The Interview

We now turn to the hostile nation

of North Korea.

The rocket they are testing

is big enough...

...to reach the West Coast

of the United States.

Today, an official of the United Nations

tried to tell the world...

...so there will be no mistake...

...that we are living in the midst

of a modern-day Hitler.

A young, untested leader

with nuclear ambition-

- Kim.Jong-un.

- Kim Jong-un.

We are talking about Kim Jong-un.

Good evening. I'm Dave Sky/ark.

Tonight, we are joined

by 13-time Grammy winner...

...Oscar-winning songwrften

Detroit's own:

Eminem.

He W speak with us about his new album

which has been mired in controversy...

Concerning lyrics

that some view as demeaning...

...to the elderly.

Tonight...

...on Skylark Tonight.

And...

...action.

"IIZS hell to be Shady

Yesterday I yelled a degrading insult

At an elderly lady

Then I asked her haw it felt to be 80

F- word a senior citizen

Suck a Wiener, sit and spin "

- "Suck a wienen sit and spin"

- it's funny.

'%

d why you drive so slow for?

Don't you wanna get

Where you?e going faster

Since you7/ probably die tomorrow

You old whore?

Die, old b*tch, die

Before I murder you"

What do you mean by this, Em?

Well, irsl of all,

I feel like when I rap, like...

...people twist my words.

Okay. But can you see

how an old person might say:

"l think what this guy is telling me,

this Eminem...

...is that I should go kill myself,

and, you know, I don't like that"?

I mean, I don't necessarily rap about...

...the things that I hate.

It's more about the things that I fear.

I get you.

- If I talk about women or whatever.

- Yes.

A lot of that is more or less me

just dealing with issues with...

...old issues with my mom or whatever.

With your mother?

Yeah, or, you know, when I say things

about gay people...

...or people think

my lyrics are homophobic.

t's because I'm gay.

- When I rap about violence...

- Wait.

..or, you know,

sound like I'm promoting violence...

- ...I think that it's more or less...

- What? What? What?

...because, you know, it's kind of

about me just confronting it.

What did he just say?

He said he was gay.

Dave. Dave, we're pretty sure

we just heard him say he was gay.

Em, let's just back it up a moment.

You...

...just said...

...that you were gay?

And I'm just curious

what you meant by that exactly.

I mean I'm gay.

I'm a little confused here

because "gay" can mean a lot of things.

I am a homosexual.

LVleaning...?

I like men

What the f*** just happened?

Eminem said he was gay four times.

Thais what me f*** just happened.

- Holy sh*t.

- Holy sh*t.

Eminem's gay on our show

Oh, my God. Camera two.

Gay Twitter's blowing up.

Change the chyron. "Eminem gay?!"

Dave, keep him talking.

Keep him talking.

Push in on gay Eminem.

The greatest moment in gay history!

- are probably shocked

by what you're saying right now.

I'm more shocked

that people haven't figured it out.

t's like I've been playing gay peekaboo.

- Gay peekaboo.

- Yeah.

- But....

- Sh*t. Camera one.

- This interview is over. Shut it off.

- No! Get out of here.

I am Marshall's publicist.

Pull the plug now.

This is gold! This is the best interview

we've ever done!

What happens if I do this?

- Don't touch my buttons!

- Shut it off! Shut it off!

- Get him the f*** out of here!

- I'm gonna murder you!

Thank you. Dave, look, I got the lyrics.

Say what I say.

What did you mean when you rapped:

"I said nice rectum, I had a-"

"- vasectomy Hector

So you can? get pregnant

If / bisexually wreck ya"?

I've pretty much just been leaving

a breadcrumb trail of gayness.

- I see that now

- You know?

But, yeah, actually,

Hector was a real person.

Hector and his rectum were real.

- it's real! Hector's rectum is real!

- Holy sh*t. Yes!

- Slim Shady, everyone!

- I knew it!

- Dude, dude!

- Aaron. Bring it in.

- Oh, my God.

- Bring it in, big boy!

Oh, my God.

- Oh, my God.

- What the heckjust happened?!

The real Slim Shadyjust stood up.

That's what happened!

- This is like Spike Lee said he's white!

- I can't believe this.

- You the man! You the man!

- You're the man!

- You're the best!

- You're the best.

Listen, I'm gonna go get my makeup off.

I want you to meet me downstairs.

Dude, where are we going?

I thought we were going to the Hamptons

- What is this place?

- We're just, you know...

...just hanging out.

- Okay.

- All right, all right, all right.

t's a surprise party for you.

What? Why?

Why did you just tell me that?

Because I'm so excited!

This is gonna be great!

- I don't understand what's happening.

- Surprise!

All right, all right, I already told him!

- You're the best in the world, cocksucker.

- Not now, Malcolm. Come on.

Thank you. Why is this happening?

You've been with us for 1000 episodes!

- Are you kidding me?

- Ten years, baby!

- Come on.

- Thank you. I appreciate it.

All right, now, I know

we all like to keep it light, keep it fun.

I'm gonna take it to a serious tip.

I'm gonna talk about Aaron

Before we started working together,

my show barely broke the top 15.

So I called this professor

at the Columbia School of Journalism...

...that I was having sex with, and I said:

"I need someone smarter

than anyone in entertainment!

I need a real journalist!"

Aaron, you are...

...the Samwise Gamgee...

...to my Frodo Baggins.

You are the Gandalf

to my Bilbo Baggins.

But of all The Lord of the Rings

references I could make...

...this is the most important:

I am Gollum.

And you're my precious.

Smagol needs Aaron.

One Ring to rule them all!

And in the darkness bind them.

Now, get up here! Get up here!

- Come up here, buddy. I love you

- Okay.

- I f***ing love you

- I love-

- Hey.

- Hey.

Jake.

Hey.

Yeah, like, what's that?

Come on, man, what's happening?

- Hey, yeah. What's happening?

- How's it going, dude?

We haven't seen each other

since graduation. Right?

Yeah. Probably.

And, wait, am I wrong? You're

a junior producer on 60 Minutes, right?

- I'm now a senior producer. Yeah.

- No way, man. That's awesome.

Look at us.

Both producing news for television.

Yeah.

- What was that?

- Nothing.

It was something. What's thejoke?

You've got your job, I've got mine.

But they're different.

Yours is cool.

Mine's just a little more serious

What? We have the same job.

I report real news.

You know, stuff that matters.

You report on all the cool:

"Who's getting new b*obs?"

And the fun eating-disorder stuff.

You really helped build up

60 Minutes too, right?

- it's only been on for 80 f***ing years.

- Look, I'm sorry.

I shouldn't say this,

but we got an opening at 60 Minutes.

- And we could use somebody like you.

- Are you serious?

I'm f***ing with you, man. Come on!

You'd be eaten alive at our office.

I'm gonna catch up with these guys,

but cheers, man, congrats.

Or whatever.

When did the hair begin to go?

I would say, around The Outsiders.

When you're ready.
