-Welcome back. I'm here with my cohost,
the one and only Shawn Mendes!
[ Cheering, whistling, and applause ] [ Rimshot ]
Oh, Shawn!
We love you, buddy. Shawn's new single,
"When You're Gone," is out now.
[ Cheering and applause ] That's right.
When I do that, it looks like your belt
kind of blinks, almost -Oh, yeah.
[ Laughter ] -It's interesting. -Look at that.
Tickets for his upcoming tour, Wonder: The World Tour,
are on sale now. [ Cheering and applause ]
I'm excited for it. Thank you for being my cohost.
I appreciate this. -I'm happy to be your cohost.
-Are you liking cohosting? -I'm loving this.
[ Laughter ] -Wait a sec. You like it too much?
You want to take over? -I like it a lot.
-Do you get nervous when you do these things?
-Yeah, definitely. I feel more nervous here
than I did back there. -Really?
-Yeah. -But you just presented
at the Oscars. You looked great, by the way.
[ Cheering and applause ] You sounded great. That was awesome.
-Thank you. -Do you get nervous when you do that?
-That was a little nerve-wracking, yeah.
-It was. -Yeah. Because you're like staring.
You're looking at Jake Gyllenhaal.
He's like right there.
-Yeah, exactly. -Jake Gyllenhaal.
-Jake's giving you the eye, going like,
"Okay, you better not mess this up."
Yeah, you get a little nervous. -Yeah.
-But when you're onstage in front of millions of people?
-That's like -- That's just like --
-That's at home for you. Yeah, it feels like home.
Yeah, definitely. -That's wild.
[ Awws ] -Yeah.
Well, last month I wanted to ask you this question
because I saw this. I follow Mariah Carey
on socials -- Hi, Mariah -- -Yeah.
Hi, Mariah. -and she posted this.
I guess she sent you a text.
-She sent me a few, yeah. -Yeah.
-That wasn't me bragging about that.
[ Laughter ] -No, no.
I just want to know about this relationship, yeah.
How did you guys start texting?
I think I posted a photo like of myself
and the caption was like,
"Listening to old Mariah Carey songs."
-Oh, really? -Yeah. And she reposted one,
being like, "Listening to old Shawn Mendes,"
which was a bit confusing, but I loved it. I was like --
[ Laughter ] -Yeah. -Yeah.
-But then this got really confusing.
-It got really confusing. -So she sent you,
on St. Patrick's Day...
-Yeah. -...a text to your phone...
-Yeah. -...and then she posted
the text that she --
[ Laughter ] She put,
on St. Patrick's Day, she put... -What did she text me?
-"Happy Thanksgiving!!!"
[ Laughter ]
And then eventually said, "Wrong Shawn.
[ Laughter ] Sorry. Also, I [didn't] realize
it's not Thanksgiving." [ Laughter ]
And you said...
[ Laughter ]
-Did you find out what that inside joke was or what is this?
-I think my initial instinct was
to say Happy Thanksgiving back.
-Yeah, of course. -just because you don't --
-Also, it's Mariah Carey. You don't mess around.
-She could mean anything.
-Yeah, sure. Of course. Happy Thanksgiving, yeah.
[ Laughter ] -But, no, it was St. Patrick's Day, yeah.
-Yeah. -So she has another friend Shawn,
who she texts Happy Thanksgiving to
on St. Patrick's Day.
[ Laughter ]
-That is confusing.
-But also, you're Canadian, so your Thanksgiving's
a different -- -Totally different.
So I was having a real --
[ Laughter ] -Yeah, a conundrum.
-I forgot where I was from, yeah.
-Yeah. You post a lot.
I love everything you post.
And, recently, you got a lot of pickup
for this post that you wrote on social media.
You were talking about like being very truthful
and being very honest and talking about yourself
and mental health and where you're at.
Is that hard, for you to to do that
and do you have people around you that like,
"Shawn, maybe don't do that?"
-Definitely. I mean, I don't really --
Those people don't get to see that tweet before it comes out.
Although, I think they would encourage it.
But I think it's kind of like
the only way for me, you know. -Yeah.
-I could feel like I can't do this thing
where I'm like putting on a show
or, you know, even though we're like here and happy,
but we are genuinely here and happy.
Like there's nothing -- -Yes, we were happy all day
today, no stress. -Yeah, no stress,
like truly happy.
And I feel like, although we are entertainers,
like people just kind of want truth and they want honesty.
And that's what I want from people,
so that's what I'm trying to --
[ Cheering and applause ] -Yeah. -Yeah.
-But I thought, because it's like, you know,
you don't have to do that and I commend you for doing that.
-Yeah, I would think like the expectation, nowadays,
for people -- for like celebrities,
for anybody, for like kids -- is so high.
It's to be like thriving, 10/10,
like making tons of money, super happy,
looking amazing and like -Perfect.
-perfect and it's just like, you know, Instagram and stuff,
they're not really showing the real lives of people,
so I'm just trying to like inject a little bit of realness
into my Instagram and Twitter or whatever, so.
It's important, yeah. -I appreciate you doing that.
Please keep doing that. -I'm going to try, yeah.
-I love that. -Yeah.
[ Cheering and applause ]
We know you as a musician
and I'm going to ask you, next time you're on,
to do this, if it's true.
Were you also into magic? Is this true?
[ Laughter ] -I had a little bit of a magic phase.
-You had a magic phase? -Yeah, I did.
-Now, when, how old were you and what did you do?
Like, "I want to be --"? -I had like three card tricks
and one toothpick trick.
[ Laughter ] -Oh, okay. Alright.
I want to see. What's the toothpick trick?
Can you just say what it is?
-It's going to be really confusing,
but it's like imagine you're holding the toothpick like this.
This is a really weird way you hold a toothpick.
-I agree. -You like tape it
to the back of your thumb
and I'd be holding it and be like, "Look at the toothpick"
and I would do that and the toothpick --
You know what I'm saying. You know what I'm getting at.
-Yeah, that's a great trick! -Everyone else is confused.
-No, that's a life hack right there.
We all just learned a trick from Shawn Mendes.
That's amazing. [ Cheering and applause ]
-That's why I'm not a magician.
[ Laughter ] -Yeah, but I want to talk about the tour, though.
You're going to go on tour.
[ Cheering, whistling, and applause ]
This is Wonder" The World Tour, kicks off in June.
This is a very climate-positive
tour, by the way -Totally, completely.
[ Cheering ] -that you're doing. I love that you're doing this.
-Have to. -Urging everyone, carpool,
et cetera, do whatever you can. -Whatever you can.
-We want to do this for a long time, guys.
We want to be on this Earth,
performing for a long time and cohosting for a long time.
-Coming back every year. -You know what I'm saying?
Come on. We have to do it. -Let's do it. Let's do it.
-I'm amazed when you come on
because you couldn't be a nicer guy.
This is not a fake Shawn Mendes right here.
You're the same as you are off-camera
as you are here. -And you are, too.
-No, but then you get out there
and you get your guitar and it's like pchoo!
[ Laughter ] And it's just like a rocket ship, man,
and it's just awesome to see.
-You guys, I think like people don't understand how
difficult it is, what Jimmy does for a living,
like as a talk show host.
Like the amount of stuff that you have to kind of
keep up with every day is incredible.
And, every time since I was 15, I've come on this show
and you've just been the best guy ever, truly.
I mean that, yeah.
[ Cheering and applause ]
-Do you want to --
Would you like to interview me?
-Should I? -Yes!

-Block Justin Timberlake. -Yeah.
[ Cheering, ohs, and applause ]
-Just because he's blocked me.

I feel like he's tired of hearing from me, yeah.
-He's not. -And I will follow
-No, he's not. -Shawn Mendes, yeah.
I will follow, yeah.
[ Cheering and applause ]
Justin, call me, please!
Call me, Justin!
[ Laughter ]
I like that. That's a good question.
Any other?
-Yeah. -What?
-Well, would you rather be
the fastest or the strongest or the smartest person
in the world? I really want to know this one.
What would you, fastest, strongest, or smartest?
-Fastest, strongest, or smartest?
-Yeah.
-I think I already am the fastest,
[ Laughter ] so I don't have to worry about that.
I think smartest, for me -- -You think you're faster than me?
[ Ohs ] -I do think I'm --
-You do? -Prove it!
[ Drumroll ] I mean, you're tall,
a little bit taller. -You noticed how long my legs are.
[ Laughter ] -Yeah, you're taller, but, I mean,
I think that takes you longer to get like
some speed... -You're fast?
[ Laughter ] -...you know?
Yeah, I'm fast. You want to have a race?
-You want to race me? I'll race you.
[ Cheering and applause ] -You want to race?
Where do we go, from here to The Roots?

-To the drums? -Alright, we'll go here to the drums.
You don't even know your way around.
There's dresser drawers right there
and stuff. Be careful.
Wait. Are you getting a head start?
-Why is there a flashlight back here?
-Oh, that not a flashlight.
-I don't know what that is.
