>> Jimmy: VERY GOOD TO SEE YOU. >> YOU TOO, HOW YOU DOIN'? >> Jimmy: YOU KNOW, I WAS LISTENING TO YOUR ALBUM WITH MY KIDS THIS MORNING, AND WE ALL KIND OF ENJOYED IT. ONE OF THE SONGS "WISH YOU WERE GAY", I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO EXPLAIN THAT TO MY 5-YEAR-OLD, BUT SHE DIDN'T REALLY PICK UP ON IT, SO THAT WAS OKAY. HOW ARE YOU DOING? >> I'M GREAT. >> Jimmy: CONGRATULATIONS ON ALL THE AWARD NOMINATIONS YOU GOT. >> THANK YOU. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] >> Jimmy: WERE YOU UP WATCHING? OR HOW DID YOU FIND OUT? >> NO. >> Jimmy: YOU DID NOT GET UP EARLY? >> THAT WENT OFF LIKE 5:00 A.M. I'M NOT GOING TO WAKE UP WITH THAT. I STAYED. I WAS KNOCKED OUT. MY MOM CAME AND WOKE ME UP AND I WAS LIKE HALF ASLEEP. >> Jimmy: SO YOU'RE STILL LIVING WITH THE FOLKS, WITH THE PARENTS? >> YEAH. >> Jimmy: OR ARE THEY LIVING WITH YOU? WHICH IS IT >> LIKE BOTH. I'M LIVING WITH THEM AT HOME, AND ON TOUR, THEY'RE LIVING WITH ME. >> Jimmy: SO YOU ARE IN YOUR HOUSE THAT YOU GREW UP IN? >> YEAH. >> Jimmy: AND YOUR BROTHER LIVES WITH YOU? OR NO. >> HE DID UNTIL LIKE THE IEND O LAST YEARISH. BUT HE STILL COMES BACK AND LIKE -- >> Jimmy: LAUNDRY? THAT ALWAYS BRINGS THEM HOME. >> YOU DO LAUNDRY AT YOUR PARENTS' HOUSE? >> Jimmy: I HAVE OLDER CHILDREN. THEY DON'T REALLY DO LAUNDRY, BUT I ASSUME IF THEY EVER CLEAN THEIR CLOTHES THEY WOULD COME RIGHT TO MY HOUSE. >> WOW. >> Jimmy: AS FAR AS THESE NOMINATIONS, IS THIS, JUST, ARE YOU USED TO THIS BY NOW? OR DO YOU STOP AND GO, WOW, THIS IS WEIRD? >> I MEAN, THE GRAMMYS IS THE GRAMMYS, SO AS COOL AS EVERYTHING ELSE IS, IT'S THE GRAMMYS. I'VE WATCHED THAT EVERY SINGLE YEAR MY ENTIRE LIFE, LIKE JUDGING ALL THE GIRLS' UGLY-ASS DRESSES. EVERY YEAR MY FAMILY AND ME WOULD ALL SIT IN THE ROOM AND WATCH THE GRAMMYS. WE NEVER MISSED IT. THE FACT THAT I'M THE SAME LITTLE GIRL WATCHING IT IN MY LIVING ROOM, AND I'M IN THE SAME LIVING ROOM BEING NOMINATED FOR SIX, LIKE WHAT IS THAT? >> Jimmy: ARE YOUR PARENTS GOING TO GO WITH YOU TO THE SHOW? >> MM-HM. >> Jimmy: YOU'RE DOING THE AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS. >> ON SUNDAY. >> Jimmy: THAT'S YOUR FIRST AWARD SHOW PERFORMANCE. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] I'M WONDERING ABOUT THIS. THIS IS A SITUATION WHERE YOU ARE AL HAVE ALL OF THESE ARTISTS ON STAGE. DO YOU FEEL COMPETITIVE WITH THEM, LIKE I'M GOING TO GO OUT THERE, MY PERFORMANCE IS GOING TO BE THE BEST PERFORMANCE OF ALL OF THEM? >> IT'S LIKE ALMOST, BUT IT'S MORE LIKE A COMPETITIVENESS WITH MYSELF. >> Jimmy: WITH YOURSELF, RIGHT. >> IF THAT MAKES SENSE. I GO UP THERE TO LIKE BE BETTER THAN MYSELF. >> Jimmy: MM-HM. >> KNOW WHAT I MEAN? >> Jimmy: I TOTALLY KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN. >> IT'S WEIRD, I'M LIKE IN THIS WHOLE WORLD. >> Jimmy: I DO KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, BECAUSE I'VE BEEN IN SITUATIONS WHERE THERE HAVE BEEN A BUNCH OF COMEDIANS ON, AND YOU ALWAYS WANT TO BE THE BEST ONE. DOESN'T MEAN YOU DON'T WANT THE OTHER ONES TO NOT BE GOOD. >> RIGHT, TO NOT BE GOOD. IT'S LIKE THE WHOLE UNIVERSE IS TRYING TO PIT EVERY ARTIST AGAINST EACH OTHER. IT'S SO WEIRD. >> Jimmy: AND SOME PEOPLE THINK THAT WAY. >> MM-HM. >> Jimmy: YOU DON'T. >> I DON'T. >> Jimmy: ARE YOU 17 YEARS OLD, BY IS CRAZY THAT YOU'RE THIS SUCCESSFUL AT 17 YEARS OLD. I THINK BACK TO MYSELF AT 17. WHEN I WAS 17, PERHAPS THE GREATEST YEAR IN AMERICAN HISTORY, 1984. EXPERTS AGREE, RIGHT? AND I WAS WONDERING IF I COULD GO -- >> WHO WAS BORN AFTER THAT IN THIS ROOM? >> Jimmy: AFTER 1983? [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] IS THAT YOUR NICE WAY OF REMINDING ME HOW CLOSE I AM TO DEATH? YOU KNOW WHO MADONNA IS? >> I DO KNOW WHO MADONNA IS. >> Jimmy: CAN YOU NAME A VAN HALEN? >> WHO? >> Jimmy: I'M GOING TO START CRYING. HAVE YOU HEARD OF CYNDI LAUPER? >> YES. >> Jimmy: HUEY LEWIS? >> NO. >> Jimmy: FILL IN THE BLANK. RUN DM -- >> WHAT? WHAT IS THAT? >> Jimmy: IT SOUNDS LIKE A DIRECT MESSAGE WHILE YOU'RE DRIVING NOW. RUN DMC. GREAT HIP-HOP GROUP. HAVE YOU EVER SEEN "THE COSBY SHOW"? >> NO. >> Jimmy: WOW, HAVE YOU EVER PLAYED WITH A CABBAGE PATCH KID? >> A CABBAGE PATCH KID? >> Jimmy: IN 1984 -- >> IT'S LIKE A SOUR PATCH KID? IS IT A CANDY? >> Jimmy: IT WAS A DOLL. YOUR PARENTS WOULD GO TO THE MALL AND FIGHT OTHER PARENTS FOR THESE. >> WOW. >> Jimmy: AND THEY'D BRING THEM HOME AND PROVE HOW THEY LOVED YOU. WHAT DID MR. T PITY? >> WHAT IS THAT QUESTION? >> Jimmy: THE POINT IS, I'M TRYING TO MAKE A POINT THAT YOU'RE YOUNGER THAN I AM. CAN YOU NAME ANY OF THE ORIGINAL "GHOSTBUSTERS"? >> I DON'T THINK I'VE SEEN IT. >> Jimmy: WHAT SHOULD YOU NEVER DO TO A GREMLIN AFTER MIDNIGHT? >> YOU'RE MAKING ME LOOK SO DUMB. >> Jimmy: IT'S NOT A MATTER OF BEING DUMB. IF YOU ASK ME QUESTIONS ABOUT 1943, I PROBABLY WOULDN'T KNOW THE ANSWERS EITHER. >> WELL, GREAT. YOU'RE TURNING 18 NEXT MONTH. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO? IS THERE A BIG PARTY PLANNED? IS SOMEBODY ELSE RESPONSIBLE? >> I HAVE SOME IDEAS OF STUFF, BUT IT'S PRETTY LIKE, MY LIFE STUFF. BUT THE MAIN THING I'M EXCITED ABOUT IS BEING ABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR PAST 11:00. >> Jimmy: THAT'S THE LAW? YOU CAN'T DRIVE AFTER 11:00? >> YEAH, IF YOU, YOU HAVE TO EITHER HAVE HAD YOUR LICENSE FOR A WHOLE YEAR OR BE 18. >> Jimmy: OH. >> AND I WAS SO BUSY, I MEAN, MY LIFE WAS PRETTY CRAZY THE LAST COUPLE YEARS. SO I GOT TO IT A LITTLE BIT LATE, EVEN THOUGH IT'S SOMETHING I REALLY WANTED TO DO MY ENTIRE LIFE. ALL I WANTED TO DO WAS DRIVE. ALL I WANTED TO DO WAS DRIVE. >> Jimmy: DO YOU HAVE A CAR? >> I DO. >> Jimmy: DO YOU DRIVE SAFELY? [ LAUGHTER ] DO YOUR PARENTS TRACK YOU LIKE ON THEIR PHONE? >> I DRIVE FUN-LY. >> Jimmy: DO YOUR PARENTS TRACK YOU. >> HELL NO. >> Jimmy: DO YOU LIKE SPEND MONEY ON THINGS? CAN YOU GO TO THE SENATOR >> NO, I'M GOING TO TELL MYSELF IF, I'LL GET TOTALLY MOBBED IF I GO TO CVS. IF YOU'RE IN A PLACE THAT DAY WHERE YOU FEEL NOT IN THE MOOD, THAT'S WHEN IT JUST DRIVES YOU, BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO PUT YOUR PLACE IN THE PLACE OF I'M FINE. I'M HAPPY. A COUPLE WEEKS AGO I KIND OF DECIDED TO START LIVING LIKE I JUST WOKE UP, AND THIS WAS MY LIFE. >> Jimmy: OH, OKAY, I SEE. >> NO , IN A GOOD WAY. IF I WAS MY 12 YEAR OLD SELF AND I SUDDENLY WOKE UP AND THIS WAS MY LIFE, WHAT WOULD I BE LIKE OH, MY GOD, I'M TAKING FOR GRANTED I'VE BEEN TRYING TO LIVE LIKE THAT LATELY. >> Jimmy: THAT'S A GREAT WAY OF LOOKING AT IT. DID YOU COME UP WITH IT YOURSELF OR DID SOMEBODY ADVISE YOU AND TELL YOU TO THINK ABOUT IT LIKE THAT? >> NO, I CAME UP WITH IT BY MYSELF. SPORTY SPICE WAS TALKING TO ME, AND SHE WAS SAYING -- I DON'T WANT TO SAY IF, I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S A SECRET OR WHATEVER. BUT WHEN SHE WAS ON STAGE WITH ALL THE GIRLS AND THEY WERE ALL SMILING AT EACH OTHER AND SHE WAS SAYING IT WAS A MAGICAL MOMENT. AT THE BEGINNING AND THE MIDDLE, IT'S LIKE YOU WORK, WORK, WORK, WORK, AND IT'S HUGE, HUGE, HUGE, AND THEN IT'S DONE, AND IT'S LIKE OH. WHERE DID THAT GO? AND I JUST THOUGHT ABOUT THAT OH, MY GOD, I'M IN THAT PART OF MY LIFE THAT IN THE FUTURE I'M GOING TO BE LIKE, DAMN, I WISH I'D BEEN, WHATEVER. SO I'M GOING TO TRY TO BE AS PRESENT AS POSSIBLE. >> Jimmy: THIS IS GOOD. THIS IS A GOOD THING. NOW YOU'RE GOING TO GET TO ENJOY SOME COMMERCIALS. AND WHEN WE COME BACK, WE'LL TALK MORE WITH BILLIE EILISH. WE'RE BACK WITH BILLIE EILISH WHO WILL BE ON THE AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS ON SUNDAY. YOU'RE GOING ON TOUR STARTING IN MIAMI, STARTING MARCH 9th, AND ALSO THIS IS THE ALBUM, IT'S CALLED, WELL, YOU PROBABLY ALREADY HAVE IT. IT'S THE "WHERE DO WE ALL GO WHEN WE SLEEP" TOUR. WHEN YOU ARE THIS AGE AND YOU'RE DOING WORK AS YOU ARE DOING. >> MM-HM. >> Jimmy: YOU, BECAUSE YOU REALLY GROW SO MUCH AS AN ARTIST, REALLY, IN A LOT OF WAYS AT YOUR AGE, DO YOU LOOK BACK AT THINGS YOU DID TWO YEARS AGO AND GO, OH, BOY, I WISH I COULD DO THAT OVER AGAIN? DO YOU THINK OF IT THAT WAY? >> NO. >> Jimmy: YOU DO NOT? >> I'LL PROBABLY FEEL THAT WAY IN A COUPLE YEARS FROM NOW. >> AND I LOOK AT VIDEOS FROM TWO YEARS AGO, IT'S REALLY, LIKE IT'S GROSS. >> Jimmy: THAT'S WHAT I WAS SAYING. >> IT'S GROSS. LIKE I DID THIS THING WITH VANITY FAIR WHERE I DID THE SAME INTERVIEW TWO YEARS APART. IT WAS LIKE ONE YEAR, IT WAS 2017. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] 2018. AND THEN WE SHOT THE OTHER ONE, OR THE THIRD, THIRD YEAR, WHICH IS ACTUALLY TWO YEARS LATER, A COUPLE WEEKS AGO, AND I HAD TO WATCH BACK ALL THESE THINGS I'D NEVER SEEN FROM WHEN I WAS 15. LIKE, IT'S LIKE, OH. >> Jimmy: WELL, IT'S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT. >> IF I MET ME THEN NOW, I WOULD PUNCH THAT GIRL IN THE FACE. >> Jimmy: I THINK THAT'S A POSITIVE. IF YOU'RE NOT LOOKING BACK AT THINGS LIKE THAT, YOU'RE NOT GROWING IN ANY WAY. >> YES, TOTALLY, TOTALLY. >> Jimmy: SO THE AMAs, THIS SHOW, IS THERE ANYONE THERE, AN ARTIST THERE THAT YOU'VE NOT MET THAT YOU ARE EXCITED TO MEET? >> I GENERALLY DON'T KNOW WHO'S GOING TO BE THERE. >> Jimmy: YOU DON'T? >> I DON'T. >> Jimmy: JESSIE REYES IS GOING TO BE ON THE SHOW, HOW DO YOU KNOW EACH OTHER? >> I FOUND HER MUSIC WHEN I WAS LIKE 13 AND BECAME A FAN OF IT. AND THEN YEARS LATER, AFTER I HAD MUSIC OUT AND STUFF, I REALIZED THAT, I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER HOW IT STARTED, BUT I HEARD THIS SONG "GATEKEEPER" THAT SHE HAS, AND IT BLEW MY MIND. AND I REMEMBER -- >> Jimmy: DID YOU REACH OUT TO HER? >> I JUST POSTED THE SONG ON MY ACTUAL ACCOUNT AND WAS LIKE, THIS IS THE MOST INCREDIBLE THING I'VE EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE. WE GOT TOGETHER AND GOT ALONG REALLY WELL. WE WENT OUT A COUPLE TIMES, WROTE A SONG TOGETHER, WROTE ANOTHER SONG, YEAH, WE'RE JUST FRIENDS. SHE'S LIKE ONE OF THE MOST TALENTED. SHE'S PROBABLY THE BEST WRITER I'VE EVER MET BESIDES MY BROTHER. >> Jimmy: IF YOU'D LIKE, YOU CAN INTRODUCE HER AT THE END OF THE SHOW. YOU CAN STICK AROUND. IT'S GREAT TO HAVE YOU HERE. WE'RE GOING TO SEE YOU ON TV, AND ON TOUR. BILLIE EILISH, EVERYBODY.
