(applause)
- Hey, alright! What's up?
- Okay. So wait, you were in a band when you were younger,
right?
- Yeah. I mean, yeah.
That kept me out of trouble.
Right? Just garage band things.
- [Kelly] Wait. What? This is a band, my man.
- Where are you digging on the internet?
Finding this stuff?
- [Kelly] We, searched and look at the cutey.
Oh my gosh. Your band is so awesome.
- [Jeremy] It's ridiculous, yeah.
- Wait, when did you ever, when you were a kid,
did you ever pretend you are someone?
I pretended I was Steven Tyler.
- That's Amazing.
- I love Steven Tyler.
I had a fan and everything and it would. (rockstar cheer)
- Oh, wow. Well, you could probably do it.
- [Kelly] Did you ever pretend you were-
- No, I think I wanted to sing.
Look, I get always sang, but I couldn't sing like
the bands that I liked, you know, like Def Leppard,
like Joe Elliott, all these kinds of guys. Right?
- Yeah.
- Just couldn't do it. So was it wasn't really
my vibe. So I actually didn't really sort of find my voice
until I was later on in life, and my own sort of styling
of like, I sing a lot of karaoke.
- What's your, go-to. Cause I'm like listening to your deep
tones right now and I'm just curious what you-
- [Jeremy] Oh, it's from six weeks of, you know,
traveling and you know. It's shattered right now.
- [Kelly] Okay, okay. I love that that's when I performed
Janis Joplin. That's what I got.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Well, when you're not shattered,
what do you sing at karaoke?
- I don't know. There's a, there's probably, I mean,
'New York State of Mind' was one of my faves.
- [Kelly] Oh good one.
- [Jeremy] Yeah, that Billy Joel one.
- Yeah
- But yeah, it to me was always
a great thing to do cause I had no money.
You can go sing for free at a karaoke bar, right?
- [Kelly] Me too. I did too, yeah. (laughter)
- [Jeremy] Right? Isn't it great? You can be broke as yeah -
- [Kelly] So is it true that it, Sam Rockwell used to
lip sync on stage while you would hide
and you would be the one singing?
- Yeah, well, Sam.. We did it a few times. Yeah.
- [Kelly] Does this mean that Sam has absolutely no
singing voice whatsoever? (laughter)
- No, he's a, he's a performer.
Like I think one time I was hiding behind the curtain.
I was singing and he went up and performed it and yeah.
But I did that for a lot of my friends actually,
they would go, you know,
getting phone numbers and stuff out of the deal,
and free beers.
- Oh my gosh!
- Yeah. It was pretty awesome.
- You're the best wing-man ever!
(audience laughs)
- (laughs) Totally, exactly.
- That's like, wow, that's amazingly nice.
You could have gotten the numbers. That's all I'm saying.
Wait do you have like a go-to Christmas song
since it's like the season.
- Ooh. Gosh, I mean, I love all the Christmas
songs. I love them. I love the holiday spirit.
- What's the one if you hear, and you're like,
aw, it's Christmas.
- Jeez. Isn't all Christmas songs that?
(audience laughter)
- No, I mean like the one, like I feel like-
- Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow, right?
It's all Christmas.
- No, I feel like until I hear Bing Crosby
sing White Christmas-
- [Jeremy] Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
- Oh, okay. Like Frank Sinatra's?
- [Jeremy] Yeah. That kind of stuff.
- [Kelly] Okay, yeah.
- Well that's a beautiful, sentimental one.
- [Kelly] Well, there's a lot of versions. I'm just saying.
- But it always, they all sound like Christmas.
- Okay, yeah, so see, I'm more particular.
- Don't they all?
(laughter)
Frosty the freaking snowman? Right? It's Christmas.
- [Kelly] It depends on the singer If I get into it, or not.
- It has nothing to do with the singer!
- It does!
- No it doesn't!
- A singer can ruin the message!
- You can ruin a Christmas song, but it's still
a Christmas song.
- Totally. But that doesn't get me amped if I hear
someone suck on a Christmas song.
- (laughing) Right, well that's a different thing.
Right. What puts you in the Christmas mood.
What puts you in the Christmas mood is a different thing.
It's like a, I think it's like, you know,
sort of have yourself a Merry Little, you know-
- [Kelly] Yeah that's a good one.
- It's beautiful, sentimental, have your little cocoa.
- [Kelly] I'm just saying. Frank Sinatra is my favorite,
but whatever. Pick your own.
- [Jeremy] Yeah, love me some Frank.
- [Kelly] Yeah, yeah. So good.
Do you have any family traditions at Christmas time?
- [Jeremy] Uh, Yeah. They make a lot of babies.
(loud laughter)
They make a lot of babies at Christmas,
'cause there's a lot of them. There's a lot of them.
I love it (chuckles)
- I was like, we do this one tradition once a year.
That might be an issue.
- I don't know when they do it. I don't know how I do it.
All I know is I have to buy a lot of gifts for Christmas.
- Well, congrats on Hawkeye. Were you so stoked?
I know all of us were, I love all these shows breaking off.
- Yeah. Yeah.
So there'll be just a great opportunity to, you know,
instead of two-hour film and just go in and do like a longer
form of storytelling.
I didn't know, was going to be six hours.
I thought it might have been six or eight,
wasn't quite sure. Somewhere in there.
I just thought it'd be a better sort of introduction to,
you know, that world, you know, and it's,
it does have a lot of Christmas spirit to it and it is set
in New York at Christmas and-
- Oh my God. It's wonderful at Christmas time in New York.
- Yeah.
- Yeah. It's sort of the backdrop for the show and yeah,
it's good, man.
I learned, I learned a lot and had a great time doing it.
- That's so cool.
Well, all of us nerdy fans that love Avengers,
we were very stoked, so-
(audience cheering)
I'm like literally, its the one time when my kids will
watch me, they're five and seven and I'm like,
be quiet, its on!
Don't they get into it. Is Ava, your daughter, is she into-
- Well this is the thing. Yeah.
You know, cause she's eight now and you know,
I've been doing it for a long time.
Most of the stuff she can never see cause I do pretty
kind of heavy stuff typically.
So we got to go to the premiere. She got it.
She knew I was on her pajamas since she was two, right?
But you didn't know what it really meant.
All her friends at school knew and all right.
But she's never seen anything.
So I got to actually take her to see the show and probably
the highlight of, of my career for sure.
If not, my life was really wonderful thing to share with,
with my daughter and, and to see her to feel like, you know,
she's proud of my dad.
- She's proud, yeah, my dad is a superhero!
- Your daughter is proud of you.
It's like, that's so cool, man.
- 'Cause she's 8 right?
- Yeah
- So that's only gonna last so long. (laughing)
- I'll take it while I get it.
- I'm just getting it to last forever. I'm totally kidding.
I just mean I have a five and seven year old that are just
kind of figuring out they don't care,
but then they're kind of like,
why are people talking to you? It's just a,
it's a weird thing to navigate with kids. And I'm like,
yeah, I'm cool.
Spread the word.
- Right now. It's rocking right now I'm a pretty popular
guy at her school. So.
- Well, yeah,
and I took my daughter to a birthday party recently and she
literally said, I embarrassed her.
All I did was, it was a star wars themed birthday party
and I said, oh man.
I was like, that's a lightsaber just so you know
and her and her friend, Leah and Leah was like, oh, I know.
And then she turned, she goes, you're embarrassing me mom.
(audience laughing)
And I was like, you don't watch star wars,
how you know what a lightsaber is. That wasn't embarrassing.
Anyway, I'm embarrassing I guess,
whatever we've reached that point. So.
- Don't listen to him.
- Oh, it broke me. I was like, I embarrassed you,
you just throw a fit at target, like two hours ago.
I was like, let's talk about embarrassment anyway, but okay.
So is it true that you dressed as Hawkeye when you went to
Ava's school?
- Oh yeah. That was the idea because I never had any,
took anything from any of the Marvel movies.
And so they asked me to do like the valet thing to pick,
you know,
with the people you drive up to your car with the kid in it
and they need to be escorted to their classroom.
So I figured if I'm going to do it,
I'll dress up as Hawkeye.
- [Kelly] I love it, Hawkeye as valet.
(audience applauses)
- You are awesome.
- [Jeremy] But by the time the costume came around, it was,
it was Halloween already. So my daughter asked me,
will you just wear that for Halloween? And so I did.
So I went to,
we went to a little party with like 30 kids and I was just
making pizzas for 'em and
Dianne just ran security while they did, the uh-
- Were the kids just freaking out?
- trick or treating.
- I would've just been the kid, just like sitting there,
looking at you, like how's this happening?
How is this my life?
- Yeah. It's, it's a weird thing.
It's a weird thing. But it's also just, you know,
one of the coolest things ever as well,
what would typically be annoying for me in
life becomes the most wonderful blessing to see
to have kids like, you know, light up,
yeah can light up and smile
and it brings some joy to people. It's a beautiful thing.
And it makes me really happy, you know?
- Oh, that's so cool.
I love that for you, I wanna wear a superhero costume.
It looks like that you practice at your house,
your archery skills at your house.
I want to show this footage here. This is pretty cool.
So is this how you prepped?
(both laughing)
Please tell me this is your prep for like-
What kind of major expensive bow and arrow situation was
that?
- Yeah, that was my daughters mostly.
We were, yeah, it just being, you know, being bored.
- I love like in my brain movie,
this is the superhero at home.
Just like, totally like, look I'm so bored.
So is it true that you're the, this is awesome.
You're the volunteer fire chief in your community. Like.
(audience applauses)
- I'm actually building and building a station up at the,
at the house in Soho because it is a hot zone for,
for fires and creating some defensible space businesses and
things like that, just to protect the community.
- 'Cause there were fires recently this past year, yeah.
Yeah, Tahoe got struck pretty hard.
And yeah, so I work with the,
the fire departments up there and they're pretty awesome.
They're, teaching me and helping me and I still got to get
more hours in with them, but it's cool, man.
It's lovely to give back to the community and
I love to do it.
- [Kelly] Yeah
- I love being in nature.
(audience applauses)
And you know, heck, you've got firetrucks-
- And its such a helpful thing.
- And you know, gives me something to do, man.
It's, it's a wonderful thing to do on my off time.
- I have actually held one of those hoses before.
- No joke, right.
- It feels powerful.
- Yeah.
- Yeah. It feels really powerful.
So wait, you've got another show that we should mention,
it's Mayor of Kingstown so tell everybody what that's about
if they haven't seen it.
- It's a lot different than the Hawkeye show,
actually completely different. Kids, don't watch that one.
(kelly laughing)
But it's a beautiful, heavy,
really interesting kind of,
I don't know how to even explain it,
but it's a prison town and I play the mayor of Kingstown,
which is really not the mayor.
It's a guy that can grease all the wheels of this town where
the main business is incarceration. So it's,
- So is there a lot of corruption.
- Yeah there's all that. But it's also,
it's an interesting duo now and they're,
they're all over the country, by the way,
if you didn't know that there were towns,
we put prisons kind of out away from people typically.
Right.
But then towns kind of birthed around it because people work
in the prisons, people, you know,
waiting for people to come out of the prison. It's,
it's a whole it's the whole town is,
it's just a bunch of prisons and people all work in these
prisons, you know.
- [Kelly] Yeah, wow.
- It's instead of like, you know,
a bunch of Walmart's, there's just a bunch of prisons.
- Hey in my small town growing up that was our one store.
- That was it! Exactly, right.
- And it wasn't even a super one, it was like the old school
one, it was like-
- [Jeremy] Where did you grow up?
- Texas, like a really small town.
Burleson, like you don't know it.
- Like nowhere.
- So you don't know where? Its a metropolis now.
- I spend a lot of time in Dallas and like Plano, Texas.
- Okay, Dallas is very different.
Those are people with money.
- And electricity.
- Yeah, we lived on the other side,
like the sticks, not the bricks,
but like I said, I appreciate it now.
