women. >> reporter: in a statement to nbc news, google denied the claims, saying, in part, we disagree with the central allegations. job levels and promotions are determined through rigorous hiring and committees. we have systems in place to ensure we pay fairly. google's workforce is made up of 69% men and 39% women. tech workers are 80% men and 20% women. the chief financial officer says they're trying to change. >> we're treeing to see more people from underrepresented groups. >> reporter: google is being investigated by the labor department for unequal pay. the company has denied those allegati allegations. >> i look at the women who put their names on this lawsuit. i am impressed. not only are they standing up for fair treatment at google, but they're making a bet on their future. these are serious technologists. they want long careers in technology.

and i think also the incredible community around him. the people, with all of the complication and all of the messiness and complexitiecompley love him so much. and you start to realize, that's the only thing that matters at all. >> i'm glad you mentioned the humor. i mentioned my tears. i have to say, you play it with such heart. and you really see, jeff, your personality. and you are a very, very funny guy. i know the premiere was -- he's like, thank you. that's right. i'm quite hilarious. >> thank you. >> don't be so serious over there. >> did you see me staring off into space? i was reading the teleprompter. >> jake, tell them what happened when we were doing the tease before. >> i was doing the tease. and now, coming up jake gyllenhaal and jeff bauman. and jake was reading the teleprompter. >> you can't put a teleprompter in front of me. i'm going to read it. >> during the flip, jake is telling jeff, perk up.

>> dr. kalish came in because there were doctors auditioning to play doctors and nurses. and our director was not satisfied with the performances. we had a meeting to discuss what happened with jeff. and we turned to each other and say, maybe he can play the doctor. we had him audition. and he was really not good. >> but he's a great surgeon. >> then, he just said what he said to his family and to jeff. and all of a sudden, we said, we don't need a script. we have everybody come in and behave as they did. >> it's not acting. we have to go. what do you think of jake's boston accent? did he get it? >> it was all right. >> that's a compliment. i'll take that. >> he's raving. >> two out of five stars. yes. >> he worked really hard. >> he did. and it shows. it's really excellent. thank you so much. jake and jeff. >> thank you, guys. >> good to see you.

and he died. i didn't know that there was, you know -- i thought that she just left and was left to reign for the rest of her life. but she suddenly met this young man when it was -- everything had been suppressed and everything. she had a wonderful bit of life. >> it filled her up. made your character happy and joyful. >> had a nice time and laughed and learned from him. >> i felt there was some of you in this. when you come here, kathie lee and i interviewed you, i'm laughing. i watch you rap and i'm laughing. there's some joy in you that radiates out. we encourage people to see this movie. it's a great movie.
