TALK ABOUT IT NOW? >> YOU KNOW, THAT WAS A BIG PART OF GETTING THE FREEDOM TO

>> YOU KNOW, AND SOMEHOW, AFTER HE PASSED, I GOT FREE. YOU KNOW, THERE WERE THINGS I
JUST NEVER WOULD HAVE TALKED ABOUT FROM MY CHILDHOOD, YOU KNOW, WHILE HE WAS ALIVE
MY FATHER WAS, YOU KNOW, THE GREATEST MAN I HAVE EVER KNOWN, YOU KNOW
BUT HE ALSO HAD SOME ISSUES. IT WAS REALLY A DOUBLE EDGED SWORD.
AND, YOU KNOW, JUST THOSE EXPERIENCES DIDN'T FIT INTO THE -- THE NARRATIVE OF
WILL SMITH YOU KNOW SO IT WAS, YOU KNOW, AFTER HE
PASSED AND, YOU KNOW, I GUESS I FELT LIKE I HAD SUFFERED ENOUGH IN MY LIFE THAT I COULD GIVE
ADVICE YOU KNOW IT FEELS LIKE YOU CAN'T, YOU
KNOW, YOU CAN'T GIVE ADVICE UNTIL YOU HAVE EARNED IT >> Jimmy: YEAH
>> YOU KNOW? >> Jimmy: YEAH >> I JUST FELT LIKE I WAS IN A
A PLACE IN MY LIFE WHERE I HAD REFLECTED ENOUGH AND I HAD HEALED ENOUGH THINGS
I HAD EXPERIENCED ENOUGH THINGS THAT I FELT THAT IT WOULD HAVE SOME VALUE OF WHAT I WAS
SAYING >> Jimmy: YOU COULDN'T HAVE WRITTEN THIS TEN YEARS AGO
>> NO, NOT AT ALL. NOT AT ALL JUST THE AMOUNT OF, YOU KNOW,
REFLECTION ON MY LIFE AND EVEN IN THE PROCESS OF READING, YOU KNOW
I MEAN, IN THE PROCESS OF WRITING. IT IS REALLY GREAT TO ACTUALLY
HAVE TO GO BACK THROUGH AND LOOK AT YOUR LIFE AND THERE IS SO MANY THINGS THAT WE ALL HAVE
THAT WE REFUSE TO LOOK AT. WE REFUSE TO TALK ABOUT. OUR FAMILY ACTS LIKE IT NEVER
HAPPENED YOU KNOW >> Jimmy: TRUST ME, I'M IRISH.
>> YEAH, YEAH. >> Jimmy: THANKSGIVING, LIKE, "HEY, WE'RE COOL, RIGHT?
>> "HEY, JIMMY, WHAT'S THAT UNDER THE RUG? >> "NOTHING.
NOTHING. [ LIGHT LAUGHTER ] JUST LEAVE THAT THERE.
PUT YOUR DRINK ON IT." [ LAUGHTER ] >> Jimmy: EXACTLY.
BUT, YEAH, ONCE YOU -- I GUESS ONCE YOU DO IT - >> BUT IT IS SO LIBERATING
IT IS SO LIBERATING TO BE ABLE TO JUST, YOU KNOW, PUT DOWN THE --
THE CHARACTER AND TO BE ABLE TO GO OUT INTO THE WORLD AND JUST LIVE AUTHENTICALLY AS YOU ARE,
YOU KNOW >> Jimmy: IT MAKES YOU, TOO, IT MAKES YOU ENJOY WHAT YOU DID
EVEN MORE TO KNOW WHAT STRUGGLES YOU HAVE BEEN THROUGH.
EVERYONE HAS A STORY >> YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. >> Jimmy: EVERYBODY DOES
AND SO, YOU GO, "OH, MAN, YOU MUST HAVE A BLAST IF YOU ARE DOING THAT."
AND YOU GO, "YEAH, I DID I HAD FUN. OBVIOUSLY, YOU TALK ABOUT THE
FIRST TIME YOU HEARD YOUR SONG ON THE RADIO >> YES, EXACTLY.
>> Jimmy: THOSE MOMENTS, YOU'RE LIKE -- I'VE NEVER -- WE'VE NEVER EXPERIENCED THEM
WELL, THE ROOTS HAVE BUT I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED MY SONG ON THE RADIO.
WHAT DOES THAT FEEL LIKE >> YOU KNOW, THE THING, YOU HEAR YOUR SONG ON THE RADIO FOR
THE FIRST TIME BECAUSE YOU HAVE HEARD IT YOURSELF, YOU KNOW, A THOUSAND
TIMES. >> Jimmy: YEAH >> AND THEN, I REMEMBER I WAS
IN MY FATHER'S SHOP. AND IT WAS A RECORD CALLED "GIRLS AIN'T NOTHING BUT
TROUBLE. IT WAS OUR FIRST RECORD. AND I REMEMBER SEEING A GUY GO
PASSED IN HIS CAR LISTENING TO THE RECORD I HEARD IT ON THE RADIO BECAUSE
IT WAS ON MY STATION INSIDE AND IT WAS LIKE IT'S IN THE WORLD. >> YEAH.
>> YOU KNOW? IT'S IN THE WORLD NOW. AND IT'S LIKE, IT IS SUCH A --
A BEAUTIFUL FEELING. BUT, YOU KNOW, I TALKED ABOUT IN THE BOOK WHAT HAPPENED IS I
HAD TOLD MY MOTHER -- MY MOTHER GRADUATED FROM CARNEGIE MELLON AND SHE WAS DEAD SERIOUS ABOUT
EDUCATION. AND IN HER MIND, IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE AN EDUCATION, YOU WERE
DEAD >> Jimmy: YOU DID IT WRONG >> YOU CAN'T SURVIVE IN THIS
WORLD WITHOUT AN EDUCATION YOU KNOW, SO WHEN I TOLD MY MOTHER THAT I WASN'T GOING TO
COLLEGE, IT WAS LIKE THE WORST THING THAT I EVER -- BECAUSE I WAS GOING TO DO
HIPPITY HOP, YOU KNOW. [ LIGHT LAUGHTER ] I WAS GOING TO DO HIPPITY HOP.
MY MOTHER, SHE WORKED FOR THE SCHOOL BOARD OF PHILADELPHIA, AND WE COULDN'T SAY "AIN'T" IN
OUR HOUSE, YOU KNOW. I REMEMBER ONE TIME I WAS RUNNING OUT AND I SCREAMED TO
MY FRIENDS, "YO, WHERE Y'ALL GOING TO BE AT?" AND MY MOTHER SAID, "UH-UH
HOPEFULLY THEY'RE GOING TO BE BEHIND THAT PREPOSITION. YOU KNOW
[ LAUGHTER ] [ APPLAUSE ] >> Jimmy: THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT
>> YOU KNOW, WHEN I TOLD HER I WASN'T GOING TO COLLEGE BECAUSE I WANTED TO RAP, YOU KNOW, IT
WAS REAL - >> Jimmy: SHE DOESN'T KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO BE WILL SMITH.
>> YEAH, YEAH. SHE HAD NO IDEA. SO MY FATHER LET ME HAVE A
A YEAR SO I HAD A YEAR THAT I COULD GO TRY TO DO RAP MUSIC, AND THEN,
AFTER THAT, I WAS GOING TO HAVE TO GO TO COLLEGE AND WITHIN THAT YEAR, WE WON
THE FIRST GRAMMY EVER GIVEN TO A RAP ARTIST, YOU KNOW [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
>> Jimmy: THAT'S HOW YOU DO IT, MAN. I LOVE IT.
>> YEAH. >> Jimmy: IT'S HONESTLY AWESOME.
>> TAKE THAT, MOM. >> Jimmy: NO, NO, NO, THAT'S
NOT THE POINT. >> I THOUGHT THAT'S WHAT YOU WERE SAYING.
>> Jimmy: THAT'S NOT THE POINT BUT I WANT TO -- I SAW A CLIP OF YOU TALKING WITH OPRAH, AND
SHE SAID, "THIS IS THE BEST MEMOIR OR THE GREATEST MEMOIR SHE'S EVER READ.
>> YES SHE SAID IN HER LIFE, TOO. >> Jimmy: YEAH
[ LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE >> YOU MISSED THAT >> Jimmy: THANK YOU, MAN
DON'T BE HUMBLE. >> NO, NO, NO. YOU KNOW, I'M JUST SAYING, IF
YOU'RE GOING TO QUOTE MISS OPRAH, QUOTE HER CORRECTLY [ LAUGHTER ]
[ APPLAUSE ] >> Jimmy: THAT'S A BIG DEAL, MAN.
THAT'S A BIG DEAL WILL TO HAVE OPRAH WINFREY SAY THAT >> NO, WHEN -- OPRAH IS LIKE
THE BOOK LADY OF THE WORLD, SO WHEN OPRAH LIKES YOUR BOOK, PEOPLE LISTEN.
>> Jimmy: AND SHE DOESN'T MAKE IT UP EITHER SHE WOULDN'T SAY THAT.
>> SHE WOULD NEVER SAY THAT, YOU KNOW SHE HAD ME CRYING.
YOU KNOW SHE MADE ME CRY. >> Jimmy: SHE'S GOOD LIKE THAT
SHE'S A PRO. >> AND I SAW MY BOOK AND SHE HAD IT MARKED UP
SHE LITERALLY HAD -- >> Jimmy: I SAW THE POST-IT NOTES.
>> ALL THE POST-IT NOTES INSIDE THE BOOK AND IT WAS -- YOU KNOW
>> Jimmy: IT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN MY BOOK >> YEAH.
[ LAUGHTER ] >> Jimmy: I TOOK ALL THE POST-IT NOTES OUT.
>> BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T LIKE HOW IT WOULD LOOK ON CAMERA, TO SEE ALL THE POST-IT NOTES.
YOU THOUGHT IT WAS UNPROFESSIONAL FOR MISS OPRAH TO HAVE ALL THOSE POST-IT NOTES
ON CAMERA. >> Jimmy: THAT'S WHY I TOOK IT OUT OF MY BOOK
>> WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF THE BOOK, JIMMY [ LAUGHTER ]
UH-HUH UH-HUH >> Jimmy: DOWNLOADING IT ON
AUDIBLE. [ LAUGHTER ] IT'S THE BEST.
IT'S SO GOOD OH, MY GOD WHEN WE COME BACK, I WANT TO
TALK ABOUT YOUR NEW MOVIE "KING RICHARD. MORE WITH WILL SMITH,
EVERYBODY. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE *
>> Jimmy: WELCOME BACK, EVERYONE WE'RE HANGING OUT WITH
WILL SMITH RIGHT HERE! [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE I WANT TO TALK ABOUT "KING --
KING RICHARD." >> RICHARD, YEAH >> Jimmy: YOU'RE AMAZING IN
THIS MOVIE, AND YOU'RE GETTING A LOT OF GOOD BUZZ ON THIS CONGRATS
WELL DESERVED. >> THANK YOU >> Jimmy: BUT THIS IS -- THIS
IS NOT THE FIRST TIME. YOU -- YOU ARE PLAYING A REAL PERSON
>> YEAH. >> Jimmy: IS THAT EXTRA PRESSURE
BECAUSE -- >> IT IS TERRIFYING WHEN YOU PLAY A REAL PERSON THAT IS
STILL ALIVE AND YOU KNOW THAT THEY'RE GOING TO SEE IT. >> Jimmy: SEE IT
>> YOU KNOW. >> Jimmy: YEAH >> AND IT WAS BEAUTIFUL.
VENUS AND SERENA WERE -- WERE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY.
AND THEY SAID, YOU KNOW, THEY WOULD POTENTIALLY BE EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS AND THEY WOULD WALK
US THROUGH THE WHOLE PROCESS BUT THEY WERE GOING TO WITHHOLD WHETHER OR NOT THEY PUT THEIR
NAMES ON THE FILM UNTIL THEY SAW IT [ LIGHT LAUGHTER ]
SO THEN I GET THE CALL THAT VENUS AND SERENA ARE WALKING INTO THE THEATER TO SEE THE
FILM AND IT'S LIKE -- IT'S THE WORST TWO HOURS EVER
[ LAUGHTER ] THE WORST TWO HOURS. >> Jimmy: YOU'RE LIKE, "PLEASE
LIKE IT. PLEASE THINK I DID A GOOD JOB. >> YOU KNOW?
'CAUSE YOU SPENT SO MUCH TIME CREATING THESE THINGS AND THERE IS LITERALLY ONLY ONE AUDIENCE
WHEN YOU DO IT I DID IT WITH -- YOU KNOW, WITH MUHAMMAD ALI
>> Jimmy: YEAH >> AND THEN WITH "PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS" AND "CONCUSSION"
WITH PEOPLE THAT WERE ALL ALIVE. >> Jimmy: YEAH
>> AND IT'S JUST -- IT'S THE ONLY AUDIENCE. AND YOU JUST HOPE TO GOD THAT,
YOU KNOW, YOU SPENT A YEAR TO TELL THIS STORY. >> Jimmy: DOING THE RIGHT
THING. >> AND YOU HOPE THAT THEY -- THEY LIKE IT
AND VENUS AND SERENA CRIED ALL THE WAY THROUGH AND THEY LOVED IT
>> Jimmy: LOVED IT, YEAH ONE POINT THAT I -- I HEARD THAT THEY -- THEY THOUGHT,
LIKE, IT LOOKED AND SOUNDED JUST LIKE THEIR DAD. >> THEIR DAD
YEAH, YEAH >> Jimmy: THEY WERE LIKE, "THIS IS CREEPY.
>> THIS IS LIKE, "THIS IS CREEPY." [ LAUGHTER ]
>> Jimmy: THIS IS LIKE -- IT'S LIKE, REAL IT'S, LIKE, FREAKING ME OUT.
LIKE, "THIS IS NOT REAL. IT'S A MOVIE." >> YEAH.
WHAT WAS REALLY INTERESTING TO ME IS THAT, YOU KNOW, WE ALL FEEL LIKE WE HAVE A PICTURE OF
RICHARD WILLIAMS AND IT'S THE CLASSIC OVERBEARING FATHER HAMMERING HIS CHILDREN
>> Jimmy: YEAH, YEAH >> BUT IN SITTING WITH VENUS AND SERENA AND THEIR -- THEIR
SISTERS AND THEIR -- THEIR MOTHER, IT WAS -- IT WAS COMPLETELY THE OPPOSITE.
HE WAS A LOVING, CARING, DOTING FATHER VENUS REFERRED TO IT AS THE
"JEDI MIND TRICK" THAT HE HAD SOMEHOW MADE IT SO THEY WOULD HAVE TO ASK HIM, "PLEASE,
DADDY. CAN WE PLAY TENNIS?" THEIR -- THEIR PUNISHMENT WOULD
BE THAT THEY COULDN'T PLAY TENNIS - >> Jimmy: YEAH
>> WHEN THEY -- WHEN THEY GOT IN TROUBLE AND IT WAS -- YOU KNOW, HE
ALIGNED WITH WHAT THEY WANTED FOR THEMSELVES MORE THAN DEMANDING WHAT HE WANTED FOR
THEM >> Jimmy: YEAH >> AND IT WAS A REAL LESSON FOR
ME AS A PARENT, YOU KNOW, RECOGNIZING -- >> Jimmy: WHAT YOU WANT.
>> THAT YOU WANT TO BE IN ALIGNMENT WITH YOUR KIDS VERSUS FORCING AND PUSHING AND
DEMANDING. >> Jimmy: TELLING THEM WHAT TO DO, YEAH
>> AND TELLING THEM WHAT TO DO IT WAS A -- IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL FAMILY STORY
IT WAS BEAUTIFUL >> Jimmy: I WANT TO SHOW EVERYONE A CLIP.
HERE'S WILL SMITH IN "KING RICHARD. TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.
>> I'M VERY CONFIDENT. >> YOU SAY IT SO EASILY.
WHY? >> BECAUSE I BELIEVE IT. >> BUT YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED
A MATCH IN ALMOST THREE YEARS. >> ALL RIGHT, HOLD IT RIGHT THERE, IF YOU DON'T MIND
LET ME TELL YOU WHY. >> RICHARD, WE'RE DOING AN INTERVIEW.
>> WHAT -- WHAT SHE HAD SAID, SHE SAID IT WITH SO MUCH CONFIDENCE

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE >> Jimmy: OH
JACK WHITEHALL >> HI! >> Jimmy: IT IS GREAT TO SEE
YOU AND BACK IN THE STUDIO >> BACK IN THE STUDIO, BACK IN NEW YORK
THIS IS AMAZING. >> Jimmy: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE
I APPRECIATE IT BUD. I WANT TO FIRST OF ALL CONGRATULATE YOU ON "JUNGLE
CRUISE." IT WAS THE BIGGEST HIT OF THE SUMMER
SO CONGRATULATIONS >> OH, THANK YOU VERY MUCH >> Jimmy: I HEARD THEY'RE
MAKING A SEQUEL. >> YES I THINK THE SEQUEL IS IN
DEVELOPMENT NOW. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED MAKING THAT MOVIE.
IT WAS SO MUCH FUN DUANE AND EMILY BLUNT ARE INCREDIBLE
>> Jimmy: DID YOU EVER WORK OUT WITH THE ROCK? >> I DID ONCE, YES
CAN YOU TELL >> Jimmy: YES. [ LAUGHTER ]
THAT'S WHY I WAS ASKING. THAT'S WHY I WAS ASKING! >> PHYSICAL TRANSFORMATION
A LOT OF PEOPLE ASK ME THAT WHEN THEY SEE ME LIKE, THIS GUY MUST SPOT THE
ROCK HE'S - >> Jimmy: YEAH
>> BUILT BUT AS HE HAD OBVIOUSLY SEEN ME AND REALIZED THAT -- DUANE AND
I HAVE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT PHYSIQUES. YOU KNOW, HE IS OBVIOUSLY QUITE
GENEROUSLY PROPORTIONED. AND I HAVE A BODY THAT LOOKS LIKE IT'S BEEN DRAWN BY
A CHILD. [ LAUGHTER ] SO BEFORE I ARRIVED AT THE GYM,
HE HAD GONE ROUND TO ALL OF THE MACHINES AND HE HAD TAKEN ALL OF THE WEIGHTS OFF THE MACHINES
SO IT WAS JUST THE BARS. [ LIGHT LAUGHTER ] BUT AS YOU KNOW, LIKE, EVEN
THOSE BARS ARE PRETTY HEAVY. [ LAUGHTER ] >> Jimmy: OH, COME ON.
>> NO, 'CAUSE THAT'S MY WORST NIGHTMARE, BEING IN THERE, LIKE, TRAPPED UNDERNEATH A BAR
IN FRONT OF ONE OF YOUR HEROES SO I WAS LIKE, DO YOU KNOW WHAT, I THINK I'M JUST GOING TO
TAKE THE EXERCISE BIKE IN THE CORNER >> Jimmy: YEAH
>> THAT ONE'S GOOD FOR ME. SO IT WAS SO SURREAL LIKE, HE'S DOWN ONE END OF THE
GYM, LIKE, EATING DUMBBELLS FOR BREAKFAST. CHAIN ROUND HIS NECK LISTENING
TO GANGSTER RAP. AND THEN, I WAS IN THE OTHER CORNER JUST TRUNDLING ALONG ON
AN EXERCISE BIKE LISTENING TO AN AUDIOBOOK [ LAUGHTER ]
JANE AUSTEN "PRIDE AND PREJUDICE. [ LAUGHTER ]
NO JANES, NO GAINS [ LAUGHTER ] >> Jimmy: YOU WORK OUT TO
JANE AUSTEN. >> YEAH! >> Jimmy: I WANT TO ASK YOU
ABOUT THIS BECAUSE NOW YOU HAVE "JUNGLE CRUISE," NOW YOU HAVE "CLIFFORD THE BIG RED DOG.
YOU'RE BECOMING LIKE A FAMILY SUPERSTAR, PEOPLE LIKE FAMILY MOVIES FOR JACK WHITE.
BUT DO YOU GET EXCITED WHEN YOU SEE A POSTER OR A TRAILER ABOUT -- FOR YOUR NEW MOVIES
>> OH, MY GOD. AMAZING. YEAH, I STILL HAVE IMPOSTER
SYNDROME AND FEEL LIKE SO LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO BE DOING WHAT I'M DOING.
AND I THINK WHAT'S GOOD IS THAT MY FANS, ESPECIALLY IN ENGLAND, ARE VERY GOOD AT SORT OF
KEEPING ME IN MY PLACE AND THEY DEFINITELY DID WITH THE "CLIFFORD" MOVIE BECAUSE,
BASICALLY FOR YEARS WHEN I WAS A STAND-UP, I DID LOTS OF JOKES ABOUT HOW I WAS AT SCHOOL WITH
ROBERT PATTINSON WHICH IS TRUE. WE WENT TO THE SAME SCHOOL, AND
I WAS VERY JEALOUS OF HIM FOR SOME TIME, BECAUSE OUR CAREERS SORT OF HAPPENED IN PARALLEL
AND WHEN HE WAS STARRING IN THE "TWILIGHT" MOVIES, I WAS AN OPEN MIC COMEDIAN IN PUBS
TELLING [ BLEEP ] JOKES TO 30 PEOPLE. [ LAUGHTER ]
AND MY MOM ALWAYS USED TO COMPARE THE TWO OF US. AND SO I BASICALLY JUST LIKE,
TRASH TALKED HIM FOR FIVE YEARS. >> Jimmy: YEAH
>> AND I WAS LIKE, YOU KNOW WHAT, I JUST NEED TO LIKE, LET THAT BE AND JUST NOT OBS -- NOT
LET ROBERT PATTINSON LIVE IN MY HEAD RENT FREE >> Jimmy: YEAH, DON'T WORRY
ABOUT ROBERT PATTINSON >> NO! NO, WHO CARES ABOUT
ROBERT PATTINSON I KNOW RIGHT NOW, IT SEEMS LIKE I CARE
>> Jimmy: WE ALL -- WE DO, YEAH [ LAUGHTER ]
WE ACTUALLY ALL REALLY DO, YEAH BUT YES, GOOD FOR YOU.
>> BUT I STOPPED IT. AND I STOPPED TALKING ABOUT HIM.
AND THEN, I THINK HE HAD THE LAST LAUGH BECAUSE A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, MY TWITTER JUST
EXPLODED WITH PEOPLE POINTING OUT THAT ON THE DAY THAT THEY RELEASED THE TRAILER FOR
ROBERT PATTINSON'S "BATMAN," PARAMOUNT PICTURES RELEASED A TRAILER THAT FEATURED ME
BEING URINATED ON BY A TEN-FOOT CGI RED DOG. [ LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
>> Jimmy: SEE, THE WORLD WINS. THE WORLD WINS EVENTUALLY, YEAH
>> WE'RE BOTH KILLING IT BATMAN AND THE DOGMAN JUST DOING THEIR THING IN HOLLYWOOD
>> Jimmy: BATMAN AND THE DOGMAN YOU WERE VERY NICE ENOUGH TO
BRING US PHOTOS OF YOU FILMING THIS FILM. AND, SO, IT IS A GIANT, BIG,
RED DOG. >> YES >> Jimmy: SO THIS IS -
>> YEAH, THAT IS WHAT WE ACTED OPPOSITE I KNOW, IT'S TERRIFYING.
>> Jimmy: THAT'S NOT THE DOG, BY THE WAY IT'S NOT THE FINAL CGI
[ LAUGHTER ] BUT THIS IS, WHAT? THESE ARE -- ARE THESE
PUPPETEERS >> YEAH. THERE WAS TWO PUPPETEERS WHO
OPERATED THIS. THEY SWITCHED AROUND AS WELL, SO NO ONE HAD TO BE CLIFFORD'S
ASS FOR THE WHOLE FILM [ LAUGHTER ] SO YOU NEVER KNEW WHO WAS GOING
TO BE IN THE FRONT OR WHO WAS GOING TO BE IN THE BACK EACH DAY.
AND, YEAH, THEY WERE AMAZING BECAUSE WE DIDN'T JUST HAVE THIS, AS WELL.
WE HAD OTHER, LIKE, CLIFFORD BODY PARTS FOR SOME OF THE CLOSE UPS.
THAT WAS THE WEIRD THING SO THERE WAS, LIKE, SOME GUYS THAT OPERATED CLIFFORD'S TAIL.
CLIFFORD'S TONGUE, WHICH WAS LIKE SOMEONE'S ARM, AND LIKE THIS BIG RUBBER PROP THAT
LICKED PEOPLE, WHICH IS VERY DISCONCERTING. >> Jimmy: YEAH
>> THE WEIRDEST ONE WAS THE HEAD, THOUGH, BECAUSE THEY HAD A HEAD AS WELL, WHICH THEY USED
FOR SOME OF THE SHOTS. AND YOU HAD TO DO, LIKE -- THE LITTLE GIRL WHO PLAYED
EMILY ELIZABETH HAD THIS REALLY EMOTIONAL SCENE WHERE SHE'S SAYING GOODBYE TO CLIFFORD THE
BIG RED DOG, AND SHE'S ACTING OPPOSITE THIS GUY FROM THE PROPS DEPARTMENT WITH HIS ASS
HANGING OUT LIKE BENT OVER HOLDING CLIFFORD'S SEVERED HEAD ON A PIKE.
>> Jimmy: OH, MY GOD [ LAUGHTER ] >> IT IS TERRIFYING.
IT'S LIKE SOMETHING OUT OF "GAME OF THRONES." >> Jimmy: IT'S A FUN, FUN, FUN
FAMILY MOVIE >> I'VE REALLY NOT MADE IT SOUND PRETTY FUN
[ LAUGHTER ] [ TALKING OVER EACH OTHER >> Jimmy: IT IS.
AND SHE IS JUST -- >> SHE'S AMAZING WHEN YOU WATCH THE FINISHED
VERSION OF THAT SCENE, I WAS GOING -- I WAS GOING >> Jimmy: YEAH, IT'S EMOTIONAL
>> DID YOU -- DID YOU -- >> Jimmy: YEAH, OF COURSE I DID.
>> OF COURSE YOU DID >> Jimmy: YEAH, I'M AN EMOTIONAL GUY.
>> YOU'RE AN EMOTIONAL GUY WE'RE EMOTIONAL GUYS >> Jimmy: WE ARE
>> WE ARE. >> Jimmy: AND I DON'T CARE ABOUT ROBERT PATTINSON
>> NO. [ LAUGHTER ] NEITHER DO I
>> Jimmy: DO YOU THINK -- DOES HE KNOW I EXIST? >> OH, GOD, WHEN HE WINS AN
OSCAR, I'M JUST GOING TO JUST HIDE IN A HOLE FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.
[ LAUGHTER ] HE IS, HE'S GOING TO WIN AN OSCAR, ISN'T HE?
>> Jimmy: HE'S GOING TO WIN AN OSCAR. YEAH, OF COURSE HE IS.
>> MAYBE I'LL WIN AN OSCAR FOR "CLIFFORD. >> Jimmy: THAT'S WHAT I'M --
