YESTERDAY WAS VALENTINES. WERE WE A ROMANTIC BUNCH?
HOW DID YOU CELEBRATE, WHAT DID YOU DO?
>> I AM. MY HUSBAND AND I ARE ALWAYS
REALLY GOOD ABOUT CARDS AND TREATS.
I GOT A REESES PEANUT BUTTER CUP I WAS THRILLED ABOUT.
>> James: SENSATIONAL. SO MY KIDS ARE SCHOOL AGE, SO
MOST OF VALENTINES BECOMES DOING ALL THE VALENTINES FOR ALL THE
CLASSMATES. >> James: I CAN'T.
YOU'RE REALLY POKING A NERVE HERE FOR ME.
>> YEAH, WHAT'S YOUR NERVE? >> James: HAS THIS ALWAYS BEEN
THE WAY IN AMERICA? >> SINCE I REMEMBER, YES.
>> James: IT'S JUST A BAD IDEA.
>> I AGREE WITH YOU, IT'S REALLY STRANGE.
>> James: WHEN DOES IT STOP? DO YOU WRITE CARDS AND THINGS?
>> IT'S ALWAYS BEEN THE WAY. THE FOUNDING FATHERS WERE, LIKE,
LET'S MAKE SURE THE CHILDREN GIVE EACH OTHER THEIR
VALENTINES. THE PARENTS WILL DO THEM FOR THE
CHILDREN. >> James: BUT IS THERE AN AGE
THAT IT STOPS IN AMERICA? >> I THINK IT STOPS BY HIGH
SCHOOL. NO?
>> James: SO 12? WHEN THEY MEAN IT.
>> James: SO WHEN YOU'RE 12, IT'S, LIKE, ON YOUR OWN, KID,
YOU GET WHAT YOU GET. >> OR THAT PERSON GOT, YOU KNOW,
TEN VALENTINES AND THAT KID GOT NONE AND WE ALL KNOW HOW THIS
SHAKES OUT. WE ALL KNOW THE HIERARCHY.
>> James: CHARLIE YOU DON'T REALLY CELEBRATE VALENTINES AND
YOU DON'T GET BIG INTO IT. >> NO.
>> James: BUT LAST WEEK WAS YOUR BIRTHDAY AND YOU WENT BIG?
>> I DIDN'T INTEND TO BUT WE WENT TO A REALLY FANCY JAPANESE
RESTAURANT AND WE HAD LIKE A SEVEN-COURSE MEAL.
THEY DID, LIKE, A SEVEN-COURSE SAKEÉ TASTING.
>> James: OH... AND THEY WERE REAL AMBITIOUS
SO IT WAS LIKE THAT, AND SEVEN OF THOSE --
>> James: OH, MY GOD -- IS SIX TOO MANY.
>> James: HANG ON. THE WHOLE THING FULL OF SAKEÉ.
>> YEAH. >> James: AND YOU JUST --
OH, I TOOK CARE OF IT. >> James: WELL DONE.
YEAH. AND YOU'RE SITTING EACH TIME,
EATING EACH COURSE AND THEN YOU GET UP.
>> James: YOU'RE TRADITIONALLY NOT EATING THE VOLUME OF FOOD
THAT YOU NEED TO EAT TO DEAL WITH THAT AMOUNT OF SAKEÉ.
YOU'RE NOT HAVING FRIES TO THE TABLE.
YOU'RE HAVING A SMALL THING OF RAW FISH AND THEN STAND UP AND
JUST FALL OVER. >> WE MIGHT HAVE GONE TO AN IN
AND OUT BURGER AFTERWARD, I'M NOT SURE.
YOU HAVE TO ASK THE UBER DRIVER. I DON'T REMEMBER THE THING.
>> OH, DEAR. HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
>> James: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AND I'M GLAD YOU WENT HARD AS
EVERYONE SHOULD. >> THANK YOU.
>> James: NOW, ANNA, YOU'RE FROM CHICAGO.
>> I AM. >> James: BUT I'VE ALWAYS
ASSOCIATED PEOPLE FROM CHICAGO WITH A VERY PARTICULAR ACCENT
WHICH YOU DON'T HAVE. >> THAT'S DIVINE THAT YOU THINK
THAT. I THINK MOST OF THE PEOPLE THAT
DON'T KNOW ME WEALTHY I HAVE A REALLY OBNOXIOUS CHICAGO ACCENT.
>> James: REALLY? YEAH.
>> James: I DON'T HEAR IT. NONE OF THE CHARACTERS I'VE
PLAYED ARE FROM CHICAGO, SO MAYBE THAT'S WHY.
I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW.
>> James: I THINK I'M PROBABLY TOO BRITISH AND I THINK WHEN
PEOPLE ARE FROM CHICAGO, THEY'RE LIKE, CHICAGO.
>> I HAVE SAY SAUSAGE, POP -- I DON'T SAY SODA.
>> HOW DO YOU SAY THE FOOTBALL TEAM.
>> THE BEARS. >> James: WHAT.
THE BEARS. >> James: YOU SAY IT DOWN,
DA BEARS. I CAN'T DO IT WITHOUT MOVING MY
HEAD. >> YOU CAN.
>> James: NO, I CAN'T. DA BEARS.
I GENUINELY CAN'T DO IT. >> WHY NOT?
MIKE DITKA. YOU SAY, LIKE, MIKE DITKA.
>> James: OH, PLEASE. NOT MY FAULT.
>> James: WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, LET'S NOT START GETTING
OUR DICKERS OUT. >> I'M NOT TOUCHING THAT ONE.
>> James: CHARLIE, ARE YOU AWARE THERE'S A PETITION ONLINE
ABOUT YOUR VOICE, AN IT'S CALLED LET CHARLIE DAY KNOW HIS VOICE
IS BEAUTIFUL. HAVE YOU SEEN THIS?
>> THAT'S KIND OF SWEET! >> James: DO YOU NOT THINK
YOUR VOICE IS BEAUTIFUL? >> NO.
( LAUGHTER ) NO.
I MEAN, WELL, IT TOOK ME A WHILE TO REALIZE I HAD AN ODD VOICE
BECAUSE WHAT I HEAR IS LIKE A JAMES EARL JONES, MORGAN FREEMAN
KIND OF THING. >> James: OH, OKAY.
I HEAR A RICH, SEXY VOICE. YOU HAVE WONDERFUL
CONFIDENCE. >> THANK YOU.
AD THEN WHEN I SEE A MOVIE I'M IN, I'M, LIKE, HAVE THEY PITCHED
IT UP? WHAT ARE THEY DOING?
>> James: BUT DOES ANYONE IN YOUR FAMILY HAVE A SIMILAR
VOICE? YOU HAVE A SISTER.
>> NO, I'M THE ONLY ONE BLESSED WITH THIS ODD VOICE.
BUT I'M PRETTY SURE, LIKE, ANY DAY NOW IT'S GOING TO DROP, AND
THE NEXT, LIKE, FIVE, TEN YEARS, MY CAREER IS GOING TO BE A WHOLE
DIFFERENT -- ( TALKING IN LOW TONES )
>> James: ANNA, WHAT WOULD YOU DO WHEN YOU ENTERTAINED YOURSELF
AROUND THE HOUSE. >> I WAS AN ONLY CHILD FOR 14
YEARS BEFORE MY HALF BROTHER WAS BORN.
>> ONE GUY! ( LAUGHTER )
>> AND WE ALSO DIDN'T GROW UP IN THE SAME HOUSE SO TOTALLY ONLY
CHILD, AND I ENTERTAINED MYSELF VERY WELL.
I HAD LOTS AND LOTS OF BARBIES GROWING UP, I WAS VERY INVOLVED
WITH THEIR STORY. I COPIED THEIR FACES AND WOULD
WRITE OUT ALL THEIR INFORMATION AND LAMINATE THE PIECES OF PAPER
SO THAT THEY HAD, LIKE, I.D.S. >> James: WOW.
WE HAD CARPET SAMPLES I WOULD MAKE, LIKE, THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD.
WE HAD A BARBIE THAT WASN'T REAL, SHE WAS THE COSTCO BRAND
BARBIE AND SO SHE BECAME, LIKE, THE VILLAGE ALCOHOLIC.
I AFFIXED A BOTTLE TO HER HAND. SHE LOST CUSTODY OF HER TEENAGE
DAUGHTER WHO GOT PREGNANT, IT WAS VERY INVOLVED.
>> James: IS SHE OKAY? NO.
>> James: CHARLIE, YOU'RE BRILLIANT IN THIS FILM.
WHAT IS IT ABOUT AND WHO DO YOU PLAY?
>> SHOUT OUT, WE ARE THE NUMBER ONE MOVIE NOW ACROSS ALL
STREAMING PLATFORMS. >> WHAT!
I WANT TO SAY CONGRATULATIONS TO THE TEAM.
>> OH, WOW. THAT'S AWESOME, THANK YOU.
>> BUT TO PLUG THE MOVIE I PLAY A GUY NAMED PETER AND I GET
DUMPED AND I RUN INTO A WOMAN NAMED EMMA PLAYED BY JENNY SLATE
WHO HAS ALSO BEEN BROKEN UP WITH AND WE REALIZE WE'RE IN THE SAME
PREDICAMENT AND WE DECIDE WHY DON'T WE USE EACH OTHERS'
TALENTS TO WIN BACK OUR EXES. SO SHE TRIES TO WOO MY
GIRLFRIEND'S NEW BOYFRIEND AWAY FROM HER AND I TRIED TO WORK OUT
WITH HER TRAINER EXBOYFRIEND WHICH LEADS TO THE COMEDY PART.
>> James: THERE'S A SCENE WHERE YOUR CHARACTER JUMPS OFF A
ROOF INTO A HOT TUB. NOW, IT'S ACTUALLY YOU.
>> PARTS OF IT. >> James: RIGHT.
ARE YOU A DAREDEVIL IN REAL LIFE?
IS THIS SOMETHING YOU WOULD -- >> YOU KNOW WHAT, I'M EASILY LED
BY MY PEERS. GROWING UP I JUMPED OFF ALL
SORTS OF CRAZY DANGEROUS THINGS. THERE'S A BRIDGE.
I GREW UP IN RHODE ISLAND SURROUNDED BY WATER AND THERE
WAS A BRIDGE WE JUMPED OFF OF. THE BRIDGE, THAT'S NOT THE
DANGEROUS PART. WHAT WAS HE CAN TICK IS YOU HAD
TO SWIM OFFSHORE AND HAD TO TRY NOT TO GET HIT BY A BOAT.
THE OTHER KIDS WERE DOING IT AND I WAS A SUCKER FOR PEER
PRESSURE. >> James: IT WAS GREAT
TRAINING AND THE FILM IS ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT.
