-Thank you for coming. -Does this feel good or what?
-That's what I'm talking about.
This is... [ Cheers and applause ]
I missed it. But thank you.
You were nice enough to do our show
when I was doing it from my home.
-Which was fun.
This is more fun. -Yeah.
-Or funnest. -Yeah, it is.
This is the funnest.
-I like nothing more than a callback.
-Hey, I heard a rumor about you.
You may be filming a movie.
-Yes. I'm filming a movie.
-You are, but are you doing --
-Well, I'll tell you.
Maybe you can guess what I'm filming.
It starts with an "F." -Yes.
-And it rhymes with "fletch." -[ Laughs ]
-You are doing "Fletch?" -We're remaking "Fletch," yes.
We're rebooting Fletch up in Boston.
We start Monday and we're very excited.
Greg Mottola is directing.
Myself, John Slattery... -Holy moly.
-A cast of others will be in it. -That's major!
-Very exciting. Very exciting. -That's genius!
-Yes. Very, very exciting.
It's very exciting.
We all loved the movie growing up.
It's an '80s staple, and we're gonna sort of reboot it
and update it for the 2000s.
-You're perfect. -Well, thank you.
-I was going to talk about "Top Gun: Maverick," of course.
-Oh, we can talk about that, too.
-Yeah. I mean...
I'm so excited. You've got some big movies right now.
But "Top Gun: Maverick."
-Well, I think I'm just gonna go through the '80s
and try to be in all of either the sequels or the reboots
of all of those. -That's smart.
-Keep your eyes out for "Labyrinth."
-Wow, that'll be fantastic.
Did you bond with Tom Cruise? -T.C.? Yes, I did.
-T.C. Wow. They call him T.C.?
-Yeah, well, you know. -Wow.
-Once you know him, he's kind of...
No, I had actually met Tom a long time before.
I was a friend's -- Jimmy Kimmel's house.
Another Jimmy. -He has fun parties.
-He has fun parties, and he was having a football-watching party
of a Sunday, as you do.
And the rumor got around,
"Somebody said Tom Cruise was coming today."
And everyone was like, "No, he's not."
It's like, it's a football party.
We're all watching football.
It's like, a bunch of idiots eating pizza and drinking beer.
Tom Cruise is not coming to this football party.
Cut to three minutes later, Tom Cruise walks in
with his mom.
-What?
-Mom Cruise. -Mom Cruise. Oh, my gosh!
I didn't even think of that. Dude, that's genius.
Did you start that? Mom Cruise is the best.
-And then cut to the reverse of this, like,
40 dudes just with their jaws on the ground like,
"Is this actually happening?"
So I did bring that up when I --
He said, "Yeah, that was a fun party, man.
We had a great time. Me and my mom, that was awesome."
-I was like, "You remembered that. Okay, well."
It was clearly more important to me than you, but...
-How was Mom Cruise?
-Excellent. She can hang. -And just cool, right?
-Yeah. She can hang.
-I love that. That's fantastic.
-It was a fun, fun time,
and Tom is the most giving, wonderful guy.
He's the first guy and the last guy out.
He's the hardest-working guy on the set.
He's always in a good mood.
He's got all the heavy lifting to do,
including, like, flying planes at Mach-whatever.
And, you know, it's inspirational.
I'll tell you that much.
-Let's talk about "No Sudden Move."
-Let's do.
-This is a heist movie. -Yes.
-I don't want to give too much away,
but that's the thing now, with the...
-I didn't do it.
[ Audience laughs ]
-You can't say that.
-Well, no, there's a lot of other people in the movie.
-That's not even in question. -Wasn't me.
-Shaggy's in the movie.
-The rapper or the cartoon character?
-[ Laughing ] Both.
-[ As Shaggy ] Oh, no, Scoob!
We're in a heist movie directed by Steven Soderbergh!
[ As Scooby-Doo ] Rokey-doke!
-Dude, Steven Soderbergh. Come on.
-Cartoon character is the obvious answer.
-This is great, when you do impressions.
But what's it like getting directed by Steven Soderbergh?
-Well, first of all, we shot this movie in October,
so it was in the middle of the pandemic.
We shot it in Detroit. The movie takes place in the '50s.
So it's a period film that has a lot of moving parts,
a lot of cars, a lot of costumes,
a lot of hair and makeup.
Everything that you wouldn't want to do
in the middle of a pandemic,
and Steven Soderbergh was like a conductor.
He just, nothing fazed him.
He had this very, very complicated story
with all these moving parts.
We would finish in 6-hour days.
Nobody got sick. We stayed in a bubble.
Everybody stayed in the same hotel.
That was very fun, so we all got to kind of hang out.
It was a lovely, lovely experience,
and we made a really wonderful movie with an amazing cast.
-Benicio del Toro. -Benicio del Toro,
Don Cheadle, Ray Liotta. -Don Cheadle!
-Myself and people like me.
-David Harbour. Yeah. Exactly.
-Harbour. -David Harbour.
I want to show a clip here.
It is Jon Hamm and David Harbour in "No Sudden Move."
Take a look at this.
-Mr. Wertz.
Detective Joe Finney.
Michigan State Attorney General's office.
Organized crime task force.
-Organized crime?
-Yeah. Uh...
Detroit police got two phone calls.
One from a friend, Mrs. Atkinson,
said she was concerned,
and then another from a neighbor said they heard loud noises.
-Organized crime, like the mob?
-Well, I guess that's the $6,400 question, isn't it?

-Woo! -See?
-Woo! -Subtle!
-Yes, I love that! Jon Hamm, everybody!
-Subtle!
