>> HEY YA, JIMMY!
>> Jimmy: WHAT A GREAT OUTFIT
THAT IS.
>> I WENT THROUGH MY CLOSET.
SO THESE REDDISH CORDUROYS.
>> Jimmy: MM-HM.
>> I HAVE TWO PAIRS OF THE SAME.
SO EVERY TIME I WEAR THESE
CORDS, AND THEN THE NEXT DAY, I
GO, DID I WEAR THE RED ONES OR
THE TAN ONES?
I GET MIXED UP, AND SOMETIMES I
WEAR RED TWO DAYS IN A ROW, AND
I FEEL LIKE TELLING PEOPLE, BUT
THESE ARE THE TWO DIFFERENT
ONES.
>> Jimmy: I WAS DRESSED EXACTLY
LIKE THIS WHEN I CAME IN THIS
MORNING.
I MEAN LITERALLY LIKE THIS.
>> REALLY?
>> Jimmy: YES, AND AS I TOLD YOU
THE OTHER NIGHT, I SAW YOU AT A
CHRISTMAS PARTY, I NEVER KNOW
WHAT TO WEAR.
AND I WAS TRYING TO GET DRESSED,
AND I SAID, DO YOU THINK ADAM'S
GOING TO BE AT THIS PARTY?
AND MY WIFE SAID YEAH, I THINK
HE'LL BE THERE, AND I SAID OH,
GOOD, THEN I DON'T HAVE TO
DRESS -- AND SHE SAID NO, JUST
BECAUSE HE DRESSES LIKE THAT
DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO.
>> I HAD THE CLOTHES.
I HAD A NICE LADY AND MY WIFE
WENT OUT AND GOT ME A BUNCH OF
STUFF, BUT IT'S A LITTLE TOO
SMALL.
AND I'M IN SUCH A BAD MOOD WHEN
IT'S TIGHT.
>> Jimmy: I SEE WHAT YOU'RE
SAYING.
>> I LIKE IT LOOSE.
AND YOU GOT TO COVER THINGS.
>> Jimmy: BY THE WAY, AND I MEAN
THIS SINCERELY.
I'M NOT JUST WHATEVER.
YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY GREAT IN THIS
MOVIE, AND IT'S A GREAT MOVIE ON
TOP OF THAT.
AND THE AUDIENCE HAS NOT SEEN
IT.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
BUT WHAT I'M CURIOUS ABOUT, DO
YOU GET AT ALL OFFENDED BY ALL
THE PEOPLE TELLING YOU HOW GREAT
YOU ARE IN THIS MOVIE?
THEY'RE LIKE, NO, REALLY, YOU'RE
AMAZING IN THIS MOVIE.
DOES IT ANNOY YOU AT ALL?
>> NO, NO, IT'S NICE.
I GET IT.
IT'S A DIFFERENT STYLE OF MOVIE,
AND MY COMEDIES ARE LIGHT AND
FUN, AND I LOVE DOING THEM, AND
I GET A DIFFERENT KIND OF
COMPLIMENT TO THOSE.
I HEAR, MAN, I WAS SO STONED THE
OTHER NIGHT WHEN I SAW YOUR
MOVIE.
YOU KNOW, THAT'S FINE.
BUT THIS IS A DITFFERENT STYLE F
MOVIE.
>> Jimmy: THIS IS NOT A MOVIE
YOU WANT TO BE STONED WATCHING,
PROBABLY.
>> I HEARD SOMEBODY AT THAT SAME
PARTY, THEY SAW IT.
>> Jimmy: AND LOST THEIR MIND.
>> THEY KIND OF STAIRED AT IT AD
WERE SCARED.
>> Jimmy: IT'S VERY INTENSE.
IT'S THESE GUYS, BROTHERS.
>> TWO SMART QUEENS BOYS WHO ARE
JUST UNBELIEVABLE.
>> Jimmy: DID YOU KNOW THEM
BEFORE YOU WORKED WITH THEM ON
THIS?
>> THEY APPARENTLY WANTED TO DO
THIS MOVIE WITH ME A LONG TIME
AGO, I THINK THEY WROTE IT TEN
YEARS AGO AND I WAS BUSY AND
THEY SENT THE SCRIPT IN TO,
LIKE, YOU HAVE AN AGENT,
MANAGERS AND STUFF.
AND THEY DIDN'T, I DON'T EVEN
KNOW IF THEY READ TIT.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED BUT
TEN YEARS GOES BY, AND I'M GOING
OVER, AND MY AGENT SAYS THE
BROTHERS WANT TO TALK TO YOU,
AND I SAID WHO ARE THE SAFFE
BROTHERS?
THEY'RE YOUNG AND HIP.
I THOUGHT THEY WERE
SKATEBOARDERS, WHY DO I WANT TO
MEET THE SAFFE BROTHERS?
THEN I SAW "GOOD TIME", AND THEY
ARE OTHER MOVIES, THESE GUYS ARE
INCREDIBLE.
AND I SAID OH, YEAH, YEAH.
LET ME MEET THOSE GUYS, THEY
GAVE ME THE SCRIPT AND IT'S
EXCELLENT.
>> Jimmy: THEY MUST HAVE BEEN 14
YEARS OLD OR SOMETHING.
>> THE FIRST TIME, YEAH.
>> Jimmy: IT MAKES SENSE THAT
YOU WOULDN'T BE INTERESTED IN
DOING A MOVIE WITH THEM AT THAT
TIME.
>> JUST, THEY LOVE YOU, BY THE
WAY, AND BENNY MET YOU THE OTHER
DAY.
>> Jimmy: AND YET NO ONE CALLED
ME TO BE IN THE MOVIE.
>> YOU'RE SO BUSY.
>> Jimmy: THAT'S THE THING ABOUT
THE MOVIE, AND I LOVE WHEN
OCCASIONALLY, A DIRECTOR WILL DO
THIS.
>> RIGHT.
>> Jimmy: THEY POPULATED THE
MOVIE WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO
AREN'T ACTORS.
>> RIGHT, RIGHT.
IT'S ABOUT, IT'S NEW YORK CITY,
AND THERE'S SOME, MY CHARACTER
GETS INTO TROUBLE WITH SOME
TOUGH GUYS, AND THEY GET REAL
TOUGH PEOPLE TO BE IN IT.
NOT ACTORS.
MOST OF THE CAST IS NOT ACTORS.
THERE'S SOME GREAT ACTORS IN IT.
BUT A LOT OF THE SCENES I DID
WITH GUYS WHO, IT WAS THEIR
FIRST TIME DOING IT, THEY WERE
SUPPOSED TO SMACK ME AROUND, AND
THE STUNT COORDINATOR WOULD SAY
YOU DOESN'N'T HAVE TO ACTUALLY
ADAM.
THEY'RE JUST STARING LIKE WHAT
ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
WE HAVE TO HIT ADAM, IT SAYS HIT
ADAM IN THE SCRIPT.
>> Jimmy: AND THEY HIT ADAM.
>> YEAH, THEY HIT HIM.
>> Jimmy: YOU LOOK DIFFERENT IN
THE MOVIE, TOO.
YOU LOOK LIKE YOU, BUT SOMETHING
ODD ABOUT THE WAY YOUR --
>> WELL, THEY PUT, I HAVE
DIFFERENT TEETH IN THERE, AND I
HAD A GOATEE, AND A FAKE MOLE
AND HAIR'S BACK AND I'M WEARING
DIFFERENT CLOTHES.
>> Jimmy: YOU HAVE EARRINGS IN
THE MOVIE?
>> YEAH, I HAVE TWO EARRINGS,
MAGNET EARRINGS.
>> Jimmy: SO THEY --
>> THEY WEREN'T REAL.
SO WHEN I WAS YOUNG, MY KIDS,
I'VE BEEN LYING TO THEM.
BUT I DID HAVE AN EARRING, LEFT
EARRING WHEN I WAS YOUNG.
AND I DID THE MOVIE "AIRHEADS"
WHEN I WAS A KID, WHEN I WAS
YOUNG.
AND IN THE SCRIPT IT SAID I HAD
AN EARRING, AND SO I SAID AH,
MAYBE I'LL JUST GET AN EARRING
SO I DON'T TO CHANGE, LIKE GET A
FAKE EARRING EVERY DAY.
LET ME JUST DO THAT, PIERCE MY
EAR, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, I DIDN'T
THINK IT WAS A BIG DEAL.
SO I PIERCED MY EAR, AND I
REMEMBER CALLING HOME, AND MY
MOTHER ANSWERS THE PHONE.
"HE
"HELLO", HEY, MA, IT'S ADAM.
WHAT HAPPENED?
NOTHING'S WRONG.
I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU, I GOT
A, I GOT A -- YOU GOT A WHAT?
I GOT AN IN THE LEFT.
IN THE LEFT?
IN THE LEFT EAR.
YOU DIDN'T, YOU DIDN'T.
I DID, I GOT AN EARRING.
OH!
YOU CAN'T BE BURIED WITH US!
>> Jimmy: WHAT?
>> ISN'T THAT A TATTOO, MA?
>> Jimmy: IS THAT THE RULE,
THO HOW
IT GOES?
>> IN HER HEAD.
>> Jimmy: YOU ALSO GAINED WEIGHT
TO PLAY HOWARD, HOWARD IS THE
NAME OF THE CHARACTER.
>> YES.
>> Jimmy: YOUR WIFE HAD A
NECKLACE THAT SAID "HOWARD" ON
IT.
>> WITH NETFLIX, THEY GAVE ME A
GIFT THAT SAYS DIAMOND HOWARD
NECKLACE.
AND MY WIFE WEARS IT EVERYWHERE,
AND IT DANGLES RIGHT ABOVE HER
BEAUTIFUL CLEAVAGE.
HOWARD, I SHOULD BE JEALOUS, BUT
SOMEHOW IT THRILLS ME.
[ LAUGHTER ]
I KEEP GOING, WHO IS THIS
HOWARD?
>> Jimmy: YOU COULD GET HER A
BILLY AND A HAPPY AND ALL YOUR,
A SANDY, ALL YOUR DIFFERENT
MOVIES, YOU KNOW?
>> THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.
>> Jimmy: HOLIDAY COLLECTION.
ONE NIGHT OF HANUKKAH.
EACH NIGHT IS A DIFFERENT
CHARACTER THAT YOU PLAYED.
>> THAT'S GOOD, YEAH.
THANK YOU.
>> Jimmy: ALSO, WHEN WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT THESE ACTORS WHO
ARE NOT ACTORS.
>> YEAH.
>> Jimmy: ONE OF THEM IS KEVIN
GARNET, THE BASKETBALL PLAYER.
>> YES.
>> Jimmy: WHO YOU NEVER KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO GET WHEN A
BASKETBALL PLAYER IS IN A MOVIE
OR ANY ATHLETE, YOU KNOW?
>> UNBELIEVABLY COOL, GREAT GUY.
SUPER INTENSE.
EVERY ACTOR IN THE MOVIE WAS
GOING, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
KEVIN GARNET'S BETTER THAN ME AT
ACTING?
HE WAS SO SMOOTH AND COOL, EVERY
SCENE HE WAS IN.
>> Jimmy: HE WAS VERY GOOD IN
IT, YEAH.
SO ANYWAY, WE ASKED IF YOU COULD
MAYBE BRING KEVIN GARNET, AND
YOU BROUGHT KEVIN GARNET.
LET'S TAKE A BREAK.
WHEN WE COME BACK WE'LL SEE CLIP
FROM "UNCUT GEMS" AND WE'LL
VISIT WITH ADAM AND KEVIN
GARNET.
>>> I SEE YOU OUT THERE WHEN THE
STADIUM'S ALL [ BLEEP ]ING AT
YOU.
LET'S SEE VEGAS.
TAKE A LOOK.
>> ARE YOU SERIOUS?
YOU GOING TO PULL THIS UP RIGHT
HERE?
>> LOOK AT THIS [ BLEEP ].
THE SIXERS ARE SUPPOSED TO WIN
THE GAME TONIGHT THEY THINK.
>> Jimmy: THAT'S ADAM SANDLER
AND KEVIN GARNET IN "UNCUT
GEMS".
NOT ONLY IS HE A NBA CHAMPION
BUT A THESPIAN NOW.
WELCOME KEVIN GARNET, EVERYONE.

♪ ♪
>> Jimmy: RIGHT HERE, KEVIN,
COME ON.
>> COME ON, KG.
>> Jimmy: HOW ARE YOU?
>> I'M DOIN' WELL.
>> Jimmy: I JUST THOUGHT OF
SOMETHING.
I WONDER IF KEVIN JAMES IS UPSET
THAT THERE'S A NEW KEVIN IN YOUR
LIFE, YOU KNOW.
I IMAGINE THE TWO OF YOU LIKE
GOING ON FROM HERE AND DOING A
LOT OF MOVIES TOGETHER.
>> WE'RE GOING TO WORK ONLY
TOGETHER.
>> Jimmy: YOU HAD GREAT
CHEMISTRY TOGETHER, AND KEVIN, I
WAS KNOCKED OUT BY YOUR
PERFORMANCE IN THE MOVIE.
WHO KNEW THAT WAS IN YOU.
>> I CAN NEVER TELL WHEN YOU'RE
JOKING.
>> Jimmy: I'M NOT JOKING.
>> YOU LOOK KIND OF SINCERE.
>> Jimmy: NO, THERE'S NO LEFT
HOOK COMING.
I MEAN THAT QUITE SINCERELY.
AND I'M SURE YOU'VE HEARD THAT
FROM A LOT OF PEOPLE.
DO YOU HEAR FROM YOUR FORMER
TEAMMATES?
>> YEAH, BUT THEY DON'T KNOW
ANYTHING ABOUT ACTING.
I JUST FIGURE THEY'RE BEING
SUPPORTIVE.
>> Jimmy: SOME OF THEM HAVE BEEN
IN SOME REALLY GREAT MOVIES.
>> SOME OF THEM.
I PLAY MYSELF, THOUGH, I PLAY
MYSELF.
>> Jimmy: THAT'S NOT EASY.
PEOPLE THINK IT'S EASY TO PLAY
YOURSELF.
>> CAN YOU REALLY MESS UP
PLAYING YOURSELF?
>> I'VE SEEN IT HAPPEN.
>> Jimmy: DID YOU EVER FIND
YOURSELF IN A SITUATION LIKE
THAT, WITH A JEWELLER, ADAM'S
CHARACTER IS THIS JEWELLER WHO
PROVIDES JEWELRY TO ATHLETES AND
OTHER KIND OF WEALTHY PEOPLE?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
I'VE, SHOUT OUT TO JAKE THE
JEWELLER, TIO, ALL THE GUYS.
I ACTUALLY REACH FOR THAT.
I'VE BEEN IN A SITUATION WHERE I
HAVE A BUNCH OF MY FRIENDS WITH
ME, AND WE'RE IN THE JEWELRY
STORE GETTING JEWELRY.
>> Jimmy: I DO THAT WITH MY
FRIENDS ALL THE TIME.
IF I'M IN THE JEWELRY STORE, I'M
HIDING IN THE BATHROOM, HOPING
NOBODY WANTS TO BUY ANYTHING.
I KNOW ADAM LIKES TO PLAY
BASKETBALL.
DID YOU GUYS PLAY ANY BACK
TOGETHER?
NO?
>> LISTEN, WE HAD LONG DAYS WHEN
WE SHOT, THERE'S A BASKET ON THE
SET.
WHEN WE'D GET DONE WITH THESE
LONG DAYS, WE'D GO OUT SHOOTING
AROUND, MESSING AROUND.
>> Jimmy: YOU DID?
>> IT WAS A DREAM OF MINE TO
MAYBE AFTER WORK SHOW UP AT A
PARK, PLAY TWO ON TWO, AND CALL
MY BUDDY KEVIN TO PLAY WITH ME.
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN AMAZING.
>> IF YOU WOULD HAVE SAID THAT I
WOULD HAVE SHOWN UP.
>> BUT IMAGINE IF YOU GOT HURT.
>> NOT AT A PARK.
>> LET'S DO IT AT THE GYM.
>> Jimmy: YOU NEED TO DO IT.
IT WOULD BE FUN E
.
>> LET'S DO IT.
>> Jimmy: HAVE YOU BEEN READING
REVIEWS OF THE MOVIE?
>> I HAVE PEOPLE READ IT TO ME.
>> Jimmy: YOU HAVE PEOPLE READ
IT TO YOU.
>> OH, NO.
>> Jimmy: WHAT'S THE BEST ONE
YOU HEARD ABOUT?
>> OH, NO, HONESTLY, ALL I HEAR
IS, I KNOW YOU DON'T LIKE
REVIEWS, BUT -- AND'S AL IT'S A
RIGHT.
YOU WANT TO HEAR ONE WORD?
AND I THINK IT'S TWO WORDS "NOT
AWFUL."
>> Jimmy: KEVIN, IS THIS
SOMETHING YOU WANT TO CONTINUE
TO DO?
>> I KIND OF SAY IT WAS
SOMETHING I WAS REACHING OUT FOR
DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITIES.
I'M A MAN OF OPPORTUNITY.
IF SOMETHING COMES ALONG AND
FITS LIKE THE SYNERGY OF THIS.
>> Jimmy: IT WOULD BE A FUN
MOVIE WHERE THEY DON'T ADJUST
FOR YOUR HEIGHT.
>> IT'S LIKE THIS BUILDING.
IT'S LIKE THIS BUILDING.
>> Jimmy: THIS IS A DANGEROUS
BUILDING FIOOR TALL GUIYS.
>> GOT TO PAY ATTENTION.
>> Jimmy: TIM DUNCAN IS STILL
UNCONSCIOUS IN THE ALLEY.
SEEMS LIKE YOU GUYS HAD FUN.
>> WE DID.
>> Jimmy: DID YOU NOTICE ADAM
HAD TO PUT ON WEIGHT FOR THE
FILM?
>> I DIDN'T HAVE TO.
>> Jimmy: OH, YOU JUST DID.
>> IT JUST KIND OF HAPPENED.
>> I DIDN'T NOTICE.
I DIDN'T NOTICE.
>> NO, I SWEAR TO GOD.
I DID THIS ONE SCENE WITH, WHERE
I'M SUPPOSED TO BE YELLING, IT'S
LIKE A MONOLOGUE.
IN THE SCRIPT, IT SAYS I STEP ON
THE SCALE AND I KEEP GOING, AND
I SAID THIS ENTIRE MONOLOGUE, IT
WAS GOING WELL, I STEP ON THE
SCALE, I HAVEN'T STEPPED ON THE
SCALE IN LIKE FOUR YEARS.
I LOOK DOWN, AND IT SAYS 203.
AND I WAS LOOKING TO SEE 1 89.
SO I SAW THE 203 AND I FORGOT
THE REST OF THE SCENE, I WAS
LIKE --
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> Jimmy: YOUR HEAD'S REALLY IN
THE CHARACTER.
>> I WAS, I WAS UNTIL THAT
MOMENT.
>> Jimmy: WELL, YOU GUYS DID A
GREAT JOB TOGETHER.
HE DOES ALL HIS MOVIES ON
VACATION.
>> YES, COME WITH ME ANYWHERE.
BORA BORA, RIGHT?
>> BORA BORA.
>> LET'S SHOOT THERE, BUDDY.
>> Jimmy: FIRST YOU PICK THE
SETTING, THEN YOU FIGURE OUT THE
MOVIE.
>> THE MOVIE, THAT'S SECONDARY,
MAN.
>> Jimmy: ADAM SANDLER AND
KEVIN GARNETT!
