-Mike Myers, welcome back. We love having you on the show.
-Thank you.
-Thanks for being here. -Lovely to be here.
-We have a lot of things we have to get into
and talk about. -Sure.
-But backstage, you just told me something very interesting.
I know you were a big fan of the queen.
-I was, in fact, yes. -Yeah.
-I am Canadian, you see. -Yes.
Can you tell everyone what you told me --
you went to Buckingham Palace?
-I went to Buckingham Palace with Steve Higgins.
That's right.
Not recently, but a couple of years ago,
and a friend of mine arranged for Steve and I to
watch the changing of the guard
from inside Buckingham Palace's gates.
-Wow.
-We went through a rigorous security, background check
and all this stuff.
Being of English -- My parents are from Liverpool, England,
so it's like, a huge, huge deal.
-Of course. -And we got let in.
And then the band come out, and they're playing
that, you know -- ♪ Ba-da-da-da-da ♪
You know, all that --
[ Imitates fanfare ]
And I'm like, "Oh, this is so amazing."
And then they break into the "Austin Powers" theme.
[ Laughing ]
-And they started playing "Soul Bossa Nova."
And it's like -- [ Sings "Soul Bossa Nova" ]
[ Band plays "Soul Bossa Nova" ] There you go!
[ Applause ]
[ Singing along ] You know?
-I mean -- -And I just --
I couldn't believe it.
One of the guards walked by holding a flag,
and they're not supposed to talk.
He goes, "Oh, I bet you've heard this song before, Mr. Myers."
And I'm like, "Don't talk to me!"
-"You're not allowed to talk!" -"Don't talk!"
"I'm Canadian, I'm gonna get in trouble!"
-How cool is that? That's amazing.
-Yeah. -Speaking of Austin Powers,
though, we've talked about it on the show a bunch of times.
Would you ever do another Austin Powers?
Would you ever do anther "Wayne's World"?
These are rumors that I'm starting.
[ Applause ]
We don't have an applause sign!
They're doing that because they love this!
-Aww.
-Would you do another Austin Powers?
Do you have something to announce?
-No, I don't have anything to announce.
I -- I can neither confirm nor deny the existence
or non-existence of such a project.
-Yeah. -Um, yeah.
I would love to do it. Of course. It's fun.
-Yeah.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-What do you need?
How do we make this happen?
What would it be -- How can I --
What can we do?
A Dr. Evil spin-off?
-I just, you know, I have three kids under the age of 11.
I've been super, super busy being a dad.
-I know, but come on!
We want more! We want more from you, Mike Myers!
-Alright. -We need ya!
-I'll see what I can do, Jimmy Fallon.
-Thank you very much. -Very good.
-I want to hear about "Amsterdam."
-Sure.
-We had Robert de Niro on the show, but what a cast.
Margot Robbie, Christian Bale.
-No, it was like doing a movie at Madame Tussaud's.
-[ Laughs ]
-I was so intimidated. -Yeah.
-Chris Rock and I were just watching the rest of the cast,
and we were like, "Oh, my God.
Actors are awesome, aren't they?"
-No, please. -They're just --
It was just absolutely intimidating.
-How's David O'Russell? -David O'Russell's a genius.
-He's one of the best directors. -Oh, my God.
He's an American auteur.
It was one of the most creative, fantastic experiences.
I was super sad when it was over.
And it was just, everybody pulled together.
It was an unbelievable --
-Did you talk much with De Niro?
-I did, but I was too intimidated, you know?
Because it's sort of like being in a scene
with the Eiffel Tower, you know?
It's like, "Oh, my God.
Those are the molecules that make up Robert de Niro."
-Yeah, he's the real deal. -Holy crap.
And he was super lovely.
He's very introverted and very, very nice,
and I just -- I didn't want to take up any of his time.
So he'd be like, "Do you live in New York?"
And I'd be like, "Yeah, I live in New York.
I love it. Great."
We'd just sort of like --
Don't talk to him. Don't take up any more of his time.
"Aren't you from Toronto?" "I'm from Toronto.
I live in New York. I love New York." Done.
[ Laughter ]
-He's like, "Mike Myers is weird."
-"This guys' bizarre."
And I developed this laugh, too, so he'd be like,
"On night shoots, do you drink coffee?"
I'd go -- [Laughing], "Yeah, I do."
[ Laughter ]
I don't have that laugh!
I've never had that laugh.
You kept doing it? -Oh, my God.
[Laughing] "Yeah, you know. It's great."
-"You like coffee?" [Giggling]
[Laughing throughout] "Yeah, I love coffee, who doesn't?"
-[Laughing] "Milk, sometimes, cream in the coffee, sugar."
-"Yeah, sometimes sugar." [Laughing]
-You're like, "What am I doing?" -What an idiot.
-Do you stay in character when you're in that character?
-I've always done.
I've always stayed in character,
and now it's just superstition, at this point.
And I thought, "is this weird?"
And then Christian Bale also stays in character all day.
And because of the improvisational nature
of the movie, I was never sure when the day was done
and I could talk in my normal accent again.
Neither did Christian Bale, so I ran into him
in front of his trailer, and he's English, right?
He's from Wales, but he has an English accent,
but he's playing an American.
And I'm North American, playing an English person,
and so he's sort of like,
[In character accent] "Where ya from, mate?"
[In character accent] "Well, actually, I'm from Toronto."
[ Laughter ]
And I thought, "Am I...?"
-What a brain workout!
-I'm like, "I'm not gonna break. I'm not gonna break.
I'm committed."
-That's really fun.
-[As Christian Bale] "No, I'm from a small town in Wales."
And I'm like, "Well, see, I'm from the suburbs of Toronto.
[ Laughter ]
Terribly English.
-Hockey. -I love hockey and maple syrup,
mountains and all that."
-Can we tell everyone what "Amsterdam" is about?
It's a comedic thriller.
-It is.
"Amsterdam" is about three friends --
It takes place in the '30s.
It's a beautiful, beautifully made movie.
I'm so thrilled to be part of it.
It's about friendship,
and it basically asks the question about,
"What is your Amsterdam?
What is your favorite time in your life?"
And we see their favorite time
set against an unbelievably and historically accurate,
fascinating intrigue.
-I like "What is your Amsterdam?"
That's pretty great. -Yeah.
-That sums it all up. It's perfect.
I want to show everyone a clip. -Yes, please.
-Mike Myers in "Amsterdam." Take a look.

-Not too bad. -As you can see,
I've got the same injury as you, or perhaps you can't see,
due to the fine craftsmanship of Canterbury Glass.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Who else can do that? Who else can do that?
Mike Myers, everybody!
"Amsterdam" is in theaters now.
Sutton Foster joins us after the break.
Stick around, everybody.
