entire team thank you, followin >> lou: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live!" tonight -- anna kendrick. jermaine fowler. >> lou: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live!" tonight -- anna kendrick. jermaine fowler. and music from sabrina carpenter. with cleto and the cletones. and now, jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> jimmy: oh, very nice. thank you. hello. thanks. thank you. hi, i'm jimmy. i'm the host. thanks for watching. thank you for joining us. please relax. thanks for coming to the show. it was a "break out the galoshes" kind of day here in los angeles. i don't know if you heard.

there is a "bomb cyclone" on the loose. that's what we call rain here. a bomb cyclone. [ laughter ] also the name of the break dance crew guillermo and i started back in 1995. >> guillermo: that's right, yeah. >> jimmy: remember that, guillermo? >> guillermo: right, yeah. >> jimmy: there you go. here in southern california, rain is a big deal. it's like seeing ben affleck getting starbucks instead of dunkin' donuts. [ laughter ] it's scary! there are flood warnings across the state. and this is pretty crazy. you can see on the weather radar, a giant leaf of romaine lettuce headed directly for fresno. [ laughter ] residents are advised to board up windows and stock up on vinaigrette just in case. [ laughter ] the rest of the country is cold. this was the scene up in washington state, where icy conditions made even walking to your car a treacherous endeavor. this guy, he is being careful. he took it very slow. surveying the scene. [ laughter ] oh, no -- no -- you see?

now gravity takes hold. yeah, there he is by the door to his -- the passenger side. i'm sure he'll be fine. oh, no. [ laughter ] if you see a man in a neon hoodie sliding past your home, please contact local police. that's about how things are going for southwest airlines so far this year. southwest got hit with another outage yesterday that grounded about 140 flights. passengers already on board were told their planes were unable to fly. which is bad because, as an airline, your planes being able to fly is one of the main things. [ laughter ] the ceo of southwest apologized again, but he explained that as a discount airline, one of the ways they keep prices low is by not flying passengers to their destinations. [ laughter ] southwest is such a mess right now, you'd think they got bought out by elon musk. [ laughter and moans ] oh, musk family members? [ laughter ] in washington, the republicans in the house of representatives,

they're giving southwest a run for their money right now. they've been in power for two days -- so far, putting republicans in charge of the house has been like putting woodchucks in charge of your lawn. after six votes in the past two days, they finally elected a speaker of the house. remember this dude? >> hey! [ bleep ]. good to see you guys. >> jimmy: good to see you too. he was able to bring his brothers and sisters together somehow. republicans once again failed to reach consensus on who will be their speaker. kevin mccarthy lost three rounds of voting yesterday, another three rounds today. they just keep voting over and over again. he has now lost six times in two days. who could have guessed that a bunch of insurrection apologists would have trouble certifying a vote? [ laughter ] mccarthy needs 218 votes from his fellow republicans to be speaker. he started with 203. he's down now to 201. the last time a kevin felt this abandoned in his house was in the movie "home alone." [ laughter ] the problem for mccarthy is the so-called "freedom caucus," this

ultra-conservative group. he got caucus blocked by them. [ light laughter ] the election deniers. i don't know why he doesn't just declare he won. isn't that how it works in that party? "i won," that's it. what makes it even worse is that kevin mccarthy already moved his stuff into the speaker's office before the vote een happene, which is not too bright. that's like showing up for a tinder date with a toothbrush. [ laughter ] the reason this is a big deal is the house can't do anything until they elect a speaker. so now -- i guess they decided just to reconvene tonight. the last time something like this happened was a hundred years ago. i'll tell you something, dammit, joe biden solved it then and he can solve it again now. [ laughter and applause ] joe biden has nothing to do with this, but our former president this morning, carrot flop, twiddled his little thumbs on truth social -- [ laughter ] to post a statement in support of kevin mccarthy. and he really busted out the all caps button for this.

"it's now time for all of our great republican house members to vote for kevin, close the deal, take the victory, and watch crazy nancy pelosi fly back home to a very broken california, the only speaker in u.s. history to have lost the house twice. republicans, do not turn a great triumph into a giant and embarrassing defeat." and as the father of eric and don jr., this is a man who knows giant and embarrassing defeat. [ laughter ] "it's time to celebrate, you deserve it. kevin mccarthy will do a good job, and maybe even a great job." [ laughter ] he gave a more forceful endorsement to stuffed-crust pizza than to kevin mccarthy. [ laughter ] trump even called the hold-outs personally to tell them to vote for mccarthy. and they ignored him. i have to admit -- it's fun to watch these animals stab each other in the back. it's like "house of cards," but everyone is kevin spacey. [ laughter ] so now, with no designated speaker, nothing happens. newly elected congresspeople can't be sworn in. committees can't be formed. no one knows who's supposed to throw mice to marjorie taylor greene at feeding time. [ laughter ] it's a mess.

republicans did manage to get one thing done yesterday. as their first act in the majority, they removed the metal detecters from the entrance to the house. which was cause for great celebration for a very smug little hooters hostess named lauren boebert. >> when i arrived at congress two years ago, nancy pelosi put this hunk of garbage outside of the house chambers for members of congress to go through. today they are being removed and we are turning pelosi's house back into the people's house. >> jimmy: oh, good. it's "extremist home makeover: congress edition." [ laughter ] what, they're against metal detectors now? she wanted it removed because the plate in her head makes it go off. [ laughter ] i mentioned this last night. the speaker of the house doesn't have to be a congressperson. it can be any american over 25 years old. and if they can't settle on one of their own, one guy has an interesting plan. and that guy is the my pillow man, mike lindell. >> have any of them put donald trump's name in there yet?

>> so far i have not heard donald trump's name mentioned -- >> everybody's texting me, why doesn't somebody put his name in there, get this done? >> well, we interviewed -- >> i think people need to realize, if he went in, even if it was for two off three months, i believe that he could, you know, just appoint someone, you know -- when he would leave if he would -- but i think he could get straightened out in three months -- >> jimmy: yeah. can you imagine donald trump, speaker of the house? nothing would ever get -- he'd spend every session banging that gavel like a porn star. [ laughter and applause ] mike lindell, by the way, also had a message for someone who i think would make a great speaker of the house. that person happens to be me. >> hey, jimmy, how was your new year? i'd love to come on your show, mr. jimmy. i don't care if i got to go in in the crane game across the street like you joked that one day. i've got new stuff, jimmy. how about we have a new interview this year to break in the new year? >> jimmy: i told him he could be on the show if he did it from inside the claw machine at dave & buster's across the street. [ laughter ]

that offer still stands, by the way, that's very on the table. i said to mike, the only way to bring down the machines is to climb inside the machines, okay? [ laughter ] down in louisiana, i don't know if you heard about this. they have a new state law that requires a government-issued i.d. in order to watch online pornography. for real. porn sites are now required to verify the age of their customers in louisiana with a digital identification card or a driver's license. i feel bad for the workers at the dmv, "i'm here for my masturbator's permit." louisiana [ laughter ] what makes them think this is going to work? let me tell you something. teenage boys are smart. if you put porn at the bottom of the sea, they would grow gills and swim to it. [ laughter ] the law also states that a site is considered to be pornographic if more than one-third of its content features sex acts or explicit imagery. which means there are already new sites popping up to try to get around the new rules. >> the state of louisiana is

banning minors from accessing websites whose pornographic content exceeds 30%. introducing "porn hud." porn hud is the only adult entertainment site comprised of one-third explicit images and two-thirds public records from the louisiana department of housing and urban development. porn hud has all the information you need about first-time homebuyer incentives, eviction protection, disaster relief, and horny step-milfs who want it so, so bad they can't get enough. this month, porn hud starts the year with big, natural, hot tub lesbians. an in-depth interview with u.s. housing and urban development secretary marcia fudge. porn hud. 30% hot, as directed by law. void where prohibited, prohibited where void. use promo code "fudge" for a discount your first 30 days. [ applause ] >> jimmy: apologies to marcia. we have a new number one movie in the world. "avatar: the way of water"

officially edged out "top gun: maverick" today to become the biggest box office hit of the year. it has racked up $1.5 billion. and this was good. over the holidays, a guy named oscar went to see the new "avatar" and ended up getting a show-before-the-show from an employee there now known as "the popcorn guy." >> very cool. yeah. that's awesome. wow. >> jimmy: yeah. there you go. [ cheers and applause ] and of course the internet fell in love with the popcorn guy. his video has been seen more than 14 million times. we fell in love with him too. so we tracked him down. and joining us now from the cinemark 16 theater in corpus christi, texas, please welcome jason groze-ball, the popcorn guy.

[ cheers and applause ] jason? >> hello, how you doing? >> jimmy: i'm doing great. how does it feel to be the king of popcorn? >> it feels amazing. i never thought i would get to this point. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: i imagine this came as a surprise. how did you find out it was suddenly a viral video? >> honestly, one of my friends told me about it the other day. i didn't even know about it until i started getting, like, discordant calls about it, and it started blowing up out of nowhere. it was honestly surprising. >> jimmy: are people recognizing you at the theater now? >> oh, yeah, people are recognizing me all the time. i get texts from everybody, i get, like, photos from everybody. people record me all the time. it feels amazing. >> jimmy: when did you start doing this magic with popcorn? >> i started about five years ago. i actually learned from a friend of mine, jordan. he did it as a little joke. he kind of dropped it all the time.

i started practicing it over and over until i perfected it. i've been doing it about ten years now. >> jimmy: i'm surprised you haven't joined the harlem globetrotters or something. [ laughter ] i order a large popcorn with extra butter. walk me through the process of how you would fill that bucket. >> i got my popcorn right here, i got my butter right here. i got my trusty bucket. >> jimmy: all right. here we go. >> a bit of popcorn right here. [ cheers ] toss it up a little bit. butter, spin it around, toss it up a little bit again. spin it around, put some more butter. throw a little more popcorn. more butter. and now give it one more spin. then i'm going to top it off one more time. then i'm going to put some butter on it. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: beautiful. really, it's kind of hypnotic to watch. >> thank you. >> jimmy: did you come up with this yourself? did you study at orville redenbacher university? [ laughter ] >> no, self-taught. i got bored one day, just started doing it. >> jimmy: nice. [ cheers ]

do you do tricks at the soda machine too? or stick to popcorn? >> i stick to popcorn. i tried the soda machine once, it got all over, super messy. i'm going to keep trying it, but i don't want to keep making messes. >> jimmy: i love somebody who loves his job. like you obviously do. i assume you do, do you? >> oh, i love my job more than anything in the world right now. >> jimmy: what are you doing on march 12th, jason? because i'm hosting the oscars this year. if you're interested, we could probably use the world's greatest popcorn bucket filler at the theater, you know. [ cheers and applause ] >> i'd love to watch the oscars with you guys. i'd love to just, like, see everything going on. i'd like to see you present it to us. >> jimmy: do you think you could get the weekend off to make popcorn for tom cruise? is that possible? >> oh, man. if i got the week off for tom cruise, that would be amazing. i would totally do it if they told me to. >> jimmy: let's make it happen, then. let's do it. [ cheers and applause ] we'll bring you out here. and we'll see you in march. don't forget to bring your scoop. >> i'll definitely keep it on me.

>> jimmy: okay, all right. [ cheers ] there you go. that's jason, everybody. thank you, jason. [ cheers and applause ] >> bye, have a good night,uys. >> jimmy: all right. we've got a good show for you tonight. from the new movie "the drop," jermaine fowler is here.

[ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> wonderful! >> jimmy: great to have you here. >> what an amazing audience, that's so nice. >> jimmy: thank you for braving the bomb cyclone to be here tonight. >> i did it specifically for you and only you. >> jimmy: i appreciate that. did you ever work in a movie theater? i bet you would be good. you were good at the cup deal, you know? >> oh, no, yeah. i never worked in a movie theater. my brother worked in a movie theater. >> jimmy: oh, okay. >> yeah, he worked in a movie theater.

actually, i ended up getting drunk for the very first time as a teenager at his -- at the movie theater that he worked at. it was after hours, you could sneak in alcohol. and i think it was -- like coffee, brandy, and milk. [ laughter ] kind of a staple in maine, we're very classy as a state. >> jimmy: is it really? your first time getting drunk was coffee, brandy -- [ laughter ] >> coffee, brandy, and milk. it's weird to me that y'all think that is weird, because in maine that's like the state drink. we have an alcohol problem, it's never cute. it's very cute, actually. >> jimmy: it sounds like what the gorton's fishermen would have after a long day at sea. >> that's the persona we're going for in maine. so, yeah. i'm sitting with coffee, brandy and milk, watching "the legend of bagger vance" or something, being like, "this is so moving." i don't know. >> jimmy: did you revisit the coffee, brandy and milk later in the evening? how did that first experience go? >> no, i think once i moved to

california, i never found it again -- >> jimmy: no, i meant, did you vomit. [ laughter ] yeah, i was trying to say it in a nice way. >> no, no, i managed -- yeah. >> jimmy: you managed, yeah, well. that's very impressive. your older brother? >> yeah, so it was very, you know -- if you're going to try alcohol for the first time, it should be while i'm around. >> jimmy: it should be on my watch, here's some milk. >> very responsible. yeah, get some brandy and dairy products in you. >> jimmy: it's funny, because not only should you not be drinking brandy as a teenager, you shouldn't be drinking coffee probably either, right? >> or milk. you're too old to just be drinking milk. yeah, none of that was right. >> jimmy: you go home to your parents, "yeah, but i did have some milk." >> yeah, for my bones. >> jimmy: was it a big secret? did you have to keep it quiet at home? >> yeah, no. i think i walked in -- your first time being drunk, you're like, "i am pulling this off." [ laughter ] >> jimmy: yeah, yeah, you stand up and you realize you aren't. >> yeah. >> jimmy: would your brother give you stuff for free?

sneak you -- like you said, you snuck in. >> i think he probably did. i don't -- i tree to actually -- i try to avoid movie snacks. because i cannot stop myself from just, like, shoving the entire snack in my mouth before the movie has begun. >> jimmy: same here, i finish it before the previews are done. [ laughter ] >> yes, before the previews are even done. it's just like, i can't stop myself. it's a conveyor belt of calories. >> jimmy: i turn into a horse. just eating -- >> out of a feed bag. >> jimmy: like a feed bag, yeah. >> i need somebody to invent a thing for nachos and popcorn, one of those pet feeder things. like you leave your cat for a weekend where it's like, you have to wait until the next preview starts before you can take another handful of popcorn. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: that's a great idea. >> that's the only thing that's going to slow me down. >> jimmy: maybe what they could do is cut a little hole in the bottom of the popcorn, then like suspend it above your head so you could just take one at a time. >> like a gerbil. >> jimmy: like a gerbil, exactly. >> that's brilliant. >> jimmy: i think you could really market this. because i have that same

problem. and i'm going to tell you another thing. you don't have little kids, right? i have a couple of kids who want to know what happened to all the popcorn. [ laughter ] >> oh. >> jimmy: because they get involved with their gummy rings or whatever they have. >> right, then later, "dad, i just want some popcorn." >> jimmy: i know. then i act like, "i don't know. >> yeah. >> jimmy: start looking around in my lap for spares. [ laughter ] gerbil stations. >> jimmy: if we only had gerbil stations. i tell you another thing. i'm sorry i'm talking too much about this. i once suggested to my wife that rather than come in the night to give our daughter a bottle, we set up a pet feeder in the crib. [ laughter and applause ] put formula in it. whenever she got thirsty, just nurse like a little goat or something like that. >> okay, so this is your solution for everything. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: i guess so, yeah. >> i got it. >> jimmy: yes. moderation -- >> he's got one idea, but it's a

solid idea. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: oh, my mother's so obsessed w ith >>yo wu,hat?ou >> jimmy: -- call the police if you ever met her. >> no, n "pitcherfect" hundreds of times. >> no. >> jmy: s. and i'm sorry you're reacting that way. but hundreds of times. >> that's so sweet. >> jimmy: yeah. [ laughter ] the first 20 times it's sweet. the next 80 times,cobet s me and for a long time, anyone who walked in the house, i mean, like the fed ex guy would show " then my daughter's friend took video of her because she said, "you have to watch this movie, sit down." i want you to watch my mother watching you. [ cheers and applause ] >> oh my god, that's so amazing

demographic, first of all. [ laughter ] that was so wonderful. that makes me so happy. >> jimmy: oh, good. >> oh my god. ok, odgo. >> jimmy: i'm going to make er h ss >>eah, isn't she here? that's great. >> jimmy: we have a restraininge >>ai aagr pre-emptive measure. >> jimmy: do you -- did you make a new year's resolution? is that the sort of e saewr' sotion every year. i sort of -- it's like a vague ns, ke this year will be kind of order and cleanliness of my house fall apart.>>'m so -- if i et one crack in the system shit'swaus like, if i just , perfowect -- like this year i'm going to come up with the perfect organizational system, and i'm just -- like, last year's system was flawed.

[ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: that's anna kendrick in "alice, darling." it is not "pitch perfect." your acting is really great in the movie. >> thank you. >> jimmy: it's very intense. i don't want to try to describe it. >> yeah. >> jimmy: it's largely about a young woman in a very unhappy, unhealthy relationship. >> yeah, a woman in a psychologically abusive relationship. but it's -- i don't know, it's not what you think it would be. i always feel like -- the filmmakers did such an amazing job. it feels like when -- the first time you read "one flew over the cuckoo's nest" where you're like, am i going crazy? media makes you like, am i crazy? what's going on? >> jimmy: did you feel that way while shooting the movie? >> yeah. we shot it in canada. at that time, the quarantine rules were really, really strict. >> jimmy: oh, right. they were very strict. >> very strict.

if you went into the country, you had to quarantine for two weeks. not like, "hey, stay away from people." it was like, "you stay in this room." the government comes and checks up on you to make sure you haven't left the room. >> jimmy: like justin trudeau stops by? [ laughter ] wow. >> that's what happened. >> jimmy: wasn't there a huge fine or something like that? >> oh, yeah, they would have sent me away, shut down the movie and everything. i had to stay in this room for two weeks, which did make me feel like i was going crazy. i drank so much wine. [ laughter ] i was on this lake, which was very picturesque, until it's day 11 and you've had a lot of wine. then you're like, i'm going crazy. but i'm just method acting. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: you were quarantined on the lake? the movie revolves around a lake. >> yeah. >> jimmy: on that same lake where you shot the movie. nd this lake. we were, my -- well, i was actually staying at this tiny little place that was on the lake as

well, which there's a -- i mean, in that clip i'm, like, coming out of the water. there was a -- there are scenes that are kind of, like, underwater. it's a little indie movie, so we had, like, six hours where we could afford to rent underwater cameras and have, like, a safety guy in scuba gear. the director was like, "yeah, there's just like this one shot ttle r bweit longer." but they've sent away -- "we can't afford to get the underwater camera back." i think it's the last shot of the movie, even, is the cinematographer went to walmart and bought a fish tank. put our one good camera in the fish tank. and was, like, "i really hope this is a good fish tank." [ laughter ] in the place that i was staying, like after work, in secret, we were not permitted to do this -- i, like -- and that scene, i'm, like, in my bra. the director, mary, is on the dock, like, saying action. it's just this one guy with a camera and a fish tank and me in my bra.

there's preteen boys several houses down going, "is that lady from that one movie in a bra doing a weird sex thing with a camera in a fish tank?" [ laughter ] yeah. i was like, i'm really -- i hope that these kids are jaded enough that they're just like, "whatever." not putting this on tiktok. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: oh, yeah, no, kids are never that jaded. they never get that jaded. it just doesn't happen. wow, that's pretty crazy. >> yeah. >> jimmy: you violated international law there in canada. you were so careful about the covid. >> about the covid, then i was like, indecent exposure. yeah. >> jimmy: fish tank, indecent exposure. >> very cool. i'm a professional woman. >> jimmy: speaking of being a professional woman, you directed a movie? >> yeah, yeah. i just directed my first feature, which i wasn't expecting to do. it came together really fast. it was, like, the most fun i've had in years. >> jimmy: this is a crazy story. >> oh, yeah. the true story, yeah. so it's based on a thing that really happened in the 1970s. this woman went on "the dating

game" and the man she chose was a serial killer. >> jimmy: yeah. wrong choice. >> yeah. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: bad choice. >> yeah. lke, crazy, crazy true story. sort of from her perspective. i had so much fun doing it. but i will say that, like -- you know, directors, like -- they're great. they're great. please hire me. [ laughter ] but they think they're really interesting because they're so, like, hyperfocused on the thing they're making, i think they expect you to be as interested but then i'm now, like -- the last three months of my life, i've been hyperfocused on this thing. i find myself going, "there was this one set that was orange and purple, and we decided we wanted to make it more rust than eggplant, why is everybody walking away? why does everybody feel like they hate me, more than usual?" >> jimmy: do you have someone in your life who pretends everything you say is interesting? >> well, you have to. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: once the commercials hit, forget about it, it's over. no, but no, that's fascinating about the orange set.

[ laughter ] >> no, it is. it's like, nobody wants to talk about it. >> jimmy: that's a great story. >> all my stories are like -- >> jimmy: that's a crazy story, i look forward to seeing that. i know a little about that story. they think that guy may have killed over 100 people, right? >> it's really terrifying, kind of a great kind of metaphor, for like you think you know what you're getting yourself into, and who's the person behind the curtain? it's such a terrifying story. >> jimmy: i won't if in 20, 30 years we'll find out one of the bachelors killed 100 people? [ laughter ] >> that seems likely. >> jimmy: yeah, for sure.

there's a different way to treat hiv. it's every-other-month, injectable cabenuva. for adults who are undetectable, cabenuva is the only complete, long-acting hiv treatment you can get every other month. cabenuva helps keep me undetectable. it's two injections, given by my healthcare provider, every other month. it's one less thing to think about while traveling. hiv pills aren't on my mind. a quick change in my plans is no big deal. don't receive cabenuva if you're allergic to its ingredients or taking certain medicines, which may interact with cabenuva. serious side effects include allergic reactions post-injection reactions, liver problems, and depression. if you have a rash and other allergic reaction symptoms, stop cabenuva and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have liver problems or mental health concerns, and if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or considering pregnancy. some of the most common side effects include injection-site reactions, fever, and tiredness. if you switch to cabenuva, attend all treatment appointments. every other month, and i'm good to go. ask your doctor about every-other-month cabenuva.

[ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> jimmy: it's very good to see you. the last time i think i saw you was when "coming to america 2" came out, right? right around there? >> right around then, man. good seeing you again. >> jimmy:off been doing, i know,

traveling around the world with movies, doing stand-up comedy in other countries? >> yeah. >> jimmy: what countries have you done stand-up in?>> yeah. >> jimmy: what countries have you done stand-other countries? >> yeah. >> jimmy: what countries have you done stand->> yeah. >> jimmy: what countries have you done stand-up in? >> i recently got back from australia, did some shows there, it was dope, it was great. >> jimmy: fun. >> one of the craziest, i think, experiences i had was in london. yeah, that was nuts. >> jimmy: why was it nuts? what's the -- what was the deal? >> well, because -- all right. i had this bit where, like -- i've been doing the states, in america i'm used to just the rapport that we all have with the audience. there's a relationship there, you know what i mean? there's a rhythm there. i go to london. rhythm wasn't there. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: really? >> yeah. so the setup is basically, i asked the audience, hey, what do you think is more important, dealing with global warming or dealing with racism? >> jimmy: what? >> you can answer. [ laughter ] right, so that's the setup, pri? i usually use -- whatever answer they give me, i'll just kind of use that momentum to get to theam dn ncpu i couldn't get to the punchline warming."

and i was like, "cool." then one dude, before i get to the punchline, one dude yelled out, "of course you said that." [ laughter ] then a whole damn race war started. [ laughter ] in the audience. at one point it got so loud that i didn't exist. i wasn't there. >> jimmy: really? >> yeah. >> jimmy: they just began arguing amongst themselves? >> they were in arguing, man. i was like, "hey, i had a joke, i had a joke." they said, get off! all right, that's my time. i just bounced after that, man. >> jimmy: wow. >> yeah, i left the country worse than what it was. [ laughter ] that's my bad. >> jimmy: so the opposite of the peace corps. you come -- >> i didn't mean -- >> jimmy: -- you create tumult, then you leave. >> yeah. >> jimmy: this movie you shot at -- what, some kind of an eco resort in mexico? >> sayulita, mexico. beautiful place. we shot that about a year ago. it's called sayulita.

it's so gorgeous, you should go. >> jimmy: that's great to be -- listen, a lot of movies you make, youight wind up with a fish tank in m the lake in toronto. >> no joke. "hey, we're doing this movie in mexico." cool. they said it's going to be like a vacation. i like vacations. [ laughter ] it's one of those resorts where white people go to feel earthy. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: yeah? >> just like, one with the earth. [ laughter ] we get there, and the filmmaker, sarah adina smith, she's so great. i met all the cast. the cast is like fire, everyone's so cool. she wanted to bless the set. and so i was like, that's a good idea, we should bless the set, i never blessed a set before. so she hired a shaman to come by and bless the set. >> jimmy: oh. >> yeah, uh-huh. [ laughter ] you would think that, you g lehe wa yif, ou shaman, you'd hire local. it's local, you're in mexico, get someone mexican to do it, right? >> jimmy: sure. >> uh-huh.

that's not what happened. this lady shows up, this old white lady shows up to the set, holding feathers and incense and stuff. she does her whole ceremony. i'm looking at the mexican folks looking at her like -- [ laughter ] "she doing it wrong, she don't even know the tree's name." [ laughter ] >> jimmy: that's when you know you've got a bad shaman, yeah. >> she didn't know the tree's name. dude. it was like -- okay. that's the thing, yeah. she wanted to bless -- that's cool, that's great. but like, i didn't feel blessed. i'm a very spiritual dude, you know what i mean, i know when i'm feeling blessed and i didn't feel [ bleep ]. >> jimmy: you didn't. [ laughter ] >> i didn't. and so -- it was just so weird. after the -- after the whole ceremony, i go to my casita. i see her hop into a white suv and drive off. >> jimmy: what? >> a gigantic, gas-filled car, you know what i mean? i'm like what the -- [ laughter ] so i was confused.

so maybe like a couple days later, after the ceremony of the blessing, everyone got diarrhea. [ laughter ] everybody got sick. i'm likeman, this la terrible! at shamaning! >> jimmy: yeah. >> which is bad. then i realized after the whole ceremony, no one paid the shaman. she wasn't paid. >> jimmy: oh! >> yeah. i think she just -- >> jimmy: do you think that's why everyone got diarrhea? >> i think so. >> jimmy: an unpaid shaman? [ laughter ] >> the money didn't go through. >> jimmy: oh, no. >> she said,ew it, i'm cr s ki i was like, all right. >> jimmy: wow. >> yeah, man. it was an experience, man. >> jimmy: explain this movie. because this is an improvised movie? >> yeah. >> jimmy: which is -- is that -- i mean, i would think that would be -- would add a tremendous amount of pressure. >> it was. i didn't want to do the movie. because there was no script. like, i couldn't -- i didn't feel, like, i was confident in my improv skills to lead a whole yevie with no script.:

ah. t loa and she just had a vision for it. she really knew what she wanted. >> jimmy: maybe she should have written it down a little bit, though, right? [ laughter ] >> just a little bit, a tiny bit. she didn't write it. she didn't write [ bleep ]. [ laughter ] no, she had a scriptment, like a detailed outline of where you want the scenes to go, very important. >> jimmy: right. >> all the -- like, i do a little bit of improv. but it's very important to just listen. you know, to your castmates. you know, you really got to -- as an actor when you have a script, you've got to listen. when you don't got a script, you really got to listen. it was a dance we were doing, we had each other's backs. the chemistry was there. it was a fascinating experience. i'd never done it before. >> jimmy: when you were shooting "coming to america 2," did you improvise with eddie murphy or is it just like too scary -- >> yeah, there were moments we kind of was throwing stuff out there, seeing what stuck, you know. it's weird. in this movie, "the drop,"

like -- you can do that when you have comics, all comedians in the room trying to get the line out. trying to be the funniest one in the room. it could be terrible. >> jimmy: sure. >> it could go really bad. but luckily, we had a great filmmaker to hone us in. remind us when where we needed to go. it's a very heavy film, you know. a lot of elements of it that's really dark. we had to get there as well. it's funny, we could do comedy, but there was a story to be told, too. >> jimmy: at the end did you feel blessed? >> i'm still sick. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: still sick. >> yeah, my stomach -- no, i'm joking. >> jimmy: they say, don't squeeze the shaman, very important. >> hey ya, shamans. no, man. i saw the film in tribeca, man. it was good, man. >> jimmy: nice. it's greato have you here. the movie is called "the drop." it premieres january 13th on hulu. jermaine fowler, everybody.
