[ laughter ] i can't believe it! and you've got to come to my house in the hamptons." >> do i still have an invitation? do you have a house in the hamptons? >> jimmy: no, i don't. but you can come to my house whenever you want. >> where is it? >> jimmy: i won't tell my wife. [ laughter ] but yes, whenever. whenever you want to. >> i'll bring my husband. >> jimmy: ian was there last night. sir ian was there. [ light laughter ] >> ian: you bet. >> jimmy: we had a great time. absolutely. now, you started -- it's interesting. you have such an interesting career, because you started as a p.a. -- >> i sure did. >> jimmy: -- on "the howie mandel show." >> i did. my first job out of college i was being howie mandel's assistant. >> jimmy: i don't even remember him having a show. >> he did. he had a talk show.

my god, it was probably 10 years ago. that ages me a bit. but yes, it was, yeah. >> jimmy: and you would just go -- and what would you do? >> yeah, it was funny, because he still did have his germophobia then. but he allowed me to get him lunch everyday. and i took it very seriously. i was like, "nobody touch his lunch. nobody breathe on it." >> jimmy: he has a big germ thing, right? >> he does. he does. >> jimmy: and he shakes your fist? >> he's like, "what's up, paula? how you doing?" but he was my best boss. the best boss. awesome. >> jimmy: super cool, yeah? >> super cool guy. >> jimmy: and then after that you went to -- you did this medical show. >> i did. i worked on this show called "medical diaries" on the discovery health channel. and we did every surgery, gastric bypass surgery, heart surgery, births, everything. >> jimmy: and then -- >> and then it ended. we did every surgery under the moon. >> jimmy: you ran out of surgery? >> we ran out of it. now it's in syndication forever. >> jimmy: well, you're behind the scenes. but then what made you, like, go "i have to be an actress"? >> you know what? i took a year off. i told people i was going to write a screenplay, but in truth, i was at home watching a

lot of daytime television, going out at night, being a bit of a loser. yes, it is true. and then i was sitting at my desk trying to write a screenplay and i said, "paula, why are you procrastinating so much? this shouldn't be this hard. you know, if it's your passion, you should be able to do it." and i was sitting there. and i thought, "what did i love to do since i was a little girl?" and it was act. i'd always acted in my parent's backyard, putting on plays, playing all the characters. and i said, "screw it. i've got nothing to lose." so, i started taking acting lessons and classes. and i found the right shoes that fit. >> jimmy: absolutely. you definitely, definitely did. >> oh, thank you. >> jimmy: and now you're in "precious." everyone's talking about this. you got to tell me about this movie. >> yes, well, you know what? i am reluctant to tell people the actual details of the story, because people say it's dark and it's about a young girl that's pregnant for the second time by her father -- and i play a school teacher that comes into her life and gives her hope. but really, it's -- >> jimmy: i have a cameo in this movie, too. no, no, just kidding. "hey, precious, it's me, jimmy fallon!

come to my house in the hamptons!" no, no, they cut my part out. this is much more serious. >> but i like to tell people, it's really like -- buying a ticket to the movie is like buying a ticket to the roller coaster of life. when you see this movie, you are going to up and down. you're gonna laugh. you're gonna scream. you're gonna cry. and at the end of the ride, you will be a bit shaken, but your heart will be more open, you'll have more compassion. it's a film that breeds love. >> jimmy: i love that. and i know oprah got involved and tyler perry got involved. >> yes. >> jimmy: that's it right there. >> pretty awesome. you know, we played -- >> jimmy: that's good luck. once oprah goes, "i like that." >> we prayed to the god of oprah everyday. >> jimmy: oprah says she likes this. it's the best. everybody is getting a microphone! yay! [ cheers and applause ] oprah says -- >> no, i am telling. we pray to the god of oprah everyday on that movie, because we didn't have distribution, so i didn't know if this movie would just come on netflix and i'd be having a premier in my mother's living room. >> jimmy: absolutely. >> and so then, when she got onboard, you know, everything changed. >> jimmy: and i know mo'nique is

supposed to be amazing. >> magnificent. i've never seen a performance quite like that before in my life. she's just -- you know what she does? she makes somebody that you don't understand -- you can't understand why people do the horrific things they do. and she makes you understand how somebody can slowly descend into madness and do these horrific things. and in that, there's some healing that happens for everybody. >> jimmy: you are a teacher who helps precious. >> true. >> jimmy: because precious gets put into a school for troubled -- or no? >> well, not troubled, but the thing is that she is allowed to go on, from grade to grade, and she doesn't even know how to read. and this is really her last chance to get her g.e.d. and hopefully her high school diploma. and i'm the teacher she finds. >> jimmy: so cool. and your mom, in real life, your mom was a teacher? >> yes, my mom was a great inspiration for the role. she was a teacher for 35 years in the los angeles public school system. and she was one of those teachers that always went above and beyond the call of duty. >> jimmy: that's awesome. i love teachers. i think it's the most underrated job in america. >> absolutely. yes. [ cheers and applause ]

>> jimmy: well, you have to come back and i can't wait to see this movie. >> thank you, jimmy. >> jimmy: you are gorgeous and you're so good. >> aw! >> jimmy: paula patton, everybody.
