Show Host/Interviewer
Enjoy yourself. Welcome, everybody. Welcome, welcome. Welcome to the Tonight Show.
Jimmy Fallon
This is it. You're here.
Show Host/Interviewer
Thank you for watching. This is fun. Today is Cinco de Mayo. Yeah, Cinco de Mayo. Or as Cash Patel calls it, take your tequila to work day. Well, guys, some news from Washington this morning. President Trump signed a proclamation to officially bring the Presidential Fitness Day back to schools. Trump is very into fitness. In fact, whenever somebody asks about the Epstein files, he sprints out of the room. He really does. But this is nice. Trump said that the fittest kids will get to come to the White House and help build the ballroom. Isn't that nice? Trump signed the proclamation in the Oval Office alongside a group of children. Let's see how that went.
Donald Trump (clips)
It was a rigged election. And I said, oh, I'll do it again. I had the ultimate poll. I did so well. A Republican. I would say that Republicans were not too big in the Kennedy family. The Middle east would have been gone, Israel would have been gone, and they would have trained their sights on Europe first and then us.
Show Host/Interviewer
Just. Just say six, seven, and get it. Come on, be nice. The kids are like, well, this could have been an email. Come on. Meanwhile, a new poll just found that most Americans think Trump is mentally and physically unfit to serve effectively. Well, at least he's rock solid, emotionally. Speaking of mental fitness, Trump just talked about how well he did on his recent cognitive test. Watch this.
Donald Trump (clips)
The first question is very easy and they always show. The first question is, you have a lion, a bear, an alligator, and a. What's another good. A squirrel. Okay. Which is the squirrel. By the time you get to the middle, they're tough.
Show Host/Interviewer
Yeah, you get a little tough. That's where they ask you to identify your children by name.
Audience Member/Fan
I have no idea.
Show Host/Interviewer
Well, guys, we're in the 10th week of the war in Iran, and it has been going well for President Trump. Let's break down the situation. The Strait of Hormuz is still blocked, which has limited a lot of business transactions, or as Trump calls them, business transactions. Also, the military is running low on defensive missiles, or as Trump calls them,
Donald Trump (clips)
defensive mishes and missiles.
Show Host/Interviewer
Basically, after 10 weeks, it's not going the way Trump suspected.
Justin Hartley
Or is he?
Show Host/Interviewer
He says it's been a major test for the members of our armed forces. Or as he calls them, the members
Donald Trump (clips)
of our armed forces. And you understand that very well.
Show Host/Interviewer
But Trump still claims we're winning despite these obstacles. Or as he put it, despite these obstacles.
Donald Trump (clips)
Karen.
Show Host/Interviewer
Overall, it feels like Trump's presidency is losing a lot of momentum. Or as he calls it, momentum. But together, America can do anything. We just sent four astronauts around the moon in that beautiful Orion space capsule. Or as he calls it, that beautiful Orion space capsicle. Anyway, no matter what happens, you know, Trump will still say he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. Or as he calls it, the Nobel priest.
Donald Trump (clips)
Oh, do you know this?
Show Host/Interviewer
I hope that. Capsicle. Capsicle. Gosh. Now listen to this. According to a new report, Trump is planning to deport hundreds of bison from Montana. Meanwhile, raccoons without penises are like, take us with you. Speaking of RFK Jr, This is going viral. He recently posted a photo from the Dulles Airport in D.C. this is real. Holding a bird that he claimed he rescued. Take a look. Looks like he's trying to rob a bank. With a bird? Well, you know what they say. A bird in the hand is worth two raccoon penises in your pocket. Switching gears, the Met gala was last night, and there were so many amazing looks. Here to rate them is our Tonight show fashion correspondent, Oregon von Valemuth.
Jimmy Fallon
Hello, Jimmy.
Oregon von Valemuth
You look astronomically aboravent today. Shoe with sock. How dare you. I love it. Three maracas.

Show Host/Interviewer
Wait, wait. Is that good or bad?
Oregon von Valemuth

Walt Frazier
Ooh.
Show Host/Interviewer
Oh, that is cake. There you go. Finally, guys, it was a huge win at the Garden last night. The New York Knicks took Game 1
Jimmy Fallon
against the Philadelphia Sixers. Yes. Go Knicks.
Show Host/Interviewer
Well, we wanted to have some fun with Knicks fans, so we sent our writer Deion down there and challenged him to get fans to say random words. He couldn't say the word himself or directly ask them to say it. Let's see how it went. This is. Repeat after me,
Deion (Writer)
Jimmy. We're down here at the world's most famous arena and we're going to talk to some of the fans about the NBA semifinals. Let's go. What do the Knicks have to do to be victorious tonight?
Audience Member/Fan
I mean, they got to keep playing like they were playing the last game, you know, Cat. No fouls. Hopefully another triple double.
Deion (Writer)
That's correct. And what game are they playing?
Audience Member/Fan
They're it. I mean, the game, it's the best one.
Deion (Writer)
What about the literal name of the game that they're playing?
Show Host/Interviewer
Basketball?
Deion (Writer)
It all starts on the defensive end. I love how confident you are. They gotta stick on them, right?
Show Host/Interviewer
Yeah, they do.
Deion (Writer)
Like that, like. Oh, what is it? That material that really sticks.
Show Host/Interviewer
Like glue. Like glue.
Deion (Writer)
But it makes a sound when it sticks.
Justin Hartley
Velcro. Cat needs to go off. Ken needs to play with that New York, that defense.
Deion (Writer)
I'm so glad you said go off because off. You know, off that you spray off.
Justin Hartley
Yeah, the mosquitoes your wife just went to.
Jimmy Fallon
Where?
Justin Hartley
Paris.
Deion (Writer)
What's that bread that they make there?
Justin Hartley
I'll tell you what it is. Focaccia.
Donald Trump (clips)
The.
Deion (Writer)
The Sixers.
Walt Frazier
Give me the.
Audience Member/Fan
The.
Deion (Writer)
What is it called when you get the jeepies? There's like an ocean animal that I'm thinking of when I do this with the flaccid play, you know, what is that? What is that in the water all the time.
Audience Member/Fan
The what?
Show Host/Interviewer
A jellyfish.
Deion (Writer)
Yes, exactly.
Walt Frazier
Necks are hot, baby.
Show Host/Interviewer
Yeah.
Deion (Writer)
Compare their hotness to something else. Like maybe something you'd cook with Buffalo wings. But what kind of a device might you cook them in?
Show Host/Interviewer
Stove, grill, oven.
Deion (Writer)
One that blows real hot. What kind of appliance blows really hot?
Audience Member/Fan
Oven, barbecue, grill.
Deion (Writer)
One that blows directly down onto the food and cooks it.
Walt Frazier
Microwave. Microwave.
Jimmy Fallon
Let's go.
Deion (Writer)
Next. You know, I feel like one more thing. I just feel like a victory would be like, what is the phrase I'm looking for? It's like, maybe you remember it from, like, Colonel Sanders. You remember they would say of the chicken, it was finger licking.
Show Host/Interviewer
Finger licking good.
Oregon von Valemuth
Yes.
Deion (Writer)
And what is the best thing to have to eat alongside of that Philly cheesesteak?
Walt Frazier
A beautiful, beautiful Coca Cola.
Deion (Writer)
You don't know what's gonna happen next. Like, on that.
Donald Trump (clips)
I hate.
Deion (Writer)
Wow. I can never think of the name of it. That one show on hbo, it's a series. It's crazy. There are hotels and stuff.
Oregon von Valemuth
Oh, they're White Lotus.
Show Host/Interviewer
Is that what you're.
Deion (Writer)
Yes, that is exactly.
Show Host/Interviewer
What way is White Lotus?
Oregon von Valemuth
Like the New York Knicks to a
Deion (Writer)
soft drink, what would you compare them to?
Show Host/Interviewer
Coca Cola were the best in the game.
Deion (Writer)
Now, if you had to compare them to a green soft drink, what would it be?
Justin Hartley
Mountain Dew.
Show Host/Interviewer
All right, so actually, I won two free tickets.
Deion (Writer)
You just bounced over here from there?
Show Host/Interviewer
I'm right over here. God.
Deion (Writer)
Like, just like. What's that noise that it makes when you bounce down the street?
Show Host/Interviewer
I was like, boing, boing, boing.
Justin Hartley
You know, that's crazy, man.
Deion (Writer)
That's all from the Garden. Back to you, Jimmy.
Jimmy Fallon
Not bad, Dion. Nine out of 12. We have a great show. Give it up for the Roots, ladies and gentlemen. Yeah.
Audience Member/Fan
Up steps, the one and only in the flesh. Senegalese, Sierra Leone, and fresh. The death big. The homie in the rest. The rest, y' all know me from somewhere. Numbers black than west.
Jimmy Fallon
Oh, very good. Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Tonight Show.

Show Host/Interviewer
Mick is on tomorrow night. Keith is on Thursday, and then Ronnie is on next Wednesday. They have a new album out July 10th called Foreign Tongues. It's fantastic. We'll be talking to them about that. Lots of fun stuff planned. I cannot wait. It's Rolling Stones week on the Tonight Show.
Jimmy Fallon
Who? The Stones.
Show Host/Interviewer
Foreign Tongues. It was a great game last night. Sorry, Roots, but Knicks roots are From Philly. But The Knicks won 137 to 98. 137. Yeah, it was great. I went to the game. I was lucky enough to get tickets to the game. So I went last night. And it happened again. They upgraded my seats because I'll take any seat. I'll go anywhere. But they go, oh, you want to sit? I go, I'm okay. And they go, yeah, you should do it. I go, I'm fine. They go, no. Then they put me next to the team. Oh, it's stressful. It's stress. I don't know what to do. I'm hearing play calls. I'm hearing the coach yell at the players, and they're yelling at. I mean, it's too inside. I don't like it. It frightens me. And I'm right next to them. They're standing right there. Make you feel tiny. Yeah, they're big athletes. Yeah. Even the referees are big. I mean, the referee's butt was in my face for, like, the whole game right there. I mean, I was just, like, sitting there, like, I don't want to get in anyone's way or so I don't make eye contact. I don't. I don't look at the Knicks because they've all been on the show. Jaylen Brunson been on a bunch of times. Kat has been on a bunch of times. Josh Hart has been on the show many times. Super fun guy and cool. But I don't want to distract him and have him go like, hey, how you doing? You know? But Josh. Josh Hart is just fun, and he's cool. So he came up to me and was like, what's up? I shook my hand. I didn't want anything to do with it. Just go play the game and win. And so anyways, the game's playing, they're winning, and then this happens to me. Watch this.
Josh Hart
Three minutes left in this third.
Oregon von Valemuth
Look at.
Josh Hart
Look at Josh Hart. You know, he's always known as a jokester and goes right up to the ultimate jokester. Jimmy Fallon says, yeah, let me. Let me help you out with that. Unties his shoe. That was a quick retie by Fallon.
Show Host/Interviewer
He untied my shoe. It's the best move ever. Did he lean down? I thought he was fixing stuff on his own. He went down and just untied my shoe. He walked off, man. It was just made me laugh. And now I'm just gonna know from now on, I'm just gonna wear cowboy boots to the knickking. Yeah. Go Knicks.
Jimmy Fallon

I appreciate that. It's always good to see you as well.
Show Host/Interviewer
Congrats again. Yeah. There's Justin Hartley in the house. Congrats on Tracker. It's a big hit. That's fantastic. I saw your beautiful wife backstage. I was gonna ask you, what are you doing for Mother's Day? Anything.
Justin Hartley
Well, so look, Mother's Day, I work a lot, so a lot of times I'm not around my mother.
Show Host/Interviewer
Yeah.
Justin Hartley
For Mother's Day. But when I am around her, she's sort of like. How do I explain? She's a very smart woman, very beautiful woman, very regal, very knowledgeable, and just a treat. Everybody. She walks into a room, and everybody just loves Jackie. She's also a bit of a clown.
Show Host/Interviewer
Okay.
Justin Hartley
And so I got time to spend with her. We were in Beverly Hills. We're shopping. My wife and I are shopping. And I notice that there's some paparazzi that are taking photos of. Which is fine. They're doing their own thing and they're out of the way. But I lean back to my mother and I say, hey, just so you know, I like to give you a little heads up. Like, there's photographs being taken, so whatever. And so she decides to do this whole photobombing thing with me. And it's unbelievable. I think I brought. Yeah, it's outrageous. This woman is like, here's you joking around. There we are trying to be cool and, like, hang out and do our thing. And there's my mother.
Show Host/Interviewer
She's doing faces and doing faces.
Justin Hartley
She's doing faces. So the funny thing is that she's really getting a kick out of it. My daughter's next to her, and she's really just really getting a kick out of the razzing me. So the next day I see this photo, and so I send it to her and I go, look at this. And she goes, oh, it's a good thing they don't publish those things. And I go, where the hell do you think I found the photo, mother? She was mortified and devastated. Devastated. But there's another picture of her really getting a kick out of her. Out of her. Yeah. Now that's what she really looks like, she's gorgeous.
Show Host/Interviewer
She's gorgeous. Gorgeous.
Oregon von Valemuth
Come on, Mom.
Show Host/Interviewer
We love you, Mom.
Justin Hartley
You see how happy she is about Raz and me like that?
Show Host/Interviewer
He's the best.
Justin Hartley
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Show Host/Interviewer
We love you, Mom.
Justin Hartley
We love you. Happy Mother's Day.
Show Host/Interviewer
I saw that you're about to do a college commencement speech.
Justin Hartley
I am.
Show Host/Interviewer
Have you done this before?
Justin Hartley
No. Okay.
Show Host/Interviewer
All right.
Justin Hartley
And so the deal with this whole thing, Jimmy, is that people were like. That's like the fifth time someone's asked me, have you done this before? And then they look at me like that, like, what have you gotten yourself into? Kind of.
Show Host/Interviewer
Yeah. Yeah.
Justin Hartley
And I'm, like, starting to get really nervous about it now. I wasn't nervous before. I was fine. I was like, no, it's great. It's gonna be a lot of fun. I can't wait. These kids accomplish something. It's gonna be amazing.
Show Host/Interviewer
I.
Justin Hartley
Four years out of school. Or five, depending on how long it takes you. Whatever. And six. Whatever.
Show Host/Interviewer
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's go.
Justin Hartley
Let's be real.
Show Host/Interviewer
Before you drop out. Before you drop out.
Justin Hartley
Whatever it takes.
Show Host/Interviewer
I don't know.
Justin Hartley
You and I are sitting here.
Show Host/Interviewer
I know. Exactly.
Justin Hartley
But now I'm starting to get a little nervous about it because it's a lot of pressure. Right. And I'm wondering, like, what I got myself into.
Show Host/Interviewer
No, you're gonna be fit. I hope so. They're gonna love you.
Justin Hartley
I hope so. I hope so.
Show Host/Interviewer
Your daughter's graduating.
Justin Hartley
She's graduating. Yeah. She's graduating in a couple of. Couple months. Yeah.
Show Host/Interviewer
Congratulations. That's wild.
Justin Hartley
Exciting. She's. Yeah, she does really. She does really well in school. She does a. Better than her father did in school. Let me put it that way.
Show Host/Interviewer
Yeah.
Justin Hartley
Yeah.
Show Host/Interviewer
Did you know what you wanted to do when you were in college?
Justin Hartley
No. You know what? I had this really weird idea that I was gonna be. Not weird, but I thought I would be a teacher. My mom's a teacher, so I thought, we'll just go into teaching. Yeah, that's great and wonderful. But then I also had this sort of weird idea that I was gonna be kind of a coach, a professional coach of, like, basketball or baseball or football. I didn't have a sport. I just thought that'd be cool to be a. Like, Bill Cower's got a great job. You know what I mean? I thought I would do that. Just such a fool, really.
Show Host/Interviewer
Yeah. So did you start to go to certain things?
Justin Hartley
No, I didn't do anything. I did nothing. I ended up doing. I ended up doing this Class in college, it was called Oral Interpretation of Children's Literature. And I thought, this is a blow off class. This is going to be easy. Nursery rhymes and things like that.
Show Host/Interviewer
In college?
Justin Hartley
In college, yeah. I thought this is the simple nursery, right?
Jimmy Fallon
Yeah.
Justin Hartley
Hickory, dickory, doc. All this kind of stuff, whatever. Easy A. And you get in there and you start to realize these people who wrote these nursery rhymes are like dropping acid or something's going on that doesn't make any sense. And you gotta interpret all this stuff. And it was an acting class, so you have to get up and perform these nursery rhymes and things like that. I ended up getting this acting bug. I ended up. I was horrified. Completely horrified.
Show Host/Interviewer
Yeah.
Justin Hartley
And then I just ended up loving it. I got cast in a play and I thought, well, this is the greatest thing in the world. I gotta try to do this for the rest of my life.
Show Host/Interviewer
So that's. And it turned out okay so far. So you don't have to coach or anything?
Justin Hartley
I don't have to coach anybody.
Josh Hart
Yeah.
Show Host/Interviewer
Was your first gig on Passions?
Justin Hartley
My first gig was on Passions.
Show Host/Interviewer
Passions was great.
Justin Hartley
It was a trip. It was a trip. And so I got this gig by the skin of my teeth. Barely got it. And I end up showing up and I'm working with this actor, Ben Masters. Late, great Ben Masters. Really talented actor, theater actor, New York actor, really great guy. And he has this three page monologue. I show up, he's my dad in the show. And my line is, hello, father. Makes sense, right? Yeah, easy enough. I got lost in the monologue. He did this three page monologue. This is like day one, he does this three page monologue. I'm just working his tail off, right? He turns around, looks at me, and I'm just mesmerized by this guy's acting. I didn't say a word.
Show Host/Interviewer
He didn't say hello.
Justin Hartley
I ruined the. No, I didn't say anything. I ruined his entire monologue. So that was how I introduced myself to acting.
Show Host/Interviewer
How many times did he have to do the monologue?
Justin Hartley
Well, he had to do it again.
Show Host/Interviewer
Yeah.
Justin Hartley
He wasn't too happy about that.
Show Host/Interviewer
Yeah. But everything worked out okay. Here we are, season three of Tracker. You're crushing it, buddy. It's so good. It's well written. The stunts are good.
Walt Frazier
Yeah.
Show Host/Interviewer
Are you getting better and better at doing stunts?
Justin Hartley
My stunt, you know, I try to do all of my own stunts and I say this in this way on camera. So in other words, when you see them, I like for the audience to see that it's me doing them. Which basically means that I have a stunt team that does those stunts 100 times before I'm allowed to do it at all. So it's not like I'm doing everything. They're doing all the heavy lifting. But when you watch the show, I like to do my own stunts. There's certain things they don't let you do. They're just too dangerous. You're not, you know, I'm not getting in car crashes. I'm not lighting myself on fire. I'm not, you know, I get hurt doing the fake fighting. So it's like, you know.
Show Host/Interviewer
Yeah, that's your. Leave it like that.
Justin Hartley
I see a fake fight coming up and I'm like, oh, man, I gotta stretch out the neck.
Show Host/Interviewer
Oh, you're so good at it. Yeah, thanks. And there's a lot of great. The cast is great as well, surrounding you. The special guest stars. Is there anyone, any dream guest stars you'd like to have on?
Justin Hartley
I mean, look. Well, look, I'm back here. This reminds me. I did a show here for a while called this is Us. I wouldn't mind having those guys on.
Show Host/Interviewer
I mean, they're busy.
Justin Hartley
They're all very, very busy. But yeah, I mean, I think what's such a diverse cast and they can all do a bunch of different things,
Show Host/Interviewer
so that would be so fun.
Justin Hartley
Yeah. They wouldn't come back, like, as my family or anything necessarily, but it would be cool to have them back on.
Show Host/Interviewer
That's when I first met you.
Walt Frazier
Yeah.
Show Host/Interviewer
So I'm happy. I'm thankful for that show. Me too.
Justin Hartley
Me too.
Deion (Writer)
Yeah.
Show Host/Interviewer
Do people still come up to you and say, I love that show, this is us.
Justin Hartley
Yeah, we do. And it's more than just a show even. It's like. It's unbelievable. Just the other day, I had a woman walk up to me and tell me a story about her. Her mother had passed away. If you're watching, that was a lovely story. Her mother had passed away a year and a half ago. She said she had a really tough time getting over it and the show actually helped put her in a better place. And she looked me square in the eye. It was so touching. She didn't have to come up to me. She didn't have to say any of that.
Show Host/Interviewer
It affects people.
Justin Hartley
It affects people in a very big way. It's incredible. And we get the same thing. Believe it or not, with Tracker, where it's like multi generational. People will watch it with their dads, with their kids. It's awesome. It's like the greatest feeling in the world.
Show Host/Interviewer
Yeah. Come on. You're great at it.
Jimmy Fallon
Justin Hartley, everybody. New episodes of Tracker premieres Sundays at 9pm on CBS and stream on Paramount. Justin and I are doing something fun
Show Host/Interviewer
at to the break.
Jimmy Fallon
Stick around.
Show Host/Interviewer
Come on back.
Walt Frazier
Thank you very much.
Jimmy Fallon
Welcome back. I'm here with Justin Hartley once again. Now,
Show Host/Interviewer
Justin, you are on a. You're on a press tour for Tracker, and it can be exhausting answering so many questions. I feel like you could use a break. So we thought that we'd make this interview a little easier for you by writing all of your answers on cue cards over there. Oh. Now, here's the thing. Justin has not seen these cue cards yet. Don't look at them. Oh. So just read whatever's written on the cue cards. Okay. And we'll make this very.
Justin Hartley
You can ask me a question.
Show Host/Interviewer
I'll ask you a question. I'll set up.
Justin Hartley
I don't have to come up with anything.
Oregon von Valemuth
Nope.
Show Host/Interviewer
You just have to read the cue cards. All right, here we go. Tracker has been a thrill ride of a year for you. Yeah. What's been your favorite part of filming this season?
Justin Hartley
Oh, Jimmy, that's a really great question from an even greater man. My favorite part was exploring new types of terrain, like swamps, caves, Jamba Juice. So, for example, my character would often taste. Would often taste a drop of a smoothie on the ground, and he'd say something like, I know that flavor anywhere. That's mango a Go Go. This season. I said that like 6400 times.
Show Host/Interviewer
Wow, that's. Yeah.
Justin Hartley
Mango a Go Go.
Show Host/Interviewer
That's a fascinating story.
Justin Hartley
Yeah, thanks.
Show Host/Interviewer
Have you ever tried to survive alone in the wilderness?
Justin Hartley
Another. I mean, it's just another incredible question from a man I admire. Yeah. You're living. Yeah, yeah. No, I spent three years living in the woods where I fell in love with a. I did. I fell in love with a great horned owl.
Show Host/Interviewer
Wow.
Justin Hartley
I'll never forget what she always used to say to me in owl speak. What is this, Al? Hoot. What's that?
Jimmy Fallon
Hoot. Hoot. Hoot. Hoot.
Show Host/Interviewer
Yeah, yeah.
Jimmy Fallon
Hoot. Hoot. Hoot.
Oregon von Valemuth
Wow.
Show Host/Interviewer
That's a great story. That's beautiful. You like that?
Walt Frazier
Yeah.
Show Host/Interviewer
That's a beautiful. That's a beautiful story.
Justin Hartley
It's all true.
Show Host/Interviewer
So what can you tell us about the season three finale? I mean.
Justin Hartley
Well, this is. It isn't a spoiler. This actually is kind of a spoiler. But basically, my character dies and he goes to heaven. The angels are like, help. Abraham Lincoln is missing. So I track him down. It turns out he's out of Jamba Juice.
Jimmy Fallon
This shows unbelievable storylines. Obsessed with Jamba Juice.
Show Host/Interviewer
Unbelievable storylines. Thank you for sharing that.
Walt Frazier
Yeah, yeah.
Show Host/Interviewer
One last question. Mother's Day's coming up. Any big plans?
Justin Hartley
Yeah, I'm gonna.
Show Host/Interviewer
Yeah, I'm gonna.
Jimmy Fallon
I'm gonna.
Justin Hartley
For Mother's Day, I'm gonna take off all my clothes, I'm gonna tape shrimp all over my body. And I'm gonna let the Seagulls have their way with me for Mother's Day.
Show Host/Interviewer
That's weird. That's not what the card says at all. Can we see the card what it says? I'm taking my mom to a nice brunch. You just talk about it.
Jimmy Fallon
That's so aware. Have a great Mother's Day. Thank you for doing that. Justin. Harley, good morning. We. Good morning. Tonight, everybody, two things are doing next point.
Show Host/Interviewer
Tonight have the Seagulls had their way with me. Our next guest is a new york knicks legend. He's a two time NBA champion, a hall of famer, and he's the voice of the new york knicks on msg network. Please welcome walt clive frazier.
Jimmy Fallon
Welcome.
Show Host/Interviewer
Oh, that's what I'm talking about. Welcome to the show. It is an honor to have you here. I always love seeing you at the games too. And thanks for always being nice to me every time I see you.
Walt Frazier
Thank you, man. The blessing is mine. Praise God, for whom our blessings flow. After all these years, you guys just show me all this respect. I really appreciate that.
Show Host/Interviewer
We love you. And you always look so good. You got that style. It's always. I mean, when did you start dressing this great?
Walt Frazier
It's genetic. My dad was a guy into clothes.
Show Host/Interviewer
Oh, is that right?
Walt Frazier
Yeah. Yeah. And then I came to the Mecca for fashion.
Show Host/Interviewer
Oh, yeah. New York.
Walt Frazier
So when we played, we always wore a suit and tie. Our items were the temptation. The Four Tops.
Show Host/Interviewer
Yeah, yeah.
Walt Frazier
So today the guys dressed like the rappers.
Show Host/Interviewer
Yeah.
Walt Frazier
You see, so no, we came with shirt and tie. Always trying to outdress the other guy. And also, I wasn't playing good as a rookie, so in order to pacify myself, I went shopping.
Show Host/Interviewer
Is that right? I mean, here's some looks that you've done throughout the years. Come on. That's. That was good. When you're looking for a suit, how do you know which one's yours?
Walt Frazier
Well, when I go to a suit place, I say, show me something you think nobody will wear.
Show Host/Interviewer
And then you wear it, and you're really good at it. You were the first NBA Player to have a signature sneaker, by the way. The Puma Clyde. Come on. That's legendary. Legendary.
Walt Frazier
And also, I was the first guy with the bling. The fur coat.
Show Host/Interviewer
Yeah, of course. Look at that.
Walt Frazier
The Rolls Royce.
Show Host/Interviewer
I remember all that stuff.
Walt Frazier
Yeah. Joe Namath and I were controlling the city back in the. Back in the 70s.
Show Host/Interviewer
Yeah. Where did the nickname Clyde come from?
Walt Frazier
Okay, the hat. You see the hat? I was in Baltimore. I was looking in a hat store, and I see this bossalina hat. So I bought the hat. First time I wore it, everybody laughed at me. My teammates, guys on the other team. Because, like today, they were wearing the narrow brim. And then, as fate would have it, the movie Bonnie and Clyde came out,
Show Host/Interviewer
and Warren Beatty's wearing that hat.
Walt Frazier
Yeah, yeah, so. And I used to steal the ball on the court, you know, And I had a few bunnies running after me, too. But, you know,
Show Host/Interviewer
Clyde, I love it. Another great thing that I love about you is you're commentating, and you're very smart, and you obviously know the game and you study it, but you also rhyme very well. You start rhyming out of nowhere. You actually even have a children's book called Winning and Grinning.
Walt Frazier
Correct.
Show Host/Interviewer
Yeah. And also a coloring book as well. Yeah. For kids. Winning and grinning.
Walt Frazier
What a color. The coloring book. Folks, is I trying to teach kids styling and profiling? Do Clyde's suits. Color Clyde's suits.
Show Host/Interviewer
Yeah. Come on. Styling and profiling.
Walt Frazier
Right?
Josh Hart
Right.
Show Host/Interviewer
Yeah. I want to show everyone a video of what I'm talking about when I say you rhyme a lot. Take a look.
Walt Frazier
It's contagious. Outrageous. Slamming and jamming.
Deion (Writer)
Spinning and winning.
Walt Frazier
Rising and surprising and weaving and achieving. Wheeling and chilling. Charismatic. Acrobatic.
Deion (Writer)
Dramatic.
Jimmy Fallon
Emphatic.
Show Host/Interviewer
Yeah.
Jimmy Fallon
Come on. This is the best.
Show Host/Interviewer
How did all that start?
Walt Frazier
Well, you know, I started. I started on radio. So the guy I was working with, he never let me say anything. So if I try to say something, he'd go, excuse me, Walt, right on the air. So if the team was moving the ball and dishing, I'd go, when he had to catch his breath, they're dishing and swishing. They're shaking and baking.
Show Host/Interviewer
Just keep jumping in, trying to get something to say.
Walt Frazier
And then I got a chance to work with Mike Breen. And Mike, of course. So you guys are great, Goes Clyde. The fans want to hear what you have to say, man. So just say it, you know?
Show Host/Interviewer
Yeah.
Walt Frazier
So he catapulted me into the hall of Fame. Mike and I are both hall of Famers now.
Show Host/Interviewer
Yeah. You're a double hall of Famer. Double hall of Famer, are you? The mike is great, too. Are. Are you the only NBA player in. In it twice?
Walt Frazier
Yeah. I'm the first guy into broadcasting. The former player.
Show Host/Interviewer
Come on. He's a Hall of Fame twice. That's what I'm talking about. You actually brought us a notebook that you actually use to come up with the different rhymes and stuff. This is your handwriting, by the way.
Walt Frazier
Wow. It's Helter Skelter. When I'm on the plane, I fly on the plane with the Knicks writer. I'm the only guy with this. Everybody else has a computer, a phone.
Show Host/Interviewer
You're in my hand. Yeah, you're old school, man, all the way.
Walt Frazier
Well, I find that when I write stuff, I retain it more.
Jimmy Fallon
I write stuff now and always. I agree.
Show Host/Interviewer
You should. The last time the Knicks have won a championship was your 1973 championship winning team. Yeah, you. You did it. What do you think of. Of the Knicks this year and do we have a shot?
Walt Frazier
Well, last night, man, I'm. I'm mesmerized.
Show Host/Interviewer
Right.
Walt Frazier
By the way the team is playing. Actually, I'm living vicariously. They remind me of my team. My team personified team. You couldn't mention Frazier without Bradley, without the Bushy, without Reed, without Barnett. And I see similarities to this team. So they're starting to do that. Their camaraderie, their teamwork, they like each other. It's manifested on the court. 33 assists, the way they're dishing and switching now to tenacious defense.
Show Host/Interviewer
Come on.
Walt Frazier
So hopefully we'll see another championship, guys.
Show Host/Interviewer
We hope that's another title.
Jimmy Fallon
Come on. The one and only. There's no one better. Clyde Frazier. Clyde Frazier, everybody. Check out the Knicks pregame and post game coverage on MSG Network all playoffs long. We'll be right back with more tonight. Joe, stick around.
