[ Cheers and applause ] ♪♪
Hi! Yeah! -What's up?!
-Oh! Can you feel the love from New York for Sarah Silverman?
-Hi! -Hi, bud.
-I brought you a gift.
-Oh, you -- Thank you.
-Yeah, because it's close to Valentine's Day,
and the movie "Marry Me" comes out on Valentine's Day.
-Yep. -And I know you like chocolate.
And so I thought I'd just give you this.
But I'm not there, I realized.
-Yeah, I thought someone was going to
bring it out to me or something, but no.
Yeah. -No.
-No. -I'll just, like, ASMR it.
-[ Laughing ] Oh, my -- -Oh, my God!
-Oh, please. Well, you know what it is?
It's the thought -- -You would love this.
-You know what it is?
It's the thought that counts, Sarah.
How many chocolates are in that box?
-I only ate one, but then I was like,
"I can't swallow it whole."
-That's true, yeah. -You have to savor it.
-No, you have to savor it. Sarah --
-Go on, go on. I'll be ready.
-You're back to doing stand-up, which I'm excited about.
What things are you talking about now in your act?
-Can I just do a bit that isn't even a bit?
-Yeah. -I don't know what this is.
-Okay. I love this.
-It's something like if you went up to somebody,
like, you walked up to a stranger,
and you could say something like, "Hi.
You don't know me.
Oh, this is so weird.
But I -- Somebody you love who has passed away
wants you to know it's not your fault?"
I mean... -That's fantastic.
-...I just think it's interesting.
-Wow! They're strangers.
-Because, Jimmy, it's a lie, but it's also, like, the truth,
you know?
There isn't anybody who that wouldn't be very moving
and, like, release them from burdens.
But it is a lie.
Yeah.
-You're alleviating people from the guilt.
I think it's fantastic.
And I think it's -- I think it's a good bit.
Are you doing any joke, like, specific joke-jokes?
-Ooh! I wrote, like, jokey-joke,
like a joke-book kind of joke.
-I love this. I want to hear this.
-Alright. -Yes, we love this.
-Okay.
What did the Jewish mother
say to her porn-star daughter
after watching her in a gangbang?
[ Drumroll ]
-What? -"You were the best one."
-Oh, my goodness. -"You were the best one."
I just love that stereotype, you know,
that Jewish mothers are just so bananas for their kids.
-They really are.
-"My Sharon, anywhere you could fit a schmekel,
there was Schmekel.
-Okay!
-Top of her knee, a schmekel. Her forehead, a schmekel.
You ever seen a schmekel on an elbow?
The left one, a doctor."
Too much? -Oh, my gosh.
-I thought I really cleaned it up for this.
-Oh, my gosh. Unbelievable. Unbelievable.
[ Applause ] Applause break.
Applause breaks through Zoom.
You do a thing on your podcast
where you give advice to listeners.
And I love that part of your podcast.
Have you always given advice to people?
Are you good at that?
I mean, have you always done that?
-Yeah, I think so. I -- Yeah.
I mean, I was just in New York.
My best friend, Heidi, lives in New York.
You've met her, actually. And she loves you.
And she was like, "I've had diarrhea for like three days.
I don't know what is going on."
And then -- You know when you're in New York --
She had me go into her backpack.
She was like, "Get my water out of my backpack."
-Yeah. -And I get her water out.
She has, like, half a bag of prunes in her backpack.
I was like, "Heidi, I solved the case.
You're eating prunes." -Yeah, exactly.
-She's like, "They're not prunes."
And then she pointed to it. She goes, "They're dried plums."
I said, "What do you think prunes are?"
She's like, "Are they dried plums?"
Yeah. She's a therapist, by the way.
I just want to point that out.
But I get it.
Like, Big Prune was probably like,
"We need to rebrand."
-Big Prune.
-People hear "prune," they think diarrhea.
So, yeah, call yourselves dried plums.
I think they should be called dried plums,
but it should come with a warning that says like,
"Warning -- these are prunes."
-Prunes. Yes, of course.
Big Prune is taking over.
It's so sad to see that happen. -Big Prune.
-I want to talk about your movie, "Marry Me."
The buzz is, this is going to be --
this is going to bring back the rom-com.
You're saving the romantic comedy.
-Jimmy, it's our movie. [ Cheers and applause ]
It's -- You have Jennifer Lopez.
Anything Jennifer Lopez in a movie, I'm there.
Jennifer Lopez -- -Same.
-I mean, how fun is it? How -- She's just the greatest.
-And she's -- By the way, like, you know,
you see her on Instagram, you see her on TV, and in movies.
And they have filters, and they do beauty work.
And, yeah, she's beautiful, but in person --
-In real life. Oh, stunner.
-She's a monster. No.
She is so beautiful. -She's so stunningly beautiful.
-I mean, I look at her this close and I'm just like, "How?
How is it possible?"
-And she can sing and she can dance
and she can -- You do --
-Amazing singer, amazing dancer, awesome actor.
I love her movies. -Yeah.
-Anytime her movie is on, I'm -- I stay there.
She's just -- She's electric.
And then there's Owen Wilson, who is another favorite,
I mean, but so different, such a different realm.
Like, his writing, his comedy, his beautiful acting.
And they're so different, but it's, like, electric, you know?
-Yeah. -It really is.
It is bringing back the rom-com.
I think you're so right. -I want to show everyone a clip.
Here's Sarah Silverman, Jennifer Lopez, and Owen Wilson
in "Marry Me."
Take a look at this.
-Charlie! Come in!
-Oh, she's right there. Jesus.
-Come over, guys.
Charlie, Kat. Kat, Charlie.
-Hi. -How are you?
Oh. [ Chuckles ]
-Okay. [ Laughs ]
-I'm Parker.
I'm -- I am the one who brought Charlie to the concert,
so I'm basically --
I guess I'm responsible for this whole thing.
-Hi, Parker.
-Hey, Kat.
-Hi.
-Would you do me a favor, uh, just two seconds
and just say, "Roxy, you really blew it"?
-"Today Show" is a go at 10:00 on Tuesday.
-Sorry. -They want, uh, uh...
-Um, Charlie.
-Charlie in studio and Kat remote from London.
-Kat. -Excuse me one second.
I just have to take...
-Bye, Kat.
She's, like, a real person. -What's going on?
-Yeah! She's a real person.
You blew it, Roxy! Sarah Silverman, everybody!
