[ cheers and applause ] i know this is a little off subject. first question, does anyone know where i can buy some linens and things? we have much in store for you this evening. the writer/director/star of a new movie, "chef," which i enjoyed thoroughly, jon favreau is here with us tonight. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: i saw it last night. it is about a chef played by jon, his ex-wife in the movie, sophia vergera and his girlfriend is scarlet johannsen, especially good at casting. also tonight we will be joined by a gifted, likable, pharell williams. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: your mother calls him purell williams. tonight we will find out what the hell he is so happy about. pharell, we will compete in the what we are calling the twofie shootout, you know what a selfie is, a twofie, you don't know, is a picture you take of

yourself and another person. you're either twice as obnoxious or half as obnoxious as selfies. either way, later on you will see us running around hollywood boulevard taking photographs with people who have no idea what is happening. by the way, even without pharell running around, the streets of l.a. were jam-packed today, because president obama is in town. he is here to buy the clippers. i don't know if you heard. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: the best way to do it. actually attended a big gala fund-raising event for the usc shoah foundation received an award from steven spielberg. spielberg bought him one of the world's best president statuettes from the souvenir shop next door. anyway -- when the president is in l.a. they close down a bunch of big streets. i don't know why. if steven spielberg planned it he would have e.t. pick him up on a bike and fly him in here. the traffic is very bad. so we are all sleeping over tonight. okay? [ cheers and applause ] >> guillermo: that's right. >> jimmy: wouldn't be the first

time for you. [ laughter ] you have a sleepover here some night. wouldn't that be fun? >> guillermo: a great idea. >> jimmy: would you be allowed, would your wife be okay with it? >> guillermo: she wouldn't be okay with it, but i would love to do it. >> jimmy: all right. i want to update you on the whereabouts of toronto mayor rob ford. last week, the mayor as you may know, put his re-election efforts on hold to go to rehab for substance abuse. he flew to chicago to presumably check into rehab there. for whatever reason he was turned away at customs. now only his family knows where he is. no one else knows where he is, the location of the rehab facility he its supposedly is in, out of respect for other patients. he won't say where he is. it is also possible he doesn't know where he is. the mayor did call a reporter from the toronto sun to give him an update.

he said rehab is "amazing" and that it "reminds him of football camp." in that he is tackling the other patients. there has to be at least a 9% chance that rob ford actually is at football camp. right? the mayor told the sun that he doesn't know exactly when he will be back to work. but he was adamant that he will return in time for elections on october 27th or at the least by the time the mcrib is back in toronto. so -- i hope rehab works for rob ford. i hope he goes through the whole thing. he claims that he is learning a lot about himself. he its working out every day. he is eating right. he told his brother he is planning to come back. a few pound lighter. and if you don't believe it. here is proof. >> announcer: he made a promise to himself. >> if i am not down at 30-40 pounds in the next six months. then i can eat my word. >> announcer: to lose weight. to get strong. and to take his fitness level to new heights. this summer -- he is running the greatest campaign of his life. >> i ran three miles today.

i'm tired but we are doing it. >> announcer: and facing his issues. [ bleep ] head-on. rob ford is -- "the biggest mayor." only on the canadian food network. >> jimmy: there's a canadian food network? i had no idea. is there a rehab you can go to if you are addicted to rob ford. because i think i might need to be checked in. meanwhile, the curious case of l.a. clippers owner, donald sterling and his female companion, v. stiviano, deepens. she is now reportedly being investigated on extortion charges for allegedly asking sterling for payment in exchange for not releasing more damaging audio recording. that is a no-no in this case. you know, blackmail is donald sterling's least favorite kind of mail.

he does not tolerate it. oh, thank you. good night, everybody. v. stiviano claims to have 100 hours of recordings of her conversations with him. which that is -- i have to admit, i don't think i have talked to any one person for 100 hours in my entire life. and i host a talk show. "the new york daily news" caught up with v. stiviano outside of her home yesterday, and while she didn't give any answers to any of the questions we did get to see what is perhaps her most ridiculous outfit yet. >> -- you are extorting mr. sterling? >> i have no comment. have a good day. why do you have so many aliases? why do you have so many aliases? >> jimmy: how is she not a member of the jackson family. like a power ranger going.

a high school in newport beach here in southern california, are causing some controversy. last week, a group of 40 male students organized an nfl-style draft to, to pick their prom dates. they ranked the girls at their school. and each guy took turns picking who would get to ask which girl to the prom. and these guys they went all out with this. they rented a venue. sport coats. a two minute clock like the nfl draft. imagine showing up at a girl's house. tell the dad, yeah, sir, i plan to take good care of your fourth-round selection. they drew random numbers for the draft. but they could pay money to get better picks. one kid paid $140 to get a first-round pick. obviously a lot of people were upset by this. the principal sent an e-mail to

parents over the weekend to say "it is not okay for any student to be objectified or judged in any way." which i think means she doesn't understand how high school works. because that's -- >> jimmy: reasonable. you know, i don't watch a lot of tv from jordan because i am a real american. i don't go for that stuff. i may have to start. this is from a jordanian talk show, two pundits i guess, were discussing media freedom. and the truth is i have no idea what they were discussing. fun to to watch them discuss it. [ speaking foreign language ] >> jimmy: ha-ha. looks like they finally opened an ikea in jordan.

this is an interesting study. a new report says that americans are wasting time at work by going online. i know, i couldn't believe it either. the report claims on average, american workers spend eight work hours a week fooling around on the internet. that seems low to me. i think we can do better. i think we can get it up to nine next year. but, you know, if you don't waste time online how are you supposed to learn 11 things you didn't know about jada pinkett smith. and i don't think being online at work is a bad thing. you do find great stuff. a video of a woman feeding her bull techlt rriers with jess and buster, and another with sausages, and this is what i believe darwin called, survival of the fittest. >> okay.

[ indiscernible ] >> jimmy: reminds me of you. remind me of you. [ indiscernible ] >> may the month in which we are already embroiled, happens to be mental health month. i guess the idea is to raise awareness of mental health issues. i am not ashamed to say i have -- i speak to a psychiatrist. i am ashamed to say what i tell the psychiatrist the i am not ashamed to tell you that i go. it is good to have someone to talk to. my guy is not your typical therapist. his name is arden. he is young. he is young. he helped me a lot. i thought it may be help for for those that have not experienced therapy of any kind. to listen in to sessions to see what it was like. >> when i was a kid.

there was a bigger kid that we went to summer camp with. he used to -- he would squirt mustard down my pants. and then he would call me mustard butt. and now every time i smell mustard i have to go in my room and cry. >> yeah. yeah, that's, that's kind of, yeah, that's a problem. >> here's the thing. this weekend i am going to a picnic. >> oh, my gosh. and there is probably going to be mustard there. >> jimmy: there is probably going to be mustard there. >> yeah. >> jimmy: probably a lot. >> and run down the block. and go into, go into your house and cry. >> jimmy: yeah. >> yeah. that's kind of sad. >> jimmy: yeah. what should i do? >> if i was you, i would tell your mom. >> yeah. >> and like have your mom talk to the guy who squirted the mustard. >> jimmy: it was many years ago. i don't even know. >> that's what i would do if i was you. >> jimmy: but i am saying this

happened like 40 years ago we don't know where this kid is. i mean, he probably doesn't remember that he did it. >> he is probably like -- 64 now. and he doesn't have a memory. >> jimmy: yeah. but i am worried about this weekend. i have to go to this picnic now. i know there is going to be mustard there. >> yeah. >> jimmy: not like i can call ahead and say, "hey, don't bring mustard to your picnic." >> yeah. oh, everybody likes mustard. duh-duh-dah. >> -- i didn't know about you and mustard. duh-duh-duh. >> it's like, like, i don't like mustard either. >> jimmy: really? >> yeah, i don't. >> jimmy: my god, i didn't know we had so much in common. maybe what i will do is when i get to the picnic.

>> ak shall -- actually you could just don't use the mustard. >> jimmy: that is a very good idea. >> yeah. >> jimmy: you are saying i wouldn't use the mustard. >> yeah. since, since you have to cry about it. >> jimmy: it is a great idea. >> and the mustard comes in a container, so you can't even smell it from there. >> yeah, you are right. >> yeah, because if you, if you held it in your hand it will be like, glob, glob, glob, and drip on the floor. >> people are always like -- buh-boo-buh-boo. >> yeah. >> i would be just like glo, glo, glo. >> no. >> i shouldn't be like glo, glo, glo. >> yeah, actually maybe you should. >> jimmy: i should be like glo, glo, glo. who should i say that to? >> yeah. your mom. >> thanks, pal. i appreciate that. i will see you next week. >> okay.

it's like -- it's like a mosaic. right? every piece is necessary in order to make, you know, the full picture. so if you take any one of the factors out, you don't have, you didn't have the completion. so for me, the song is one part of it. but the other 200-whatever-plus, 100 million views, those pieces are all of those people. all of those sales. none of that is me. that's all those people. >> jimmy: i have no idea what you are talking about right now. >> all right. the "happy" video. somebody was in there. >> jimmy: the "happy video." >> somebody. somebody said yes to me instantly. like sure i will do it. soc someone did a great job in there. >> jimmy: i will say -- >> you guys loved his dance

moves. come on! come on! i mean that -- i mean that was a moonwalk. >> jimmy: just a walk, really. >> fred astaire, bing crosby. >> jimmy: that was -- i don't normally dance unless i am very hammered. and i wasn't. when i heard the song, i was like this is a really great song. >> without hesitation you are right on board. >> i trust you. >> i don't care if this is an nbc product. >> jimmy: this is an nbc product. i didn't even know that. >> good. >> jimmy: did you write the song for the movie. >> yeah, i did write it for the movie. and getting back to what you were asking me. you know -- i was just trying to -- you know, you know, the proper way to explain it is to say that the mosaic i was referring to, and the other pieces, those are

people who are requesting and downloading and in many cases uploading video. and that, lifted the song to such a place to where it is not my song any more. just like this world movement. that's what i was saying thank you for. i was saying, look, you know, you say that i always, like shift the -- the attention on people. it any because, they're all necessary pieces to what happy becomes. >> jimmy: how many times have you be in here to the show? seven, eight times. nine times. >> kind of embarrassing. >> jimmy: not at all. but it is, you know you have been here with many other artists. i think only two, twice, probably the same, you are by yourself. >> yeah. >> jimmy: do you feel comfortable, i know you have been behind the scenes. >> i like this. i like this. i could get used to this.

>> jimmy: you have a song. and you know or you think, you said it is a great song. do you ever say, well i am not going to give that to somebody else. i am going to save that one for myself. >> i don't ever do that. >> jimmy: never. >> and then my managers really start, they have to set me down in advance. there comes a time. when you need to keep the song. that the world. i'm like, okay. >> jimmy: and you listen to them. >> and it changed my life. >> jimmy: that is a hard thing. hard thing to do. in a way you feel you are being selfish or a ham. >> it's hard for me. because i am a producer. right. but my managers are always reminding me that you are also an artist and you have to be that too. so i say i am a producer, artist. sound a little weird.

there are possibilities for people struggling with bipolar depression. ask your doctor about latuda, lurasidone hcl. in clinical studies, latuda has been shown to be effective for many people struggling with bipolar depression. latuda is not for everyone. call your doctor if you have unusual changes in mood, behaviors, or thoughts of suicide. antidepressants can increase these in children, teens, and young adults. elderly dementia patients taking latuda have an increased risk of death or stroke. call your doctor if you have fever, stiff muscles and confusion, as these may be signs of a life-threatening reaction or if you have uncontrollable muscle movements, as these may become permanent.

high blood sugar has been reported with latuda and medicines like it, and in some cases extreme high blood sugar can lead to coma or death. other risks include decreases in white blood cells, which can be fatal, dizziness upon standing, seizures, increased cholesterol, weight gain, increased prolactin levels, impairment in judgment, or trouble swallowing. avoid grapefruit and grapefruit juice while taking latuda. use caution before driving or operating machinery. there are paths to treat bipolar depression. ask your doctor if once-a-day latuda for bipolar depression is right for you. for savings options, visit latuda.com

little boy who plays your son? >> m.j. anthony. he is wonderful. >> jimmy: he is so good in the movie. >> i play a divorced dad. people in the food business and entertainment business. doesn't have enough time for his family. in his 40s. the family is falling apart. the kid doesn't see him enough. this movie isn't just about food, but it is about reconnecting with your family, your career, passions, family. a fulfilling personal story. first time going back to independent film, since the days of "swingers." and "maids." >> jimmy: there are no lasers in it. did you always know that you wanted to star, talking, about, you know, taking projects for himself. i was completely resigned to the fact that i could, you know -- pharell does, a lot of, satisfaction that comes from making other people -- their best. and to, to set them up with good material to direct them, frame them, discover people.

and honestly, it is really fun work. but the idea that i could actually be in a movie with these stars, and i could be a convincing chef. it is just been like a dream come true. it is, the most gratifying thing i could ever remember working on. i am so proud. >> jimmy: you should be. there are only a few, there are more, as far as i'm concerned. like the big night is a great movie. ratatoui, is a great movie. this one is right up there. i think everyone will enjoy. jokes, who know a lot about you will get. >> i'm one of the chefs. and in the food industry. the hollywood movies gloss over the rough spots. the language in the kitchen, the characters in the kitchen. it is really amazing. and i read lay late confidential by -- l.a. confidential by anthony bourdain, a pirate ship, putting on a musical. they have a sensibility. fascinating figures. chefs have vision.

passion. they're always balancing out, reviews, customers. business. and trying to, do something that would break new ground. i find them incredibly, a tremendous subject matter to me. >> jimmy: where do you stand on fried calamari right now >> it's good. italian. >> jimmy: yeah, a tough one. it's really good. on the menu at every single restaurant. >> well, well, well, that's what we deal with that in the movie too. there are certain -- >> jimmy: yeah. >> food trends. that you know, pay the bills. please the crowd. doesn't challenge the chefs. the mosaic. >> the mosaic. >> the mosaic. >> i love, whatever it is, i love it. and in theaters on friday. we'll be right back with pharell williams.
