>> Jimmy: THANK YOU FOR COMING.
>> THANK YOU, MAN.
>> Jimmy: HEY, BY THE WAY, I
WANT TO THANK YOU FOR SOMETHING
SPECIFICALLY.
YOU MENTIONED ME IN ONE OF YOUR
SONGS.
>> YEAH, I DID.
>> Jimmy: ON YOUR NEW ALBUM.
I FOUND OUT ABOUT IT
IMMEDIATELY.
MAY I READ THE LINE, OR DO YOU
REMEMBER THE LINE?
>> YEAH, I DON'T REALLY.
>> Jimmy: WENT INTO THE BED,
CLOSED THE LIGHTS AND DIMMED THE
DRAPES.
ALWAYS MATT DAMON WHEN YOU COME
JIMMY KIMMEL LATE.
>> YEAH, I REMEMBER IT.
>> Jimmy: WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
THAT MEANS HE'S A JERK, RIGHT?
>> MATT DAMON GETS A BAD RAP,
YOU NEED TO LET HIM COME OUT
HERE AND LEAVE HIM HANGING.
>> Jimmy: AND CUT INTO YOUR
TIME?
I DON'T THINK SO.
DOES THAT MEAN YOU KICK SOMEBODY
OUT?
OR WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
>> I THINK IT MEANS BEING TIRED,
SPENDING ALL THE TIME IN THE
STUDIO, WANTING TO GET HOME.
AND YOU'RE ALWAYS MATT DAMON
WHEN YOU COME HOME AS LATE AS
THIS TV SHOW COMES ON.
>> Jimmy: OH, PUT ME ON ALL OF
YOUR ALBUMS, IT MAKES ME COOL, I
WENT AROUND AND TOLD EVERYBODY
ABOUT IT.
EVERYONE'S LIKE, OH, YEAH,
GREAT.
YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE ON TOUR
RIGHT NOW, RIGHT?
>> YEAH.
>> Jimmy: BUT YOUR DAUGHTER WAS
BORN.
>> YEAH.
>> Jimmy: AND YOU DECIDED --
>> TO TAKE PATERNITY LEAVE.
>> Jimmy: DO YOU HAVE TO PUT IN
A REQUEST WITH YOURSELF?
HOW DOES THAT GO?
>> YEAH, I MEAN, I GUESS THE
FANS ARE KIND OF MY BOSSES.
YOU GOT TO LET THEM KNOW.
>> Jimmy: YOU LET THEM KNOW,
WHAT, FOUR DAYS IN ADVANCE,
RIGHT?
>> YEAH, EXACTLY, THE MONDAY
BEFORE THE FIRST SHOW I MADE THE
DECISION.
BUT YEAH, I ALREADY HAVE A
DAUGHTER, KINSLEY, SHE JUST
TURNED 4 YESTERDAY.
>> Jimmy: SHE'S VERY CUTE BY THE
WAY.
>> THANKS, MAN.
>> Jimmy: DID YOU KNOW I RAN
INTO YOUR MOM AT A SHAKE SHACK?
>> SHE ONLY TELLS ME EVERY DAY.
>> Jimmy: SHE DOES.
>> YOU CAN TELL THE STORY AGAIN,
IF YOU WANT TO.
>> Jimmy: WE JUST TALKED AND
THEN YOUR DAUGHTER WAS THERE, WE
HAD A VERY NICE TIME.
MY DAUGHTER WAS THERE.
THEY'RE AROUND THE SAME AGE.
>> OH, I DIDN'T, MM-HM.
SHE JUST KEEPS TALKING ABOUT
JIMMY KIMMEL.
>> Jimmy: WHEN MY DAUGHTER GETS
A TV SHOW THEN SHE'LL BE
MENTIONED.
SO YOU HAVE A 4-YEAR-OLD
DAUGHTER.
>> YEAH.
>> Jimmy: WHAT MADE YOU DECIDE
THAT HEY, I NEED SOME TIME OFF.
>> IT'S JUST WAY HARDER,
HONESTLY, HAVING TWO KIDS THAN
HAVING ONE.
>> Jimmy: YEAH, YES.
>> MATHEMATICALLY, IT MAKES
SENSE, BUT IN MY MIND, IT DIDN'T
REGISTER UNTIL I ACTUALLY HAD
TWO KIDS.
>> Jimmy: YEAH.
>> AND BEING HONEST, I COULDN'T
LEAVE MY WIFE AT HOME WITH BOTH
OF THEM, THE LITTLE ONE AND THE
BIGGER ONE.
>> Jimmy: AND WAS SHE
APPRECIATIVE OF THAT?
[ APPLAUSE ]
>> YEAH.
IT WAS A GROUP DECISION.
SO, YEAH, SHE WAS THRILLED WHEN
IT WENT DOWN THAT WAY.
>> Jimmy: I WOULD THINK SO,
YEAH.
IT'S NOT JUST DOUBLE WHEN YOU
HAVE TWO KIDS, IT'S EXPONENTIAL,
ISN'T IT?
>> YEAH, IT'S MUCH, MUCH, MUCH
HARDER.
>> Jimmy: YEAH.
YOU CHANGE DIAPERS?
>> YEAH.
>> Jimmy: YOU DO FEEDINGS?
ALL THAT STUFF?
>> PEOPLE MAKE THE DIAPER PART
SEEM SO TOUGH.
I WOULD MUCH RATHER DO DIAPERS
IF I DIDN'T HAVE TO WAKE UP IN
THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT TO BE
HONEST WITH YOU.
>> Jimmy: IF YOU COULD MAKE THE
CHOICE BETWEEN THOSE TWO THINGS.
SO YOU'RE VERY INVOLVED.
IT'S NOT ONE OF THOSE THINGS
LIKE HEY, LET'S BRING IN THE
NANNY, I'M HEADED OUT ON THE
ROAD.
>> LAST TIME I WENT TO L.A. I
BROUGHT MY DAUGHTER.
SHE WAS SUPER COOL.
SHE DIDN'T ACT A FOOL.
WHICH IS GREAT.
THAT'S SAYIN' A LOT.
BUT WHEN WE HAD TO FLY BACK HOME
I REALIZED HOW TOUGH IT IS
TRAVELING WITH YOUR CHILD.
SHE WASN'T EVEN AWAKE, IT'S JUST
LIKE, SHE'S HEAVY.
I WAS JUST SITTING AWAKE THE
WHOLE TIME, JUST KIND OF NODDING
OFF AND HAVING TO WAKE BACK UP,
SO.
>> Jimmy: IT IS HARD.
THERE'S NO QUESTION ABOUT IT.
INJURE BROTHER'S HERE, YOUR
BROTHER TAYLOR WAS ON OUR SHOW A
FEW MONTHS AGO.
BY THE WAY, YOUR BROTHER TAYLOR,
YOU GUYS LOOK A LOT ALIKE, FIRST
OF ALL.
>> YEAH.
>> Jimmy: AND YOUR DAD IS HERE.
AS WELL.
IS DAD HELPING WITH THE BABY?
>> YEAH.
YEAH.
>> Jimmy: TAYLOR'S ON YOUR
ALBUM.
>> YEAH.
>> Jimmy: YOUR DAD CO-WROTE A
SONG ON THE ALBUM.
>> YEAH.
YEAH.
>> Jimmy: WHOSE IDEA WAS THAT?
>> THAT WAS ON ME, MY DAD,
ACTUALLY, SO THEY SAY WRITER
WHEN YOU MAKE MUSIC, BUT JUST IN
THE MUSIC WORLD, MY DAD PLAYS
FLUTE, SO THEY PLAYED ON ONE OF
MY RECORDS, THEY SAY HE WROTE ON
IT.
WHAT IS GOING ON RIGHT NOW.
>> Jimmy: WHERE IS YOUR FLUTE?
A TRAVEL PICK LCOLO OR SOMETHIN
LIKE THAT.
WRITING, THEY MEAN THE MUSIC
ITSELF, NOT THE LYRICS.
>> EXACTLY.
MY DAD, SINCE I WAS REALLY
YOUNG, MY DAD LIKE HELPED ME
START MY WHOLE RAPPING THING.
THAT'S WHY I'M NOT INDEPENDENT
NOW.
MY DAD STARTED MY TEE SHIRT
BUSINESS, MY DAD GOT LIKE,
RENTED OUT REGGIE'S ROCK CLUB IN
CHICAGO, WHICH IS [ BLEEP ].
IT'S A BAD CLUB IN CHICAGO.
SORRY, LIVE.
BUT IT'S A, HE SET ME UP IN A
LOT OF WAYS AND JUST GAVE ME THE
CONFIDENCE TO DO IT.
SO IT'S COOL THAT HE WAS
ACTUALLY ON THE TRACK WHEN WE
MADE THE ALBUM.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
>> Jimmy: MAYBE THAT'S WHERE YOU
LEARN THE TO BE A GOOD DAD, FROM
YOUR DAD.
>> OH, YEAH, DEFINITELY.
>> Jimmy: WILL YOU SET UP A GIG
AT REGGIE'S CLUB FOR THE BABY?
>> FOR THE BABY?
SHE'S TOO FRESH RIGHT NOW.
>> Jimmy: BUT CAN YOU EVER BE
TOO FRESH WHEN YOU'RE RAPPING?
I'VE FOUND THAT YOU CAN'T.
>> EXACTLY.
>> Jimmy: I KNOW YOU'VE SAID IN
THE PAST THAT KANYE WEST IS YOUR
SPIRITUAL ADVISER?
>> KANYE, HE'S SO LIKE DEVOTED
RIGHT NOW.
LIKE HE'S VERY WELL-VERSED IN
THE BIBLE AT THIS POINT.
>> Jimmy: IN THE BIBLE
SPECIFICALLY.
>> YEAH, HE'S JUST READING A
LOT.
AND LIKE.
>> Jimmy: HE'S MEMORIZING
PASSAGES FROM THE BIBLE?
>> I THINK SO.
THE WAY HE TALKS TO ME NOW, IT
JUST SEEMS HE'S HAD THEM
MEMORIZED FOR YEARS, BUT TO MY
KNOWLEDGE, A LOT OF THAT STUFF
HE'S LEARNED RECENTLY.
>> Jimmy: BUT THIS HAS BEEN
ONGOING FOR A WHILE NOW.
>> YEAH, THIS SUNDAY SERVICE
THING HE'S DOING AND THE ALBUM
THAT COMES OUT NEXT WEEK I
THINK, SEPTEMBER 27, I FEEL LIKE
I'M ON KANYE'S PRESS RUN RIGHT
NOW.
>> Jimmy: YEAH, YOU ARE.
>> HE'S TALKING ABOUT WHAT I
BELIEVE IN, AND THAT IS THAT
JESUS IS KING.
HE'S ABOUT TO DROP HIS ALBUM.
I KNOW WE GOT SOME
[ APPLAUSE ]
PEOPLE.
SO HE'S SPREADING THE GOOD NEWS,
AND YEAH, I APPRECIATE IT.
>> Jimmy: YEAH, YOU'RE A VERY
DEVOUT GUY.
>> YEAH, TOTALLY.
>> Jimmy: IT SEEMS LIKE YOU
ABIDE, IT'S NOT JUST ONE OF
THOSE THINGS THAT FOR A LOT OF
PEOPLE IT IS.
>> YEAH, IT'S A, NOBODY'S
PERFECT.
WE'RE ALL JUST LEARNIN', YOU
KNOW, BUT I THINK'S A CRUCIAL
TIME THAT WE ALL KIND OF
RE-LEARN WHAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO
BE DOING.
>> Jimmy: I AGREE WITH YOU.
ALL RIGHT, CHANCE THE RAPPER IS
HERE.
HIS ALBUM IS CALLED "THE BIG
DAY".
IN ADDITION TO
YOUR BROTHER AND YOUR DAD BEING
ON THE ALBUM, YOU HAVE, LET PEA
ME GO THROUGH THE LIST.
EN VOGUE, THEY'RE HERE WITH YOU
TONIGHT.
>> YEAH.
>> Jimmy: I LOVE THAT.
SWV, NANOTHER GREAT GIRL GROUP,
AND MOST INTERESTINGLY, RANDY
NEWMAN WHO SANG "YOU'VE GOT A
FRIEND IN ME".
WERE YOU A FAN OF RANDY NEWMAN?
>> A HUGE FAN.
OUT SIDE OF HIS LEGENDARY
MUSICAL CAREER WITH SONGS LIKE
"SHORT PEOPLE" AND STUFF LIKE
THAT.
>> Jimmy: YEAH.
>> HE ALSO SANG "YOU'VE GOT A
FRIEND IN ME."
EVERYBODY THAT'S MY AGE, "TOY
ST
STORY" IS THE FIRST MOVIE I GOT
TO GO TO.
YEAH, I'M 26.
AND WHEN YOU GET MARRIED,
THERE'S A LOT OF NOSTALGIC
FEELINGS AND JUST REMEMBERING
THINGS, SO I FELT LIKE TRYING TO
PICK PEOPLE FROM MY CHILDHOOD
AND THAT EXPRESSED NOSTALGIA, I
DON'T KNOW.
>> Jimmy: WHEN YOU BASED THE
ALBUM, AS YOU SAY, ON YOUR
WEDDING DAY, ON YOUR WEDDING
DAY, ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT
THAT, THAT YOU'RE GOING TO WRITE
AN ALBUM AND RECORDING THINGS AS
YOU GO OR DO YOU JUST LOOK BACK
AT IT?
>> IT'S MORE IN HINDSIGHT THING,
BUT I DO REMEMBER A SPECIFIC
POINT AT MY WEDDING WHERE, DO
YOU KNOW THE PERCOLATOR?
>> Jimmy: THE PERCOLATE SNER.
>> DO YOU KNOW THE PERCOLATOR?
>> Jimmy: NO.
>> WELL, IT'S TIME FOR THE
PERCOLATOR, AND WHAT YOU DO IS,
THE PERCOLATOR LOOKS LIKE THIS.
IT'S LIKE THIS.
>> Jimmy: OH, I KNOW WHAT THAT
IS, YEAH.
>> WE GOT SOME PERCOLATOR FANS
IN THIS BUILDING.
>> Jimmy: I THOUGHT IT WAS AN
APPLIANCE.
>> YEAH, NO.
WE APPLY IT.
AND AT THIS WEDDING, MY COUSIN,
B-MAC, HE, HE HIT THE
PERCOLATOR, WHICH IS THE DANCE I
JUST SHOWED TO THE WHOLE NATION.
>> Jimmy: UH-HUH.
>> AND HE WAS HITTIN' IT SO
FURIOUSLY, THAT, THAT IT WAS
CLEAR TO ME THAT LIKE THIS WAS A
REAL MOMENT THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE
DON'T NECESSARILY GET TO SEE
EVERY DAY.
AND I WANTED TO GET THAT FEEL.
BECAUSE HE WAS VERY, VERY HAPPY,
AND IT WASN'T HIS WEDDING.
LIKE I SAID, THIS WAS MY COUSIN,
BUT HE HAD THIS FEELING OF LIKE
EXCITEMENT FOR ME THAT JUST
LIKE, IT WAS LIKE A MOMENT THAT
I'LL NEVER FORGET.
>> Jimmy: HE WAS PERCOLATING.
AND IT BOILED OVER.
>> AND MADE THIS HAPPEN.
>> Jimmy: SO THAT'S WHAT
HAPPENED, YOUR KCOUSIN DOING TH
PERCOLATOR.
AND WE DO ONE TO "COOL IT."
AND WE GO COOL IT NOW.
IT'S A DANCE I MADE UP.
AND IT'S BECOME A FAMILY
TRADITION.
>> YEAH.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> Jimmy: YOU POSTED SOMETHING
ABOUT YOU WERE AT THE LAUGH
FACTORY, WHICH IS A COMEDY CLUB.
AND YOUR WIFE, DID SHE ENCOURAGE
YOU OR PUSH YOU TO GET ON STAGE?
>> SHE, JUST A FUN FACT, THIS
WAS IN CHICAGO.
AND I ACTUALLY USED TO SPEND A
LITTLE TIME AT THIS LITTLE
IMPROV SPOT CALLED THUNDER DOME
IN CHICAGO.
SO I LIKE THE COMEDY SCENE.
I LIKE TO HANG OUT.
I WENT TO THE CLUB, AND I GOT
WASTED.
AND I WOULDN'T SAY THAT MY GIRL
ENCOURAGED ME TO GO ON STAGE,
BUT I WOULD SAY SHE LET ME.
SHE GAVE UP, BECAUSE I WAS
REALLY BENT ON GETTING ON STAGE
THAT NIGHT.
>> Jimmy: UH-HUH.
>> I JUST FELT LIKE IT WAS MY
TIME, AND SO I GOT UP THERE.
>> Jimmy: NO MATERIAL?
YOU HAVE ANY JOKES IN MIND?
>> YEAH, LIKE I SAID, I BELIEVE
ONE DAY I'LL BE A WORLD FAMOUS
COMEDIAN.
>> Jimmy: I SEE.
YOU'VE BEEN PERCOLATING.
>> I'VE BEEN DOING A GREAT JOB
HERE, TOO.
SO I'M A COMEDIC GUY.
I GOT ON STAGE AND HAD MY JOKES
ABOUT STUPID STUFF.
IT WAS REALLY, REALLY CORNY
STUFF.
>> Jimmy: DO YOU REMEMBER ANY OF
THOSE JOKES?
>> I HAVE A JOKE ABOUT THE, THE
BARBECUE THAT EVERYBODY TALKS
ABOUT OR THE COOKOUT.
>> Jimmy: OKAY.
>> HAVE YOU EVER HEARD ABOUT THE
COOKOUT?
>> Jimmy: THAT, I KNOW.
>> WHITE PEOPLE DO ANYTHING
THAT'S SLIGHTLY CONSIDERED
BLACK, AND THEY GET INVITED TO
THE COOKOUT.
AND I HAVE LIKE THIS LONG BIT
WHERE I GO INTO THINGS THAT
YOU'LL SEE AT THE COOKOUT, BUT
YOU'LL SEE IT IF YOU EVER COME
CATCH MY 20-MINUTE SET AT THE
LAUGH FACTORY IN CHICAGO.
>> Jimmy: YOU'RE DOING IT.
>> YEAH, I'M GOING TO MAKE A
WHOLE THING.
IT MIGHT BE CALLED THE COOKOUT,
WHO KNOWS.
>> Jimmy: WELL, WE'RE GOING TO
HEAR.
SO YOU'VE GOT EN VOGUE HERE
TONIGHT.
>> YEAH.
>> Jimmy: THAT'S PRETTY GREAT.
THIS IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS
WHERE I LIKE THEM, I'M GOING TO
CALL THEM AND ASK THEM TO BE
PART OF MY THING.
>> AT MY WEDDING, THERE WAS A
LOT OF DANCING GOING ON.
>> Jimmy: MM-HM.
>> AND A LOT OF JUST LIKE
LEGENDARY MUSIC BEING PLAYED.
WHEN IT'S YOUR WEDDING DAY YOU
HAVE TO HAVE THE RIGHT SONGS
PLAYING.
>> Jimmy: THE RIGHT MIX, YEAH.
>> AND OF COURSE EN VOGUE WAS IN
THERE.
>> Jimmy: WHICH EN VOGUE SONG
DID YOU -- "NEVER GONNA GET IT".
>> NEVER GONNA GET IT, WHICH
DOESN'T MAKE SENSE, BECAUSE I
DEFINITELY GOT T IT.
YOU JUST WANT TO DANCE HARD.
>> Jimmy: WE'RE GOING TO BE
DANCING AND PERCOLATING AND ALL
THAT STUFF A LITTLE LATER ON
TONIGHT.
THIS IS THE BIG DAY.
