>> JAMES: THAT WAS A CLIP FROM
"PAM & TOMMY," WHICH PREMIERES TOMORROW ON HULU.
CONGRATULATIONS ON THE SHOW! TELL US WHO YOU PLAY AND WHAT
WAS IT THAT ATTRACTED YOU TO THIS PROJECT?
>> THEY SAID WE'RE GOING TO MAKE YOU GORGEOUS.
AND I SAID, I'M LISTENING. ( LAUGHTER )
THE PEOPLE INVOLVED, THE WRITERS, ROB SIEGEL, CRAIG
GILLESPIE, LAKE BELL, THE DIRECTORS, THE CAST IS
INCREDIBLE. THAT WAS THE BAIT, THAT'S WHAT
GOT ME TO BITE AT THE HOOK, BUT THEN THE STORY IS GOING TO BLOW
YOUR MIND BECAUSE IT'S RIGHT WHEN THE INTERNET WAS COMING
INTO PEOPLE'S HOMES, WHICH IS A HUGE STORY POINT, AND THAT'S WHY
WE DON'T KNOW THE DETAILS OF THIS CRAZY, SALACIOUS, LIKE,
CELEBRITY CRIME STORY. THE AUDIENCE IS GOING TO BE,
LIKE, WHAT? HOW DO WE NOT KNOW THE TRUE
STORY OF THIS? AND THEN IT BECOMES REALLY A
FASCINATING SORT OF SOCIAL COMMENT ON THE WAY WE AS A
SOCIETY TREAT PEOPLE LIKE PAM ANDERSON WHO WAS VERY VICTIMIZED
BY THE WHOLE STORY. >> James: ABSOLUTELY.
SO IT'S GOT SOMETHING FOR EVERYBODY.
>> James: IS IT TRUE THAT PAMELA ANDERSON IN BAY WATCH
WERE INVOLVED IN YOUR DECISION TO MOVE TO LOS ANGELES.
>> IN A GREEK THEATRICAL WAY. I MEAN, I BOUGHT A SUBARU WAGON
FOR $750, AND I HUNG A BAY WATCH AIR FRESHENER ON THE REAR VIEW
REARVIEWMIRROR AND I TOLD EVERYN CHICAGO I'M HEADING STRAIGHT FOR
THIS LADY IN THE RED SWIMMING SUIT.
SO I DROVE THIS THING TO L .A. THE SUBARU DIED, BUT I DID
EVENTUALLY GET AN AUDITION FOR BAY WATCH IN THE MID TO LATE
'90s. DIDN'T GET THE PART.
IT WAS FOR -- IT'S REALLY A HILLBILLY ROLE.
BAY WATCH HAD KIND OF GONE OFF THE RAILS.
THERE'S SOME SORT OF BAY WATCH NIGHTS.
>> James: THEY BASICALLY RAN OUT OF STORIES ON THE BEACH.
>> YEAH, SO IT DIDN'T WORK OUT AND I ALWAYS LOST THAT THREAD,
BUT NOW I'M REALIZING JUST HERE THAT, TONIGHT, I'VE FINALLY
ARRIVED AT MY AIR FRESHENER. IT WAS "PAM & TOMMY."
>> James: YOU'VE ABSOLUTELY DONE IT!
>> 26 YEARS LATER. >> James: YOU'VE DONE IT.
DON'T GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS, KIDS!
>> James: SPEAKING OF TOMMY, YOU WERE IN A BAND, JOHNNY, AS A
TEENAGER. WHAT SORT OF MUSIC ARE WE
TALKING ABOUT? >> OH, HOW DARE YOU!
MY BUDDY BRIAN REEVES AND I WENT OUT TO THE MALL AND THEY HAD
THIS THING CALLED SOUND TRACKS IN THE MALL WHERE YOU COULD
RECORD A SONG AND WE RECORDED A SONG UNDER THE NAME OF THE TRASH
DOGS, WHICH SOUNDS LIKE A PUNK BAND, LIKE, WE'RE DEFINITELY
GOING TO SING THE CULT, RIGHT? NO, NO, WE COVERED WHAM.
>> James: OH, SENSATIONAL. WELL, NOT SO SENSATIONAL.
( LAUGHTER ) >> James: WHAT DID YOU DO IN
THE BAND? >> WELL, I THINK GEORGE MICHAEL
AND HE WAS ANDREW ORIGINALLY. >> James: OKAY.
WELL, WE ACTUALLY TRACKED DOWN SOME AUDIO --
>> OH... >> James: THIS IS AUDIO OF THE
VOCAL STYLINGS OF A JUNG JOHN KNOXVILLE.
HAVE A LISTEN. ♪♪

♪ WON'T YOU TELL ME ♪ ♪ I WORK SO HARD FOR YOU ♪
♪ TO GET YOUR MONEY ♪ >> James: OH, COME ON,
SENSATIONAL! REGGIE!
DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION FOR OUR GUESTS THIS EVENING?
>> Reggie: I FEEL IT'S BEEN ANSWERED ALREADY BUT I'LL COME
UP WITH ANOTHER ONE. TONIGHT'S QUESTION GOES TO --
( DRUM ROLL ) LET'S MAKE IT FOR BOTH OUR
GUESTS THIS EVENING. AS TALL AS BUILDINGS HAVE GOTTEN
IN THE LAST COUPLE OF DECADES, DO YOU THINK THAT, IF YOU WERE
IN THE PRESENCE OF ONE OF THE TALLEST BUILDINGS IN THE WORLD
BUT YOU WERE ASKED IF YOU COULD TELEPORT TO ANOTHER TIME LINE
WHERE THERE WAS A TALLER BUILDING, WOULD YOU BE SATISFIED
WITH THE BUILDING THAT YOU'RE IN FRONT OF OR WOULD YOU WANT TO
TRAVEL TO THAT OTHER PLACE TO SEE AN EVEN TALLER BUILDING?
>> WELL, YOU KNOW, THAT'S AN EXCELLENT QUESTION.
I'M GLAD YOU ASKED IT, AND I'VE OFTEN SAD I DON'T WANT TO SPEND
MY LIFE WALKING IN THE SHADOWS OF TALL BUILDINGS BUT I THINK I
WOULD STAY IN FRONT OF THE BUILDING I WAS AT.
>> I ALSO WOULD ENJOY THE BIRD IN THE HAND RATHER THAN THE TALL
BUILDING IN THE BUSH. I BELIEVE IT WAS A TRASH DOG
SONG. >> Reggie: THAT'S SURPRISINGLY
CORRECT. >> James: IT'S ABSOLUTELY
CORRECT! LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, JOHN
KNOXVILLE, NICK OFFERMAN. WE HAVE MUSIC FROM TOLIVER WHEN
WE COME BACK! DODON'
