[Jimmy Fallon]

From Studio 6B in Rockamunder center in the heart of New York City, it's a tonight show starring Jimmy Fallon. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Tonight joins Jimmy Disgust, Jennifer Lawrence, Tom Felton. And featuring she legendary Ruth Ruth, 22 under. And now here he is, Jimmy Fallon. Sa. Come on. That's fantastic. I appreciate it. Thank you very much. Enjoy yourself. Enjoy yourself.

Welcome, everybody. Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Tonight Show.

You here, this is it.

Brand new, hot fresh show for you tonight. Well, guys, yesterday was the first election day since President Trump took office and the Democrats swept all the major races across the country. Let's just say for Trump, it was a huge kick in the ballroom, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. For Democrats, it was a night of celebration. They dropped so many balloons, everyone's hair looked like Bernie Sanders. It was a amazing. The only other way for Democrats to be this happy is if they opened up a Trader Joe's inside a Whole Foods. Do you know what I'm saying? Of course, the race everyone's talking about is here in New York City where 34 year old Zoran Mamdani was elected as the next mayor. Today, tourists in midtown of taking a photo with Times Square Elmo or Times Square Cuomo. And it was. Let's do it real quick. Come on. Yep. Mom, Donny is just 34 years old. Yep. We've had subway delays last longer than that. 34 years. We've had government shutdowns longer than that. Yep. New York's first millennial mayor. He's young enough to use Spotify, but old enough to have a caselogic binder of CDs in his car. His first order of business is ensuring every renter gets an affordable home and every restaurant gets avocado toast. After the big win, other New York City mayors started passing along advice to Mamdani. Yep. For instance, Mike Bloomberg said, always listen to the voters and deliver on what you promised. Eric Adams said, congrats on the win and try to work for all New Yorkers. Bill de Blasio said, as tempting as it sounds, don't drop a groundhog on its head. And finally, Rudy Giuliani said, if you're moving to Gracie Mansion, can I live in your apartment? It's nice they all reached out. I thought that would shuffle a bit. Well, guys, the government shutdown is now the longest shutdown in US History. It's a big deal. So President Trump has actually agreed to join us right now for an interview about it. Thank you for being here, Mr. President. Remind me, how long has the Shutdown been going on 36 days. And how many times have you gone golfing during that time?

36 times.

Okay, well, things are at a standstill. Democrats want health care funding. What do Republicans want? A world class ballroom. Right, right. Your ballroom. Are you planning to add anything else to the White House?

Burger King, Wendy's and McDonald's.

Okay, very good. Well, the shutdown has been a mess. Who's handling TSA SCRE and air traffic control?

Don Jr. And Eric.

Now I just read that your approval rating is at an all time low. How do you plan to get it back up again? Viagra. All right, well that. That won't help. That won't help. But your numbers have really dropped among young people. What can you say to win them back?

Six, seven.

Nice try. Nice try. Let's talk about yesterday's elections. What do you think of New York's new mayor? His name is Zoran Melania. No, let's try that again. It's Zoran.

Mommy, Daddy.

No, no. Let's try it one last time. It's Zoran Mar? A Lago. Okay, forget it. Look, last thing. When the shutdown ends and Congress turns the lights back on, what will you say if they try to release the Epstein files?

No. Get those lights off.

[Jennifer Lawrence]

Off.

[Jimmy Fallon]

All right.

Thank you for your time, sir.

I appreciate that. It's nice of him to do that interview. Well, switching gears, TikTok just announced their first ever award show and they're airing it on Tub. TikTok was like, how can we take something everyone is on and show it on something nobody is on? Even the CEO of Tubi was like, damn, I gotta figure out how to download Tubi. Did you see this story? This is wild. Tom Brady just revealed that his dog is a clone of his family's old dog. Then a second Tom Brady ran into the room and yelled, don't listen to him.

He's not the real Tom Brady. I'm to.

Some business news. Ahead of the upcoming movie Wicked for good, Dunkin Donuts just unveiled the new Wicked themed menu. Yeah. People were like, is that why the donuts are green? And Dunkin said, sure. And finally, Maine's largest healthcare provider had to apologize after sending out death notices to over 500 living people. It got weird when they sent in a correction that said you weren't supposed to get this until next month.

We have a great show. Give it up for the Ruto.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Everything. Everything you say kind of gets picked up in the press and it's so.

[Jennifer Lawrence]

I'm so annoying.

[Jimmy Fallon]

You are not.

[Jennifer Lawrence]

I did an interview where they were like, you know, everybody thought you were annoying. Or I said I was annoying. I don't remember how it started, but I was like. But I was like, yeah, like, I was hyper and I was, you know, and I was annoying. And then the Internet, the sweet Internet, I've never said that before. Was just like rushed to my support and was like, you're not annoying.

[Jimmy Fallon]

You're not.

[Jennifer Lawrence]

We never thought you were annoying. But that is annoying. Cause I like, weaponized my experience to make everybody, like, stick up for me, not to stick up for me. And I'M like, oh, my God, that is so annoying. Like, just.

[Tom Felton]

Just.

[Jennifer Lawrence]

I am annoying, and I am okay with that. Okay. And I don't want anybody to stick up for you anything.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Okay. We're not. I don't know how I'm gonna do the rest of this interview.

[Tom Felton]

[Jennifer Lawrence]

Sorry.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Is that type of language gonna be in freaking. Thank you. There's the new film that I saw that you and no. Cola's Cola. Emma Stone.

[Jennifer Lawrence]

Miss Piggy.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Miss Piggy. I heard you're working on maybe a possible film about Miss Piggy.

[Jennifer Lawrence]

I am.

[Jimmy Fallon]

So that sounds great.

[Jennifer Lawrence]

During. Thank you. So during lockdown, one of my good friends who's not in the industry was like. It was also kind of around Cancel Culture. It was like, both things were kind of happening at once. We were all locked up in our rooms.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yep. And getting naughty.

[Jennifer Lawrence]

People were being locked up.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yes, yes, yes. That's true.

[Jennifer Lawrence]

And she was like, miss Piggy is a feminist icon. And she said, you know, it would be so funny if Miss Piggy got canceled. Now, that is not the plot necessarily, but it got the wheels turning of, like, your friend is very funny. There's been, like, a feminist, like, a Miss Piggy starring in this movie. So I was. I started kind of producing it. But Emma Stone is the Muppet Head also. Emma Stone is a shark. I am not Emma Stone, like, will turn around, like, in a leather jacket with a cigar and be like, hey, kid.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah.

[Jennifer Lawrence]

Let me tell you a thing or two about Hollywood. Yeah.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah. Okay.

[Jennifer Lawrence]

I'm like, the ideas guy.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yes. And you go, yeah.

[Jennifer Lawrence]

So I went to her to be like, what do we do?

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah.

How do we do this?

Lead the charge.

[Jennifer Lawrence]

So now Cole is writing it. They're perfect. And.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah, that is so fun. And you'll be in it as well.

[Jennifer Lawrence]

Yeah, I think so. Yeah. I mean, I have to be. So.

[Tom Felton]

Yes.

[Jennifer Lawrence]

I mean, I want to be.

[Jimmy Fallon]

All right, so that movie we're looking forward to. But now let's talk about the movie that we could see this Friday, Die, My Love. Congratulations on this.

[Jennifer Lawrence]

Thank you.

[Jimmy Fallon]

This is based on a book. And how did you hear about this?

[Jennifer Lawrence]

Well, I've told the story before, so that's why we. I know, but just, like, fast forward or don't watch it or something. I don't know.

[Jimmy Fallon]

No, I like this story.

[Jennifer Lawrence]

Martin Scorsese was like, I read this book in my book club, and I was like, what?

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yes.

[Jennifer Lawrence]

Sweet. And he was like, I think you'd be great in it. And, you know, and then I read it and, like, I didn't get it at first. I mean, it was like. It was an incredible role. Like, very, you know, woman under the influence. Very Cassavetes. But it was all told from, like, her perspective. So I kind of didn't figure out. I couldn't figure out how to, like, crack it as a film. But I didn't want to, like, call Marty and be like, I didn't get it. Yeah.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Reese's. Martin Scorsese.

[Jennifer Lawrence]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So then I sat with her for a while, realized, you know, it's not literal. And Lynde Ramsey is somebody who I've always wanted to work with. So basically, she cracked it. And she's cracked it.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Boy, she cracked it.

[Jennifer Lawrence]

I can't believe I'm still talking.

[Jimmy Fallon]

No. What are you actually. No, stop crying.

Stop crying. No, this is fun. You're having fun on a talk show.

Stop crying. Yes. Trust me, this is fun.

Okay.

Robert Pattinson plays your husband.

[Jennifer Lawrence]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah. Was that your idea to cast him?

[Jennifer Lawrence]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Why not? Why not?

[Jennifer Lawrence]

Yeah. No, this was actually. This is actually how, you know, you're working with, like, a God auteur. Every single person who was our first choice in casting said yes. Did it, like, Sissy Spacek, Nick Nolte, Robert Pattinson, Lakeith, like, it was Keith Stanville. I've never dealt with that as a producer. I've never dealt with just, like, you know, our A plus choice. I have a funny producing story. So in Canada, we speak mostly the same language, but there are, like.

[Jimmy Fallon]

I think we do.

[Jennifer Lawrence]

Yeah. Well, yeah, but, like, there are certain words that would get confused. So in Canada, they call the trailer your room. And so we call trailers trailers because they're trailers. And we call our room, like, the hotel room that we're living in for months. So when my producing partner got a text from our line producer that was like, these three background kids have nowhere to stay. Like, can they use your room? And she's thinking, my hotel room that I live in, like, three kids. Is that insurable?

[Jimmy Fallon]

Like, I. Yeah, it sounds illegal. Yeah.

[Jennifer Lawrence]

Yeah. And so she's like, well, geez, I don't know. Like, all my stuff's in there. And the line producer's, like, getting more and more flabbergasted. He's like, I'll help you move your stuff. And she's like, I don't know. I mean. And then finally he, like, throws his hands up and he's like, fine, I'll ask Lynn, the director. And we're like, no, don't ask the director to move out of her home. Yeah. Like, okay, let's figure this out. Like, this whole back and forth where he thinks we're crazy. We obviously think he's crazy.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah.

[Jennifer Lawrence]

And then it was. It was just a misunderstanding.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Oh, my God.

Unbelievable. Unbelievable. You're unbelievable. I heard that you and Robin Pattinson had to do, like, a dance class together to kind of get to know each other. Like an interpretive dance.

[Jennifer Lawrence]

Interpretive dance. So the director was like, you know, we actually didn't know each other. I mean, we're like actors, so we've, like, seen each other, but we did not know each other. And so we got there to Canada. A few weeks at Canada, we had to learn how to speak Canadian. And it's the same.

[Jimmy Fallon]

It's the same language.

[Jennifer Lawrence]

It's really not.

[Jimmy Fallon]

I know. I know.

[Jennifer Lawrence]

I can tell you've never filmed in El Canada.

[Tom Felton]

El Canada.

[Jennifer Lawrence]

So anyway, she made us do interpretive dance. It was very embarrassing.

[Jimmy Fallon]

How is he as a dancer better than you?

[Jennifer Lawrence]

He didn't advance me. I mean, I'm sure nobody remembers, but we danced together. But we danced together.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah. We had a great time dancing together.

[Jennifer Lawrence]

We saw J. Lo. We wanted to dance with her.

[Jimmy Fallon]

We wanted to dance with J. Lo.

[Jennifer Lawrence]

Yeah. We were like, let's go ask her to dance.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah, dance.

Come on, dance with us.

[Jennifer Lawrence]

Why wouldn't she want to dance with us?

[Jimmy Fallon]

Dance with us.

[Jennifer Lawrence]

And then we had choreographed a little spin.

[Jimmy Fallon]

That's right.

[Jennifer Lawrence]

And then I did the spin. Yeah.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Into J. Lo.

[Jennifer Lawrence]

You did start to spin me. Like you spun me. And then we were both going to go dance with us.

[Jimmy Fallon]

That's correct.

[Jennifer Lawrence]

And then I turn around, you were not there.

[Jimmy Fallon]

I spun you, and I left.

[Jennifer Lawrence]

I think you left the whole party.

[Jimmy Fallon]

I left. I went home.

[Jennifer Lawrence]

Yeah.

[Tom Felton]

I was like.

[Jennifer Lawrence]

So anyway, Rob stayed, and I always. When he was leaving.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Gosh, he gets called Rob.

[Jennifer Lawrence]

Yeah. Sometimes I even call him Bob.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Bob.

[Jennifer Lawrence]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Bob Pattinson.

[Jennifer Lawrence]

Bob Pattinson.

[Jimmy Fallon]

I just. I have. All the Internet's going crazy that Katniss and Edward are in a movie together.

[Jennifer Lawrence]

Yep. Well, I'm very nervous.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yes. That's right. Yes. We want that.

[Jennifer Lawrence]

Everyone.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Katniss and Edward and. Katniss and Edward. Twilight and Hunger Games. No. Yes.

[Jennifer Lawrence]

I'm very nervous that people are gonna, like, sprint to the theater thinking it's like, Katniss and Edward fanfic, and it's not. It's like a very, like, idiosyncratic, like, Poetic, like work of art.

[Jimmy Fallon]

It's beautiful, by the way.

[Jennifer Lawrence]

No, it is. It's great. But if you're expecting fanfic, it's not fair. You're gonna be really disappointed. I'm just afraid it's gonna come out and everybody's gonna be mad at me.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Never. I'm gonna read good reviews about you.

[Jennifer Lawrence]

My arm. Oh, it looks good.

[Jimmy Fallon]

It's great. This review.

[Jennifer Lawrence]

I'm totally fine with that.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah. You're fine with that. Here are some reviews about you.

[Jennifer Lawrence]

No, no, no. Please, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

[Jimmy Fallon]

It's from me. These are reviews that I wrote down.

[Jennifer Lawrence]

I don't know how to respond to that.

[Jimmy Fallon]

No. I said, jennifer Lawrence is astonishing, and I sent it to Vanity Fair. I said, jennifer Lawrence is a powerhouse. I sent that one to Newsweek.

Absolutely not. He's a charming little boy. Uh, I will say. I, I, I've had friends go see this Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, and they said the effects that they've done, the magic, it's all practical.

[Tom Felton]

It is, yeah. It's. My mom actually asked me when I started the rehearsals, has it taken away anything from the magic, as in knowing how everything works? And quite the opposite. One of the deals I had with the team was that I don't want to know how the magic is done.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah.

[Tom Felton]

Once you know how the trick's done, you lose it. I sort of said that. I'll figure it out. I was reminded that I do have to know some of it because I. Yeah, you're.

[Jimmy Fallon]

I'm part of it.

You're staring at it. Yeah, exactly.

[Tom Felton]

I'm staring at it six feet away from them on the wings, trying to figure out how they do various. There's so many fantastic illusions. And it's a great Broadway show. Yeah, it really is. So. And if I don't know, then, then good luck for the rest of you. But it's certainly.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Did you have to relearn any spells or was there any things that you go, oh, I know how to do this. Trust me. Don't give me direction. I'm.

[Tom Felton]

I won't lie. I was a little rusty with the wand at first, as they say.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Do they? Yeah, I do.

Sure.

Someone says that I'm a little rusty with the wand. You know what I'm saying?

[Tom Felton]

I shall ask no more questions. But, yeah, the wand skills are back. Yes, absolutely. Expelliarmus is of a great wand. Yes, absolutely. It felt so good to have a wand back in hand and see that.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Look at how good you look. Come on. You're a stud. This is what I'm, this is what I'm talking. But your, but your character, Draco, is now dad.

[Tom Felton]

Yes.

[Jimmy Fallon]

In this. And he's actually got a good heart.

[Tom Felton]

Well, I wouldn't go that far. But he.

[Jimmy Fallon]

But he's good. I mean, he's breaking the lineage of.

[Tom Felton]

Lucius parentage towards Draco because Lucius was not a great dad, in case you don't know. And he's trying to be slightly more affectionate towards his son Scorpius. So I grew up being Malfoy Junior. Yeah. And now I'm Malfoy Senior, which feels a bit odd.

[Jimmy Fallon]

What house would you end up in now?

[Tom Felton]

Well, I think we all know the answer to it. It's definitely Slytherin. I did. I did hear you mispronounce Potter earlier. It sounded like Potter.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah. Potter. Harry Potter.

[Tom Felton]

Potter.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Harry Harry Potter.

[Tom Felton]

Very good. That's better. Harry Potter. Thank you so much for having me here. I can't leave without knowing what house you're in. Come on.

[Jimmy Fallon]

What are the good attributes of Slytherin?

[Tom Felton]

Well, pride, ambition and I like Slytherin because there's a bit of room for mischievousness. It means that you have good intentions, but you might do something awry if it comes up and rears its head.

[Jimmy Fallon]

What do you think?

[Jennifer Lawrence]

What?

[Jimmy Fallon]

How?

[Tom Felton]

I don't know. What do you think?

[Jimmy Fallon]

Really?

Hufflepuff, come on, man.

What do you.

[Jennifer Lawrence]

Yes.

[Tom Felton]

You agree? This is a big. This is a big deal.

[Jimmy Fallon]

By the way, I'm Hufflepuff. Is he okay? I agree. They think I'm huff. What's.

[Tom Felton]

I did it with my family and I'm ashamed to say I have three older brothers and all of them are Hufflepuffs.

[Jennifer Lawrence]

You have.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Maybe you have that magnetic effect. Everyone that hangs out with you is a Hufflepuff without.

[Tom Felton]

I've only just. We've only just met, but I can. I think you are welcome in Slytherin. House all the way.

[Jimmy Fallon]

You do?

[Tom Felton]

Well, you'll have to take the test. Come to the show.

[Jimmy Fallon]

I'm. To the show. I'm going to take the test. And I'm happy to be friends with someone from Slytherin. Thank you so much for coming on the show.

Cheers, Jimmy.
