>>> Come on.
>> Look at you, beautiful.
>> Barbra and James.
Like a snack.
>> So cute.
>> On the carpet.
Y'all do it every time.
>> Dude.
>> We have the golden globes
coming up, was that you guys at
the globes?
>> I don't know.
We were somewhere.
The car always takes you
You get out, you kind of -- they
look-alike.
They do.
>> You get out of the car,
you're there.
>> Your love is so palpable.
>> Ah, you shouldn't have.
>> I love watching you together.
You look like you like each
other.
>> Yeah.
It's true, we know how to
negotiate, that's part of it.
>> Negotiations --
>> We sit down and if we can't
work it out, and we're pretty
good at that, we call somebody
else in, what do you think?
>> It's hard sometimes, but it
just goes poof afterwards.
I promise you it goes poof if
both of you listen.
>> Listening is the key part.
>> I think.
>> What was the last thing that
you two were like, I don't know
that we agree on this?
>> I don't think it matters what
the subject is, you just get a
wild hair going --
>> And you're off.
I don't think it matter ppz.
>> It's funny, because you --
you won your award and you
were -- 50 years ago, Marcus
Welby.
>> Right.
>> For the pilot.
You got the award --
>> Golden globe, 50 years ago.
>> I know Barbra was probably
looking at you the same way I
was looking at you.
When you were on the stage --
Barbra got the guy, though.
>> Oh, I see what she's saying.
>> Sherry was doing something
wrong, she was just looking at
him.
>> When you made your speech,
can you remember what you said?
>> I left.
>> What?
>> You mean for that?
>> Yeah, when you won.
>> I got up there and said.
My wife had said, what are you
doing?
I said, I'm writing the speech
because I'm nominated.
She said, there's no way in hell
you're going to win.
So I threw it out, and there's
some film, I think on YouTube,
you know, where I got a great
kiss, got up, went up to the
stage and went, I'm totally
unprepared, so I'm taking this,
thanking you and I'm outta here.
>> That was your speech?
>> World's shortest speech.
>> You might hold the record.
>> It was efficient.
I must say --
>> And from the heart.
You know, I dress good.
Nobody could judge what I said,
because I didn't say nothing.
>> You've gone on and you've
been in so many projects, and
you're directing.
>> Directing.
>> Yeah, I got financing for my
first theatrical.
>> What is it?
>> Yeah.
>> You can't talk about it?
>> We all know how tough that
is.
>> Heck yeah.
>> I've been working on this one
four years, it was given to me
several years ago for me to go.
And I kept going, I like the
idea, but it's not shootable.
I finally sat down and rewrote
it myself.
Everybody loves it now.
>> You said you can't say.
>> I can't say.
>> Just whisper it behind his
wig.
>> I think actors make very good
directors.
>> Yeah.
>> What is it about directing?
>> And if you go back, I would
say this 30 years ago, if you go
back to all the academy award
winning actors, most of them
were directors that were failed
actors.
I think you have to be in a
workshop to know -- first you
have to be visual, you have to
love still pictures and what
makes them.
And number two, you have to know
what makes an actor tick by
doing it yourself.
So chops are key.
>> You are -- have always
fascinated me, I feel like
you're one of the most
interesting men on the planet.
When I read this, I lost it, saw
Barbra recently posted on social
media, you were the inspiration
behind aerosmith's hit, I don't
want to miss a thing.
We all know that from armageddon
the movie, it was a huge hit.
>> I was in a real mushy mood
and we were on camera with
Barbara Walters, I kept
thinking, I'm -- what am I doing
here, you know you know what I
mean.
I got this question, I -- my
bottom -- feeling right now,
right here and now is, I don't
want to go to sleep because I'll
miss you.
>> Ahh.
>> And when I said it, I meant
And later I thought, oh, geez, I
guess they're going to kick me
out of my golf club next.
>> How did that become the
inspiration for the song in.
>> Diane Warren saw the thing
and she wrote the song.
>> Really?
>> Yeah.
>> It became a huge hit.
>> Thank you for that hit.
We sing it all the time.
>> It's incredible.
Before you go, I want to get
a -- some of your famous firsts.
I'm calling it famous firsts.
Your first audition you knew you
had it, what was the gig?
>> First one I knew I had it?
>> You nailed it, you knew you
were going to get the job.
>> I had been parking cars on la
cienega.
At Lowry's, they're still open.
I get this appointment, and
this -- they said we're hiring
contract actors.
I said, what does that pay?
It was called an sag beginner's
contract.
$135 a week.
I said, 135 goods a week?
I'll take it.
Yes sir, so, then, you know, I
went in there, and by -- that
was 10:00, at noon, I was
dubbing someone's voice in a
movie.
I was there for seven years, it
wasn't until I left there and
went over to universal, I shot
the Welby pilot.
And the rest is history.
>> Yeah.
>> The most interesting man on
the planet.
It's always so good to see you.
I'm for real about playing.
You and me.
>> We should practice a little.
You should know this.
>> That's not what you want to
hear from the pilot.
>> Maybe we'll take a --
>> No, I would never take you
unless I was sure you were safe,
how's that?
>> I'll take that.
>> Put that on my dating
profile.
>> It's always good to see
you -- up next, we have Wylie in
the building.
