Hey, I wanted to say thank you.
You said-- you and Howard both-- but you
said some really sweet things about me on Howard Stern.
And I just love you for that.
Thank you.
Oh, you're the best.
You're-- you know what's weird, I think I was with Eddie
Murphy, your first Tonight Show appearance,
way back with Johnny, and I was in the entourage,
like some day maybe I'll be a comedian.
And I remember being there watching you
on The Tonight Show.
I was like, "Wow, she's really good.
I got to work hard.
I got to take it up a notch."
You're so sweet.
Thank you so much.
The last time I saw you, you were backstage.
You came here, and you didn't sit in the audience.
You came because your daughters wanted to sit in the audience
and watch the show.
So you hung out backstage.
And did they enjoy it?
They loved it.
It was your show--
it's like after I got divorced, so every spring
break I had this week with the kids,
and it was our thing to go to LA, go to The Ivy,
go to these places, go see Ellen.
Go back-- Ellen's going to come back and say, "Hi."
We're going to watch our favorite bands.
And we did it.
Now my oldest is in college now in London--
in Paris.
Wow.
And I don't know if I'm going to see her this spring break.
Wow.
And how does that feel that your daughter is in college,
and now she's not even with you?
She's in Paris.
She is in Paris living it up.
So weird, I just talked to Naomi Campbell a couple of minutes
ago, and she's taking her to dinner Saturday night.
So I'm hooking her up with people.
I got ladies over there and JR, and my kid just living it up
in Paris.
Wow.
very cool.
Yeah.
So and you're--
Who would-- it's my greatest accomplishment.
I dropped out of high school, dude.
Yeah.
And your younger, so the other daughter is at home with you,
and you got matching tattoos.
No, Lola, we got matching tattoos right before she left,
so we got--
well, we didn't match.
We just-- what happened was my daughter said to me--
and she's been saying this for years, "When I turn 18,
I'm getting a tattoo.
I'm just letting you know when I turn 18, I'm getting a tattoo."
And then in the last couple of weeks,
she said, "You know what, you should probably come with me
and make sure I don't go crazy.
You should probably get one too."
And we agreed, and we went and got--
we got-- we both got these Basquiat crown tattoos.
So your daughter's name is Lola?
Lola Simone.
That's right, and you know who else--
so Kelly Ripa's daughter is named Lola,
and she wants a tattoo right now.
And so that's, I guess, all girls
named "Lola" want tattoos.
Yeah, they actually went to the same school, Lola
and the two Lolas.
Oh really, that's hilarious.
So you must be exhausted.
You're getting ready to host the season premiere of SNL
this weekend, and this is a first--
it's the first show back in the studio.
How's it going?
It's weird, man.
You get tested like literally not every hour,
but you get tested pretty much every day.
Everyone around you is tested.
Everyone has a mask on.
There are some people who have double shields on.
Some people have gloves on.
It's weird, but I guess it's necessary.
So this is the price to work.
I'll do it.
Yeah, that's what's happening here too.
We have very few people here, and everybody
is covered up completely.
And we're tested every day.
And but you're going to have an audience, which is great,
obviously, further apart.
And Jim Carrey is playing Joe Biden.
Yeah.
How's that going to be?
I watched-- me and Jim watched the debates together
last night, the debate.
So it was pretty cool.
I hadn't spent that much time with Jim in like 20 years.
And he is Jim Carrey.
He is the most energetic, funniest guy probably
we've ever seen.
And to watch him watch Joe Biden and then do Joe Biden
and then maybe do a little Trump and then do a little Clint
Eastwood, it was--
and he's very political at the same time,
so it was it was a riot just watching
the debates with Jim Carrey.
Yeah.
It's going to be good this Saturday.
That's what I'm trying to say.
Yeah, I can't wait.
But just hearing the two of you watching the debate,
you all probably had more fun than any
of us watching that debate.
That seems like you all actually had fun.
We were all terrified.
It was pretty scary.
Yeah, it was scary.
We have to take a break, Chris.
We'll be back.
More with Chris after this.
