>> Jimmy: WELCOME.
>> THANKS, MAN.
>> Jimmy: YOU KNOW, THE STREET'S
CLOSED FOR YOUR MOVIE.
>> SORRY ABOUT THAT.
>> Jimmy: THAT'S OKAY.
WE'RE USED TO IT.
>> TONIGHT I CAN APOLOGIZE FOR
IT.
>> Jimmy: BECAUSE YOU ARE
SOMEWHAT RESPONSIBLE.
>> IT'S MY FAULT.
>> Jimmy: THAT'S THE BIG THING.
WHEN YOU HAVE A BIG MOVIE, YOU
CLOSE DOWN HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD,
EVERYBODY COMES.
WHO'S COMING?
>> MY WHOLE FAMILY, MY SISTERS
IN THE BACK, MOM AND DAD.
>> Jimmy: HI, MOM AND DAD.
>> THE FAMOUS PETER VENTIMIGLIA
THAT YOU KNOW FROM HIS
INSTAGRAM.
>> Jimmy: YOUR DAD ON INSTAGRAM,
WHEN WERE YOU NOMINATED FOR AN
EMMY, WAS IT THE FIRST TIME?
>> YEAH.
>> Jimmy: WHAT DID HE PUT ON
INSTAGRAM?
>> IT WAS NATIONAL FRENCH FRY
DAY, AND HE TALKED ABOUT
NATIONAL FRENCH FRY DAY AND
CAUGHT HELL FOR POSTING ABOUT
NATIONAL FRENCH FRY DAY.
>> Jimmy: AND NOT YOUR EMMY
NOMINATION.
>> IT CAME A LITTLE LATER.
I GET IT.
I'M HIS SON.
I UNDERSTAND THESE THINGS.
>> Jimmy: HE'S HAD A
RELATIONSHIP WITH FRENCH FRIES
PROBABLY FOR LONGER THAN WITH
YOU, RIGHT?
>> YEAH.
>> Jimmy: IT STARTS VERY YOUNG.
SO ANYWAY, BECAUSE OF THAT, WE
LOOKED AT HIS INSTAGRAM.
DID YOU KNOW HE POSTED SOMETHING
TONIGHT ON INSTAGRAM?
>> HE DID.
>> Jimmy: HE DID.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT DAD
POSTED TONIGHT.
NOW LOOK AT THE WORDS HERE AT
THE BOTTOM.
IT'S FROM OUR DRESSING ROOM.
FIRST LEG OF A LONG NIGHT
TONIGHT.
>> OH, YEAH.
YEAH.
DAD'S EXCITED.
>> Jimmy: DAD'S ALREADY READY TO
GO HOME.
>> BUT THE BEST PART IS, HE
WALKS IN THE DRESSING ROOM.
WE'RE ALL GETTING SETTLED.
I'M GOING TO GET EVERYBODY A
BOTTLE OF WATER, AND HE GOES,
WHERE'S THE SNACKS?
YOU GOT A THUMBS UP ON THE
LITTLE CRUDITES.
>> Jimmy: WILL THEY COME TO THE
EMMIES WITH YOU?
>> YES, THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR.
THE FIRST TIME I GOT NOMINATED I
SAID HEY, GUYS, I'D LOVE YOU
GUYS TO COME TO THE EMMIES WITH
ME, AND MY MOM SAID NO, NO, I
DON'T WANT TO BE IN THE BIG
CROWD, AND MY DAD SAID HE WAS
HOLDING OUT FOR THE OSCARS.
SECOND YEAR, DO YOU WANT TO GO
TO THE EMMIES THIS YEAR?
SECOND YEAR, MOM'S LIKE, NO,
THAT'S OKAY.
DAD SAYS I'M HOLDING OUT FOR THE
OSCARS.
THIS IS LIKE THE OSCARS OF TV.
AND THEN THE FOURTH YEAR, HEY,
GUYS.
I WAS SO READY TO BE LIKE, I'D
REALLY, REALLY LIKE IT IF YOU
CAME TO THE EMMIES WITH ME THIS
YEAR.
AND BEFORE I GOT THAT OUT,
THEY'RE BOTH LIKE OH, WE'RE
GOING, WE'RE GOING.
>> Jimmy: WHAT HAPPENED?
WHAT CHANGED?
WHAT HAPPENED?
>> IT'S YOU, YOU, JIMMY.
>> YOU EMBARRASSED US.
>> Jimmy: OH, SO YOU'RE COMING
RELUCTANTLY.
>> YOU KNOW I THINK IT'S ONE OF
THOSE THINGS WHERE LIKE, THEY
BIRTHED ME.
THEY'VE SEEN EVERY STAGE
PERFORMANCE.
>> Jimmy: WELL, ONE OF THEM DID.
THE OTHER WAS CELEBRATING
NATIONAL TATER TOTS DAY THAT
DAY.
[ APPLAUSE ]
>> YEAH, YEAH.
>> Jimmy: THAT WILL BE FUN.
HOW ARE THEY WITH CELEBRITIES?
AT THE EMMIES, THEY'LL BE
SURROUNDED.
>> THEY'RE THE COOLEST.
ANYBODY THEY'VE EVER MET THAT
I'VE EVER WORKED WITH, THEY'RE
THE COOLEST.
>> Jimmy: WHO'S MOST FAMOUS
PERSON YOU'VE EVER INTRODUCED
THEM TO?
>> MAYBE SYLVESTER STALLONE.
>> Jimmy: AND THAT WENT WELL?
>> THAT WENT WELL.
>> Jimmy: YOU DIDN'T MIND
MEETING HIM?
DIDN'T TAKE TIME OUT OF YOUR
NIGHT?
>> NO.
YEAH.
>> NO, BUT ALSO, SLY, I WAS
EXCITED.
HEY, YOUR PARENTS, DID THEY COME
AS WELL?
I WAS LIKE YEAH.
I'D LOVE TO MEET THEM.
BUT THAT'S JUST SLY.
HE, YOU KNOW, AND OF COURSE, YOU
KNOW, HE AND MY DAD ARE ABOUT
THE SAME AGE AND KIND OF GAME UP
IN THE SAME TIME OF THE WORLD,
AND SO HE WAS AS EXCITED TO MEET
MY FOLKS AS MY FOLKS WERE TO
MEET HIM.
AND I WAS OFF TO THE SIDE
WATCHING.
>> Jimmy: YOUR DAD WAS IN THE
MILITARY, RIGHT?
>> MM-HM.
>> Jimmy: FOUGHT IN THE WAR,
RIGHT?
>> YEAH.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
>> Jimmy: AND SIYLVESTER STALLOE
WAS RAMBO, SO THAT'S CLOSE.
>> YEAH, VERY SIMILAR TO THE
VIETNAM ERA.
>> Jimmy: AND YOU GO ON USO
TOURS.
>> YEAH, I DO A FEW.
>> Jimmy: WHEN WAS THE LAST
TIME?
>> THIS PAST HOLIDAY FOR
CHRISTMAS I WENT ON A USO TOUR.
>> Jimmy: WHERE DID YOU?
>> IRAQ ON CHRISTMAS DAY,
AFGHANISTAN ON CHRISTMAS EVE.
WE WERE ON THE STENNIS IN THE
PERSIAN GULF.
>> Jimmy: WHAT DO YOU DO, A SHOW
WHILE YOU'RE THERE?
>> THIS ONE WAS ACTUALLY A SHOW.
MY BUDDY WAS KIND OF AN EMCEE,
AND THEN WE HAD, WE HAD, YOU
KNOW, EVERYBODY KIND OF PLAYED
THEIR ROLE.
WE HAD JESSE MAY PALOUSO DOING
COMEDY, AND A FOUR-TIME
OLYMPIAN, AND KELLIE PICKLER WAS
SINGING.
EVERYBODY LOOKS AT ME.
THEY'RE LIKE, YOU'RE AN ACTOR.
YOU'RE GOING TO ACT?
>> Jimmy: YEAH, WHAT DO YOU DO?
>> I LEANED INTO IT AND SAID
YES, I'M GOING TO ACT.
SO I GOT UP ON STAGE WHEN THIS
WAS MY TURN IN FRONT OF, YOU
KNOW, THE TROOPS, AND I SAID,
YOU KNOW, YOU FOLKS ARE ALWAYS
SO GREAT ABOUT SHOWING ME WHAT
IT IS THAT YOU DO, I THOUGHT IT
MIGHT BE FUN IF ONE OF YOU GUYS
OR GALS SAW WHAT IT IS THAT I
DO.
IS THERE ANYONE ON THE STAGE
THAT WANTS TO COME UP AND
PERFORM A SCENE FROM "THIS IS
US" WITH ME.
>> Jimmy: OKAY.
>> AND SO HANDS ARE GETTING
THROWN IN THE AIR.
GUYS AND GALS ARE RUNNING TO THE
FRONT OF THE STAGE.
THEY'D LINE UP AND I'D GET THE
TROOPS TO VOTE ON WHO THEY
WANTED AND I'D ALWAYS GET THEM
TO GO FOR THE BIGGEST DUDE, AND
I'D BRING HIM UP ON STAGE, HEY,
MAN, I'M MILO, NICE TO MEET YOU.
YOU'RE PLAYING REBECCA, WHO'S
BR
PREGNANT, IT'S MY BIRTHDAY AND
SHE'S GOING TO DO A SEXY DANCE.
I HAD A COUPLE MARINES GOING FOR
IT WITH A HIGH VOICE.
TAKE ONE OF THE BDUs AND STUFF
IT UNDER THERE, THEY'D BE
PREGNANT.
USO BANDANAS?
>> Jimmy: AND THEN YOU MAKE
LOVE?
OR HOW DOES IT END?
>> THE WATER BREAKS AND WE ARE
ON THE BAY WAY TO THE HOSPITAL.
>> Jimmy: WHEN WE COME BACK,
WE'RE GOING TO SEE A CLIP FROM
HIS NEW MOVIE "THE ART OF RACE
IN THE RAIN."
MORE WITH MILO VENTIMIGLIA AFTER
THIS.
♪
>>> EVEN BACK THEN, I KNEW I WAS
DIFFERENT THAN OTHER DOGS.
MY SOUL JUST FELT MORE HUMAN.
>> THIS ONE.
DEFINITELY THIS ONE.
>> THE PICK OF THE LITTER.
>> SHE ALWAYS SAID THAT.
>> WELL, JUST A MINUTE NOW, WE
WERE THINKING OF KEEPING HIM.
>> HE ALWAYS SAID THAT, TOO.
>> HEY.
>> Jimmy: THAT IS MILO
VENTIMIGLIA IN "THE ART OF
RACING IN THE RAIN."
OPENS AUGUST 9th.
WILL THE DOG BE AT THE PREMIERE?
>> YES.
I DON'T THINK THE PUPPIES,
THEY'RE ALL GROWN AT THIS POINT.
THEY'RE GONE.
BUT NO, WE HAD AN OLDER DOG
NAMED BUTLER WHO PLAYED THE
9-YEAR-OLD AND A 2-YEAR-OLD
NAMED PARKER WHO PLAYED THE
YOUNGER VERSION.
>> Jimmy: THEIIS IS A MOVIE ABO
DOGS WHO DRIVE CARS?
>> NO.
IT'S ABOUT A GUY WHO WEARS A
LEASH.
NO, THE FILM'S ABOUT A RACE CAR
DRIVER WHO HAS THIS DOG.
AND THE FILM TAKES PLACE OVER
THE COURSE OF THE DOG'S LIFE,
FROM PUPPY UNTIL HE'S OLD.
AND THE FILM IS NAR RATE OFFED
BY
BY THE DOG.
AS HE GOES THROUGH RACING,
MEETING HIS WIFE, HAVING A
FAMILY.
>> Jimmy: WHAT ARE THE PROBLEMS
WITH WORKING WITH A DOG OTHER
THAN THE SLOBBER.
>> THE GAS.
>> Jimmy: OH, DOGS ARE GASSY?
>> FOR ME, WHEN I WAS SPEAKING
WITH TRAINERS, I WAS LIKE I NEED
A SCENE PARTNER.
I NEED SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO
INTERACT WITH ME.
THERE WERE A FEW MOMENTS OF THE
MOVIE WHERE I'M RIGHT THERE WITH
THE DOG, LOOKING HIM IN THE EYE,
TONGUE GOES OUT, HE'S OUT.
AND THE DIRECTOR COMES OVER AND
SAYS CAN WE GET THE DOG TO LOOK
AT MILO?
AND THE TRAINER COMES OVER, YOU
ARE HIS ALPHA.
HE WON'T CHALLENGE YOU.
SO LOOK HIM IN THE CENTER OF THE
FOREHEAD, LOOK HIM IN THE EAR,
BUT DON'T LOOK HIM IN THE EYE.
THERE WERE LITTLE TRICKS LIKE
THAT.
>> Jimmy: AND THAT WORKED?
>> THAT WORKED.
I GUESS, DON'T LOOK SOMEONE IN
THE EYE.
>> Jimmy: DON'T LOOK THE DOG IN
THE EYE IF YOU ARE DOING A MOVIE
WITH THE DOG.
THIS IS GREAT ADVICE FOR KIDS AT
HOME, TOO.
>> DON'T LOOK THE DOG IN THE
EYE.
>> Jimmy: DID YOU BECOME
ATTACHED TO THE DOG?
I WOULD IMAGINE WORKING WITH A
DOG FOR A LONG TIME AND THEN
LEAVING, YOU WOULD WANT TO STEAL
THE DOG.
>> THAT WOULD BE LIKE DOG
NAPPING.
YOU DON'T DO THAT WITH YOUR
FAMILY MEMBERS.
I'M GOING TO TAKE AMANDA
SEIFRIED HOME WITH ME NOW.
NO, PARKER, THE YOUNGER DOG,
THIS DOG HAD THE MOST BEAUTIFUL
SOUL, AND HE HAD THE BEST
TEMPERAMENT, AND I WAS KIND OF
ASKING ABOUT HEIM, LIKE WHERE'S
PARKER LIVE?
WHO'S PARKER LIVE WITH?
OH, HE LIVES WITH DEB.
OKAY.
>> Jimmy: THE TRAINER?
>> ONE OF THE TRAINERS, OKAY,
COOL.
BUT I WAS DEFINITELY FISHING FOR
IF PARKER HAD A HOME OR NEEDED A
HOME.
HE WAS MY GUY.
>> Jimmy: MAYBE YOU'LL GET LUCKY
AND PARKER WILL BITE DEB AT THE
PREMIERE AND SHE'LL BE LIKE I
DON'T WANT THIS DOG ANYMORE.
>> THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.
>> Jimmy: KEVIN COSTNER PLAYS
THE CONSCIENCE OF THE DOG.
WHICH IS COOL.
HAVE YOU MET KEVIN COSTNER?
>> NEVER MET HIM.
I'VE NEVER HEARD THE VOICE OF
THE DOG
>> I HOW.
>> Jimmy: YOU MIGHT MEET HIM AT
THE PREMIERE?
>> I'M HOPING TO.
>> Jimmy: WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO
SAY?
YOU CAN'T SAY "YOU'RE MY DOG."
THAT WOULDN'T GO OVER.
>> I HAVEN'T GOTTEN THAT FAR,
BUT WHAT I'D SAY, IS IT TOO MUCH
TO BE HEY, MAN, I'M A HUGE FAN,
BECAUSE I AM.
>> Jimmy: YEAH.
>> THAT'S NOT GOING TO GO OVER?
YOU KNOW HIM.
>> Jimmy: YEAH, I DO KNOW HIM.
YEAH.
>> IS THERE ANY DIRT?
>> Jimmy: GREET HIM AS DOGS LIKE
TO BE GREETED, SNIFF HIM AROUND
THE BUTT.
>> WAG MY TAIL?
>> Jimmy: I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE
AWARE OF THIS, KEVIN WAS NOT THE
ORIGINAL CHOICE, NOT THE
ORIGINAL ACTOR ATTACHED TO THIS
PROJECT.
THERE WAS ANOTHER VERY FAMOUS
ACTOR WHO WAS ORIGINALLY SLATED
TO PLAY, WELL, LET'S, I THINK WE
HAVE A CLIP.
>> THIS ONE.
DEFINITELY THIS ONE.
>> THE PICK OF THE LITTER.
>> CHECK OUT OF THE BIG BRAIN ON
BRAD!
>> WELL, JUST A MINUTE NOW, WE
WERE THINKING OF KEEPING HIM.
>> I DON'T REMEMBER ASKING YOU A
[ BLEEP ] THING.
>> HEY.
>> I'M STILL ALIVE [ BLEEP ]!
>> Jimmy: THEY PROBABLY MADE THE
RIGHT CHOICE.
>> Jimmy: MILO VENTIMIGLIA!
"THE ART OF RACING IN THE RAIN"
OPENS AUGUST 9th.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH
ALISON BRIE.
