RUSSELL!

HERE THEY ARE!

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT.

SEE, THAT'S WHERE I WANT TO BE, BETWEEN YOU THERE AT THE FIRE,

BRINGING YOU DRINKS AND YOU GIVING ME ADVICE ABOUT LIFE.

( LAUGHTER ) >> OH, MY GOD.

YOU DON'T WANT THAT.

>> James: I DO.

WHO ARE THE DOGS?

>> HI, BENNY, HE'S WORKING ON ONE OF HIS TOYS.

>> THEY JUST JUMPED UP HERE, SO I FIGURED, WHY NOT, RIGHT?

>> James: IT FEELS QUITE WEIRD WHEN YOU POINT TO YOUR ASS AND

SAYS YOUR DOG IS WORKING ON ONE OF HIS TOYS.

I'LL BE HONEST, I'VE HEARD IT CALLED MANY THINGS BUT NOT THAT.

THERE YOU GO.

HOW ARE WE, GOLDIE, KURT?

ARE WE READY FOR THANKSGIVING?

WHAT'S A TYPICAL THANKSGIVING IN YOUR HOUSE?

>> A LOT OF FUN, TURKEY, EVERYBODY SITTING AROUND AND

ENJOYING EACH OTHER.

YOU KNOW, THERE'S ACTUALLY SOMETHING -- I DON'T KNOW IF

APPLE DOES IT OR NOT BUT ALL THE PICTURES OF THANKSGIVING TWO

YEARS AGO, WE HAD SO MUCH FUN AND I ACTUALLY LOOKED AT IT, AND

EVERYBODY WAS HERE AND IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL.

REALLY, ANYWAY, IT'S A WONDERFUL TIME TO BE TOGETHER.

THAT'S ALL I CAN SAY.

>> GRAB A SPOT ON THE COUCH FOR AFTER YOU EAT FOR, LIKE, A HALF

HOUR.

>> James: GOLDIE, WE HAVE TO CONGRATULATE YOU.

IT WAS YOUR BIRTHDAY ON SATURDAY.

HOW WAS IT?

DID KURT RUSSELL SPOIL YOU ROTTEN?

>> WE HAD SO MUCH FUN.

HE TOOK ME TO A GOLF SHOP AND BOUGHT ME ALL NEW GOLF CLUBS.

>> James: YOU ARE ROMANTIC!

IT WAS AMAZING.

>> James: SHE SAID SHE WANTED TO PLAY GOLF ON HER BIRTHDAY

WITH HER TWO SONS, OLIVER AND WYATT, WHO ARE GOOD GOLFERS.

I DIDN'T WANT HER TO WALK INTO THAT GAME WITH LOUSY CLUBS.

SHE'S GETTING GOOD, ACTUALLY.

SHE'S ACTUALLY GETTING GOOD AT GOLF.

>> WELL, YOU KNOW, HONEY, I'M HAVING FUN.

IT WAS A GREAT BIRTHDAY, SWEETHEART, THANK YOU.

>> James: KATE WASN'T ABLE TO CELEBRATE WITH YOU BUT SHE

POSTED A TRIBUTE ON INSTAGRAM WHERE SHE CALLED YOU A GODDESS,

WORKER, FIRE BENDER, SCORPION-TAILED WHIRLWIND.

IS THIS A GOOD DESCRIPTION?

>> FIRST OF ALL, SHE CALLED ME AND SAID, MOMMY, THAT'S PRETTY

GOOD, WASN'T IT?

I SAID, THAT WAS REALLY GOOD.

SCORPION, WHATEVER, WHAT WAS IT AGAIN?

>> James: A SCORPION-TAILED WHIRLWIND.

>> SHE'S RIGHT ON A LOT OF LEVELS, I GUESS, BUT I THOUGHT

IT WAS QUITE BRILLIANT MYSELF, AND I WAS VERY HONORED.

>> James: IS THIS AN ACCURATE DESCRIPTION, KURT?

>> I HAVEN'T FIGURED OUT WHAT IT IS YET BUT I LIKE THE SOUND OF

IT.

>> James: NOW, KURT, THIS IS YOUR FIRTH TIME ON THE SHOW.

WE LOVE EVERY TIME YOU'RE HERE.

BUT I'VE GOT TO SAY YOU HAVE BEEN KEEPING SOMETHING FROM ME,

WHICH I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT.

YOU RELEASED AN ALBUM IN 1970.

WHY HAVE WE NEVER TALKED ABOUT THIS?

HOW DID THIS ALBUM COME ABOUT?

>> IF YOU HAVEN'T GIVEN KURT RUSSELL SINGS A LISTEN, YOU

HAVEN'T HEARD MUSIC.

>> James: HONEY, YOU HAVE A GOOD VOICE.

>> YOU KNOW WHAT?

MY DAD WAS SITTING IN A BAR, OR HE RAN INTO A PRODUCER IN A BAR,

A GUY NAMED DANNY JANZEN, HE PRODUCED BOBBY SHERMAN'S ALBUMS

AMONGST OTHER THINGS.

THEY GOT TO TALKING.

I THINK THEY'D HAD A FEW.

THE NEXT THING SOMEHOW I'D BEEN ROPED INTO DOING AN ALBUM,

BUBBLE GUM, WHICH WAS NOT REALLY MY JOY.

( LAUGHTER ) IF IT HAD BEEN COUNTRY WESTERN

IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN MORE MY STYLE.

BUT, YEAH, I THINK THEY MADE 10,000 ALBUMS AND SOLD OUT

IMMEDIATELY.

>> OH, YEAH...

>> James: SURE.

YOU COULD HAVE HAD A WHOLE -- >> WAIT A MINUTE, I'M NOT THE

ONLY ONE IN THIS -- >> James: WE'RE COMING TO THIS

BECAUSE, GOLDIE HAWN, YOU ALSO PUT OUT YOUR ALBUM HERE AND

LOOKS AT THIS, I LOVE THE COVER.

AND YOU -- ONE OF THE TRACKS WAS PRODUCED BY DOLLY PARTON.

>> OH, MY GOD WHEN I MET DOLLY PARTON, IT WAS NEVER SO EXCITED.

MY DADDY AND I WENT TO NASHVILLE AND MY DADDY WAS PLAYING, HE WAS

A VIOLINIST, AND WE WERE FROM THE SOUTH.

IN THE MEANTIME, SHE OPENS THE DOOR WITH PORTER WAGONER AND SHE

LOOKED SO BEAUTIFUL, THIS BEAUTIFUL HOURGLASS FIGURE AND

SHE LOOKED AT ME AND SAID, GOLDIE, YOU LOOK LIKE POPIN'

AND I HAD BEEN CALLED A CHICKEN THAT JUST HATCHED.

( LAUGHTER ) SHE WAS SO GREAT.

I GOT TO SING HER SONG WITH MY DADDY PLAYING.

IT'S A MEMORY -- IT'S JUST THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MEMORY.

>> James: I THINK WHAT WE GET IS YOU'RE A FRESHLY HATCHED

CHICKEN WITH A SCORPION'S TAIL AND THAT'S A LOVELY PIECE OF

IMAGERY FOR ALL OF US.

>> A LOT OF HATS, THIS GIRL.

>> James: DO YOU EVER PUT THESE ALBUMS ON AND DANCE AROUND

THE HOUSE?

DO THEY GET LISTENED TO AROUND THE HOUSE EVER?

>> WE'VE WORN THOSE NEEDLES OUT WE LISTENED TO IT SO MUCH.

( LAUGHTER ) YOU CAN ALMOST IMAGINE.

TALKING 50 YEARS AGO.

>> IT'S A LONG TIME.

DON'T KNOW HOW YOU FOUND IT.

SOMEBODY DID SOME DIGGING.

>> IT WAS VERY, VERY VIVID IN MY MIND.

I THINK BECAUSE OF MY DAD.

THAT WAS KIND OF COOL.

>> James: LET'S TALK ABOUT "THE CHRISTMAS CHRONICLES

PART 2", SUCH A JOY.

AND THE FIRST MOVIE WAS SUCH A HUGE SUCCESS.

GOLDY, WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE SEQUEL?

>> OH!

THE SEQUEL ADDED MRS. CLAUS, WHICH KURT'S IDEA WAS TO BRING

ME IN AT THE END OF THE FIRST MOVIE, AND TURNED OUT THEY DID A

TWO.

I THOUGHT WHAT'S SHE GOING TO DO?

THEY PUT ALL OR MOST OF IT IN THE NORTH POLE.

IT'S AS GOOD AS THE FIRST ONE AND A LITTLE BIT WAY DIFFERENT

BECAUSE IT'S ACTION AND IT'S FUN, AND MRS. CLAUS IS VERY

MAGICAL, SO SHE'S GOT POWER.

IT'S KIND OF A MODERN WAY OF LOOKING AT MRS. CLAUS AND

SANTA CLAUS, AND IT'S GOT SO MUCH IN IT, I REALLY LOVE THE

MOVIE.

AND I LIKE YOU IN IT A LOT.

( LAUGHTER ) >> James: WELL, THERE IS

THIS -- WE GET TO SEE -- I MEAN, WHAT'S IT LIKE KISSING

SANTA CLAUS?

>> OH, I DIDN'T KNOW KISS HIM.

YES, YOU DID.

OH, AT THE END!

DON'T GIVE IT ALL AWAY.

OH, Y GOD!

NO, I LOVE KISSING SANTA CLAUS, AND I'M REALLY HAPPY I GET TO

HAVE DONE IT AND BEEN IN THIS AGAIN TO WORK WITH HIM BECAUSE

HE'S THE GREATEST PERSON TO WORK WITH.

AND THE MOST FUN AND THE SMARTEST AND THE MOST CREATIVE

AND THE MOST GENEROUS AND I TELL YOU IT WAS REALLY GREAT.

SO GOING HOME TOGETHER IS REALLY NICE.

>> James: THIS IS O REASON YOU LOVE KURT RUSSELL.

I KNEW HE WAS A CASH GUY!

I KNEW HE WAS A CASH GUY!

THAT'S WHY IT'S SO RARE NOW.

I MISS IT.

IT'S SO RARE THAT YOU CAN REACH INTO YOUR POCKET AND THERE'S

PHYSICAL CASH!

THAT'S WHAT I LOVE ABOUT KURT RUSSELL, HE'S A CASH GUY.

I BET EVERY POCKET'S GOT ANOTHER LITTLE BIT TROUSERED AWAY AND,

YOU KNOW WHAT?

TEN BUCKS IN THE SHOE JUST IN CASE.

GOLDIE, IT'S SUCH FUN SEEING YOU IN THE MOVIE TOGETHER.

REGGIE, DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION FOR OUR GUESTS THIS EVENING?

>> Reggie: YES, I DO.

TONIGHT'S QUESTION GOES TO -- ( DRUM ROLL )

-- BOTH OUR GUESTS.

>> James: OKAY.

>> Reggie: AT WHAT POINT DO YOU THINK IT'S TOO LATE BEFORE

YOU CAN TURN AROUND?

( LAUGHTER ) >> I'LL TELL YOU EXACTLY WHEN IN

AN AIRPLANE, BUT I DON'T THINK WE OUGHT TO BE TALKING ABOUT

THAT.

>> IT'S ACTUALLY KIND OF A TRICK QUESTION BUT A GOOD ONE.

>> VERY GOOD, REG.

VERY DEEP.

>> I KNOW.

IT'S A GOOD ONE.

YOU KNOW WHAT'S BEHIND YOU BUT NOT IN FRONT OF YOU.

>> I WAS A DANCER SO I COULD COME UP WITH A LOT OF REASONS

YOU CAN'T TURN AROUND.

I WAS IN ROLLER SKATES.

SO IF YOU'RE DOING A DANCE THE WAY I WAS IN LAS VEGAS IN ROLLER

>> WHEN I FIRST MET GOLDIE ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS THAT STICKS

OUT IN MY MIND IS WHEN SHE TURNED AROUND.

( LAUGHTER ) >> James: AND ON THAT

BOMBSHELL, REG, IS THAT CORRECT?

>> Reggie: I'M AFRAID THAT'S THE MAXIMUM LEVEL OF

CORRECTNESS.

>> James: IT'S THE MAXIMUM LEVEL OF CORRECTNESS!
