now uh listen to me uh if you added up the ages of our first guests they still wouldn't be as old as
i am they are the blockbuster young stars of a new film entitled jonas brothers the 3d concert
experience and it opens february 27th ladies and gentlemen here they are the jonas brothers
what's up boys hello sir how are you how you feeling
you're right good ready to go yeah yeah it's uh you don't know who i am do you
we did some broadway shows when we were younger so we you know okay every day
now bear with me here let's let's get the uh statistical data out uh you're how old are
you nick i'm 16. 16 years old and joe how old are you i'm 19. 19 kevin twenty-one so oh two
twenty-one so and and how long and you've been jonas brothers all your life right yeah right
basically the day my mom and dad met that's other than that shortly thereafter he became the first
brothers uh but but when did the show business uh organism coalesce when did you guys start is
what i'm trying to say well it actually started with me um the the funny story that everybody
you know it started started at a hair salon very kind of hard to believe yes my mom's getting her
hair done and uh i started singing someone heard me singing and said you should go see this manager
so i saw the manager and then they started sending me out on auditions for broadway shows i know how
old were you when you're i was i was six seven six or seven do you remember this going on at the time
i do because i would get paid every time i'd sing and and what songs were you singing at their salon
ah there there was a lot of hand songs yeah a lot of peter pan songs peter pan i was really
into that um so i went on the auditions and and got a christmas carol i did andy get your gun
beating the beast and les mis and so so you're a seasoned veteran of the broadway musical stage
it's been a while so i mean going back would be interesting but it was fun at the time
so so let's see if i have the chronology of this correct the the youngest
actually started first is absolutely and people think like oh youngest you know he's
actually like the leader most leader type we say he's gonna be uh the president in 2038 so
we're taking votes now if you just want to put your ballot in the back and then when did you guys
come together did you come to it on your own or together to get together with uh i guess we were
all kind of interested in our own thing i think me and him were primarily interested in acting
on broadway too actually i was like yeah in broadway theater actually next door what was
the show uh level win it was on broadway for about eight months yeah nice going um the whole all the
all the kids there's about 16 kids in the the cast so it was about almost five years ago now
and and we would look across and the only dress room we could see was paul schaefer's
wow so like now hold it now so so the whole cast was like there's this old man changing
this story i yeah i take exception that's a hell of a story and
and so and then kevin what about yourself um broadway shows didn't do any uh they didn't like
me enough no i don't know i did commercials and stuff but really just started playing guitar uh
that was kind of my thing and then we all wrote a song together nick was already signed to a record
label started doing his own project wrote a song together and jonas brothers were created now i
i have to believe that your mom and dad are uh musically my dad's an extremely new songwriter
so there was always music in the house and always a lot of stuff and he could help you write songs
he had instruments around and stuff like that it was amazing to grow up in such a musical home yeah
it really did help a lot and he's you know got so much insight on into the music business and
and it's it's been really great now there's a uh i'm told that you have a much older uh
brother who's not part of the the uh show and he's here tonight a younger brother and an older
and an older this is the older brother who's not part of his evening this is todd yes todd and
he's in the green room yeah he doesn't sing so he can't be in the band todd here where is todd
hi todd how are you how are you jonas brother it's todd johnson todd jonas yeah
todd let me uh let me ask you why aren't you part of the uh
what what do you do what what are your interests uh i work in a candle store okay he makes
yeah so then at some point you guys realize holy cow we can make more money if we get together
is that what happened we kicked todd out and then that's right yeah everything was great after that
it's a lot of fun i think for us we just felt really comfortable together we had that like
the different dynamic you know you know they say that like when brothers get together and sing it
just feels better sometimes or whatever it is and so we just felt really great about it and wrote
you know songs we liked and kept going and and what about uh family squabbles getting in the
way of the career has that happened yet well we had our fair share of up and downs um not
as brothers but i mean in our career you know we we started off on columbia records um and we're
here in new york recording and um part away was with columbia records and moved over to
hollywood records and that's that's our home now and they've been amazing to us but uh they're you
know that we remember the times when we were playing the small little venues and of course
there are little things here and there you're going to fight about his brothers but i mean
we usually would work it out and it would be all right let me just interject something you're 16
yes sir you've had no ups and downs it's all it's all been up you're 16.
you're fine
and you're all you're all married no you're not all married now we it was crazy because uh all
of the young girls and that's your daily life and for a 16 year old and you know when i was your age
i had a paper route yeah it's a lot like that yes it's very similar but but uh you know i had to uh
and i was always the creepy guy who would follow girls home from school but it's not that way
but it's not that way for you guys is it the the young kids
they just idolize you and they just want to come and look at you don't they
well there's like a there's a lot there's a lot of screaming involved right and sometimes
you don't know what to do because you think it's cloverfield coming at you around there
you're here and sometimes you want to calm them down it's like no it's okay we're right
we're right here but what what about uh what what about famous relationships uh like miley
cyrus was there somebody here involved with the miley cyrus we went on tour with miley yeah and uh
you got to be good friends again going back to you know the uh ups and downs i think that i was 14
14. so it's um you know i was pretty young so i think you could just consider it young little
your relationship right that's right and everybody has them of course i think they do i hope so and
then uh taylor swift am i is that ring a bell here no um yeah um you know we didn't work out
good work
yeah it's funny now but try saying that when you're 62.
