He's back, man! He's back, man!
Oh, come on! We love you!
They love you! I love you!
Thank you, buddy.
That was a great move on the inside.
That last move on the inside.
I beat Jimmy Johnson.
I just saw him. He's devastated.
He was crying.
He was. He should be.
He should be very upset.
But I beat you, so by default,
that means I beat Jimmy Johnson, too, right?
That's right.
Last time you were here,
not only did you beat me, but...
Sorry to bring it up.
No, you have to.
But we had some obstacles.
They were getting in your way,
and you were so cool.
You took your feet off the end.
You high-fived both of the dudes.
As you were going, I was like,
ah, he's a movie star.
I was a little rigged,
because the vomiting only happened on you.
Didn't one guy vomit on you?
Oh, yeah. Someone threw up on me.
I like how you almost forgot that.
Yeah.
It was two bro dudes, yeah,
and then one guy just kept throwing up.
Projectile vomit.
It was like, you know,
fruit punch or something.
But anyway, that was super fun.
It's good to see you, man.
It's always good to see you.
You know, I read about you over the weekend.
I know you performed at Joan Rivers' funeral.
It was a very nice thing to do.
It was amazing.
I must admit,
I've been to several funerals,
and I've always kind of felt
for the person who has to sing.
You know, I've always thought,
oh, how do you do that?
And at her funeral,
you know, when Joan Rivers asks,
you just answer.
And she had planned everything out,
and she'd seen me in a show
called The Boy From Oz,
which I did here in Broadway.
Absolutely.
Thank you.
Absolutely.
And I sang a song from that,
and it was called Quiet Please.
There's a lady on stage,
and it's a beautiful celebration
of a woman,
and it was for her.
And the entire audience
in the synagogue got up
and started clapping and cheering.
And the whole thing
was very uplifting,
very touching and moving,
but funny.
It was...
Funny, yeah.
She would want it to be funny.
Yeah, and when the bagpipes
came out at the end,
I mean, everyone just started laughing.
In the synagogue,
out come the bagpipes.
Irish bagpipers?
Exactly.
I mean, that's perfect, right?
It was.
She was an amazing woman,
and it was an appropriate send-off,
and I felt honored to be part of it.
That was great.
That was very, very nice of you to do.
I follow you on Instagram,
and I see all these photos of you.
It's like a travel magazine.
It's you, like, on a mountain,
and you, like, in a weird river
in the Amazon.
Like, I don't know.
Where are you?
Photoshop.
All Photoshop.
All Photoshop, yeah.
You know, I'm an Aussie.
Like, Aussies.
I don't know if you've noticed this.
We're the only Aussies here today.
I know.
We've got one.
My mate Matty is out here.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah, a world champion swimmer,
actually.
Where are you, Matt?
Yell out, Matt.
Yeah, mate.
Yeah, that's how people
yell in Australia.
Yeah, mate.
I'm gonna bloody kill you for that.
Yeah, don't call me out, mate.
Yeah, yeah.
You did mention my Olympic medals.
Thanks, mate.
Well, you see,
anyway, we travel.
Like, so I was in England
shooting a movie called Pan.
So, you know,
we have a weekend.
We just go anywhere.
I mean, you see,
in Australia,
when you grow up,
it's a three-hour drive
to your cousin's place.
You know, it's like,
it takes forever to get anywhere.
So when someone says,
you can get on a train
in two hours,
you're in Paris,
I'm like, let's go.
You've only got the day off.
I said, terrific.
Let's go today and tomorrow.
So we did Florence.
We did Belgium.
We did everything.
It was awesome.
And by the way,
speaking of Aussies and travel,
never let an Aussie
stay with you.
Ever.
They will never leave.
Ever leave.
Really?
Yeah.
You know when you say,
well, I've only got a couch.
Terrific.
Three months later.
Yeah, it's just,
I offered the couch.
No worries,
the floor,
this is good.
I'm here.
I'll lay on the floor.
Give me the key.
Aussies never leave.
They don't leave.
Terrible.
All right, good tip.
That's a good tip.
In fact,
this couch.
No, no,
you have to leave.
You,
you have to leave.
We have other people
on the show.
Keep going.
No,
you have to leave.
I'm not going.
I never did this,
but I have to ask you
to please leave.
What are you talking about?
There's music,
there's food,
there's everything.
No,
please,
you can't.
Keep going,
man.
I feel at home now.
Let's keep going.
No, keep talking.
This is good.
Let's talk about your father.
Where is my phone?
Have you got my phone?
Where's the food?
No, there is no food.
I think I have a candy or something.
Guests, get the remote control.
Where's my remote?
Oh my gosh,
you're the worst.
Get out of my house.
