HOW DOES IT FEEL? IT LOOKS GOOD ON YOU.
>> IT'S HEAVY, IT'S DOOL. >> James: IT IS LEVEE, IT'S
HEAVY, IT'S COOL, WHAT WOULD YOU SELL IT FOR.
>> I DON'T KNOW, I LOOKED IT IT UP, IT IS LIKE $800, I THINK,
FOR RAW MATERIAL, IT IS $WILL00. >> James: 800.
>> WOULD YOU TAKE 7. >> James: YOU KNOW WHAT I

THAT IS IT IT WILL, ARE YOU CAN ADDIAN, YOU PLAYED A LOT OF ICE
HOCKEY GROWING UP. >> THANK YOU.
>> James: IS IT IT TRUE FOR A LONG TIME, THE ONLY PIECE OF ART
THAT YOU OWNED WAS RELATED TO FIGURE SKATING?
IS THIS RIGHT? >> YEAH.
I WAS WORRIED THIS WOULD COME UP.
I DID FOR MANY YEARSES I HAD IN MY APARTMENT IN NEW YORK, YEARS
AND YEARS AGO AFTER THE WHOLE TANYA HARDING THING, I HAD A NEW
YORK POST FRONT PAGE TAPED TO THE WALL AND IT SIMPLIED SAID
BOBBY GUARD FINGERS TONYA. AND BECAUSE I WAS A SKATING FAN.
>> James: YEAH. >> AND I JUST ALWAYS THOUGHT, I
ALWAYS THOUGHT HOW HARD ARE THEY LAUGHING RIGHT NOW IN THE
NEWSROOM, DO YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
>> James: THAT IS AMAZING. >> YEAH, WE GOT AWAY WITH IT,
YOU KNOW. >> James: YEAH, THEY DID, THEY
GOT AWAY WITH IT, AND SOMEONE IS LIKE YEAH, PRINT IT.
ARE WE ALLOWED IT TO SAY THAT, NICK, ARE WE ALLOW TO SAY THAT
SOMEONE FINGERED SOMEONE. >> YOU HAVE TO BE A LITTLE
CAREFUL. >> YOU HAVE TO-- .
>> James: I'M ALWAYS CAREFUL WHEN I'M [BLEEP].
YOU KNOW THIS. >> THIS IS KIND OF LIKE A PSA
NOW. THIS IS EXCITING.
>> James: THAT IS WHAT IT IS. >> BUT THIS IS THE CLOSEST I
HAVE EVER COME TO AN ACTUAL OLYMPIC MEDAL WHICH IS PRETTY
IMPRESSIVE. >> James: YES, IT IT REALLY
IS. NATHAN, EVERYTHING ABOUT YOUR
PERFORMANCE AT THE OLYMPICS WAS ELECTRIFYING.
IT WAS SO INCREDIBLE. >> YEAH, IT IT WAS.
I. >> James: I WANT TO TALK TO
YOU ABOUT THE MUSIC THAT YOU CHOSE BECAUSE I LOVED IT IT IN
THE FREE SKATE YOU SKATED TO A MEDLEY OF ELTON JOHN SONGS.
>> YEP. >> James: WHAT MADE YOU DECIDE
ON GOING WITH ELTON. >> IT WAS DONE LIKE TWO YEARS
ARGH AND DONE BY MY CHOREOGRAPHER OUT IN MONTREAL.
HE IS THE COACH OF LIKE 11 DIFFERENT ICE DANCE TEAMS.
AND SHE JUST GAVE ME, AT THE TIME ROCKET MAN CAME OUT, SHE
SAID HEY, WATCH THIS MOVIE, SEE WHAT YOU THINK, I LOVED IT.
I LOVED THE MUSIC. SKATING FOR ME, HALFWAY THROUGH
THE PROGRAM ARE YOU TIRED, I NEED MUSIC THAT BRINGS ENERGY
AND ELTON JOHN WAS PERFECT FOR THAT.
>> James: IT REALLY IS GREAT. DID YOU HAVE ANY-- CAN YOU
REALLY CHOOSE, ARE THERE ANY RESTRICTIONS ON WHAT MUSIC YOU
CAN CHOOSE? >> GENERALLY, YES.
ALTHOUGH ONE OF MY FRIENDS AT THE LAST GAMESES WITH-- FOR
SKATING WITH SOME MUSIC. >> WHO WAS THE BAND.
>> I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER. >> I WANT TO SHAME THEM.
>> James: IAN IS LOOKING IT UP.
DON'T WORRY GUYS, IAN IS ON IT. HE IS LOOKING IT UP.
SO ARE YOU ALREADY THINKING NOW LIKE OH, THIS WOULD BE A COOL
THING TO SKATE TO IN THE NEXT OLYMPICS, WHEN DOES THAT START
TO COME INTO YOUR MIND. >> I THINK NOR ME THE MOST
IMPORTANT THING IS WE TRAIN EVERY DAY SO IT HAS TO BE
SOMETHING YOU LIKE TO LISTEN TO BECAUSE AFTER TWO MONTHS YOU ARE
GOING TO BE LIKE NAH, I DON'T FEEL.
THIS BUT AS FOR THE OLYMPICS, HAVE I TO LOVE IT, AND THAT'S
KIND OF IT SWRZ ANY THOUGHTS, WHAT WOULD YOU WANT TO SKATE TO.
>> OH MAN, I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR SOME---- .
>> James: I THINK YOU SHOULD DO LIKE MOVE BITCH GET OUT OF
THE WAY. >> I LOVE THAT.
>> James. >> OR YOU COULD GO CLASSIC MORE
YOU COULD DO INNER SANDMAN OR ANYTHING FROM THE RUSH CATALOG
IF YOU WANT TO GO LIKE TOM SAWYER OR SOMETHING.
>> James: RUSH WOULD BE UNBELIEVABLE.
>> CLOSER TO THE HEART AND THEN-- .
>> James: BECAUSE YOU HAVE SOME, YOU HAVE HISTORY HERE
BECAUSE IS IT RIGHT NATHAN THAT YOU ACTUALLY USED WILL'S OLD
COSTUME FROM GLADE OF GLORIES AS A-- I MEAN TALK TO ME, WILL,
TALK TO ME ABOUT THIS. HOW, THIS IS THE ONE.
THIS IS THE BEST ONE, THIS ONE. THIS IS JUST UNBELIEVABLE.
WHAT WAS IT LIKE WEARING SPANNED EX-ALL DAY, HOW FORGIVING IS
THAT. >> NOT VERY.
AND I WILL SAY THIS, WE WERE IN MONTREAL AS WELL, WILL FERRELL
AND I SHOT THE WHOLE SCENE OUTSIDE WEARING SPANNED EX, IT
IT WAS LIKE 40 BLEE BLO, I THOUGHT I WILL PUT LONG
UNDERWEAR ON AND MI NOT VERY SMART AND IT DOESN'T PROTECT
AGAINST THE WIND, SO PUT IT THIS WAY, WHEN I SAW THAT STORY LAST
WEEK ABOUT THAT NORWEGIAN CROSS COUNTRY SKIER.
>> YES. >> I GOT IT.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. >> James: YES, BECAUSE HIS
[BLEEP] FROZE, RIGHT, BLOAP BLOAP.
>> HANG ON ONE SECOND, CAN WE SAY HIS BLOAP BLOAP FROZE IN THE
SAME SENTENCE AS FINGER? >> James: CAN WE NOT SAY THAT,
SORRY NICK, HOW SHOULD I SAY IT. >> YOU CAN SAY THAT HE HAD A
FROZEN PENIS. >> OKAY.
>> James: YOU BY CAN'T SAY HE HAD A FROZEN [BLEEP].
>> I CAN SAY-- DON'T-- I CAN TELL YOU DON'T BE A DICK BUT YOU
CAN'T SAY-- . >> James: YOU CAN'T BE A DICK,
SO BASICALLY. >> YOU CAN'T SAY HE KNEW IT WAS
FROZEN BECAUSE HE [BLEEP] IS [BLEEP], I'M ASKING FOR A FRIEND
WHO HAPPENS TO BE ME. >> James: YEAH.
YOU CAN IMAGINE THAT, HAVING A FROZEN [BLEEP].
>> NO. >> James: A FROZEN PENIS.
>> FOR DINNER. SORRY, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE
QUESTION IS. LET ME JUST SAY.
LET ME JUST SAY THOUGH WE DID BLADES OF GLORY, IT WAS A LOT OF
FUN AND WE REALIZED HOW HARD IT IS, HAVE YOU EVER SEEN BLADES OF
GLORY. >> I HAVE, OF COURSE,
INSPIRATION. >> WAS IT AN INSPIRATION.
>> IT WAS AN INSPIRATION. (APPLAUSE)
>> AT EASE.
OKAY. YEAH, I MEAN WE COULD GO AHEAD
AND IF I WAS REALLY AN INSPIRATION, A SMALLER FONT BUT
IF YOU WANT TO PUT MY NAME ON THERE.
>> SHARE ENOUGH. >> JUST THAT WE SHARED IT.
I WAS GOING TO SAY DOING THAT MOVIE, YOU KNOW, IT WAS A MOVIE
SO YOU SHOOT LITTLE BITS AND EXHAUSTED.
AND THEN KNOWING WHAT THESE GUYS DO, THE ATHLETICISM IS SO OFF
THE CHARTS. AND IT IS REALLY AMAZING WHAT
YOU DID. AND I AM IN A-WE.
>> James: IT REALLY IS, IT IT TRILLION IS.
>> THANK YOU. >> James: I MEAN
HORCHESTLY-- HONESTLY, I'M IN AW OF ANYONE WHO CAN SKATE AND LET
GO OF THE SIDES. SO WHAT YOU DO, IS BEYOND MY
COMPREHENSION. AND YOU'RE ABOUT TO HIT THE

>> IT IS THE WHOLE U.S. OLYMPIC TEAM.
WE GET TO COME TOGETHER. IT IS REALLY CELEBRATORY FOR US,
WE HAVE FUN WITH THE TOUR. IT IS COOL BECAUSE WE ARE ABLE
IT TO PERFORM PLACES THAT I DON'T THINK SKATING WOULD GO TO
OR WE WOULDN'T REALLY SEE OURSELVES END UP THERE IF NOT
FOR THIS TOUR. NOT THAT EXISTING DOESN'T EXIST
IN THESE LOCATIONS BUT WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO HAVE ALL OF
US THERE AT ONCE, A LOT OF FUN. >> James: IT IS GOING TO BE

HAD A COUPLE OF GREAT SHOWS, I WILL SAY.
WE ALSO SHOT THE WHOLE THING. WE SHOT A DOCUMENTARY AND A
SPECIAL THAT IS COMING OUT LATER THIS YEAR OF ALL THE SHOWS AND
BEHIND THE SCENES. AND THEN WE GO TO CHICAGO, WE
ARE DOING THIS Q & A WITH A BUNCH OF PEOPLE AND EVERY
PERSON, ALL THESE WOMEN WOULD GET UP TO THE MICROPHONE AND SAY
JASON, I WOULD LOVE TO SEE-- YOU ARE MY BOYFRIEND, MY HUSBAND
DOESN'T KNOW, AND THE NEXT WOMAN WOULD GO I DON'T KNOW WHO THAT
LADY IS BUT YOU'RE MY BOYFRIEND. AND FIVE TIMES IN A ROW AND I

OLYMPICS, HOW EXCITED ARE YOU TO GO BACK?
WHAT DID YOU FIND YOU MISSED MOST ABOUT COLLEGE LIFE.
>> I'M REALLY EXCITED TO GO BACK IT IS JUST A COMPLETELY
DIFFERENT LIFE, I GREW UP SKATING AND SKATING WAS KIND OF
IT SO GOING TO SCHOOL, BEING ABLE TO BE A COLLEGE KID FOR A
BIT WAS REALLY FUN. >> James: ARE YOU GOING TO GO

OH, HE WENT HOME, YOU GOT A JOB, I WON A GOLD MEDAL.
NO? >> I DON'T THINK SO.
>> James: YEAH, DON'T, IT COULD BACK FIRE, COULD BACK
FIRE. >> YOU COULD ALIENATE A LOT OF
PEOPLE. BUT THERE IS A WAY TO DROP IT IN
THERE, LIKE IF ARE YOU WITH YOUR FRIENDS AT A RESTAURANT, AND HE
IS LIKE WE HAVE TO PAY THE BILL AND THEN JUST PULL OUT YOUR GOLD
MEDAL. >> James: THAT IS EXACTLY.
>> SORRY. >> James: IT IS IN MY OTHER
POACT, THOUGHT IT WAS MY WEALTH. THAT IS 100 PERCENT A MOVE.
>> IT IS ONLY $WILL00 BUCK SO I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH IT WILL
CARRY. >> James: IT IS A GOLD MEDAL.
NOW WILL, LET'S TALK ABOUT MURDERVILLE, FOR ANYONE WHO
HASN'T CAUGHT UP WITH IT, TELL US WHAT IT IS ABOUT, WHO YOU
PLAY. >> MURDERVILLE, WE BORROWED IT
FROM AN ENGISH FORE MAT THEY ORIGINALLY CALLED MURDER SUCCESS
TOM DAVID, GREAT GUY, AND HE ALLOWED US TO BRING IT OVER AND
PARTNERED WITH US AND PRODUCED IT WITH US.
WE TOOK THE MAIN-- I PLAY A COP HERE IN SEATTLE AND HE IS A
HARD-NOSED COP AND IT IS KIND OF LIKE IMAGINE EVERY EPISODE I
BRING ON A NEW GUEST, HOMICIDE TRAINEE WHO IS MY PARTNER AND
THEY HAVE NO LINES, NO DIALOGUE. THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS
HAPPENING. AND WE HAVE TO GO AND SOLVE A
MURDER. WE FIND A BODY, WE INTERGATE
SUSPECTS, TALK TO THE MEDICAL EXAMINER AND THEN THEY HAVE TO
DECIDE WHO IT WAS WHO KILLED THE PERSON AND IT IS COMPLETELY
IMPROVISED. SO WE HAVE-- I HAVE A SCRIPTED
AND I KNOW WHERE THEY ARE GOING BUT THEY COME ON AND ARE
IMPROVISING AND I'M IMPROVIESESSING AND ALL HELL
BREAKS LOOSE T IS PRETTY NUTS. WE WEREN'T SURE IF IT WOULD
WORK, SHARON STONE AT ONE POINT WAS HOLDING A SCALPEL OVER A
DEAD BODY AND I THOUGHT-- . >> James: A REAL SCALPEL.
>> AND I THOUGHT SHE MIGHT MURD SOMEBODY.
AND I SHOULDN'T LET THAT HAPPEN. >> James: NO.
>> SO IT WAS JUST A HIGH WIRE ACT ALL THE TIME.
BUT IT WAS SO FUN. >> James: THE SHOW IS
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT. YOU AS EVER ARE FANTASTIC.
