-
I don't know why this is your first time here
-
but it is, and congratulations on everything you've done.
-
I'm a fan.
-
Thank you so much.
-
Nice to meet you.
-
It's a pleasure to meet you.
-
I just was saying backstage, I've
-
been doing this for 23 years and we've never met.
-
Not at a party, not on the show.
-
And I'm so thrilled.
-
I'm glad this is the way we're doing it.
-
Yeah.
-
So, yeah.
-
We have witnesses.
-
We have witnesses.
-
So you were in The Lion King, which did very, very well.
-
Yes.
-
Congratulations.
-
It made thousands and thousands of dollars.
-
Thousands of dollars.
-
And also, the premiere was in London, which was a big deal.
-
Yes.
-
We got to meet the royals.
-
You did?
-
We got to meet the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
-
Aren't they lovely?
-
They were lovely.
-
You know them.
-
I do know them, yes.
-
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-
It was great.
-
What was the conversation?
-
I shook their hands, and I was freaking out mostly
-
because there was all this protocol.
-
And so you get this email that says,
-
you must stand at this particular spot.
-
Your mate will stand feet three feet behind you,
-
directly behind you.
-
When you shake his hand, you will shake the hand
-
and bend at the waist.
-
You genuflect.
-
I'm just like, oh gosh, there's all these rules.
-
So when we finally got to do the conversation,
-
I was try to follow the rules, I kind of like--
-
I kind of was just like, I'm supposed to shake the hand,
-
and he was just ready to hug.
-
Yeah.
-
And so we just kind of did pleasantries.
-
His wife worked on a television show with me
-
my wife's good friend Doug Liman.
-
So we talked about that.
-
Meghan was on show with him.
-
Yeah.
-
They're so lovely, and they're so pleasant.
-
Yes, they are.
-
And they kind of moved on down the line.
-
They were saying hi to everybody.
-
I was like, OK, I followed all the rules.
-
Then they get to Seth Rogen. He's like, 'sup, dude,
-
how's it going?
-
[LAUGHTER]
-
Just jumped in there.
-
I was like, I could've done that.
-
I didn't know there was protocol either.
-
I had no idea.
-
Yeah.
-
Yeah, we had this long list.
-
I was like, oh God, OK.
-
And we have another-- we have a mutual friend in Drew Brees.
-
Yes.
-
Yes.
-
Now how do you know Drew?
-
Drew Brees worked on a project with me for the Pro Bowl
-
a couple of years ago.
-
And his wife and my wife have become really fast friends.
-
So that's been a wonderful thing.
-
Brittany is great.
-
Brittany's the best, yeah.
-
And then we kind of--
-
I'm a huge New Orleans fan and--
-
[CHEERS]
-
Yeah.
-
New Orleans, yeah.
-
Who dat?
-
And so we started becoming friendly,
-
and we started spending time at events together,
-
and just became fast friends.
-
And he is quite a player.
-
And they're doing very, very well.
-
They're doing well.
-
Yeah, they are doing well.
-
Yeah.
-
I mean, he's recovering from an injury now
-
and the team keeps on trucking and winning.
-
Yeah.
-
Do you spend time in New Orleans?
-
Did you go to Mardi Gras or anything?
-
We did.
-
We were on a float.
-
We were on Harry Connick's float two Mardi Gras ago
-
and it was completely insane.
-
Because you're on the float for four hours and you're tossing.
-
And we were the first float on that particular parade.
-
So you're the ones, the first people to be tossing the beads.
-
And the people are rabid.
-
They're just out there.
-
There's a guy like, over here, kid!
-
Throw it over here!
-
And I tossed some beads and then he picked his baby up
-
and it was like the bead went like around.
-
Like a ring toss.
-
It was like a ring toss baby.
-
And then they'll say, do you have coins?
-
Do you have coins?
-
And you're tossing coins over the side
-
and there's just like a battle royale in the middle
-
of the street to grab the coins.
-
It was crazy.
-
Yeah.
-
You're doing this for four hours, right?
-
You're doing this for four hours.
-
You're not thinking about it.
-
You're just tossing.
-
Have a good time, everybody's waving.
-
And the next morning you wake up, and you get out of bed
-
and you're like, [SCREAMS]
-
Move your right arm like three inches, you're like,
-
what is going on?
-
And then you realize the night before-- if I had just
-
taken a bottle of Advil and half a tube of Bengay
-
the night before, I would have been in better shape.
-
I would imagine, yeah.
-
I don't think about that part of it.
-
But, yeah.
-
I mean, I grew up in New Orleans.
-
So when you're scrambling for plastic beads,
-
when you think that they are everything, or those doubloons.
-
The doubloons.
-
But they're not really gold, guys.
-
No, they're just doubloons.
-
And you know, kids are scrambling
-
and getting stepped on.
-
It's a dangerous situation.
-
It's like a blood sport out there.
-
It really is.
-
So Jordan Peele, obviously you know him very well.
-
He's doing all these scary movies now.
-
Are you going to be in a scary movie?
-
If Jordan wanted me to do a scary movie I would 100% do it.
-
Really?
-
[APPLAUSE]
-
Why have you not done that yet?
-
I haven't done a scary movie with Jordan
-
yet because I'm afraid that he might ask me to do
-
a movie that has spiders in it.
-
Are you scared of spiders?
-
Horribly arachnophobic.
-
Like, I can't do the spider thing.
-
I said-- if he ever came to me and said, "All right, I
-
have a spider movie," I would say, "OK, spider movie?
-
I've got three letters for you--
-
CGI."
-
Right.
-
Then I would do it.
-
Because they can do that.
-
Yes, they can do that now.
-
They can have spiders crawling all over my face.
-
But that's my thing.
-
Yeah.
-
If I see a cobweb I faint.
-
Oh, no.
-
I'm really bad with spiders.
-
Well, spiders are kind of everywhere.
-
Like literally, you can't really do anything
-
without having a spider--
-
[SCREAMING]
-
[BLEEP]
-
[APPLAUSE]
-
Now you're over your fear of spiders.
-
I'm done.
-
All right, I'm gonna make that movie.
-
Yes.
-
All right.
-
We have to take a break.
-
We'll be back.
