-I always enjoy seeing you. We -- We --
You remember, I brought my daughter here
when she was, I think, six months old.
She was -- -Uberbaby, yeah.
-A teeny, teeny baby.
And now she's three and a half years old.
-Is she three and a half?
-And your kids are four and five, I think?
-That's right.
-And here's the thing I noticed this week.
You got to be careful not to get too excited around children.
[ Light laughter ]
Well, they big-time you.
-What do you mean?
-This week -- This week my daughter goes,
"I have octopus underwear."
And I go, "Octopus underwear?"
And she goes, "Yeah."
[ Laughter ]
She big-timed me.
I was like, "Oh, I got to pull it back."
-You got to pull it back.
Got too excited about the octopus underwear.
What, octopus!
-And you were giving me --
I was hitting you up for a recommendation backstage
for an orthopedic doctor.
She -- Her knees hurt this week. -Yeah.
-So we took her to an orthopedic doctor yesterday.
And she's very verbal.
And so -- and so they're like --
doctor's like, "How do your knees feel?"
She goes -- She goes, "My knees, the back of my knees hurt.
And it's my grandma's birthday.
And I like chocolate chip ice cream."
And I was like -- I was like,
"Oh, that's way too many things as the answer."
And then I realize, "Oh, she doesn't get that you're
not just supposed to say everything."
-Yeah, no. You just --
-Then I was like, "Oh, that's what I do."
I say -- I say way too much.
And that's why I have these shows.
[ Laughter ]
-That's correct. You have -- This one
is called "The New One." -Yeah.
-This one is at the Cort Theatre.
I gotta say, it's getting rave reviews.
Congratulations. -Thanks.
-This is -- how does it feel to be on Cort?
-Well, first of all, I haven't seen you there.
You know, you're in the Rockefeller Center.
It's across the street. It's on 48th Street.
And I haven't seen you over at the show.
I made a map of how far --
Where -- How do I get this on the camera?
This is how far --
[ Laughter and applause ]
This is how far away. -Yeah.
-So, it's not far, right? -No.
Where am I again? -So, you're here.
-Where are we?
[ Talking over each other ]
-You're there. -Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
-And then 0.2 miles, right there, is the Cort Theatre.
-Oh, man. -And then it says --
If you look closely, it says, "Mostly flat."
[ Laughter ]
Mostly flat. So, I don't know if --
-Yeah, I got to make it over there.
-You have an elevation issue.
It should be fine. -Should be fine.
-Yeah. No, I --
-I'd love to see you there. But --
-Would you really love to see me there?
Not really. -I would enjoy it, yeah.
-No. -Well, you know,
old Jimmy would have made it there.
[ Laughter ]
No. There's been many phases of Jimmy.
You got "SNL" Jimmy. He would have been there in a second.
-Yeah, that's true. -You got "Late Night" Jimmy.
-Yeah. -He was all about it.
-Yeah.
-"Tonight Show" Jimmy has changed.
[ Laughter ]
Come on, Ahmir, let's be honest about --
about "Tonight Show" Jimmy.
[ Light laughter ]
-Yeah, yeah, yeah. -He's changed.
He's changed. -Totally different person.
-You were on board for "Sleepwalk With Me."
You were on board with "Thank God For Jokes."
You were on board for "My Girlfriend's Boyfriend."
I haven't seen you at "The New One."
-I haven't seen any of those shows --
-Jimmy. -At all --
[ Laughter ]
"Sleepwalk With Me." Yeah, of course.
Honestly, people are saying that this is your best one.
-That's really -- Yeah. -And that's a good thing.
-Well, I'm proud of it. And I'm --
Well, it's funny. I'm right across the street.
I'm in -- -I get it.
[ Laughter and applause ]
I promise, I love you.
You know, I'm a big fan.
-I'm in a -- I'm in --
I come for coffee downstairs at Rockefeller Center, every day.
I'm not kidding, before the show.
It's my ritual that I go to this place called Blue Bottle.
I love the coffee. -Oh, I like their coffee.
-And a couple weeks ago, I was going in every day.
And I'm thinking they know that I'm doing a show
across the street. And then one day,
this guy who I see every day,
he goes, "You heading back to work?"
And I'm like, "Yeah, heading back to work."
You know, he knows about the show.
And he goes, "Where do you work?"
[ Laughter ]
Oh. -Oh, you don't know.
-Well, across the street.
There's this show at the Cort Theatre.
He goes, "Who wrote it?"
[ Laughter ]
I go, "I wrote it."
Then he -- No, this gets worse.
This story actually gets worse.
It's completely embarrassing. -He had no idea.
-I barely, barely should be telling this on the show.
It's too embarrassing. He goes, "Who wrote it?"
I go, "I wrote it." He goes, "Who is in it?"
[ Laughter ]
It gets worse. It gets worse.
-One-man show. -It's a one-man show.
And then I thought, "Okay, I'll make this right."
I go, "Maybe he will like the show."
I go, "Hey, maybe you'd like the show.
I'll -- If you write down in my phone, your number,
my assistant will get you tickets."
He goes, "I'm not comfortable
putting my number in your phone."
[ Fog horn ]
I swear to God.
[ Unintelligible ]
-That's pretty bad. -Okay, okay.
I'm like -- and I realize I'm the opposite of Oprah.
I'm like -- literally, I'm like, "Look under your chair."
He's like, "I'm not comfortable looking under my chair."
-That's pretty creepy.
Yeah, you go like, "Just give me your phone number."
He goes, "I'm cool, man. No problem."
