Let's welcome the always entertaining and unique Will Ferrell! ♪♪ ♪♪ -Wow! -How are you? -Wow. - Wow. -Wow. -Wow. -The Roots in the house! Oh, how good to be here. Wow! -Uh... R-Ryan--Ryan Reynolds. It's, uh... -Oh, my God. -It's... Oh... -Crazy, right? -So... How strange. -Yeah, I mean, it's a little strange, yeah. -I-I-I just put the kids to bed. -Yeah. -I was walking the dog around the block. -UH Huh. -Will called. -Well. -He said he was a little late. -Well. -He asked me if I would jump for him. -Yeah. -And I said: "Anything for you, I

will

do it." -Yeah. -"I'm in." -How late is Will arriving? -Oh, he

will

never be here at around ten thirty.

Will won't come. -Will won't come at all. -Will Ferrell is not here. But... but you're here. It's surprising that... -Yes, look. I'm uncomfortable with the word "hero", Jimmy, but I'm here. -I didn't call you a hero. -I'm... I'm as disgusted as you are with these... these plastic prima donnas, you know, Playboy, Hollywood, who think they can, you know, have an appearance on a talk

show

and then just not

show

up. above. It's... it's just... Will Ferrell too. He loves late night talk

shows

. He's a late night talk show whore. However, not even... Who ignores this? He said, "Yeah, I can't make it." It's just... -Now that you're here, can you...

I mean, how... how... how is Blake? How are the kids? -You know, they're all good. Blake, by the way, no personal questions. But Blake is... Blake is... he's great. Sex is totally normal. -Well. Wait. That's... That's... he wasn't going to ask that. -Hey Hey hey. Pump...Pump the sexual brakes, Jimmy. I didn't ask personal questions and you're going to get into it, okay? Barbara Walters, calm down. -I...? -It's easy to do. -I have all the questions for Will here. -Well, he shoots. Look, I took a solemn oath on my children's lives that I would deliver this to you 20 minutes ago, and I'm going to do it.

I'm going to talk about "The Psychiatrist Next Door." -Yes, 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 you're here. -Alright. -If you mention "Red Notice", you will taste the back of my hand. -Wow! -I'm telling you right now. -Wow! -I'm going to hand over... -I haven't even seen - -... Will Ferrell because he is a golden god. -Yeah. -And that's what I'll do. -Well, you just made a movie together. -We did it.

We made a movie called "Spirited," yeah. -"Cheerful", yes. And is this the first time you've worked together? -That's the second time. Believe it or not, we made a movie 20 years ago called "Dick." I'm not kidding. It was Richard Nixon. It was Richard Nixon. Don't ask personal questions... And don't ask personal questions. -I promise, and no personal questions. That is what I meant. And... And again... Tell me about... Tell me about "Dick." -"Dick" -- -Honestly, I don't remember. The mushrooms appeared just in time when he was doing... -Okay. Well, then... let's talk about "The Psychiatrist Next Door." -Yes, let's not make this weird. -Alright.

Oh yeah. -"Shrink to the side." It's on Apple TV+. -It's on Apple TV+. It stars the great Will Ferrell, Kathryn Hahn. It's written by Georgia Pritchett, who you may know from "Succession" and "Veep." Incredible. Paul Rudd. Uh, I mean... -This is great. Actually you did... -This is... Yes! Paul Rudd! The sexiest man alive. I was going to show this to Will, but I'll show it to you. -Not well. I'm happy for...for Paul, because, A, he's possibly the kindest human being in all of show business. He is aging backwards because of his contract with Satan.

And, um... Or he just drinks breast milk from a blue whale or something. -I've heard about that. -He does something strange. -Yes of course. -And I want to enter. -No me too. We all do it, we all want to participate in whatever you're doing, yeah. -Benjamin Buttons this life, if we could. -But let's go to... "The psychiatrist next door"... Do you really have any idea what the program is about? -Oh yeah. It's like... It's kind of a sequel to "Ant-Man." It's like... -No. -It's in the "Ant-Man" universe. -No, it's not. No. - There's "Ant-Man" next door. "The psychiatrist next door"... -Yes. -...is what I'm talking about. -Yes, it's... it's... it's... -Well, it's...

Yes, it's a psychiatrist, right? He doesn't shrink his body per se, but he's a psychiatrist, so he does psychiatry stuff. -Is it Paul or is it Will? -No no. Paul is the psychiatrist. He's the psychiatrist, right? -Okay, yes. -So, you know, he...-he lives in the house next door. -Yes, he lives next door. And he... and he... minimizes himself in relationships, which is kind of like "Ant-Man," right? It's just... It's just not... It's more like some kind of psychosomatic... This is not a Marvel movie. -It's Marvel Phase 16, which everyone says is much more identifiable. So... And that's it. -Is it a period piece? -No Yes.

Yes, it is a period piece. -Wow. -Based on some of the facial hair I've seen. -Alright. -Yeah. -And so Paul will become a patient and a doctor. -They crush it. Yes. -They really crush it. -Paul has like a little laboratory in his... in his house, and his children are little scoundrels, and he shrinks them by accident. -Wait wait. Kids actually... There's a shrinking involved, but he doesn't shrink. And then he has to 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 everyone runs through 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+ -Correct, yes, it is. That is 100% true. -I want to show a clip. -I think we should definitely... -Can you set up the clip for us? -Yeah. This will be a clip where, you know, Ant-Man and, um... We should just shoot the clip. -Well well. Here are Will Ferrell and Paul Rudd in "The Psychiatrist Next Door." Look at this. -Excuse me, Marty? I'm Bonnie, Ike's wife. -Bonnie! Oh my God. Hello. -Hello. -Hello. -Oh. I saw you standing alone.

And I'm not good at these things either. -Nice to meet you. Your husband, what a great guy. -He is... a great guy, yes. Not necessarily a great dancer. He hadn't seen him have so much fun since our wedding. -He is having a lot of fun. I'm sure he has many friends. -Yes he does. -Oh. Holy shit, that's nothing like "Ant-Man." -No. Ryan Reynolds replaces Will Ferrell, y'all. "The Shrink Next Door" premieres this Friday on Apple TV+. Ryan and I are going to do something fun that we were supposed to do with Will Ferrell after the break.

Although more with Ryan.
