00:00Can we talk about the fact that behind you is like a real giraffe, that we were literally

00:07at this safari park?

00:08I mean.

00:09It's super weird.

00:10During the interviews, I keep seeing the journalists get like a look of wonder on their faces.

00:12I know it's because it's not because of my answer to the question.

00:17I thought this was a comedy.

00:18I think you could include an enthusiastic rambunctious warthog a little bit more.

00:22And a charismatic meerkat you can't help but fall in love with.

00:26Seth Rogen and Billy Eichner joined the stars bringing their voices to Mufasa the Lion King

00:31out Friday.

00:32And it's not just the kids who are fans of their work.

00:35Billy, meeting Travis Kelce.

00:36You did what?

00:37I was at a party after the Oscars this year and I walk into the party and the first people

00:43I see are Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.

00:45Which is wild.

00:46And then I'm mingling at the party and then this is all true.

00:49I feel like a very like bro-y like pat on my back.

00:53Very hard, right?

00:54And it's Travis Kelce and he looks at me and very confidently shouts Jimmy on the street.

01:03I love you man.

01:05And then he like fist bumps me.

01:08And he was like beaming, right?

01:12I could not bring myself.

01:13You couldn't correct him.

01:14I could correct him.

01:15Oh you didn't correct him.

01:16No.

01:17And all night I kept seeing him and I could not correct him.

01:21Billy is adding more than just Tavis to his list of celeb encounters.

01:26How are you feeling about now counting Blue Ivy and Beyonce as co-stars?

01:29Pretty weird.

01:30Yeah.

01:31Very unexpected.

01:32We were on Beyonce's album.

01:35Hakuna Matata.

01:36Remember that?

01:37Yes.

01:38She used gifts.

01:39She used our voices.

01:40We were technically on Beyonce's album.

01:41Yeah, that she made when the 2019 one came out.

01:42We do not get any residuals.

01:43No, not a dime.

01:44Gifting us this time around is Lin-Manuel Miranda with seven new songs on the soundtrack.

01:57Beyonce's Inspired By album, which I feel like expanded the vocabulary of like what

02:02a Lion King song could sound like.

02:03There was a lot of space to play.

02:05Aaron Pierre is Mufasa and recognizes the importance of the role played by the late

02:10James Earl Jones.

02:11We are all connected in the great circle of life.

02:15James Earl Jones's name is synonymous with an abundance of greatness, including the 1994

02:23original and his hoping that we've served him and we've honored him and his legacy to

02:28not only Lion King, but to the world.
