HOW ARE YOU, JASON?
>> THE SECOND YOU CALL ME BEAUTIFUL, I HAVE TO
STRIKE A POSE.
>> James: YOU DO LOOK BEAUTIFUL.
I'M LOVING THIS WHOLE LOOK.
>> THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
>> James: WE BOTH HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN.
I THINK OUR DAUGHTERS ARE ALMOST THE SAME AGE.
HOW ARE THEY DOING?
HOW HAVE THEY BEEN COPING THROUGH THIS PAST FEW
MONTHS?
>> I MEAN, THEY'RE GREAT.
OTIS AND I ARE WATCHING "STAR WARS," AND HE'S
GETTING TO PLAY VIDEO GAMES MORE.
HE LOVES IT.
I DON'T THINK HE WILL EVER GO BACK TO SCHOOL AGAIN.
I THINK HE IS DONE WITH LEARNING.
HE KNOWS 24 OF THE 26 LETTERS, AND HE IS FINE.
HE'S LIKE, I GET IT.
AND DAISY HAS MATURED, SHE IS THREE, ALMOST FOUR, AND
SHE IS IN THE FULL-BLOWN MAJOR MODE.
I GOT HOME YESTERDAY, AND SHE ASKED, YOU KNOW, OUR
NANNY -- OUR NANNY HELPED HER OUT, AND SHE ASKED
HER, SHE PUT HER FULL HEAD IN ALL HAIR ROLLERS.
AND SHE LOOKED LIKE FRENCHIE FROM GREECE.
AND SHE WAS, LIKE, I WANT CURLS IN MY HAIR.
AND LAST NIGHT SHE SAID, MOM, I'M PREGNANT.
AND SO SHE IS HAVING A PREGNANT THREE OR FOUR
SO IT IS PRETTY EXCITING.
[LAUGHTER] >> James: OH, MY GOD.
MY DAUGHTER, CARRIE, IS FIVE.
AND S SHE SAID TO MY WIFE, I HEARD IT FROM UPSTAIRS,
STOP GAS-LIGHTING ME.
I PROMISE YOU, I WAS, LIKE, YOU'RE FIVE.
AND SHE WASN'T GAS-LIGHTING YOU.
SHE WAS SAYING, IT IS TIME FOR DINNER, YOU NEED TO
SIT DOWN TO EAT NOW.
[LAUGHTER] >> SHE IS GOING TO TELL
YOU TO STOP MANSCAPING.
I FEEL LIKE 98% OF PARENTING IS GAS-LIGHTING.
>> James: THAT IS BEING A PARENT, I'M GOING TO
GAS-LIGHT YOU BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT TO FALL TO
SLEEP.
>> WE'RE WATCHING "STAR WARS," AND YOU'VE GOT THEM
WATCHING OLD HITCHCOCK MOVIES OVER AT YOUR PLACE.
>> James: LET'S TALK ABOUT YOUR SHOW, "TED
LASSO," AND I'M A BIG FOOTBALL FAN, MY FOOTBALL,
NOT YOUR FOOTBALL, AND YOU CO-CREATED THE SERIES AND
YOU STAR IN IT.
TELL EVERYBODY WHAT IT'S ABOUT.
>> YEAH.
I PLAY A SMALL-TOWN COLLEGE FOOTBALL COACH
FROM KANSAS HERE IN THE STATES, WHO GETS HIRED BY
AN ENGLISH PREMIER-LEAGUE TEAM TO COME OVER THERE
AND BE HEAD COACH OF THEIR TEAM.
IT'S AS SIMPLE AS THAT.
A FISH OUT OF WATER, AND A GUY, EVEN THOUGH HE IS OUT
OF WATER, HE IS DROWNING BECAUSE HE HAS NO IDEA
WHAT HE IS DOING.
JUST SEEING HOW HE GETS ALONG OVER THERE.
>> James: IT IS INCREDIBLE THAT IT ALL
CAME FROM A COMMERCIAL THAT YOU DID.
I CAN REMEMBER WHEN YOU WERE TELLING ME ABOUT IT,
AND YOU WENT TO LONDON TO SHOOT THE SHOW.
>> YEAH.
>> James: HOW DID YOU ENJOY -- I'M HAVING LOTS
OF FEELINGS OF MISSING HOME AT THE MINUTE.
AND HOW DID YOU ENJOY YOUR TIME IN LONDON?
>> IT WAS FANTASTIC.
WE WERE WORKING OUR BUNS OFF, BUT WE TRIED TO PICK
UP AS MUCH CULTURE.
WE WENT TO SEE A FOOTBALL MATCH, A LIVE ONE, AT
LEAST EVERY OTHER WEEK, AND THE ONES WHERE WE
COULDN'T GET TO THEM LIVE, WE WOULD HANG OUT AT A
PUB.
BECAUSE WE COULD WRITE A LOT OF JOKES WHILE DOING
ALL OF THAT.
SIT IN A PUB AND IT IS ALL TAX WRITEOFF AT THAT
POINT.
I WAS LIVING IN KNOTTING HILL, WHICH IS LOVELY.
YOU THINK RICHARD CURTIS, "101 DALMATIANS," LOVELY.
AND WHEN WE WERE THERE, I GOT THERE PROBABLY
MID-AUGUST, AND THE END OF AUGUST, ARE YOU FAMILIAR
WITH -- KNOTTING HILL CARNIVAL IS NOT SOMETHING
THEY PUT ON THE AIRbnb.
IT LOOKED INCREDIBLE.
BUT WE WERE RIGHT ON THE OUTSKIRTS.
I'M THINKING THIS IS GREAT IF WE WANT TO PARTICIPATE
IN A CARNIVAL.
IT IS 2.5 MILLION PEOPLE THAT GO TO LIKE A 6-BLOCK
RADIUS.
>> James: YEAH.
IT IS INTENSE.
>> I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS, AND TOO BUSY TO LOOK
IT UP AT THAT POINT, WE WERE JUST JAMMING AT THAT
POINT.
I'M OKAY, WE'RE ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF IT.
I SAW TWA TWO BLOC IT WAS TWO BL OVER.
I SAW ALL OF THE LOCAL BUSINESSES BOARDING UP
THEIR WINDOWS, AND I WAS OKAY, SOMETHING ELSE IS
GOING ON HERE.
I GAVE YOUR PRODUCERS A PHOTO, AND I COME HOME ONE
NIGHT AND I SEE, LIKE, FOUR GUYS, CLEARLY A CITY
JOB -- FOUR GUYS BUILDING -- THEY HAVE FOUR
TRASH CANS -- BUILDING STAIRS UP TO THE TRASH
CANS.
THAT'S IT.
SO I SEE THIS DOWN FROM THE STREET LEVEL, AND I
GO, IS THAT WHAT I THINK IT IS?
AND THEY GO, YEAH, IT'S TOILETS.
WE'RE BUILDING TOILETS.
THERE ARE 500 OF THESE ALL OVER THE PLACE FOR PEOPLE
TO PEE AND POOP AT ANY POINT DURING CARNIVAL.
THE GUY GOES DON'T WORRY, SOMEONE IS COMING BY LATER
TO PUT A BACK ON IT.
[LAUGHTER] >> James: AND HE SEES
THE BACK.
THIS IS RIGHT OUTSIDE YOUR PLACE IN LONDON.
IT IS JUST A TRASH CAN WITH A SET IN FRONT OF IT.
>> SO PEOPLE POOP.
AND THE WALLS -- YEAH, THEY ATTACH A LITTLE
TROUGH THERE SO GUYS CAN PULL OUT THEIR DING DONGS
AND URINATE RIGHT INTO THE STREET.
AND THEY LABEL.
BUT THE FIRST PHOTO YOU SHOWED, THAT IS THE VIEW
FRM MY CHILDREN'S ROOM.
>> James: WERE YOUR KIDS THERE WHEN CARNIVAL WAS
HAPPENING?
YEAH -- WELL, AFTER I SAW THAT, WE WENT TO A HOTEL
FOR TWO DAYS.
>> James: VERY WISE.
>> I WAS, LIKE, OH, THIS IS FOR REAL.
WE DON'T NEED THIS MUCH CULTURE ALL AT ONCE.
>> James: CONGRATS ON THE SHOW.
