-Welcome back. Did you --
That was stressful. -Yeah.
I have, like, quite an adrenaline rush right now.
-You do? -Yes, I do.
-But do you like this?
Is this the way we should always do it?
A game with you before we talk?
-Yeah, it kind of breaks the ice in a nice way.
My heart rate is still really high.
-I'm very competitive. I'm sorry about that, yeah.
-I didn't know that I would be decent, actually.
And I -- So that was -- that's good.
-You were phenomenal, by the way.
-I felt like I was okay. [ Cheers and applause ]
-You were more than decent. You were more than decent.
-I just thought it was going to be real bad,
and I wasn't as bad as, well. -This interesting though to me
because last time you were on the show,
we were talking about "Doctor Strange."
-Yes, we were. -And you were like, "I don't --
I don't -- Jimmy, I don't know.
I never know if the movie is going to be big or not big.
I just don't know. I do my best and blah, blah, blah."
And I go, "It's going to be giant."
You were like, "I just don't -- I don't know."
And it went on to make over $950 million.
-I don't know. -Almost a billion dollars.
[ Cheers and applause ] -I don't know.
-What do you mean you don't know?
-No, but I guess it did. It did.
-It definitely did it. Yes, it did.
It's a giant, massive hit.
-That's a wild number.
-It's an insane number.
-It's a weird number that I can't really --
I don't know what to equate it to, those numbers.
-But you haven't seen it still?
-No, I haven't seen it still. [ Laughter ]
-Yeah. Is it because, just, you don't see your own movies?
Are you one of those? -I wish.
No, I'm not one of those. I'm like one of those people
who, like, wants to study something so I can figure out
how to make it better. -Yeah.
So you just haven't gotten around to it.
-No. I had a cold when we had the premiere,
and I didn't want to sit through it.
-You did have a cold? -I did have a cold.
-I remember that. -And then I -- Yes,
because I was here, and you gave me that spray.
-Yeah. Did it work? -It was fabulous.
-Alright, good. -Yeah.
And so I asked them to send me a copy so I could watch it.
And it was -- like, it had my name on it,
and then it had the time I was watching it
And I didn't want to watch it like that.
-Oh, because it's Marvel, it's very tricky when you --
-Yes. -They call them the screeners.
And if they give you a screener of a movie,
you go, "Oh, my gosh." But they put a watermark on it
in case you somehow sell it illegally.
-Yeah, so my name would be on it, and the exact time and date.
-Imagine if you did that. -And it was just distracting.
Could you imagine if I did do that?
-It doesn't seem like you at all, to me, to do that.
-How do you even do that? Like, who do you send it to?
Like, how do you even record it on a computer?
-I tried to do it when I was a kid
in high school with two VCRs. [ Laughter ]
-That's how I watched the Olympics.
I would leave a VHS tape in the TV
and then I would record it while I was at school.
-Well, I think you're allowed to do that.
-Oh, yeah, yeah, you're allowed to.
You're trying to do something illegal.
-I was doing something illegal.
Yeah, and I got busted.
They had a thing. It would go dark and light, dark and light
and it was clearly -- I couldn't make money that way, yeah.
-Whoa, you were trying to bootleg stuff
like on the streets of your school?
-No, no, no, I think just make a copy for myself.
I didn't have to keep renting "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure."
[ Laughter ] -I see. I see.
-"I can't keep doing this."
Are you going to do more Marvel?
-I hope so.
They don't tell me anything about my fate. So I --
-They don't even let you know that you're coming back?
-No. I don't know.
-But you're -- I mean, you can --
-I should come back. -Yeah, of course.
[ Cheers and applause ] Of course you should come back.
-But I really -- I don't know.
I want, like, fans to be, like, so aggressive, you know,
and, like, terrify them into doing it or something.
I mean, that's not a good way to do anything actually.
I really take that back. -Well, the fans love you.
-Yeah. No one needs to use, like, force.
-No. We love you. We just want to see more of you.
-I would love to do more.
-"WandaVision," you just crushed that as well.
[ Cheers and applause ]
I would do that --
I would love any -- I would love any of the -- all of the above.
All of the above. -Yeah. And I'll watch the movie.
-Yes. -It's streaming, I heard.
-Yes, it is. There you go.
And your name will be on it just for a little bit at the top.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah. [ Laughter ]
-And then you're in the whole movie.
Can we talk about this? -Yes, please.
-Last time you were here, we unveiled the cover
"Hattie Harmony: Worry Detective."
And I was very excited because I love kids books.
-Yes. You write beautiful kids books.
-No, no, but I just love reading them too.
Trust me. There couldn't be more kids books written in the world
'cause I just need -- I'm tired of the same book.
I've read them. I've tried to push them to the other side
of the room, they keep ending back and I'm like,
"Alright, let's read it again. 'Good Night, Moon,' here we go!"
[ Laughter ]
And it's good, but I'm ready for some new classics.
But this one, tell me about this.
You wrote this during the pandemic with your...?
-Yes, I did, with my husband.
And we were already wanting to
write children's books pre-pandemic.
And it made sense to write one about children's mental wellness
or really just dealing with worries and anxieties for kids
and teaching them emotional language for the first time.
So, it's "Hattie Harmony: Worry Detective," and she is a cat
who goes to school called Wildwood Elementary.
And she helps her friends identify their worries.
And then she gives them tools on how to deal with it.
-It's so cute. I love it. [ Applause ]
Marissa Valdez does the illustrations.
-Yeah, very cute illustrations.
If I do say so myself.
-Yeah, I love the --
This is where someone has butterflies in their stomach,
and she gets a butterfly net to get them out.
-Pearl Peppercorn, the porcupine,
has butterflies in her stomach.
-I saw there's -- there's this photo that you and your husband
have been doing that's going around on the Internet.
-Yeah. -Of I want to say flat Hattie?
-Flat Hatties. -Flat Hatties.
-Yeah. -Yeah. This is flat Hattie.
Where are you here?
-We're in Italy pre-getting COVID.
-Yeah. This is before, yeah.
-Yeah, and so, we'd take Hattie with us wherever we'd go.
And my husband carries her literally everywhere --
the gym, Dodger games. -Yeah.
I love that -- here it is -- -We're really big Dodger fans.
-You're giant Dodger fans. -We're giant Dodger fans.
And so, every single player with a kid on the team,
they don't know this yet,
but they will be getting a "Hattie Harmony."
[ Laughter and applause ] -'Cause you love them that much?
-We love the Dodgers. -But anyone out there, you can
draw your Hattie Harmonys and start Flat Hattie'ing
around wherever you are.
Is it true that I heard Hattie is here tonight?
-It is true. -Somewhere in the audience.
-She's a really big fan. -She's a fan?
-She's a big fan of "The Tonight Show" and the Roots.
-And the Roots, of course. -And so she wanted to be here.
-Can we see her?
Oh, there she is. Oh, my gosh.
-And that's my beautiful husband, Robbie Arnett.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-And, of course, that is your awesome husband.
Hey, buddy, good to see you, pal.
Congrats on the book.
Congratulations on the book. Have a great summer.
