-Thank you. -"Crazy Rich Asians."
Oh, my goodness. That movie went on to --
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Thank you.
-It was the biggest -- It just broke all these records.
Like, the biggest movie -- like, rom-com in a decade.
-Yeah, we tried to do something with it.
-Yeah. You -- You did.
You definitely did something with it.
Congrats. Is there going to be a sequel?
-I hope so. I'm signed on for two and three.
And I think they're just trying to get a good team
and a good script and make sure it's great for all the fans.
-Yeah, and you'll be in it. I'm very psyched.
I'm happy that you're here. I love --
[ Cheers and applause ] -Thank you.
-That's all I want to hear, that's it's in the works.
-Oh, for sure. -Good.
How does it feel to be back in New York?
-Awesome. -Yeah?
-I used to live here for a long time.
-Yeah, that's right.
What did you do when you were here?
Your first job, do you remember?
-I just waited tables, mostly.
I tried to audition for a lot of theater jobs,
but I waited tables. -Yeah.
-And, you know, I actually had a really great time.
-Did you ever meet any celebrities
when you wait tables? -Yeah, I met a lot.
My favorite was Bill Murray. -[ Gasps ]
Well, how was he? What -- where -- what happened?
Tell me the story. -Well, you know,
I went over to his table to tell him the specials,
and he looked right at me, he said,
"Hey, what's good here, handsome?"
[ Laughter ]
And, yeah. And then, um...
You know how there's, like, a pitcher of water, tap water...
-Sure. -...that you give to, like,
the people who ordered tap water?
He told me to take it around the restaurant
to anyone who had tap water and say, "This is from Bill."
[ Laughter ]
And then he had me feed his parking meter.
[ Laughter ]
-He's a great guy. -Oh, it was great.
And then he could stay an extra hour, you know?
Ran a few blocks in my waitressing uniform.
-That's hilarious. No, way.
Who else? Who else did you meet?
-Oh, I met Kenny G.
-How was that? -Wow.
You know, he and his wife have the same hairstyle.
[ Laughter ]
-Now, that's interesting. I did not know that.
-Which was really cool. -Wow.
-It's like a form of self-love. -Yeah.
It's like, the -- like, the perm?
-Yeah. -Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-And he kept -- So, you know, how his music is,
like, easy listening? -Yeah.
-He kept saying the word "easy."
[ Laughter ]
So, I was, like, "Oh, what would you like to drink?"
He would say, "I'm easy. Whatever you think is good."
[ Laughter ]
"What would you like to eat?"
"I'm easy. Whatever is good."
"I'll get you a steak. How would you like it cooked?"
"I'm easy." -Yeah.
And so, I was like, "All right, I guess --"
-This guy's legit. -Yeah.
-He really is easy. -Yeah. He lives it.
-He lives -- He lives the life --
The music he plays, he lives. -Yep. It's true.
-I want to talk about "Hustlers."
-Yes. -Okay, this is a big deal.
We love this. We love everybody in this.
-Thank you. [ Cheers and applause ]
-We love J-Lo.
We love everybody. And here's the cast right here.
Keke Palmer, Cardi B., J-Lo, you, Lili Reinhart.
Now, was it hard to audition and get this part?
Because I know you from "Fresh Off the Boat."
-Yeah. Well, you know, I usually play a suburban
mother of three in Orlando, Florida.
[ Laughter ] So, I thought it would --
might be hard for them to imagine me in the part
of this real-life person.
So, I -- I put myself on tape.
I made myself a homemade audition tape, and I sent it in.
-You did? -Yeah.
-And what did you do on the tape?
-Well, you know, it's on PornHub now, so...
[ Laughter ]
-I'll -- I'll make sure to check that out later.
-Really try to change my image. -Yeah.
[ Laughter ]
-You know that site? -No, I don't.
-Yeah, yeah. -It's blocked.
It's blocked on my computer. NBC doesn't let me.
[ Laughter ]
But, this story, "Hustlers," is based on a true story, right?
-Yes, and on a real woman. And one of the things
I love about "Hustlers" is it takes an occupation
that other people often make judgments about,
and it explores the real people behind it and their stories.
And actually, the woman who inspired my character
is here today somewhere. Rosie.
-Rosie? -Yeah, her name is Rosie Keo.
[ Cheers and applause ] Where is she?
-Hey, Rosie! Hi. -Where is she?
-Welcome! -She's the real hustler.
-So, did you get to hang out with Rosie
and learn some things? -I am about to.
[ Laughter ]
-Oh, my God. But, the --
I mean, I know you have -- Well, look at this cast.
But, I mean, Cardi B. was actually a stripper.
-Mm-hmm. -She's proud of that.
She's talked about that on our show.
Did she give you any -- any --
-Well, I have to do a scene where, like --
So, I'm, like, the new stripper in town, right?
So, they're trying to teach me, and I have to do a scene
where Cardi wants to see how I give a lap dance.
So, she's like, "All right, show me what you got."
And, then I do, and I don't got it.
[ Laughter ]
And, so she... -"I don't got it."
-...teaches me how to get it. -Okay, yeah, yeah.
She talks about it. -She knows how to get it.
-Oh, yeah, she does. -Oh, yeah.
-Oh, really. I mean, I don't know, but I'm assuming.
[ Laughter ]
-If you never got it... -My wife is gonna kill me.
It's, like, you don't go on PornHub.
I don't do any of that stuff.
[ Laughter ]
Uh...
I never -- Me and Cardi B. were just friends.
I mean, we're just totally... [ Laughter ]
But, I heard a rumor that J-Lo broke your nose on set.
Is that true?
-Are you saying that because my nose looks broken?
-No. Your nose looks beautiful.
-Oh, no. No, that was my --
There's a story blown way out of proportion.
-It's good to pretend, though. -Oh, it is good.
-Yeah. -If anyone's gonna break
your nose, I would hope it would be J-Lo.
-What was it? Was it a fight scene?
What was it? -Yeah, it was a scene
where we're, like, wrestling over a phone.
She's trying to grab this phone out of my hand.
And, you know, we had a great fight choreographer.
We had, like, a whole safety meeting and everything.
-Yeah. -And on the first take,
it was a total accident.
And if it had just been her hand, it would've been fine,
but the phone conked me right on the bridge of my nose.
And she felt so bad. She was, like, "I'm so sorry."
And I was, like, "Girl, we got it.
It's totally good. Don't worry about it."
And she was, like, "Oh, I'm so sorry."
And then she did it again.
[ Laughter ]
-This time -- This time, I'm gonna make it work.
[ Laughter ]
-"This time, it better break." -"I want blood on this one."
Yeah, absolutely. We're going all out.
-No, but we had a lot of fun, 'cause we were just
really getting into it, and, like...
-What a cast. -It was so fun to work her.
