INTRODUCE YOURSELF UNLESS THEY STICK THEIR HAND OUT.

THE TOP OF THE AUDIENCE, HE NEVER SAT IN T HE ALWAYS STOOD.
AND EVERY NIGHT FOR CURTAIN AND BOWS AND FOR INTROS, OH T IS
GOING TO MAKE ME CRY, HE WOULD BE AT THE TOP AND HE WOULD GIVE
ME A THUMBS UP. AND ALL THE CREW AND CAST, THEY
KNEW MY DAD SO WELL. SO IT WAS A THING WHEN WE WOULD
COME OUT THEY WOULD ALL GIVE MY DAD A THUMBS UP.
AND THE WHOLE AUDIENCE ENDED UP DOING IT, IT WAS LIKE A WEEKLY
THING. >> James: NO.
>> IT WAS JUST VERY SPECIAL FOR ALL OF US, MY DAD STILL MISSES
OUR LIVE TAPINGS AT BIG BANG. I COULDN'T DO A SLOW WITHOUT HIM
AT THAT POINT. IT HAD BEEN YEARS, SO I KEPT
THINKING YOU CAN'T MISS ONE NOW, ARE YOU PART OF THE SHOW.

FROM WHEN YOU WERE A YOUNGSTER, RIGHT.

HE WOULD ASK ME MAKE A SMILEY FACE, MAKE A SAD FACE, BE ANGRY,
TRYING TO SEE KIND OF WHAT I HAD, I WAS SUCH A HAM AND I
STILL HAVE ALL THOSE TAPES BUT THAT WAS MY DAD HELPING ME OUT.

NOT EVEN A PRANK, THAT IS JUST ILLEGAL.
BUT NO, WHEN I WAS LIKE WHEN I WAS IN 8th GRADE, FOR
EXAMPLE, ON THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL, I RELEASED 3,000
CRICKETEDS IN THE SCHOOL HALLWAY RIGHT BEFORE LUNCH AS EVERYBODY
WAS STORMING OUT. AND IRONICALLY MY MOM WAS THE
ONE WHO TOOK ME TO BUY THE CRICKETS.

IS ABOUT FIGHTER PILOTS SAVING THE WORLD.
ST A BLAST, I PLAY THIS GUY NAMED HANGMAN WHO IS THE KOKIEST
FIGHTER PILOT IN THE NAVY AND HE SAY BLAST.
>> James: IT IS SUCH A GOOD FIM, OBVIOUSLY EARLIER WE SAW ME
AND TOM CRUISE UP IN THE AIR WHICH WAS ONE OF THE MOST
EXCITING TIMES OF MY LIFE, BECAUSE OF TOP GUN YOU GOT YOUR
PILOT'S LICENSE. YOU CAN ACTUALLY FLY A PLANE.
>> YEAH, YEAH. ON THE MOVIE WE FLEW IN THE SES
MARKS THE L39 AND THE F18 SO I GOT A LOVE OF AVIATION THROUGH
TOM AND OVER THE COURSE OF THE ENTIRE EXPERIENCE I GOT ENOUGH
HOURS TO WHERE I BASICALLY WAS REALLY CLOSE TO A PILOT'S
LICENSE SO I JUST FINISHED IT AND NOW I'M FLYING AROUND
EVERYWHERE. >> NO WAY.
>> I DIDN'T FLY HERE. >> James: NO.
>> YOUR RUNWAY HERE AT CBS-- . >> James: HE MUST FEEL LIKE A
PROUD DAD, TOM CRUISE. >> HE FEELS THAT WAY.
LIKE HE IS ONE OF THOSE GUYS THAT HIS ENTHUSIASM BECOMES YOUR
ENTHUSIASM AND HE IS JUST A GUY, HE WOULD LITERALLY CALL ME AFTER
I WOULD DO LIKE MY FIRST CROSS COUNTRY.
HE KNEW THAT WAS COMING UP SO HE CALLED ME, AND MY FIRST SOLO
FLIGHT. AND WHEN I GOT ON THE GROUND
AFTER MY CHECK RIDE AND SIGNING MY PILOT'S LICENSE, THIS GUY,
VERY MISSION IMPOSSIBLE HANDS ME AN ENVELOPE, AND SAYS YOU KNOW,
PLEASE OPEN THE ENVELOPE. OKAY.
AND IN IT WAS A NOTE FROM TOM THAT SAID WELCOME TO THE SKIES.
AND-- HE DOES THAT TO PEOPLE. >> AND THEN THERE WAS A
CERTIFICATE FOR STUNT DRIVING LESSONS.
>> James: OH MY GOD. >> THAT'S AWESOME.
