Welcome, welcome.
Welcome to armchair expert.
I'm Dax shepherd.
I'm joined by Monica Padman.
Hi.
Hello.
Oh, this was a long time coming.
In fact, I think I even flirted with this around the strike time when I had gone and done a charity event on stage, and I told a story about chatting with him backstage, and we were both like, well, when's he coming on?
And now he's finally here.
He barely does anything.
He does.
It was very flattering that he came here.
Jack Black.
Oh, my God, do I love Jack Black?
Who doesn't love Jack Black?
He's an award winning actor, a comedian, and a musician.
Kung fu panda, noncho libre, Jumanji.
Welcome to the jungle, the holiday.
And he has a new movie out in theaters this Friday the 9th called Borderlands dystopian futuristic tale.
He plays a robot.
