-My first guest tonight is a talented and hardworking actor.
He stars in the show "See" on Apple TV+.
Here is Jason Momoa!
[ Cheers and applause ]
That's my man! Ahh!
Ah, I've missed ya. I love you, buddy.
It's so good to see you!
-I love you! I love you, Jimmy. I'm sorry I'm not there, bud.
-No, please. Anything. I understand.
Next time -- Next time, I want to see you in person, pal.
You look great.
That's exactly what you want Jason Momoa to look like.
Am I wrong? You are a stud. Look at you. Look at you, bud.
[ Cheers and applause ]
I love it! I love the set. I love the hair.
Would you ever cut your hair short?
-Hell no.
-Yeah. Never, right? No. Have you ever?
-I mean, I'm not a big fan of haircuts or cutting anything.
My beard or -- I'm -- Yeah.
-Yeah, just grow it all the way out.
-Well, you know, most of the roles I play --
Like, "See," I've got to have long hair.
"Aquaman," I've got to have long hair.
So until I need to play that role, I'll wait.
-Yeah. Would your wife be cool with you if you cut your hair?
-Probably not.
-I wanted to talk to you about --
I know Justice League, the Snyder cut,
the director's cut came out during quarantine.
Four hours, by the way. I loved it.
-I thought it was fantastic.
I was going to ask you. What did you think of it?
-I mean, listen, I love Zack.
And that's kind of what I signed up for,
whatever, eight years ago, is to have his vision.
And, you know, the cool thing about that four-hour piece
is that I didn't reshoot anything.
Like, that was all there. -Really?
-So it's interesting when people come up to me and they're like,
"Oh, I really love this, and it was so detailed,
and it explained so much."
I'm like, "Yeah, that's what we went and shot."
I didn't have to redo anything.
So, you know, because of the tragedy and, you know --
I'm happy we made one, but I'm really happy
that we got to release his art, and a lot of fans are happy.
-Yes.
-And the truth of it is, I like the four hours.
And normally we watch shows that are, you know --
It's just a four-part series.
So, I like the extended
and spending time with the characters, so...
-Well, Aquaman made another appearance
this year on Instagram.
Dwayne Johnson. Do you know what I'm talking about?
-Oh, yeah.
-Yeah, Dwayne asked you to make a video for his daughter,
'cause his daughter loves you.
My kids love you, too. My whole family loves you.
We're just big Jason Momoa fans. But we have a clip of it.
Here's Jason Momoa's birthday message to Dwayne's daughter.
-I'm sorry I couldn't be there. But I love you.
And tell your papa that I love him, too.
Happy third birthday.
-Yay! -Yay!
-Yeah.
[ Cheers and applause ]
That's so cute. But I love that.
He asked her -- He's like,
"Who is cooler -- Daddy or Aquaman?"
And she didn't even think for a second.
She goes, "Aquaman." That's so funny.
Do you know Dwayne for a while? -Yeah.
I met him, gosh, almost 20 years ago.
We were in Hawaii when we met,
and we have a very close friend, who --
You know, we kind of met through that and stay in touch.
And we've tried to get together and make a movie together.
It's just he's way busier than I am,
and I'm pretty busy right now, so one of these days...
-You have to make a movie together. You have to.
-We will, and it's really cool now,
because he's kind of in my pocket.
So I can call him up and be like, "Yo."
I got him. -You owe me a favor." Yeah.
"I did the birthday message. Now you've got to do a movie."
Exactly. Yeah.
Before we talk about "See," I wanted to quickly mention
another project you're doing.
You're involved in the new "Dune."
That is going to be giant, buddy.
-It is a masterpiece.
It is -- I've never been in anything, like, on that scope.
Denis is a genius. And I got to see it.
It was really cool 'cause my kids were up here,
and so we got to take them to it.
It's the first time I got to see something like that
with my kids. It's a very adult movie, but so beautiful.
-Yeah. -The cast is massive.
-Yeah, oh, it's heavy hitters. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That comes out -- Come back for that, too.
That comes out on October 1st in theaters and on HBO Max.
But now I want to talk about "See"
because this is fantastic.
It's on Apple TV+ and just renewed for season two.
But then I just heard today
it got renewed for season three, as well.
So congrats, bud! Dude.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-It's huge news. It's huge news.
Because it's literally the --
It's probably the hardest and greatest character
I've ever played just in the sense of, you know,
the whole world is blind.
-Yeah. -It's just very challenging.
And I love the cast. I love the crew, the world.
And it's tough. If I'm not fighting, I'm crying.
And just -- It's pushed me on so many levels.
-Yeah, you're right. But that's kind of --
That's kind of what I think about you when I think of you
in general. I mean, you're a big dude.
You're an actor. I mean, you're a tough guy.
But, also, you're a family guy,
and you're one of the nicest guys I've ever met.
And so I like watching you do this.
Because you get to fight people and, you know, crush people,
and then you also get to love your kids.
And it's like -- Yeah.
-Yeah, it's a man trying to keep his family together.
It's beautiful and it's emotional,
and I love the journey, so I'm really excited
to do another season with everybody, and so --
Yeah. -Here we go.
I want to show everyone a clip of season two of "See."
Check it out.
