Transcript

[Jimmy Fallon]

From Studio 6P in Rockefeller center in the heart of New York City, this is Tonight show starring Jimmy Fallon. Tonight joins Jim and his guests, Tom Brady, Linda Cardellini, Derek White, comedian Katie Boyle. And featuring the legendary Roots crew. 2267. And now, here he is. Give me balance now. Thank you very much. Welcome, welcome. Thank you. That's what God is. That is. Come on. That's what I'm talking about. Thank you very much. Enjoy yourself, everybody.

Enjoy yourself. Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Tonight Show.

You here. You made it.

Hey, I'm very excited about this. NFL legend Tom Brady is here tonight.

Oh, my goodness.

I love Tom Brady because other than the good looks, chiseled physique, and seven super bowl rings, we're pretty much the same guy. I mean, twinsies. Yeah, yeah. Tom has seven super bowl rings, but sadly had to trade one today for a full tank of gas. Oh, that's what's happening. Yeah. It's unbelievable. Guys, I want to wish everyone a happy St. Patrick's Day. This is happy St. Patty's Day. Today, President Trump kept with tradition and hosted Ireland's Prime Minister for a White House visit. And once again, Trump made Marco Rubio dress up as a leprechaun. And this was fun. Trump also had him wear a pair of leprechaun slippers that were two sizes too big. Well, guys, it's day 18 of the war in Iran, and today Trump said that most of our NATO allies have informed the White House that they don't want to get involved. Yeah, Trump asked France for help, but they don't want to get involved with U.S. and Iran. You know, it's bad when France turns down a three way. Oh, when people are talking about this. Trump keeps claiming that a former US President told him, I wish I did what you did in Iran. But all of them deny speaking with Trump. I feel like two things seem equally possible. Either Trump's lying or Joe Biden doesn't remember talking to him. Very, very possible. Well, get this. According to a new poll, half of Americans believe Trump attacked Iran to distract from the Epstein files. Trump was like fake news. I attacked Venezuela to distract from the Epstein files. Well, guys, everyone's focused on the situation in the Middle east where President Trump has been trying to unblock the Strait of Hormuz. For more on this, we go to our foreign correspondent, Kevin O'Reilly. Kevin, what is the latest?

[Kevin O'Reilly]

Well, Jamie, the situation remains fluid, and the world's oil supply hangs in the balance.

[Jimmy Fallon]

I'm sorry. Sorry, Kevin. I'm sorry. I'm Going to stop. Sorry to interrupt there, but there seems to be a malfunction. All we're seeing is your head.

[Kevin O'Reilly]

What? Oh, I see what's happening. I wore a green suit for St. Patrick's Day and it's not showing up on the green screen.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Well, I don't know what to do about this.

[Tom Brady]

Maybe I get.

[Kevin O'Reilly]

If I get lower, is it better?

[Jimmy Fallon]

Or move around. Is this better?

[Kevin O'Reilly]

Is this helping?

[Jimmy Fallon]

No, it's not. No. Now you look like a DVD screensaver. I don't know what you do. Stop doing whatever.

[Kevin O'Reilly]

Is this good?

[Jimmy Fallon]

No. Stop. It's helping. No, there's. Just stop whatever you're doing. No, it's not getting better. No, no, it's not helping. Not helping.

[Kevin O'Reilly]

I know what I'll do. I know what to do. I can take my jacket off.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Okay, great, Great. That might help. So tell us, have any oil tankers been able to get through the Strait of Hormuz?

[Kevin O'Reilly]

As of now, no. The Strait is at a complete standstill.

[Jimmy Fallon]

I'm sorry. Sorry. I'm sorry. Does your shirt say daddy's little Leprechaun?

[Kevin O'Reilly]

No, it says daddy's little Leprechaun.

[Jimmy Fallon]

All right, forget it. Let's just go to our sports correspondent, Eileen o'. Doyle.

[Linda Cardellini]

Oh, no, thanks, Jimmy.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Oh, my gosh.

[Tom Brady]

March madness is upon us.

[Jimmy Fallon]

All right, thank you. Forget it. Forget it. Let's just move on. Happy St. Patrick's Day, everybody. Everyone's wearing green. Hey, this is cool. Team USA's World cup uniforms have been revealed. Check these out. Ooh, yeah, pretty sweet. They also released the official Team USA beanie. Check it out. Yeah, and then they also have the team glasses, apparently. Here's the captain of Team USA wearing the whole uniform. I can't seem to find him.

Oh, there he is right there. I found you. See it in the World cup, dude. Yes.

Well, some business news. The CEO of Delta Air Lines said that airfares are going to go up to due to rising fuel costs. Meanwhile, Southwest was like, in that case, we're just going to use half of our engines.

We have a great show. NFL legend Tom Brady is here tonight. My man, the very talented Linda Cardellini is joining us. Boston Celtics superstar Derrick White is here. And we've got stand up from Ireland's own Katie Boyle. Stick around. We'll be right back with Tom Brady. Come on back.

[Roots Crew Member]

Trying to get a good resistance.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Our first guest is a seven time

super bowl champion who has more wins, yards and touchdowns than any quarterback in NFL history. Now he's playing in the fanatics Flag Football Classic, brought to you by Fanatics Studios, which airs live this Saturday at 4pm on on Fox Sports. Please welcome the one and only Tom Brady.

Tom Brady. My favorite.

[Tom Brady]

My man.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Thank you for being here, bro.

[Tom Brady]

First of all, I brought you something. We opened. I have hobby shops around the country. We opened our 13th card vault by Tom Brady. And I know you're a big Derek Jeter fan, so thought you're bringing a Derek Jeter signed. What card you like.

[Jimmy Fallon]

He's my favorite.

[Tom Brady]

Are you kidding me? I know. Well, he's my favorite, too, so that's why.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Oh, my God. The best outside.

[Tom Brady]

All the Eagles fans I know you have over there.

[Jimmy Fallon]

There are a lot of Eagles fans. Yeah. Yeah.

[Tom Brady]

I'm gonna stay away as far from you as possible.

[Jimmy Fallon]

I love that you're doing stuff like this, too. And how's it. How's this going? This car champ?

[Tom Brady]

Going great. Really enjoyable for me. Just kind of reconnecting with the hobby I started when I was a young kid. Like, all of us just getting connected with collecting cards, trading cards with your friends and so forth. And now we get to do it. And kind of the next generation of collectors are, you know, these young kids, get them out there and get going.

[Jimmy Fallon]

I love that you're just a fan, too, of. Of sports. I. I've been to a. A game with you a few. I don't know if you remember. We went to a Syracuse game.

[Tom Brady]

How could I forget that?

[Jimmy Fallon]

With Edelman. Yeah. Then we were there.

[Tom Brady]

By the way, look how excited you were.

[Jimmy Fallon]

I was really excited. You were fired up, but you. But it was fun sitting next to you because your brain moves differently than other people's brains. I think at one point you said to me, you go, like, I think the game's over. Yeah. They can't win. I go, tom, there's a whole nother period left. And you go, no. Mathematically, like, you did the math in your brain. It's almost like a Beautiful Mind. Like, you did it.

[Tom Brady]

It's not that beautiful. Trust me.

[Jimmy Fallon]

You go on there, it's actually pretty serious. We had Jack Hughes on the show, and they were like, dude, we all watched the women's hockey team win gold with Tom, and Tom is the biggest fan out there.

[Tom Brady]

Yeah, Well, I think them. Because they're still in the moment and they're still participating and active athletes, you know, you. To see all these guys do well, but you're kind of also like, what are they doing? You know, and strategizing.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah.

[Tom Brady]

Now I'm just like, I'm so beyond that now. I'm like, man, I just want to see some great plays happen. And even when I've gotten into my broadcasting with Fox, like just watching from the 50 yard line and watching these incredible athletes do incredible things just gets me excited because I want to see them do it, you know, I want to see these young guys on the field be better than what we were. You know, we took the game to a certain point, now they got to elevate it to the next point.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Are you like this at your, at your kids games?

[Tom Brady]

I'm probably pretty irritating to them because I probably, they want me to stand outside the arena when they're playing cuz they're like, dad, don't come in here.

[Jimmy Fallon]

It's, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Tom Brady]

But I love watching them play.

[Jimmy Fallon]

It's wear a disguise, wear a hat and beard like cre up.

Oh my God, come on.

[Tom Brady]

I know. I always kind of, especially when I go to like the, the opposing schools, I like the hat hoodie, as far down, as far away from every other parent because you just want the attention focused on the kids and that's where it should be.

[Jimmy Fallon]

I know you were down in Las Vegas last week and you hooked up with your pal LeBron James.

[Tom Brady]

Oh, man, that was good.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Now what? Yeah, LeBron played football in high school before basketball.

[Tom Brady]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Could you see playing with LeBron? You see him?

[Tom Brady]

Yeah, but I. Yeah, yeah. Hell yeah. I'd take him, him and Gronk on the same team. I don't know if Gronk, if He'd have lasted 23 years playing LeBron, but he actually could last 23 years. I think he's on 20, 21 now in the NBA. He's ridiculous. And I've always looked up to him, how he's handled himself kind of on the court and off the court. He's another guy that, like the Derek Jeter, you know, he just elevates himself above everybody else. He's such a class act and he's a great dad. You see his son out there playing like what I. What a dream come true for a dad.

[Jimmy Fallon]

But I see you come out and everyone goes nuts when they see you at any sports event. But then if you come out with LeBron, it's like, oh my gosh, like the goat. They hear the word goat a thousand times. It's amazing.

[Tom Brady]

Yeah, pretty cool sheer, you know, when you have these different relationships over a period of time and your life, you know, when I grew up just as a normal kid, I never could have imagined what my life would become. But then, you know, ultimately you have some success in what you're doing, and a lot of these opportunities get afforded to you. And there's a lot of times I pinch myself, you know, I'm just like, wow, I can't believe. What a crazy life.

[Jimmy Fallon]

A giant statue at Gillette Stadium. I mean, gotta feel great.

[Tom Brady]

Yeah. And then all the pigeons take dead aim at that whenever they fly over. So be careful when you get a statue, because, you know, you never know how it's gonna look from day to day.

[Jimmy Fallon]

That's interesting. I didn't even think about that. But, yeah, like you were saying, do you think this kid would ever think that he'd have a statue of himself?

[Tom Brady]

Oh, my God. Oh, that's not a cute picture.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Please. What are you talking?

[Tom Brady]

Like, didn't you, like, you saw the Netflix roast? You've done enough roasting yet.

[Jimmy Fallon]

I know.

[Tom Brady]

Get rid of that photo.

[Jimmy Fallon]

I feel like these. Oh, look at that.

[Tom Brady]

Now, that's a proper haircut. The problem is, when I went home, my mom used to cry when I would come home with haircuts.

[Jimmy Fallon]

She's like, why did they do that to your hair? Me too.

[Tom Brady]

I'm like, can you do the bowl cut where you cut it all the way down and. And shave it? Like, the bare skin and then the front? I mean, it's ridiculous.

[Jimmy Fallon]

One time I got a perm.

[Tom Brady]

Did you?

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah. This is a true story. I was in college, and, you know, when you're in college, you have no money and you take anything for free.

[Tom Brady]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Fallon]

You know, anything cutting for free. I go, great. And my friends were getting their haircut, and I was walking past, and this girl goes, hey, your hair's so straight. Do you ever think about getting a body wave? I don't know what that is, but yeah. She goes, I'm actually in school right now. I can give you one for free. I go, let's do a body wave, man. Are you kidding me? Let's go for this cut to. I had rollers in my hair, and I was under one of those heat. Those heat lamps.

[Tom Brady]

Oh, my God.

[Jimmy Fallon]

And I'm reading, like, Red Book or something, and my buddies walk by the window. I'm like, hey, what's up, man? Like, dude, what are you doing? It's just a body wave. It's not a perm. I'm just getting. My hair's pretty straight, so she's gonna add a little wave to it. She took out these rollers. I had the tightest perm I've ever seen. In my life.

[Tom Brady]

Oh, you had pictures of this?

[Jimmy Fallon]

Unfortunately, they're out there somewhere.

[Tom Brady]

Why is that not up here?

[Jimmy Fallon]

I remember going, I know I didn't bring it. I was like. But I remember going home, my mom started crying. Yeah. What are you doing this stuff to your hair for? It was free. Yeah. Loved it.

[Tom Brady]

Not the excuse you wanted.

[Jimmy Fallon]

No, it's not.

Actually. Let's talk about this fanatics flag football classic. By the way, I love that you're doing this now. This, this Saturday. It's live.

[Tom Brady]

[Tom Brady]

I know. I lost the last game I played against the Cowboys to Dak Prescott. And now I get to go out on the field on Saturday in LA. 4pm Eastern, it's on Fox. And, and I get to compete again. So been in the booth watching these young guys play. Now I get to go out there and try to kick their butt once again and remind them who the boss is.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah, what's up?

Yeah.

[Tom Brady]

And I always, I, I texted Joe Burrow and Jay Daniels. They're the opposing quarterbacks. I said, you know, I love beating Heisman trophy winners. I was 199th pick and I always took dead aim at the guys who were pick way ahead of me. So yeah, they said bring, you know, talk that you know what and bring it on.

[Jimmy Fallon]

How does it work? How's the game play?

[Tom Brady]

So there's, there's three teams, two pro teams, 24 players total. And then the USA flag team is playing as well. So three amazing teams and they've been practicing and playing. They're the world five time world champion. So l a 20, 28. There's flag football in the Olympics. Yeah. And I thought it was just a great opportunity for us to go out there and kind of get the buzz started early. It was supposed to be in Saudi Arabia. Obviously with the events that are happening in Middle east, we moved it to Los Angeles in a very short period of time. Yeah, but there's incredible enthusiasm behind the NFL is behind that. There's great players playing. Dude, you have great competition.

You're one of the best quarterbacks of all time. If not, I would say, the greatest. I was wondering if you could help me because I was playing catch with my daughter this weekend with the Nerf football, and she was like, dad, why do you throw it like that?

[Tom Brady]

Oh, no.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Well, yeah, she's got a great arm. I. I just don't. I don't never. I never understood. No one really ever taught me my.

[Tom Brady]

I can help.

[Jimmy Fallon]

You can?

[Tom Brady]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Could you give me some tips?

[Tom Brady]

You want to throw? Yeah. Come on. I'm always down to throw.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah. Let's go. What do I have to Do.

[Tom Brady]

All right, where am I standing?

[Jimmy Fallon]

You said, well, teach me the moves first. What do I have to do?

[Tom Brady]

Let me teach you what not to do first. And what most people do wrong when they throw a football. So they try to generate the power to put on the ball with their upper body. So if I'm throwing right here at the camera, they open their left shoulder and their head and guess where all their energy is going Toward that beautiful band over there. Quest level over there. So where you really want the energy going is straight ahead at the camera. So instead of opening your left shoulder, when you start, just close your left shoulder and then rotate your body and throw. But you gotta be nice and relaxed.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Nice and relaxed. I am relaxed. Okay. In sports, it's all relaxed. Wow.

[Tom Brady]

We could do that.

[Jimmy Fallon]

All right, good.

[Tom Brady]

So you want to try?

[Jimmy Fallon]

Okay, you're the boss. Here you go there.

[Tom Brady]

Okay.

[Jimmy Fallon]

I'll go here. I'll go here. But what if. This is the terrible.

[Tom Brady]

Okay, so bend your knees.

[Linda Cardellini]

Okay.

[Tom Brady]

This is what I always say. Like a shortstop. Like Derek Jeter.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yes.

[Tom Brady]

So when you face me, it's just like really athletic stance. So just slightly bent legged, like you're fielding the ground ball. Not quite like that, but you know, you're close.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah.

[Tom Brady]

And then when you stride, just rotate your shoulder not to the left, but to this side. And then just relax your arm. And then rotate your body nice and easy.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Nice. Cool.

Yeah.

[Tom Brady]

Like I always say, fast, but relax. Oh, yeah. Drum roll, please.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Look at those beats.

Yeah, that wasn't.

[Roots Crew Member]

You want to try one more?

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah, I'll try one more.

[Tom Brady]

The only thing you want to do. Okay, so this wrist.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yes.

[Tom Brady]

Okay, you see this reverse C? So you see the C with your hand?

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yes.

[Tom Brady]

Right now you have a U.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Correct.

[Tom Brady]

So just make it a C. When you throw a reverse C and you're going to release it. So if I was throwing your direction. If you saw me from mine, when I release the ball, the ball's like that. Not like this.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yes.

[Tom Brady]

And then you're cutting across the ball. Thanks, coach.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Don't do that. Thanks, coach.

[Tom Brady]

You want to be like Bill Belichick.

[Jimmy Fallon]

God damn it. Yeah, that's what I want. That's what I'm talking about.

[Tom Brady]

There you go.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Come on.

[Tom Brady]

A little energy.

[Jimmy Fallon]

There we go. Go redeem my.

[Tom Brady]

That was good.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Thank you, coach.

[Tom Brady]

That was good.

[Jimmy Fallon]

My co host, Tom Brady, everybody. The Fanatics Flag Football Classic airs live this Saturday at 4pm on Fox Sports. We're breaking records with Tom after the break. Stick around, everybody. Oh, see, Look.

[Roots Crew Member]

Kind of like a bike.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Like. Our next guest is an emmy nominated

actress who stars in the new show dtf st. Louis. New episodes air every Sunday at 9pm on hbo and hbo. Max. Please welcome linda cardellini.

It's always nice to see you.

[Linda Cardellini]

So nice to see you.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Welcome back to the show. And I just learned this backstage about you. But you are Irish.

[Linda Cardellini]

I am mostly Irish on my mom's side. Yeah. And then my grandmother on my dad's side, she was a touch of Irish.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Well, happy St. Patrick's Day to you. Come on. You're Irish, right? Yes. Found very Irish. You started acting in college, right?

[Linda Cardellini]

Yeah. I mean, I tried before that, but.

[Jimmy Fallon]

You did.

[Linda Cardellini]

Yeah, but nobody cared.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah, they didn't care. Do you remember any of your first auditions?

[Linda Cardellini]

You know, I had read this thing that all these big stars used to crash auditions, and so I read that Michael J. Fox had crashed auditions.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Was it me? Like, you just show up.

[Linda Cardellini]

Like, you just. Yeah, you just, like, show up and they don't have an appointment and don't have an agent and you can just get in there. I don't think it's true. I don't even know if it's true.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Wow.

[Linda Cardellini]

But I read that all these people did that. Yeah. And I'm not even that kind of person. I'm always like, me too. This restaurant's closed. Right. I can't eat here. Right. And then I get.

[Jimmy Fallon]

That's me too. I play by the rules all the time.

Yeah.

[Linda Cardellini]

Yeah. And so this girl was going to an audition and I went with her, and it was for a commercial, and you had to, like, you know, hold a thing. Can I touch your water?

[Tom Brady]

Yeah, of course. Please.

[Linda Cardellini]

And you had to hold a cup and talk about it. And I just kept doing this the whole time. And so I was covering whatever the product was, and they were like, you're terrible at this.

[Jimmy Fallon]

No, you're like, just hold the can of Pepsi.

[Linda Cardellini]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Fallon]

No, Pepsi is the great. Yeah. You couldn't do that.

[Linda Cardellini]

No, I could not. I was bad at it.

[Jimmy Fallon]

I did an audition once for a soft drink or something like that. And I was so nervous. And they went up and before I had my lines, they sprayed me with a water bottle. And they were just like, all right, we're gonna do it. You have to be out of breath. They go, yeah, I know. I'm like a courier or something. I had to ride a bike or something. They go. And they just. They sprayed me in the face with water. And I go, this is so degrading.

[Linda Cardellini]

Did you get the part.

[Jimmy Fallon]

I did not get the part. No. It was just embarrassing. I go, oh, my gosh. But did you ever take any chances at audition and get the part?

[Linda Cardellini]

I mean, typically, yes. And then all the times, you know, also it goes badly. But I remember when I was auditioning for Scooby Doo, I was going, you know, I mean, thank you, thank you. I was. I was really excited because that was my favorite cartoon growing up. So I was going in for Velma and I was like, I'm not gonna go in there without my glasses and my turtleneck, you know. So I went to Ross and bought this orange turtleneck and borrowed a friend of mine's glasses.

[Jimmy Fallon]

You went to Ross?

[Linda Cardellini]

I did, I did. And Clyde and, you know, I needed a bargain.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Of course, Ross is great.

[Linda Cardellini]

And they had things that were out of season. It wasn't really orange turtle next season, so. And then I went and I got this orange turtleneck and this skirt and I dressed in a costume, which I was kind of new when I got that part.

[Jimmy Fallon]

It was after Freaks and Geeks.

[Linda Cardellini]

It was after Freaks and Geeks, but Freaks and Geeks wasn't like a big success or anything. So I was pretty new. And I just figured you were supposed to dress the part. So I got there and there were a lot of people who. So I was kind of still a nobody. Freaks and Geeks got canceled and, you know, and now people have seen it. Cause it's on dvd. But at the time, not a lot of people were watching it.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah.

[Linda Cardellini]

And so I went in there and I saw all these famous people sitting in the waiting room where they dressed as them. No, they were in normal people clothes.

[Katie Boyle]

They looked great.

[Linda Cardellini]

And I looked like you.

[Jimmy Fallon]

We're actors.

[Katie Boyle]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Fallon]

You dressed like the perfect.

[Linda Cardellini]

I went in there. Yeah. And I went in there dressed up in this costume and just felt so stupid. And then I did my audition and I did all these like crazy things that, you know, like took off my glasses and did, you know, all these, like. And I just felt like I had made the biggest fool of myself. And I came home and cried and cried and cried. And then I got the parts.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah. See, there you go.

And you nailed it.

[Linda Cardellini]

Yeah. My dad always says he knew I would get a part of it. Came home crying. So I guess you have to make a fool.

[Jimmy Fallon]

You gotta make a fool.

[Tom Brady]

You gotta try.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah, I know that. Also, you're a fan of game shows. TV game shows you've actually been a contestant on.

[Linda Cardellini]

I have on several.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Which ones?

[Linda Cardellini]

Well, when I first moved to la, I was on the Price is Right. I know. With Bob Barker. Bob Barker, Yeah. In the olden days. And I won a prior place.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Come on down. You got that?

[Linda Cardellini]

Come on down.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Rod. Roddy.

[Linda Cardellini]

They, of course, pronounced my name wrong, though. But which is fine. That's fine. I'm used to it. But Cardellani. And I was like, it's Cardellini. And then I ran down, and I was terrible at the game, but I won a fireplace. I bid $1,000. Won a fireplace.

[Tom Brady]

You won a fireplace.

[Linda Cardellini]

So then in turn, lost in a fire. But that's my other story.

[Jimmy Fallon]

That's so ironic, unfortunately.

[Linda Cardellini]

And then I was on Freaks and Geeks. Did a thing against this show called Popular. We were on Family Feud.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Oh, my gosh.

[Linda Cardellini]

Yeah. We played for charity, which was amazing.

[Jimmy Fallon]

I would always love to play Family Feud.

[Linda Cardellini]

Yeah. Right. And then I always wanted to be on Wheel of Fortune. I used to watch it with my grandmother, and it's, like, one of my favorites.

[Jimmy Fallon]

So you never did.

[Linda Cardellini]

Well, I auditioned when I first. After the Price is Right, I auditioned to be. They had these auditions, and you could go. And it was, like, at an airport hotel. And there were lines just around the corner. Cause back in those days, it was, like, the most popular show on television. It was a huge primetime show. So we waited in line, a friend of mine and I, all day, and we played. They do this thing where they do, like, a whole audition, basically. So you go through one full day of auditioning to play. Not like an actor's audition, but you just play the over and over and over again. And I got to the very end, and I got chosen. Cause I was. You know, I played with my grandma. We were good at it.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah.

Like, don't play. I'll play Wheel of Fortune, man. I'm good.

[Linda Cardellini]

Yeah. And then by the time. Because it was such a popular show, by the time I got called to be on the show, I had my first ever job on television as a series regular on a kid's morning show on abc. So I couldn't be on.

[Jimmy Fallon]

I mean, in a weird way, good for you. Because, come on, you made it.

[Linda Cardellini]

Of course.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Would you ever go back? Would you ever try to go on Wheel of Fortune now?

[Linda Cardellini]

Well, here's what I know about a game show is it's terrible pressure. It's really harder.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yes.

Whoa.

Playing at home when you're watching on TV is so much easier.

[Linda Cardellini]

I'm so much better at home than I am in person. So I'd be afraid now to play. I think that was A lot of pressure. But I remember being on the Price is Right as, like, you know, an 18 year old. And people just being like, that's not right, you idiot.

[Jimmy Fallon]

And I was like, oh, my God.

[Linda Cardellini]

They're like, it's 99 cents. And I was, you know, I was terrified.

[Jimmy Fallon]

So I think you can.

[Linda Cardellini]

I don't know if I can handle the pressure anymore.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Maybe it's like a celeb wheel of fortune.

[Linda Cardellini]

I mean, are they gonna take it easy on me? Definitely not Jeopardy. I can't do that. That's way too much fun.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Oh, I can't do Jeopardy. No, no, no, no, no. I can. But I do love all types of game shows.

[Linda Cardellini]

Have you been on one?

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yes. Well, I mean, I've hosted a bunch. Password, drag. No big deal. But it is a different thing. It's a total different pressure. But we do games here on the show all the time.

[Linda Cardellini]

I know. I always wanna play a game next time I have to play a game.

[Jimmy Fallon]

You had to play a game.

[Linda Cardellini]

I mean, I don't think I can break a record with a football, I gotta be honest.

[Jimmy Fallon]

But he's unbelievable, by the way. How about he threw it. Even the one I threw behind my back, and he still hit that one. The guy's. He's unbelievable.

[Linda Cardellini]

That's amazing.

[Jimmy Fallon]

He's got an arm. Oh, my God, he's the best. Let's talk about your show, DTF St. Louis.

[Linda Cardellini]

Yes.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Congratulations on this. Thank you, by the way. Thank you. People love it. I love it. Your character, Carol, has a lot of hobbies. I know. She loves Jamba Juice. She has a lot of good catchphrases. She's a Little League umpire.

[Linda Cardellini]

She sure is.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah.

[Linda Cardellini]

I don't know if she really wants to be, but she is.

[Jimmy Fallon]

But she is. She needs to do it for the fam. And by the way, here's you in character.

[Linda Cardellini]

Oh, thank you for that.

[Jimmy Fallon]

No problem. I didn't know they wear that much padding.

[Linda Cardellini]

I thought it went on the outside.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Me, too.

[Linda Cardellini]

But Steve Conrad, who's our wonderful writer director, was very intent on it being on the inside, which I do think makes it stand out.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Is there any move that you learned as being an umpire?

[Linda Cardellini]

Oh, I love the move. I mean, I'm a little rusty because, you know, I haven't umped in a while.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah. But gives a taste.

[Derrick White]

It wouldn't be.

[Linda Cardellini]

I mean. I mean, that one in the picture is like, strike.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah. That's what I'm talking about. You know what I mean?

[Linda Cardellini]

And it's, like, mysterious.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yes. Yeah.

[Linda Cardellini]

Or like, you know, there's a bat. There's, like, names for them all.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Oh, really?

[Linda Cardellini]

I know. I did like a class with a guy who was an umpire and it was really fun.

[Jimmy Fallon]

That's also, I think, a lot of pressure. By the way, an umpire.

[Linda Cardellini]

You're right.

[Jimmy Fallon]

I was a Little League ump once.

[Linda Cardellini]

What?

[Jimmy Fallon]

Someone was sick and they asked me if I could jump in and do it. And I go, sure. And I put the thing on the outside, but I was there with the mask and you gotta make the call. I mean, strike ball. A lot of people are angry at you.

[Linda Cardellini]

You're gonna break some hearts.

[Jimmy Fallon]

I did not like that. I'm a very. Yes, everyone wins type of guy.

[Linda Cardellini]

I know, I know.

[Jimmy Fallon]

What do you think of this?

[Linda Cardellini]

I know. I am too. So, Carol, not a. Not at all. This character. Not at all.

[Jimmy Fallon]

But I like the little clicky thing. They gave you a couple.

[Linda Cardellini]

Oh, they gave me that too. I had that and a notebook.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yes.

[Linda Cardellini]

I don't know what I was writing down in a picture.

[Jimmy Fallon]

No, me either. But I like the clicky thing. Oh, my gosh. It says right here, two strikes, I click it. I'm so excited. Can we set up what DTF St. Louis is about and who you play?

[Linda Cardellini]

Okay. I play a woman named Carol and she is married to a man named Floyd, played by David Harbour.

[Jimmy Fallon]

He's amazing.

[Linda Cardellini]

And she. I know. He is amazing. And she also is. There's a love triangle with Jason Bateman there and the three of them and somebody ends up dead. And it's sort of looking into. And that's not a spoiler. It happens very early and it's sort of looking into how this whole thing, how this happened. And, you know, the title is provocative, but sometimes the scenes are just more awkward and funny and odd. And it has its own style. It's really fun.

[Jimmy Fallon]

DTF St. Louis was what David Harbour finds out is an app. A dating app.

[Linda Cardellini]

Yes. It's a dating app for married people who wanna not act married for a minute.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yes.

Linda Cardellini, everybody. New episodes of DTF St. Louis airs

Sundays at 9pm on HBO and HBO Max.

We're talking to Derrick White after the break. Stick around everybody

[Jimmy Fallon]

Our next guest is an NBA champion and Olympic gold medal winning point guard from the Boston Celtics. Please welcome Derek White.

Derek White. Right there. Come on.

You look great. Welcome to the show. You've been in the NBA for 10 years. Is that right?

[Derrick White]

This is year nine.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Nine. Nine years. And last night you were honored as Defensive Player of the Month. Yeah. How's Defensive Player of the Month? Your dad must be proud, because I read some articles where you used to have a Nerf hoop, and he would throw balls into the hoop and you'd swat it out of the way.

[Derrick White]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Dad is definitely a proud father. Yeah. We grew up in. And he used to put a little Nerf poop on the closet door. And I had to make the rule that no Duncan was allowed because that was too easy for him. And of course, he was the dad.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Here you are.

[Derrick White]

He's a little guy.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah. Come on, bud.

[Derrick White]

So, layups only. And I was able to get some blocks from there. And I think it kind of translated to me blocking some shots.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Player of the month. Not too shabby. And a gold medal, too. Come on. Not too bad.

Come on.

I mean. Yeah, but you're a dad now. Is there a lot of Nerf hoops in your house right now?

[Derrick White]

Yeah. You can't walk about 10ft in my house without finding a basketball hoop somewhere.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Is that right?

[Derrick White]

We got a lot of basketball around. I'm not forcing them into it, but yeah, kind of.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Here's you with Baby Hendrix in the hospital. Yeah. Oh, my gosh. How many years ago was this?

[Derrick White]

That was about three, almost four years ago now.

[Jimmy Fallon]

That's unbelievable.

[Derrick White]

That's right. The day he was born.

[Jimmy Fallon]

It's all happened. Missed the game, and you gotta watch the game with it.

[Derrick White]

And the Celtics won.

[Jimmy Fallon]

So there you go, man. You won. You had a big party when you were drafted, but your mother said she called it a graduation party. She wanted to take some of the pressure off. Why'd you call it a graduation? Was it your graduation party? You do both. Was it a dual party?

[Derrick White]

Yeah. My mom's always worried about too much pressure and stuff, but I didn't actually have a graduation party because I was at the NBA combine. So it kind of served as both as graduating from college and finally. Not finally, but getting drafted in the NBA. So it was great to have all my friends and family there, and we had a great time.

[Jimmy Fallon]

You were just waiting for your name?

[Derrick White]

Yeah. Everybody's just kind of, like, looking around like, is it going to be the time? Is it going to be the time? I'm like, you guys probably had to wait. It's pick number one. Like I'm not.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah, you had to wait a little bit.

[Derrick White]

It takes some time, but it was a great time.

[Jimmy Fallon]

What was the first big moment when you realized, wow, I'm finally. I'm in the NBA. This is actually happening. It's real.

[Derrick White]

Yeah. I mean, the first time I actually had some real minutes. I check in against okc, and I go to the free throw line, and I got Carmel Anthony and Paul George, and I'm from Colorado, and so Carmel Anthony was basically my whole childhood. And so I'm kind of like, this is amazing that I'm here next to you. I can't believe it. And so that was kind of like my. My eyes were wide open the whole time. I probably turned it over the next play.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah, yeah, you go. I'm too nervous. Take me out, Take me out, Take me out.

[Derrick White]

Yeah, this is too much. Pop, Help me out.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah, right? Yeah. Then you also had something happen to you, which I thought was great. And, you know, I have to bring this up. There's something happened with your tooth during one of the games. Your tooth fell out or chipped or something happened to your tooth, and instead of you just playing along, you glued your tooth with just, like, Elmer's glue or something. And you could see it right there. What happened? And how did you end up with a glued tooth?

[Derrick White]

So I've been putting off going to the dentist for a while, and I had some teeth issue in the past. And so go to the game. I get hit in the mouth, and I had a bridge on at the time, and it came out, and so I just picked it up and went straight to the back. And. And I'm not a hockey player, so I had to, like, figure out a way to glue it back together or figure it out. So they just kind of glued it, and then I put a mouthpiece on and then played the rest of the game and eventually went to the dentist the next day.

[Jimmy Fallon]

What'd your dentist say? What's wrong with you?

[Derrick White]

He said, I told you to come in a week ago.

[Jimmy Fallon]

You're a legend in Boston. Everyone loves you. Everyone loves you around the country, but in Boston, come on. It's priceless. You get to go everywhere. I saw you did a thing with Sam Adams, which, by the way, is fantastic. What you do with Sam Adams is great. I know. You got to ride the duck boat, which, as anyone from Boston knows this. The duck tour.

[Derrick White]

I bought a duck boat.

[Jimmy Fallon]

You bought a duck boat? Yeah, of course. Yeah. That was fun. You got to do the cop slide. You guys know the cop Slide.

[Derrick White]

I sat in the bottom of the cops slide.

[Jimmy Fallon]

If you don't know, do you know the cop slide? If you don't know it, it's the slide. It's a great video. It went viral. Here's the cops line.

Wow.

I went a little too fast. Oh, my gosh. Everyone's okay, but you didn't go down it. You just sat on it.

[Derrick White]

Yeah. Yeah. So I was sitting there. I was like, maybe I should go down and like. And then they wouldn't like it.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah, they could. Yeah.

[Derrick White]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Fallon]

You're American.

[Derrick White]

You gotta go in tomorrow.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah, you're American. Yeah. You cannot. So I just.

[Derrick White]

I just took a picture at the bottom.

[Jimmy Fallon]

But that's the smart thing to do. You now have your own beer, by the way. You have Derek White Ale.

[Derrick White]

Yo.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Come on. This is what I'm talking about. Is life crazy?

[Derrick White]

It's insane.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah.

[Derrick White]

Never thought I'd have a beer.

[Jimmy Fallon]

No.

[Derrick White]

Never thought I would drink a beer, Honestly.

[Jimmy Fallon]

No, no. Yeah, exactly. I have one now. You actually have one with your face on it. That's amazing. And everyone can get this. I just figured since it's St. Patty's Day, maybe we should have a. We should have a drink and just celebrate.

[Derrick White]

We got the green.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Have a nice little pour. Ooh, it looks pretty good right there. Ooh, that's a nice pour. Happy St. Patrick's Day to you. Cheers, my friend.

[Derrick White]

Happy St. Patrick's Day.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Derrick White, everybody. Check out the Celtics this weekend on Sunday night basketball at 7pm on NBC. And Peacock. More Tonight show after the break.

Stick around.

Our next guest has her comedy special

therapy available now on YouTube. Making Her Tonight show debut. Please welcome the very funny Katie Boyle.

[Katie Boyle]

Happy St. Patrick's Day. I am from Ireland, and I'm here to tell you it is way easier to date in this country as an Irish man than it is an Irish woman, because we are from a roasting culture, which is flirting. And American women are like, yeah, roast. But when we do it to American men, they cry. I'm also used to fighting an Irish man for the bill, but him still paying for the bill. And I was on a date here with an American. I was like, oh, would you like me to pay? And he goes, okay. I was like, who raised you? I did go on to date him for a few years, and when he showed me engagement rings, they were only $300. I didn't mind that. I just minded that he owed me $500. I was like, is this proposal coming with $200? And then he said, I'm not gonna propose until you let me call you baby. I was like, excuse you. I paid for the rent this month. You can call me madame. A lot of women want to date Irish men now because they think they're so romantic. Because housing is doing awful propaganda for them. I promise you. Hosiers missus is listening to those songs. Be like, who you crawling out of the grave for? You never said that to me. I have a fiance from Ireland now. We used to date when we were younger, and when we got back together later in life, he said, I always felt you were a missed opportunity. I was like, let's tell people you felt I was the one that got away. Cause you're making me sound like Bitcoin. I hate the stereotypes that are put on Irish people. But then I go home to my grandfather, and I'm like, ooh, this is what they're talking about. He's a Catholic. He's a farmer. He grows his own potatoes. Cause he's like, we'll never let it happen again. He's worn a peaky blinder tat every day of his life. I don't know if he's hair on the top of his head. His name is Seamus. He's like, propaganda the Brits would have used against us. He doesn't understand my Gen Z sister. And when she was telling me she was being gaslit at school, he got such a fright. He thought someone had tried to set her afire. Then when she explained what gaslighting is, he looked like he would have preferred if someone had tried to set her afire. He hates that we don't speak Irish as a first language. So I've been relearning it, and it made me realize we're very dramatic as a people. If you want to say I'm hungry in Irish, it's tukras urum. But then it translates back into English as the hunger is on me. That is the most famine head way to say that. My grandfather is from Lomford, and Lomford is the same colors as the Ukrainian flag. When all the Ukrainian flags popped up in New York. I'm such an idiot. I was walking around like I had no idea there were so many people from Longford here this whole time. And then I didn't realize that a lot of people sometimes think I'm Eastern European because I don't have ginger hair, I don't have freckles. I had this man walk up to me in the street, start speaking Polish to me. And when I said I didn't understand. He goes, oh, typical Polish American doesn't understand her own language. I was like, no, I'm just a typical Irish person who doesn't understand my own language. And then he goes, why do you have an Eastern European face? I go, I don't know, but I'm going to go home and ask some questions. I had taken my grandfather's Lamford jersey to wear over here, and I didn't realize I was walking around New York looking like I was wearing a Ukrainian jersey with a Ukrainian face. Americans would stop me in the street and be like, oh, my God, we're so sorry for what's happening to your people. And I'd be like, the Brits, they left ages ago. They'd be like, we knew the Brits were involved. They're always involved. I do love that New Yorkers do talk to you in the street. They have a reputation of being rude. They're not. They're just direct, you know, they'll be like, love your sneakers, hate your face. And my grandfather called me to see if people have been complimenting the jerseys. And I told him that day that a New Yorker girl told me it was ugly. And he goes, katie, she is gaslighting you. I can't wait till he learns more terms off my sister and tries to use them. He goes into the local store and he sees they've raised the price of milk, and he's like, you're all narcissists. My grandfather came to New York for the first time 25 years ago, so he saw a lot of things he'd never seen before. And one of those things was, for the first time, he saw two men kiss me. But what he said was, oh, I didn't know we could do that. So in this reality, my grandfather's been married to the same woman for 70 years in Lomford, but in a different reality, he's a gay man in New York. Thank you so much. I mean, Katie Boyle.
