HOW ARE YOU, CHRIS.
I'M SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU, THANKS SO MUCH FOR COMING ON THE SHOW,
HOW ARE YOU DOING?
>> GOODS, I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE IT, MAN, I'M SO HAPPY TO BE
HERE, IN ZOOMLAND.
>> James: WELL, WE'RE HAPPY THAT YOU ARE HERE IN ZOOMLAND.
OBVIOUSLY TOMORROW IS THANKSGIVING.
NOW I KNOW THAT YOUR ELDEST DAUGHTER WAS AWAY, AT COLLEGE.
HOW ARE YOU DOING THE HOLIDAYS?
WILL EVERYONE BE HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS THIS YEAR?
>> HOW ARE WE DIDDING THE HOLIDAYS.
I'M DIVORCED SO WE SPLIT IT SOMETIMES MY KIDS GO WITH THEIR
MOTHER AND I'M GOING TO BE WITH SOME FRIENDS.
MY DAUGHTER JUST GOT IN THOUGH.
SHE WAS IN SCHOOL IN PARIS.
AND THAT'S BEEN AN ADJUSTMENT BECAUSE NOW SHE IS OFFICIALLY
FAR MORE SOPHISTICATED THAN ME.
SHE LIVES IN PARIS, YOU KNOW.
SO YOU KNOW, WHAT AND HOW IS IT HAVING HER BACK?
>> IT'S, YOU KNOW, SHE'S LIKE A GROWN UP NOW, SHE HAS LIVED ON
HER OWN FOR LIKE 90 DAYS SO SHE GETS THE BIG ROOM NOW AND I GOT
TO SLEEP IN A LITTLE ROOM AND PRETTY MUCH HOW IT HAS BEEN
GOING.
YOU WILL BE THERE SOME DAY.
>> James: I KNOW, I DREAD IT.
I DREAD IT.
THE LEVEL OF NOSTALGIA I ALREADY FEEL FOR MY CHILDREN AND THEY
ARE TINY.
MY DAUGHTER IS SIX.
AND I FINE MYSELF SAYING TO MY WIFE, I SEND MY WIFE PICTURES OF
OUR DAUGHTER THAT SHE WAS THERE WHEN THEY WERE TAKEN A YEAR AGO
AND SHE IS LIKE I'VE GOT IT.
CALM DOWN.
>> WAIT, WAIT TEN YEARS FROM NOW WHEN YOU ARE THREE WIVES IN,
THEN IT WILL BE REALLY SOMETHING.
>> James: I WON'T KNOW WHICH WIFE TO SEND WHICH KID TO, IT
WILL BE A NIGHTMARE.
>> OH MAN, YOU GET ALL MICKED UP.
ONE WIFE, HA HA HA HA.
>> James: NOW I DO THINK THOUGH WHEREVER YOU ARE SPENDING
THANKSGIVING A BIG TOPIC OF THAT THANKSGIVING DINNER IS GOING TO
BE THE FACT THAT YOU, SIR, ARE ONE OF "PEOPLE" MAGAZINE'S
OFFICIALLY SEXIEST MEN ALIVE.
NOW I KNOW, I KNOW THAT YOU CAMPAIGNED VERY HARD FOR THIS
HOW DOES IT FEEL.
>> I CAMPAIGNED, I LOVE HOW THEY BREAK IT OFF INTO LIKE SECTIONS.
>> YEAH.
>> LIKE-- THE ACTUAL SEXIEST MAN ALIVE IN THE MEN'S SECTION, I'M
LIKE SEXIEST COMEDIAN WITH VENEERS, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
THAT'S MY CATEGORY.
I BEAT OUT TRACEY MORGAN AND CAT WILLIAMS.
SO.
>> James: I REMEMBER WHEN OUR SHOW FIRST LAUNCHED LIKE YOU
KNOW, WE'RE TRYING TO GET ANYBODY REMOTELY ANYONE TO BE
INTERESTED IN THE PLAY, AND "PEOPLE" MAGAZINE CAME TO ME AND
SAID WILL YOU L YOU WRITE A PIECE FOR OUR SEXIEST MAN ISSUE
THAT BASICALLY SAYS WHAT YOU DO IF YOU WERE EVER NAMED SEX YS
MAN ALIVE AND AT THE TIME I WAS LIKE, AT THE TIME I WAS LIKE
YEAH, THAT'S FUN AND NOW I LOOK BACK AT IT RETROSPECTIVELY AND
IT FEELS INCREDIBLY RUDE.
NOW YOU'RE IN NEW JERSEY, OBVIOUSLY THE ELECTION JUST
HAPPENED.
IT HAS BEEN QUITE A FEW WEEKS.
WHAT WAS THE CELEBRATION LIKE IN NEW JERSEY?
>> YOU KNOW, I LIVE AROUND A LOT OF TRUMP PEOPLE SO IT WAS A LOT
OF TEARS DOWN THE DRIEFTWAY.
BUT ME, I, YOU KNOW, I IT WAS LIKE THE END OF CASTAWAY, YOU
KNOW, THE BOAT COMES UP TO TOM HANKS.
HE DOESN'T JUMP FOR JOY, HE JUST WANTS TO HUG HELEN HUNT, THAT'S
ALL HE WANTS.
CAN I JUST GET A HUG FROM HELEN HUNT AND DELIVER MY LAST
PACKAGE?
THAT'S IT.
>> YEAH.
>> AND THEN FIGURE OUT WHAT LIFE IS AFTER THIS.
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
>> FIGURE OUT WHAT LIFE IS, IT'S LIKE HEY, MAN, YOU JUST GOT-- WE
WILL LOOK BACK ON IT, IT HAS BEEN THE WEIRDEST TIME I CAN
EVER BEGIN TO IMAGINE.
NOW CHRIS I REALLY WANT IT TALK TO YOU ABOUT IN I'M REALLY
FASCINATED ABOUT THIS, I HOPE ARE YOU ALREADY TALKING ABOUT.
YOU RECENTLY WENT AND TOOK AYAHUASCA FOR THE FIRST TIME
WHICH I'M KIND OF FASCINATED BY AND INTRIGUED BY.
TELL ME EVERYTHING ABOUT IT, WHAT WAS IT LIKE?
>> I MEAN OKAY, SO I HAVE BEEN IN A CRAZY YEAR OF LIKE NOTHING
BUT INTENSIVE, INTENSIVE THERAPY , SIX SLINKS A WEEK AND
ALL THIS NONSENSE, RIGHT, THAT ACTUALLY HELPED ME OUT.
AND AA HUGHES KA IS, YOU NO HE, IT CLEARS YOUR MIND.
YOU TURN ALL YOUR CHILDHOOD TRAUMA.
SO I WOULD RECOMMEND IT, BUT YOU SHOULD BE DOING THERAPY BEFORE
YOU DO IT.
LIKE ALL YOUR DEMONS ARE GOING TO COME UP.
YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH DEAD PEOPLE.
YOU'RE GOING TO, YOU KNOW, YOUR OLD CHAMPIONSHIPS, THINGS ARE
GOING TO BE CLEAR, YOU'RE GOING TO BE LAUGHING, YOU'RE GOING TO
BE CRYING, YOU'RE GOING TO BE VOMITING, PUKING, CRAPPING T IS
GOING TO BE-- SWEATING AND IT'S ALL GOING TO BE AMAZING.
LIKE IF YOU DO IT, YOU WILL GO FROM 12:30 TO 11:30, I PREDICT
THAT.
>> THEN I'M NEVER DOING IT, NO CHANCE, NO WAY.
BUT YOU GO AND YOU DRINK THE TEA, RIGHT, IT'S LIKE A DRINK.
>> YOU HAVE A SHAMAN, HE DOES THIS WHOLE CEREMONY, RIGHT, THE
WHOLE KIND OF SPIRITUAL RELIGIOUS CEREMONY, WITH ME AND
FRIENDS.
AND YOU KNOW, THEN YOU DRINK THE TEA, AND YOU ALL DRINK IT AT THE
SAME TIME AND YOU RECITE THESE WORDS, SPIRITUAL WORDS, CHANTS.
AND BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, THE GODS START SHOWK UP.
AND-- .
>> James: I AM KIND OF INTO IT, I AM.
>> LET'S DO IT, I WILL DO IT AGAIN, I WILL CALL YOU NEXT
TIME.
>> James: YOU DID IT ON THIS COAST.
>> I DID IT IN MALIBU.
>> James: I AM INTRIGUED.
DO YOU THINK IT HELPED YOU AS A PERFORMER?
>> I MEAN I GUESS, YOU KNOW, I HOSTED SNL AFTERWARDS.
THAT WENT WELL.
I WROTE A SCRIPT IN LIKE SEVEN DAYS, AFTER DOING AYAHUASCA, SO
YEAH, IT HAS KIND OF HELPED ME OUT.
I'M CLEAR, MY MIND IS CLEAR, JAMES.
>> James: LET'S TALK ABOUT FARGO BECAUSE WE HAVE TO
CONGRATULATE YOU.
I'VE LOVED EVERY SEASON AND EVERY TIME A NEW ONE COMES
ALONG, I SORT OF WHITE-KNUCKLE IT WHEN THE CREDITS ROLL LIKE
OH, YOU LET ME DOWN ON THESE ONE, AND YOUR SEASON I THINK IS
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT.
FOR ANYONE WHO HASN'T CAUGHT IT YET, TELL THEM WHAT IT IS ABOUT
AND WHO I PLAY.
>> I PLAY A GUY NAMED LOY-- AND I'M A BLACK, THAT IS HOW THEY
CAST ME, I'M ALWAYS BLACK.
ANYWAY, I PLAY A GANGSTER IN THE 50S.
I PLAY A GANGSTER SLASH BANKER/BUSINESSMAN SO A BLACK
MAN THAT IS HAMPERED BY THE LAWS OF THAT DAY BUT VERY BRILLIANT
AND UNDER ANY OTHER SIRKS YOU CAN BE A TITAN OF IT INDUSTRY
BUT HE HAS TO KIND OF BE A GANGSTER TO GET WHAT HE WANTS.
AND IN THE BEGINNING OF THE SEASON, I'M THE HEAD OF THE
BLACK CRIME FAMILY AND THERE IS AN ITALIAN CRIME FAMILY.
AND WE RAISE OUR CHILDREN TO KEEP THE PEACE, WE RAISE EACH
OTHER'S CHILD TO KEEP THE PEACE.
AND THAT LEADS TO A LOT OF COMPLICATIONS.
>> WELL, IT HAS BEEN ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT SO FAR.
WE HAVE BEEN
DOING A THING ON THE SHOW CALLED A "LATE, LATE SHOW" AND TELL
WHERE WE ASK OUR GUESTS TO SHARE SOMETHING FROM THEIR HOME THAT
WE MAY OTHERWISE NEVER GET TO SEE.
DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH US?
>> A FRIEND OF MINE NEIL BRENNAN.
>> YEAH, LOVE NEIL BRENNANING.
>> GOOD FRIEND OF MINE, SENT ME A PIECE OF ART LAST WEEK BY THIS
NEW GREAT ARTIST.
AND I WANT TO SHOW YOU THIS PIECE OF ART.
DO YOU SEE THE ART.
>> YES.
>> NOW IT IS BEAUTIFUL, RIGHT.
BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL.
I HANG IT UP.
AND THE ARTIST'S NAME IS RACHEL DOLEZAL.
HALF (LAUGHTER)
WOW.
>> I HAVE AN ORIGINAL RACHEL DOLE GLOL-- DOLEZAL IN MY
HALLWAY, YEAH.
>> James: ABSOLUTELY SENSATIONAL.
