>> Jimmy: VERY GOOD TO SEE YOU.
>> YOU TOO, HOW YOU DOIN'?
>> Jimmy: YOU KNOW, I WAS
LISTENING TO YOUR ALBUM WITH MY
KIDS THIS MORNING, AND WE ALL
KIND OF ENJOYED IT.
ONE OF THE SONGS "WISH YOU WERE
GAY", I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
HOW TO EXPLAIN THAT TO MY
5-YEAR-OLD, BUT SHE DIDN'T
REALLY PICK UP ON IT, SO THAT
WAS OKAY.
HOW ARE YOU DOING?
>> I'M GREAT.
>> Jimmy: CONGRATULATIONS ON ALL
THE AWARD NOMINATIONS YOU GOT.
>> THANK YOU.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
>> Jimmy: WERE YOU UP WATCHING?
OR HOW DID YOU FIND OUT?
>> NO.
>> Jimmy: YOU DID NOT GET UP
EARLY?
>> THAT WENT OFF LIKE 5:00 A.M.
I'M NOT GOING TO WAKE UP WITH
THAT.
I STAYED.
I WAS KNOCKED OUT.
MY MOM CAME AND WOKE ME UP AND I
WAS LIKE HALF ASLEEP.
>> Jimmy: SO YOU'RE STILL LIVING
WITH THE FOLKS, WITH THE
PARENTS?
>> YEAH.
>> Jimmy: OR ARE THEY LIVING
WITH YOU?
WHICH IS IT
>> LIKE BOTH.
I'M LIVING WITH THEM AT HOME,
AND ON TOUR, THEY'RE LIVING WITH
ME.
>> Jimmy: SO YOU ARE IN YOUR
HOUSE THAT YOU GREW UP IN?
>> YEAH.
>> Jimmy: AND YOUR BROTHER LIVES
WITH YOU?
OR NO.
>> HE DID UNTIL LIKE THE IEND O
LAST YEARISH.
BUT HE STILL COMES BACK AND
LIKE --
>> Jimmy: LAUNDRY?
THAT ALWAYS BRINGS THEM HOME.
>> YOU DO LAUNDRY AT YOUR
PARENTS' HOUSE?
>> Jimmy: I HAVE OLDER CHILDREN.
THEY DON'T REALLY DO LAUNDRY,
BUT I ASSUME IF THEY EVER CLEAN
THEIR CLOTHES THEY WOULD COME
RIGHT TO MY HOUSE.
>> WOW.
>> Jimmy: AS FAR AS THESE
NOMINATIONS, IS THIS, JUST, ARE
YOU USED TO THIS BY NOW?
OR DO YOU STOP AND GO, WOW, THIS
IS WEIRD?
>> I MEAN, THE GRAMMYS IS THE
GRAMMYS, SO AS COOL AS
EVERYTHING ELSE IS, IT'S THE
GRAMMYS.
I'VE WATCHED THAT EVERY SINGLE
YEAR MY ENTIRE LIFE, LIKE
JUDGING ALL THE GIRLS' UGLY-ASS
DRESSES.
EVERY YEAR MY FAMILY AND ME
WOULD ALL SIT IN THE ROOM AND
WATCH THE GRAMMYS.
WE NEVER MISSED IT.
THE FACT THAT I'M THE SAME
LITTLE GIRL WATCHING IT IN MY
LIVING ROOM, AND I'M IN THE SAME
LIVING ROOM BEING NOMINATED FOR
SIX, LIKE WHAT IS THAT?
>> Jimmy: ARE YOUR PARENTS GOING
TO GO WITH YOU TO THE SHOW?
>> MM-HM.
>> Jimmy: YOU'RE DOING THE
AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS.
>> ON SUNDAY.
>> Jimmy: THAT'S YOUR FIRST
AWARD SHOW PERFORMANCE.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
I'M WONDERING ABOUT THIS.
THIS IS A SITUATION WHERE YOU
ARE AL
HAVE ALL OF THESE ARTISTS ON
STAGE.
DO YOU FEEL COMPETITIVE WITH
THEM, LIKE I'M GOING TO GO OUT
THERE, MY PERFORMANCE IS GOING
TO BE THE BEST PERFORMANCE OF
ALL OF THEM?
>> IT'S LIKE ALMOST, BUT IT'S
MORE LIKE A COMPETITIVENESS WITH
MYSELF.
>> Jimmy: WITH YOURSELF, RIGHT.
>> IF THAT MAKES SENSE.
I GO UP THERE TO LIKE BE BETTER
THAN MYSELF.
>> Jimmy: MM-HM.
>> KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
>> Jimmy: I TOTALLY KNOW WHAT
YOU MEAN.
>> IT'S WEIRD, I'M LIKE IN THIS
WHOLE WORLD.
>> Jimmy: I DO KNOW WHAT YOU'RE
TALKING ABOUT, BECAUSE I'VE BEEN
IN SITUATIONS WHERE THERE HAVE
BEEN A BUNCH OF COMEDIANS ON,
AND YOU ALWAYS WANT TO BE THE
BEST ONE.
DOESN'T MEAN YOU DON'T WANT THE
OTHER ONES TO NOT BE GOOD.
>> RIGHT, TO NOT BE GOOD.
IT'S LIKE THE WHOLE UNIVERSE IS
TRYING TO PIT EVERY ARTIST
AGAINST EACH OTHER.
IT'S SO WEIRD.
>> Jimmy: AND SOME PEOPLE THINK
THAT WAY.
>> MM-HM.
>> Jimmy: YOU DON'T.
>> I DON'T.
>> Jimmy: ARE YOU 17 YEARS OLD,
BY IS CRAZY THAT YOU'RE THIS
SUCCESSFUL AT 17 YEARS OLD.
I THINK BACK TO MYSELF AT 17.
WHEN I WAS 17, PERHAPS THE
GREATEST YEAR IN AMERICAN
HISTORY, 1984.
EXPERTS AGREE, RIGHT?
AND I WAS WONDERING IF I COULD
GO --
>> WHO WAS BORN AFTER THAT IN
THIS ROOM?
>> Jimmy: AFTER 1983?
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
IS THAT YOUR NICE WAY OF
REMINDING ME HOW CLOSE I AM TO
DEATH?
YOU KNOW WHO MADONNA IS?
>> I DO KNOW WHO MADONNA IS.
>> Jimmy: CAN YOU NAME A VAN
HALEN?
>> WHO?
>> Jimmy: I'M GOING TO START
CRYING.
HAVE YOU HEARD OF CYNDI LAUPER?
>> YES.
>> Jimmy: HUEY LEWIS?
>> NO.
>> Jimmy: FILL IN THE BLANK.
RUN DM --
>> WHAT?
WHAT IS THAT?
>> Jimmy: IT SOUNDS LIKE A
DIRECT MESSAGE WHILE YOU'RE
DRIVING NOW.
RUN DMC.
GREAT HIP-HOP GROUP.
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN "THE COSBY
SHOW"?
>> NO.
>> Jimmy: WOW, HAVE YOU EVER
PLAYED WITH A CABBAGE PATCH KID?
>> A CABBAGE PATCH KID?
>> Jimmy: IN 1984 --
>> IT'S LIKE A SOUR PATCH KID?
IS IT A CANDY?
>> Jimmy: IT WAS A DOLL.
YOUR PARENTS WOULD GO TO THE
MALL AND FIGHT OTHER PARENTS FOR
THESE.
>> WOW.
>> Jimmy: AND THEY'D BRING THEM
HOME AND PROVE HOW THEY LOVED
YOU.
WHAT DID MR. T PITY?
>> WHAT IS THAT QUESTION?
>> Jimmy: THE POINT IS, I'M
TRYING TO MAKE A POINT THAT
YOU'RE YOUNGER THAN I AM.
CAN YOU NAME ANY OF THE ORIGINAL
"GHOSTBUSTERS"?
>> I DON'T THINK I'VE SEEN IT.
>> Jimmy: WHAT SHOULD YOU NEVER
DO TO A GREMLIN AFTER MIDNIGHT?
>> YOU'RE MAKING ME LOOK SO
DUMB.
>> Jimmy: IT'S NOT A MATTER OF
BEING DUMB.
IF YOU ASK ME QUESTIONS ABOUT
1943, I PROBABLY WOULDN'T KNOW
THE ANSWERS EITHER.
>> WELL, GREAT.
YOU'RE TURNING 18 NEXT MONTH.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?
IS THERE A BIG PARTY PLANNED?
IS SOMEBODY ELSE RESPONSIBLE?
>> I HAVE SOME IDEAS OF STUFF,
BUT IT'S PRETTY LIKE, MY LIFE
STUFF.
BUT THE MAIN THING I'M EXCITED
ABOUT IS BEING ABLE TO DRIVE MY
CAR PAST 11:00.
>> Jimmy: THAT'S THE LAW?
YOU CAN'T DRIVE AFTER 11:00?
>> YEAH, IF YOU, YOU HAVE TO
EITHER HAVE HAD YOUR LICENSE FOR
A WHOLE YEAR OR BE 18.
>> Jimmy: OH.
>> AND I WAS SO BUSY, I MEAN, MY
LIFE WAS PRETTY CRAZY THE LAST
COUPLE YEARS.
SO I GOT TO IT A LITTLE BIT
LATE, EVEN THOUGH IT'S SOMETHING
I REALLY WANTED TO DO MY ENTIRE
LIFE.
ALL I WANTED TO DO WAS DRIVE.
>> Jimmy: DO YOU HAVE A CAR?
>> I DO.
>> Jimmy: DO YOU DRIVE SAFELY?
[ LAUGHTER ]
DO YOUR PARENTS TRACK YOU LIKE
ON THEIR PHONE?
>> I DRIVE FUN-LY.
>> Jimmy: DO YOUR PARENTS TRACK
YOU.
>> HELL NO.
>> Jimmy: DO YOU LIKE SPEND
MONEY ON THINGS?
CAN YOU GO TO THE SENATOR
>> NO, I'M GOING TO TELL MYSELF
IF, I'LL GET TOTALLY MOBBED IF I
GO TO CVS.
IF YOU'RE IN A PLACE THAT DAY
WHERE YOU FEEL NOT IN THE MOOD,
THAT'S WHEN IT JUST DRIVES YOU,
BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO PUT YOUR
PLACE IN THE PLACE OF I'M FINE.
I'M HAPPY.
A COUPLE WEEKS AGO I KIND OF
DECIDED TO START LIVING LIKE I
JUST WOKE UP, AND THIS WAS MY
LIFE.
>> Jimmy: OH, OKAY, I SEE.
>> NO , IN A GOOD WAY.
IF I WAS MY 12 YEAR OLD SELF AND
I SUDDENLY WOKE UP AND THIS WAS
MY LIFE, WHAT WOULD I BE LIKE
OH, MY GOD, I'M TAKING FOR
GRANTED I'VE BEEN TRYING TO LIVE
LIKE THAT LATELY.
>> Jimmy: THAT'S A GREAT WAY OF
LOOKING AT IT.
DID YOU COME UP WITH IT YOURSELF
OR DID SOMEBODY ADVISE YOU AND
TELL YOU TO THINK ABOUT IT LIKE
THAT?
>> NO, I CAME UP WITH IT BY
MYSELF.
SPORTY SPICE WAS TALKING TO ME,
AND SHE WAS SAYING -- I DON'T
WANT TO SAY IF, I DON'T KNOW IF
IT'S A SECRET OR WHATEVER.
BUT WHEN SHE WAS ON STAGE WITH
ALL THE GIRLS AND THEY WERE ALL
SMILING AT EACH OTHER AND SHE
WAS SAYING IT WAS A MAGICAL
MOMENT.
AT THE BEGINNING AND THE MIDDLE,
IT'S LIKE YOU WORK, WORK, WORK,
WORK, AND IT'S HUGE, HUGE, HUGE,
AND THEN IT'S DONE, AND IT'S
LIKE OH.
WHERE DID THAT GO?
AND I JUST THOUGHT ABOUT THAT
OH, MY GOD, I'M IN THAT PART OF
MY LIFE THAT IN THE FUTURE I'M
GOING TO BE LIKE, DAMN, I WISH
I'D BEEN, WHATEVER.
SO I'M GOING TO TRY TO BE AS
PRESENT AS POSSIBLE.
>> Jimmy: THIS IS GOOD.
THIS IS A GOOD THING.
NOW YOU'RE GOING TO GET TO ENJOY
SOME COMMERCIALS.
AND WHEN WE COME BACK, WE'LL
TALK MORE WITH BILLIE EILISH.
WE'RE BACK
WITH BILLIE EILISH WHO WILL BE
ON THE AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS ON
SUNDAY.
YOU'RE GOING ON TOUR STARTING IN
MIAMI, STARTING MARCH 9th, AND
ALSO THIS IS THE ALBUM, IT'S
CALLED, WELL, YOU PROBABLY
ALREADY HAVE IT.
IT'S THE "WHERE DO WE ALL GO
WHEN WE SLEEP" TOUR.
WHEN YOU ARE THIS AGE AND YOU'RE
DOING WORK AS YOU ARE DOING.
>> MM-HM.
>> Jimmy: YOU, BECAUSE YOU
REALLY GROW SO MUCH AS AN
ARTIST, REALLY, IN A LOT OF WAYS
AT YOUR AGE, DO YOU LOOK BACK AT
THINGS YOU DID TWO YEARS AGO AND
GO, OH, BOY, I WISH I COULD DO
THAT OVER AGAIN?
DO YOU THINK OF IT THAT WAY?
>> NO.
>> Jimmy: YOU DO NOT?
>> I'LL PROBABLY FEEL THAT WAY
IN A COUPLE YEARS FROM NOW.
>> AND I LOOK AT VIDEOS FROM TWO
YEARS AGO, IT'S REALLY, LIKE
IT'S GROSS.
>> Jimmy: THAT'S WHAT I WAS
SAYING.
>> IT'S GROSS.
LIKE I DID THIS THING WITH
VANITY FAIR WHERE I DID THE SAME
INTERVIEW TWO YEARS APART.
IT WAS LIKE ONE YEAR, IT WAS
2017.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
2018.
AND THEN WE SHOT THE OTHER ONE,
OR THE THIRD, THIRD YEAR, WHICH
IS ACTUALLY TWO YEARS LATER, A
COUPLE WEEKS AGO, AND I HAD TO
WATCH BACK ALL THESE THINGS I'D
NEVER SEEN FROM WHEN I WAS 15.
LIKE, IT'S LIKE, OH.
>> Jimmy: WELL, IT'S IMPORTANT
TO REMEMBER THAT.
>> IF I MET ME THEN NOW, I WOULD
PUNCH THAT GIRL IN THE FACE.
>> Jimmy: I THINK THAT'S A
POSITIVE.
IF YOU'RE NOT LOOKING BACK AT
THINGS LIKE THAT, YOU'RE NOT
GROWING IN ANY WAY.
>> YES, TOTALLY, TOTALLY.
>> Jimmy: SO THE AMAs, THIS
SHOW, IS THERE ANYONE THERE, AN
ARTIST THERE THAT YOU'VE NOT MET
THAT YOU ARE EXCITED TO MEET?
>> I GENERALLY DON'T KNOW WHO'S
GOING TO BE THERE.
>> Jimmy: YOU DON'T?
>> I DON'T.
>> Jimmy: JESSIE REYES IS GOING
TO BE ON THE SHOW, HOW DO YOU
KNOW EACH OTHER?
>> I FOUND HER MUSIC WHEN I WAS
LIKE 13 AND BECAME A FAN OF IT.
AND THEN YEARS LATER, AFTER I
HAD MUSIC OUT AND STUFF, I
REALIZED THAT, I DON'T EVEN
REMEMBER HOW IT STARTED, BUT I
HEARD THIS SONG "GATEKEEPER"
THAT SHE HAS, AND IT BLEW MY
MIND.
AND I REMEMBER --
>> Jimmy: DID YOU REACH OUT TO
HER?
>> I JUST POSTED THE SONG ON MY
ACTUAL ACCOUNT AND WAS LIKE,
THIS IS THE MOST INCREDIBLE
THING I'VE EVER HEARD IN MY
LIFE.
WE GOT TOGETHER AND GOT ALONG
REALLY WELL.
WE WENT OUT A COUPLE TIMES,
WROTE A SONG TOGETHER, WROTE
ANOTHER SONG, YEAH, WE'RE JUST
FRIENDS.
SHE'S LIKE ONE OF THE MOST
TALENTED.
SHE'S PROBABLY THE BEST WRITER
I'VE EVER MET BESIDES MY
BROTHER.
>> Jimmy: IF YOU'D LIKE, YOU CAN
INTRODUCE HER AT THE END OF THE
SHOW.
YOU CAN STICK AROUND.
IT'S GREAT TO HAVE YOU HERE.
WE'RE GOING TO SEE YOU ON TV,
AND ON TOUR.
BILLIE EILISH, EVERYBODY.
