-It's nice to see you again, buddy.
-It's nice to see you, The Other Jimmy.
[ Laughter ] -That's right, exactly.
I want to talk about your Netflix show, "The Fix,"
but, also, I know that the holidays
are less than a week away --
Christmas. -Christmas.
-I know -- Do you -- Would have a very special --
Christmas is a big deal and...
-Christmas, for me, is about competitive eating.
[ Laughter ] I mean, it's like
we're all in a competitive eating competition.
-Oh, really?
-You want to get to 15,000 calories a day.
It's not easy. [ Laughter ]
We're basically, as a nation, committing carbicide.
-Yeah, well, you think so -- that's what it's called.
-And what's the most important meal of the day?
I think you know it's breakfast. -Yeah, that's right.
-You've got to start right. -All right.
-So you need Lucky Charms. You need Baileys.
[ Laughter ] -I -- I'm sorry.
-You've got an Irish breakfast. [ Laughter ]
-Now, this is what you call an Irish breakfast.
-This is -- This is my Christmas morning tradition --
Lucky Charms and Baileys.
[ Cheers and applause ]
See? This is -- This is good. -I've never...
-This'll work. -I've never --
[ Applause continues ]
[ Audience ohhs ]
Wow.
-Listen, it's Christmas.
You've got to treat yourself right.
-You've got to treat yourself right
with Lucky Charms and Baileys. -Seriously, I know
this doesn't sound like it's gonna work,
but this is gonna work. -[ Laughs ]
-You're gonna be glad you did.
-Oh, my God. -Just Christmas morning.
[ Cheers and applause ]
♪♪
-Look at this.
Hey, Lucky Charms is pretty good.
-Mmm!
♪♪
-Wow. -Wow.
-Hey, not bad. [ Laughter ]
-That is diabetes in a bowl. -Thank you.
-Wow! [ Laughter ]
-They should put that on the box.
That's a good slogan. They should put that on the box.
-That is -- Wow, well, now I'm gonna be sugar-rushing
through the rest of this.
-By the way, that sugar rush --
but, also, the alcohol brings me down a little bit.
[ Laughter ]
Kind of a perfect match. -Perfect for Christmas.
-Thank you so much, and merry Christmas.
Happy Christmas to you. -Well, happy Christmas to you.
-You've been touring like mad --
I want to say, in 2018, you did 168 shows.
Do you know this? -Yeah.
-111 cities. -That's a lot.
-Five continents.
-That makes it sound like I work very hard.
I work two hours a day. I mean, it's one hour more than you.
-I know it's two. I know.
It's one -- It's one hour more than I do, but, still.
-Yeah. -That's double.
[ Laughter ] I said it louder.
I follow you on Instagram,
and I -- I see pictures of where you go,
and I'm interested in that 'cause I want to see --
I like -- I'm interested in travel and all that stuff.
-Well, it's never pictures of me when I travel.
-Kind of. -Well...
I mean, here's you -- This is Amsterdam.
-This -- This -- I know. [ Laughter ]
So, this adorable fan sent -- made this puppet of me.
That's -- That's us in San Francisco.
So, she made this rag doll of me, and I just --
I've got a rag doll of me, and I take it to interesting places.
Is that weird? I guess it's weird.
-But what -- That's Cheers in Boston.
That's great. [ Audience cheers ]
I mean, why -- why don't -- why don't you pose?
Do you -- Just because you like to --
-Because I went there the night before,
and I was hung over, and I looked terrible.
[ Laughter ] So it's better
to have a rag doll that always looks pretty fresh.
-That's actually really smart, see?
-That's not a bad idea. -You're a genius.
Speaking of good ideas, "The Fix."
How has no one ever thought of this idea?
I think it's a brilliant idea for a show.
-Well, so, the idea is that the world --
the world is in a terrible state.
There's loads of huge problems. -Yes.
-What are you going to do?
Well, what you can do is get teams of comedians
to come up with solutions to the world's biggest problems.
So, I mean, we're dealing with everything
from, you know, gun control to opioid crisis --
really serious stuff --
and we come up with these crazy solutions.
-So, how does it work?
You host the show, and you give it the problem,
and then these teams of comedians --
-So, I've got Katherine Ryan on one side,
D.L. Hughley on the other side, and they come up with solutions.
So, I'll give you an example. So, we came up with the --
you know, the problem was global warming.
-Mm. -So, one solution was
everyone goes vegan, but we need to rebrand veganism
because vegans -- little bit smug.
[ Laughter ] That's fair to say, isn't it?
They're a little bit -- -A little bit, yeah.
-But it is possible to be a vegan and shut the [bleep] up.
[ Laughter ] -Yeah. You -- You think so?
-I think it might be. -You think it might be.
We can't -- We can't do both?
I mean, this is your fixes.
-It's not easy, but I think it's possible.
But the other solution --
This is gonna sound crazy. Bear with me.
-Hm? -We set off a volcano.
-Okay, now, I'm -- I'm still with you, but I don't know why.
-Well, that -- that cools -- that cools the Earth.
-Oh, wow. -So, if you set off a volcano,
the ash goes super high, and it reflects light,
and the Earth cools. It's already been tried.
It's not science fiction -- it's science fact.
So, when Krakatoa went off, the world cooled by 2 degrees.
We didn't have a summer the next summer.
-Wow. -Yeah, extraordinary but true.
I know that sounds like a crazy, ludicrous thing
on a comedy show, but it's genuinely true.
It would work. We've got a madman in charge.
Let's do this. [ Laughter ]
-We just got to pick the -- the safest volcano
that we can make erupt.
-Well, the people that live around the volcano
are gonna be super upset with us.
[ Laughter ] -No -- Well, no, there can't --
No, Jimmy, there can't be anyone standing around the volcano.
-I think we just don't tell them.
-You're on to something -- You're on to --
[ Laughter ] I love that.
It's not science fiction -- it's science fact.
-Yeah. -I want to show everyone a clip.
Here is Jimmy Carr in "The Fix," streaming now on Netflix.
Take a look at this. -[ Chuckles ]
Immigration.
Some people are pro, some people are anti,
some people are on the fence,
and some people are frantically climbing over that fence
before Border Patrol arrives. [ Laughter ]
I like my border security like I like my sex.
Sure, I have boundaries,
but, occasionally, I let a Mexican man sneak in.
[ Laughter ]
[ Laughter and applause ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
There are immigrants that have come to America,
stolen jobs, and murdered the local population.
And we call those immigrants the Founding Fathers.
[ Cheers and applause ]
I can say that 'cause I saw "Hamilton" -- loved it.
[ Laughter ]
-Jimmy Carr, everybody! [ Cheers and applause ]
