-Thank you for coming back and visiting us.
-Thanks for having me. -Come on, pal.
-I just ran downstairs from rehearsals.
Have you ever heard of "SNL"?
-No, I've never heard of "Saturday Night Live."
-Interesting. -What's it like?
-This is your fourth time hosting.
-Yeah. It's nuts. -Are you nervous?
-No, I'm not nervous.
It honestly is my favorite thing in the entire world.
Like, the first time I hosted, I was 21,
which is really crazy to think about now.
-'Cause now you're 23. -'Cause now I'm 23.
[ Laughter ] And a half.
-And a half, of course. -And, but --
I remember when they called me
to say that I was getting to host,
I had like a complete meltdown, crying on the floor.
And people thought that something
had gone horribly wrong, and I was like,
"This is the biggest dream of my life."
-Yeah, yeah. Well, it was, though.
Didn't you do, like, a whole PowerPoint presentation
of why you should do it.
-Yeah, but it wasn't about "SNL."
-What was it for? -When I moved to be an actor.
-Yes, I love that story. -The PowerPoint.
You're probably so tired of telling it, but I love it.
-Oh, Jimmy. Stop asking about it.
[ Laughter ] The PowerPoint.
-"Stop asking about me and talk and talk and talk."
-Oh, Jimmy, don't have me on your show and ask me questions.
[ Laughter ] -Why would you do that?
-Why would you do that, Jimmy?
-But how was read-though? Everything's good?
-So fun. It's so great.
It truly is just, like -- -The cast is great.
-For some reason, it's like the only place I don't get nervous,
because I'm like, "Anything could happen.
I could throw up or I could pass out or whatever,"
and I would still be like, "It's 'SNL'!"
Like, it's fine. -Yeah.
-It's fine. I love it. -And BTS.
-I know. -Do you have any idea?
-B-T-dubs -- BTS is there.
-Yes, B-T-dubs, yeah.
People have been camping out for your show the whole week.
There are people on the sidewalks.
-I know. -It's a hot show, man.
-There are people sleeping out there,
and I was like, "You guys, that's so sweet.
You can just come see the show."
They were like, "It's for BTS." -No, no, no.
-No, truly, it is. They just did --
I just saw their sound check today,
and I involuntarily screamed. -Right?
[ Laughter ] -I'm actually not kidding.
It came out of my body. It was like, "Aah!"
It was like a chemical reaction happened.
-Dude, it's -- -They're incredible.
-Yeah, they're giant. Since you were last here,
you got nominated for another Academy Award.
Congratulations on that. -Oh, thanks, Jimmy.
[ Cheers and applause ] -That's a big deal.
I mean, I know everyone says, like,
"Oh, awards don't mean anything,"
but it's pretty exciting. -It was pretty exciting.
And Olivia Coleman, who played the Queen in "The Favourite"
won, and it was such an unbelievable moment.
And Yorgos, the director, who's, like, very stoic and calm,
was crying, and we all were just losing our minds.
She's the greatest.
-She's fun? -She's so fun.
Has she never been on the show? -No.
-Oh, you gotta have her on this show.
-Oh, really? -Oh, yeah.
-She's that fun? -Oh, yeah.
-Oh, really? -Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
-Like, how fun? -Like pretty friggin' fun.
[ Laughter ]
We went out for karaoke that night after --
-Are you a karaoke person?
-I didn't used to be a karaoke person.
I used to hate karaoke and want nothing to do with it.
And now all of a sudden, I've become the person
that's suggesting we go to karaoke.
-Oh, really? -Yeah.
-I love that! -Things have changed.
Things have really changed. -Do you have a go-to song?
-I have a song that I'm going to attempt
this Saturday night after the after party
at an impromptu karaoke party that I would like to throw.
-Oh, really? -Yes. As I said, I am now...
-The Queen of -- -...planning the karaoke events.
I want to sing "She's So High," by Tal Bachman.
Do you remember that song? [ Cheers ]
-Is it... ♪ She's so high ♪
-Yeah. -♪ Above me, she love me ♪
-But even if I were to attempt it right now...
-You couldn't do it. -It's like "She's so..."
[ Voice straining, screeching ] [ Laughter ]
Because my voice is my Achilles heel,
and on a week like this, it's, like, completely gone
by the end of the week. So, I -- we'll see how it goes.
I'm gonna try a full belt.
-One of my first dates with my now wife
but with her brother, and I introduced her brother
and his wife who went to karaoke.
And I will never forget this.
We had, like, a private room, and I was so excited about that.
And it's a glass table, and we had beers on there
and shot glasses and all that stuff.
I was doing -- I think I was doing
Barry Manilow, "Weekend in New England."
-Ooh. That's good. -Is that the one?
♪ When will I hold you, When will ♪
And when I did "When will," I stood up to make a big thing.
-Oh, no. -Flipped the glass table.
[ Laughter ] Glass everywhere.
Shatters. Beers, everything, sake, all over the place.
-Oh, God. -All I heard was
my sister-in-Law say, "Is anyone bleeding?"
[ Laughter ]
That's never a good -- That's not a good sign.
-"Is anyone bleeding?" -"Is anyone bleeding?" yeah.
-And then she was like, "Will you marry me?"
-Yeah, yeah. She's so lucky, yeah.
Do you know -- remember the first time we met?
I'm gonna say it was almost 10 years ago, pal.
You were doing -- -Was it really?
-It was for "Zombieland." -Oh, my God, yeah.
-Isn't that wild? -No, they told me backstage
that was the first time that I came, today.
-10 years ago, pal. -Wow!
-And now you're doing a sequel, right?
You just finished?
-We just finished a sequel like two weeks ago.
-How exciting is that? And everyone's on board?
-Everyone's on board. Same director, Ruben Fleischer.
Everyone came back. -Was it weird?
-It was not weird at all, because it was --
We all stayed friends this whole time, so it was like,
we've hung out with each other in the interim,
but we were all in it again.
We're 10 years older, and you could feel it.
[ Laughter ]
You could kind of could, because when I was there last time,
I was 20, and it was like, you could kind of
sneak into places and be like, "I'm with the older people,
I'm 20, but I'm 21 for all intents and purposes."
-Yeah, of course, yeah, yeah.
-At 30, just doesn't fly the same way.
I was like, "And I'm going to bed.
Good night, you guys." [ Laughter ]
-But Jesse Eisenberg and Woody Harrelson?
-Oh, yeah, and Abigail Breslin. Yeah, it was so much fun.
We played a lot of games. -Yeah.
-Lot of ping-pong, a lot of pool, board games.
-Tell me about this. This is pretty cool.
-Oh, yeah.
-You're in Paul McCartney's new video, "Who Cares."
-Yes. -Which I love that song.
And how cool is Paul McCartney? Come on.
Look at this. -He is a very special person.
-How did you end up doing this?
-Well, my friend Brantley is a director,
and he had an idea for this video,
and he has -- he's also a rock photographer,
and he'd, like, been on tour with Paul before.
And so he said, "Hey, Paul, do you think that Em and I
and Ryan Heffington, who's an amazing choreographer,
could do this video with you?
And he was like, "Yeah, I guess. Yeah, I got two days free.
Sure, yeah, yeah."
-Wow, that was a great impression of Paul McCartney.
-Thank you. I know. [ Laughter ]
-If I close my eyes, it was like he's standing right here.
-"Is that a Beatle in here?" -It's kind of a Beatle.
But it was really, really, cool.
Like, it was amazing makeup, and we got to dance together.
We got to do a scene together.
-It's such a good message, too, that song.
-It was pretty awesome. Yeah, exactly.
-Anti-bullying. -Who cares what the idiots say?
-That's what he says. I love it.
It's a great song. It's a great video.
Are you friends now with Paul McCartney?
-We're best friends. -Wow!
-Just in the sense of like we're each other's everything.
[ Laughter ] But other than that, like, no.
We talk every once in a while.
We're each other's everything.
We complete each other's sandwiches.
[ Laughter ] But --
[ Both laugh ] -I love it.
-I'm really glad you guys laughed at that, like full on.
-Yeah, that was good. [ Laughter ]
[ Cheers and applause ] You did it.
They got it, and you did it.
