Jim Carrey's Paintings Reflect the Reality Of American Politics. And Mangoes. Lots Of Mangoes.

>> Stephen: HEY, EVERYBODY.

WE'RE BACK HERE WITH JIM CARREY.

>> HI.

>> Stephen: JIM, GOOD TO SEE YOU.

>> HI!

>> Stephen: HEY, BOY, OVER HERE.

YOU'VE BEEN DOING A LOT OF PAINTINGS AND CARTOONS.

>> YES.

OH, I-- YEAH, I MEAN, WE BOTH HAVE BEEN LIGHTHOUSE KEEPERS IN

A WAY, AND THAT'S HOW I FELT THE LAST LITTLE WHILE.

WE'RE LIGHTING THE CANDLE UP THERE.

IT'S SPINNING AROUND.

WE'RE KEEPING THE COFFEE WARM.

AND WE'RE STANDING OUT ON THE ROCKS IN A GALE, TWISTING IN THE

WIND AND GOING LIKE, "YOU'RE GONNA HINT THE ROCKS!

THERE'S ROCKS HERE!

BIG ROCKS!

JAGGED ONES!" >> Stephen: YEAH.

>> THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING.

( APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: I LIKE IT.

ALONG THE WAY, I FELL IN LOVE WITH A MERMAID.

>> OH, WOW.

>> Stephen: WELL THIS IS-- >> MY MERMAID HAD A LAWYER.

>> THIS IS ONE OF YOUR PAINTINGS HERE.

THIS IS CALLED GOUL-IANNI.

I LOVE THAT.

>> THIS ADMINISTRATION HAS A WAY OF JEKYLL AND HYING PEOPLE, YOU

KNOW, WHAT I MEAN?

FINDING THE WORST IN THEM AND BRINGING IT FORWARD.

>> Stephen: EVERYTHING THAT TRUMP TOUCHES DIES.

>> EXACTLY.

ABSOLUTELY.

HE'S RADIOACTIVE, LET'S FACE IT.

I PUT THAT ENERGY FIELD AROUND GHOUL-IANI.

>> Stephen: HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN DOING HYPER-REALISTIC

PORTRAITURE LIKE THIS.

>> THE CAPTION ALSO IS, "EEK, SAID THE SPIDER."

>> Stephen: I LIKE IT.

>> TERRIFYING TO INSECTS.

>> Stephen: THIS YEAR YOU'VE MOVED AWAY FROM POLITICS A

LITTLE BIT.

>> YES.

>> Stephen: AND A COUPLE OF-- THESE GOT JUMBLED A LITTLE BIT

WHEN THE CHAIR FLIPPED.

>> SORRY.

>> Stephen: NOW, THERE'S BEEN A RECURRING THEME IN YOUR WORK.

>> YES.

>> Stephen: THIS YEAR.

THAT IS A MAN EATING A...

>> I JUST DECIDED TO CONCENTRATE ON THE MANGOES.

BECAUSE-- BECAUSE I NEEDED SO BADLY TO FIND ONE SYMBOL, ONE

THING THEY COULD COUNT ON TO BE SWEET AND LOVELY AND ABUNDANT,

AND THERE FOR ALL OF US.

SO I CHOSE MANGOS AS MY SYMBOL.

I DECIDED THAT EVERY MONTH IN 2020 WOULD BE MAY.

AND THE TREES ARE FILLED WITH MANGOES.

( APPLAUSE ) ( CHEERS )

>> Stephen: YOU CAN EXPLAIN-- CAN YOU EXPLAIN-- CAN YOU

EXPLAIN THIS ONE?

>> IT GOES THAT WAY.

>> Stephen: SORRY, IT GOES LIKE THIS.

>> THAT'S OKAY, THAT'S OKAY.

LET THEM FIG TUR OUT.

>> Stephen: EXACTLY.

THAT'S A SQUIRREL EATING A MANGO.

>> YEAH.

>> Stephen: WITH A SWITCHBLADE.

>> THAT'S RIGHT.

THAT IS A SPECIAL FOR NEW YORK CITY.

THIS IS A WORLD PREMIERE ON YOUR SHOW.

>> Stephen: NO ONE HAS SEEN THIS YET.

>> NO ONE HAS SEEN THIS EVER.

THIS IS A WORLD PREMIERE.

AND THE CAPTION OF THIS BEING, "IF A SQUIRREL STEELZ YOUR MANGO

IN CENTRAL PARK, JUST BUY ANOTHER ONE.

IT'S SO NOT WORTH IT."

( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: WE ACTUALLY HAVE

HERE-- WE KNOW THAT YOU-- YOU ENJOY THE MANGO.

>> DID I KNOCK IT ON THE FLOOR?

I'LL EAT IT ANYWAY.

>> Stephen: LOOK AT THIS.

>> LOOK HOW INCREDIBLE THAT IS.

COME ON!

TELL ME THAT'S NOT LOVE RIGHT THERE.

THIS IS THE UNIVERSE.

( APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: IT'S YOUR MANGO.

>> NO, NO, ABSOLUTELY, PLEASE, PLEASE.

>> Stephen: IT WAS EITHER MANGO OR CRACK.

WE WENT WITH THE MANGO.

>> LET'S SHARE A MANGO.

( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE )

>> Stephen: I'VE SEEN "THE GOD FATHER."

>> "GODFATHER."

I LIKE TO PLAY WITH MY FOOD FIRST.

>> Stephen: IN LIGHT OF THE DARKNESS, AS THE SAYING GOES, IN

LIGHT OF THE DARKNESS, WHAT HAVE YOU FOUND OUT IN THE WORLD?

BECAUSE YOU'VE BEEN SEARCHING, I KNOW, FOR LIGHT OUT IN THE

WORLD.

RIGHT NOW IT'S MANGOES.

>> IT'S MANGOS RIGHT NOW.

I WENT OUT SHOPPING LAST NIGHT AND LOOKED FOR EVERY MANGO I

COULD FIND, SO I PLAN TO HAVE THEM HAND OUT MANGOES TO

EVERYONE IN THE AULDIENCE TONIGHT.

THAT'S RIGHT!

( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) YOU'RE GOING TO GET A MANGO AND

YOU'RE GOING TO GET A MANGO AND YOU'RE GOING TO GET A MANGO!

♪ ♪ ♪ YOU'REALLY GETTING MANGOES!

THAT'S RIGHT!

MANGOS FOR EVERYONE!

♪ ♪ ♪ WOW!

>> Stephen: HE'S NOT KIDDING.

HE'S NOT KIDDING.

THERE'S GOING TO BE BOXES OF MANGOS AFTER THE INTERVIEW

TONIGHT FOR EVERYBODY.

( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) RIGHT?

SADLY, WE'VE GOT TO TAKE ANOTHER BREAK.

PLEASE DON'T LEAVE BECAUSE I'M GOING TO STAY HERE, AND YOU'LL

BE RIGHT BACK WITH MORE JIM CARREY.
