-Hi, Jamie. Hi, Jamie.
I guess Taron took that seat. Yeah.
How you doing, buddy? Everything --
-It's all good.
-[ Laughs ] Oh, my gosh.
-The movie isn't called "Little John."
-It's fine.
It's just usually I sit -- It's okay.
-No, that's perfect. I just -- Yeah.
Usually, just Jamie's right here.
But, yeah. It's little different, yeah.
-I just try to get --
-No. Now that's too close.
You can go there and spread out. Chill.
-No, it's all good. It's all good.
I like being all the way over here.
-Do you wanna --
-I'm just kidding. No, no.
I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding.
It's racial. Okay.
-I had you on -- [ Laughter ]
-Right.
-It's obvious! -No, it's not.
-Man, I was your man back there!
Now all of a sudden -- This is racial, man.
-That is not true. It's not true at all.
-No. Oh, my --
Oh, my -- You're taking a -- No, don't take a knee!
Don't take a knee!
That is not -- That is not what we're doing here.
-Somebody call Kap! Somebody call Kap!
-Somebody call -- Oh, my -- Somebody call Kap.
Oh, my gosh.
I'm happy you're here. I know --
Jamie, I heard this. Tell me if it's true.
You're doing stand-up again?
-I'm going back on a stand-up tour.
It's "Back on My Funny Ish."
Make sure you come check -- check it out.
But make sure you have distance when you come see me.
No, because the jokes are that funny
that if you're this close, somebody might die.
[ Laughter ]
And then they'll say, "Yo, Foxx, what happened last night?"
"I killed, literally."
-Yeah, you literally kill. Yeah. -No, but I'm going back out.
And come check it out. It's some funny stuff, man.
-Do you remember the first time --
[ Cheers and applause ]
I'm gonna check you out.
Do you remember the first time you did stand-up?
How old were you?
-The first time I did stand-up, I was in school.
I was in school, 'cause I was always sort of disruptive.
So Ms. Reeves said -- you know, like, third grade --
"I won't send you to the principal's office,
but you got to calm down.
I'll let you do stand-up on Fridays for the class."
-Wow. -So I would do stand-up.
But I would watch "The Tonight Show."
I'd watch Johnny Carson.
Because my house -- In my room was the only TV.
So I would watch whatever joke Steve Allen or Franklyn Ajaye --
whoever was telling.
And then I'd tell it at school, 'cause the kids didn't know.
They didn't have -- They had no idea.
-They didn't know Johnny Carson.
-And I think I was doing, like,
Jimmy Carter impersonations, you know.
Which I went on to do my first --
When I first went onstage, I was like 18.
I was the only black dude doing Ronald Reagan.
[ Laughter ]
-Really? -Yeah. And it was crazy.
[ As Ronald Reagan ] "Well, well, as a matter of fact.
Oh. Oh."
And I would do him as a Crip
because it was all Crips in the --
No, it was a hood club, so it was all Crips in the thing.
So I was doing [As Ronald Reagan] "I'm cripping, well."
[ Laughter ]
-I'm cripping. Oh, my God.
-If you guys were African-American,
this thing would have you laughing real hard right now.
You'd be like --
-Do you remember your first live performance?
-The first time I was onstage --
So, my mother had a copy of "Bambi" on VHS,
'cause I think it was made in like 1945 or something.
But I --
-That's when the VHS came out. Exactly.
-1945. -1945.
-But she took me to the cinema to see a sort of rerun of it.
And because I knew the songs so well,
I walked down the aisle at the point
when "Drip, drip, drop, little April showers" starting playing.
And I got on the stage and sang it to the people in the cinema.
I know.
-"Bambi" was your debut.
-Yeah. "Bambi" was my... -Walt Disney.
-...was my debut. -What was the song?
-"Drip, drip, drop." You don't know that?
-And how did that go?
[ Laughter ]
-♪ Drip, drip, drop, little April showers ♪
[ Laughter ]
-It's crazy, right?
He can -- listen, when we was working on "Robin Hood,"
the boy can absolutely sing.
-Well, both of you guys. -No, but, really, listen.
Like, I try to hold that space, but then I heard this dude sing.
I said, "Who is this in my lane?"
[ Laughter ]
You know what I'm saying? Like, that's my lane.
And we were in a church. I think it was Croatia, right?
-I think it was, yeah.
-And he started singing something.
What was that you were singing? -I can't remember.
I think it was Welsh, but I can't remember.
And my voice, it's just a little, uh...
-Come on. We can get a little.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Water there for you.
-Water right there.
Taron, Taron, Taron, Taron, Taron!
-All right, here we go. Here we go.
-See that wasn't --
-We won't look, we won't look.
We won't look. We won't look.
-This is genuinely unprepared.
This was not on the agenda.
-Really good. I like that.
-So that was a Welsh run.
And I think it might have been a bit of "Calon Lan."
It's not quite as rock 'n' roll as the Roots.
But...
-Give us a taste.
-[ Singing in Welsh ]
That's -- I'm not gonna go --
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Hey.
Hey. -Thank you very much.
Thank you. -Hey, hey.
-I mean -- -I'm telling you.
Am I right? -He can do it.
That's fantastic. -Thank you.
-'Cause I was looking at the Roots.
They was like...
And then it was like, "Oh!"
About to come in. That's great, man.
But that's just a talented person.
-Jamie you killed it on the BET Awards, hosting,
as every time I see you host.
-Thanks, man. -You can do everything, as well.
Singing, talented guy.
But I know that "Black Panther" won best movie.
-Yeah, I like to say "African-American Panther."
-Absolutely, sorry.
-That's just, you know -- That's just me.
-That's just you. -That's me protecting the brand.
-I understand. -You know what I'm saying?
I'm with you.
Let's just stay politically correct.
-Understand.
But you had a bone to pick with one --
-I did. Michael B. Jordan, who's --
I've been knowing this kid for a long time, and he --
We're about to work together and everything.
But I had the bone to pick because my style was jacked.
He jacked my style. And I just want -- I want --
I just want photo cred.
-Now, you think that he --
[ Laughter ]
-I just want my photo cred. -Yeah. I understand.
You just want a little -- -I just want my cred.
-That's all. Just want a little respect.
That's all. -Just a little respect, man.
That's "Booty Call," man, back in the day.
-Yeah, I remember. I remember "Booty Call."
-"Booty Call." -Can we talk about "Robin Hood"?
-Oh, yeah. -Dude, congrats on this.
This is a different take on the classic.
But how fun is that to play Robin Hood?
-I mean, yeah, I was the kid who was running around
with a little plastic bow and arrow.
So to be playing this role is incredibly exciting.
Especially with, you know, Jamie, it's just --
-I could imagine the set, dude.
I just want to be on set with you guys.
-No, it's great.
And we're so pleased with the movie.
It's a really fresh take on the whole thing.
It's rock 'n' roll. It's gritty. It's dark.
I hope very, very funny, as well.
And we're super proud of it. -Yeah, it is.
