i'm ama daetz. dan: >> lou: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live"! tonight -- robert pattinson. foo fighters. and music from fire city funk. and now, jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> jimmy: hi, everyone. that's very nice. thank you, guys. well, that's very nice. i'm jimmy, i'm the host. thanks for watching. thanks, all you guys, for joining us. i can see that -- i don't know, i feel like -- [ cheers and applause ] i'm feeling a little hint of

that twilight fever i used to feel from time to time. it was a big day for football fans here in los angeles. today was the victory parade for the super bowl champion los angeles rams. [ cheers and applause ] we've won a lot of titles over the last 16 months. lakers, dodgers. this is the first parade we've been able to have because of covid. so this time, the fans were ready to party. >> well, you know what, mikaela, sometimes these types of events are going on, we are jealous all the energy and the crowds - and the fans, in this case. what's going on? we can tell you that just in the last 30 minutes, things have really changed out here on figueroa. fans are really starting to file in there. a lot of people, a lot of blue and gold jerseys going on. they are funneling in. but there are still a lot of seats available. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: yeah, a lot of seats available. [ cheers and applause ] to be fair, it was about an hour before the parade started. more people did show up, but not as many as they made room for.

honestly, i think there were more football fans on the street cheering for o.j. duringthe chase than at the parade. [ laughter ] not only did the rams get a parade, they re-did the hollywood sign. especially for them. they changed it from "hollywood" to -- well, it was supposed to say "rams house," but it looks more like "ramshwose." [ laughter ] this is a weird city. somehow, we were able to make "star wars" but we couldn't get that right. [ laughter ] the crowds are expected to be large at the coachella music festival in april. after a two-year hiatus, coachella is back and the masks are coming off. ticketholders will not be required to wear masks or show proof of vaccination or a negative test. they posted this on their website -- "there is an inherent and elevated risk of exposure to covid-19 in any public place or blah, blah, blah, no guarantee, express or implied that those attending the festival will not be exposed to covid-19." with that said, give it up for doja cat! [ laughter ]

[ cheers and applause ] i don't know, look at it this way. you go to coachella, things go badly, you can make that flower crown into a funeral wreath. [ laughter ] according to a new pew research poll, americans have much less confidence in scientists than than we did before the pandemic began. only 78% of adults say they have a "fair amount" of confidence in scientists. that's down from 87% in january of 2019. unbelievable. this is like falling out of a plane and having less confidence in parachutes. [ laughter ] republicans, as you may have guessed, trust medical science the least. down 22 points to 66%. and for that, we can thank the man who made america great again, donald trump. i mentioned last night, trump was dumped by his longtime accounting firm. mazars cut ties with trump, and yet his ties are still a good four inches too long. [ laughter ] because of this investigation that's going on in new york.

and whenever there is a story about trump's finances, that is what really gets under his rind. he fired back with a four-page response. this response is the longest thing he's written since he threatened to sue gritty for stealing his look. [ laughter ] trump wrote at length -- "we have a great company with fantastic assets that are unique, extremely valuable and, in many cases, far more valuable than what was listed in our financial statements." only donald trump would defend himself against charges that he overvalued his assets by re-overvaluing his assets. [ laughter ] he also lashed out at the new york attorney general and d.a., who happen to be black, he wrote, "after five years of constant bombardment, this political and racist attack must stop." now that's a good one. rich white guy claiming racism. you almost have to hand it to him. that's like hawaii claiming tourism. [ laughter ] that's ridiculous. trump is also somehow working hillary clinton into this. "why isn't law enforcement and

the fake news media, which has been so destructive to our country, looking into the fact that hillary clinton and her minions got caught spying into the office of the president of the united states, a crime so grave that it once called for the death penalty as punishment if caught. it doesn't get any worse than that!" that's the big new "bombshell" the wingnuts are pushing now, that hillary was spying on the white house. i doubt hillary even knows how to use her telephone. [ laughter ] they claim that someone related to the clintons paid a tech company to connect to servers in the white house. what the hannitys and company fail to mention is that the time frame in this alleged act of treason is from when obama was president. not trump. somehow, hillary anticipated that trump would be president and pre-hacked the white house, waiting for him to get in. [ laughter ] and now trump is suggesting she gets the death penalty for it. and not only is trump pushing this, rudy g. is back, claiming he knows all about it.

>> i think trump knew about it back then. i can't tell you exactly how but i know how he knew about it back then. there's a lot more to come out. this is not -- i mean, what you're -- they made feel that it's gobbledygook, but it's gobbledygook sported by a thousand pieces of evidence, none of which have been revealed yet. i happen to have it in my bedroom. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: yeah. maybe you ladies would like to stop by and check it out? [ laughter ] we could make a night of it. he has it in his bedroom. we may soon get a better sense of what trump was up to on january 6th. president biden has ordered the release of trump's white house visitor logs. once they fish them out of the white house septic tank. [ laughter ] trump has been trying to block the house committee from seeing the list by claiming executive privilege. i feel like the only thing we're going to learn from this is how often he ordered arby's on uber eats or something. [ laughter ] donald trump is not on twitter, he's banned from twitter.

but little don jr. is on twitter, and yesterday he gave his followers a sneak peek at daddy's new social media project called "truth social." he shared his father's first post on truth social. he announced, it's time for some truth! this is trump's first post. get ready, your favorite president will see you soon! exclamation point. and you may notice the new site looks almost exactly like twitter. [ laughter ] it took him who knows how many millions of dollars and a year to change a blue check mark to a red check mark. [ laughter ] basically, they made donald trump a pretend twitter to post on. that's what we should be doing. let him go nuts. build him a fake oval office and tell him he's president again. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] and everybody wins, you know? in other social media news, meta, which is the company formerly known as facebook, is changing things up. yesterday, ceo mark zuckerberg announced a new corporate motto which is "meta, metamates, me."

they're calling their employees "metamates" now. this is a term that was coined by a sign professor named douglas hofstadter. here he is seen wearing a shirt that says "i've never metamated with anyone in my life." [ laughter ] metamates. or as they're known in mexico, "meta-mah-tays." right? [ laughter ] why would they do that? you know what mark zuckerberg's problem is? he's never had a job. think about it, besides facebook, as far as i know, he's never worked anywhere. he never had a group of coworkers who could teach them not to call them "metamates" for no reason. and it makes sense. i mean, imagine you have a restaurant and you hire a new cashier, and this is how he looks at the customers. [ laughter ] you'd be like "sorry, i know it's your first day, but this is not working out." the big news here in hollywood today is that "baby shark," you know, the youtube video the devil unleashed on us? they're making a movie out of it. [ moans ] great news. because i think the problem most

parents had with the "baby shark" video is it wasn't long enough. [ laughter ] it will be released in 2023. so if you've been thinking about get along vasectomy, consider that your heads-up. [ laughter and applause ] in other viral music video news, tiktok has given a lift to an unlikely music star. maybe you've seen this. it's a teenager, a kid named zach, made a video in his car after uncovering a long-held family secret. >> i'm in my car. my dad put music in here, and i was enjoying it. i found out that he wrote it in the '70s. it's really [ bleep ] good, listen to this. ♪ >> what the [ bleep ]? it's so good. it's disco, but it's so good. ♪ it's him singing too. he never released it. i'm so mad at him!

>> jimmy: so the video now, which has a whole song in it, has 3.2 million views on tiktok. it's like a sensation. and joining us now are the father and son team responsible for it. zach montana and his dad, curly smith. [ cheers and applause ] oh, wow, curly. well, i guess the first question i have for your dad, zach, is why do they call you curly? >> it's actually a cowboy name. >> jimmy: congratulations on all the attention you've been getting. it's such a crazy thing. i heard this song has more than 400,000 listens on spotify right now. [ cheers and applause ] curly, you recorded this song what year? >> 1978. >> jimmy: it's called "surrender to me." you never released it. why didn't you ever release it? >> well, it was very tough in those days to get a record deal. you know. especially with people like the bee gees dominating the charts. so i couldn't get it signed.

so i just put on it a shelf for 43 years, and every now and then i would listen to it and go, hey, that was pretty good, maybe it will come out sometime. >> jimmy: zach stumbles on a cd in your car. why do you have a cd player in your car? [ laughter ] >> because i'm old, jimmy. >> jimmy: okay, all right. did you put that cd in the car so zach would hear it? or just listening to it yourself? >> i was just listening to it myself. >> jimmy: zach, you were obviously surprised by this, right? >> yeah. it was nuts. i went through, i was going on a drive late at night. i went to plug my iphone in to play music. before i could plug it in, it started playing, it came on with the bass line. it was like, this is great! then the vocals came in. and i was like, wait a minute, that's something -- that voice is really familiar. >> jimmy: did you ask your dad's permission before you posted it? >> nope. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: no. >> no, i just wanted people to hear it so i put it out there. >> jimmy: i guess he can't

really sue you. >> yeah, exactly. >> jimmy: curly, you now, you've got the song. the song is pop lauular. we thought it would be fun to have you play the song with your band, and with our band as well. what are you calling your band? >> fire city funk. >> jimmy: is this what they were called back then at that time? >> no. >> jimmy: it is not, okay. this is a new name, an old song, which is now a new song. and later on the show, zach is going to be singing the song with you. we'll hear some long dead music resurrected by fire city funk on the show tonight. [ cheers and applause ] we've got a fun show tonight. fire city funk is here. foo fighters are with us. [ cheers and applause ] and we'll be right back with batman, robert pattinson. stick around!

>> jimmy: hi there, welcome back. tonight, their new movie is called "studio 666." foo fighters are with us. as actors, not musicians. [ cheers and applause ] then later, the song is called "surrender to me." fire city funk from the mercedes-benz stage. [ cheers and applause ] tomorrow night, a real-life beatle will be here, ringo starr and olympic gold medalist shaun white will be with us. [ cheers and applause ] please join us. our first guest is a very talented actor who, like a lot of vampires, turned into a bat. [ laughter ] he plays the world's greatest detective in the highly anticipated new movie, "the batman." it opens exclusively in theaters and imax march 4th. please say hello to robert pattinson. [ cheers and applause ] ♪

>> jimmy: very good to see you. >> how's it going? >> jimmy: it's going well. i have a question about what you're wearing. did you think to yourself, i'm batman now, i can't wear some turquoise thing or whatever, i have to dress in black. >> i was trying to be serious. >> jimmy: uh-huh, right. >> trying to be slightly corporate. don't say any naughty stories. >> jimmy: i saw the movie. i'm going to begin by saying, you are an excellent batman. >> thanks. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: i know you were worried about what kind of a batman you might be. you ar really good batman. >> thank you. >> jimmy: you know what? i was thinking about this too. there's nothing worse than being a bad batman. [ laughter ] if you're a bad batman, there's no bigger disaster than that, is there? >> i know. that's what everyone keeps telling me. they're like, if all fails, you'll still be part of something really special. i'm like, i don't want to be the worst one, that's what i get remembered for. >> jimmy: what maniac said to

you? that seems like the worst thing you could say to everybody. >> especially the week before the release. [ laughter ] yeah, i'll bear that in mind. >> jimmy: are you seen the movie in its entirety? >> i saw it three days ago. >> jimmy: you did. were you nervous going in? >> i was absolutely terrified. i haven't been this scared to release a movie in a long time and i haven't even released the movie. >> jimmy: at what point during the film did you breathe a sigh of relief? was it right away? to the end? how did that go? >> yeah, i mean -- i'd seen the first 90 minutes by myself at imax before, i knew the first 90 minutes was great. i've gotten into this habit where i kind of realized, i need to be in the perfect balance of serotonin to watch my own stuff. i need to work out beforehand, i need to have an enormous amount of sugar and caffeine. whatever i'm watching, i'm like, yes! [ laughter ] >> jimmy: really? >> so -- like this. >> jimmy: you did do that? >> i did do that, and i watched it with matt reeves, the incredible director and his

family. >> jimmy: was he looking at you the whole time during the movie to see how you reacted? >> i'm not really sure. i watched it with my girlfriend as well. she was like -- it was really her reaction that kind of changed the entire thing. because i'm pretty sure she's not normally into watching superhero movies. >> jimmy: these kind of movies, yeah. >> just seeing that it was capturing her attention the entire time, then she held my hand and just touched it right there, i could feel a little tear. what i was like, no way. >> jimmy: really. [ laughter ] then after the movie, was she just all over you? super sexed up from batman? [ laughter ] [ applause ] >> i mean -- yeah. >> jimmy: how did it come to be that you played batman? was this your idea, was this something you reached out about? or did they reach out to you? >> i can't -- it's strange, i kind of -- i just had this strange feeling. no one really knew what the status of it was in 2018.

and i met dylan clark, the producer. about some other stuff. and i knew -- i saw in his there was rumored batman involvement. i said, what's going on with batman? there was a flicker of recognition. i kind of thought, huh. there's an opening there. i kind of kept pushing and pushing. and then eventually matt reeves and -- loved him, he had a really interesting take on the character. then it's another eight months. and then shot another movie. blah, blah, blah. and then three years later, it's finally coming out. >> jimmy: i'd heard that when you read for the movie, you were wearing a bat suit. like one of the real ones from val kilmer? >> i -- well, i try on every single one. >> jimmy: you did? >> to see which one -- every single one still has the actor's sweat and stuff. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: where are these combat suits? >> there's a little cage swear

in warner brothers costume department. >> jimmy: you walked in, they were all there? >> it comes out with their own little guard, and they're wearing batman outfits as well. [ laughter ] robin outfits. but they really don't care. they worked on the same people in the costume department who work the on every single one of the batman movies, they don't really care who the director is or anything. they're like, do not mess these suits sxwlup you put on this batman -- you call it a costume? bat suit? >> yeah, i put on -- i tried on all of them. it's kind of -- because you really made -- it's the size of your head, that's the defining factor. and i think the body fit more on val kilmer's. and the head fit on clooney's one. frank you've got three costume workers trying to squeeze your legs into this 30-year-old foam

costume, which is disintegrating as you're getting into it. >> jimmy: this seems like such a bad idea, you know? [ laughter ] >> then you're boiling hot. this is before i'd even got the part, thlgss the screen test. you're absolutely terrified. >> jimmy: and the nipples are on the suit that i had? >> many, many nipples. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: you got nipples. >> very prominent. >> jimmy: you look at yourself in the mirror and go, yeah, that's him? [ laughter ] >> yeah, it's a big -- lubed up and squeezed into it. >> jimmy: what was your batman growing up? >> i grew up watching adam west, really. >> jimmy: adam west. [ cheers and applause ] >> was his suit in there? >> i don't think it was. >> jimmy: you'd notice, it's like pajamas. [ laughter ] >> tim burton's one. >> jimmy: michael keaton as well, yeah. >> that was the one that really captured me. >> jimmy: did you consult with the previous batmen beforehand? this is a very -- it's a big deal. >> it is. i mean, i was a bit scared to kind of ask them anything. i bumped into christian bale,

kind of like a year ago. [ laughter ] now i guess -- it kind of inspired him to say, you need -- the first thing you need to do in the bat suit is figure out a way to pee. when i went into the costume department, first things first, i need a patch, i need a flap on the back. [ laughter ] easy access. >> jimmy: oh, you did it in the back? interesting. >> yeah. velcro. >> jimmy: that's very -- yeah, that gives us a little insight into you that we'd not expected. [ laughter and applause ] you know what would be fun? i think i have a couple of these guys' phone numbers, you should start calling the other bat and men and go, "i'm batman" and hang up the phone. [ laughter ] we can call ben affleck. "i'm batman" and hang it up. when we come back, we're going to look at -- we have a worldwide exclusive, a clip from the movie that has never been

[ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: there it is. "the batman." and he's here, robert pattinson. [ cheers and applause ] bruce wayne. how long did it take you to figure out the voice, the batman voice? >> i mean, i actually found out a funny thing about it. because i wanted to do it radically different to all the other batmen. >> jimmy: you did? >> and started in a kind of -- i just thought, because everybody knows this gruff, gravelly thing. i'm like, i'm going to do the opposite, i'm going to go really

whispery. i tried to do it the first two weeks and it just looked absolutely atrocious. they told me to stop doing it. i found out from nick, who was putting me in the suit every day, that's what christian bale did on "batman begins." if you listen to the first "batman begins" teaser trailer, you can hear the original voice. i only found this out a couple of weeks ago. it's kind of interesting. >> jimmy: it would be fun if batman had a texas accent or something like that. [ laughter ] >> it's funny, you can feel when it feels right. you kind of -- there's something -- you put the suit on, you have to speak in a certain way. >> jimmy: yeah, right. it's like -- almost in a way like if you were a wrestler or something, you can't underplay it. >> no. >> jimmy: no. "something in the way" by nirvana unless the movie, and dave grohl is here tonight. [ cheers and applause ] he played the drums. good choice in that spot. >> yeah, so cool. >> jimmy: it really, really works. it's funny when a song just

nails that moment. i wonder, did you -- maybe you weren't even involved in this part. did you guys go through a bunch of songs to figure that out? i think that song was -- i mean, one of the first things matt said to me, he's sort of inspired by kurt cobain. really? that's kind of the opposite of what i imagine bruce wayne to be. it's funny, we had the first costume meetings. i wanted to go, like, really, really, really kurt cobain. kind of wanted to wear, like, a dressing gown and kind of fluffy bugs bunny slippers for the first -- that kind of -- really kind of grungy. yeah, we tried that. >> jimmy: you can't have a flannel batman. [ laughter ] so you had a lot of bad ideas to start with. [ laughter ] >> tons, yeah. a ton of them. >> jimmy: matt managed to whittle through those and figure it out. >> it's one thing i sent matt, talking to zoe crkravitz whokrao

catwoman. >> jimmy: she's great. >> she's great. she's looking at the way she moves, looking at big cat videos, kind of how big cats fight. so i looked up how a bat fights. [ laughter ] and there was this one video on planet earth of the technique of a vampire bat with a chicken in a cage. and how it fights the chicken, it flaps around the cage for like an hour, just flat banging on the cage, till the chicken's been scared so long, the chicken falls asleep. then the bat sneaks into the cage and bites it on its anus. [ laughter ] and i sent that to matt reeves. and he's like, i've got an idea! [ laughter ] >> jimmy: that's a different movie, but i think you should make that at some point. [ laughter ] where do you live now? you know, the reason i'm asking, do you know the reason i'm asking? >> yeah, i always seem to be

quite confused about it. >> jimmy: no, you're not confused. you lie about it each time. >> i know. i keep getting accused -- it's funny. i get this kind of -- panic makes me kind of say -- i don't know what i'm saying on talk shows at all. i don't know what's coming out of my mouth. i literally just talked about -- eating a bat's butt or whatever. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: yeah, no, it was a chicken's butthole, you wouldn't eat a bat's butthole, that's ridiculous. [ laughter ] i don't think bats even have them. >> yeah, the producer reminds me of it. >> jimmy: you told me you lived under a bridge or something once. >> i know. >> jimmy: you told me that you were living at the hotel d'hotel. are you in a home now? are you in a cave? >> i've been in london a long time. we shot in london two years, the longest i've been in london for years and years and years. >> jimmy: and this is true? you're telling me the truth? [ laughter ] >> yeah, i can't think quick enough. >> jimmy: what's going on with your english guys? spider-man's english. batman's english.

superman's english. i feel like we have a problem. [ laughter ] >> i actually worked with tom holland, this movie called "the lost city of z" years ago. and he was -- i think he hadn't even been cast as spider-man. he was wearing a spider-man outfit when i was shooting that movie. >> jimmy: why? >> he really manifested that part. [ laughter ] like, i mean, he was wearing a spider-man -- i swear to god. we were in colombia, and i'm 99% certain he was in costume. >> jimmy: hold on. [ laughter and applause ] it might have been weirder if he had been cast and he was wearing a spider-man outfit. was he wearing the costume, or was he wearing a shirt with spider-man on it? >> no, it looked like a proper costume. [ laughter ] we're in the middle of nowhere in colombia. no one around. no one witnessed this except for me. >> jimmy: wow. you know what the message there is? dreams do come true. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] well, congratulations on "the batman." it is opening in theaters and

[ laughter ] you made this horror movie. and dave, this ws your idea, right? >> it was kind of my idea, yes. >> jimmy: kind of your idea. >> yes. >> jimmy: whose idea was it also? >> well, it was my idea in that we would make a movie where, band moves into creepy old house, starts making a record, the house is haunted, i become possessed, i murder the whole band, and go solo. [ laughter ]

>> jimmy: okay. now, when dave pitched this fantasy that he had, was anyone concerned? [ laughter ] >> i just was wondering if this meant something. >> jimmy: yeah, right. >> you know? >> jimmy: do you think now, after making the movie, that it meant something? >> i'm still not sure. [ laughter ] >> we survived, look at us, we're still foo fighters! [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: yeah, you're all alive. that's good, that's a plus. you shot this in a house that you were claiming was haunted all along. but was not haunted, right, guys? i mean did you see any -- >> it looked haunted. >> jimmy: it looked haunted, was not haunted, as far as any of you know? >> not haunted. >> jimmy: not haunted. >> we told a lot of people that it was haunted. but we were lying. [ laughter ] because we were trying to sell a horror movie. >> jimmy: have you lied before for purposes of press? any of you? >> no, no. >> sure. >> jimmy: who was the worst actor in the group? let's be honest and assess each other now, go ahead.

anybody want to volunteer? >> let's just say that -- you know, there was a script. >> jimmy: yeah? >> it's easy for us to be the foo fighters, that's easy. there was a script, people were giving us lines. we were learning our lines. taylor refused to learn his lines. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: why, taylor? why must you be difficult? >> it's not that i've difficult, i'm lazy, i'm not much for book learning. i don't know. i just have this -- a bunch of pages to read. >> jimmy: right. [ laughter ] matt did you study your lines, learn your lines? >> you learn them right before they say go. >> jimmy: uh-huh? >> whatever the word is. >> jimmy: before they say go is when you should learn them. >> there was a whole lot of "wait, what's my line, what my supposed to?" >> a lot of that. >> the 25th take kind of thing. >> jimmy: who was the best in the group? oh, really? rami is the the best? >> i don't think so. [ cheers and applause ] >> i was playing myself. >> jimmy: you all were, right? >> how can that be hard, yeah.

>> he was just more of himself, in a great way. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: is that right? expound on that what do you mean on that? >> a little spicolli, a little keanu in "river's edge." [ laughter ] >> volleyball shorts. >> always. >> jimmy: all right. that's nice that your bandmates feel that way about you. do you feel like this is a -- like going to be a series of horror movies? >> a franchise. >> jimmy: a franchise. >> i'm saying franchise. but i would -- you know, we've -- we thought about sequels and stuff like that. and you can't go anywhere with it. but it would be fun. we've sat around talking about whch other bands should take the ball and run with it. >> jimmy: oh. >> we've come up with a lot of really good ideas. >> jimmy: you would pass the franchise along to another band? >> why not? rock 'n' roll movies why so much fun in the '70s. >> jimmy: right, yeah. >> why not pass it on? >> jimmy: that's a great idea. >> weezer, rom-com. [ laughter ]

>> jimmy: that would be fun. >> wu-tang, sci-fi. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: uh-huh? >> you know? like -- what was the other one? >> pearl jam. >> pearl jam, world war ii. [ laughter ] you could do this. i mean, we did this. surely all the other bands could do that. >> jimmy: it was a good enough experience that you'd recommend it to others? >> i'm sure -- we eventually realized we're the only band stupid enough to do this. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: were you actually recording music while you were making or at least writing music while you were making this movie? >> the thing is that that house is actually where we made our last record. >> jimmy: that's the spot. >> the whole idea came up around that time. i actually lived in this house about ten years ago, i rented it. when we were starting to write the music for the new record, the guy that owned it emailed me and said, hey, i'm selling it, do you want to buy it? i said, no, no, but if we can use it to make a record, let's do that. so the house in the movie, that living room, that's where we made the new record for real. then by came up with this idea

for the horror film and we thought, okay, once we're done with the record, take a couple of weeks off, then just go shoot some really quick run and run, low-budget slasher. it turned into a full-length feature film. >> jimmy: it turned into -- >> a real movie. >> jimmy: you get involved in a lot of stuff. i don't know where you're finding the time to do all this stuff. >> i don't know. >> in his sleep. >> he's asleep. >> jimmy: is that what it is? >> i'm also possessed by satan. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: of course. i do had the best death scene of all you guys? >> oh, dude. rami got it. >> for sure. >> jimmy: he did? >> i might have enjoyed mine. >> jimmy: yours as sex scene, right? >> yes. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: who assigned the death scenes? >> the guy that did all the special effects, tony gardner. >> jimmy: was there any discussion about who would be killed first? >> i think it was kind of written in the script. chris got it first. >> yeah, i got it first. >> jimmy: you got it first. >> yeah, yeah. >> jimmy: were you upset about that? >> i think my ego was maybe a

little bruised. until pat pointed out that actually i had to work a lot less. [ laughter ] >> it worked out pretty good, worked out pretty good. [ applause ] lot less time on set, yeah. >> jimmy: you didn't show up on shoot days just so show brotherly support, nothing like that? >> i was there in spirit. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: this is not just a horror film, it's a comedy horror. we saw the head on the grill. and there are some big cameo appearances, guest stars you have in this movie. one of them is a major, major music superstar. one of the biggest music superstars of all-time in the united states. >> yes. >> jimmy: i feel like we shouldn't tell anybody who this person is before we show this. >> okay. >> jimmy: do you agree? >> yeah, it's a good one. >> jimmy: here we go, take a look. ♪ i sometimes see you pass outside my door ♪ ♪ hello ♪ >> hello, dave. >> ahh!

[ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: lionel richie. the whole movie's worth it for that nugget alone. >> believe me, it's all downhill from there. >> jimmy: a pissed-off lionel richie is something i never thought i would see. >> first of all, the screenwriters wrote him into the script without knowing i know him. >> jimmy: they didn't know? >> i read the script, oh my god. i texted him. dude, we're making a horror film, do you want to be in it? he's like, absolutely, my brother. that was it! [ applause ] no agents, i just texted him. he's the best. his line in the film, in the script, he's supposed to say, "we all get writer's block but that's my song." one take, do you want me to ramp it up a little bit? yeah. he goes, "we all get writer's

song but that's my [ bleep ] song, you're dead!" [ applause ] >> jimmy: that's good stuff. we have a surprise for the audience. everyone here tonight is getting what, dave? >> uh -- fake blood? >> jimmy: a human head? i don't know. no, tickets to go see the movie.
