-Welcome, welcome, welcome.
Thank you so much for being here.
Yeah, that feels good, right?
The aud-- -Oh, my goodness.
[ Cheers and applause ] Guys, oh, my goodness.
You make me feel so special. Wow!
-You're beloved. -Oh, my goodness.
-We love you as Ned. -Oh, thank you, man.
Thank you. [ Cheers and applause ]
Oh, thank you, guys.
-You're funny. You're natural. It's so good.
I just wanted to remind you -- I don't know if you know this --
you're in three of the top-10
highest-grossing movies of all time.
-Whoa! -Come on, now.
-Whoa! -Of all time.
-That is honestly -- I can't even begin to explain
my excitement just being on, Jimmy.
I just want to say, I first came out to the mainland
and I started going to drama school back in 2015,
near the Flat Iron Building downtown.
-Yeah.
-And, you know, being a broke college student,
my friends and I --
[ Cheers and applause ] -That's 90% of our audience.
-I appreciate you all. -Yeah, me too.
-The thing that we could afford to do every day in New York
was to walk up and down Manhattan.
So, to walk by this building every day
and just hopefully one day be on,
and to really be on today is just --
My mind is -- I'm so, like -- It's insane.
And The Roots --
Like, I literally am such a big -- I can't even believe
I'm breathing the same air as you guys.
Like, this is crazy. Oh, my goodness.
-Now we're family. Come on. -Oh, I appreciate you.
Thank you, Jimmy. Thank you.
-"Spider-Man: Homecoming" was only your second movie.
-Yes, for sure. -That's wild.
-Yeah, some people just get hella lucky.
I don't know what it is.
-I mean, and how did you get chemistry with
Tom Holland that fast?
I mean, it feels like you guys
were really best friends in --
-Yeah, I mean, I'm very lucky that, you know,
we all sort of started this journey together.
We were both -- I mean, we were all 19 at the time.
And, so, you know, putting a bunch of young kids
together on a movie is maybe not be the most responsible idea.
But, you know, through that,
through all the trial and tribulation,
we've sort of just grown together as, like, a family.
And now every day is like just family day.
-Yeah. Well, you -- -Yeah.
-You guys were roommates, right? -Yeah, yeah.
-That's a fast way to get to know someone.
-Yeah, for sure. It was like a frat house.
You know, like, a bunch of 19-year-olds
just, like, messing up and eating a lot of junk food.
Not the best environment,
but the funnest environment for sure.
-You had to keep one of the greatest secrets of all time
for "No Way Home."
You were in the scene with all three Spider-Men.
-Yep, classic. [ Cheers and applause ]
Yeah, my -- This is actually really funny.
But my girlfriend -- I had brought her on
to, like, visit work once, and it was, like,
inadvertently during, like, when Tobey and Andrew first came.
And I had introduced her to Tobey, and she was like, "Wait.
Why is this Spider-Man, like, on your 'Spider-Man'?"
And I was like, "Well, baby,
it's, like, a really big secret, so maybe don't say nothing."
Yeah. [ Laughs ]
And she was like -- Like, she's not a big fan,
but she obviously loves "Spider-Man."
But I think that she was going to tell her dad
just, like, out of nowhere, and I had to stop her.
-No.
-But, like, you know, her dad wasn't going to say anything.
I just feel like she's not
really used to this world, obviously.
-No.
-Yeah, so, she sat on it for a year and a half.
She knew the secret everyone wanted to know. Yeah.
-That's also a bonding experience.
-Yeah, for sure.
She definitely got to know them really quick.
-Yeah. Some fans think that your character may become a villain
somewhere in the Multiverse.
-Uh-huh. Interesting.
You know, I'd just like to say, I'm really sorry, everyone.
I did this really stupid thing back in 2016
and mentioned it in an interview.
And then I stupidly just continued with the story as if
like I knew what was going to happen.
And now everyone is talking about it.
And I just -- I'm sorry for all the misinformation.
-Wait. What's the misinformation?
-I mean, like, there's just -- A lot of people like the idea,
and a lot of people are disgusted by the idea.
So I just feel like I -- Because I'm very much --
I'll do whatever.
You know what I mean? But...
-I mean, clearly, we know that you love Tom Holland.
You love Spider-Man. Of course.
But a good story is a good story.
-Yeah. -Nothing beats a good story.
-It scares me because "The Tonight Show"
is a big deal, and if I say something on
"The Tonight Show"...
[ Breathes deeply ] -Okay, yeah, alright.
Alright, yeah.
But, hey, if you guys want it enough,
let Marvel know, and we'll figure something out.
-The fans will do it, you know?
-Yeah, the fans will make it happen.
[ Cheers and applause ]
And you want the fans to watch your new series,
"Reginald the Vampire."
-Yes. Oh, please.
-You star in this. You executive-produced it.
-Yeah. -How do you describe this show?
-I would say it's something
that we've absolutely never put on TV before.
I would say that it's a very zany and quirky,
but lovable show.
You know, I think that we have a lot of comparisons
to other shows, but I would say, you guys just won't
expect what's going to happen in the show.
-Yeah. It's in the vampire world, but it's not --
-It's sort of like -- It's watching, like,
a human being go through all the human things,
like trying to establish relationships
and finding a friend and finding your place in the universe,
but all in the backdrop of becoming a vampire.
So it's a very normal, human story.
-It's relatable up to a point. -Absolutely.
-Yeah, and it's fun. Yeah. -Absolutely.
-I do want to show everyone a clip.
Here's Jacob Batalon in "Reginald the Vampire."
Take a look at this.
-Oh, no.
No.
Vampires are not real.
They're just a story.
-Look, you're a mother[bleep] vampire, man.
You're -- You're undead.
You can never die...
never grow old.
I mean, you can't die unless someone
stakes you in the heart or you get stranded in the sun,
but that's very, very unlikely.
-Can I still eat pizza?
-Yeah, go for it.
You can eat pizza.
-What about ice cream? -Ice cream, too.
-So my taste buds still taste.
-I think you're putting a little too much emphasis on
the pizza and the ice cream right now.
-Yeah, exactly. Jacob Batalon, everybody.
"Reginald the Vampire" premieres Wednesday at 10:00 p.m. on Syfy.
We love you, bud. -Appreciate you, Jimmy.
-Justin Thomas joins us after the break.
Stick around, everybody!
