>> lou: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live"! tonight, from the cast of "oppenheimer" -- cillian murphy. emily blunt. and robert downey jr. plus rory scovel. with cleto and the cletones. and now, jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> jimmy: welcome, welcome. that's very nice, thank you.

hi. i'm jimmy, i'm the host. thank you for watching. thank you for joining us. i'm glad you did. you picked a good night to be here, that's for sure. can you feel the atomic energy in the room? [ laughter ] all the way from los alamos, the oscar-nominated cast of "oppenheimer," cillian murphy, emily blunt, and robert downey jr. are here. [ cheers and applause ] and don't worry, they left the nuclear waste known as matt damon at home. [ cheers and applause ] he will not be here. we don't let just anyone in here. this isn't a dunkin' commercial. [ laughter ] in washington, d.c., our worst and dimmest gathered for the annual cpac convention. cpac, for those who don't know, is a meeting of the right-wing nuttiest republicans. remember in ghostbusters when all the slime was running to one building? [ laughter ] basically that.

it's a who's who of who won't accept the results of the election. the speakers every year are your standard collection of roger stones and sloppy steves and flat earthers. with a few foreign dictators and accused sexual predators sprinkled in. [ laughter ] the bigly name today, the headliner was trump's daughter-in-law, lara, who is running for chairperson of the rnc and really has a way with the english language. >> never forget, ladies and gentlemen, it is always darkest before the dawn. d-o-n, darkest before the don. see what i did? >> jimmy: yeah, yeah, they don't but we do, we get it. [ laughter ] anyway, go on. >> i want my son to be proud of who he is. i want him to know that it's okay to be a patriot. it's okay to love god. and it is okay to grow up into a strong, masculine man. >> jimmy: that's right. strong, masculine man. just like daddy is.

[ laughter ] look at the rack on that dude. >> every night, eric and i have a tradition. we stop whatever we have going on and we go do bedtime with the kids. and while they say their prayers and the pledge of allegiance, of course -- >> jimmy: what a sweet memory for your children to share with their therapist years from now. [ laughter ] she sounds like something that would give you away as a foreign act. "then we do prayers and pledge good allegiance to american flag." "all right, boris, you're coming with us of " [ laughter ] the trumps, every night they brush the children's teeth with hot dogs and read them the lyrics to kid rock, and they go to bed, they sleep like babies. speaking of bedtime dr. ben carson was also at cpac. >> peaceful pro-life protesters and patriotic grandmothers who walked into the capitol on january the 6th are facing a decade or more in prison, think

about that. think about that. >> jimmy: that's his "i'm in a dream" speech. [ laughter ] they should put his face on a box of sleepytime tea. [ laughter ] not only is cpac a chance for people in red, white and blue track suits to see their favorite con artists in person. it's also a chance to learn at seminars run by the best in the business. >> ladies and gentlemen, up next -- putting our heads in the gas stove. please welcome former administrator of the environmental protection agency, andrew wheeler. >> jimmy: that's a real title. [ laughter ] "putting our heads in the gas stove." people signed up to see that. there are a lot of weird discussions at this convention. we thought it might be fun to see if you can tell the real ones from the fake. it's time to play, "real or fake cpac session." [ cheers and applause ]

i'm going to read the name of a panel. you guess if it's real or fake. ready? real or fake cpac session. "would moses go to harvard?" [ audience shouting ] >> jimmy: most say real and it is -- real. it is real. [ applause ] "straight white extinction." is that real or fake? [ audience shouting ] >> jimmy: let's see. that one is fake. we'll try another. "what you talkin' bout fani willis?" [ audience shouting ] >> jimmy: most everyone says fake. that is real. "tinkerbell culture: are fairytales making our kids fairies?" [ audience shouting ] >> jimmy: real? all right, well, sorry that one is actually fake. "illegally blonde." real or fake? [ audience shouting ] that is real. "cat fight: michelle vs. kamala."

real or fake? [ audience shouting ] you say it's fake? guess what it's real. "jagged little pillow: the rise of mike lindell." real or fake? [ audience shouting ] >> jimmy: that is indeed fake. we're going to get back to mike in a minute. he might be in more trouble than donald trump right now. although donald trump -- his maga-sty is scheduled to be the headliner at cpac on saturday. last night she showed part two of trump's fox news town hall during which he was asked about the notable absence of his future ex-wife, melania, on the campaign trail. >> she loves the country. when i do rallies, i have so many signs, we love our first lady. the people love her. they love the fact that she's not out there so much. a lot of first ladies, they want to be everywhere. they get angry at their house because he's not introducing them. if i didn't introduce melania, she'd be very happy about it. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: in other words, you will not be seeing melania any

time soon. [ laughter ] i actually got a shoutout from donald trump today. every time i do an interview now people ask me how much longer i'm going to do the show. i was talking to the "l.a. times." and i said i didn't know if i would go beyond -- i have a contract for another two years -- if i would go beyond that. this apparently caught the attention of america's most famous tangerine who "truthed," -- "they could get a far more talented person, who would also get better ratings, for 5% of what they are paying this loser" with a capital "l." and i've got to say -- that's a hell of a way to find out you're not going to be somebody's running mate. [ laughter ] [ applause ] i hope he never finds out, he has no idea how delighted i am by something like this. [ laughter ] i'm going to try to enjoy it because he probably won't be able to do this when they take away his phone in prison. [ laughter ] i'm really going to soak it in. meanwhile, president biden touched down in san francisco last night, and everyone hold your breath.

[ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: there we go. every time i watch biden go down a flight of stairs, i get the same anxiety you get when you watch your kid try to catch a pop fly. [ laughter ] biden, by the way, just canceled another $1.2 billion in student loan debt. [ cheers and applause ] which is a huge, huge number. especially for someone who went to college when tuition cost a sack of onions. [ laughter ] the big story about biden today is about his dog. have you heard about this? [ cheers ] according to cnn -- this is not a whoo type of situation. [ laughter ] joe biden's german shepherd, commander, was involved in far more biting incidents than was previously reported. turns out, commander bit secret service agents 24 times.

[ audience moaning ] which mean, even o.j. only struck twice. [ laughter ] 24 times is a lot. are we sure this was the dog, and not hunter turning into a werewolf? [ laughter ] since biden became president, there have been 24 full moons. [ laughter ] it got so bad, they had to send the dog to live with other members of the family. it's not at the white house anymore. you know, the trump administration actually had to deal with a similar thing after multiple staff members reported being bitten on and about the neck by rudy giuliani. [ laughter ] did they had to send him away. they had to put an extra lock on his coffin. just to be safe. our old pillow pal, mike lindell, is having a terrible black history month. [ laughter ] it's all kind of falling apart for mike. he even claims his autobiography is being banned. >> do you know my book is banned in every bookstore in the country? >> jimmy: no, i didn't know that. [ laughter ] but i thought you guys were for banning books. which is it? it's confusing. [ laughter ]

this memoir of his has been out since 2019. so it wouldn't make much sense if it was in bookstores. it's five years old. it wasn't exactly "the da vinci code." and the venn diagram of people who are, "a," interested in mike lindell, and "b," know how to read, it's a pretty small intersect. [ laughter ] in fact, it might only be one person. and that person is me. [ laughter ] i read his book cover-to-cover. by the way, pretty good. pretty interesting. i liked it. and then there's the ill-advised contest he ran. do you remember the "prove mike wrong" challenge? three years ago, mike offered five million dollars to anyone who could definitively prove that he was wrong about chinese interference in the 2020 election. of course, someone did that, almost immediately. a guy was like, "sure, i have a free half-hour," and he proved it. and now mike has been ordered to pay him the five million bucks. >> they're trying to put trump, you, and rudy in bankruptcy. >> you might all see the news this morning. another ruling came out of minnesota against me. $5 million.

which -- got to go to another appeal. a big distraction. waste more money. >> jimmy: poor mike. he still can't believe it's not butter. [ laughter ] he's that adamant about his beliefs. the ruling was handed down by judge john tunheim -- who is a very well-respected job. he got his law degree from jiffy pop haircut university. [ laughter ] not only was it a blow to mike financially. it also does not bode well for his new, "prove there ain't' a little man inside the atm handin' out the money" contest. [ laughter ] and yet, still, mike is out there screaming about the machines and promoting fellow election deniers. like this guy who is running for congress in arizona. >> damn durn birds are so darned angry -- howdy, i'm mike lindell. patriot, entrepreneur, and owner of a boat that's got ransacked nine times by minnesota game wardens. blake masters is an author, a scholar, and a real man who ain't afraid to tell a woman to shut her yap about equal pay.

thanks, toots. a slice of lemon meringue, too. it's the forbidden buy. b.m. is a heck of a good one. he's endorsed by donald trump, a man i love, even though i'm not longer allowed to get within 100 feet of. why he briefly supports the russian president voe load mere putin. he says the unabomber was an underrated genius. i'm a big fan of that guy's manifesto. read it every time i'm driving. ted didn't trust the government and hated machines, just like me. so vote for blake mcmaster peters and join the fight against gays marrying our kids and paying lady broads like a man worker. where's that durn waitress with the -- >> pait for by the commission to keep arizona a punchline forever. >> merengue! >> i'm blake masters and i

approve this message. sir, i love you. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: right. we've got a great show for you tonight. comedian rory scovel is here. and we'll be right back with the cast of "oppenheimer," [ cheers and applause ] cillian murphy, emily blunt, and robert downey jr.

[ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> jimmy: hi, there, welcome back. tonight, a very funny man. he has a new stand-up comedy special called "religion, sex, and a few things in between." rory scovel is with us. [ cheers and applause ] tomorrow night, we'll be joined by selena gomez and from "the bear," ebon moss-bachrach. both of them will be with us then. our first guests tonight are a talented trio from ireland, engl england, and america-land. each oscar-nominated for their roles in the explosive christopher nolan epic "oppenheimer." which is nominated for a lot of oscars. >> can you explain quantum mechanics to me? >> well, this glass. this drink. this countertop. our bodies.

all of it. it's mostly empty space. groupings of tiny energy waves bound together. >> by what? >> forces of attraction strong enough to convince us that matter is solid. to stop my body passing through yours. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: "oppenheimer" is in theaters and on peacock now. please welcome cillian murphy, emily blunt and robert downey jr. [ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> jimmy: welcome. [ cheers and applause ] well, this is a treat. thank you all for coming together. dare i say this may be the most sophisticated panel we've ever had here at the show? >> really? >> i didn't know you were

running a panel show. >> jimmy: yes, we made some changes. the president feels that some changes are needed in the show. well, it's great to have you here. thank you for coming. >> thanks for having us. >> jimmy: this is a movie that -- you know, did you ever see that billboard on cienega, how many hours until "oppenheimer" comes out? it started like 15,000 hours. it would count down backwards. i thought, well, i won't be alive to see this when it comes out. [ laughter ] but eventually it will come out. >> i don't want to say you're wrong right away. i was going to wait a minute. [ laughter ] but the countdown is actually to the anniversary of the trinity test. i, too, thought it was when the movie's coming out because all i can think about is movies. chris nolan actually had the clock ticking down to the anniversary of, i'll say it again, the trinity test. >> i like the way you said trinity. >> i didn't know that, interesting. [ laughter ] >> i have one fan in the

audience. >> jimmy: so chris nolan spent who knows how many tens of thousands of dollars on a billboard that in no way promoted this film. [ laughter ] interesting. >> high level. >> jimmy: here we are. >> that's what this panel's about. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: you guys have been doing -- i know you've been doing q&as, been at a lot of the awards shows whatnot. i just want to ask robert, i want to ask you something. you've been having a good time at emily's expense. you said the following. you said, "ignore emily, she ate a bad clam last night" at one q&a. "ignore emily, she's tripping on mushrooms" at another. "be easy on emily, she's had a weed gummy." "ignore emily, she's wearing a z-pack of rash cream." >> listen, here's the thing. this is going to be such low-hanging fruit. i've lost my voice. i sound like i've been raving.

i could be on a weed gummy, for all we know. >> how did you lose your voice because i was screaming at you to take a z-pack to your chlamydia. [ laughter ] [ applause ] >> it's like that. >> he would do this to me before every very serious q&a about this very important movie. >> jimmy: uh-huh? >> it just kind of set the right tone. >> jimmy: now you actually have something. >> now i actually have lost my voice, yeah. >> jimmy: i mentioned this long lead-up. then you guys, correct me if i have this wrong, on the premiere, at the premiere in london, it just so happened to be right when the writers' strike started. >> yeah. >> jimmy: you guys got up and left in solidarity with the strike. [ applause ] you left the premiere. we all know actors never leave a premiere. they always stay for the whole

movie, right? for sure. >> i think -- where did you go r, killian? >> in true irish fashion, i went to the bar. [ cheers and applause ] >> we went to the bar in solidarity. >> yeah. >> jimmy: did you go to the bar together in solidarity? >> i think a few of us went. even this one went. which normally, when downey goes to a party afterwards, you will do this thing -- what do you say when you proclaim that you're about to lead? >> i say, t-minus three minutes. >> then he vaporizes, he leaves so fast. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: countdown to the trinity test happens, and he's gone. how long were you at the par? >> we stayed till 4:00 a.m. >> it was a good night, yeah. >> jimmy: that is a really good night. >> yeah, those incredible eyes were like cookie monster by the end of the night. >> jimmy: was the thinking, now we don't have to get up in the morning and promote this movie? >> correct. >> jimmy: yeah, wow. made lemons out of lemonade there. emily, i know you brought your

parents to the baftas. >> i did. >> jimmy: your parents are lovely people. >> so cute. >> jimmy: were they -- how were they at the baftas? >> honestly, so cute. it was the first time i've heard them give each other proper compliments in years. it was amazing. dad was like, "darling, you look absolutely gorgeous" to my mom. >> jimmy: that's not typical? >> mom's like, "you look very trim, very handsome. >> jimmy: have they been at these awards shows with you? >> no, i think they came to the baftas years and years and years ago. they were great company. thrilled to meet people. you with my mom in an argentine tango. >> i saw her, "we're going to dance." >> she was thrilled. >> jimmy: i bet, sure. >> she met gotling, that was it. that was it. >> jimmy: interesting. >> i bumped into him on the carpet, "would you ever say hello to my parents?" afterwards she goes, "you know, you look really great in that white suit."

and i was like, hose yourself off. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: well, he's hard to resist. >> true. >> jimmy: i mean, certainly. so i think -- correct me, again, if i have anything wrong. this is your first time working with christopher nolan? >> yes. >> jimmy: you worked with christopher nolan on almost all his movies, right? >> i think michael caine has the record. >> jimmy: michael caine, right. >> that was -- this was the sixth one with chris. >> jimmy: will it be weird now when he does a movie that you're not in? [ laughter ] will you feel left out? >> don't say it. you'll cry. >> i don't mind. it means it can go to the cinema and really enjoy it without looking at myself, which i don't like to do. i remember seeing "interstellar." i'm not in that one. i really enjoy it. >> jimmy: you enjoy it less when you're watching yourself? >> yeah, doesn't everyone? >> jimmy: probably. there's a few people. emily, you like it --

>> actors don't find it as painful as you, maybe. >> i can tell you tens of millions of people loved watching you in this movie. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: where did you shoot the movie? what area did you shoot most of the film? >> it was all around. we shot a lot in new mexico, around lowell los alamos where the actual twinty test happened. we were in press ton, in los angeles -- >> jimmy: did you stay together? some of you weren't in scenes with each other. >> the first section, what was the area called? abaqui? we stayed in this hotel, it was a bit scary. >> jimmy: it was? >> every penny is reserved for the screen in a chris nolan movie. we stayed -- it kind of was like a cell block of little cabins. [ laughter ] i definitely pushed my suitcase against the door. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: is that right? >> yeah, like matt damon was there and josh hartnett and i

said, "if you hear me scream, i need all of you to come running." >> jimmy: did you test them? matt wouldn't have come running. [ laughter ] wouldn't even have rolled over. so you all kind of lived together in this community? >> i jetted in in a g-650 and stayed at the inn of the five graces. [ laughter and applause ] while killian was at the comfort inn. [ laughter ] i was getting shiatsu. >> jimmy: did you know that going in? did you size this place up, "yeah, i'm not staying there"? >> i knew my dry cleaning budget exceeded my salary. [ laughter ] going to have to come out of pocket. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: so that's the real -- i mean, that's why you get into the marvel business, because you don't have to stay at the comfort inn. >> that's right. >> what other kind of great digs did they have you put up at?

>> holiday express? >> holiday inn express, yeah. >> holiday inn express. >> that's better than holiday inn or a little worse than holiday inn? >> efficient. >> jimmy: was it efficient? was it what pleasant stay? >> chris and emma also stayed there. >> killian, you're so protective. such a good soldier. >> i feel bad. >> jimmy: they have to stay there if you're staying there, for sure. >> yeah, yeah. >> that's the example they set, though. they're willing to make as many sacrifices as they ask anyone else to make. which drove me crazy. [ laughter ] while i was antiquing in santa fe. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: we're going to take a break. the cast of "oppenheimer" is with us. [ cheers and applause ] we'll be right back. >> lou: portions of "jimmy kimmel live" are brought to you by "discover puerto rico." no passport? no problem!

[ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: that is robert downey

jr., cillian murphy, emily blunt, the cast of "oppenheimer" is here. how many oscars is the movie nominated for? >> i think 214? [ laughter ] 212? ? how much money did the movie make worldwide? i do actually know the answer. it's almost a billion dollars. >> yeah. >> jimmy: it's a lot of money. [ applause ] does that make it -- does that annoy you a little to think about that hotel you were in? [ laughter ] a billion. they could have carved a little bit out for accommodations, yes? >> i guess so. >> jimmy: yeah, yeah. you lost a lot of the weight for this movie. how many pounds did you lose for the movie? >> i'm not entirely -- i stopped kind of weighing myself after awhile. >> it wasn't registering on the scale? [ laughter ] >> oh, man.

i was -- you know. you can kind of tell by how the clothes hang and by, you know, how awful you feel. >> jimmy: can i ask you a dumb question? >> how low your skin hangs. >> jimmy: why did you lose so much weight? did anyone tell you americans have no idea what robert oppenheimer looked like? [ laughter ] we really do not know. you could have been 400 pounds, "oh, yeah, oppenheimer was a real fat guy." >> it's a good question. i -- i just thought it would -- he was very, very obsessed about -- not obsessed. he was insecure about his physicality. but you had this brilliant, this hugely strong mind in this really frail body. it was kind of useful. >> jimmy: i see, interesting. it helped you kind of get there? >> yeah, yeah. >> jimmy: what's the worst thing about being that thin? >> all of it. all of the it. i didn't enjoy any of it. i don't recommend any of it. i think it's going to bed

hungry, you know, i wouldn't do that by choice. i sound like tiny tim or something. >> ooh! and so cold, you were always so cold. >> oh, yeah, cold all the time. >> jimmy: because you have no body fat? >> yeah. >> jimmy: oh, wow. my wife is always cold, and i'm never cold. [ laughter ] and i finally figures it out many years later. oh, yeah, a thick layer of fat keeping me warm. [ laughter ] >> accordingly, matt damon played groves, and groves was quite rotund. and i don't know if matt really took it upon himself to gain the right amount of weight. >> jimmy: you think that's how he walked in the door? or waddled in the door? [ laughter ] or whatever he did in the door? >> are you guys still not getting along? >> jimmy: let's just say it's going to be awhile before we see eye to eye. >> do you know he is 92 l.a. >> jimmy: i heard. did you notice he's not here? [ laughter ] >> i did. >> he said he was tech avail. i don't know why you didn't

knock him on. >> jimmy: i get a notice from the tsa whenever he lands at l.a.x. so i can be aware. [ laughter ] so you're cold? >> yeah. >> jimmy: you're starving? >> yeah. >> jimmy: you're nude, also. cold, starving, and nude. [ cheers and applause ] which must have made you -- >> that's how we like him! >> yes. >> jimmy: do they warm it up for you? >> i remember the final sequence, the big kind of interrogation sequence, that's when he's losing his clearance right at the end of the movie -- chris liked to keep the ac on during the shoot, that particular part. >> jimmy: so that he'll spend money on. [ laughter ] >> yeah. >> jimmy: he keeps the ac on, why? >> i mean, i think because -- you know, the character's being humiliated, and he feels awful, and i was so hungry and so cold. [ laughter ] it kind of helped, i suppose. >> jimmy: i think you should tell chris this is your last movie together. [ laughter ] i really do. i think you've given enough. listen, he's a great filmmaker and all that stuff, but he's

abusing you. [ laughter ] it's too much already. i don't know if you guys know this, but -- well, as people are watching this right now, it is after midnight in the united states. and it's somebody's birthday today. emily blunt's birthday, in fact. [ cheers and applause ] >> i love it. i think you chose it. >> jimmy: i did not choose it. >> i do love my present. >> jimmy: my wife chose it. >> i thought so. >> jimmy: did you gentlemen get emily anything for her birthday? >> did you guys? >> jimmy: not to put you on the spot. [ laughter ] >> oh, i can't wait, i'm so excited. >> tomorrow. >> did you? >> you'll see. >> jimmy: you do have till tomorrow. you do have till tomorrow. >> i've already -- i've already got it. it's from your year of birth. it's easily going to be the best birthday present you ever [ bleep ]. >> jimmy: is that right? >> wow. >> jimmy: tell the truth this time. >> thanks, downey. >> jimmy: is it a z-pack of rash

cream? [ laughter ] >> i got you a voucher for the holiday inn express. [ laughter ] [ applause ] >> jimmy: that's very thoughtful. so many memories. >> perfect. >> jimmy: is it a situation where, like, on movies where you give each other a gift at the beginning or the end or during? >> we usually do wrap gifts but i quite like a start. i like to do it -- bookend. >> jimmy: nice. >> didn't get you anything but we didn't really have any scenes together. >> don't worry, i got myself plenty of stuff. [ laughter ] >> she got me a very nice pillow. >> jimmy: a pillow? >> i felt at the holiday -- no knock on the holiday express pillows but -- >> so much for the endorsement. [ laughter ] >> i just felt cillian needed more than food, sleep on this movie. i got him this very beautiful pillow that i'm obsessed with these pillows. it's a hastings pillow. >> jimmy: yes, i've heard of those, yeah. >> i gave him this pillow. it turned out -- do you mind if i tell the story?

>> i mean, you're gonna. [ laughter ] he was really luxuriating in this pillow one night. and he woke up in the middle of the night -- this is what he told me the next day -- and he went to fluff himself back down in the pillow, misjudged where it was. the cool side, flipped it. cool side. and smashed his head open on the bedside table. >> jimmy: this is during shooting? >> they had to glue his head shut. >> jimmy: they glued your head shut? >> great head gluer. >> jimmy: i was a bit shocked. you know? i mean, i was having a great sleep. i have this amazing pillow. then i just -- it was a strange bed. strange table. bang. >> jimmy: did you finish the night's sleep, or did you get up and seek medical attention at that point? >> well, we getting up at the -- like getting up before it was bright, like 2:00 a.m. or something, 3:00 a.m. i called her then, i just came

in, she glued my head and covered it up and you don't see it in the movie, i think. >> jimmy: did you make a noise? did matt damon come running to your room? [ laughter ] one more matt damon thing. this is very, very interesting. >> matt damon told me that cillian is the worst dinner companion imaginable. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: i don't blame you. i really don't. what kind of a rude, insensitive -- >> they keep making memes out of cillian. >> oh, man. >> he doesn't mask it. he just doesn't mask it. >> jimmy: this is a person who probably doesn't know how to operate a spoon saying you're the worst dinner guest? >> he wasn't with is the cookie

monster night. he hasn't seen him rage. >> jimmy: do you rage? >> yeah, yeah. >> jimmy: oh, you do? >> go on, say it. [ laughter ] >> i like a drink occasionally. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: but do you rage? >> yeah. >> i mean, i'm nearly 50, man, i can't rage anymore at that age. >> he rages. >> jimmy: you raged? >> yeah. >> jimmy: all right. next time, maybe we rage rather for "oppenheimer 2," we'll rage. >> yeah! >> jimmy: well, it's very good to see you guys. thank you so much for coming. i'll see you all at the oscars. >> we can't wait. >> jimmy: we are looking forward -- >> how are you feeling about it? >> jimmy: i'm feeling fine, i'm feeling warm. >> you're going to host the heck out of it. >> jimmy: we'll see.

louisiana week in los angeles require took my daughter to her first concert, which is tool.

[ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: can you tell us anything about it? >> this is probably my first time being in a situation where i don't know what i'm allowed to share about something like that. all i know is i don't want to piss off larry david in any way sweefr. >> jimmy: you probably did anyway, he was probably mad about something, you just don't even know it yet. >> yeah. i did do a ukrainian accent.

[ laughter ] >> jimmy: that's good, that's good. >> no, i'm in an episode. i'm in a scene. they improvise heavily. i have to say it's very bizarre to get to a set and constantly want to reference a script to see what you're supposed to do, and everyone's like, "we don't know." there's no words for you to specifically say. okay, great. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: did you have a scene with larry? can you tell us that? >> he might have been there. >> jimmy: he might have there. i did the show, i was very nervous about it. and of course, as you said, there's really just the very basic framework. >> there's nothing, yeah. >> jimmy: i was trying to do my best in the framework. i wouldn't say larry told me what i should be doing, but he definitely told me what i should not be doing. >> yeah. i might have had that. >> jimmy: a whole bunch of times. >> i might have had some notes. >> jimmy: you had that? >> yeah, yeah, yeah. you take them instantly. >> jimmy: of course, instantly, there's no argument whatsoever. >> yes, sir. yes, sir. sorry. >> jimmy: you -- >> he was great. >> jimmy: you have this new stand-up comedy special.

[ laughter ] and she said it so quickly that i -- at first i was a little hurt, then i was like, oh, yeah, that would be so weird if you liked it. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: i love that you're at the point where you introduce tool to your in-laws.

[ laughter ] >> yeah, yeah. i'm trying to get them to go to the concerts. it's all about backstage passes. is more people i bring, we've got a party going backstage. >> jimmy: your wife and in-laws from there las vegas? >> that's right. >> jimmy: i'm from las vegas. >> i know. >> jimmy: that interests me. >> yeah. >> jimmy: is it -- >> you love las vegas? >> jimmy: sure, of course. you don't? >> i -- it's fine. it's a fine place.
