You have "The Masked Singer"

and you have a new movie called "Elsewhere."

-Oh, thank you. Yes. -And congrats on this.

"Elsewhere" now is out -- Is it out next week?

-Yeah. It'll be out at the end of this week.

-Yeah. -No, it's a lot of fun.

It's kind of a departure for me.

-It's more dramatic. -Yes, a bit more dramatic.

And it stars Aden Young, who was on "Rectify."

Is a great show.

Parker Posey is in it. -I love her.

-And Beau Bridges, Jacki Weaver, and it's --

-Do you like doing the dramatic?

-You know, I mean, I do. I really enjoy it.

I don't get a lotta opportunities to do drama

because I'm busy doing sit-ups all the time.

[ Laughter ] -Yeah, I can see why. -You know, and I'm working out.

-You put out a different message.

-Yeah, I'm getting shredded. -But it's 2020, though.

-Yeah, it's 2020, so.

-So it's 2020 right now. -You know, maybe I'll eat

more carbs and do drama.

[ Laughter ]

-That didn't flow at all. -Really? It didn't flow at all?!

I don't think. Really?! Really?! -Yeah, no, not at all.

-[Laughing] -Really? I thought I crushed it.

[ Laughter ] -No. But I like seeing you do more dramatic roles.

-Thanks. I mean, I really am just so grateful.

I never forget that I used to be a doctor

who just wanted to do --

who just wanted to perform for a living

and, just to do that for a living and then,

to be able to do all these things

and then to do something like this movie was a lotta fun.

And shoutout to Hernan Jimenez.

He was just a great director, who really kinda

took a chance on me and just kind of just believed

that I could kinda perform the way he wanted me to

and the tone of the movie that it was.

I was really honored and proud of the movie, so, thanks, yeah.

-Hopefully, you'll get to do more dramatic work.

-Yeah. That would be really great.

-I gotta talk about "The Masked Singer"

because it's a phenomenon. It's a cultural phenomenon.

Man, oh, man! It was the biggest thing, ever, and, now,

following the Super Bowl? -Yeah, it's insane.

-And you got two great teams playing that Super Bowl.

It's a big deal. -You got the Blue Jays --

[ Laughter ] -No, no, no. -No?

-No, it's Kansas City.

-Really?! [ Laughter ]

-Don't agree to disagree again. -Agree to disagree.

No, you keep saying--

[ Laughter ]

I mean, everyone -- -It is going to be amazing.

It's a big Super Bowl. -I'm not even that big

an NFL guy, but like Chiefs and the 9ers,

everyone knows that, you know?

It is going to be huge and you're right.

Just to be on a show like "The Masked Singer,"

it's just such an honor. I mean, really.

No one knew it would be this big or this popular.

And then, no one also knew

that I would be the dumbest judge on that show.

[ Laughter ] I didn't know that was my legacy.

You know you're stupid when you think the poodle is

Dog the Bounty Hunter and I wish --

[ Laughter ] I wish that was a joke.

-You really did? -I really said that on the show.

Yeah. That's how dumb I am. -I mean, you never know.

Well, that's the arc of my life.

You know, I got paid, as a doctor, to be smart

and, now, I'm paid way more to be stupid, you know?

[ Laughter ] It's just like

[ Laughter and applause ] that's just insane.

-That's a good quote right there.

[ Cheering and applause ] That's a good quote right there.

-Stupid sells, baby!

[ Laughter ]

-But you don't have any hint or anything?

Like when you're rehearsing,

like how do they get the artists in and out?

-Well, there's a whole method.

It's like two separate shows going on. It is like.

Contrary to popular belief, like no one --

we don't know who the contestants are.

Nick Cannon, the host, doesn't know.

It's like two separate productions in one.

And, if we do ever have to cross paths,

the contestants have to wear like black hoodie, black visors,

and a black T-shirt that says, "Don't look at me."

And even their agent and publicist, their whole squad,

they have to wear masks, just in case if like

let's say we would have the same agent or something like that.

Like we don't know who anybody is.

-I'm sure they're gonna up their game for the Super Bowl.

-Yeah. Oh, well. -I know Jamie Foxx is coming on

with you. -He is one of my heroes and one

of my role models in comedy. -He can do it all.

-And he's one of my favorite people in the world.

I'm proud to call him my friend as well

and just, oh, he lit up the show.

It's the best show we've ever done.

-Really? -And it's not because

it's the Super Bowl, but,

I'm just happy that we're following the Super Bowl,

so everyone can see that episode.

It's literally, I think it's the best episode we've ever done.

-I wanna show everyone a clip.

This is just a clip of what "The Masked Singer" is.

'Cause basically what it is, is, if you haven't seen it --

which everyone has -- but we air all over the world.

-We air all over the world!

Tunisia.

[ Laughter ]

Micronesia.

Fallonesia. -Yeah, okay.

Basically, you have to guess the singer.

So a big like costume comes out and sings and then -

-Yeah, we get the concept, Jimmy.

It's a singer in a mask and you guess it.

-Oh. -Doy!

[ Laughter and applause ]

God!

-[laughing] Here's a clip.

Here's Ken Jeong on the new season of the --

Oh, I get it now. It's called "The Masked Singer."

-Yeah, it's called "The Masked Singer," Jimmy!

-Alright, take a look. Take a look.

[ Laughter ] -Do a sit-up!

-'Cause his hair reminds me of Joel McHale.

[ Laughter ] -Oh, my God.

So funny. -Joel's been on season 1

and season 2. It'd be a very good trick,

if that was Joel McHale. -I never agree with Robert.

We don't get along, but -- [ Laughter ]

-Joel's from Seattle, isn't he?

-Joel's from Seattle. -Really?!

-Yeah. 233. The clue.

He is 233 years old, right?

[ Laughter ]

And, this is exactly what Joel looks like

before hair and makeup.

[ Laughter ] It is true. It's a fact!

Ladies and gentlemen, Joel McHale on the other side!

[ Cheering and applause ] Alright, everybody.

Let's see if he's right!

Ken Jeong, everybody!
