GOOD TO SEE YOU.
I LIKE YOUR HAIR.
IT'S BIG.
>> THANK YOU.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
>> Jimmy: BOY, I WISH I HAD AN 
AFRO.
I REALLY DO.
I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A RFRO.
>> YOU DO?
>> Jimmy: I DO, BUT I DON'T HAVE
ONE.
>> AFROS ARE REALLY DIFFICULT TO
MAINTAIN.
>> Jimmy: TO KEEP IT IN THE 
SHAPE?
>> EVERYTHING IS HARD WITH THE 
FRO, IT'S HARD TO MOISTURIZE IT,
WHICH IS WHY I ALWAYS USED TO 
WEAR WIGS.
>> Jimmy: OH, REALLY?
>> YOU KNOW, UNTIL I DID 
SOMETHING THAT REALLY STOPPED IT
FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME.
I WENT TO GET AN MRI, AND I PUT 
A WIG ON MY HEAD.
>> Jimmy: OKAY.
>> YOU DON'T KNOW THAT IN ORDER 
TO KEEP A WIG ON YOUR HEAD, YOU 
GOT TO PUT PINS IN IT.
>> Jimmy: OH, OH.
>> YOU KNOW WHEN YOU GO TO GET 
THE MRI, IT'S MAGNETIC.
>> Jimmy: OH.
THE PINS WENT WHERE?
>> NO, LET ME TELL YOU 
SOMETHING, JIMMY.
THE FACT THAT I'M SITTING HERE 
AND MY DIGNITY IS STILL IN TACT,
AS SOON AS I WALKED IN THE ROOM,
THE WIG STARTED FLOATING OFF MY 
HID, AND THOSE PINS CAME OUT 
LIKE BULLETS.
THEY WERE LIKE, DOO, DOO DOO, 
DOO.
AND THE TECH WOMAN STARTED 
SCREAMING, OH, MY GOD, OH, MY 
GOD, YOUR NAME IS VIOLA DAVIS, 
RIGHT?
HALF OF THEM WERE STUCK ON THE 
MRI MACHINE.
HALF OF THE PINS WERE ON THE 
FLOOR, AND THE WIG WAS STUCK TO 
MY HEAD.
>> Jimmy: I HOPE EVERYTHING WAS 
OKAY.
IT SOUNDS LIKE THE MRI WAS MORE 
DANGEROUS.
>> AN MRI IS SOMETHING YOU HAVE 
TO DO EVERY YEAR.
>> Jimmy: CAN I TELL YOU, I KNOW
ALMOST NOTHING ABOUT THE FEMALE 
BODY.
ASK MY WIFE.
>> YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE.
WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT ANYTHING, 
ESPECIALLY DEALING WITH 
MENOPAUSE OR BREASTS, MEN JUST 
DIE A SLOW DEATH.
>> Jimmy: I KNOW THIS IS GOING 
TO SOUND LIKE A VERY STUPID 
QUESTION, AND IT IS A STUPID 
QUESTION FOR A MAN MY AGE.
>> GO AHEAD AND HIT ME WITH IT.
>> Jimmy: WHAT IS MENOPAUSE?
I'VE HEARD OF IT.
[ APPLAUSE ]
I KNOW THAT IT HAPPENS.
>> YOU KNOW WHAT?
MENOPAUSE IS HELL.
JIMMY.
>> Jimmy: IS IT REALLY?
>> MENOPAUSE IS A DARK HOLE, 
OKAY?
THAT'S WHAT MENOPAUSE IS, SO 
THAT'S WHERE I AM RIGHT NOW.
I EITHER WILL LOVE MY HUSBAND 
TODAY OR KILL HIM TODAY.
>> Jimmy: HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?
>> YOU KNOW WHAT?
SOMEBODY NEEDS TO TELL ME.
IT'S BEEN GOING ON SIX OR SEVEN 
YEARS.
BUT THE OTHER DAY, MY HUSBAND 
SAID V, CAN YOU TAKE THIS BOWL 
AND PUT THIS IN THE SINK?
I SAID OH, SWEETHEART, YEAH, LET
ME SEE THE BOWL, LET ME PUT IT 
IN THE SINK.
AND FIVE MINUTES LATER HE LOOKED
AT ME.
HE SAID, V, ARE YOU OKAY?
I SAID, YEAH, I'M FINE.
ARE YOU SURE YOU'RE OKAY?
BECAUSE I FOUND THAT BOWL IN THE
REFRIGERATOR.
PLEASE TELL ME YOU NOT GOING 
CRAZY.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> Jimmy: BUT YOU MIGHT BE GOING
CRAZY.
>> NO, I'M NOT GOING CRAZY.
I'M NOT GOING TO GO DOWN LIKE 
THAT.
BUT EVERYTHING, THE WEIGHT GAIN,
IT'S LIKE THAT CARTOON WHERE AN 
A LITTLE GIRL GETS ON THE SCALE 
AND A FRIEND RUNS UP BEHIND HER 
AND SAYS GET OFF THAT THING, 
EVERYBODY WHO GETS ON THAT 
CRIES!
SO THAT'S ME.
I'M GETTING ON THAT THING CRYING
EVERY DAY.
>> Jimmy: WHOA, I'M SORRY TO 
CATCH YOU AT THIS MOMENT.
SHALL WE MAYBE RESCHEDULE THIS 
INTERVIEW?
>> NO, I DON'T WANT TO 
RESCHEDULE.
>> Jimmy: ARE YOU A NEAT PERSON?
LIKELY THIS PERSON, MARIE KONDO.
DO YOU KNOW ABOUT HER?
>> YES, I DO.
AND SHE IS CHANGING LIVES.
>> Jimmy: SHE IS CHANGING LIVES.
>> I'M NOT GOOD WITH THAT.
>> Jimmy: YOU'RE MORE LIKE ME?
>> I'M VERY MUCH LIKE YOU.
AND MY HUSBAND IS OCD.
EVERYTHING IS NEAT, NEAT, NEAT.
ME, MY BIG THING WHEN I MET HIM,
TWO THINGS THAT I CARRY AROUND, 
AND YOU KNOW I TRAVEL WITH MY 
STUFF.
LY A BIG, WHITE, LEATHER BAG 
FILLED WITH ALL MY OLD LOVE 
LETTERS FROM MEN WHO HAD DUMPED 
MY.
>> Jimmy: REALLY?
>> I KEPT THEM.
I SAID I NEED TO REMEMBER THIS.
IT'S FOR MY WORK.
>> Jimmy: YES.
>> AND THEN I HAD A BOX FILLED 
WITH ALL THE RECEIPTS OF ALL THE
MONEY I LET PEOPLE BORROW IN THE
PAST.
>> Jimmy: REALLY?
>> WESTERN UNION RECEIPT, WHEN I
LET MY SISTER BORROW $25.
EVERY TIME SHE'D BORROW MONEY 
FROM ME I'D RIP IT OUT AND GO, 
REMEMBER THAT DAMN $25?
I USED TO CARRY IT, LIKE 
LITERALLY FROM NEW YORK TO L.A. 
TO DIFFERENT PLACES UNTIL I 
ACTUALLY READ THE LOVE LETTERS.
>> Jimmy: AND THE RECEIPTS, 
THOUGH, JUST SO I CAN BE CLEAR 
ON THIS.
I CAN UNDERSTAND WESTERN UNION.
WHEN YOU GAVE YOUR SISTER $25 
YOU MADE HER SIGN A LITTLE NOTE 
SAYING THAT YOU HAD GIVEN HER 
$25?
>> NO, IT WAS A $25 MONEY ORDER 
RECEIPT WHEN I HAD TO GO FROM 
DOWNTOWN MANHATTAN TO THE UPPER 
WEST SIDE ON A BUSY DAY TO SEND 
HER A MONEY ORDER, AND I SAID 
I'M GOING TO KEEP THIS DAMN 
THING AND MAKE HER PAY!
>> Jimmy: AND HAS SHE PAID YOU. 
>> NO.
>> Jimmy: SHE HASN'T.
HOW LONG AGO DID SHE BORROW THIS
MONEY?
>> 1994.
>> Jimmy: OKAY.
WELL, WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A 
BREAK.
I'M GOING TO COMPOUND THE 
INTEREST, AND WE'RE GOING TO 
FIGURE THIS ALL OUT.
DON'T GET MAD AT ME DURING THE 
BREAK, OKA
