>> John: I TRIED. THEY WOULDN'T LET ME.
I DID BECAUSE IMAGINARY FRIENDS, THERE'S A LOT OF VISUAL EFFECTS
THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE ACTUAL IFS ONSET.
IMAGINARY FRIENDS. SO I WOULD PUPPET THE IMAGINARY
FRIENDS TO THE OTHER ACTORS. >> Stephen: IS THAT WHAT THIS
IS? THERE IS RYAN REYNOLDS IN THE
BACKGROUND. YOU HOLDING A PUPPET UNICORN.
>> John: THAT'S A PUPPET UNICORN AND THAT'S MY WIFE.
EMILY BLUNT IS THE VOICE -- >> Stephen: SHE IS SO
VERSATILE. >> John: I KNOW, RIGHT?
>> Stephen: WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?
THAT'S A PINK ALLIGATOR. I WOULD INTERACT WITH THE ACTORS
FOR THEM LIKE THEY NEEDED THAT. THEY RELY, HONESTLY, JUST STAND
BACK. THAT IS MY DAUGHTER'S REAL
IMAGINARY FRIEND. I WROTE THE MOVIE FOR MY KIDS.
THANK YOU. BEFORE THAT I THINK THEY THOUGHT
THAT I WAS AN ACCOUNT THAT I WAS LIKE, I'M GOING TO WORK IN THERE
LIKE "YEAH RIGHT." THEY COULDN'T SEE "JACK RYAN" OR
"A QUIET PLACE." >> Stephen: SO THEY DON'T KNOW
WHAT DADDY DOES? >> John: THEY DO NOW.
I'D HAD THIS IDEA FOR A LONG TIME BUT DURING THE PANDEMIC I
SAW THE LIGHT GOING OUT AND MY KIDS AND I SAW THEM SORT OF
TRYING TO FIGURE OUT LIFE AND FIGURE WHAT WAS GOING ON AND I
WROTE A MOVIE TO SHOW THEM THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE.
THERE'S ALWAYS SOMEONE THERE BEHIND YOU HAS YOUR BACK AND YOU
CAN ALWAYS TURN TO. [APPLAUSE]
THERE YOU GO. >> Stephen: THAT'S LOVELY,
REALLY LOVELY. >> John: THANK YOU.
>> Stephen: THERE WAS A TEASER IN THE SUPER BOWL TONIGHT.
>> John: THERE WAS. WE DID A FUN BIT.
>> Stephen: THAT'S A PRICEY AD.
I WANT TO GET YOU YOUR MONEY'S WORTH OUT OF IT.

>> Stephen: I LOVE YOU, CINDY. I DIDN'T HAVE AN IMAGINARY
FRIEND. >> John: WE'VE GOT TO TALK
ABOUT CINDY. IT'S THE ONE I THINK I AM THE
IMAGINARY FRIEND. IS THERE A CHILD NAME CINDY?
HAVE YOU FINISHED THE MOVIE? >> John: I HAVE NOT.
I'VE A COUPLE MORE DAYS. ALREADY GOT IT.

IT'S GROCER. >> Stephen: IT'S MORE GROSS
WHEN YOU STICK YOUR FINGER IN MY MOUTH IT'S NOT GROSS BUT IF I
WIPE AWAY, JUST NOTHING SPECIAL. NOTHING BAD.
>> John: IT'S GETTING WORSE. >> Stephen: IT'S CALLED "THE
FALL GUY." HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT YOUR WIFE
IN A ROM-COM WITH KEN? HE'S GOT THAT KENERGY.
>> John: I KNOW I AM KENOUGH. >> Stephen: IN A FIGHT, WHO
WOULD WIN? JACK RYAN OR KEN?
>> John: IS HE PLAYING A ROLE OR IS IT HIMSELF?
IF HE IS PLAYING HIMSELF. HE WOULD HAND ME MY LUNCH.
HE WOULD KICK. >> Stephen: YOU'RE A BIG GUY,
MAN. >> John: AM I?
>> Stephen: WHAT? YOU'RE A GUY.
>> John: HAVE I EVER PROVEN IT TO YOU?
>> Stephen: YOU HAVE TRIED. NO, [BLEEP] YOU.
RIGHT NOW. RIGHT NOW, DAMN IT.
ALL RIGHT, HERE WE GO, BABY. I AM GOING TO WARN OUR
AFFILIATES WE MIGHT BE GOING LONG.
TELL RYAN GOSLING! >> John: I AM WARNING OUR
AFFILIATES, TURN AWAY NOW. TURN AWAY.
IT'S ME WHEN YOU'VE GONE SOFT. YOU'VE GONE SOFT.
COME ON, LET'S DO IT. READY?
>> John: I AM TWISTED. MY BACK.
