BEAUTIFUL PLACE.
>> Stephen: YOU KNOW, LISTEN, I'M EXCITED ON ONE LEVEL THAT WE
REACHED A NEW GENERATION OF WAYNES, OKAY.
BUT ON ANOTHER LEVEL, I FIELD OLD THAT WE'VE REACHED DAMON
WAYANS JR. >> I KNOW, IT'S WEIRD.
>> Stephen: A COMEDIAN DAD MUST HAVE BEEN FUN BUT--
>> YOU WOULD THINK A COMEDIAN DAD WAS FUN, BUT THIS DUDE-- HE
WENT AND DID MAJOR PAIN AND CAME BACK AND STAYED IN CHARACTER.
( LAUGHTER )
SPANK US, Y, YOU KNOW.
BUT WE WERE BAD, THOUGH.
>> Stephen: YOU WERE A BAD CHILD?
>> NOT THAT BAD.
WE WERE RAM BUNKOUS.
AND I DON'T THINK HE SPANKED US BECAUSE WE WERE BAD.
I THINK HE SPANKED US BECAUSE HIS VOICE WASN'T DEEP ENOUGH TO
LISTEN THE FIRST TIME.
YOU KNOW WHEN YOU'RE A DAD, YOU HAVE TO GET DEEP --
>> Stephen: LISTEN TO ME!
>> NO!
HE DIDN'T HAVE THAT.
HIS VOICE WAS NASALLY, AND HE SAID, "I SAID, PICK UP YOUR
TOYS."
( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE )
>> Stephen: SO HE HAD TO SPANK YOU INSTEAD?
>> YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.
AND HE HAD TO BE QUIET WHEN HE SPANKED ME, TOO, BECAUSE THAT
WOULD RUIN IT IF WE STARTED LAUGHING.
"HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I..."
>> Stephen: HAVE YOU DONE THIS IMPRESSION FOR HIM.
>> NO, NOT YET.
( LAUGHTER )
>> Stephen: DID YOU-- DID YOU, SO YOU'RE-- YOUR FATHER'S A
COMEDIAN.
YOU HAVE A FAMILY FULL OF COMEDIANS.
DID YOU-- DID YOU SAY, "THIS IS WHAT I'M GOING TO DO.
IT'S A FAIT ACCOMPLI THAT I'M GOING TO BE A COMPLETE COMOOED
AN OR GO INTO SHOW BUSINESS?" >> NO, I ACTUALLY WANTED TO BE
AN ANIMATOR.
I USED TO DRAW ALL THE TIME, AND I WENT TO, LIKE, ART SCHOOL,
COLLEGE -- >> Stephen: THAT'S A LONG WAY
TO HOLD THAT DREAM.
>> AND THEN I FOUND OUT HOW MUCH THEY GOT PAID AND I WAS LIKE,
NEVER MIND.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING, DAD?" >> Stephen: WELL, YOU DID
STAND-UP, THOUGH, RIGHT?
>> YEAH, I DID STAND-UP.
THAT WAS MY FIRST THING.
I WROTE FIRST, AND THEN I STARTED DOING STAND-UP, AND THEN
I STARTED DOING ACTING.
>> Stephen: WAS THAT ENCOURAGED BY YOUR FAMILY.
>> Stephen: STAND-UP.
>> Stephen: YEAH.
>> HE WAS ENCOURAGED.
I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE A LOT EASIER THAN IT WOUND UP
BEING WHEN I FIRST DID IT.
>> Stephen: OH, NO, IT'S ABSOLUTELY HARROWING.
>> I WAS TERRIFIED.
>> Stephen: SURE.
>> YOUR FIRST TIME -- >> Stephen: I NEVER DID
STAND-UP.
I DID IMPROV.
THIS IS THE FIRST STAND-UP I'VE DONE OVER HERE.
BUT I ALWAYS ADMIRED THE STAND-UP COMMUNITY BECAUSE IT'S
TERRIFYING TO BE UP THERE BY YOURSELF.
IT'S JUST YOU AND YOUR JOKES WHOLE TIME.
>> I HAD A NICKNAME WHEN I FIRST STARTED GOING UP, WHICH WAS
BASICALLY JUST TO AVOID, LIKE, HAVING THE SAME NAME AS MY DAD.
>> Stephen: FOR THE COMPARISON.
SO YOU WEREN'T DAMON WAYANS JR. WHO WERE YOU?
>> KYLE GREEN.
( LAUGHTER )
>> Stephen: KYLE GREEN.
NOW WHY-- WHERE DID YOU GET KYLE GREEN?
THAT'S-- >> I JUSTICE DEPARTMENT WANTED,
LIKE AN UNASSUMING NAME.
>> Stephen: KYLE GREEN IS UNASSUMING.
>> I DID MY MIDDLE NAME, WHICH IS KYLE.
AND MY GRANDMA'S MAIDEN NAME WHICH IS GREEN, SO I JUST PUT
THOSE TWO TOGETHER.
>> Stephen: SO THAT'S YOUR-- IT'S LIKE YOUR PORN NAME BUT
IT'S YOUR COMIC NAME.
>> YEAH, YEAH.
>> Stephen: SO LET ME FIGURE OUT MINE.
YOUR MOM ON YOUR DAD'S MOM.
>> YOUR DAD'S MOM.
>> Stephen: I WOULD BE...
TYRONE TORMY.
>> WHAT!
( LAUGHTER )
THAT'S MY NAME, TYRONE TORMY.
>> THAT'S NICE.
>> Stephen: I THINK I LOOK MORE LIKE A KYLE GREEN THAN YOU
DO.
>> YEAH, YOU DO.
I LOOK MORE LIKE A TYRONE-- WHAT IS IT?
>> Stephen: TORMER.
IT'S AN IRISH NAME.
>> SOUNDS LIKE A BLACK DUDE.
>> Stephen: MAYBE IN A PAST LIFE.
I DON'T KNOW.
YOU'RE IN "HAPPY TOGETHER."
IT PREMIERED LAST NIGHT.
OBVIOUSLY, I KNOW ABOUT THE SHOW BECAUSE I WORK FOR CBS BUT FOR
THE PEOPLE WHO DON'T WORK FOR CBS TELL THEM WHAT IT IS ABOUT.
>> THE SHOW IS ABOUT THIS 30-SOMETHING MARRIED COUPLE
WHOSE LIVES GET TURNED UPSIDE DOWN WHEN AN INTERNATIONAL POP
STAR MOVES IN WITH THEM.
SUPER RELATABLE.
BUT--
>> Stephen: AND WHY DOES THE POP STAR MOVE IN WITH THEM?
>> HE MOVES IN WITH THEM BECAUSE HE IS, LIKE-- HE JUST GOT OVER A
BAD BREAKUP AND NEEDS A PLACE TO HIDE OUT FROM THE PAPARAZZI,
INITIALLY.
HE'S ATTRACTED TO THE NORMALITY OF OUR LIVES.
>> Stephen: BUT WHY YOUR LIFE?
WHY YOU?
>> BECAUSE I'M HIS ACCOUNTANT.
OH, YEAH, SORRY.
MY CHARACTER IS HIS ACCOUNTANT.
>> Stephen: I THOUGHT ME JUST BARGED IN YOUR DOOR ONE DAY.
IN WHICH CASE YOU SHOULD CALL THE POLICE AND IT'S THE ONLY
EPISODE.
WE HAVE A CLIP HERE WHERE IT'S YOU AND YOUR WIFE, RIGHT?
>> YES, WE ARE SPRING CLEANING, APPARENTLY.
>> WHAT IS THIS GIANT ALASTIC BAND FOR REALLY BIG ACCOUNTING
DOCUMENT.
>>S THIS MY ELASTER-BLASTER EXERCISE BAND.
ALLOW ME TO DEMONSTRATE.
I SIMPLY PUT THIS IN THE WEDGE OF THE DOOR, RIGHT, CLOSE SAID
DOOR, PUT IT AROUND SAID BODY, AND-- LOOK AT ALL THAT
RESISTANCE, HUH?
LOOK AT THAT.
BACK WHEN I PLAYED COLLEGE BALL THIS IS HOW I USED TO EXPLODE
THROUGH THE LANE.
I WOULD BE LIKE... AND HUH!
( LAUGHTER )
BEING HELD BACK IN A FIGHT.
YOU BE LIKE, WHAT?
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
NO, NO, NO!
LET ME TALK TO YOU, MAN!
I JUST WANT TO TALK TO YOU!
I'M GOING TO KILL HIM!
I'M GOING TO KILL HIM!"
>> Stephen: IS IT TRUE-- GREAT CLIP.
GREAT CLIP.
>> THAT WAS RIDICULOUS.
>> Stephen: IS IT TRUE HARRY STYLES IS THE EXECUTIVE PRODUCER
OF THIS?
>> YES, HE IS.
>> Stephen: WHAT IS HE LIKE AS A BOSS?
>> HE IS... HE'S GREAT.
>> Stephen: REALLY?
>> HE'S A REALLY BUSY GUY.
HE'S A BUSY GUY.
WE HAVE HIS CHAIR THERE.
HIS CHAIR IS THERE.
ONE DAY HE'LL SHOW GLUP THIS IS THE ONLY PROOF THAT HE'S THE
EXECUTIVE PRODUCER.
>> LIKE AN ABSENTEE FATHER.
WE HOPE ONE DAY HE'LL COME.
HE ACTUALLY CAME ONE DAY AND HE WAS REALLY NICE, REALLY
PLEASANT.
HE DIDN'T SIT IN THE CHAIR, THOUGH.
BUT WE SET IT OUT EVERY DAY IN HOPES.
>> Stephen: IT'S LIKE ELIJAH AT PASSOVER, HARRY STYLES.
GOOD TO SEE YOU.
