and here on who asked word what can we do for you Kate I was just curious who is your
favorite actor oh uh you know that's a pretty good question and I want to be careful here
because I don't want to step on anybody's toes but they always refer to this guy as
as like the the current generation Jimmy Stewart and he's a double Academy Award winner and
and a great guy he's been on the show many times very very friendly very likable I'd
have to go with Tom Hanks Tom Hanks
thank you okay well there you go
that's who asked for it [Music] we'll be right back with Matt Damon ladies and gentlemen
thanks for helping out our little skit I appreciate it Tom X huh yeah he's damn good though it
is good it is uh now I saw this uh the Bourne uh ultimatum this is the third one in the
series isn't it yeah wow uh how impressive is this because not only is it multiple locations
it's all over the globe as you know but what a lot of work I mean my God you're huffing
and puffing and punching guys and stuff like that it must it must be terribly exhausting
to do these films uh it is yeah it is I and when we I none of us ever thought we'd make
it to uh to three of us is that right yeah the first one the first actually the first
movie when it came out uh my career was kind of you know there's an ebb and flow to things
and then we were at an ebb oh but you you had done the major films before this right
yeah but they I had there's kind of an Unwritten rule of uh three kind of a three strikes in
your out type thing and uh just box office wise so I'd done two movies that I was proud
of and uh but they hadn't done very well what were the films uh All the Pretty Horses and
uh which the directors caught I just loved and uh but that wasn't what was released I
see so that's a little problem uh and uh The Legend of Bagger Vance which didn't do very
well at the box office but it was Will Smith and Charlotte about a golfer is that right
that's right yeah I remember so but neither of them did very well um you saw him I guess
which is good I do what I can yeah I appreciate that you're 10 bucks really helped
but when the third movie the third movie was about a year the first born which was my third
strike uh was about a year delayed in coming out we've done about four rounds of reshoots
and uh the writer of the film who'd written a terrific script was the first writer in
uh in the history of Hollywood to arbitrate against himself so that he didn't get Soul
credit so that he actually shared credit for the movie with someone else because he didn't
want to take the bullet alone so there were some signals yeah you know yes but but uh
unfounded completely as it turned out right no it was kind of one of those things where
we all got together and We rescued it in the 11th hour and it went on to to to be what
it was but uh but there were these signals there that that made everybody think it was
going to be you know the third strike and did you really take that to heart you thought
oh my oh my gosh I may have to go back and uh you know start uh selling uh papers or
whatever I don't know what you used to sell what did you use to sell well Amway used to
sell Amway so that way
no no but I did actually I kept hearing uh I'm from Boston so I kept hearing Sean mcdonough's
voice in my head going big swing in a mix you know so but no I I was I thought so my
career was in this kind of low point and then the movie came out and uh and I had all these
film offers literally the Monday after the the movie opened so great yeah so it turned
out to be a wonderful thing and not only this summer you have the the number three but then
you were also in the other big Blockbuster of the summer with your buddy George Clooney
and Brad Pitt and those guys in the uh the Ocean's Thirteen in the Ocean's Thirteen yeah
yeah wow great now uh
do you have uh do you have your star on Hollywood Boulevard do you have one of those yeah wow
yeah and then also they used to uh and I don't know if they did it anymore at grumman's it's
not groundman's Chinese Theater anymore yeah sure it's still called Ground that's what
I call it uh people would put their hands and feet in the cement there do they still
do that they did we got to do it this summer I think George and Brad were doing it so they
let me do it too
we went with Jerry Weintraub the famous producer and we all put our uh hands and feet in the
uh in the cement and uh and George called me the night before like this conspiratorial
phone call going listen here's the thing and I take George's advice on all this stuff and
very good at this stuff you got to get big shoes I'm sorry gotta get big shoes
in the middle of the night but but I asked him what he meant and he said that they the
concrete actually shrinks and I realized I had remembered going there and you go and
you you see these Footprints of these and you're like Robert Mitchum had size five feet
you know it can't be you know John Wayne had girl feet so so I I looked through my closet
and I got the biggest shoes I had I wear an 11 but I had a 12. so I got the 12s you know
I went and George showed up wearing size 14s wow wow so how does he know stuff like this
I don't know I don't I don't know I think he has people out there investigating he's
got teams of people working man before we get too far down the road do you have a little
Matthew McConaughey oh man just a little just before we get out of time here just a little
the last time I did it was with he was here yeah and we loved it we all loved it and that's
all we talk about
Matthew McConaughey taking his shirt off doing whatever he's running around having a beer
I'll tell you what the barn off the main was coming out on Friday I might just have to
take my shirt off [Applause] [Music] [Applause]
man I still haven't seen Matthew I mean he's just gonna break me in half the great thing
about it is not only does he sound exactly like that you know he says stuff like that
it's the best part of it oh golly uh you're still in Florida you live down there I do
yeah in Miami Miami yeah enjoying yourself uh I like it down there yeah it's uh it's
where I'm with my family and kids happy everybody's happy down there yeah it's uh it's a it's
a it's a it's a quiet place and it's away from the from the industry and stuff so I
like so are do you kind of stick out because you're Mr big shot in Miami or the Customs
that sort of thing there uh well no I mean everybody's pretty pretty cool I did have
one incident where I've gotten into trouble like a couple times in my life by trying to
use my uh you know my uh my celebrity or whatever whenever I try and do that it backfires before
a fall that's right and so I try not to be too proud you know um but uh yeah so I these
people called me and uh and they said listen there's this radio contest and I was like
come on please don't you know and they said no no they're gonna give ten thousand dollars
or this trip to the Bahamas which is worth ten thousand dollars to the most famous person
who calls in and uh and I said well I don't want to do that and he said no no no we'd
like to do it these they ran a a a auto painting shop they said we'd like to do it on behalf
of our auto painting shop but if you did it we were going to donate everything to the
Children's Hospital oh that's to the Joe DiMaggio and then it's fine so I said well and I was
still on the fence because I didn't you know but I was listening driving my stepdaughter
to school all week listening to the most famous person they had by the Friday which was the
deadline was Lonnie Anderson there you know Solani Anderson called in the the weather
guy yeah really you know and uh and so I thought you know I might have a shot at this thing
though Lonnie Anders is pretty good though she's terrific and so I but so I I kind of
weighed it you know I weighed my options and and uh with with 10 minutes to go on the deadline
I called the auto body people I said listen I'll make the call that's great and so I called
them up and you know I did the interview for five minutes and I very nice feeling good
about myself and I saw the people later that night and I you know hey all right we did
it and they said no uh we lost really and I said Lonnie Anderson beat me and it turned
out that with about a minute to go in the deadline Sean Connery had called
oh that's awful that's off having no idea that I called I'm sure I'm sure he didn't
know I'm sure if you're gonna lose Sean Connery you know it's a good guy that's right Tom
Hanks exactly no no Matthew McConaughey either uh now uh let's show uh folks a clip here
now this thing opens on Friday and this will be the third will there be more after this
one because I know in this one and maybe I shouldn't say this but I know the ending is
ambiguous right but not ambiguous but you know what I mean yeah ambiguous so will there
be do you think there will be or not another one uh I have you already shot the fourth
no no no no no we uh there you know maybe down the line if they came up with another
one I mean we really like just making three movies that are good is really hard to do
and people like this one so we're just gonna put this one out there and see what happens
uh well I thought I bet there'd be a fourth one but the thing I noticed about this is
that uh this guy knows how to do stuff because you've been trained to know how to do stuff
and he's really pretty good with his fists right so when you beat a guy up it's not just
your standard beating a guy up I mean it's really beating a guy up I I couldn't get over
that one guy you just pummeled him and pumbled him and pummeled him and then when you think
it's over then you strangle them
I thought wow that's pretty impressive yeah that's that's that's kind of the message we
like to put out in the summertime
well it works
anyway Let's uh what what is this and oh how about a Julia Styles boys yeah she's terrific
what are we going to see here the scene with Julia Stiles um where we first meet up and
we were not expecting to see each other and we basically decide to uh go on the Run uh
