EVERY TIME YOU'VE BEEN ON THE SHOW I'VE BROUGHT IT UP TO YOU AND I DON'T KNOW WHY I KEEP
BRINGING IT UP >> IT COMES UP EVERY TIME. AND I WILL SAY, I WISH THERE
WAS MORE FORWARD MOTION ON THIS -- THIS SITUATION, BUT THERE HAS BEEN NOTHING SINCE

[ LAUGHTER ] WHAT WAS THIS FOR? WHAT WAS THIS FOR?
>> SO THIS IS MY BROTHER'S BAR MITZVAH. [ LAUGHTER ]
I DON'T -- YEAH, I THINK THIS IS PROBABLY MY DAD'S IDEA. AND HE WAS -- I BELIEVE I
REMEMBER HIM BEING LIKE, "JUST BE TOTALLY SERIOUS, LIKE, THINK OF SOMETHING REALLY SERIOUS,
LIKE THE MOST SERIOUS THING. >> Jimmy: THAT'S REALLY FUNNY. >> AND SO -- YEAH.
>> Jimmy: THAT'S REALLY FUNNY. YEAH, SO, IT'S IN MY BONES A A LITTLE BIT
>> Jimmy: MAYBE YOU'RE PERFORMING -- YOU GOT THAT FROM YOUR DAD, BECAUSE YOUR DAD WAS
IN A BAND, WASN'T HE >> YEAH, MY DAD -- MY DAD REUNITED WITH HIS HIGH SCHOOL
BAND WHEN I WAS A KID. HE PLAYS THE DRUMS AND THEY REUNITED, AND THEY
TITLED THE BAND "SECOND CHANCE." >> Jimmy: OH
>> WHICH IS PRETTY PERFECT FOR, LIKE, A HIGH SCHOOL BAND REUNITING 20 YEARS LATER
YEAH, IT WAS REALLY COOL THEY PLAYED BARS ALL AROUND PHILLY
BUT THE BIG THING THAT I GOT TO GO TO, WHICH I THOUGHT WAS HUGE AT THE TIME, WAS THEY PLAYED
THE ART MUSEUMS STEPS, WHICH MOST PEOPLE KNOW AS, LIKE, THE ROCKY STEPS.
SO, IT WAS A PRETTY BIG DEAL IT WAS -- IT WAS AT, LIKE, 2:00 P.M. ON A SATURDAY.
SO, IT WAS LIKE A -- >> Jimmy: I'LL TAKE IT I'LL TAKE IT
>> -- CHILDREN'S CROWD. BUT, YEAH, YEAH. >> Jimmy: GO SEE "SECOND
CHANCE" ON THE STEPS WHY NOT. I LOVE IT.
>> LISTEN. >> Jimmy: I'D DO IT. >> CHECK THEM OUT.
>> Jimmy: I WILL HOW ABOUT YOU PERFORMING DID YOU EVER GET UP ON STAGE OR
SING, OR - WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST COMEDY BITS YOU REMEMBER DOING
>> THE FIRST TIME I REMEMBER DOING A COMEDY BIT WAS -- YOU KNOW, MY PARENTS HAD JUST
GOTTEN THIS TREADMILL IN THEIR BEDROOM, WHICH WAS LIKE IN THE '90s -- OR, YEAH, WE'RE TALKING
'90s AND, THAT WAS, SORT OF, LIKE MY STAGE.
AND I HAD THIS MASK WHERE IT CUT OFF -- IT LEFT MY MOUTH OPEN, IT WAS THIS OLD MAN WITH
A CIGAR, AND I WAS LIKE DRESSED IN A LITTLE BLAZER, NOT UNLIKE RIGHT NOW.
AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS, I GUESS I WAS TELLING A STORY AND I WAS TRYING TO PERFORM, AND IT
JUST GOT - YOU KNOW, THE FARTHEST I GOT WAS, LIKE, AFTER THE FIRST
LINE, IT WAS JUST, SORT OF, ME SAYING SOMETHING LIKE, "YEAH, I WAS WALKING DOWN THE STREET.
AND I DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT IT KILLED LIKE, AT THE TIME, I WAS LIKE,
"THEY --" IT WAS JUST MY PARENTS WATCHING, "THEY LOVE THIS
THEY ARE -- I'M KILLING IT." AND SO, I COULDN'T GET PAST THAT FIRST LINE.
>> Jimmy: "I'M WALKING DOWN THE STREET" WAS YOUR LINE? >> "I WAS JUST WALKING DOWN THE
STREET," AND THEY WOULD DIE. THEY WOULD GO NUTS OKAY, SO, I JUST KEPT REPEATING
IT, AND THEN, YOU KNOW, I JUST FIND OUT, MY PARENTS WERE JUST HIGH
>> Jimmy: OH, MY -- THAT'S NOT -- NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT. >> MY PARENTS JUST SMOKED WEED,
AND THEY WERE LIKE, "WE LOVED THAT NIGHT." [ LAUGHTER ]
THEY WERE LIKE, "THAT NIGHT WAS EPIC." I WAS JUST WALKING DOWN THE
STREET, I'M LIKE, "ALL RIGHT." I WENT -- I HAVE A CAREER BASED ON THAT NIGHT, AND IT WAS
A LIE. [ LAUGHTER ] >> Jimmy: YOU MAY -- EXACTLY
YEAH I WANT TO TALK ABOUT "THE MITCHELLS VERSUS THE MACHINES.

OH, THEY'RE SO FUNNY >> I CAN'T BELIEVE -- I TRULY CAN'T BELIEVE I GOT TO PLAY
THIS CHARACTER AND EVEN BE A A PART OF THIS FILM. AND, YEAH, IT'S -- IT'S -- IT
IS DEFINITELY A FAMILY FILM, BUT IT'S JUST AS MUCH FOR KIDS AS ADULTS.
I KNOW PEOPLE SAY THAT FOR EVERY ANIMATED MOVIE, BUT IT REALLY IS.
IT'S SO FUNNY. I CRIED AT THE END IT'S BASICALLY, I PLAY KATIE,
SHE'S ABOUT TO GO TO COLLEGE, AND SHE DOESN'T FIT IN SHE'S SO EXCITED TO GO TO

HERE'S ABBI JACOBSON IN "THE MITCHELLS VERSUS THE MACHINES. TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.
>> PLAY IT SAFE? WHEN RICK MITCHELL BROUGHT A A LIVE, NON-NEUTERED, FERAL
POSSUM INTO OUR HOME, DID HE PLAY IT SAFE NO
HE NAMED HIM GUS, AND MADE HIM A MEMBER OF THE FAMILY, AND WE ALL GOT RABIES THAT ONE TIME
BUT NOW, WE'RE IMMUNIZED, AND WE'RE STRONGER FOR IT. >> YES, OKAY, I SEE WHAT YOU'RE
DOING. >> WHEN WE WENT HIKING AND HALFWAY UP THE MOUNTAIN IT
SAID, "TRAIL CLOSED," DID WE PLAY IT SAFE THEN? >> NO, WE DIDN'T
>> THAT'S RIGHT. WE FORGED AHEAD, THROUGH THE MUCK AND GRIME, GOT TO THE TOP
OF THE MOUNTAIN AND YELLED, "KINGS OF MICHIGAN!" AND THEN IT GOT DARK, AND WE
GOT LOST, WE BURNED OUR CLOTHES FOR WARMTH, BUT IT WAS WORTH IT TO SEE THE LOOKS ON OUR
NEIGHBORS' FACES WHEN WE BURST INTO THEIR BACKYARD NAKED AND COVERED IN DIRT.
>> I LOVE THAT >> WE HAVE A CHANCE TO SAVE THE WORLD, AND WE'RE GONNA DO IT
