acupuncture and massage twice a week oh
2:40
man oh [ __ ]
2:43
are you still golfing as you mentioned I
2:46
haven't golfed in a while because
2:49
I had a back surgery and then covet
2:51
happened and then I couldn't you know
2:54
rehab the right way and then I went back
2:56
to work because I had missed work for so
2:58
long so I haven't golfed like I used to
3:00
go if I used to go off every day you
3:02
know because I needed Johnny Gill's
3:03
money so I used to go out there and golf
3:04
here he was taking Johnny's money yeah
3:08
easily yeah like who's who have you
3:11
taken the most money from is it Johnny
3:12
Gill playing golf
3:15
no I can't talk about Jim Brown he's
3:17
dead
3:19
Charles Barkley Charles Barkley have you
3:23
beat him I I don't I don't I don't
3:25
gamble with Chuck and Mike because they
3:28
like play for ridiculous amounts of
3:30
money okay uh and it's not fun when
3:33
you're doing that I'd rather go out
3:34
there and have a good time it's not like
3:36
I don't think I could win I just don't
3:38
feel like being bothered with that kind
3:39
of pressure yeah so you know it's easy
3:41
to play for you know a couple hundred
3:43
dollars but that's that's just me and
3:46
Johnny and a couple other friends you
3:48
know but Johnny likes to you know Johnny
3:50
likes to augment my weekly sale he likes
3:53
to uh
3:54
[Laughter]
3:58
was there ever a point that you like you
4:01
said you got injured and you you weren't
4:03
working for a while is that the first
4:05
time you were off from work like did
4:07
have you ever stopped working
4:09
well not by choice uh you know but Kobe
4:12
kind of stopped everybody from working
4:13
yeah uh so that was like the longest
4:16
period I guess that I hadn't done
4:18
anything you know sit at home and read
4:20
and wait on work to happen and then uh
4:24
when they finally got the protocols
4:26
together I guess the first thing I did
4:28
after that was Ptolemy gray so I got
4:31
back in there and then right after that
4:33
came this secret Invasion came right
4:35
after that so over almost took like a
4:39
year or so to get this done to get this
4:40
done yeah and you were out here
4:42
promoting it man he came by the show
4:43
Samuel L Jackson I didn't think it was
4:45
going to happen there hey man what's it
4:47
like those holidays have they not always
4:49
often want to come on a um vacation with
4:51
you and magic and LL man but what I
4:53
gotta do is it a a a financial status I
4:57
got a resource it's a friend thing I
4:59
don't know uh you know magic magic rents
5:04
that boat okay so he invites who he
5:06
wants to come okay uh so I don't have
5:09
anything to do with that or I'm always
5:11
surprised sometimes about who's there
5:12
and who's not you know so
5:15
the LL shows up sometimes he doesn't go
5:18
every year yeah you know but he got his
5:20
own thing now right yeah
5:22
coming up come on
5:25

5:42
[Applause]
5:44
I was Uptown and people you know were
5:47
you know Sugar Hill Gang and all that
5:49
was happening you know I was Uptown and
5:51
getting annoyed at hearing you know the
5:54
same song over and over and said can we
5:56
rap to something else like Rapper's
5:57
Delight oh my God it was killing me
6:01
so yeah I've been a fan of ello because
6:03
you know he he changed the game in
6:06
another way yeah so rap started to
6:08
change and I was around through all the
6:10
changes of West Coast rap east coast rap
6:12
you know Southern rap when Southern rap
6:15
hit you know so I've been around and I
6:17
I'm a fan of all of that but I'm a music
6:20
fan I listen to almost everything except
6:23
country but I'm trying to figure out
6:26
country because I got friends that sing
6:27
it you know uh hootie's one of my boy
6:29
Darius okay Darius Rucker yeah yeah
6:32
another person I used to play golf with
6:34
and get a little bit of money from it
6:37
take a lot of money on a lot of pockets
6:39
a little bit a little bit of money every
6:40
now and then but uh I'm a huge fan of
6:43
all kinds of music and I listen to it I
6:45
still listen to rap I got this crazy
6:47
kind of you know if I'm on IG and I hear
6:50
a song and I don't know what it is I'll
6:52
just stop and look and see at the bottom
6:54
of the uh yeah and I'll just download it
6:57
and put it in the phone and I catch up
6:59
with it later on you were singing uh
7:01
what's the song with Dirk and um yeah
7:03
and Jacob all my life he was just
7:05
singing All My Life yeah yeah I was
7:07
impressed you knew the lyrics
7:17
I already know what did you think when
7:19
like we mentioned we talk about LL LL
7:22
was one of the first rappers to make the
7:24
transition to the big screen uh so was
7:26
Ice Cube you know one of those first
7:28
early on rappers Will Smith
7:31
Latifah to get into the acting field
7:33
where back then were they easily you see
7:37
like what did you think when that first
7:39
happened
7:39
honestly all right so famously years ago
7:43
I used to say I will not work with a
7:45
rapper yes famously said that uh in my
7:50
early days of being in film because I
7:52
had so many friends you know that first
7:54
it was it was athletes then it was
7:57
comedians then all of a sudden it was
7:59
rapping everybody was getting a job but
8:00
people who gone who had gone to school
8:03
so I was kind of you know no I won't do
8:06
that I can't prop somebody else up when
8:09
I got friends out here that need to be
8:10
propped up and brought into the business
8:12
uh as things go things change yeah and
8:16
people change so when the first time I
8:20
worked with LL was deep blue sea deep
8:23
blue sea yeah and when he showed up he
8:26
said you know you know
8:28
I'm not LL Cool J I'm tired and it's
8:30
like
8:32
okay so that's your Active Space you're
8:35
tired now okay so fine and you know all
8:38
that went along he had his acting coach
8:39
with him it was great you know kind of
8:41
he had this dude with him uh that was
8:43
like uh his acting coach and I was like
8:45
well who you coach it was like well the
8:48
Wayans brothers you tell people that
8:51
[ __ ]
8:59
okay but
9:02
as time went on because I I turned down
9:05
a couple of movies you know and you work
9:06
with Ella again and SWAT right yeah yeah
9:08
yeah yeah well he grown as an actor in
9:11
swat but I don't cast things I just show
9:13
up yeah you know and he was there and
9:15
you know he and I have a great
9:17
relationship you know as we talked about
9:19
the craft of what we're doing and what
9:22
he was trying to find out and the way he
9:24
approached it he didn't come in as I'm
9:27
this rapper and therefore I can do
9:30
whatever everybody else can do help me
9:32
you know and he was humble about it and
9:34
I was very cool with that and that
9:36
worked for me uh and then uh when I did
9:39
Shaft we had yeah
9:42
give it up for bus man give it up for a
9:44
bus man did his thing he killed that he
9:47
did a thing in there it was great well
9:48
hey you know we were all
9:50
stepping out on the on a on a high wire
9:54
because first of all we're doing shaft
9:57
again you know so when John Cena came to
9:59
me and said yeah we're gonna we're gonna
10:00
do shaft that's like why
10:02
no we got a chef you know and then we
10:04
talked about it and I was like okay but
10:07
we have to put Richard in this movie as
10:11
Chef so people will know I am not
10:13
replacing Richard Roundtree I'm doing
10:15
this other thing so all of a sudden we
10:18
got into this thing where you said okay
10:19
well
10:20
I'll be his nephew
10:22
which was cool so we work with that and
10:25
then when we did it again a couple of
10:27
years ago all of a sudden it was like
10:29
you know we really need to fix this so
10:34
we got to a point where I talked them
10:37
into letting me say you've been
10:39
pretending to be my uncle all this time
10:40
when you really my dad you know so
10:42
that's some black [ __ ] yeah
10:45
[Laughter]
10:50
it happens all the time you know you've
10:53
been running around talking about you
10:54
know my auntie and I said well you know
10:55
actually you know
10:59
so we threw that in there and it worked
11:03
you know and it was fun to do a shaft
11:05
that was a shaft kind of Comedy because
11:07
when it came when they came to me with
11:09
that one it was almost like the script
11:11
was kind of making a buffoon chef and I
11:15
was like no we got to fix that okay
11:16
because we cannot you know do that to an
11:19
idol or an icon like yeah he can be
11:22
funny yeah and sarcastic because I got
11:25
some of that with me so we changed all
11:28
that and fixed all that and uh you know
11:30
it was a better film for it and it was
11:32
it was you know a fun film to do and
11:34
people people will like it you know I
11:36
just do stuff that I want to have fun
11:38
doing yes and I want people to have fun
11:40

appreciate it man have the B talk to it
12:15
I do I have um well you mentioned Tony's
12:17
congratulations on the piano lesson you
12:20
your amazing wife who I have so much
12:22
love and admiration and respect for she
12:25
is like don't get enough credit just in
12:27
my opinion I just want to just salute
12:29
her as well for her work
12:31
um but it's funny because you guys were
12:33
next to the Brooklyn Chop House and I'm
12:36
and I'm always in there eating them
12:37
hanging out and drinking and somebody
12:39
said Samuel Jackson was just here oh my
12:41
God people are coming in today and it
12:43
made me think about the last time you
12:45
were here you said your daughter was a
12:46
chef and I was a chef and I was
12:48
wondering if you ever thought about
12:50
getting into like the restaurant
12:51
industry does your daughter have a
12:53
restaurant and or anything like that
12:55
because I remember you speaking about
12:57
her macaroni and cheese and saying how
12:59
chefs always trying to make extra and
13:01
doing that you like playing on macaroni
13:03
and cheese I was wondering if you ever
13:04
thought about it I never thought about
13:06
going in the restaurant business but I
13:07
do I am an investor in Dave's Hot
13:09
Chicken
13:14
that's working out
13:17
I know that y'all it's a genuine
13:20
question yeah not a commercial I
13:22
understand but that but uh Now Zoe Zoe
13:25
is actually a producer she won an Emmy
13:28
as a year so two years ago for for
13:30
Rupaul's Drag Race
13:33
so she's a producer so she used to be on
13:36
Chop Chop Jr Top Chef Masters and all
13:39
that kind of stuff but she went she went
13:42
to cooking school because she wanted to
13:43
be a food critic but then once she went
13:45
to cooking school she gained all this
13:46
respect for these chefs and she decided
13:48
she didn't want to be out there
13:49
criticize nobody's food so she ended up
13:51
doing some other stuff and that all
13:53
played into it
13:55
um what was the question no I was
13:58
wondering no no I don't invest in any
14:00
restaurant no no everybody the one time
14:02
I almost got involved in a restaurant my
14:05
accountant was like
14:06
you know that's like a two-year you know
14:09
at best kind of yeah you know deal you
14:11
might make some money for two years but
14:13
eventually you're gonna lose money and
14:14
go out of business so let's not do that
14:17
so I didn't you didn't do it no yeah but
14:20
I don't know been in the Chop House man
14:22
we be on stage just like
14:24
are we getting a contact what's
14:26
happening
14:32
weed is the smell of New York City
14:40
you know the audience ain't smoking but
14:44
whoa
14:45
yeah
14:54
it's awesome in there we had a closing
14:57
night party in there
14:58
right yeah uh Tracy G yeah
15:02
yeah have you two things come to mind
15:04
first is when you mention being such a
15:07
big time lover of music do you ever use
15:10
music to prepare for a character like
15:13
maybe like listen to the songs you think
15:15
that character would have in a playlist
15:17
no oh
15:21
absolutely not never thought of that huh
15:24
well actually I have thought of it but
15:26
then it's it's not applicable okay I
15:30
listen to music while I'm studying
15:32
uh-huh that I do I listen to music all
15:35
the time well you know when I get up in
15:36
the mornings
15:37
when I'm on location and I'm working and
15:41
my wife's not with me
15:42
I can you know turn my beat pill on and
15:45
play music loud and sell in the morning
15:46
when I'm in the shower or shaving
15:48
getting ready to go to work of course I
15:50
got you know all kinds of stuff going so
15:52
I got my hip-hop playlist going or just
15:55
whatever I just hit something some
15:57
mornings I get up and I go
15:59
that's not Usher today boom so I just
16:01
thought you know the Usher Usher's
16:03
Greatest and keep keep it moving or you
16:05
know can't go wrong with that you know
16:08
even even something that's off as Trick
16:11
Daddy you know oh damn
16:18
[Music]
16:34
you know so I listen to all kinds of
16:37
things in the morning just to keep me
16:39
moving or get me moving so I move around
16:41
with it but nothing that says okay this
16:44
is the mood I need to be in today no
16:45
it's just music Samuel is here Mike Muse
16:49
we only got him a few minutes I'm trying
16:51
to get the whole board in go ahead
16:53
you're a whole plot twist this morning
16:55
Sam
16:56
I said enjoyable I love how you said you
16:59
love having fun and that's the most
17:01
important part of your job and so acting
17:02
I'm just wondering when the scripts come
17:04
to you like how do you determine whether
17:06
it's going to be fun
17:08
if I want to go and see it and if I want
17:11
to see me in it you know that was the
17:13
whole thing way back when I was a you
17:14
know a a theater actor period and was
17:17
trying to get a job in some other
17:19
meeting but I always wanted to see the
17:21
plays I was in with me in them so now I
17:26
do things that I want to see me in so
17:29
that's it it's like I just read a read a
17:33
scripted I'm like hoping I can get done
17:37
um that's you know just two guys in a
17:39
car you know running from these people
17:41
that are trying to kill them yeah and
17:43
the whole thing takes place in the car
17:46
you know it's kind of like how they
17:48
gonna do this but I want to see me in
17:50
that yeah you know I love that yeah so
17:53
it's all about you know finding
17:55
something that's fun it's like when they
17:56
call me about
17:57
um um um Kong I was like some other
18:01
actor
18:02
was supposed to do it and the other
18:05
actor was like well I don't want to be
18:06
gone away from home that long because I
18:08
got a young kid and I want to be home
18:09
and they said you want to be in King
18:11
Kong I was like when do we start yeah
18:14
I've been trying to run I've been trying
18:15
to run from King Kong since I was a kid
18:18
hell yeah I'm about that yeah let's go
18:21
where is he you know and then we get
18:23
there it ain't no Kong it's like they
18:24
always say well he's going to be over
18:25
there and he's this big how big is it
18:28
let me go oh look at that tree
18:33
and then when I saw the movie
18:36
never
18:38
not one day of shooting did they tell us
18:40
Kong was that big that huge yeah you
18:44
know win helicopters and it's like
18:45
slapping us down and they're talking
18:47
about well as big as that tree I see
18:48
he's knocking the helicopter
18:51
not to mention where is he at night that
18:54
we can't find him
18:56
if he takes the [ __ ] we know
19:01
I want to talk about a secret invasion
19:03
real quick because I know that's what
19:04
you're here to promote I mean it's
19:05
coming out on June 21st on Disney plus
19:07
and you're back is Nick Fury and you've
19:09
been one of the longest running uh
19:10
characters in the MCU from your cameo
19:12
and Iron Man a post-credits scene and a
19:15
lot of people may not realize Nick Fury
19:16
is one of the most important people in
19:18
the MCU when it comes to all these
19:19
different phases and things that have
19:21
transpired
19:22
um my question for you is um Avengers
19:24
end game when you watch it now it hits a
19:26
little bit different when you think
19:27
about Chadwick not being here anymore
19:29
and so I just wonder like throughout the
19:31
series are you able to watch you know
19:32
whether it's something new like uh
19:34
secret Invasion or even some of the past
19:36
films in the MCU and does it hit you the
19:38
same way does it hit the fans that that
19:40
the same way that it hits the fans I
19:42
don't know how does it hit them
19:43
I mean
19:45
well already but even now when you see
19:46
actors that are no longer here it just
19:48
kind of puts a little more emotion
19:49
behind it you know what I mean it's just
19:51
like especially end game the way that I
19:53
don't want to ruin it for anybody who
19:54
hasn't seen it but you know like that
19:55
you know when they come back and
19:56
everything and it's just like damn you
19:57
know you think about things more
19:59
um
20:00
So when you say
20:03
people who are not here anymore are we
20:04
talking about the characters in the
20:06
films about the actors themselves the
20:09
actors themselves you know
20:10
um you know because Chad Chad I mean
20:13
Chad Chad Chad was a different kind of
20:15
thing you know for everybody you know
20:18
because uh he's such a good dude and
20:25
him being black panther or to challenge
20:29
we know him uh was so close to who he is
20:33
in terms of being a human being a heroic
20:37
kind of human being and uh a good
20:40
brother
20:41
uh
20:42
that losing him and losing his Essence
20:47
in that character uh changes the tone of
20:50
what you know the story was as we saw
20:52
when we come back to it we saw how it
20:55
changes and
20:57
um
20:58
shifting over to Angela and the strength
21:00
of Angela and what she is and what she
21:02
made it become
21:04
um but
21:05
when you move through that Universe in
21:07
different ways as I do you know I'm
21:10
constantly questioning when they bring
21:12
me in or ask me to come in and do stuff
21:14
you know it's like I always tried to
21:16
figure out like why the hell did I not
21:18
show up in wakanda
21:19
you know it's like this Nick Fury he
21:22
[ __ ] knows what kind is there why the
21:24
hell is he not walking around somewhere
21:25
and well you know later and then Don was
21:29
like well why am I not in wakanda you
21:31
know or Anthony's like remember you know
21:33
all the black people in the Marvel
21:35
Universe wanted to know
21:37
how come we don't get to go to wakanda
21:38
you know or we don't run into them but
21:41
if eventually they did but I never did
21:43
so I still got a little thing on me you
21:45
can tell it you guys bothering you right
21:48
yeah you're still bug back but um
21:52
having had the privilege of being Nick
21:56
Fury in like 15 different movies I mean
21:58
I had like a nine picture deal when it
22:00
first started which was like crazy when
22:02
I first showed up and they go yeah we
22:03
want you to be Nick Fury even nine
22:05
picture deals
22:06
how long I got to stay alive to do
22:14
we're gonna make nine movies in two
22:16
years you know so yeah wow but um it's
22:20
uh been a distinct honor to be Nick Fury
22:23
and you know the the the the different
22:27
iterations that I've had a chance to be
22:29
him uh and and in this particular series
22:34
you know is a very different Nick you
22:36
know there's a reason why he's been gone
22:39
after the blip for like three years
22:41
that's the reason he's been missing he's
22:43
changed he you know
22:46
um was broken a bit you know by it so
22:49
like at the end of Spider-Man far from
22:51
home you find out you know that wasn't
22:52
even Nick Fury that was somebody
22:54
pretending to be next year you know so
22:56
what is that about you know so now we're
22:59
gonna find out what that's about
23:01
um but being at in-game I was like one
23:05
of the most um
23:08
oh man that was like so crazy being
23:10
there yeah that's like the biggest
23:12
biggest set
23:15
in terms of uh being there and all the
23:19
trailers that were this like every
23:21
character in the MCU was there that day
23:23
you know when we were going to you know
23:25
down his funeral that's crazy yeah it
23:28
was just crazy and the feeling and
23:29
nobody had even seen Bree yet she shows
23:32
up and I'm like who is that you know I
23:34
kind of knew who she was because I knew
23:36
what was going to happen with us uh and
23:38
even after this even after secret
23:40
invasion
23:42
I'm moving on to the Marvels you know
23:45
where you got like three different
23:47
people who are Captain Marvel you got
23:50
you know you got Bree you got you know a
23:53
black Captain Marvel and you got a
23:55
Muslim Captain Marvel you know so
23:58
they're they're working on the universe
24:01
in a way that's inclusive you know even
24:04
like Shang Chi and all those things that
24:06
happen there and who the hell is Bad
24:08
Bunny gonna be yeah
24:11
buddies in the Marvels
24:15
do that what are you gonna be somebody
24:18
exciting yeah we hope so and as we watch
24:21
you know how all these things play out
24:23
and what you know the world of
24:27
superheroes is when people continue to
24:29
say well we hate these superhero movies
24:31
I'm sick of this you know they just you
24:33
know make some movies that make sense
24:35
well
24:37
some people like superhero movies yeah a
24:39
whole bunch of people you know I'm one
24:41
of them you know I'm I'm really proud
24:43
that I've been part of it uh and
24:47
I think this the the significance of
24:50
characters that have been in those
24:52
things that that that people care about
24:54
in a specific kind of way uh is speaks
24:58
to why you know the Spider-Man movie is
25:01
making so much money right now you know
25:03
why not you know it should you know and
25:05
Miles Morales is you know somebody
25:08
that's different from Peter Parker you
25:11
know because it can be and it should be
25:14
you know you hear people you know
25:15
fussing about you know you know oh Black
25:18
Mermaid now mermaids aren't real they
25:20
can be black they can be green they can
25:21
get orange they're not real things but
25:25
representing it and giving people
25:29
a fantasy life or something that takes
25:32
them away from the reality of the crap
25:34
that we have to deal with day in day out
25:36
of you know mass shootings uh robberies
25:40
homelessness all these other things uh
25:43
we still need an outlet a place to go to
25:48
take us out of it even if it's for two
25:50
hours or an hour and a half or whatever
25:52
you know we can't sit in the house and
25:54
stream this crap all the time you know
25:56
uh people have been trying to kill
25:57
movies I don't know for how long so when
26:00
when videotape showed up yeah like oh
26:03
that's the end of movies people are
26:05
gonna sit at home watch videos oh DVD
26:07
showed up oh no people don't go to the
26:08
movies there's something about going to
26:10
the big dark room with a bunch of other
26:12
people yeah that is not gonna change
26:15
because that's who we are as humans we
26:19
want to share experiences that's why we
26:21
go to amusement parks to be thrilled
26:23

26:27
get on that roller coaster together to
26:29

26:33
whatever we do together because it's a
26:36
human experience that humans like to
26:39
share those experiences with each other
26:40
that's why we do it and that's why I do
26:43
it because I want to entertain people
