Transcript

00:00And they thought I was an a**hole because they were calling my name after I finished my sip,

00:03but I wouldn't respond. Because you forgot your name. Yeah. Stuck up.

00:14What's Jamie's real name?

00:18Is it your real name? Your last name or your first name? Eric B.

00:24That's an S. Oh, hold on.

00:27Yeah, there we go. We'll just edit.

00:32Look at you knowing. You know, it's just something I know about.

00:35One of my best friends in the whole entire world.

00:41I was doing stand-up comedy in the 80s and I would go to open mic night and as Eric Bishop,

00:49I went up and I got a standing ovation. I went back the next few weeks,

00:52they would never put me back on stage because the comedians ran the list. So,

00:57you write on the list and they would choose. So, I said, why am I not getting picked? They said,

01:00bro, you was too funny. And I noticed a hundred guys would show up and maybe five girls would show

01:05up. The girls will always get a spot. So, on the list, I wrote down unisex names,

01:10Stacey Green, Tracy Brown, Jamie Foxx. So, I said, this is a place they haven't seen. They said,

01:14okay, we're going to start it here. Jamie Foxx, is she here? I was like, yeah, I'm right here.

01:18So, I go up as Jamie Foxx. I get a standing ovation at this thing and that's how Jamie

01:23Foxx was born. Wow. That's amazing. That was back when you could just do anything in LA.

01:27Cameron went to high school with which famous rapper? You might know.

01:34Snoop. I've known Snoop since his name was Calvin Brodus, when he was hanging out at

01:43VIP Records off of Atlantic Boulevard in Long Beach. I wish that I had my phone with me because

01:49I'd show you a picture from our yearbook. Wow. Yeah. So, I've known him for a long time.

01:56Yeah. He just calls them, FaceTimes them out of nowhere sometimes. He's like, hold on a second,

02:02Snoop. Santa with a cup. Santa with a cup. Jackrabbits. What year did you both first meet?

02:09Could have been, I think you're right. Hold on, I'm going to change it. I put 94,

02:17but I think you're right. It was 93. 1993, that's 30 years ago. That was way overexcited.

02:28I was making The Mask with Jim Carrey and Jim was still on in Living Color and Ace Ventura hadn't

02:35come out yet. I was just with Jim and he took me to Living Color and I got to meet the cast. I

02:43remember walking down and meeting Jamie on set and saying hi. I was of course a fan because I

02:50loved in Living Color. So, it was really exciting. Karen, it was brief. We were just all blown away

02:57by her presence and who she was and everything. That's it. I was nobody. Nobody knew who I was.

03:05Yeah, but when you came in that year, I mean, it was everything.

03:09Interesting story. When Jim Carrey was writing Pet Detective, he actually wrote it,

03:13he was on the set of Living Color and I would walk in his office. I said, what's up, Jim? Hey man,

03:18what are you doing? He was just writing this little thing called Pet Detective and in the

03:22back it was all these cue cards. Oh, wow.

03:24And then when he finished the movie, he had me come to his place to see some of the clips

03:30and I shook his hand that day and I said, I'll never be able to shake your hand like this again.

03:34So, what do you mean? I said, when this movie comes out-

03:37It's the beginning.

03:38Who did more stunts in your new film, Back in Action?

03:49It felt like the bitch again.

03:52Mom.

03:52She's fine. It's not that bad.

03:54I do love doing stunts because I just feel like one of the great things that as actors that we

04:00get to do is we learn these new skill sets from the best of the best, because we have to learn

04:05them really quickly and act as if we know what we're doing. I love the aspect of kind of going in

04:12and learning from the best and getting to apply it and have fun with it. And then of course,

04:16working with incredible talent like our stunt people who show up for us every day and do the

04:22really hard stuff.

04:23She had a great stunt lady, but she would also say, okay, I got this.

04:26Yeah, it's fun, but they use a lot of pressure on me.

04:28I'm this guy in the seat like, yeah, tell him, yeah, yeah. Tell him to do another flip.

04:34I didn't believe him.

04:36Who's most likely to be a better CIA agent in real life?

04:45I'm a Virgo.

04:48You know what I mean? I'm a Sag.

04:50Cameron's noodle is amazing. And she knows what I mean. She's on another level.

04:56The we're going to be aliens thing, I've never got over it.

05:00And I'm not going to explain what it was.

05:04What city was Jamie born in?

05:07I don't know exactly the city, but I know he's from Tejas.

05:11Yeah, there you go.

05:15What city was Cameron born in?

05:20In the city they call Long Beach.

05:23I don't know whether she was born there or not, but I know that's where she was reared.

05:28Jamie won his Grammy for which song?

05:36Is that right?

05:38No, we won it for...

05:39You won it for...

05:40Didn't we win it for Goldie? I won it for Blame It.

05:43Oh, wait, for what?

05:44Blame It on the alcohol.

05:45Blame It on the alcohol.

05:46My daughter constantly would go...

05:47Well, I feel like, you know...

05:49Yes, we got robbed.

05:53That was, you know, a couple of decades ago.

05:55Blame It on the vitamins.

05:57A whole different lifestyle.

05:58Supplements.

05:59Blame My supplements.

06:01How many Shrek movies has Cameron been in?

06:06Three.

06:08We're going on the fifth one, so I've already done four.

06:10Oh, so four.

06:12I love Fiona, of course.

06:14She's amazing.

06:14Yes, I love Fiona.

06:15I believe she exists.

06:17She... do you?

06:18Does that make sense?

06:19Yeah, she does.

06:20She does exist in the hearts like Santa Claus.

06:23I just...

06:24If you believe in her, then she will be.

06:26It's so real.

06:27What is Jamie's go-to food on set?

06:30Let me see.

06:32It would be...

06:37Chicken.

06:40He always eats...

06:41Literally, this man can eat as many chicken breasts

06:44as one person could just throw into his gullet.

06:48And it has nothing to do with...

06:50He just loves chicken.

06:51I just love chicken.

06:53Nothing to do with my heritage.

06:57I just happen to love chicken.

06:59My sister used to trip out on me.

07:03Because my thing was that I need a six-piece from Popeyes.

07:06So I'd be on the set waiting for that chicken.

07:08Like, I need it.

07:10And I would just start eating right there on the set.

07:12And my sister says, they're looking at you.

07:14I say, who?

07:15And then the whole set would be like, it's true.

07:22Do you know that that's my favorite food as well?

07:25I love it.

07:25Had it at my wedding.

07:26Fantastic.

07:27It's my favorite.

07:28I love some good old chicken.

07:29What is the name of Cameron's wine company?

07:34Oh man, that's a...

07:37That's a tough one.

07:42Word up.

07:43Let me see.

07:43Oh my god, you got it.

07:45Yes.

07:47I'm in tune.

07:48Cameron, if I'm watching the holiday, what wine pairs best with the viewing experience?

07:53I would say Avaline.

07:54Our Avaline Pinot.

07:57Pinot Noir.

07:58Also our Avaline Sauvignon Blanc.

08:01And of course, if you love a bubbly, Avaline Sparkling and Sparkling Rosé.

08:06And then of course, just everyday drinking would be our Avaline White Blend and Red Blend.

08:13Yeah.

08:13I'm getting wasted.

08:14Yeah.

08:15It's just, you get to choose.

08:16You get to choose.

08:17They're all good for the viewing.
