-Welcome back. It's so good to see you.
-Thank you, man. -I like introducing you.
I just introduced you for the game.
-I got a double intro. -A double intro.
Yeah, that's a the new thing. -It's in the contract now.
-Yeah, every time, you have to do it.
-No, I'm never doing a show again without the double intro.
-I always love seeing you and was happy
to go out to dinner with you a couple weeks ago.
-It was great. -Thanks for doing that with me.
-It was so nice.
-Due, you kind of schooled me on that ChatGPT or whatever.
-ChatGPT-3, yeah. [ Cheers and applause ]
Right?
-Dude -- -Hold on.
If you haven't checked this thing out,
just go home and just try it.
You're going to get -- It's, like,
mind-bonkers how unbelievable this thing is.
-It's crazy.
Do you know that we've known each other for 20 years?
-Two decades. -Is that wild?
2003 --
-Jimmy, we knew each other before everybody had cellphones.
[ Laughter ]
This is the messed-up thing. -Wow! That's wild.
-We knew each other before Uber existed.
-Yes. That's wild.
-We knew each other, like -- -2003.
-It's been a long time. -Yeah.
-2003. -I looked at it.
You hosted "Saturday Night Live."
The musical guest was 50 Cent. -Yeah.
50. -Yeah.
-"Up in da Club."
You're laughing, but we got a bottle full of bub.
-Yeah, we got a bottle full of bub.
-We all did.
-Do you remember the first time you hosted?
-I do remember, because it was like a dream scenario for me.
Like, the idea of being on "SNL" at all was, like,
one of those, like, childhood -- I mean, every Saturday night,
I begged to stay up late enough to watch "SNL."
-Yeah.
-And then going on -- I mean, even when I --
When we were making "Punk'd," I was like,
"We have to let improv actors have, like, another thing,"
'cause right now, "SNL" was the only thing.
I remember Bill Hader was on "Punk'd."
And I had him cast.
I had him booked for like a two-year contract
or whatever it was.
He was like, "Dude, I have a chance to be on 'SNL.'
Would you let me out of my deal?"
I'm like, "Dude, get out of your deal, go do 'SNL,'"
'cause that was always my dream.
And then there he was, and he went and did --
-Bill Hader. -Yeah. Now he's Bill Hader.
-And now he's Bill Hader. Do you know what I remember?
I remember we went at the after-party
or maybe the after-after party and we were hanging out.
-It had to be the after-after party.
-It was the after-after party.
-Because after the party is the after party.
-Yeah. But you were leaving.
And I want to say it was Amy Poehler's first year.
And we were all saying goodbye to you.
It was probably, you know,
5:00 in the morning or something.
And you were going out in your car or limousine or
whatever to go home -- finally.
It was the end of the night.
And we said, "Bye, dude. Bye. Take care."
And you were in your car, and Amy Poehler goes,
"I love you, dude."
And you go, "Cool. I love you, too" or something.
And your window rolled up, and you took off.
And she was like, "Why did I say that?
I love him, but, I mean, I don't know why I would say,
'I love you, dude.'"
She was just so nervous. It was her first --
-I didn't hear this. Like, I didn't hear her say it.
-I want her to tell the story. She tells it better.
-I just want to say this.
Amy, wherever you are, I love you, dude.
I love you. [ Cheers and applause ]
-Yeah, I know. Who doesn't love her?
Come on.
I heard this story you told recently
about a karaoke party that you went to at a neighbor's house.
-Oh, God. Oh, God. This has become, like, a thing.
-It has become a thing. -Now it's a thing.
-That's why we have to talk about it.
It's become a thing.
-My neighbor had a birthday party,
and they had a karaoke party.
-Yeah.
-Mila and I went to the party.
And we're sitting there, and this guy gets up
and he starts singing this ABBA song.
-Yeah. -And he was unbelievable.
I was like, "This guy's, like -- he's really good."
And I used to go to karaoke all the time.
I used to go with, like -- At, like,
Fairfax Farmers' Market used to have a karaoke every weekend.
And there were, like, ringers that were there.
They were, like, unbelievable ring--
And the guy gets up, and I turn to Mila.
I'm like, "This guy's a ringer.
Like, he's, like, the real --
-Yeah, he goes to karaoke things on the weekends.
-He must be on the karaoke circuit.
-He does ABBA. He does the ABBA song.
Then he goes to the next club and crushes.
Does ABBA all night.
-He is, like, a handsome guy, but he is, like, performing it.
And we're like, "Man, he's really good."
And we turn to our friend and we're like,
"Man, that guy was really good."
And they're like, "That's Harry Styles."
[ Cheers and applause ]
And I -- And I --
-It's Harry Styles.
-But I didn't know who that was.
And I still don't know really -- Like, I know the --
Like, "Watermelon" hmm song. -Yeah.
-But, like, if Harry was here and there were like two other,
like, 5'6", handsome, dark-haired fellas,
I'd be like, "I don't know.
It's one of them."
-Really?! You don't know Harry Styles?
-I legitimately don't.
Jimmy, I'm so pop-culture-anemic in my life.
I don't watch -- Like, if you ask me what's going on with
the Hubble Telescope, I could tell you.
If you ask me what the latest advancements in
Alzheimer research are,
I could probably give you a couple citations.
If you ask me who the guy is who invented ChatGPT-3
and pick him out of the crowd, I'll tell you who he is.
-But if I say, "What's the number-1 song?",
you'd be like, "No."
-No clue. -Really?
-No clue. I don't know.
-Did you go up to Harry and give him some advice
and go, "Hey, I think you got something, kid."
-I -- No.
He come -- No, so, he comes off the thing,
and Mila and I are both like, "God, you're really good.
You should, like, do this."
-He goes, "Yeah, I do do this.
I do this pretty successfully, yes.
-Guys, it was eight years ago, okay?
He was in, like, some D-12 band or something.
That was, like, his thing.
-No. -I don't know!
Because I'm not trying to be --
-Just stop, just stop, just stop.
-No, I like Harry. He's a nice guy.
-Stop talking. Just stop. -I don't -- I don't know.
-No, you don't know. You don't know.
-I just don't know.
-You're a talented actor, a producer.
You're an entrepreneur.
Really, you're one of the biggest --
You're one of the smartest investors and people
in that corner that I know.
You're amazing at this stuff.
I really am always impressed
when I talk to you about this stuff.
Do people pitch you ideas all the time like,
"Ashton, you want to invest in my company?"
-Now this happens.
So, early in my career, it was like people would just
come up to me and be like, "Burn!"
from Kelso, right?
And I'd be like, "Oh..."
And then it was like, "Dude, where's your car?
Where's your car, dude?" -That's good.
-And then it was like, "You got punk'd."
And then I'd be like, "You didn't do anything.
You're just saying it."
And then it was, like, people pitching me reality shows
to produce.
And now it's people pitching me companies.
Like, now, legitimately --
-Because you have Airbnb.
You've been invested in Uber, Shazam.
The list is endless.
It's amazing, what you've invested in.
I feel like you're almost the new Oprah of the tech world.
Whatever you touch goes --
-You get a Spotify! -No, no, no, no, no.
-You get a ChatGPT!
Can we not say that? -Yeah, you can.
I thought -- I had some ideas. These are legit ideas.
Can I pitch you an idea?
And if you like it, you do with it what you want.
-Okay. -Alright?
-Okay, okay. Pitch 'em, pitch 'em.
-Do they have to be apps or can they be anything?
-You can pitch me anything, but I'm --
Can I give you critical feedback?
Are you okay with it?
-Yeah. I'm ready to go. -Okay, let's go.
-Uh -- -Pass.
-I didn't start.
Oh, alright, this one -- First one is called Wink.
It's a dating app.
And what you do is, it's when -- In the future
when people are going to wear glasses with, like,
A.I. and stuff --
-Like contact lenses with A.I. That's coming. That's coming.
-They are? -That's something.
-So if you see someone on the street
and you think they're cute, you give them a little...
And it goes into their Wink file, and they go,
"Someone winked at you."
[ Cheers and applause ]
And they go, "Hey, someone winked at me."
And then you can look it up.
You can decide to do with it what you want to do.
-Like, the wink is the new swipe right.
-Yeah. It's just saying, "Hey, I'm interested,
if you're single."
-I like that, but I --
My feedback would be that's a product, not a platform.
We have to come up with, like,
what is the filled-out platform of it?
It's a good product idea. I like it.
-Alright, this is a product again, not a platform.
-Okay, okay.
-Oh, I have a Doritos flavor.
[ Laughter ]
Can you help me with that?
Do you know Frito-Lay people or whatever or Doritos people?
I have a good flavor for Doritos.
-I did a Cheetos commercial once.
-That's close. -Yeah, that's kind of, like --
-They're in the Frito-Lay family.
-Yeah. -Let's talk. You wanna hear it?
-Okay, yeah, let's go. -You ready for the flavor?
The new Doritos flavor? [ Drumroll ]
-Let's go. -Seven-layer dip.
[ Cheers and applause ] ♪♪
You see what I'm saying, dude? You see what I'm saying?
♪♪
See what I'm saying?
-My guy, you saved the best for last.
-"My guy." -You saved the best for last.
-Oh, I'm going to give you one more last one.
-No, no. That should be the last one.
-It should? -Really, really.
You said that seven-layer-dip Dor...
What does that even say?
Oh, do you want me to -- -Yeah.
-Crocs with mosquito repellent.
-Yeah.
-'Cause the holes -- -They're in the Crocs.
-The holes.
-The sweatier your foot gets,
the more you save the whole picnic.
You save the whole picnic. You know what I'm saying, Dude?
You can help -- Quest can help with that.
We're gonna make that? -It just illuminates.
-Talk to the OFF! people.
-There's, like, a Thermacell Croc.
You just -- Yeah, I don't want to have to spray stuff. Yeah.
-We just need to combo two companies together.
-Out of any of these ideas, are we doing any of these?
[ Laughs ] Nothing. Okay, good.
-The seven-layer-dip idea, I think, is good.
-Alright, good. -I'm gonna be honest with you.
-Let's talk about "Your Place or Mine."
You, Reese Witherspoon -- that's a home run to me.
I thought, "Oh --" Right? [ Cheers and applause ]
I would watch you guys -- I would watch you guys
just do nothing and eat lunch,
but you guys are together in a romantic comedy.
-Yeah. -I love this.
-Jimmy, I -- So, for however long --
I've done 10 romantic comedies.
I want to say like 5 out of the ten, I was like --
I would call my agent and be like, "Can Reese do it?
Is Reese available? Should we get Reese?
Can we get Reese? Can we call Reese?
Can someone -- Does somebody have Reese's number?
We should call Reese." -Yeah.
-And she was always working on something else.
And, at a point, I was like, "I just think she doesn't like me."
And then, actually, in fact, she recently told me
a story about how she thought I was weird
because I was at a party one time
and I was carrying a cooler around at the party.
And they're like -- And she was like, "No, there's a bar there.
You don't need your own drinks."
-No, that's cool. I like that guy.
-Anyway... -He's fun.
-So -- Yeah.
-Yeah, this guy's got his own cooler.
I would go up to you. -Just in case. You don't know.
-Ashton, give me a beer, man.
-Who wants to pay 20 bucks for a cocktail? Not me.
-I'm not gonna go to the bartender.
I don't even know that guy.
-Anyway, so, for the longest time, I was like,
"Okay, well, this is not going to happen."
And then I was like -- I was not sure
if I wanted to do another movie.
I didn't know if I wanted to do anything.
My agent sent me this thing, and they're like, "Hey, listen,
it's Aline Brosh McKenna, who did 'Devil Wears Prada.'"
She did "27 Dresses" and is a good friend of mine.
And I reached out to her on every romantic comedy I did
and I was like, "Hey, what's wrong with this scene?
Can you help me out?"
She was directing it, and Reese was starring in it.
And I was like, "Well, let me stop what I'm doing today
and read the screenplay."
-No-brainer.
-And I read it, and it was phenomenal.
And it's about a couple that are friends for like 20 years
and then decide that, yeah,
maybe there's something romantic here.
And I was like, "I don't know anything about that.
I've never been in that kind of relationship in my life."
-Sound familiar?
-And so I was like, "I have to do this movie."
And then we figured it out and made it happen.
It was amazing. -It's great. It's really fun.
It's exactly what you want it to be.
It's out this Friday. I want to show everyone a clip.
Here's Ashton Kutcher and Reese Witherspoon in
"Your Place or Mine."
Take a look.
-Open the freezer.
-This also says "urgent."
-Jack loves those casseroles.
-You know, I could -- I could buy dinner.
-Peter, I know that you have a lot of money,
but I really don't want you getting him takeout
and things that are fancy.
-Yeah, okay, homework and then frozen [mumbles] for dinner.
-I know there's something else I forgot to tell you.
Shoot! I forgot what I forgot to tell you.
-Debbie, stop.
Take a breath. -[ Breathes deeply ]
♪♪ -Look around.
Yeah.
Enjoy it.
Call us later. -Okay.
