our guest tonight is an actor activist and avenger who swaps infinity stone for infinity and beyond in light year from disney and pixar shall we play a game no thank you are you sure i can create a game specifically for you based on your exact personality profile hey listen socks buddy i'm pretty tired so i'm gonna go ahead and hit the rack of course i can provide sleep sounds if you like i have several options summer night ocean paradise whale calls no no white noise is fine very well goodnight socks good night buzz lightyear opens in theaters june 17th please welcome chris evans [Applause] i mean as if it isn't enough to already be captain america now you get to be buzz lightyear what a life you're leading yeah it's an embarrassment of riches are you traveling all over the world promoting it yeah well we're about to we're here first and then and then the whirlwind begins do you like doing that do you like going to other countries and have you do you get mobbed in places you never would have expected you might yeah yeah yeah something like where well well you mean marvel certainly kind of breaks into that but you know i actually one of the crazier experiences didn't have anything to do with marvel actually we did a movie a few years back called snow piercer oh yeah right yeah thank you it's a good one yeah nice uh and and the director's korean so we went to south korea and uh we landed we were coming out of the airport and it was a zoo just a mat like we were the beatles people were screaming and they had one little rope to to stop people and that rope just got bulldozed and uh very quickly we were we were surrounded it kind of got a little nerve-wracking for a minute and you know security came in and whisked us out of there and producers later that day were like man we heard what happened at the airport we're so sorry that's never going to happen again and i said hey you know it's not a big deal and then a couple days later we we left korea i get back to the airport and as i'm walking in uh there was a van behind us out of this van steps 25 to 30 giant giant korean men all wearing suits and and they they they stand in a circle around me holding hands and then the the walking me into the airport what not one fan showed up nobody i was all by myself that's probably for the best yeah why just like oh my god and you try to tell them guys it's it's not a but you know they they're there to work and that was it this was through security and then to the gate these guys it's great to have a new uh pixar movie coming to the theater there's um some confusion about this movie uh partially fueled by you you posted the trailer to the movie and everybody was excited yeah and then like a half an hour later you followed it up all right well i'm writing and just to be okay this isn't buzz lightyear the toy this is the origin story of the human buzz lightyear that the toy is based on now just okay please explain you know it's a shame i proof read that like five times like to me i was like it can't be any clearer than that [Laughter] it's really a shame i mean it's it's a tough thing to try and explain via via tweet but as soon as i sent that can you explain it in person because i mean i'll try again as far as i understand tim allen voiced the toy buzz lightyear that's right and you are the real buzz lightyear that's right well you know what it is so so i listen i i'm a massive massive pixar fan and uh when my team first called me to tell me that that this was a possibility when when you get which team the celtics you made sorry that was like the most hollywood thing when my team uh you know my agents uh yeah and when everybody's on the call you know it's either good news or really bad oh right yeah right but but they said uh you know a pixar wants to talk to you about a job and they said the only thing we know is a buzz lightyear and i said okay you know tim allen's was like yeah how's this gonna go and i went up and i met with them and uh angus the director i had a had a powerpoint presentation and and it began by him saying uh so when i was a kid i loved star wars and click the first the first slide was you know five-year-old angus covered in han solo gear and and he said it was just his whole world he had all the toys and his friends loved it and he said that when he first saw the first uh toy story and when andy got buzz lightyear and all his friends knew who buzz was he wondered what was the movie in their world that they saw that made buzz such a what an interesting thing to think of and i said okay okay i can wrap my head around that that makes sense so yeah yeah that that's that's what it is this is the movement only you tweeted that you know it saved so many people so much hardship [Applause] well i can't wait to see what my my kids are going to eat it up no doubt speaking of kids we're going to play a little game with dodge basketball do you know what this is are you sure you want to do this no not really i haven't shot a basketball cause i'm going to tell you chris pratt got one in the face and then right away right in the nuts he did not beat me he did not no all right because i just saw a clip where you didn't put up any points at all well that's probably what's going to happen again tonight but well all right we'll see what happens you don't know until you play the game night year opens in theaters june 17th chris evans and i are going outside [Applause]
