White supremacists and i was sick to my stomach. My daughters are in the next room playing and im thinking, how can i explain to them theres so much hatred in this world . Theyre 2 years old and 4 years old. They dont know what hate is. They go to the playground and they have friends of all races and backgrounds they just play and they laugh and they have fun. But as kids grow up, they need people to look up to, to show them whats right and good. They need parents and teachers. And they need leaders who appeal to the best in us. The fact that it took the president two days to come out and clearly denounce racist and White Supremacists is shameful. And i think he finally spoke out because people everywhere stood up and said something. Its important for everyone, especially white people in this country, to speak out against this. Ignoring it is just as bad as supporting it. And remember, there are people who have given their lives to make sure this kind of hate doesnt spread. They fought and died on the right side of history. One brave woman in charlottesville, heather heyer, died standing up for whats right at the age of 32. I cant look at my beautiful, growing, curious daughters and say nothing when this kind of thing is happening. We all need to stand against what is wrong, acknowledge that racism exists, and stand up for what is right and civil and kind. And to show the next generation that we havent forgotten how hard people have fought for human rights. We cannot do this. We cant go backwards. We cant go backwards. Thank you all for watching and listening. This is the tonight show and well be right back. Um. Im babysitting. Thatll be 50 bucks. You said 30 dollars.

From the night of and girls, double emmy nominated riz ahmed is on the show tonight. [ cheers and applause ] double whammy, and we have great music from chord overstreet. [ applause ] jimmy but our first guest is an Academy Award winning actress. She was also nominated for an emmy for her work in the fx series feud bette and joan, you can see her in the new season of ray donovan airing sundays at 9pm on showtime. Everyone please welcome, Susan Sarandon [ cheers and applause ] jimmy the one and only. The one and only susan look at that. New york city. That is so moving. I didnt even bring my daughter anything, and theyre standing up. Jimmy standing up. Thank you. Jimmy exactly, they just love you. Thank you. Jimmy welcome back to the show. You look gorgeous. Thanks. Thank you. I made an effort for sure. [ light laughter ] jimmy thank you for being here. Its tough doing a show on nights like this because its yeah. Jimmy its tough telling jokes about that, but how do you take it in when you saw what happened this past weekend . What do well, i think we have to own it. Jimmy yeah. I think we have to admit that this is a systemic problem. I mean, this country was founded on a genocide of native americans, and on the back of slaves, and i dont think weve ever really dealt with that. So this is something that goes very deep, and as you said with your daughters, you know, you have to teach hate. They dont come out that way. So i think that the way you deal with it is to do as much as you can. I mean, on her last post heather said, if you arent outraged then youre not paying attention, and i think this is an amazing opportunity for people to pay attention. Jimmy it is, yeah. And to have these conversations. [ applause ] you know, everyone in mainstream media, the president , everyone was quiet during Standing Rock. Nobody covered that. No one seemed to be outraged that the strip searching and, you know, labeling, and rubber bullets, and people losing eyes, and arms. People didnt even know about that, and until people dont have to say black lives matter were not free. Jimmy yeah. You have to. Youre always an activist. You were well, since ive known you, but have you always been a when did you start im so old that in the day [ light laughter ] when i was going to school, you know, you saw much clearer what was going on. Jimmy yeah. You saw what was happening in vietnam. If you had half a brain, and you were young, and you were idealistic you protested. You saw what was going on in the south with segregation. Now we dont see as much unless youre on alternate you know, democracy now or the young turks, or whatever youre not getting the images. You see, you know, a lot of stuff online and i think thats why the millennials are way, way ahead of everybody else, because they see actually whats going on. So when i was growing up the issues were clearer. As everyone my age became landed gentry, and kind of became the establishment, maybe they were less active, but i guess maybe its i mean, i used to alternate my dolls dresses just to make sure that not one doll got, you know, all the nice dresses. [ light laughter ] jimmy no favoritism. So i have jimmy no favoritism on your doll collection. Yeah. So i have like a really, some kind of innate, sense of justice, and also im in a a profession where youre encouraged to use your imagination, which means that then you have empathy. So then what do you do . So im constantly developing that muscle in my business to identify with people that dont have a voice, or with mothers all over, whether its nicaragua, or whether im not its poor mothers. Or, you know, whats happening now, thats enormous distance between the rich and the poor. Until everybody can make a a descent wage, and get health care, and get education, we cant expect to be a stable country, and a lot of places have been able to do it so we have to ask ourselves whats keeping us from the richest nation in the world, supposedly. Why dont we have these things, and we have to hold people responsible that we elect, and look at their ties to big business and everything else, and whats interesting is that i was reading that the most endangered demographic whos not endangered, but whose life span has been decreasing as others peoples life spans have been increasing are white men. Jimmy really . Yeah. So how frustrated are they . How whats wrong with them that they are [ light laughter ] i see my words coming out in a a bubble that are going to be used later against me. Jimmy do you think like that . I mean, do people a lot of people dont like actors speaking out, or being activist. Yes. So now we have a reality show star as the president . Come on. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] and and we have two of the worst actors, one is president , and one is governor of california. I mean what is it . Just good actors arent supposed to have i dont get it. [ laughter and applause ] jimmy come on. But i guess what im saying is that theres a lot of frustration in this country. No matter what you call yourself, republican or democrat and independent. Jimmy yeah. People are hurting, and theyre not moving forward, and theyre having troubles with their jobs, and they dont have health care, and they dont have a lot of real stuff jimmy yeah. And that is very easy to turn on mexicans, or to turn on blacks. I mean, people that dont deserve to have the blame, and as long as were separate, and were not helping each other, its not going to get better. So what we have to do is reach out whether or not its in your community, in your schools. Definitely check out who youre voting for in terms of who pays them, and then youll know better whats happening. Run for office. Call. [ cheers and applause ] i mean, theres an enormous amount, you know. When you see what happened with the health care, people called and emailed, and made sure that that bill didnt go through. It was the people that did that, and i believe in the people, and i know that we can make a difference if we decide that this is a priority. You know, we have to decide that we want to end racism and injustice. We have to make that a a priority, and then we can do it. Jimmy have you ever lost work, or not gotten work, because youre an activist . I feel that thats kind of like worrying if your slip is showing as youre fleeing a a burning building. [ laughter ] jimmy who cares . [ cheers and applause ] who cares . Yeah. No, but im going to be a a woman much longer than im going to be an actor. Im going to be a mother much longer than ill be an actor. So, i dont know. You have to live an authentic kind life. Thats all im striving for. Just to have fun, to be authentic, to be generous, to be kind. Thats all i want. Im just trying to do all i can to just to do those things. There pretty small, but its not easy, and i feel that if i can help to give information. I dont have the answers, god knows. But if i can by my presence jimmy get the conversation going. Get the conversation going. Get the dialogue going. Thats the beginning, and youre having this dialogue, and people all over are having this dialogue, and having it online, and having it at home, and have it with your kids. And just be aware, and take a a breath, and try not to react in too visceral of a way even though its outrageous. Outrageous, when you saw the police being pushed against, nothing was happening. I mean, that would never happen in a black lives matter demonstration. If they were pushing against the police, and standing there while violence i mean, that would never have flown. Jimmy youve been at protests before. I know that. Right . Yes i have gone from metal handcuffs to the plastic ones. [ light laughter ] jimmy you have been handcuffed. Well of course, they always handcuff when they arrest you. They handcuff you. Jimmy did you get what happened . What happens after you get you get thrown you get taken to jail. And if you [ laughter ] jimmy i mean the paddy wagon . If you they give you sometimes. I mean, not in Standing Rock for instance, but normally they say, okay now is the time people are going to get arrested and so you have a a choice, and usually you can leave if you dont want to get arrested, but if you plan to get arrested then you get arrested, and they take you to somewhere, like a jail. [ laughter ] and hopefully you get out in like seven or eight hours, or whatever. You know, it depends on how fast they process or what the who the mayor is. Sometimes that has something to do with it, and where it is. You know, it was very different in Standing Rock. That was really horrible what happened to those people, because you shouldnt be strip searched for having a peaceful demonstration. So there was harassment, it varies. I mean i shouldnt be glib about it. I have been very lucky when i have been arrested. Jimmy do people recognize you . Sometimes when im chained to a pole they take pictures. [ light laughter ] jimmy what . Do you mind if we take a a picture . Im like sure, why not . Im here. You know. [ laughter ] lets do it. Jimmy so you do it . Like yeah, im here. Im handcuffed anyway. Cheese. [ laughter ] jimmy more with Susan Sarandon when we come back. I have more questions. [ cheers and applause ] a modern way to pay. You excited . Its sold out. Dont fret, my friend.

Its going to be a fun table so thats what is important. Jimmy but you were nervous doing this doing this role. Because you had to get the breakdown. Oh, i thought you meant going to award shows. I was going to say yeah, getting my dress is a horrible thing. Jimmy yeah, yeah, yeah. [ laughter ] that does make me nervous. I was overwhelmed for six weeks or so my funfear ratio was definitely off. [ light laughter ] i just you know, because everybody has this idea of what shes like and what she sounds like, and its not the way i talk, because im a slow sloppy talker and shes, like, so, you know. And everybodys seen an imitation of her and i dont know, i just i just thought it was good. You know, it was hard. Jimmy yeah. It was really hard. Jimmy especially, coming into, kind of, ryan murphys family which, hes worked with on other people before. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was the odd gal out for sure. Jimmy you would sit by yourself at the lunch table. Yeah. Jimmy and like, hi, guys. [ laughter ] yeah. Jimmy want to be my friend . Exactly, yeah. [ laughter ] i just used it. I used it. Jimmy yeah, exactly. What do you really want . The sense of isolation. Jimmy and it was beautiful. The set was great. Yeah, no. Jimmy and the costumes. They did a great job. Jimmy hair and makeup. Everything. And he and he does a a really good bette davis. So he was always helping me. Jimmy oh, is that right . Was he really . And joan crawford, but mostly bette. Jimmy yeah. Yeah. Jimmy and you havent seen the show, right . No. Jimmy no. Im going to dine out on the fact that everybody else loved it, but i dont im not going to see it. Jimmy do you watch your own things or not really . I watch them if i can Say Something that will make a a difference. If i have no control over the final product, then why kill myself and watch it . No, i dont. [ laughter ] jimmy will you really . Will you go like wasnt that like the alcoholic thing, know what you have the power to change or Something Like that . Isnt that .

Of course, im being blackmailed. And i need a fixer. Jimmy yeah. But im also starting a a jumpsuit nation. Im only wearing jumpsuits. Like onesies for grown ups. Jimmy from from now on . Yeah well.

[ laughter ] ive got to say. The night of, girls, star wars rogue one, youre the most famous human being now on earth. [ light laughter ] do you get recognized everywhere . Do people come up to you, and stop you on the street . You know its a weird thing, cause a lot of this really happened really quickly, so people recognize me a lot, but they dont know what they recognize me from. [ light laughter ] do you know what i mean . So theyll kind of people will just stare at me and point and be like [ laughter ] jimmy man i and then theyll come up to me and go, dude, do i know you from somewhere . If they really dont know, then you can actually have quite a a lot of fun with that. [ laughter ] you can just be like yeah, we went to high school together. [ laughter ] a good one is like, i used to date your sister. Hows she doing . [ laughter ] jimmy thats pretty good. Where does it get the worst . Wheres the worst . Where you get busted . Where you get recognized . I mean, its never terrible getting recognized, but sometimes its super awkward. Like, okay, i get i get randomly selected for secondary searches every time i fly to america. [ light laughter ] im glad you find it funny. Thanks a lot. [ laughter ] cheers. Well, i mean look. Racial profiling, its always a a waste of time, its a waste of money. It kind of alienates people, but its also super awkward. Its like people will be like swiping me for explosives making sure its safe to let me on a plane, and at the end of the search theyll be like, dude, i love rogue one. can i have a selfie . Jimmy yeah. [ laughter ] yeah, yeah. You were just in my business. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, but the thing i think is like, if i say no to that selfie, will they let me on the plane . [ light laughter ] theyve got a theyve got a a lot of power then. But i know, its weird. Its like, you know who i am why i dont know. Jimmy you recently met this is called the ahmed three, and just explain, what is this . Okay, so like i said, i always get pulled aside for secondary searches. I think it was at like, minneapolis airport or something. They said mr. Ahmed for a a secondary search. So all three of us went up. [ laughter ] jimmy oh, my goodness. Three ahmeds. The staff didnt know who to search. I mean, ahmed is very common surname. So the staff didnt know who to search. They just searched all of us, and we were like, yo, this is more sociable than it normally is, and we were like hanging out. [ laughter ] jimmy you had fun with it. Yeah, we were like, swapping stories. Like, yo, you better stay away from miami airport. Its the worst. [ laughter ] its like so, i thought, let me just take a little selfie, and i did this little facebook post. Jimmy yeah. I said, were going to start a boy band. Jimmy yeah, exactly. Starting a boy band called and a weird thing happened, is it became like a meme, and people started drawing fan art about this fake boy band called the ahmed three. [ laughter ] jimmy its a fake band. Well right now, but if you guys are watching [ laughter ] if you guys are watching, call me. cause that can be serious. Jimmy lets make this work. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, the first single, they said, should be called randomly searching for you. [ laughter and applause ] jimmy i think its a a beautiful song. Randomly searching for you. Thats like thats like a wedding song. Its fantastic. Hey, youve got to be proud of this. Youre on the cover of Time Magazine my friend. [ cheers and applause ] the 100 most influential people. I mean, how surreal is that . Is that cool . Thats still surreal. Like, is this real. I dont know jimmy no, its not. We made this in time square, yeah. You did. [ light laughter ] jimmy anyone can do it yeah. The 100 most influential people, and they picked like yeah. Jimmy five people to be on the cover, and youre one of the five people. Yeah, i owe someone at Time Magazine a lot of money. [ laughter ] a lot of money. Its weird, i dont know. Look, it feels really nice for me obviously personally, but the thing i always think of, is growing up i often didnt see people like me in the culture, and when you dont see yourself reflected back like that, it kind of sends a message to you that you dont matter, or your story doesnt matter. So, hopefully there might be some kids out there that see this, and think, you know, wow, i could i could maybe do that as well, you know. [ cheers and applause ] jimmy because you do it so well. Theres got to be some auditions that did not go well. Im assuming. Just cause every actor has so many, man. Jimmy really . Yeah. Jimmy any big im really bad at auditioning. Jimmy me too. Really . Jimmy thats why im here hosting [ laughter ] im awful at acting. I had a particularly bad one for slumdog millionaire. [ audience aws ] yeah, yeah. Jimmy were you oh, no. You were not. I wasnt right for that role, and dev patel played that role so amazingly well. Jimmy you were up for the dev role . Well, i went up for that role, and i was so wired and nervous, they were like, you look more like a crazy person. Play the brother. [ light laughter ] hes aggressive. Do that. And so i started doing that i was a little bit stiff. Danny boyle, amazing director, wants to put everyone at ease. Jimmy oh, yeah. So he was like dude, just do whatever you want. Like, you can just go there. Youre really upset with me in this scene. Do what you like. So he calls action, and i just grabbed him, and threw him against the wall, and like started screaming and spitting in his face, and at the end of the audition he called cut, and i saw id ripped his shirt open. [ laughter ] jimmy oh, god. And he just kind of goes, all right riz, thank you very much. Cheers for cheers for stopping by, and the weird thing is i left that audition thinking i nailed it. [ laughter ] how could i not have jimmy you ripped his shirt off yeah jimmy its the director of the film. So much passion. Jimmy he was like, this guys i was like jimmy this guys way to high strung. I cant work with this dude. I was like, called my agent like, its in the bag. [ laughter ] jimmy well, the night of, man, oh man, you did a great job. And you did a very you did a a queens accent. I did. Yeah, yeah. Jimmy a very new york accent, yeah. Is it easy for accents . What do you do . Theyre not that easy. No, i just kind of like, really geek out on the research. I spend a lot of time in queens. I start doing youth work with kids in queens. Heems, the other part of the swet shop boys jimmy oh, yeah. From queens. I got to know him through that, but i think one of the things that helped me the most, i dont know if i should say this is, i started sneaking in to classes at queens college. [ laughter ] i just, the security there needs to really [ laughter ] jimmy wait, now you want to be patted down . I mean yeah. [ light laughter ] i like that. I like the contact. [ laughter ] but its weird cause yeah, i just started turning up to these classes. I thought, you know what, i can just blend in. I just started hanging out with people in the cantina, going to classes, getting to know people, giving them my number. They were like, whats your name . Youre new here. I was like naz, and [ laughter ] they were like, oh, were having a party come and hang out. But i thought that would be too far, living the lie, so i just became really unpopular really quickly as being this guy whos like, give everyone their number, and then ghost on them. And not show up. [ light laughter ] jimmy no, its not nice at all. Yeah, absolutely. I want to show everyone a clip heres riz ahmed in the night of. Take a look at this. I woke up in the kitchen, and walked up the stairs, down the hall to the bedroom to get dressed and say goodbye. She didnt say anything, so i touched her to wake her, and felt in my hand something wet. I turned on this lamp next to the bed, and saw blood, the wounds and she was dead. Yeah.

[ cheers and applause ] jimmy welcome back, everybody. Were here with riz ahmed [ cheers and applause ] now, you know, from Time Magazine. No big deal. Anyway, i want to hear about your hiphop group. This is the swet shop boys but its swet swet shop boys. Why no a . Um, id like to say theres a really deep philosophical reason behind it. But its partly just to troll the pet shop boys. [ laughter ] and slightly no, not really. I love the pet shop boys. Jimmy yeah. Its actually because my bandmate, heems, thought it would look cooler on a tshirt if it was like four letters. Swet shop boys. Jimmy oh, yeah. But we still havent made those tshirts. [ laughter ] jimmy there are no tshirts. Yeah jimmy and how many years ago was that . This is a couple of years ago now. Jimmy yeah. And the weird thing about it is is that heems is like, hes always got his hustle on. He was kind of like we hadnt recorded any music, and he was thinking about the tshirts. [ laughter ] jimmy hes a business man. Hes a business man. Jimmy absolutely, yeah. Yeah, for sure. Thats why. Jimmy do you remember the first concert you ever went to . Yeah, actually, the first concert i went to was a a Michael Jackson concert. Jimmy no. [ cheers ] massive, massive Michael Jackson fan. Jimmy no, no, no. Yeah. I was, like, 8 jimmy Michael Jackson . I was, like, 8 or 9 years old. He was playing at wimbley stadium, which is which is right near where i grew up. And they allocate certain tickets for people that lived nearby. I couldnt get a hold of one, but last minute, my dad managed to hustle one up. Has one for his kid whos crying, because he cant see Michael Jackson. But its like, its one ticket. So whats he going to do . So he basically turns up to wimbley stadium at an entrance to see the first family who are going in and just goes, take care of my son, hes going to the concert with you. [ laughter ] and bounces. And jimmy you went into wimbley stadium with a strange family . It was an amazing family moment, just not with my family. [ laughter and applause ] jimmy you miss them sometimes. Yeah. Yeah. Jimmy theyre great people. Yeah. I remember looking up at my fake dad like going, this is so amazing, right . [ laughter ] hes like, yeah, it is. Jimmy did you get if those guys are watching as well, call me. [ light laughter ] jimmy yeah, call him. Yeah, he misses his family. Whats up . Jimmy at thanksgiving, get together, yeah. [ light laughter ] but you got to see Michael Jackson. How fun is that . It was incredible, man. Hes just, like, such a, you know such an inspirational icon to me and so many people. Jimmy well, i love your performing and i know were on the same no big deal, were on the same album together. Oh, yeah. Jimmy the hamilton mixtape. Oh, yeah. Jimmy no big deal. [ cheers and applause ] thank you very much. Please please sit down. Please, sit down. Thank you. [ laughter ] thats too much. Oh, no, no, i couldnt. I couldnt. [ light laughter ] you couldnt even you couldnt pay me [ cheers and applause ] no, no. Oh, because the roots were involved with that, as well. Cool, yes. Jimmy and linmanuel. Amazing. Jimmy how did you get involved with that, the hamilton mixtape . I just started stalking him. [ laughter ] i just i saw hamilton and i was like, this is so incredible. Hes so talented. And i just found out his managers email and i just sent a long email going like, youre so amazing. I love your show. Youre a genius. Thank you for creating this. I didnt hear anything for, like, a month. And then i guess lin, like, dived he just does a deep dive on everything. He just knows so much. Hes got a giant brain. And he just hit me back and was like, i checked out all of your music, all our your links, all of your stuff. I want you to be on this mixtape. And i thought it was a fake email to begin with. [ laughter ] jimmy yeah. Yeah, just put that in the junk folder. Jimmy yeah. Throw it out. Jimmy but hes so nice. Hes so nice and such a a talent. Jimmy but brilliant. You know, a brilliant, brilliant mind. And immigrants we get the job done is the song on the mixtape if you know it [ cheers and applause ] he just slays it. I thought tonight, i was hoping maybe you could give us a a little something, if could, if you dont mind performing for us. [ cheers and applause ] yeah. Jimmy maybe a yeah, i mean, you know, its interesting. You know, i was thinking about the speech that you gave earlier and in light of all the Current Events that are going on, it just seems like were living in really, really divided times. And it really hurts, you know . And i wrote this piece ten years ago and every year i keep hoping it will become irrelevant, but it seems to become more and more relevant sadly. And its my intent to try to get behind the headlines and work out where all of this extremism is coming from. Jimmy do you need music for this or anything . No, just the mic please. Jimmy there you go. Thank you. Cheers. [ laughter ] jimmy riz ahmed, everybody. [ cheers and applause ] in these sour times, please allow me to vouch for mine. Bitter taste in my mouth, spit it out with a rhyme. Hey, yo, im losing my religion to tomorrows headlines. Guantanamo, sorry bro. Nah, nothing, its fine. And now its post 77. Why they calling it that . Theyre trying to link it to new york, like were all under attack from the same big bad guy, but its taking a piss. cause the truth is terrorism aint what you think it is. There aint no super villain planning these attacks from some base. The truth is so much scarier and harder to face. See theres thousands of angry young men that are lost, sidelined in the economy, a a marginal cost. They think theres no point in putting ballots up in the box. They got no place in the system and no faith in its cogs. Easy targets that be getting brainwashed by these knobs who say that spilling innocent blood is pleasing to god. Well, it sounds good when you dont see no justice or jobs. The gas bills are piling up, but all the oils getting robbed. So davids taking out goliath and his wife and his dog. Segregated, castrated. Now we see whos on top. So see, it aint religious faith thats causing these crimes. Its losing faith in Democratic Free market designs. Its no coincidence the bombers came from ghettos up north. And the way that trump talks gives a lost boy a cause. Them double standards get them angered, both at home and abroad. Theres a monopoly on pens, thats why they forge their own swords. The misguided turn violent, strap themselves up with bombs. But theyre still cowards, because they aint here when the backlash is on. So in these sour times, please allow me to vouch for mine. Bitter taste in my mouth, spit it out with a rhyme. Hey, yo, im losing my religion to tomorrows headlines. Abu ghraib, sorry, mate. Nah, nothing, its fine. So all the men that want to say that my religion has to change. That were stuck in a bygone age. Its time to set it straight the vinyl straight. Dont you think its kind of strange that all of this terror outrage, these lost gods castaways, these bastards that will blast away, turned up in the last decade when islam has been the way for millions is from back in the day . Instead of thinking that were crazy, investigate just what is says. First help the poor and pray. Go mecca east and fast and faith. Thats the basics, thats the base. So how did we get here today . Interpretations always change. Today theyre red with rage. Binge it, hardened up. Desperations kind of makes you use a book of peace as weapons in iraq. So listen. Terrorism isnt caused by religion. Or an oldschool vision of islamists against the quran. And its a new innovation caused by mashed up situations. Thats what makes them turn to arms. The problem is modern and its all local factors. Dictatorships, injustices and wars cause fatwas. So in these sour times, please allow me to vouch for mine. Bitter taste in my mouth, spit it out with a rhyme. Hey, yo, im losing my religion to tomorrows headlines. But its fine. [ cheers and applause ] jimmy that was amazing. Thats amazing, dude. Riz ahmed, everybody [ cheers and applause ] well be right back. [ cheers and applause ] im leaving you, wesley. But why . You havent noticed me in two years. I was in a coma.
