-You know, the first time you were here
was one year ago this week.
-Really? -It was your late-night debut.
-Oh, my God. -I was your first talk show.
-Yeah. -And you were talking about
"Crazy Rich Asians" which went on to, like,
dominate the world. -It was crazy.
It did like, a quarter of a billion dollars,
and people were just blown away by it.
-I mean, that -- it was only made for, I think --
I think I'm right about this, $15.
They made the film for -- [ laughter ]
-That's a lot of profit. -Yeah. A lot of profit.
-Where's my back end? -Yeah, exactly.
That was your first big break that we know of.
-Mm-hmm. -But actually your first
big break was hosting a travel show on Malaysian TV?
-Yes. I had this, like, crazy idea
whilst working in London to head over to Malaysia
and attempt to be a travel show host.
So I asked, you know, my buddy to put together
a little show reel for me.
And then when I went over to Malaysia,
I would have something to do or or something to give
to these producers and stuff.
-So you sent this videotape --
Was it a videotape or was it DVD?
-I think I showed one person because it was so embarrassing.
Like, I was the most terrible, terrible presenter ever.
-But it got you the job.
-No, I think I had to go in person
because they were like, "Man, this guy is bad."
[ Laughter ] Like, "he needs to come here."
-Really? How was it that bad?
Do you remember it at all, doing it?
You were in London? -Yeah, I was in London
going around the East End trying to sort of be natural
and not really understanding
what to do with my hands or my arms.
-You know, I'm laughing because we here at "The Tonight Show"
don't mess around. We actually found...
-Shut up. [ Laughter ]
-We actually found the footage that you sent to one person.
-Oh, my God. -Your life's about to be over.
[ Laughter ] Here's the never before seen
audition tape that you made --
-Literally no one has seen this. How the hell did you --
-Travel show host. Let's take a look.
-Oh, no. -Hey, I'm Henry,
and today we're headed to the East End of London
to check out Brick Lane.

[ Cheers and applause ] -Hey!
Oh!
-No! -Oh, my.
I'm crying. I'm literally crying.
You've destroyed my street cred. -No, no.
I had to. I had to. Please, please, please.
-Oh, my God. -It got you where you are.
It worked. -I guess it worked. Yeah, yeah.
It worked. -I love it.
-I hate you so much, Jimmy Fallon.
-A lot of pointing and -- [ Laughter ]
I love it. It's fantastic.
I can see you blushing right now.
-I'm so red. -Let's talk about this big movie
you're in. -Yes.
-"Last Christmas." We're about to debut
the trailer for you guys here and at home.
[ Cheers and applause ] Never been seen before.
I am so excited about this!
It's based on the wham song "Last Christmas."
-That's right. Emma Thompson wrote it,
and she's a phenomenal, phenomenal human being.
-Did you get to hang out with Emma Thompson at all?
-Yeah, we -- -She's the coolest.
-She's the absolute coolest. We actually went for --
It was kind of like a Sunday lunch.
We were kind of invited around to her house,
which is so lovely.
And she's got these beautiful kids who are far too intelligent
for their own good.
I do remember we sort of had this moment
in her living room, and the living room
is kind of this huge library of books and things.
And everybody went out to sort of set the table,
and I was like, "I got to just make a quick call."
I'm calling my wife, and I'm kind of sat in this chair.
I'm just looking at this room. I'm like, "Oh, look.
There are all the awards.
The awards are like on the top shelf.
-BAFTAs and Golden Globes. -BAFTAs, Golden Globes,
like, writers awards.
I'm like, I know she has two Oscars somewhere around here.
I need to find them. So I'm like kind of looking around.
Nowhere to be seen. I'm like,
she must have locked them up. She must have, like,
put them somewhere really secure.
-At a museum somewhere. -Exactly.
And so I start heading back to the living room
and the dining room.
And I thought I'll just go for a whaz.
Or just a wee for all of the Americans out there.
[ Laughter ] A wee.
-A whaz okay. -And so I'm sort of --
I'm conducting business.
And then suddenly my eyes just reach
these two Golden statues in the toilet, and they are the Oscars.
-You took a picture of -- -I did.
-Emma Thompson's bathroom. Look at this.
-I had to. Look how amazing that is.
[ Laughter ]
-How cool!
-Oh, my God. -How cool is Emma Thompson?
-The craziest thing is, like, as soon as you turn to the left
of that picture, there's a mirror there.
So she's placed that specifically so people can,
like, bring it up to them, and sort of have this, like,
cheesy smile in the mirror, and, like, pretend they won an Oscar.
Which, of course, I did. -I was going to say,
did you do it? -Of course I did.
She knows how to do that stuff.
Well, what can we say about "Last Christmas?"
Do we set anything up? -Oh, my God, yeah.
I mean, it's a beautiful rom-com
set in London at the most magical time of the year.
-London is beautiful at Christmas.
-It's stunning. It's stunning.
Emilia Clarke plays a young lost character
who is very cynical about the world.
She was sort of a failed singer.
She meets a boy. They go on dates.
And it's just one of the most tear-jerking, hilarious movies
you'll ever watch, so... -For the first time ever,
here is Henry Golding in the exclusive world premiere
of the "Last Christmas" trailer. Take a look.
