HELLO. >> Jimmy: HELLO TO YOU, HOW ARE YOU, HOW'S LIFE? >> LIFE IS GOOD. >> Jimmy: GOOD, GOOD. >> YEAH. >> Jimmy: YOU'RE NOMINATED FOR -- HOW LONG AGO WAS IT YOU WON AN OSCAR FOR "MONSTER"? >> 16 YEARS AGO. >> Jimmy: WOW. I DON'T THINK WE HAD iPHONES BACK THEN, NO, THAT WAS A LONG TIME AGO. >> Jimmy: YOU DIDN'T HAVE CHILDREN BACK THEN. >> I DID NOT HAVE CHILDREN. HERE'S THE DIFFERENCE. WHEN I GOT MY NOMINATION FOR THAT ONE, THEY DO IT REALLY EARLY, LIKE 5:00. I WAS STILL SLEEPING UNTIL LIKE 10:30. >> Jimmy: REALLY. >> YEAH, YEAH. I REMEMBER THOSE DAYS WHEN YOU COULD STILL SLEEP TILL 10:30. >> Jimmy: VAGUELY, VAGUELY. >> NOT ANYMORE. NOW THIS NOMINATION I WAS -- I WAS DEALING WITH TWO SETS OF PEE SHEETS, YOU KNOW? >> Jimmy: YOU WET THE BED? >> I'M DIAPER TRAINING MY 4-YEAR-OLD, TRYING TO GET HER OUT OF HER NIGHT DIAPERS. >> Jimmy: OH, BOY, YEAH. >> IT WAS A ROUGH NIGHT, YEAH. >> Jimmy: WE HAD A ROUGH NIGHT LAST NIGHT, VERY SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES GOING ON, EXCEPT WORSE. YEAH. YEAH. >> OH. >> Jimmy: YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING. >> YEAH, YEAH, I GET IT. OH, NO, I'VE NEVER HAD TO DEAL WITH THAT. >> Jimmy: YOU NEVER HAVE, REALLY? WOW. WELL. I MEAN, IT'S A DISGUSTING TOPIC, I'M SORRY TO EVEN BRING IT UP. >> NO, IT'S VERY REAL. >> Jimmy: DO THE KIDS KNOW YOU'RE NOMINATED ABOUT THESE AWARDS? >> YES. >> Jimmy: YES. >> YOU KNOW, IT'S BEEN A THRILLING COUPLE OF WEEKS. I WAS NOMINATED FOR A GOLDEN GLOBE. >> Jimmy: RIGHT. >> I WAS NOMINATED FOR A CRITIC'S CHOICE. YES, YES. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] REALLY AMAZING. >> Jimmy: LIKE IS IT OKAY TO BE ENTHUSIASTIC? >> YES, YES. PLEASE BE. BECAUSE MY CHILDREN AREN'T. >> Jimmy: THEY AREN'T, OKAY. >> SO PLEASE. SPOILER ALERT, I DIDN'T WIN. >> Jimmy: RIGHT, YES, YES. DID YOU TELL THEM THAT? >> YOU GUYS SOUND LIKE THEM. THAT WAS KIND OF THE REACTION, YEAH. THEY WERE -- IT WAS A MIXTURE OF SUPER SAD AND ALSO KIND OF ANGRY. >> Jimmy: REALLY? >> LIKE -- YOU DIDN'T WIN? LIKE -- KIND OF LIKE -- YEAH, THEY WERE UPSET. THE LITTLE ONE WAS LIKE, I REALLY WANT YOU TO WIN! LIKE ANGRY. AND THE OTHER, MY 8-YEAR-OLD, WAS JUST LIKE, JUST PURE DISAPPOINTMENT, YOU KNOW? AND SO WHEN THE OSCAR NOMINATIONS CAME IN IT WAS LIKE, YOU KNOW, THE THIRD TIME THAT THEY WERE LIKE, NOW THEY'RE SUSPICIOUS. THEY'RE JUST LIKE -- WILL YOU WIN THIS TIME? THERE'S A GOOD SHOT I'M PROBABLY NOT GOING TO WIN. AND MY OLDEST JUST WENT, WELL, THIS SOUNDS LIKE A WASTE OF TIME. [ LAUGHTER ] >> Jimmy: HAVE YOU FIGURED OUT LIKE YOUR PLAN FOR THE OSCARS? WHO YOU WILL BRING? WILL YOU BRING A DATE TO THE OSCARS? >> YES, I'M TAKING -- I USUALLY TAKE MY MOM. IT'S USUALLY A MOM/DAUGHTER NIGHT. >> Jimmy: GOTCHA. >> SHE'S FUN. >> Jimmy: ARE YOU STILL WATCHING "THE BACHELOR"? >> YES. >> Jimmy: YOU ARE. DO YOU LIKE THIS SEASON SO FAR? >> YES, IT'S REALLY GOOD, DON'T YOU THINK IT'S GOOD? >> Jimmy: WELL, YOU KNOW. NONE OF THEM ARE REALLY GOOD. [ LAUGHTER ] >> WAIT. EXPLAIN THAT TO ME. HOW CAN YOU SAY SUCH A THING? >> Jimmy: WELL, BECAUSE IT'S A HUGE WASTE OF TIME. [ LAUGHTER ] IT'S SIMILAR TO WHAT YOUR KIDS WERE SAYING. >> GOT IT. >> Jimmy: I SOMETIMES LOOK AT ALL THE HOURS THAT I'VE LOGGED WATCHING THE SHOW. >> YES, YES. >> Jimmy: AND I THINK ABOUT THE LANGUAGES I COULD HAVE LEARNED TO SPEAK. >> LET'S BE HONEST. THAT WAS NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN ANYWAY. >> Jimmy: YOU KNOW, THAT'S TRUE. >> SO YOU MIGHT AS WELL HAVE SOMETHING THAT YOU ENJOY. >> Jimmy: RIGHT. IT WAS -- >> BE HONEST. >> Jimmy: I LIKE TO THINK OF IT JUST TO PUNISH MYSELF FOR WATCHING THE SHOW. >> OH, IT'S SO GOOD. >> Jimmy: MAYBE EVEN WORSE OF ALL, RARELY IS THERE A RELATIONSHIP AT THE END. YET WE CONTINUE. WE CONTINUE TO BUY INTO IT. >> YES. >> Jimmy: IT'S LIKE, IF LIKE ON "JEOPARDY!" NOBODY EVER WON ANY MONEY. >> YOU REALLY SOUND LIKE JACKSON MARS ERIN, MY 8-YEAR-OLD, YEAH, YEAH. >> Jimmy: THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE SAY TO ME A LOT. >> A WASTE OF TIME. IT IS TRUE, NONE OF THOSE RELATIONSHIPS -- THERE'S SOME OF THEM, THEY HAVE KIDS NOW AND STUFF, SO SOME OF THEM. I DIDN'T WATCH THOSE. NOT AS RELIDGE HUSBANDLY AS I WATCH THE TRAIN WRECKS. >> Jimmy: REALLY, DID SOME OF THEM -- I THINK ONE COUPLE. >> NO, THERE'S A FEW. >> Jimmy: THE FIRST ONE, TRISTA AND RYAN. >> ONE OF THEM MIGHT BE FROM LIKE "PARADISE." >> Jimmy: OH, THAT DOESN'T COUNSELED. "THE "BACHELOR IN PARADISE."" >> COME ON, THEY GOT MARRIED AND HAVE A KID, THAT'S HUGE ACCOMPLISHMENT. >> Jimmy: MIGHT AS WELL PUT A CAMERA IN A MOTEL AT SPRING BREAK. >> TRUE. TRUE. >> Jimmy: THEN CELEBRATE -- >> AND YOUR PROBLEM IS WHAT? >> Jimmy: YOU REALLY LIKE IT, THOUGH. >> I DO, I REALLY LIKE IT, YEAH. >> Jimmy: WHAT IS IT YOU LOVE ABOUT THE SHOW? >> WELL, I LOVE THE UNPREDICTABILITY. >> Jimmy: UH-HUH. >> I LOVE THAT -- >> Jimmy: WHAT? THE UNPREDICTABILITY? MY WIFE LITERALLY PICKS THE WINNER THE FIRST EPISODE. >> NO. >> Jimmy: EVERY SINGLE YEAR. >> LISTEN, EVEN IF I HAD THAT SKILL, AND I DON'T, IT KIND OF RUINS THE SHOW, THOUGH, DON'T YOU THINK? YOU WANT TO KIND OF -- YOU ALMOST HAVE TO GIVE YOURSELF A SMALL LOBOTOMY SO YOU DON'T PICK IT, THEN YOU CAN ENJOY IT. IF YOU PICK IT IT'S KIND OF DONE, RIGHT? >> Jimmy: YOU DON'T KNOW FOR SURE YOU'RE GOING TO BE RIGHT, YOU'RE OKAY, MAYBE I'LL BE RIGHT, MAYBE I WON'T BE RIGHT, THAT'S PART OF THE FUN. >> LISTEN, RIGHT NOW THEY'RE ALL WINNERS IN MY BOOK, THEY ALL HAVE A SHOT, THEY ALL HAVE A SHOT. >> Jimmy: WHAT'S THE WORST DATE YOU EVER WENT ON? >> OH GOD. >> Jimmy: WITHOUT GETTING TOO DISGUSTING OR TERRIBLE. >> SO I WENT ON A DATE IN MY 20s WITH THIS GUY WHO WAS REALLY SUPER HANDSOME. I WAS REALLY INTO IT. HE PICKED ME UP FOR DINNER. IT WAS LOVELY. I WAS LIKE, THIS IS GOING REALLY WALL. AND HE DROVE ME HOME. AND, YOU KNOW, I KIND OF SIGNALED THAT I WAS IN FOR A KISS. LIKE IF HE WANTED -- YOU KNOW, YOU DO THAT THING WHERE IT'S LIKE, YEAH. >> Jimmy: SO I'VE HEARD, YEAH. [ LAUGHTER ] >> THIS MIGHT EXPLAIN YOUR PROBLEM WITH "THE BACHELOR." ANYWAY. >> Jimmy: MIGHT EXPLAIN A LOT OF MY PROBLEMS, YEAH. >> I GET IT, I GET IT. HE PULLED OVER BY MY HOUSE. AND WE STARTED KISSING. AND IT WAS REALLY GOOD. AND THEN HE PULLED AWAY AND WHISPERED, "MAKE OUT WITH MY NOSE." >> Jimmy: MAKE OUT WITH MY NOSE? [ LAUGHTER ] AND -- AND HE WASN'T -- THIS WASN'T A JOKE? [ APPLAUSE ] MAKE OUT WITH MY NOSE? [ LAUGHTER ] WHAT? [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> I SWEAR ON MY LIFE. I -- I'VE NEVER FORGOTTEN IT. BECAUSE I'M STILL -- I'VE YET TO MEET ANOTHER PERSON WHO LIKES TO HAVE SOMEBODY MAKE OUT WITH THEIR NOSE. I'VE NEVER MET ANOTHER PERSON. >> Jimmy: WELL, THERE AREN'T ANY OTHER PEOPLE BESIDES HIM. SO -- HE WASN'T KIDDING? >> NO, HE WAS REALLY INTO IT. AND I STARTED LIKE GIGGLING. AND THEN -- BECAUSE HE WAS -- LIKE -- IT WAS GOOD. SO I DIDN'T WANT TO MESS IT UP. SO I GIVE HIM A LITTLE PECK ON THE NOSE. "NO, MAKE OUT WITH IT." >> Jimmy: WOW. WOW. "THE BACHELORETTE" GETS A ROSE, YOU GOT A NOSE. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> OH MY GOSH. >> Jimmy: WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A BREAK ON THAT HILARIOUS NOTE. CHARLIZE THERON IS HERE WITH US. THE MOVIE IS "BOMBSHELL." >>> ROGERS NEEDS YOU. YOUR SILENCE IS BEING NOTICED. >> WELL, THE WHOLE POINT OF AN INVESTIGATION IS TO FIND THE TRUTH, JANINE. UNTIL THAT HAPPENS, I DON'T HAVE A LOT TO SAY. >> IF THIS CHARGE STICKS, THE WORKING ASSUMPTION WILL BE EVERY WOMAN AT FOX GOT DOWN ON HER KNEES. EVEN YOU. >> IF WE SWEEP THIS THING UNDER THE RUG AND IT HAPPENS AGAIN? UNDER TITLE VII, FOX WILL BE LIABLE FOR COMPENSATORY AND PUNITIVE DAMAGES. THAT COULD BE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS. LET'S WORRY ABOUT THE LAW BEFORE WE DO THE PR, OKAY? >> Jimmy: CHARLIZE THERON IN "BOMBSHELL." IT'S IN THEATERS NOW. LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING. YOU SOUND EXACTLY LIKE MEGYN KE KELLY. I DIDN'T KNOW YOU COULD IMPERSONATE MEGYN KELLY UNTIL I SAW YOU. I SPOKE ABOUT THIS WITH MARGOT ROBBIE, IT'S UNBELIEVABLE HOW MUCH YOU SOUND LIKE HER. ARE YOU REGULARLY GOOD AT IMITATING PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE? >> NO, NO, I DON'T HAVE THAT NATURAL ABILITY AT ALL. I MEAN, LIKE WHEN I DO THIS KIND OF WORK, I LIKE TO KIND OF GIVE IT A SHOT, YOU KNOW. I FELT LIKE SHE'S SO WELL KNOWN THAT THAT WOULD BE -- AND SHE'S SO DISTINCTIVE WITH HER SOUND. I WORKED WITH THIS INCREDIBLE WOMAN, KARLA MYER, HERE IN LOS ANGELES. THERE SHOULD BE AN OSCAR CATEGORY FOR DIALECT COACHES. IT'S NOT AN EASY THING FOR ME TO DO, AND SHE GOT ME TO KIND OF UNDERSTAND WHY MEGYN SOUNDS THE WAY THAT SHE DOES. >> Jimmy: WHY DOES SHE SOUND THE WAY SHE DOES? >> IT'S COMPLICATED. IT TOOK US A VERY, VERY LONG TIME TO FIGURE IT OUT. FOR A GOOD SIX WEEKS I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. IT WAS PRETTY -- BUT I HAVE THIS DOG WHO IS KIND OF LIKE MY DOG HUSBAND, YOU KNOW. HE'S ALWAYS JUST RIGHT NEXT TO ME. HIS NAME IS BERKELEY. AND HE'S A RESCUE. HE'S ALWAYS WHERE I AM, THAT'S WHERE HE IS. AND SO HE SAT WITH ME FOR HUNDREDS OF HOURS, TRYING TO GET THIS SOUND RIGHT. >> Jimmy: DID HE GET IT? [ LAUGHTER ] >> NO, HE -- I MEAN, HE -- >> Jimmy: THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING. >> I FELT BAD, BUT HE'S COMMITTED IN THIS RELATIONSHIP WITH ME. AND SO SIX WEEKS INTO IT I GOT A LITTLE PANICKED, LIKE I DON'T THINK THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN. THEN I DID THIS KIND OF MONOLOGUE. AND I GAVE IT A REAL SHOT. AND -- AND OUT OF NOWHERE BERKELEY, WHO'S JUST BEEN ASLEEP FOR SIX WEEKS BY MY FEET, WENT -- HE HAD THIS LOOK ON HIS FACE WHERE HE WAS LIKE, WHY ARE YOU SOUNDING LIKE THAT? YOU'RE NOT MY MOM. >> Jimmy: REALLY? >> AND THAT'S WHERE I WAS LIKE, OH [ BLEEP ], I THINK WE'RE THERE, I THINK WE DID IT. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Jimmy: YEAH, YOU CAN CONVINCE THE DOG. >> HE DIDN'T RECOGNIZE THE VOICE. >> Jimmy: YOUR COSTAR MARGOT ROBBIE IS NOMINATED AS WELL. >> YEAH. >> Jimmy: WHICH IS NICE. YOU GET TO GO THERE TOGETHER AND REPRESENT THE MOVIE TOGETHER. >> YES. >> Jimmy: THAT WAS KIND OF -- AM I CORRECT IN SAYING THAT THAT KIND OF BEGAN THE -- WHAT WAS NOW KNOWN AS THE "ME TOO" MOVEMENT? >> YES. >> Jimmy: THAT SITUATION AT FOX NEWS? >> IT REALLY WAS THE FIRST STORY THAT KIND OF CATAPULTED US INTO THIS MOVEMENT THAT WE FIND OURSELVES IN RIGHT NOW. SO WHEN GRETCHEN CARLSON FILED THIS LAWSUIT AGAINST ROGER AILES FOR SEXUAL HARASSMENT, SHE WAS REALLY COMPLETELY ALONE. BECAUSE NONE OF THE WOMEN REALLY AT FOX CAME FORWARD WITH THEIR STORIES FOR A GOOD TWO WEEKS. AND THERE WAS NO "ME TOO" OR "TIME'S UP" THAT COULD REALLY SUPPORT HER. SO SHE REALLY WAS ONE OF THE FIRST WOMEN TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS AND THEN SUCCEED. YOU KNOW, NOT ONLY DID SHE SUCCEED WITH A LAWSUIT, OTHER WOMEN CAME FORWARD, SHARED THEIR STORIES, SHE ALSO GOT AN APOLOGY FROM FOX, ROGER AILES WAS LET GO. IT'S A HUGE ACCOMPLISHMENT. >> Jimmy: HAVE YOU SPOKEN TO ANY OF THOSE WOMEN, ANY OF THOSE CHARACTERS THAT WERE IN THE FILM, MEGYN KELLY MAYBE IN PARTICULAR? I WOULD IMAGINE MEGYN KELLY, AS UNCOMFORTABLE AS SHE WAS, SHE MUST HAVE BEEN SO FLATTERED THAT YOU WERE PLAYING HER. >> I THINK THAT IT'S HARD TO KIND OF RELIVE SOMETHING LIKE THIS. YOU KNOW? I THINK SEXUAL HARASSMENT IS -- IT'S ONE OF -- I THINK THE MOST PERVASIVE, YOU KNOW, HORRIBLE THINGS THAT CAN HAPPEN TO A MAN OR A WOMAN IN THEIR WORKPLACE. AND THE IDEA OF KIND OF HAVING TO RELIVE IT IS A TOUGH ONE. AND WE REALLY WANTED TO BE RESPECTFUL TO THEM, TO ALL OF THE WOMEN WHO WERE PART OF THE STORY. BUT I DO THINK THAT THEY WERE VERY GRACIOUS IN UNDERSTANDING THE POWER OF THEIR STORY, AND THEREFORE, YOU KNOW, THEY JUST RECENTLY RELEASED A CLIP, MEGYN KELLY DID, THAT SHE WATCHED THE MOVIE WITH A FEW OF THE WOMEN, AND THEY KIND OF TALKED ABOUT THE FILM. AND YOU KNOW, AND MEGYN IN HER MEGYN WAY HAD A FEW ISSUES, OF COURSE. THAT WAS EXPECTED. BUT THE ONE THING THAT THEY COULD ALL AGREE ON WAS THAT THE ESSENCE OF WHAT IT FELT LIKE TO WORK THERE AND WHAT IT FELT LIKE TO BE UNDER THAT PRESSURE, THAT CONSTANT PRESSURE OF BEING THREATENED OR YOUR JOB BEING THREATENED, TO THEM WAS SOMETHING THAT MOVED THEM INCREDIBLY. AND SO THAT WAS REALLY VALIDATING FOR US IN THE FILM. WE WANTED TO GET THAT PART RIGHT. >> Jimmy: WELL, YOU DEFINITELY -- IT SEEMS LIKE YOU GOT IT RIGHT, AND ALSO, IT IS VERY ENTERTAINING TO WATCH AS WELL. >> YES. >> Jimmy: IT'S CALLED "BOMBSHELL." CHARLIZE THERON IS NOMINATED FOR AN OSCAR FOR IT. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] WE'LL BE BACK WITH BRIAN COX
