  • >> Jimmy: WOULD YOU BE ALLOWED

  • TO TELL YOUR DAUGHTERS WHAT WAS

  • IN THOSE FILES?

  • THE SIZE OF THE CROWDS AT

  • TRUMP'S INAUGURATION?

  • [ LAUGHTER ]

  • >> I WAS -- I WAS THERE.

  • >> Jimmy: I KNOW YOU WERE.

  • >> I WAS THE GUY TRYING TO PUT

  • THE --

  • >> Jimmy: THE PONCHO ON.

  • WE NOTICED THAT, ACTUALLY.

  • WHEN YOU'RE PRESIDENT AND YOU

  • HAVE A PONCHO HANDLER.

  • WHEN YOU'RE OUT OF OFFICE,

  • YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN.

  • I WAS LOOKING AT DICK CHENEY

  • WHILE THAT WAS HAPPENING, HE

  • SEEMED TO BE ENJOYING THAT

  • PONCHO MOMENT.

  • >> HELPING ME WITH THE PONCHO?

  • >> Jimmy: WELL, HE WASN'T SO

  • MUCH HELPING YOU, SO MUCH AS

  • GLARING AT YOU.

  • JEB BUSH IS A GUY THAT I'M

  • FRIENDLY WITH.

  • I HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH JEB.

  • >> SO DO I.

  • >> Jimmy: WE E-MAIL FROM TIME TO

  • TIME.

  • HE WAS VERY KIND TO BE A PART OF

  • SOMETHING I DID FOR THE EMMYS

  • LAST YEAR.

  • I WONDER, BECAUSE I WAS THINKING

  • ABOUT IT, WITH MY LITTLE

  • BROTHER, LIKE IF I GUY WAS

  • SAYING THINGS ABOUT MY LITTLE

  • BROTHER, I'D WANT TO KILL HIM.

  • WANT TO BEAT HIM UP.

  • DID YOU EVER GET ANGRY AND HAVE

  • THAT KIND OF REACTION?

  • >> NO.

  • >> Jimmy: YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT

  • JEB?

  • [ LAUGHTER ]

  • >> I HAD BEEN IN A NUMBER OF

  • CAMPAIGNS AND, PRETTY WELL USED

  • TO THAT STUFF.

  • >> Jimmy: IT GOES WITH THE

  • TERRITORY?

  • >> YEAH, IT DOES.

  • >> Jimmy: THAT'S A MATURE WAY OF

  • LOOKING AT IT.

  • WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR NEWS ON A

  • DAILY BASIS?

  • >> "WALL STREET JOURNAL."

  • >> Jimmy: YOU READ THAT EVERY

  • DAY?

  • >> YEAH.

  • DALLAS MORNING NEWS AS WELL.

  • WHERE DO YOU THINK ROMO WILL GO,

  • BY THE WAY?

  • >> HE'S A DEAR FRIEND OF MINE,

  • BY THE WAY.

  • >> Jimmy: HE'S A DEAR FRIEND OF

  • MINE TOO.

  • [ LAUGHTER ]

  • I DON'T KNOW WHERE HE'S GOING.

  • REAL COLD IN DENVER, BUT YOU'LL

  • GET USED TO IT.

  • >> HE'S A WONDERFUL GUY AND HE'S

  • HANDLED THIS EXTREMELY WELL WITH

  • DAK PRESCOTT.

  • >> Jimmy: I THINK HE'S HANDLED

  • IT VERY WELL.

  • >> YES.

  • >> Jimmy: HE'S A GOOD GUY.

  • BUT THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT ANY OF

  • THAT STUFF.

  • LET'S TALK ABOUT THE PAINTINGS.

  • WHEN DID ALL THIS HAPPEN?

  • >> GETTING A LITTLE BORED.

  • >> Jimmy: ALL THE BRUSH HAD BEEN

  • CLEARED ON THE PROPERTY?

  • >> BRUSH CLEARED.

  • YOU GO A HUNDRED MILES AN HOUR.

  • NEXT DAY YOU WAKE UP AND,

  • GO GET THE COFFEE YOURSELF,

  • BUDDY.

  • [ LAUGHTER ]

  • AND SO I WROTE THESE BOOKS,

  • WHICH SURPRISED A LOT OF PEOPLE.

  • >> Jimmy: YEAH, RIGHT.

  • >> ESPECIALLY ON THE COASTS.

  • >> Jimmy: YOU WROTE LIKE FIVE

  • BOOKS.

  • >> THEY DIDN'T THINK I COULD

  • READ MUCH LESS WRITE.

  • ANYWAY, I WROTE AN ESSAY ABOUT

  • WINSTON CHURCHILL PAINTING AS A

  • PASTIME.

  • AND I SAID, IF THIS GUY CAN

  • PAINT, SO CAN I.

  • >> Jimmy: DID YOU AS A KID?

  • >> NO.

  • NEVER INTERESTED IN IT.

  • >> Jimmy: WHAT'S THE NEXT STEP?

  • >> I BROUGHT BUSHES AND PAINT

  • AND HIRED AN STRUCTOR.

  • >> Jimmy: DID YOU HAVE SOMEONE

  • >> I DID.

  • >> Jimmy: HAVE YOU BEEN TO THE

  • SUPPLIES STORE?

  • >> I HAVE.

  • >> Jimmy: ISN'T IT FUN?

  • >> YEAH, I ENJOY GOING.

  • >> Jimmy: AND HOW DO YOU FIND AN

  • ART INSTRUCTOR?

  • IS IT A CRAIG'S LIST KIND OF

  • DEAL?

  • [ LAUGHTER ]

  • >> FORTUNATELY GOT SOME ARTIST

  • FRIENDS IN DALLAS, AND A WOMAN

  • NAMED PAM SUGGESTED GAYLE, AND

  • SHE CAME OVER AND WE GOT STARTED

  • AND A PAINTED A CUBE.

  • >> Jimmy: IS SHE HONEST WITH

  • YOU, IF THERE'S SOMETHING SHE

  • THINKS IS NOT GOOD?

  • >> WELL, SHE STARTED OFF WITH

  • HER BODY LANGUAGE, MAKING IT

  • PRETTY OBVIOUS SHE DIDN'T VOTE

  • FOR ME.

  • [ LAUGHTER ]

  • >> Jimmy: I WOULD IMAGINE YOU

  • TURNED HER AROUND.

  • >> I'M SURE YOU CAN UNDERSTAND,

  • THE ART COMMUNITY WAS NOT

  • EXACTLY MY BASE OF SUPPORT.

  • >> Jimmy: YEAH, NO RALLIES IN

  • GALLERIES.

  • YOU STARTED OUT PAINTING

  • PRIMARILY DOGS.

  • >> YEAH, BECAUSE I CALLED MOTHER

  • AND SAID, I'M A PAINTER.

  • SHE SAID, YOU CAN'T PAINT.

  • AND I SAID, I DAMN SURE CAN.

  • SHE SAID, PAINT MY DOG.

  • SO I WAS A PET PORTRAIT PAINTER.

  • >> Jimmy: THEN YOU HAVE DOGS

  • DOWN, GRADUATE TO HUMANS?

  • >> EXACTLY.

  • >> Jimmy: HUMANS ARE HARDER THAN

  • DOGS?

  • >> DOGS DON'T REALLY TALK BACK

  • TO YOU.

  • >> Jimmy: DO YOU HAVE PEOPLE SIT

  • FOR YOU?

  • >> NO, I GO WITH PHOTOS.

  • >> Jimmy: DO YOU EVER PAINT

  • NUDES?

  • >> NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.

  • [ LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE ]

  • >> Jimmy: THIS IS TECHNICALLY A

  • NUDE.

  • THIS IS A SELF-PORTRAIT, YOU IN

  • THE SHOWER.

  • NOW, HOW DO YOU CAPTURE THAT?

  • DID LAURA TAKE A PICTURE?

  • WE

  • WELL.

  • >> WELL, I KINDA USED MY

  • IMAGINATION.

  • YOU CAN SEE, I MADE MY MUSCLES A

  • LITTLE BIGGER.

  • >> Jimmy: WHY NOT.

  • YOU HAVE ONE OF THOSE CRAPPY

  • SHAVING MIRRORS.

  • >> I DO.

  • >> Jimmy: SEEMED LIKE YOU'D AT

  • LEAST HAVE THE ELECTRIC ONE.

  • I DON'T KNOW, YOU'RE THE

  • PRESIDENT.

  • AND THIS IS A CLASSIC, SOMETHING

  • I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE FOR MY

  • HOME.

  • YOU PAINTED YOURSELF IN THE

  • BATH.

  • WERE YOU IN THE BATH WHILE

  • PAINTING THIS?

  • >> NO, I WAS IN THE BATH WHILE

  • PHOTOGRAPHING THIS.

  • >> Jimmy: I SEE.

  • >> AND AS YOU NOTICE, I LEANED

  • WAY BACK.

  • >> Jimmy: AND DID YOU TAKE THAT

  • PICTURE WITH YOUR PHONE?

  • >> YES, I DID.

  • >> Jimmy: OH, THAT'S VERY

  • DANGEROUS.

  • THAT'S ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS

  • THINGS ANY PRESIDENT'S --

  • >> YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY I DID

  • THAT?

  • I WANTED TO FIGURE OUT

  • PERSPECTIVE, AND PAINT WATER

  • HITTING WATER.

  • PLUS I WAS TESTING THE HUMOR OF

  • MY INSTRUCTOR.

  • >> Jimmy: GAYLE WAS IMPRESSED BY

  • THAT?

  • SO THESE PAINTINGS ARE OF

  • VETERANS, A COUPLE OF WHOM ARE

  • HERE IN OUR AUDIENCE TONIGHT.

  • >> YEAH.

  • >> Jimmy: A COUPLE OF GENTLEMEN.

  • INTRODUCE THESE FELLAS THAT ARE

  • BRIAN, WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR

  • LIKENESS?

  • >> THAT'S AN INCREDIBLE HONOR.

  • LOOKS GREAT.

  • >> Jimmy: IT DOES LOOK GOOD.

  • >> SO THE QUESTION, DOES

  • BRILLIANT'S MOTHER LIKE IT?

  • >> Jimmy: AND DOES BRIAN'S

  • MOTHER LIKE IT?

  • >> SHE'S HERE.

  • >> Jimmy: OH, DO YOU LIKE IT?

  • THAT'S YOUR BABY.

  • >> Jimmy: DO YOU HAVE THE

  • ORIGINAL PAINTING?

  • >> NO.

  • BUT I DO HAVE A BOOK.

  • >> GET THAT OUT OF YOUR MIND.

  • >> Jimmy: IS THAT RIGHT?

  • >> TRYING TO.

  • >> Jimmy: OH, GOOD, I'LL BURN

  • SOMETHING AND YOU CAN COME OVER.

  • [ LAUGHTER ]

  • I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FUN IF WE

  • DO AN ART DEMONSTRATION ON THE

  • SHOW, BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING

  • MORE INTERESTING ON TELEVISION

  • THAN WATCHING PEOPLE DRAW.

  • WHEN WE COME BACK -- IN FACT,

  • LET'S GRAB THEM NOW AND WE'LL

  • GET STARTED AND MAYBE WE'LL DRAW

  • EACH OTHER.

  • OKAY?

  • VERY GOOD.

  • PRESIDENT BUSH IS HERE.

  • >> Jimmy: ALL RIGHT, WE'RE BACK

  • WITH THE PRESIDENT.

  • SO, UM, YOU WANT TO SHOW YOURS

  • FIRST?

  • OR SHOULD I?

  • [ LAUGHTER ]

  • THAT SOUNDED DIRTY, BUT IT

  • REALLY WASN'T.

  • OKAY, LET'S JUST HOLD IT UP

  • RIGHT THERE.

  • >> Jimmy: YEP, THAT'S ME, ALL

  • RIGHT.

  • [ APPLAUSE ]

  • IF YOU'VE SEEN THIS MAN, CONTACT

  • YOUR LOCAL POLICE.

  • OKAY, SO I DREW YOU AND THEN IN

  • THE BACKGROUND THERE, I HAD

  • GUILLERMO, SO I COULDN'T HELP

  • IT.

  • >> THAT'S GOOD.

  • [ LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE ]

  • >> Jimmy: THAT'S BEAUTIFUL.

  • I THINK WE SHOULD GIVE THESE TO
