-Joel, since you are a great actor
and you're quick on your feet, I thought that it would be fun
if we put your movie knowledge to the test.
It is time for "A to Z." Here we go.
-♪ A to Z, A to Z ♪
-Now, here's how it'll work.
You and I are going to have a conversation
about our favorite movies, but the catch
is that each time one of us brings up a new one,
the title has to start with the next letter of the alphabet.
We'll go back and forth and see if we can get
all the way from A to Z.
Are you ready for this?
-It's the English alphabet, right?
-[ Laughter ] -Yeah.
Well, tonight, we're using the English alphabet.
That's correct.
I'll start off the conversation,
and then you'll start with the letter "A" and your first movie.
Joel, this summer,
blockbusters, giant movies coming out this summer.
People are getting back into the theaters.
What are you excited to see or what do you remember
your first blockbuster that you saw?
-Oh, I'm very excited to see "Almost Famous II."
-[ Ding ] -Oh, yeah.
Yeah, that's a great -- I loved the first one, yeah.
-Yeah, the manager in that was incredible.
-Yeah. He really was amazing. Deserves an award.
Thank you very much.
I'm looking forward to the reboot of "Bad News Bears"
just to see if I can -- -[ Ding ]
I mean, because I'm a big fan of the old ones.
-I get that. Do you ever --
Jimmy, I know that, like, New York gets hot in the summer.
Do you ever just want to get away
to, like, a "Cold Comfort Farm."
-[ Ding ] -Wow!
[ Laughs ]
-You ever seen "Diner" with Mickey Rourke?
[ Ding ]
-Yeah, I've seen it. It's great.
Tim Daly is in that, as well.
Boy, that answer just went "Every Which Way But Loose."
[ Ding ]
[ Laughter ]
-Yeah, I almost belong on a "Funny Farm."
[ Ding ]
-Boy, wouldn't that be a "Great Muppet Caper."
[ Ding ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
-I remember "Great Muppet Caper." I used to watch --
It was a double feature. That and
"Harry and the Hendersons" in the same thing. It was good.
[ Ding ]
-Hmm. Yeah.
And the thing about Harry is that he was, you know, real.
It wasn't a puppet.
Everyone knows that Sasquatch is real,
but a lot of people, when I get into that conversation,
we just have "Irreconcilable Differences."
[ Ding ]
-Yeah, but do you ever see
the documentary about the real dinosaurs.
[ Laughter ]
The theme park with, like, real dinosaurs in it.
It was a documentary.
-Oh, yeah. "Jimmy Neutron"?
-No.
[ Cheers and applause ]
No. "Jurassic Park" is what it was called.
It's a great documentary. -You know, I don't know that,
and it's just nice to be with you, Jimmy,
'cause you're a real "King of Comedy."
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Thank you very much, because I thought what we had
was "Lost in Translation," buddy.
-Ohh.
I didn't think because I don't think it's lost at all.
I just know that "M is for Murder"!
[ Ding ]
[ Laughter ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
-I want to tell you something, and this is just between us.
I've "Never Been Kissed."
[ Ding ]
-Oh. You should go to "Orlando."
-Are you sure?
[ Laughter ]
You sure?
-I swear you should go to "Orlando," you "Oldboy."
[ Laughter ]
-Okay. Yep. -Okay.
Well, whatever. I hope you find some "Office Space."
-[ Ding ] -Yeah, there you go!
Thank you. I will because -- - -Those are all movies.
I swear! -No, I know they are.
Yeah, they are. You know what I always think is funny?
I don't know if to say,
"Pirates of the Cuh-ribby-in" or "Pirates of the Cara-bee-in."
Isn't that weird?
-Uh, I think it's "Cara-bee-ahny."
It's a very -- It's an unknown pronunciation.
But, anyway. [ Sighs ] This one's hard.
-Yeah.
-Okay, if I say the phrase,
"We are the mods, we are the mods,
we are, we are, we are the mods,"
do you know what I am talking about?
-Yes, yes, yes.
You're talking about the band -- Pete Townsend and Roger Daltrey.
-"Quadrophenia" is the movie!
-That's correct. "Quadrophenia" is a good movie.
[ Ding ]
Yes. It was almost as good as "Road House."
[ Ding ]
-It was no "$cheme" that has the dollar sign for the "S"
that you appeared in, Jimmy Fallon.
[ Ding ]
You remember that.
[ The Roots laughing ]
-You know, I don't remember that because that was not what
the movie was called when I filmed the movie.
-Was it "Sheem" or was it --
-I was in a film. My first film was called --
Yeah, "The $cheme" is what they ended up calling it.
That's very interesting. It was --
-It was really good, if you can find it.
[ Laughter ]
[ Audience oohs ]
-It came out and sank like the "Titanic."
It really did.
-Aww. Well, they should've used "U-571" to go get it.
[ Ding ]
-Oh, uh, maybe they'll use "Valkyrie" in the movie.
[ Ding ]
Tom Cruise is in a lot of movies.
-He is.
-In the backlot of Universal, they have a big --
a big thing that you can drive through.
-Right. That's right. I've been there on that tour.
"The Wicker Man" tour.
-[ Ding ] -That's not true.
-I was thinking "War of the Worlds,"
but, yes, "Wicker Man" tour was the one, yes.
-Oh. -But it's like all space stuff.
Some of it you would see in the movie "The X-Files," maybe.
[ Ding ]
-You mean "Fight the Future"? "X-Files: Fight the Future"?
-That's correct. Is that what it's called?
-I don't know.
The Spanish translation is "Y Tu Mama Tambien."
[ Laughter ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
♪♪
We're not done!
-Well, you left your mark like "The Mark of Zorro."
Joel McHale! "Crime Scene Kitchen."
"Crime Scene Kitchen" premieres
