-This is what I like about
watching your show.
It looks like it's so much fun,
that you're having
so much fun together.
And I want to, like,
hang out with you guys.
Because I go,
"That is the best.
I can't believe this is a show."
-Our job is literally --
My job is every morning wake up
and discuss the news with, like,
my best friend over drugs.
So, you know.
-It's so much fun.
It's actually dope because
we are still kind of shocked
that we have a TV show.
-Every morning you wake up
and you're just like...
-Yeah, like, yo, here,
go do a TV show.
-"Oh, this is really real?"
-A Suburban's gonna pick you up
in front of your house
and take you to a TV studio.
You're gonna do a TV show.
I was like, "Are you serious?"
-It sounded like
some sort of scam,
like, a lottery scam
or something.
-It's like WakeUpNow
but, like, for TV.
I was like,
"I don't trust this."
-When we first got there --
-"I don't trust this."
-"Something's going on."
-"I don't trust my own life."
-When we first
got to the studio,
we thought the cops
were going to be there
and they were, like,
checking warrants.
Like, one of those scams.
-So the whole thing was a scam.
The whole thing was a bust.
-Yes.
-Yeah. Like a sting.
It's a sting operation.
-Do you like getting famous?
-It's pretty dope to walk around
Target and people are like,
"Yo, you're that guy
from that thing.
You got the show with the guy,
right?
On the channel
that nobody knows?"
-The thing about getting famous,
no one gives you manual,
so you don't know how to do it.
We were coming in here,
and this guy ran up.
He was like,
"Hey, who are you guys?"
-"Who are you guys?"
-I was like, "Uh, Led Zeppelin?
I don't know.
Leave me alone."
-Led Zeppelin.
That's such a good one.
-Rob Plant in the building.
-Did he believe --
That was a good one, yeah.
-He just was like, "No,
you're not Led Zeppelin."
-"You guys, you're lying to me."
-"Stop lying to me, Questlove."
-"You're pulling my leg."
-Questlove.
-Yeah.
"I know you.
You're Jaden Smith."
-[ Laughs ]
-I'm like, "No."
-You're Jaden --
-Yeah, I'll take it.
-But how did you guys
end up together?
You guys have been friends
forever?
-We met in summer school,
but, like, you know, as a --
-Summer school is a great place
to meet someone.
-Exactly.
-It's a great place
to meet people
until you realize you're
in summer school and it's summer
and you're still in school
and everyone else is outside
playing basketball like,
"Hey, stupid.
Should've done better
on your grades."
-Yo. Should have studied
for math [bleep]
-Are you double-Dutching?
What were you doing?
-Doing a crossover.
-What was that?
-That was a crossover.
-Oh, you're playing basketball.
Okay, yeah, I thought
you were jump-roping.
I'm like, "That's the dudes
you hung out with?"
"Yo, man."
-Yo.
-Yo, man, get out.
-Yeah.
-Suckers!
-Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[Bleep]
-Go, Jimmy, go, Jimmy!
-[Bleep] [bleep] [bleep] [bleep]
-Go, Jimmy! Go, Jimmy!
Go, Jimmy!
-Yeah, all the goons on
the block were double-Dutching.
-All the tough dudes
jump-roping.
-Yo, son.
-Yo, son.
You double-handed?
What you doing?
-What you doing out here?
You got tricks? What's good?
-"You got tricks?"
-How do you find the news that
you talk about on your show?
-It just -- It comes to us.
You know how technology is,
guys.
You're on your phone right now.
You just saw something
on Twitter.
You were like...
-They took our phones away.
-Oh, they did?
-Yeah, no phone. Yeah.
-People at home.
-Why you rubbing it in?
I haven't checked my messages
in like 20 minutes.
-It's like Drake's house.
-Now we're never going
to Drake's house.
-Now you're not invited
to Drake's house.
-Oh, he's watching this like,
"Really, Mero?"
-Come on, man.
Why'd you do me like that, man?
-The news is just -- Back in the
day, you had to tune in at 7:00.
Now the news is constant.
When you get out of here,
you're going to probably
find out something happened.
And you're just like,
"It's been three hours.
How did that happen?"
We're at war with some country
we don't know even about.
We bombed Bosnia or something.
-"Where is Czechosloburbia?
I don't even know where it is."
-Like, how do we
have beef with them?
-Czechosloburbia. That's great.
-I'm like, "What?"
-If I give you some topics,
can I just hear
what your takes on them?
-Of course.
-We didn't plan any of this out.
-We got the most fuego takes
on the planet.
-Fuego.
-Fuego means they're hot.
They're uncooked,
and they're not based on facts.
-Not at all.
-Here we go. That's good.
So this is Shark Week.
What are your thoughts
on Shark Week?
Michael Phelps
just raced a shark.
-Michael Phelps just --
-I want you to understand this.
Michael Phelps raced a shark
and almost won.
-But it wasn't --
Nah, he "raced" a shark,
but they weren't
in the same pool.
-Oh, they weren't?
-That's what I want.
I want to see them in
the same pool, the same lane.
-Oh, yeah, yeah.
Put them in the same pool.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Matter of fact,
throw a little ketchup in there
before the race starts,
really make it funky.
-Really swim fast.
-We're gonna put chum
in the water before the race.
-Shaking it up.
-You guys are so cruel.
You're trying to kill
Michael Phelps.
-Only if he loses.
-That's true.
You're right. You're right.
He's got a shot.
50/50, yeah.
-Swim for your life.
-What do you think of
O.J. Simpson getting paroled?
-The Juice is loose.
You know what I'm saying?
But I feel like his time
has passed.
-That used to be
a colorful phrase.
Like, "The Juice is loose."
Now it's scary.
Your kid comes in the room like,
"Mommy, Daddy,
the Juice is loose."
-"The Juice! The Juice!
He's out here."
-"The Juice under my bed."
-Yeah.
-Yo, listen, I'm giving O.J.
like maybe three months
before he's doing
cash-for-gold commercials.
You know what I'm saying?
-No, O.J. could be two-stepping
on "Dancing with the Stars."
-I'm telling you.
It's gonna happen.
-Yeah, all right.
That's good.
All right.
Oh, this one's good.
I just got a fermenting pot.
I'm going to start making
my own pickles.
-Wow! That is the whitest thing
I've heard all week.
[ Laughter ]
That is incredible.
Wow, that is incredible.
-Where do you even buy
a fermenting pot at?
I'm now learning that there are
a whole strip of stores
black people don't know about.
You can buy fermenting pots?
-Yeah.
-What do you do with that?
-You put, like,
a brine or vinegar
and then you put cucumbers in
and you make pickles.
-How long does it take?
-I don't know.
I'm getting into it.
I want to know your take
on what you think of that.
-You can't buy pickles?
[ Laughter ]
That's not a real hobby.
-I can buy pickles.
-I just --
I figured I'd make them.
I don't know.
-Why?
Just for fun?
-I can name you like five
other hobbies, man.
-You're rich, Jimmy.
-Act like it.
-Buy pickles!
[ Laughter ]
-Buy a couple pouches.
-We were all going to hang out
with you after the show,
and I don't want to call
some chick like --
She's like,
"What are y'all doing?"
Y'all at Jimmy's house?"
I'm like, "We making pickles."
-"Making pickles."
-"Yeah, Jimmy got
some mason jars.
It's wild over here."
-"It's crazy."
-We're making pickles.
-"No, we can't FaceTime.
It's too wild.
It's too wild."
-"I got Brian on the phone.
I got to get off."
-"Ciao, ciao. Bye."
-How do you feel being
on "The Tonight Show"?
What are your thoughts?
-This is wild.
This is "The Tonight Show."
[ Cheers and applause ]
This is "The Tonight Show."
-This is bananas.
This is like --
-This used to be
in black and white.
-What's that?
-This used to be
in black and white, right?
-Yeah.
-Sure, why not?
-Johnny Carson.
-I think we just had bad TVs
back in the day.
-Oh, that's true.
-No, this is so iconic.
This is like --
It hasn't really hit us yet.
But it's gonna be like
tomorrow, I'm gonna have
the wild attitude,
and I'll walk down
my block like, "I was
on 'The Tonight Show.'"
And they'll be like,
"I don't care."
-No, no, please. We did it, and
you scored, and that's why --
You have such a great show,
and we love you guys.
So we're fans.
Thank you for coming on.
Appreciate it.
Come back.
Congratulations.
Congratulations.
I'll call you.
We'll make some pickles
sometime.
