-I got to say, I like this look.
-You do, Jimmy? -I absolutely like it.
-Give me your cheek
and I'll give you a tickly little kiss with my 'tash.
[ Light laughter ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
It's a whole new weapon.
-[ Laughs ] -It's a whole new weapon.
-Hey, have you ever had a hot sax?
[ Light laughter ]
-I think I -- Oh!
[ Saxophone playing ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
♪♪
[ Cheers and applause ]
-I was just asking.
-That was a hot sax. -That was some hot sax.
[ Light laughter ]
-I should've warmed up before I did that. Sorry.
-I haven't seen you since "Avengers: Infinity War."
Congratulations. -Thank you.
-That was the biggest movie of all time.
It was like $2 billion.
-It's crazy. -Giant.
-It was a giant, giant thing.
Yeah, some people went and saw it.
-They did.
-Yeah, but then if you haven't,
you can get the DVD or video on demand.
It's fine. Don't feel like you're missing out.
-You're not missing out.
-There's time. There's always time.
-What's it even like to be -- -It's amazing.
It's ludicrous.
It just gets sort of giddy and unreal, to be honest.
-Are there little things where you're like,
"That means a lot to me."
The weirdest thing, this one --
Like, if you see a poster somewhere on a subway
or on a billboard.
-Yeah, that's a kick.
I mean, just being part of that franchise is a kick,
let alone the people I got to have screen time with
and the story that I was sort of part of.
I mean, it was really extraordinary to do
and even more weird and wonderful to see it roll out
and get that kind of reception is extraordinary.
-This is a silly question, but will you be in "Avengers 4"?
-I'm dust, baby.
I'm just -- You know, I'm out there.
I'm in the ether. You probably --
I'm probably part of your food chain.
I'm in your stomach somewhere.
[ Light laughter ]
I floated off fighting and -- -Is that the slogan?
That's the slogan for the new movie?
"I'm in your stomach somewhere." -I'm in your stomach somewhere.
[ Laughter ]
-I think it's great. I think it will catch on.
-I think "Alien" has already done that somewhat.
-But the way these things work, the Marvels, they're brilliant.
I mean, there's a way you can -- Dr. Strange can come back.
-[ Moans ]
[ Both babbling ]
-I saw you on -- I saw there's backpacks of you.
'Cause I have two little girls. -There are?
-There are backpacks with your face on it.
-I'm really glad about this.
Because every time I see a school kid
with a lunch box or backpack,
I'm going, "Where is Dr. Strange?"
You know, it's like the Hulk and Spidey and Thor.
-Please, the Hulk. Give me a break.
-Enough. Enough of the green guy.
-Yeah, what does he do? He's just big and green.
Dr. Strange has, like, a cape -- -Yeah!
-And his collar's up. And he wears jewelry and stuff.
-Red and blue. And it flows around.
And it looks kind of cool.
-And he's in my stomach and he's just --
-It's in your stomach. -It's in my stomach somewhere.
He's in the ether.
-It's going to be something to do with eating.
I did see -- Well, yeah, there's a Ziploc bag somebody showed me.
You get a picture of this? -I had to get a picture of it
because I couldn't believe that they --
You're on a Ziploc bag. -I am on a Ziploc bag.
-This is magical. You are on a Ziploc bag.
-Look, here.
It's good, but if you not--
Here it literally looks like I'm shooting fire out of my ass.
[ Laughter ]
-No spoilers. No spoilers for "Avengers."
-Oh, yeah. Sorry, yeah.
-No spoilers.
-Maybe that's why I'm dust. -Yeah.
-It's like a food hygiene warning.
It's like, you know, Ziploc your food.
Otherwise, this could happen to you.
[ Light laughter ]
-Let's talk about "The Grinch."
Now, this is another giant movie.
I mean, you -- This is a big deal.
You've been working on this for years now.
-For two years almost. Yeah.
This is the company behind "Sing."
-Illumination. Yeah, yeah.
"Sing." "Secret Life of Pets."
-"Secret life of Pets." "Minions."
-Yeah.
-Brilliant. -They're brilliant. Brilliant.
-It is the most beautiful animation.
Where they've -- The level they've come to.
-It's extraordinary.
And because it's over a two-year period that they're making it,
they're basically learning new tech,
which develops so fast.
In that time period, you know,
it's like we've gone through five iPhones.
You know, it's incredible.
So, with their craft, they're just --
They've got these new toys. They don't only master them.
You're going to get the best,
most beautiful animated film to date because of that.
-I watched it with the kids, and it was just gorgeous.
It's very -- you know, obviously snow and everything
'cause it's "The Grinch."
Doing computer-animated snow is very tricky.
-Yeah. -It's so real-looking.
-You've tried it? -Yeah.
-It's really hard.
It's tough. -I have an iPhone 13.
-When is this going to end?
-I'm, like, the beta. -Oh, you're still working.
-Yeah, yeah, so I'm trying to figure out the technology
to make movies for you.
-Oh, thank you. -You're welcome, you're welcome.
-I appreciate your analog ethic. It's good.
-I like to do everything. I dip my toe, as they say.
-Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.
-But at nighttime, when the lights are glowing,
the holiday --
They're singing, "da-who-da."
And I go, "This is beautiful."
-It is. -It's exactly what I would do.
-Kind of want to be there for a bit.
For a bit. I mean, I'm kind of English.
I kind of have that thing of going --
They're very high on Christmas in Whoville.
I think they knew there was a slight inner Grinch with me
as far as Christmas goes.
If you work in retail, if you are continually
surrounded by the Christmas spirit...
-You hate Christmas.
-...you hate the Christmas spirit.
-That is so true. -You know?
You know, my heart goes out to anyone,
you know, doing that thing.
-I've worked in retail. -I've done it, too, yeah.
-The holidays come around, you go, "Get this over with."
-Yeah, yeah.
-But it's a whole new, younger spin on this.
Pharrell Williams -- we love -- narrates the movie.
And Tyler, the Creator does some of the music.
Dude, it's -- -Pretty cool.
It's pretty cool. -It's fantastic.
It's great. -Yeah.
You're making an Englishman feel very cool with that.
It's great. It's great.
-I want to show everyone a clip.
Here's Benedict Cumberbatch as the Grinch.
Take a look at this.
-Beautiful, isn't it, Max?
This, my little friend, is the rein-horn.
It perfectly re-creates the mating call of the reindeer.
Behold.
[ Horn sounds ]
[ Goat bleating ]
Oh, hey, there. Sorry, little goat.
I was calling for a rein-- Aah! [ Goat screams ]
-What was that? Scram! Skedaddle!
Strange goat.
-Benedict Cumberbatch, everybody.
Go see "The Grinch."
