  • Hi, my friend.

  • How are you?

  • I'm good.

  • How are you?

  • It's so good to see you always.

  • It's good.

  • I don't see you enough.

  • I'd like to see you more often.

  • I love Ellen.

  • I love Ellen.

  • I love you.

  • [CHEERING]

  • I love you.

  • And yet, I had the opportunity to go to your house

  • and hang out with you.

  • And I didn't go.

  • Yeah.

  • You didn't come to that party.

  • Yeah.

  • Because it was like after 10:00.

  • [LAUGHTER]

  • Everybody went around 11 o'clock at night.

  • Yeah.

  • Well, I couldn't go, because we had the baby.

  • And she was breastfeeding.

  • So I couldn't go.

  • I was in the house, anyway.

  • Right.

  • So I went to this party.

  • And there were about 20 of us.

  • And Eddie couldn't go, because he just had the baby.

  • And then he told everyone to come to his house afterwards.

  • And so everybody went.

  • And everyone came but Ellen.

  • Everyone.

  • Aw.

  • And I heard how great it was.

  • And you have like an arcade there.

  • Tig Notaro was playing--

  • Yeah, yeah.

  • --basketball in there.

  • But you had just had the baby.

  • You're like me.

  • You don't like to leave the house.

  • I'm a homebody.

  • Right.

  • Except lately, you're not a homebody.

  • Now, you're doing all kinds of things.

  • You're about to host Saturday Night Live, which

  • is going to be so exciting.

  • [CHEERING]

  • That's going to be--

  • are you excited?

  • Yeah, I am.

  • But why now after all of these years?

  • I kind of wanted to go back after-- they

  • had the 40th anniversary thing a few years back.

  • And when I went there, and I saw everybody,

  • and I saw all of the other actors, and actresses,

  • and the people, and the crew, I got this big burst

  • of nostalgia.

  • And I started feeling like, oh, I want to go back.

  • So I've been wanting to go back there since then.

  • We only wanted to go at the right time, though.

  • And Dolomite made it the perfect time.

  • Because we've got a funny movie.

  • Right.

  • [INAUDIBLE]

  • Yeah.

  • We're going to talk about--

  • I wanted to show up there.

  • Yeah.

  • We'll talk about Dolomite.

  • But if you haven't seen My Name Is Dolomite, it's fantastic.

  • And you're incredible in it.

  • Oh, thank you.

  • I think you're going to get nominated for an Oscar,

  • for sure.

  • [CHEERING]

  • So now, Tom Hanks has this Mr. Rogers movie out.

  • And you had this character Mr. Robinson,

  • right, that you did on Saturday Night Live.

  • And I heard you met Mr. Rogers when you were doing it.

  • Yeah.

  • I met him at NBC, and he was really nice.

  • Well, sure, he was Mr. Rogers.

  • Yeah.

  • [LAUGHTER]

  • I think he liked what we were doing.

  • Because, you know, we weren't making fun of him.

  • Right.

  • You know?

  • Right.

  • So will you do--

  • Because I love Mr.-- there.

  • Look.

  • Yeah.

  • He was the sweetest man.

  • Yeah.

  • Look how big my nose was.

  • [LAUGHTER]

  • That's not a good angle.

  • Yeah.

  • I don't think the nose--

  • No.

  • You know what It is?

  • I have a thicker mustache now.

  • So actually, it's the same nose.

  • This is camouflage.

  • Yeah.

  • [LAUGHTER]

  • Since this is longer, this looks shorter.

  • Yeah.

  • I say smart you figured that out.

  • Yeah.

  • You didn't have that knowledge back then.

  • Well, years and years of seeing photos and going,

  • is that my nose?

  • [LAUGHTER]

  • I'm very excited about everything

  • that you have going on, especially

  • since you are such a homebody.

  • You just finished Coming to America 2.

  • Yes.

  • How great is that?

  • [CHEERING]

  • Yes.

  • I couldn't be happier with how it turned out.

  • Yeah?

  • Yeah.

  • Because that movie more than any picture that I've done--

  • I don't know what it is in the culture-- where

  • like on Halloween, some people get dressed up

  • as characters from the movie.

  • So a lot of people that had this expectation, were like,

  • you know, don't--

  • people would say to me when they found out I was doing it,

  • don't [BLEEP] that movie up.

  • Don't mess with it.

  • And I would say, what?

  • So we've gone above and beyond what anybody would think.

  • I'm really, really happy with it.

  • That's fantastic.

  • That's great to hear.

  • But you do all of these characters.

  • And that seems like such a hassle

  • to be in all of that makeup.

  • I mean, how many hours are you in makeup

  • to do all of those characters?

  • How many characters do you do in that film?

  • In this new one?

  • Yeah.

  • Well, I have all of the old characters

  • from the first one-- the old Jewish guy,

  • and the barber, and the prince, and Randy Watson.

  • And now, I do this--

  • [LAUGHTER]

  • --an old farmer I'm doing, so maybe it's five or six now.

  • Wow.

  • Do you like doing that, sitting in--

  • You know, every time I do a makeup movie,

  • I always say, this is the last time I'm doing this [BLEEP]..

  • [LAUGHTER]

  • And then I always wind up back in the makeup chair.

  • Do you forget you say that?

  • No.

  • Just something that-- I say I'm never doing it again.

  • And then something will happen years later

  • where it kind of makes sense to do it.

  • It was like-- So I'm never doing it again, now.

  • All right.

  • Well, we'll show you this tape.

  • So, as we just mentioned, you have this new baby,

  • who is now a year old, right?

  • My new son, yes.

  • Yeah, is a year old.

  • And you have 10 children.

  • Yes.

  • 10 children.

  • See the reaction when you say--

  • [LAUGHTER]

  • Does it seem like a lot to you, or does that seem OK?

  • No, it seems OK.

  • It's funny the reaction the audience gives.

  • Yeah.

  • Men kind of look at me like this, he's crazy.

  • How much does that [BLEEP] cost?

  • [LAUGHTER]

  • And women is kind of like, there's something

  • sexy about it, I think.

  • Yeah.

  • Eddie Murphy must be doing his thing.

  • Yeah.

  • [LAUGHTER]

  • You're doing your thing.

  • Eddie Murphy be getting it in.

  • Yeah, yeah.

  • [LAUGHTER]

  • He don't be [BLEEP].

  • Well, it is a lot, and especially they're

  • ages like 1 to like 30, right?

  • Yeah.

  • My oldest is 30, and my youngest is 1.

  • And I just had my first grandchild.

  • Oh, congratulations.

  • [CHEERING]

  • That's fantastic.

  • Oh, there they are.

  • There they are.

  • And how do you feel about having a grandchild?

  • I like it.

  • Yeah?

  • I'm happy with it.
