>> Jimmy: YOU ARE TEACHING 
ACTING NOW FOR MASTERCLASS.
RIGHT?
>> SORT OF KIND OF MAYBE.
>> Jimmy: WELL, YOU DID A SERIES
OF VIDEOS SO PEOPLE CAN LEARN TO
ACT AT HOME WATCHING THEIR 
COMPUTERS.
>> WELL, ESSENTIALLY FOR PEOPLE 
WHO WANT TO BE ACTORS.
THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE WHO WATCH
IT.
BECAUSE THEY'RE WRITERS AND THEY
WANT TO UNDERSTAND ACTING IN 
ANOTHER KIND OF WAY.
BUT IT'S A PRETTY BIG DEAL.
THERE ARE A FEW OF THEM -- HELEN
MIRREN'S GOT ONE.
DUSTIN.
>> Jimmy: STEVE MARTIN HAS ONE.
>> STEVE MARTIN'S GOT ONE.
THERE'S A DIRECTING ONE WITH 
SCORSESE.
SHONDA RHIMES HAS A WRITING ONE.
SERENA TEACHES TENNIS.
STEPHEN CURRY TEACHES 
BASKETBALL.
>> Jimmy: WAIT A MINUTE.
TENNIS.
HOW THE HELL DO YOU LEARN TENNIS
FROM A COMPUTER?
>> RIGHT.
ON THE COMPUTER.
YOU'RE SITTING THIS.
>> Jimmy: HAVE YOU TAKEN -- HAVE
YOU GONE TO A LOST ACTING HENCES
OR ARE YOU JUST LIKE A NATURAL?
>> NO, I HAVE A DEGREE IN 
THEATER FROM MOREHOUSE COLLEGE.
I HAD TEACHERS WHEN I WAS IN 
COLLEGE.
>> Jimmy: AREN'T ACTING TEACHERS
CRAZY?
>> ECCENTRIC.
I WOULD GO WITH ECCENTRIC.
I HAD TEACHERS WHO TOLD ME 
THINGS LIKE IF YOU WANT TO BE 
GREAT YOU HAVE TO LEARN TO BE 
DRUNK AND HIGH AND STILL DOT 
PLAY BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THE 
GREAT ONES DO.
BUT WE TRIED IT.
WE DID IT.
[ APPLAUSE ]
DRINK A LITTLE WINE, SMOKE A 
LITTLE WEED, GO ON STAGE.
AND WHEN YOU GET THROUGH, THAT 
YOU'RE KIND OF LIKE CONFIDENT 
AND YOU GO, THAT WAS ALL RIGHT.
LET'S DROP IN SASSOME ACID.
[ LAUGHTER ]
SOW ACTUALLY THINK THAT YOU KNOW
WHAT'S GOING ON, SO YOU LIKE THE
ACID AT THE HALF HOUR.
BECAUSE YOU KNOW IT'S GOING TO 
BE TWO HOURS BEFORE IT REALLY 
COMES DOWN ON YOU.
YOU GO ON STAGE AND DO THE PLAY 
AND WHEN THE PLAY IS OVER YOU'RE
READY TO PARTY.
OCCASIONALLY YOU DO THAT AND YOU
DRINK SOME COFFEE AND SMOKE SOME
WEED AND YOU GET READY TO GO ON 
STAGE.
ONE NIGHT THESE GIRLS, WE HAD 
THESE DANCERS, AND THEY USED TO 
COME ON STAGE FIRST AND THEY 
WOULD DO THIS LEAP ACROSS THE 
STAGE AND I'M IN THE WINGS READY
TO GO ON AND JUST AS I WAS READY
TO GO ON AND THEY DID THEIR LEAP
IT WAS LIKE -- OH.
THERE'S GOING TO BE A PROBLEM 
TONIGHT.
I'VE BEEN STANDING IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE STAGE AND WATCHING MY 
FEET SINK THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF 
THE STAGE.
YOU'RE STARING AT YOUR FEET AND 
YOU DO YOUR LINE AND YOU'RE LIKE
OH, I'VE GOT TO SPEAK.
YOU SPEAK AND YOU TAKE YOUR FEET
UP OFF THE FLOOR.
EVERYBODY'S LIKE WHY IS HE 
WALKING LIKE THAT?
>> Jimmy: IS THIS IN THE MASTER 
CLASS?
>> NO.
