The Interview

We now turn to the hostile nation of North Korea.

The rocket they are testing is believed to be 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 Skylark.

Tonight, we are joined by 13-time Grammy winner,

Oscar-winning songwriter,

Detroit's own Eminem.

He'll 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.

"It's hell to be Shady.

"Yesterday I yelled a degrading insult

"at an elderly lady.

"Then I asked her how it felt to be 80.

"'F' word a senior citizen.

Suck a wiener, sit and spin."

... "Suck a wiener, sit and spin."

It's funny.

"And why you drive so slow for?

"Don't you want to get where you're going faster

"since you'll probably die tomorrow, you old whore?

"Die, old bitch, die,

before I murder you."

What do you mean by this, Em?

Well, first of all, I feel like, when I rap,

like, people twist my words.

Okay, but can you see

how an old person might say, "I think

"what this guy is telling me... This Eminem... is that I should

go kill myself, and I... 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. - You know, it's like,

- if I say something about women or whatever... -Yes.

I think a lot of that is more or less me

just dealing with issues with...

you know, old issues with my mom or whatever.

With your "mutha."

Yeah, or-or... you know,

when I say things about gay people

or people think that my lyrics are homophobic,

- Mm-hmm. - You know, it's because I'm gay.

Um, when I rap about violence

- Wait... -or, you know, sound like I'm promoting violence,

I think that, uh... you know,

- it's more or less because... - What? -What, what, what?

You know, it's kind of... it's kind of about me just,

you know, confronting it.

- What did he just say? - Wait, can we play that...?

- He said he was gay. - Did he just...? Dave? Dave?

- Did he just say he was gay? - We're pretty sure

in the booth we just heard him say he was gay.

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

You... just said

that you were gay?

Um... and I'm just curious

what you meant by that exactly.

I mean I'm gay.

Uh, I'm just a little confused here, because "gay"

can mean a lot of things.

I am a homosexual.

Meaning...?

I like men.

What the fuck just happened?

Eminem just said he was gay... four times.

That's what the fuck just happened.

- Holy shit. - Holy shit.

Eminem's gay on our show.

- Eminem's gay on our show! - Oh, my God!

...Camera two! Camera two!

Gay Twitter! Gay Twitter's blowing up.

- Holy shit. - Change the chyron.

"Eminem Gay?!" Question mark, exclamation mark.

Dave, keep him talking. Keep him talking.

- Oh, my God. -Holy shit. - Push in on gay Eminem!

This is 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 yet.

I mean, it's kind of like I've been playing gay peekaboo.

Gay peekaboo.

Yeah. But, um...

Shit. Camera one. Camera one.

- This interview is over. - Shut it off. -No!

- Shut it off. -Get the fuck out of here, Darryl.

I am Marshall's publicist, and I'm telling you,

- pull the fucking plug right now. - No. This is gold.

I am not cutting this interview off.

This is the best interview we've ever done.

- What happens if I just do this? - No, get out.

...Shut it off! Shut it off!

Get him out of here! Get him the fuck out of here!

I will murder you and everyone you love!

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't get pregnant

if I bisexually wreck ya."

I've pretty much just been leaving a...

bread-crumb trail of gayness.

- I see that now. - You know.

But yeah, actually Hector...

Hector was a... was a real person.

Hector and his rectum were real?

- Holy shit. -It's real! - Hector rectum is real!

- Yes! Yes! -Oh, I knew it! - Slim Shady, everyone!

Dude! Dude!

Aaron, bring it in.

- Oh, my God. Oh, my God. - Bring it in, big boy!

...Oh, my God...

- Oh...! - Oh, my God!

What the heck just happened?

The real Slim Shady just stood up.

Oh! -That's what the fuck just happened.

This is like Spike Lee just said he's white.

I can't believe what's happened.

- You da man! You da man! - You da man!

You're the best.

You're the best. You're the best.

- Unreal. -All right, listen, I'm gonna go get my makeup off.

I want you to meet me downstairs.

I got something to show you.

Dude, just... where are we going?

I thought we were going to the Hamptons for the weekend, man.

- No, no, no, no, no, no... - What is this place?

We're just, you know... just hanging out.

- Okay. -All right, all right, all right.

It's a surprise party... for you.

What? Why? Why did you just tell me that?

Yes! I... 'Cause I'm so excited.

This is gonna be great. This is gonna be great.

I don't understand what's happening.

Surprise!

All right, all right. I already told him.

I already told him. Come on, come on.

You're best in the world, you fucking cocksucker.

All right, not now, Malcolm. Not now, not now. Come on.

- Come on. -Thank you. - Why... why is this happening?

You've been with us

for 1,000 episodes.

- Are you kidding me? - Ten years, baby!

- Are you fucking... - Come on.

I really do. It's, uh... I appreciate it.

- All right. - Okay.

All right, now,

I know I 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 up this professor that worked

at the Columbia School of Journalism that I...

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 that I could make,

this is the most important:

I'm Gollum...

...and you're my precious.

Smeagol 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. Okay. Okay.

- I fucking love you. - Oh...

Hey.

Hey!

Hey.

Yeah. Like, what's that?

Come on, man. What's happening?

- Hey, yeah. - Hey, yeah.

- Wh-What's happening? - How's it going, dude?

We haven't seen each other since graduation, right?

- Yeah. Probably. - Wow. And, uh...

Wait. Am I wrong? Are you, like, a...

you're a junior producer on "60 Minutes," right?

I'm now a senior producer.

- No way, man. - Yeah. Yeah.

- That's awesome. - Thank you.

Look at us... both producing news for television.

Yeah.

- What was that? - Nothing.

It was clearly something. What's the joke?

No, I mean, like, you've got your job,

I got mine, but they're different, you know?
