-Welcome back. -Thank you.
-Oh, I love that little lapel pin.
-Thank you. It's a mushroom. -I love it. I get it.
I get it -- -Because --
-No, no, I understand. -No, because --
-No, no, no. I understand. Don't explain.
-Because -- -No, no, no.
You like mushrooms.
-Yeah. -That's right. Yeah.
Last time you were here, we had the best time.
I appreciate you coming to the show.
And you were very nervous and excited
because your wife, Katherine, was very pregnant
and was about to have a baby. -That's right.
-And you had your phone out. -Just in case.
-You go, "Just in case anything goes down
just during this interview." And...?
-We had a deal that if she was born
while I was on the show that I would name her Jimmy.
-Questlove?
[ Drum roll]
-She's named Eloise 'cause she was not born...
-Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Wow. Beautiful. No, no, Beautiful.
[ Sad tuba plays ] -Bohm-bohm! Boo, Eloise!
-No, no, no! -One day you'll see this,
and you'll know that I wish your name was Jimmy...
-No, we love you. -...not Eloise!
-Eloise. Wait. That's beautiful.
-Isn't that beautiful? Yeah.
-You are now the father of three.
Does that ever sink in, bud?
-Wow. -This is -- You're a dad.
-Whew! -Yeah. I mean...
-Yeah. Thank you. -You're a fun dad.
-I love it, man. Yeah, I have --
-You have a 10... -I got a 10-year-old,
2 1/2, and 10 months.
-Ooh!
The 10-year-old is my son Jack. And then Lyla...
-Oh, yeah. Lyla. How's Lyla doing?
-Oh, my gosh. She's --
She's the best. She's so girly. She's so cute.
She loves dresses and bows and all of the princessy stuff.
Pink is her favorite color. And she loves to chat.
She's a real chatterbox. She'll talk --
She was talking to my sister on FaceTime,
and then my sister later said, she goes,
"Lyla is like the personification of a Mad Lib
'cause she knows all these words,
but she doesn't quite know how to really use them."
So she'll -- The other day, she said, "Daddy, Daddy.
I'm going to Palm Beach in two minutes!"
I said, "You are?"
She said, "Yes. I'm going with Santa Claus.
We are going to bring all of the sand."
-Yeah. Yeah.
-I was like, "That's exactly a Mad Lib."
-Give me a noun. Give me a noun. -Give me an adjective.
-Yeah. And how's Grandpa?
Arnold Schwarzenegger is your grandpa.
-Yeah. -He goes by "Opa."
-Oh. -You know, he's Austrian.
German. "Opa" is "grandfather" in German.
So he goes by "Opa."
-[As Arnold] Did he have a cigar?
-Oh. [ Laughs ]
-Did you have a cigar with him?
-Yes. Yes. -Yes. You had the cigar?
-Yeah. -[Normal] He loves his cigar.
-He loves his cigar. -He came on the show.
He taught me how to smoke a cigar.
-Yeah, he kind of taught me, too.
I mean, there's nothing manlier than Arnold Schwarzenegger
smoking a cigar. -Yes.
-And when you're part of, you know, bringing
his granddaughter into the world,
he comes and he brings you a cigar and he's like,
"Let's go out and smoke these."
And I was like, "Okay," but I have asthma,
so I don't like cigars.
And I was like, "You got it, Arnold?
And Katherine's like, "What are you doing?"
I was like, "I'm fine. I'm gonna be okay."
And so I go and I smoke the cigar and I'm like,
"This is good.
[ Coughs ] Hmm. Oh, yeah. Cohiba? Nice."
And then woke up the next day. Massive lung infection.
But -- Worth it. -You always have to --
If Arnold says, "Let's smoke a cigar..."
-You go, "Okay." -Let's do it. Yeah.
You go, "Yeah." -There's peer pressure,
and then there's... -Arnold Schwarzenegger.
-...Arnold Schwarzenegger pressure.
No, you do whatever -- He came on.
I said I want to understand it and how to do it and everything,
because I smoked a couple of cigars.
I don't know when.
And I'm like -- You bite the end off
and then you, like, lick the side.
-He goes by, "You don't bite and the lick.
What are you talking about?
You don't lick the cigar! You don't lick it and bite it!"
So I go -- I think I did. He's like, "No!"
He goes, "Next time I'm in town, I'll teach you.
I'll take you to a cigar bar, and I'll teach you how."
I go -- And he's a man of his word.
Called me on the phone. -No.
-Said, "Jimmy, it's Arnold. I'm going to a cigar bar."
And I was with --
I was with Drew Barrymore and my wife, and I go,
"Do you guys want to go to a cigar bar
with Arnold Schwarzenegger?" They're like, "Let's do it."
We showed up, and we all smoked cigars.
-Come on. -It was the best.
Love that dude. Congrats, Opa. Opa?
-Opa Arnold. -Congratulations, Opa.
-Stogies. -Congrats to you and Katherine.
-Thanks, man. Thank you. Yeah, we're blessed.
We feel very blessed. -Good, nice parents.
I want to talk "Super Mario Bros." because that is --
That's the jam. I'm excited about this Wednesday.
-Let's go.
-I'm excited. -Go see it.
-You're Mario. -I'm Mario.
I'm the voice of Mario. -So what happens when
you get the phone call and they're like,
"Hey, would you like to be this iconic..."
-I'm like, "Pfft. No."
-Exactly.
-I was like, "Oh, my God! Really?!"
Yeah, I mean, you get that call.
And it's just really exciting because,
I mean, if you think about it, all the IP that's out there,
anything that has reach, it's already been remade.
It's already been turned into a TV show or a movie.
And for some reason. the Super Mario Bros.
hasn't been a movie for almost 30 years.
And it's because I think the folks at Nintendo
just didn't want to give anybody the permission
to make the movie, and so finally they made...
-Oh, Illumination is -- -Illumination, you know --
"Despicable Me." "Secret Life of Pets."
"Minions." Brilliant. -"Minions." Incredible studio.
And so they partnered up
and they decided that they were going to make this movie.
And so when something like that comes around,
it's just like -- you're so blessed,
so honored to do it, I mean, for me...
-It's fantastic. It's gonna crush, buddy.
And, you know, I was thinking about you
because I was watching it, and there's a lot of action.
There's a lot of action in this movie.
And I could just kind of hear you --
a lot of grunting by you.
-Yes. -Going like -- [ Grunting ]
And I go -- I was like --
"Oh, maybe Chris will bring footage," of you doing
those grunts when you come on the show.
I just want to see you in the sound booth going like...
[ Both grunting ]
-Well, you know, here's an interesting thing
about that, actually.
Usually the effort sounds you do at the end of the session.
You probably do like one or two sessions a month
over the course of a couple years
to voice one of these movies.
And at the end, because the efforts and the grunts
and the screaming, that really takes it out of your voice,
they save that for the end.
But here's an interesting little tidbit.
In a -- What makes physical comedy work
in like a "Tom and Jerry" or a "Super Mario Bros."
is when a character falls a long way and hits,
they don't die, right? If they died, it would --
If Tom and Jerry -- If, like, Road Runner --
If, like, the anvil hit his head
and there's freaking brains everywhere...
-No, no, no, no, no. That'd be terrible.
-Be like, "Oh, my God!" That'd be bad, right?
-Terrible idea. Terrible.
-So in order to let kids know that the character's not dead...
-Yes. -...you have to do an,
"I'm okay, I'm alive" sigh.
"I'm hurt, not injured" sigh.
So it's like this. You're like, "Aaaaaah!"
Unh!
Uhh...
-Yeah!
[ Applause ]
-Without that...
-It just goes, hey, it's a joke, everybody.
-Kids will be like, "Mario is dead!
Mario fell to his death, Dad!"
-That's so funny. It's so well-done.
It's such a great cast.
Everyone's so talented and good. A lot of fun people.
How do we set up the movie with "Super Mario Bros."?
-There's a -- There's a clip? -Yeah.
-You don't have to show it. It's fine.
-No, we're definitely showing the clip.
But if you want to set it up, they're in Brooklyn.
-Oh, this is the -- I don't know what the clip is.
What's the clip?
It's from this movie called "The Super Mario Bros."
And I'm in it. -No, but the movie.
What is the movie about? Not the clip.
The movie is about...
-It's about the Super Mario Brothers.
[ Laughter ]
Am I not doing -- I'm gonna get fired.
-No! This is -- They're plumbers.
-They're plumbers. -Right?
-There are turtles.
You know, they run around. It sounds crazy,
but they smash their head against things...
-Yes, yes, yes. -...to get coins.
-And they go through a pipe and they end up in a weird world.
-There's a princess. -Seth Rogen plays...
-Donkey Kong. -Donkey Kong.
-Yeah. I want to show everyone a clip.
-You're gonna love it. -Chris Pratt,
Keegan-Michael Key in "The Super Mario Bros. Movie."
Take a look. -Let's go.
