-I want to show a picture.
I follow you also -- I follow you on Instagram, as well.
You posted -- This was very sweet.
It said, "I know genies don't have feet,
but you left some big shoes to fill.
Rest in peace, Robin."
That must have been -- -Fan art. A fan made that, man.
[ Applause ]
-It's beautiful. -Yeah.
-But you know, it was really -- I got presented the idea
to play the genie in "Aladdin,"
you know, and the first thing is, "Hell no."
You know, it's like, you know,
when Robin Williams smashed that role, you know.
And it's like, when you look at things like that,
you always try to find, like, what would you do differently?
What would you add to that?
So I looked at it and the first thing was,
I didn't feel like I wanted to touch it.
But then I spent some time with it, and, you know,
I met with the directors and talked about it.
-I think you're perfect. -Oh, thank you, man.
-I think you're perfect for the role.
Absolutely a great decision. [ Cheers and applause ]
Phenomenal, man. -Thank you.
Quest will know this.
What did it for me, when I was messing with the music,
there's a song, "A friend like me,
you ain't never had a friend like me."
So, when we went in, I had him grab "Impeach the President"
by the Honeydrippers, and he used the drums off --
[ Drums beating ]
Yeah, standard old school.
♪ Ali Baba, he had them forty thieves ♪
♪ Scheherazade, he had a thousand pair ♪

♪ You got some power in your corner now ♪

♪ All you got to do is rub that lamp ♪

Let's take a look. Will Smith.
-Hey, can you make me a prince?
-There is a lot of gray area in "make me a prince."
I could just make you a prince.
-Oh, no.
-Right, you'd be snuggled up with that dude
for the rest of your life. -Yo, y'all see my palace?
-Be specific with your words.
The deal is in the detail. -Got it.
