alright Jim Carrey is nearly here at took me 25 years I've been a fan of Jim Carrey since I first saw him in the club to see is that a legendary career he's got a new series on Showtime called KITT Wow we don't usually get to plug Showtime that shows what an icon you are it's called kidding it starts Sunday Jim Carrey everybody [Applause] [Music] everybody Wow good Wow let's check this out I went out today and bought me some Nikes [Applause] that's right it's a salute to Colin Kaepernick to Nike congratulations I'm fantastic [Applause] it's great to see you in front of a microphone oh man happy to be here really I love you so much oh thank you to this show forever oh absolutely admire what you do well it took me forever to get you here but I know what would happen if I had to start reading yeah waiting from your pretty eye I would always wait for you I've been a fan of yours I tell you since I saw you the first time I ever saw you you didn't act and you didn't even speak you just did impressions with your face that's right yeah that's right and I said this guy yeah it started early when I saw a Golden Pond when I was a kid I was the theater and I was like I didn't know I was doing it I saw myself in a shop in a shop window and I went wow that's his face it came from the inside I by the way I have to tell you the story but we auditioned the same night at the Comedy Store for Mitzi oh come on years ago years ago well you audition certainly it was years ago Jim that's the new school of thought all time happens to okay well yeah I never was you were enacted to cover that is my Hilde and I suck right yeah I didn't make it past so tight you got rich you were regular and stuff I got up there and the microphone fell apart in my hands the first thing that happened you know it's gonna be one of those nights right even I ran past me it's C back to Canada for two years I you know I've noticed you know we're both around the same age and you're a little younger but as time goes by I noticed your mind really moves the furniture I don't think that was me I think you're transferring them oh really yeah I don't I never I never you're thinking of Greg Kinnear no you're a young Lamar I don't remember ever doing one of the confident or I'm glad your memories of my life are better than my own beautiful you know I've seen you in so many movies and one way I judge actors is by like I look at a pardon ago yeah he did great in that part could anybody else do it and usually the answer is yes sure would you a lot of times Ace Ventura no secret is making the wrong choices but committing completely no I don't think you have my favorite movie and I love many of them is cable guy oh thank you Mabel guy and Truman Show and I feel like they should be on a film festival together there's something about them that is very prescient about the way the world came to be absolutely you think they are we are parentless we are babysat by the television we're taught how to think by the television that's the dangerous time I think about what's going on right now there's an there are there are generations growing up right now who are learning to lie the lying is okay yeah that this kids a fake news that you're supposed to hate half the country well and if anything if anything we've got to get back to a place where we realize that a vote is not who you are you know and and because you voted looking you're not stupid you're not different you're not worthless you know I could break bread with anybody who voted for Trump we could find some common ground to love each other true just stop doing stupid we expect all right so get it together so let's plug your show yes why this character this hitting shot called kidding well you know these sly like mr. Rogers yeah guy who I think the show is really interesting because first of all I get to work with Michel Gondry again which is a you know who did was a dream the first time and a dream come true again what movie was a China okay but yeah it was a beautiful experience and it's about a guy in it's about it's about love being hit by lightning I mean this this is about a gentleman whose heart is so big and and his his approach is so authentic that it's undeniable when you come in contact with them when he that sounds like you I always thought well I was thought of you as a seeker yeah you were like you are always seeking something right yeah you're not always happy no I'm not always happy that's for sure happy is the weather and sunny place seeker let the flowers grow bro you know because it's hard to find what you're looking when it's deep yeah and and basically I've learned how to and I am as angry and caught up in this stuff as anybody out rage it's like a carpet bombing of outrage that's happening I see it in your art absolutely you know I first serious I didn't realize until I saw you on Jerry Seinfeld's coffee show yeah when you what he was at your studio what a great artist you are and now I see it all the time on social media because it took me only show you a few of these okay show they like this I love this one of trunk know that that's Ryan and Nunez are the flying monkeys okay perhaps I wasn't detailed enough to and then Lincoln is then there's my Lincoln curry didn't Lincoln symbolize I love that because Trump is always the president that actually you know had the worst tribulations our country has ever faced and brought us together now the opposite is happening right now we have a president who started out when the country was together and it had a wonderful leader and he is tearing us limb from limb well destroying every institution let's let's talk about this Donald Trump you know we don't want to let's bringing on the panel he's a car salesman he's a user Congress absolute and he's you know he didn't he didn't make America great again but he did turn back the odometer [Applause] where the backseat right right as I watched this week what I kept thinking was it all comes down to this case of narcissistic personality disorder we've all talked about it since you've been on the public scene but we see it in real time somebody really unravelling spiraling toward madness so I know there was a tape of him talking to Bob Woodward right we heard that this week at the end of it he gets a little frustrated and he says well accurate is that nobody's ever done a better job than I'm doing as president he says how can you what travel what demolition man is clean a couple of its enclosure couple of weeks ago he gave himself an A+ you saw that even if you thought these things you to say them out loud as often as he does his trick right I mean he kind of says these things that are so outrageous over and over and over again until eventually people think that there must be something there right that even if it's not you know even if he's not worth 10 billion dollars he must be worth like 1 billion dollars as opposed to you know a few million or it was supposed to being in debt a few million right everybody ordered a hundred and it was worth five right so that's the ratio of truth to is 20 to 1 okay it's 20 to 1 man when you have the disorder you know like when his like I was saying before his whole his personal cabinet now has turned on him the person with this disorder is never gonna go maybe it's me buddy is saying you know but you know the one not everybody sound like Trump now everybody saying yeah people are saying receiving end of one of the Tantrums I met with him twice and would you do well I told him no three times it was face he took it well the first time it was the second and third times he didn't take it so we're in over the health care issue and I tried to explain him what I thought with problems with a bill on Medicaid exchanges and Planned Parenthood and in the time I the second time I told him he said well are you are you I told him I was opposed at the bill and he said why so this is on a Thursday I said well he said why I said well be for the same reasons I told you on Tuesday two days before and I said went through the issues and he cut me off and he said you're gonna destroy the Republican Party you know the tax reforms gonna go down and it's just you're gonna destroy the Republican Party because he couldn't remember what you said on Tuesday no because it because I want for the health care bill he said way to take down my wife my finally interrupted him after about you know it seemed like gone forever this was in the Cabinet Room getting getting you know getting that late into here that's mr. president you tell him he did this you said mr. president yeah as an affirmation the health care bill didn't pass and I said are you telling me if we don't pass this health care bill in this form we're not gonna be able to tax a form because the baselines not low enough that's exactly right when you lose you lose and off he went again and they're in a whole room everybody says yes lean yes if you lied to him and then he comes back to me at the end you still hard no I'm still no mr. president goes off of me again and then I said well mr. president and he's I'm talking to you I don't hear any more from cloud ignore Trump for a week no I had a girlfriend one time long time ago and we're having problems I went to therapy and and and and the and the therapist said sounds like your girlfriend's a little bit borderline personality and she's you know a narcissist and whatever and and I said well maybe if I just you know find a different way to intellectualize or get used to what she's saying and I could you know my comebacks would be different and that I could just accept the fact she's gonna be a dick every once in a while whatever and she said please do please please try for a week to ignore and not react to these buttons that are being port orders no I know we don't sing there needs to be people around them okay that's yeah okay so let me ask about house we have the Democratic consultant here of the last successful election the Democrats seem to be getting their groove back a little bit and what ice when I mean by that is that Alexander our caveat cobia Cortez I Anna Presley Stacey Abrams kerryevelyn Davis these are all women who won primaries weren't supposed to and they did it with unabashed liberal proposals medicare-for-all ending student debt a different approach to the war on terror ending mass incarceration it seems like if there is a maybe a shining spot in this Trump tragedy it's that it's made the Democrats sort of rediscover who they are and the voters is that what's going on look I think those fundamental issues health care a secure job security you know and all of the things that are being addressed whatever the whatever form it takes you're hearing this kind of a cross across the board those candidates reflected their districts well they reflect their their constituencies well you know Connor lamb and your state probably has a slightly different slant on these things but fundamentally the values I think are very consistent and so you know the the Republicans are running with the word socialism they're trying to say and scare people scare people immune ISM Venezuela Trump says we're gonna be living in Venezuela I grew up in Canada okay we socialized medicine and I am I'm here to tell you that this line that you get on all of the political shows from people is that it's a failure the system is a failure in Canada it is not a failure and can I never waited for anything in my life I chose my own doctors my mother never paid for a prescription it was fantastic and I just got back from Vancouver and I keep hearing this like Canadians are so nice Canadians are so nice they can be nice because they have health care [Applause] it doesn't say secret swim pal right or you live in a box yeah there are certain people in our society that need to be taken care of there are there are people without as many opportunities that need to be helped toward those opportunities there are people who are sick but that's the don't have to lose your home and as your mother got sick and look I'm boy I've always said the United States has been a quasi socialist government for a hundred years for crying out loud it's not a sauna plenty of subsidies for oil companies and it also Medicare and Social Security and yes of course there's nothing more socialistic than some of the Pentagon programs that are just jobs programs the Pentagon says we don't want these tanks and they build them anyway if that's not socialism I don't know what is [Applause]

People are talking about him being crazy, or dominating the conversation. That’s who he is and has always been. Some people have personalities that absolutely envelope a room; Jim Carrey is one of those people. He dominates conversations, I think, because people expect it from him and because his mind just moves so quickly from one topic to the next. He reminds me a lot of Robin Williams in that way. He has so much he wants to get out that it almost feels like he never actually stops talking.

This is such a different Jim Carrey than the one who was on Kimmel the night before.

I want to know the end of the girlfriend story. I mean obviously they broke up, but I wonder what her reaction was.

[u/amc215]

The man is fucking nuts...

His whole Nike shoe stunt turned me off to him. Everyone forgets the many human rights violations Nike has had just because they have an ad about Colin. I stopped buying Nike years ago when the first accusation of child labor was revealed.
