Hi, Jason.
Thanks so much for being here.
[APPLAUSE]
Thanks so much for having me, kind of.
Yeah, we're kind of here.
Kind of here.
So you met your girlfriend right before lockdown.
And I guess-- did quarantine speed up the relationship?
Yeah, I always say, quarantine can either
speed up a relationship or it can speed up a breakup.
You're spending so much time together, it's either great
or it's not.
So it was the contrary for us.
It's been going amazing.
I'm so happy for you.
I saw that you were lifting her.
I mean, wow.
So that's incredible, Jason.
Yeah.
You know, this is all her idea.
She was like-- yeah, we should do gymnastics.
We should do yoga gymnastics.
I didn't even know that was a thing.
But all right, come on.
That is incredible.
So that TikTok we just showed was so cool.
And you're insanely popular on TikTok.
How many followers do you have?
I think as of today, 37.6 or something like that.
Yeah.
And you got on it right away?
You loved TikTok right away?
No.
So I started in March.
I started one challenge.
And I was, like, OK.
This is cool.
Let me try another one.
And then I slowly got hooked.
Because the thing about TikTok, right, I
mean you can do whatever you want on the app.
Where I feel like, other apps are very--
you kind of get one thing.
TikTok, if you cook well you can be viral; if you like to dance;
if you have a strong connection with family members.
I mean, you can literally go viral for anything on TikTok.
And it's all equal playing field.
So that's what I love about it.
And I kind of caught that bug and do it every day.
Yeah, well, you should do it every day.
You're really good.
And now you're posting with Will Smith.
How did that start?
Yeah, so Will's team hit me up and was,
like, Will is a fan of what you've been
doing with all your content.
And I was like-- well, I'm a big fan too.
Let's get together.
And so we started off with one video.
And that went super-crazy.
And then we just kept it going.
It's been incredible because he's always been somebody
that I looked up to growing up.
So to be doing all these crazy videos that people are loving
is pretty awesome.
Oh, it's great.
Because you're both great individually.
And then putting you together, it's very cool.
You're filming at his house.
Now, he told me--
he showed me a picture of a supposed lion in his yard.
Have you seen a lion in his yard?
I've seen all kinds of [BLEEP] in his yard.
Excuse my French.
But pulling into Will's house, I don't
know if they were placed there.
But I saw a deer.
I saw little rabbits.
It was just--
I was like-- did they place those there?
Like, come on.
This is crazy.
You did a remix of your hit Savage Love with BTS.
Now it's number one Billboard Hot-100.
Were you a BTS fan?
How did that come about?
I actually met them a couple of years ago.
And they walked up to me and they told me
how much they appreciate my work and whatnot.
And it was great.
But I didn't know who they were at that moment yet.
And then later on, at that awards show,
they were doing some kind of competition
between different fandoms.
And they were winning against like Bieber and Ariana Grande.
And I was, like, this is serious.
Yeah.
And a couple of years later, I mean,
we have this song together.
And I think it's amazing that two different people from all
over the world--
I mean, you have Josh that's from New Zealand.
You have myself, American.
And then you have this massive K-pop group.
And you put them all together, I think it's amazing.
Yeah, it's very cool.
I love that you did that.
You're known for singing your name at the beginning of songs.
You stopped doing that for a little while.
And now you're doing it again.
Why did you stop and why are you doing it again?
Well, it's a bigger hit if I sing my name at the front,
obviously.
[LAUGHTER]
So yeah, I had to bring that back.
And I was actually wondering why other people
didn't sing my name at the front of their songs as well.
Because it worked so well for me,
they should sing Jason Derulo at the front of their songs.
Right.
Will you sing my name right now?
Ooh.
Yeah.
By the way, people ask me to do this all the time.
And I always tell them, hell no.
But, you know, it's Ellen.
So I'm going to do it.
(SINGING) Ellen DeGeneres.
I love it.
[APPLAUSE]
I can make it a little longer.
(SINGS WITH MORE VOCAL FLUCTUATION) Ellen DeGeneres.
Yeah, I like the little tail at the end right there.
Yeah.
That fits you better.
I'm going to start my show like that every single day.
Because that's going to help.
Better ratings.
Yeah.
Better ratings.
I can't wait.
Thank you so much.
So you have a new single, Take You Dancing.
You directed the video.
You really have developed into such a creative artist.
You're acting now.
You're directing videos.
I'm just so happy for you.
You really are--
Thank you.
--doing so well.
And you deserve it.
You're so talented.
Thank you so very much, Ellen.
I appreciate that.
Yeah.
No, seriously, you're incredible.
Hi, I'm Andy.
Ellen asked me to remind you to subscribe to her channel
so you can see more awesome videos, like videos
of me getting scared or saying embarrassing things,
like ball peen hammer--
and also some videos of Ellen and other celebrities,
if you're into that sort of thing.
[SCREAMS]
Oh, [BLEEP]!
God!
