LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, MY FIRST GUEST TONIGHT IS AN
ACTOR YOU KNOW FROM "WESTWORLD," "ENCHANTED,"
AND "27 DRESSES."
HIS NEW MOVIE IS "SONIC THE HEDGEHOG."
>> I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU FIVE SECONDS TO TELL ME WHERE IT IS.
FIVE.
>> I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
>> FOUR.
TOUGH GUY, I'M A COP AND YOU'RE THREATENING AN OFFICER.
>> HOW CAN YOU THREATEN SOMEONE WHO NEVER EXISTED?
THREE!
COME ON, RACK YOUR BRAIN!
YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO COME UP WITH SOME LAME EXCUSE TO GO ON
LIVING!
>> IN TWO, ONE -- WAIT!
DON'T HURT HIM!
AAAHHH!
>> Stephen: PLEASE WELCOME JAMES MARSDEN!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> THANK YOU!
>> Stephen: PLEASE, YOU SIT FIRST.
I LOVE ALL THE VARIETIES OF TWEED YOU HAVE ON TODAY.
>> THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU GET DRESSED IN THE DARK.
>> Stephen: NICE TO HAVE YOU.
GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
>> GOOD TO SEE YOU.
>> Stephen: IT'S BEEN LONG.
IT'S BEEN A WHILE.
>> Stephen: YOU ARE A HOLLYWOOD STAR.
>> GOT THAT RIGHT.
>> Stephen: DID YOU GO?
I DID NOT GO.
I WAS ACTUALLY WORKING ON OSCAR SUNDAY.
>> Stephen: GOOD FOR YOU.
OME OF US HAVE TO WORK, YOU KNOW, ON SUNDAY.
>> Stephen: YEAH.
BUT, NO, I DIDN'T.
I DID A COUPLE OF THE OSCAR PRE-PARTIES ON FRIDAY.
ONE OF THE ONES I WALKED INTO, AS I WAS WALKING IN, SOMEONE
STOPPED ME AND SAID, HEY, I WAS JUST WATCHING YOU ON COLBERT
DOING A MATHIEU McConaughey impression.
HOW LONG AGO?
>> Stephen: THAT WAS TWO YEARS AGO, THAT IMPRESSION.
>> YEAH, IT'S A WHILE, BUT THAT'S HOW SHE STARTED THE
CONVERSATION.
>> Stephen: THAT'S HOW MOST PEOPLE KNOW YOU.
>> AS THE GUY WHO DOES McConaughey on Colbert.
>> Stephen: WE PULLED THE CLIP WEN WE HEARD SHE SAID THAT TO
YOU.
JIM, DO WE HAVE A CLIP OF HIS IMPRESSION?
>> YOU CAN'T JUST DO THE ALL RIGHT ALL RIGHT THING ANYMORE
BECAUSE EVERYONE CAN DO IT.
BUT WHAT WE HAVE TO DO IS THROW A LITTLE TEXAS WHISTLE IN THERE
WITH HE'SCISTs, ANDETH, LIKE, WHEN YOU START TO HEAR THOSE
Ss START TO CREEP ON IN.
STEP OUT TO MY STREAM, I'LL MAKE YOU A MARGARITA BLOW YOUR HORNS
OFF.
( APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: THE QUESTION, OF
COURSE, HAS McConaughey seen your McConaughey impression?
>> I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION.
I HAVE RUN INTO HIM A FEW TIMES.
WE HAVE MUTUAL FRIENDS IN AUSTIN, TEXAS, AND I SAW HIM
THIS LAST YEAR.
YEAH, AUSTIN AT THE FORMULA ONE GRAND PRIX, AND EVERY TIME I SAY
HELLO TO HIM, HE'S ALWAYS VERY KIND, BUT I SAY, HEY, MATHIEU,
GOOD TO SEE YOU, AND HE KIND OF LOOKS AT ME AND GOES...
HEY...
AND I'M PROBABLY OVERTHINKING IT, THINKING HE'S SEEN ME AND
HE'S NOT A FAN OR HE JUST DOESN'T KNOW WHO THE HELL I AM.
>> Stephen: HE HAS A NATURAL INTENSITY.
HE ALWAYS LOOKS LIKE HE'S ABOUT TO SAY SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO
YOU.
>> NO MATTER WHAT HE'S DOING.
HE JUST SAYS HELLO AND HE'S JUST LIKE...
HEY...
AND YOU WAIT FOR SOMETHING ELSE AND IT NEVER COMES.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: I'M A "WESTWORLD"
FAN, AS I SAID TO YOU BEFORE.
>> YOU ARE.
>> Stephen: IN LAST SEASON, TEDDY IS KILLED.
REALLY KILLED OR "WESTWORLD" KILLED BECAUSE --
>> YOU KNOW I WOULD TELL YOU BUT I WOULD HAVE TO KILL YOU TO TELL
YOU.
>> Stephen: RIGHT.
YES.
NO, I THINK -- BOY -- YOU KNOW I CAN'T ANSWER THIS THING.
>> Stephen: YOU CAN'T EVEN LIE TO ME?
>> NO, I'M JUST GOING TO GO BACK TO McConaughey and go -- huh?
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: A PROJECT MORE
COMPLEX, "SONIC THE HEDGEHOG."
>> RIGHT, FAR MORE COMPLEX.
>> Stephen: WE JUST HAD YOUR CO-STAR JIM CAREY ON HERE.
IT'S THE FIRST TIME I EVER INTERVIEWED HIM AND I GOT A
TASTE OF SOME OF THE ENERGY AND THE CHAOS THAT SURROUNDS JIM AT
ALL TIMES.
WHAT'S THAT LIKE TO PERFORM WITH ON A DAILY BASIS?
>> HE'S A LEGEND AND HE'S BEEN A HERO OF MINE FOR A LONG PERIOD
OF TIME.
>> Stephen: YOU ARE A FAN?
HUGE FAN.
IN HIGH SCHOOL, I WOULD DO, IN LIVING COLOR, FIRE MARSHAL BILL
IMPRESSIONS.
I SEE HIM OVER THERE GOING, YES!
( APPLAUSE ) THAT'S HOW I GOT FRIENDS.
I WOULD MAKE PEOPLE LAUGH BY DOING JIM CARREY IMPRESSIONS.
>> Stephen: DID YOU DO THOSE TO HIM?
>> NO, NOT BECAUSE HE WOULD HAVE REACTED POORLY.
BECAUSE, I DON'T KNOW, I JUST DON'T KNOW HOW YOU BRING THAT
YOU HAVE WITHOUT BEING CHRIS FARLEY'S IMPRESSION --
( IMPERSONATING CHRIS FARLEY ) ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
>> Stephen: WE WANT TO GET YOU TO SOMEPLACE EARLY ON IN YOUR
CAREER.
YOU HAVE BEEN ACTING FOR 20 YEARS.
EVRYBODY KNOWS YOU DID SOME MODELING, FOR VERSACE?
>> YEP.
>> Stephen: BUT THIS IS YOUR REAL FIRST MODELING WORK.
>> IF YOU CAN CALL IT MODELING.
>> Stephen: THERE YOU GO.
YEAH.
>> Stephen: RIGHT HERE.
YEAH.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> YEAH.
>> Stephen: RIGHT THERE.
YOU MIGHT WANT TO REALLY ZOOM IN ON THAT.
>> Stephen: LOOK AT THOSE JEANS.
>> YEAH, GOOD OLD WHITEWASHED JEANS.
THAT WAS THE DAILY OKLAHOMAN SUNDAY NEWS PAPER.
I THINK THAT WAS PROBABLY A COUPON.
>> Stephen: RIGHT.
HOW OLD ARE YOU HERE?
>> I WAS 17, 18.
>> Stephen: BUT EXCITING!
YOU LOOK BACK AT IT NOW, THAT'S A HIDEOUS PHOTOGRAPH, BUT HOW
EXCITING MUST IT HAVE BEEN AT THE TIME?
>> I SHOULD HAVE BEEN WORKING AT A FAST FOOD RESTAURANT.
I WAS GETTING PAID TO PUT TERRIBLE CLOTHES ON.
IT WAS GREAT.
>> Stephen: WHAT DID YOU FRIENDS THINK OF THIS?
>> THEY, UH -- STRANGELY, THEY WERE JEALOUS.
( LAUGHTER ) I DON'T KNOW WHY.
>> Stephen: YOU WERE ON A SKATEBOARD HERE.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: WERE YOU A SKATER BOY?
>> I WAS NOT.
NO, NO, NO.
STEPHEN, THAT'S ALL FAKE.
I'M FAKING IT THERE.
>> Stephen: YOU'RE ACTING?
I DON'T REALLY WEAR THOSE CLOTHES, I WORE SOMETHING WAY
WORSE.
>> Stephen: YOU MOVED FROM MODELING ON TO ACTING BUT YOU
ALSO HAVE A BEAUTIFUL SINGING VOICE.
DID YOU EVER THINK THAT WAS GOING TO BE YOUR CAREER?
>> THAT'S VERY NICE OF YOU TO SAY.
>> Stephen: THANK YOU.
IT WAS SOMETHING THAT IF THE ACTING THING DIDN'T WORK OUT, I
FELT LIKE THAT I WOULD GIVE THAT A SHOT.
I ALWAYS THOUGHT I COULD BE ONE OF THE GUYS THAT SINGS JINGLES.
REMEMBER THE OLD GUM COMMERCIAL?
REMEMBER JUICY FRUIT AND BIG RED AND ALL THOSE?
I THOUGHT, I CAN DO THAT.
♪ BIG RED FRESHNESS LASTS RIGHT THROUGH IT ♪
♪ YOUR FRESH BREATH GOES ON AND ON WHILE YOU CHEW IT ♪
♪ SAI GOODBYE A LITTLE LONGER ♪ ♪ STAY A LITTLE LONGER ♪
♪ GIVE YOUR BREATH LONG LASTING FRESHNESS WITH BIG RED ♪
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: NO ONE BACK THERE
REMEMBERED THAT!
♪ JUICY FRUIT, GONNA MOVE YA ♪ WHY IS IT GUM COMMERCIALS THAT
ARE SO EXCITING.
>> Stephen: YOU BUT IT IN YOUR MOUTH AND CHEW, NOTHING TO
CONVEY.
>> BUT IT TAKES YOU FOR A RIDE.
I ALWAYS THOUGHT I COULD FALL BACK ON THAT AND BE A SINGLE
SING SNORE IT'S NICE TO HAVE A SAFETY NET IF THIS WHOLE MOVIE
STAR THING DOESN'T WORK OUT.
ACTUALLY LOOK FORWARD TO YOU BEING ALIVE IN SEASON 3.
>> OH -- I GUESS YOU KNOW MORE THAN I DO.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: GOOD TO SEE YOU
AGAIN.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE.
"SONIC THE HEDGEHOG" IS IN THEATERS TOMORROW.
MR. JAMES MARSDEN, EVERYBODY!
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH SAM HEUGHAN FROM "OUTLANDER"!
