING.
HAVE YOU HEARD OF CYNDI LAUPER?
>> YES.
>> Jimmy: HUEY LEWIS?
>> NO.
>> Jimmy: FILL IN THE BLANK.
RUN DM -- 
>> WHAT?
WHAT IS THAT?
>> Jimmy: IT SOUNDS LIKE A 
DIRECT MESSAGE WHILE YOU'RE 
DRIVING NOW.
RUN DMC.
GREAT HIP-HOP GROUP.
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN "THE COSBY 
SHOW"?
>> NO.
>> Jimmy: WOW, HAVE YOU EVER 
PLAYED WITH A CABBAGE PATCH KID?
>> A CABBAGE PATCH KID?
>> Jimmy: IN 1984 -- 
>> IT'S LIKE A SOUR PATCH KID?
IS IT A CANDY?
>> Jimmy: IT WAS A DOLL.
YOUR PARENTS WOULD GO TO THE 
MALL AND FIGHT OTHER PARENTS FOR
THESE. 
>> WOW.
>> Jimmy: AND THEY'D BRING THEM 
HOME AND PROVE HOW THEY LOVED 
YOU.
WHAT DID MR. T PITY?
>> WHAT IS THAT QUESTION?
>> Jimmy: THE POINT IS, I'M 
TRYING TO MAKE A POINT THAT 
YOU'RE YOUNGER THAN I AM.
CAN YOU NAME ANY OF THE ORIGINAL
"GHOSTBUSTERS"?
>> I DON'T THINK I'VE SEEN IT.
>> Jimmy: WHAT SHOULD YOU NEVER 
DO TO A GREMLIN AFTER MIDNIGHT?
>> YOU'RE MAKING ME LOOK SO 
DUMB.
>> Jimmy: IT'S NOT A MATTER OF 
BEING DUMB.
IF YOU ASK ME QUESTIONS ABOUT 
1943, I PROBABLY WOULDN'T KNOW 
THE ANSWERS EITHER.
>> WELL, GREAT.
YOU'RE TURNING 18 NEXT MONTH.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?
IS THERE A BIG PARTY PLANNED?
IS SOMEBODY ELSE RESPONSIBLE?
>> I HAVE SOME IDEAS OF STUFF, 
BUT IT'S PRETTY LIKE, MY LIFE 
STUFF.
BUT THE MAIN THING I'M EXCITED 
ABOUT IS BEING ABLE TO DRIVE MY 
CAR PAST 11:00.
>> Jimmy: THAT'S THE LAW?
YOU CAN'T DRIVE AFTER 11:00?
>> YEAH, IF YOU, YOU HAVE TO 
EITHER HAVE HAD YOUR LICENSE FOR
A WHOLE YEAR OR BE 18.
>> Jimmy: OH.
>> AND I WAS SO BUSY, I MEAN, MY
LIFE WAS PRETTY CRAZY THE LAST 
COUPLE YEARS.
SO I GOT TO IT A LITTLE BIT 
LATE, EVEN THOUGH IT'S SOMETHING
I REALLY WANTED TO DO MY ENTIRE 
LIFE.
ALL I WANTED TO DO WAS DRIVE.
ALL I WANTED TO DO WAS DRIVE.
>> Jimmy: DO YOU HAVE A CAR?
>> I DO.
>> Jimmy: DO YOU DRIVE SAFELY?
[ LAUGHTER ]
DO YOUR PARENTS TRACK YOU LIKE 
ON THEIR PHONE?
>> I DRIVE FUN-LY.
>> Jimmy: DO YOUR PARENTS TRACK 
YOU.
>> HELL NO.
>> Jimmy: DO YOU LIKE SPEND 
MONEY ON THINGS?
CAN YOU GO TO THE SENATOR 
>> NO, I'M GOING TO TELL MYSELF 
IF, I'LL GET TOTALLY MOBBED IF I
GO TO CVS.
IF YOU'RE IN A PLACE THAT DAY 
WHERE YOU FEEL NOT IN THE MOOD, 
THAT'S WHEN IT JUST DRIVES YOU, 
BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO PUT YOUR 
PLACE IN THE PLACE OF I'M FINE.
I'M HAPPY.
A COUPLE WEEKS AGO I KIND OF 
DECIDED TO START LIVING LIKE I 
JUST WOKE UP, AND THIS WAS MY 
LIFE.
>> Jimmy: OH, OKAY, I SEE.
>> NO , IN A GOOD WAY.
IF I WAS MY 12 YEAR OLD SELF AND
I SUDDENLY WOKE UP AND THIS WAS 
MY LIFE, WHAT WOULD I BE LIKE 
OH, MY GOD, I'M TAKING FOR 
GRANTED I'VE BEEN TRYING TO LIVE
LIKE THAT LATELY.
>> Jimmy: THAT'S A GREAT WAY OF 
LOOKING AT IT.
DID YOU COME UP WITH IT YOURSELF
OR DID SOMEBODY ADVISE YOU AND 
TELL YOU TO THINK ABOUT IT LIKE 
THAT?
>> NO, I CAME UP WITH IT BY 
MYSELF.
SPORTY SPICE WAS TALKING TO ME, 
AND SHE WAS SAYING -- I DON'T 
WANT TO SAY IF, I DON'T KNOW IF 
IT'S A SECRET OR WHATEVER.
BUT WHEN SHE WAS ON STAGE WITH 
ALL THE GIRLS AND THEY WERE ALL 
SMILING AT EACH OTHER AND SHE 
WAS SAYING IT WAS A MAGICAL 
MOMENT.
AT THE BEGINNING AND THE MIDDLE,
IT'S LIKE YOU WORK, WORK, WORK, 
WORK, AND IT'S HUGE, HUGE, HUGE,
AND THEN IT'S DONE, AND IT'S 
LIKE OH.
WHERE DID THAT GO?
AND I JUST THOUGHT ABOUT THAT 
OH, MY GOD, I'M IN THAT PART OF 
MY LIFE THAT IN THE FUTURE I'M 
GOING TO BE LIKE, DAMN, I WISH 
I'D BEEN, WHATEVER.
SO I'M GOING TO TRY TO BE AS 
PRESENT AS POSSIBLE.
>> Jimmy: THIS IS GOOD.
THIS IS A GOOD THING.
NOW YOU'RE GOING TO GET TO ENJOY
SOME COMMERCIALS.
AND WHEN WE COME BACK, WE'LL 
TALK MORE WITH BILLIE EILISH.
WE'RE BACK 
WITH BILLIE EILISH WHO WILL BE 
ON THE AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS ON 
SUNDAY.
YOU'RE GOING ON TOUR STARTING IN
MIAMI, STARTING MARCH 9th, AND 
ALSO THIS IS THE ALBUM, IT'S 
CALLED, WELL, YOU PROBABLY 
ALREADY HAVE IT.
IT'S THE "WHERE DO WE ALL GO 
WHEN WE SLEEP" TOUR.
WHEN YOU ARE THIS AGE AND YOU'RE
DOING WORK AS YOU ARE DOING.
>> MM-HM.
>> Jimmy: YOU, BECAUSE YOU 
REALLY GROW SO MUCH AS AN 
ARTIST, REALLY, IN A LOT OF WAYS
AT YOUR AGE, DO YOU LOOK BACK AT
THINGS YOU DID TWO YEARS AGO AND
GO, OH, BOY, I WISH I COULD DO 
THAT OVER AGAIN?
DO YOU THINK OF IT THAT WAY?
>> NO.
>> Jimmy: YOU DO NOT?
>> I'LL PROBABLY FEEL THAT WAY 
IN A COUPLE YEARS FROM NOW.
>> AND I LOOK AT VIDEOS FROM TWO
YEARS AGO, IT'S REALLY, LIKE 
IT'S GROSS.
>> Jimmy: THAT'S WHAT I WAS 
SAYING.
>> IT'S GROSS.
LIKE I DID THIS THING WITH 
VANITY FAIR WHERE I DID THE SAME
INTERVIEW TWO YEARS APART.
IT WAS LIKE ONE YEAR, IT WAS 
2017.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
2018.
AND THEN WE SHOT THE OTHER ONE, 
OR THE THIRD, THIRD YEAR, WHICH 
IS ACTUALLY TWO YEARS LATER, A 
COUPLE WEEKS AGO, AND I HAD TO 
WATCH BACK ALL THESE THINGS I'D 
NEVER SEEN FROM WHEN I WAS 15.
LIKE, IT'S LIKE, OH.
>> Jimmy: WELL, IT'S IMPORTANT 
TO REMEMBER THAT.
>> IF I MET ME THEN NOW, I WOULD
PUNCH THAT GIRL IN THE FACE.
>> Jimmy: I THINK THAT'S A 
POSITIVE.
IF YOU'RE NOT LOOKING BACK AT 
THINGS LIKE THAT, YOU'RE NOT 
GROWING IN ANY WAY.
>> YES, TOTALLY, TOTALLY.
>> Jimmy: SO THE AMAs, THIS 
SHOW, IS THERE ANYONE THERE, AN 
ARTIST THERE THAT YOU'VE NOT MET
THAT YOU ARE EXCITED TO MEET?
>> I GENERALLY DON'T KNOW WHO'S 
GOING TO BE THERE.
>> Jimmy: YOU DON'T?
>> I DON'T.
>> Jimmy: JESSIE REYES IS GOING 
TO BE ON THE SHOW, HOW DO YOU 
KNOW EACH OTHER?
>> I FOUND HER MUSIC WHEN I WAS 
LIKE 13 AND BECAME A FAN OF IT.
AND THEN YEARS LATER, AFTER I 
HAD MUSIC OUT AND STUFF, I 
REALIZED THAT, I DON'T EVEN 
REMEMBER HOW IT STARTED, BUT I 
HEARD THIS SONG "GATEKEEPER" 
THAT SHE HAS, AND IT BLEW MY 
MIND.
AND I REMEMBER -- 
>> Jimmy: DID YOU REACH OUT TO 
HER?
>> I JUST POSTED THE SONG ON MY 
ACTUAL ACCOUNT AND WAS LIKE, 
THIS IS THE MOST INCREDIBLE 
THING I'VE EVER HEARD IN MY 
LIFE.
WE GOT TOGETHER AND GOT ALONG 
REALLY WELL.
WE WENT OUT A COUPLE TIMES, 
WROTE A SONG TOGETHER, WROTE 
ANOTHER SONG, YEAH, WE'RE JUST 
FRIENDS.
SHE'S LIKE ONE OF THE MOST 
TALENTED.
SHE'S PROBABLY THE BEST WRITER 
I'VE EVER MET BESIDES MY 
BROTHER.
>> Jimmy: IF YOU'D LIKE, YOU CAN
INTRODUCE HER AT THE END OF THE 
SHOW.
YOU CAN STICK AROUND.
IT'S GREAT TO HAVE YOU HERE.
WE'RE GOING TO SEE YOU ON TV, 
AND ON TOUR.
BILLIE EILISH, EVERYBODY.
