[ cheers and applause ] but its actually going off tonight. Jimmy it really is. Yeah, so you know, if it doesnt go well, i might just stow away. Jimmy and tell me about this movie now. Because youve been working on this for a while. Seven and a half years. Seven and a half years ago, i just finished jimmy so much work goes in to these things, i dont know if people even realize. Well i just hope for the oscars the producer of that came to me and said, man, you should do what youve done on the oscars, what youve done on stage, you should do it on film. And he had this idea for an original movie musical about p. T. Barnum and i said, thats fantastic. To be honest, i thought it was about a one in ten chance because it had been 23 years since a studio had commissioned an alloriginal movie musical. So, thats so all the music is original. Jimmy wow. All ten songs. And that started seven and a a half years ago and im so proud of it. I cant wait for you all to and the soundtrack just came out today. So, check out the soundtrack. Because these guys who wrote the music are phenomenal. They really are. Justin, benj and justin and benj. Which is justin paul, benj pasek. Check them out. Jimmy and then how did you come up these guys, when you started doing this, they w yeah, so theyre like straight out of college. They really we found them and they wrote one song, which we loved. And at the time, we were going to go for like whoever the biggest artists were. We went to bruno mars, we went to pharrell williams. Adele, all the writers. Macklemore, lewis. These guys were just writing the best stuff. So after they wrote one, one of the studio execs said to michael gracey, our director, they said, whos this justin and benj . Who are they . He said, oh, theyre huge. Theyre really huge, they just won a tony award for on broadway. Jimmy is that true . And the guys like no. [ laughter ] he goes, for what . And he said, oh, it was james and the giant peach. and he goes, oh, fine. Now, theres never been a a james and the giant peach on broadway but this was hollywood so they assumed it was true. Jimmy wow. And thats how they got in. And then they ended up writing all 10 songs. They just won the oscar for la la land. They won the tony award for dear evan hansen. The just got nominated for three Grammy Awards and they do not talk to me anymore. [ laughter ] jimmy thats how you do it. [ applause ] thats it. Jimmy thats the beauty.

Barnum, did you end up you must have done a bunch of research and read about him. Yeah, a lot. Hes an amazing character. He was a true pioneer, a bit of a disrupter. I think of him as a steve jobs or an elon musk. He saw the world completely differently to anybody else and he had this idea to change entertainment. Art at that time was kind of stuffy. It was opera, it was meant to elevate and meant to civilize. He was like, screw that. Lets make it for every he really invented pop culture. So it was, first of all, in the form of a museum and then it became the circus and the greatest show on earth. And he really redefined marketing. He redefined entertainment as we know it today. Jimmy what is the what is the song . This is me. Jimmy this is me. This is me is jimmy this is me is the jam. Well jimmy thats the one jimmy you know what he did . Actually, in the time jimmy this is me. Get it on spotify right now. If anyone jimmy alexa, play this is me [ light laughter ] if anyones seen the elephant man, you remember those people who were called oddities at the time were kind of in the seediest part of show biz. And they were locked up in basements and people were ashamed of them. And he brought them out in the spotlight. So tom thumb was the most famous person on the planet and beloved the world over. The bearded lady, the threelegged man. He brought them out and he made that was really his family. That was his circus troupe. And really what he was the first to do was to say, what makes you different makes you special. Dont hide who you are. Celebrate who you are. Own it. So that is one of the big themes. An anthem that every time i hear it, i choke up. Jimmy its fantastic. We have zendaya coming on the show on monday and shes fantastic. Zendaya to me and ive told her. Im ashamed of it. I hadnt heard of zendaya when the studio mentioned her. When i told my daughter, ava, who was 12, she was like jimmy oh, my god. Oh, my god.
