-My first guest is one of my all-time favorites.
He's the funniest human. He's so talented.
I love the guy. He stars --
stars in and co-wrote the new movie "Hubie Halloween,"
which premieres October 7th on Netflix.
It is awesome, it is funny, it is scary.
Here is Adam Sandler.
-Yes, Jimmy. Yes, yes. -This is what I'm talking about.
-Jimmy. -This is what --
-You look good. You look handsome.
-Thank -- Thank you very much.
I appreciate that. You look good, too.
You got the beard going.
-Yes. Just covering a lot of -- lot of chins.
Lot of chins came in. -[ Laughs ]
-Yeah. Had to really --
had to really grow this one long to block those suckers.
-Thank you for being on the show again, Zooming.
You were on, helped me out when we were first starting out,
and I appreciate that. -Yes.
-Are you getting used to Zoom? -Zoom is --
I don't love Zooming as much as everyone else 'cause the --
It's hard to hang up on Zoom because people --
I'm good at hanging up on the -- on a cellphone.
You know, pretending I got into a car accident or something
and just pressing end.
But Zoom, you got to literally look at somebody and go,
"I -- I've had enough of this."
-[ Laughing ]
-"This is too much, man.
I don't want to be around you anymore."
-Yeah. "Our conversation's over."
And you go, "Wow. Really blunt."
"Saturday Night Live" is -- season premiere is this weekend.
They're back, live, at 30 Rock. -Yes.
-Our buddy, Chris Rock, is hosting.
-Yeah. Isn't that nice that they --
that Lorne was like, "You know who'd be great for this time?
Old Chris Rock." He -- He --
I was talking to Chris a couple of weeks ago,
when he was thinking of hosting.
And I was very, like, "There's nobody like you, buddy.
You have to do that."
He was excited. And --
-Perfect. -You know his monologue
is gonna be incredible. How about Rock,
anything he says, even in conversation, you go,
"There's no way I would have thought of that,
ever, in my life, but that's so on the money."
Everything he says is so on the money,
but you're just like, "Wow.
How did I not ever think that way?
That's incredible."
-Well, you've known him since stand-up, right?
Did you guys do stand-up together?
-Yes, I knew Rock.
We know each other since 17 years old.
Just like you. You started real young, too.
I was just a young baby, and I was kind of known
as the young guy in comedy.
And then, I got to The Comic Strip,
and they kept -- Lucien, who ran The Comic Strip...
-Yeah, Lucien Hold, yeah.
-Lucien Hold kept saying, "You and Chris Rock,"
and I kept saying, "Who's Chris Rock?
What do you keep bringing this other guy up to me?"
And they're like, "Well, he's out with Eddie Murphy right now.
Eddie Murphy loves him," and I was like,
"Eddie Murphy likes somebody, not me?"
I was so upset. -[ Laughs ]
-And then -- And then, Rock came to the club
after hanging out with Eddie.
And he came to the club, and we met.
And we just became really tight immediately.
I was like, "Oh, man, this guy is funny."
You know, I saw him --
I saw Rock like 10 years ago in Vegas.
I went with Nicholson -- me, Nicholson, and Jim Brooks.
-Wow. -And I sat in between
Nicholson and Jim Brooks, watching Rock,
and, literally, every time I looked left or right,
Nicholson was doubled over and Jim Brooks was doubled over,
and I was going, "I wish Rock could see this, man,"
'cause we were a few rows back, and he was not getting to see --
Imagine getting to see Jack Nicholson and Jim Brooks
thinking you're the funniest guy on the planet.
Anyways, that was cool. -Also, the thing I love
about Jack, and you know this, too --
he laughs the way he talks, kind of.
Like, he goes like, "Ha, ha ha, ha!
Ha ha!" [ Laughter ]
I'm like... That's how he laughs.
-Yeah.
-I want to talk about "Hubie Halloween."
-Yeah. Why not, Jimmy?
-In a different -- to shift gears,
you dedicate the movie to the late Cameron Boyce,
who was supposed to be in "Hubie Halloween,"
but he, sadly, passed away before filming.
-Yes, just a few days before filming,
and that kid was a great kid.
Just such a -- His family's amazing.
I know him from "Grown-Ups."
He was a little kid in "Grown-Ups,"
and I watched him grow up and become, like, a superstar.
My kids worshipped him. Every ki--
He came to my daughter's bat mitzvah.
-Really? -And he came
and literally signed -- I mean, that bat mitzvah was gigantic.
There were like 400 people there and massive amount of kids.
And he signed every kid's autograph,
and everybody was freaking out over Cameron.
And he was just the nicest kid.
And he always had charities going on
and always would speak to me about, "Can you do this?
Can you do that?" It was always for charity.
He didn't care about anything else.
And just a nice, solid, talented kid.
You know, like, when he was a little kid --
Remember in "Grown-Ups,"
the "I want to get chocolate wasted"?
-Oh, yeah. -It was like the --
the little girl said that, Alexis says that.
And -- And I think --
-"I want to get chocolate wasted."
-Yeah. She won, that year,
like, an MTV award, Funniest Line or whatever,
and she got the award.
But Cameron said it around the table when he was ad-libbing,
and everyone laughed.
And then, he said it a couple times,
and I go, "Cameron, you mind if the little girl says it?
Might be funnier." And he was like, "Okay."
[ Both laugh ]
And then -- And then, she did it.
Blah, blah, blah. And then, after, I go,
"Cameron, I can use yours or hers.
Whatever you want." He goes, "Whatever --
Whatever's funniest, man," but kind of like, "I'll kill you."
And then, the next thing you know,
the nice little girl gets -- And I saw Cameron years later.
I go, "That 'chocolate wasted,' that's still bugging you."
He's like, "You owe me." -[ Laughs ]
Oh, that's awesome. That's cool.
I didn't know that he wrote that.
That's cool. "Hubie Halloween."
Is this your first holiday film for Netflix?
-Yeah. Yeah.
They wanted to make a holiday movie.
I knew Chris-- if I made a Christmas movie,
people would say, "No, no, no. I'm not buying that, buddy."
So I said, "Let's go Halloween.
Let's go Halloween on you."
-So many funny people in this -- in this movie.
I mean... -Yes.
-So many funny people. Tim Meadows, Maya Rudolph.
-Yes. Yeah, Kenan.
-Kenan's great. Shaq is in it.
Shaq's very funny.
-Shaq's incredible. Dan Patrick is in it!
He yelled at me this morning!
He says I never mention that he's in the movies.
Dan Patrick. -I'm sorry.
We had to edit that out for time, but...
[ Both laugh ]
-That was good, Jimmy.
Dan is hilarious in it! Thank you, Dan.
