-My first guest
is a four-time Golden Globe-nominated actress
and a "New York Times" best-selling author.
She's also the co-founder of a new wine brand,
called Avaline, which is available now.
Here is my pal, Cameron Diaz! Hey!
Aww. I miss your face.
You look great, buddy.
-Thanks. So good to see you.
I can't believe this.
I was hoping to come see y'all this summer.
-I know. 'Cause I haven't --
We haven't seen you since you had the baby.
-Nope. -How is it being quarantined
with the baby?
-Heaven. It's been heaven, Jimmy.
You know. You just got to spend four months with the girls,
and you get to have every moment, and it goes so fast.
And you really don't understand that when people
have always said to me, you know, "Really enjoy the time
when they're babies. It's the best."
And literally, every single day, there's just --
there's leaps and bounds, and these things that happen
that she's not the same baby she was yesterday.
-Yeah, I know. People always said that to me, too,
and I was like, "All right, all right, all right."
They're like, "No, it goes fast."
I go, "I understand. I heard you."
And, gosh, they're right.
-Where was -- What -- Where was yesterday?
Yesterday is literally gone, and today is a new day,
and tomorrow will be a new day
that she's a completely different baby.
But it's so gratifying to actually get to see that growth
and to be a part of it and to help
just let her be her, and it's just amazing.
I just -- It's the best thing
that ever happened to both Benj and I.
We're so -- We're just so happy.
-We were so happy when you called us.
We were just crying and jumping up and down.
Has your photos on your phone completely changed?
-[ Laughing ] I mean...
Well, first off, the sad thing is that my phone
used to be pictures of my dogs and my dogs' poop.
Because I have four of them.
You know that you're just constantly sending pictures
of your dog poop to your veterinarian, going,
"Is this normal? Is this okay?"
Now, thankfully, I can say that my pictures are no longer
of my dog poop, and I'm also gonna say
they're not of my child's poop.
-Oh, that was my next follow-up question!
[ Both laugh ]
The pediatrician's getting pictures now.
-We're very confident in being able to decipher her poop,
'cause it's very similar to...
-Oh, are you -- are you doing the whole --
all the movies and the shows and "Baby Shark."
Is that happening in your house? -Oh, my God.
-Let me just tell you, it's literally,
we have "Baby Shark" on rotation, we have Elmo's song,
we have "Sesame street." -Yes.
-It's crazy. We're just jamming out over there.
-Get ready for that -- -The thing that
I don't understand, like, you go, "I will never
play that music for my child. That's crazy."
But you watch their response, and they're so taken by it.
It's like she changes. She's like -- [ Gasps ]
"My people!" [ Both laugh ]
-Isn't it the greatest thing? Honestly, we --
My kids are little late to the party,
but they're getting into Disney songs right now.
It is Disney princess, Idina Menzel all day long.
And when that song came out, at first, you know,
we were making jokes and all this stuff.
Can we stop listening to the song, "Let It Go"?
It's the best song in the world to watch your kids sing the song
and get into it and close their eyes.
It's my favorite -- I love it.
Dude, I'm so the opposite where I was.
It's, like, all changing.
-When we go on car drives, Benj will put on Cuban --
Afro-Cuban music, and she is in her car seat,
and her little legs are, like, kicking.
I'm like, "Yep, that's my girl."
-Is he writing songs for the baby?
He must be. -He's got about a dozen now.
They're amazing. That's what I sing all day
in my head are his songs to her, because she just loves it.
She just is like, you know,
looks at her daddy, and she just loves him so much.
She thinks he's the bee's knees.
It -- oh -- It makes my heart just want to explode.
-I know Benj is involved with this -- is it Veeps?
-Yes, with Veeps.
That's his platform him and Joel started.
Artists can't go out and tour, and we all know that's how
musicians and all artists, people who pay --
you know, get paid to be in a room,
they can't do that any longer.
So, they created this platform where,
if artists can, you know,
take their livestreams and make a living.
Because touring is not coming back anytime soon.
-Do you remember your first concert as a kid?
-Yes, I do. -Oh, wait a sec. All right.
Wait. I'm already mad, 'cause that's a very confident --
Yeah. What was it?
-Okay. So, when I was 11,
1984, Van Halen, "Jump," was, like, my life.
It was my life.
-No. You did not see Van Halen in 1984.
-At the Forum here in Los Angeles.
My mother came home from work.
I had been sick that day. She came home from work,
she said, "I got a surprise for you,
but you have to go to school tomorrow."
And I was like, "Okay. What is it?"
And she was like -- One of her clients
had given her, like, the loge seats on the side of,
like, right down by the stage for Van Halen.
They were like, "We don't need these,"
and my mom was like, "My daughter loves Van Halen."
So it's me, 11, my sister, 13.
My mom goes, she drops us off at the front where we go in.
She's in her Volkswagen bus, she goes and parks,
she does her needlepoint and drinks her wine
and eats her cheese in the car while we're in the Forum
screaming our heads off.
And, Jimmy, when I say screaming our heads off,
I mean, like, I'm like, "I love you, Eddie!"
Like -- Like, blood going down my throat
'cause I'm screaming so loud, like crying.
It was, like, a Beatles moment.
And there was, like, these girls behind us who were,
like, mature, young women who, like, kept hitting us
and going, "Quiet! Stop screaming! Stop it!"
The women in front of us were turning around, going,
"Be quiet!" and me and my sister were there just, like, dying.
We were losing our [bleep]
-And they are an amazing live band.
I mean, they are incredible live.
-Okay.
David Lee Roth, at that time, in 1984,
was still capable of jumping across the entire --
-With the boom box? [ Both laugh ]
-He was like Michael Jordan before Michael Jordan.
-[ Laughing ]
-He could jump that far for that long.
-I got to see them when they had a little reunion concert
at Café Wha? in New York, in a tiny club,
and they sang "Panama," which is unbelievable, the song.
And they got to that one point, where, like...
♪ And da, da, ain't no stopping us ♪
And we all screamed like ♪ Pana -- ♪
But the band didn't play anything.
They were like -- [ Clears throat, sniffs ]
-Shut up. You know what?
-And then, they looked back, and they're like...
♪ Pana-- ♪ And we all went, "Aah!"
It was awesome! It was awesome.
-You're like, "Whaaat?" -Yes!
It was the greatest thing I've ever seen.
Best move in rock 'n' roll. It so worked.
It tricked all of us.
-Took it to the next level. -Oh, I...
-You know what I did for my sister's 40th birthday?
Is Van Halen was on their reunion tour
with David Lee Roth. -Yeah.
So, I got tickets at, like, the place that I could guess
was the closest spot to where we were when we were 11 and 13.
And it was for the two of us, and we went to The Forum,
and we went and saw Van Halen. -That's cool.
That is cool. See?
You just took cool one, you took the next step cooler.
My first concert was Weird Al Yankovic.
Oh, by the way, that makes total sense.
[ Both laugh ]
I loved it, I loved it.
You know, looking through all your credits
and all the films you've made, I didn't know --
I don't know why -- I just assumed
you already had been in movies,
but "The Mask" was your first acting credit.
-"The Mask" was my first film,
and I turned 21 on the set of that film.
It was such an amazing experience.
It changed my life forever.
What was I going to do with my life at 21 years old?
Like, I had no plans, really.
I was just kind of, like, hustling as a model, you know?
Like, just, I don't know. Who knew?
-Yeah. -You know?
-And you fell in love right there and said, "This is it."
I got the bug. This is what I want to do.
-You know, it was just like, at 21 years old, you're like,
"Oh, I get to be around a bunch of creative people
who all work as this amazing team for the same --
you know, wanting to create this one thing
that everybody's just completely committed to."
And it was just this family and comradery and just laughter
all day long, that I was just like,
"I want to do this all the time."
-Was it Jim Carrey's first film, as well?
-No, but he had already done "Ace Ventura,"
but it hadn't come out yet.
So, he was still the white dude from "In Living Color."
-[ Laughing ]
Yeah, that's right. Yeah.
He was just on our show last week.
He has this new memoir out that's really awesome
and different and trippy and cool.
Was he great on set?
-Oh, my God, Jim was the best.
We had the best time, really, honestly.
It was kind of like the end of the innocence, in a weird way.
Because he hadn't become Jim Carrey.
You know? So there, wasn't all that
with him at that time, even on set.
You know, we were just kind of free.
And nobody knew who I was, you know?
-Isn't that great? You don't forget that.
-Yeah, it was really cool. It was really cool.
And Jim was always -- you know, he's such a jokester,
and he's always pulling jokes on everybody
and making things so surprising all the time.
-[ Laughing ] He's the best.
I want to talk to you about Avaline, your new wine!
What are you talking about?! What?!
It's real, it's real! It's here!
It's gorgeous! It's so fun!
Let's talk about it.
More with Cameron Diaz when we come back, everybody.
