continues ] -[ Laughs ] Wow.
-Wow. -Wow.
-The Roots in the house! Oh, so good to be here.
[ Cheers and applause ] Wow!
-Uh... R-Ryan -- Ryan Reynolds.
It is, uh -- -Oh, my God.
-It is -- Oh -- -Crazy, right?
[ Cheers and applause ] -So...
So weird. -Yeah, I mean,
it is a little odd, yeah. -I-I-I just
put the kids to bed. -Yeah.
-I was walking the dog around the block.
-Uh-huh. -Will called.
-Okay. -Said he was
running a little late. -Okay.
-Asked me if I'd jump in for him.
-Yeah. -And I said,
"Anything for you, will." -Yeah.
-"I'm in." -How late is Will running? -Oh, he's gonna be here
in about a half past never. Will's not coming.
[ Laughter ] -Will's not coming at all.
-Will Ferrell's not here. But -- But you're here.
This is amazing that -- -Yes, look.
I'm uncomfortable with the word "hero," Jimmy,
but I am here. [ Laughter ]
-I didn't call you a hero. -I'm -- I'm just as disgusted
as you are with these -- these plastic, you know,
Playboy, Hollywood prima donnas
that think they can just, you know,
have a talk-show appearance and then just not show up.
It's -- it's just -- Will Ferrell, too.
He loves late-night talk shows. He's a late-night
talk-show slut. Yet he just doesn't even --
Who blows this off? He was like,
"Yeah, I can't make it." It's just...
-Now that you're here, can -- I mean, how -- how --
how's Blake? How's the kids?
-You know, they're all good. Blake's -- no personal
questions, by the way. But Blake is --
[ Laughter ] Blake is -- is great.
The sex is totally normal. -Okay. Wait. That's --
That's going -- I wasn't gonna ask that.
-Hey, hey, hey. Pump -- Pump the sex brakes,
Jimmy. I asked
no personal questions, and you're going right in on it,
all right? Barbara Walters, easy.
-Do I...? -Easy does it.
[ Laughter ] -I have all questions
for Will here. -Well, fire away.
Look, I made a solemn swear on the life of my children
that I would deliver this for him 20 minutes ago,
and I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna talk
"The Shrink Next Door." -Yeah, but do you want
to talk about -- You have a movie coming out
called "Red Notice" with Dwayne Johnson.
-No, I don't want to talk -- No, guys, unh-unh, no. No, we're not talking
about "Red Notice" while I'm here.
-That's -- Okay. -If you bring up "Red Notice,"
you will taste the back of my hand.
-Wow! -Just telling you right now.
-Wow! -I'm gonna deliver...
-I've never even seen -- -...for Will Ferrell
because he is a golden god. -Yeah.
-And that's what I'm gonna do. -Well, you guys just did
a movie together. -We did. We did a movie
called "Spirited," yeah. -"Spirited," yeah.
And is that the first time you've worked together? -That is the second time.
We did a movie 20 years ago, believe it or not, called
"Dick" -- I'm not making a joke. It was about Richard Nixon.
It was about Richard Nixon. Don't do personal --
And no personal questions. -I promise,
and no personal questions. I meant that.
And -- And again -- -Tell me about --
Tell me about "Dick." -"Dick" --
[ Laughter ] -Honestly, I don't remember.
The shrooms kicked in right on time
when I was doing -- -All right.
Well, let's, uh -- Well, then let's -- let's talk
about "The Shrink Next Door." -Yeah,
let's not make this weird. -All right. Uh...
[ Laughter ] -Yeah.
-"Shrink Next Door." It's on Apple TV+. -It is on Apple TV+.
It stars the great Will Ferrell, Kathryn Hahn. It's written
by Georgia Pritchett, who you might know
from "Succession" and "Veep." Incredible.
Paul Rudd. [ Cheers and applause ]
Uh, I mean... -This is great.
You actually did -- -This is -- Yes! Paul Rudd!
The Sexiest Man Alive. I was gonna show this to Will,
but I'll show it to you. -No, that's fine.
I'm happy for -- for Paul, because, A, he's possibly
the nicest human being in all of show business. He's aging backwards because
of his contract with Satan. [ Laughter ]
And, um... Or he only drinks breast milk
from a blue whale or something. -I heard about that.
-He does something weird. -Yes, of course.
-And I want in. -No, me too.
We all do -- we all want in on whatever he's doing, yeah.
-Benjamin Buttons this life, if we could.
-But let's -- "The Shrink Next Door" --
do you have really any idea what the show is about?
-Oh, yeah. It's, like -- It's sort of
an "Ant-Man" sequel. It's like --
-No. -It's in the "Ant-Man" universe.
-No, it's not. No.
-It's "Ant-Man" adjacent. "The Shrink Next Door"...
-Yeah. -...is what I'm talking about.
-Yes, it's -- it's -- it's -- -Well, it's --
Yeah, he's a shrink, right? He doesn't shrink, you know,
his body, per se, but he's a psychiatrist,
so he does, like, psychiatristy things.
-Paul is or Will is? -No, no.
Paul is the psychiatrist. He is the shrink in it, right?
-Okay, yeah. -So, you know, he --
-He lives next door. -Yes, he lives next door.
And he -- And he -- He minimizes himself
in relationships, which is kind of like
"Ant-Man," right? It's just --
It's just not -- It's more of like
a psychosomatic sort of -- -This is not a Marvel movie.
-It's Marvel Phase 16, which everyone's saying is,
like, way more relatable. So...
And period. -It's a period piece?
-No-- Yes. Yes, it is a period piece. -Wow.
-Based on some of the facial hair
that I have seen. -All right.
-Yeah. -And so Paul will
become patient and doctor. -They crush it. Yeah.
-They really crush it. -Paul has, like, a little lab
in his -- in his house, and his kids are little rascals, and he shrinks them by accident.
-Wait, wait. The kids actually --
There is shrinking involved, but he doesn't get shrunk.
And then he has to, like, tell his wife, Kathryn Hahn...
-You have no idea what this show is about.
-"Honey, I shrunk the kids." No, that's
"Honey, I Shrunk the Kids." And then they're all running
around in the blades of grass. What's worse than terrible,
terrible swarms of bees, Jimmy? I don't know what's worse than
terrible swarms of bees. -This is on Apple TV+
-Right, yes, it is. That much is 100% true.
[ Laughter ] -I want to show a clip.
-I think we should definitely -- -Can you set up the clip for us?
-Yes. This will be a clip where, you know,
Ant-Man and, um... [ Laughter ] We should just roll the clip. -Okay, okay.
Here's Will Ferrell and Paul Rudd
in "The Shrink Next Door." Take a look at this. -Excuse me, Marty?
Um, I'm Bonnie, Ike's wife. -Bonnie!
Oh, my gosh. Hi. -Hi.
-Hello. -Oh.
I saw you standing alone. And I'm not great
at these things, either. -It is such a pleasure
to meet you. Your husband,
what a great guy. -He's...a great guy, yes. Not necessarily a great dancer. I haven't seen him have
this much fun since our wedding. -He's really enjoying himself.
He sure has a lot of friends. -Yeah, he does. [ Cheers and applause ] -Oh. Holy [bleep] That's nothing
like "Ant-Man" at all. -No. Ryan Reynolds is in
for Will Ferrell, everybody. "The Shrink Next Door" premieres
this Friday on Apple TV+. Ryan and I are gonna
do something fun that we were supposed to do
with Will Ferrell after the break.
More with Ryan, though.
What a godawful clip to air for that show/film. Just boring as hell - two characters casually and awkwardly talking about a guy who is dancing. Looks fucking great, I'll definitely check it out 🙄
Ryan is trying so hard to make this bit funny but Jimmy Fallon is just so terrible that it bombs.
Will Ferrell shows up on Kimmel inatead of Ryan Reynolds
https://youtu.be/M3aWvGi9Z3U
Cool trick. Now make anyone but Fallon show up.
The worst part about Fallon is that he actually believes people are stupid enough to believe everything isn’t fully scripted. That and that he believes he’s actually funny on his own.
Ryan Reynolds!!!! LOL
These tonight show guys must be on drugs when they come up with this stuff!
HE IS LITERALLY DEAD POOL OMG HAHA
