-Don, I want to talk to you about "Black Monday,"
which I love.
This is -- you know -- Season 2.
And then it kind of just stopped
because of quarantine and I was like, "Oh."
Did you get all of the episodes filmed?
-Yeah, we actually were lucky. We got everything in the can,
but, you know, we have, obviously, a post process
and that's when the quarantine happened.
So we hadn't finished all the effects and adding music
and ADR and coloring and all the stuff
that we have to do at the end.
So we were lucky that a lot of these things could be, you know,
could happen from peoples' homes and -- But it's incredible that
you see how much you can get done, you know?
If you have to finish it in this way,
you will finish it this way, and we'll just all
hold our breaths and hope that the quality remains strong
because it's a good show.
-The first episode, it's not a spoiler to anyone out there,
but you do participate in a dance-off.
-[ Laughs ]
-Was that a shout-out to maybe, like, your old --
Who's in the music video? Weren't you in, like,
an old music video from, like, the --
-I was in an Angela Winbush video.
It was not my idea when we were talking about who would be great
to cast in the part, just in the part itself.
And Dule Hill's name came up.
I was like, "Yeah, Dule. For sure, he's amazing."
And then I was talking to the producers and I said,
"You know that Dule is a world-class dancer."
They're like, "No, we didn't know that.
We have to get that in the episode."
I said, "Yeah, we have to figure that out."
So, our insane writers room, you know, you throw them
that sort of meat, they're gonna figure out what to do with it.
So it just turned into a very --
a very hilarious moment on screen.
-It was awesome.
I think the first time I met you, we were --
I was on the dance floor.
I don't know if you remember this.
-Oh, I remember it.
I don't know if you remember it 'cause
I know you were in the cups.
But the very first moment that I actually made eye contact
with you in my life, in person, you looked at me,
I looked at you, and you started walking over.
You started taking off your shirt. I was like, "Whoa, whoa."
You said, "Oh, I completely misinterpreted that look."
[ Laughter ]
Your look.
-Oh, my God. What was I thinking?
-I don't know that you were thinking.
I think it was just an instinctual moment
'cause that could have gone any number of ways.
But that's when I immediately knew.
I was like, "Oh, we're gonna be fine."
And then you and Will and I --
You and Will Ferrell and I spent about 30 minutes
on trying to figure out who could make the dumbest entrance
into a party from the stairs, just for us.
I mean, one of the greatest actors in the world.
I remember Philip Seymour Hoffman
comes over and he sat down with us.
And we were just taking turns.
And he sat there for a couple minutes and then he was like,
"You guys are idiots."
[ Laughter ] And he just walked off.
He's like, "I don't even know why I came over here."
-God, that was so fun, man.
-Yeah, no, it's just for us.
-Before I let you go, I have to ask about "Space Jam 2"
because -- What can we say about it?
We know that you're in it, right?
Can you confirm that you're in it or no?
-I will confirm that I am in "Space Jam 2," yes.
-Did you flip out? Did you freak out?
Are you a "Space Jam" fan?
Are you a fan of LeBron? -Of course.
I mean, the opportunity to be in that movie in any capacity --
but the part that I got to play, it's -- it's really great.
And LeBron was really -- you know, it was just amazing
to see how he took it on.
You know, he was still dealing with an injury at that time,
and we were shooting the kinds of hours that he is not used to.
We were shooting 14-hour days,
and he was still in the process of putting the team together.
You know, A.D. was coming over.
So we would shoot and then he would go play pick-up
for a couple hours and then have to be
back on the set at 6:00 a.m.
-You get to play with LeBron at all?
-No comment.
-Ah, oh, ah, okay. Alright.
This is even -- Sometimes no comment is better than comment.
I love it.
-I know, it's the whole comment, right?
-Now I want to see the whole thing.
Don, you're the best. I love you so much.
Don Cheadle, thank you so much for coming on.
Everyone check out "Black Monday"
returning next Sunday night on Showtime. You're the best, dude.
Stay safe. -Thank you, Jimmy.
Great to see you, brother. -Thank you so much.
