God that is so true he is so passionate about his art, i dont know why he isnt more famous, which is good also that he isnt too famous as he could be because hollywood would ruin him, he is THE man, funnier than Chris Farley even i would say
He found the sweet spot. He is so lucky that he can authentically live his passion (hopefully I'm not missing the dark side of the career) with that degree of success. In a healthier world this would be the norm in showbusiness. It's a direction we need to move towards, and for that we need to power down fear structures.
Actually there's a spaghetti western actor that sort-of looks like him, Marco Zuanelli. Who due to his looks sometimes played the protagonist's Mexican companion or a bandit.
Whereas that interview shows just how painfully Hollywood Elton is. That "This guy..." line was so forced and fake - I mean, I get he probably genuinely respects Jack Black, but the way he said it was like he KNEW he was meant to say something like that at that moment. And then at the end? Totally blanked on Jack Black himself/Kung Fu Panda to tell a basically irrelevant story about himself and how he wrote The Lion King, before suddenly remembering Black again and 'complimenting' the film in a hollow-sounding way.
Nothing makes Jack nervous. Jack treats everyone as equals, but here you can see how geeked and nervous he was. Jack is typically spontaneous, but you can also tell he was behaved beside a rock god
Jack Black must've thought "Holy shit I am so glad he interrupted me before I trashed those ugly ass shoes with a joke I've been working on since I first saw them"
It amused me how Elton John flawlessly worked a completely unrelated anecdote about himself into a discussion about Jack Black's film and then covered up what he was doing by ending the sentence with "and the film was great." It was like listening to a conversational magic trick.
DisThoughts more like Jack Black refers to himself as a "bona fide Hollywood legend" and then Elton John sneakily creates an anecdote where he can remind Jack Black that he's the God father of David Beckham's children and wrote the Lion King music.
Or you're in your own car listening to the radio at a red light with the windows rolled down and you look over to the car next to you and see Elton John singing to a bunch of kids in the back seat. He the looks over at you and that's when you realize Nickelback is playing on the radio...
The last part he said was ironic how his Godsons asked him to sing the Circle of Life, it was a touching moment for Elton, but everyone just laughed lol.
Its impossible to tell the difference between a laugh track and an English live studio audience. Both laugh perfectly on queue and just as long and hard as you want them to.
Jack Black is just so much fun to watch. He has this sense of having innocent fun, without worrying to look a little bit goofy and silly. People say he's ridiculous, but how can you not like him if he is so...genuine.
***** Yes, does that surprise you? His first album came out in 69-70 and was a hit in the UK and US. That's 46 years ago but I'm 40 and loved Elton's songs since a child, heavily influenced by my father.
I want to thank Jack Black for letting me fall in love with Elton. I knew the classics obviously but then like 2 years ago I saw this video and said to myself “uh let’s check out this take me to the pilot song” and I was instantly hooked.
I love Jack Black. He seems like such a genuine person. In some interviews he's even quiet/awkward and displays nervousness which is nice to see in celebs sometimes, because we're all human and we need to reminded of that these celebs are too. To summarize: Jack Black is awesome and I wish he was my friend honestly.
I met Elton John at the Billboard Magazine Performing artist of the Year Awards in 1974. My uncle Peter Heine director of sales for Billboard advertising introduced us. Elton was an easy guy to be around. Good company. Hey Elton. Pretty exciting huh! I was 15 years old. He was cool.
Because, you just watched him in all his glory here..? Are you completely unaware of your love for something? -When you know for a fact that there's a million billion reasons why this man is amazing. ..or I guess this could've just been one of those rhetorical questions.. Okay.
I love how when Jack gets to the part where he's like, "Hanne ha.. well I fell out your plither!" He turns to Elton as if he was expecting him to instantly get it. lol
Voldebutt Watch some Carson and Conan. Both are good too. Oh and let's not forget Ferguson. I love this format, but I like the one on one too, if done right.
Holy geez the talent on the couch tonight, Elton John is amazing, Jack Black is also just as amazing, just never quite took himself seriously enough lol
I wish I could be so effortlessly hilarious like jack black. It's almost like 60 percent of the jokes we all say these days come from jack black in the early 2000s.
Hi Josh. We also repeat Chris Farley jokes all the time w/o even knowing, but Dave Chappele takes up most of that remaining 40%. Any other ideas, Josh?
"Holy Schnike!" "mmm, I Likey" "Ugh, I can actually hear you getting fatter" "WHAT'D YOU DO??" It looks......real" "Does this suit make me look fat? No your face does." "That's gonna leave a mark." " Housekeeping. You want mint for pillow?" "Him just a wittle guy" "Could've done without that." "Fat guy in a little coat." The bit about going to college for 7yrs but not to be doctor. The bit where he puts something over his head and says, "Luuuuke, I am your father." "Do you know where the weight room is? I'll check it out." Tons of his SNL stuff gets repeated. Black Sheep, too. 90% of the time people are repeating his jokes and not even knowing it or modifying them.
Jack Black is a legend, doesn't get enough credit for how great he is.
God that is so true he is so passionate about his art, i dont know why he isnt more famous, which is good also that he isnt too famous as he could be because hollywood would ruin him, he is THE man, funnier than Chris Farley even i would say
He's not "THE man", he's to cool to be The Man.
I feel like he got famous through pure force of will.
For sure..his talent is crazy
He found the sweet spot. He is so lucky that he can authentically live his passion (hopefully I'm not missing the dark side of the career) with that degree of success.
In a healthier world this would be the norm in showbusiness. It's a direction we need to move towards, and for that we need to power down fear structures.
Yeah Jack Black is a fucking piece of gold man.
CANT YOU SEE HES THE MAN, LET ME HEAR YOU APPLAUD
HES MORE THAN A MAN, HES A SHINING GOLDEN GOD
IF YOU THINK IT'S TIME TO FUCKING ROCK
AND FUCKING ROLL
OUT OF CONTROL
he's a fat piece of shit
+Scott 70 what have you done with your life Scott? you're just a babbling brook. a rather mundane one at that !
You should know Scott, you look at one in the mirror everyday.
Never thought I get to see Elton John and Jack Black together.
Two legends supporting each other.
Jack Black looks like a corrupt Wild West lawmaker.
he could totally play that role in a Western
I can see him and KG performing Senorita looking ike that
He isn't one?
Actually there's a spaghetti western actor that sort-of looks like him, Marco Zuanelli. Who due to his looks sometimes played the protagonist's Mexican companion or a bandit.
he looks like cartman in that episode with the crack babes when he goes to the uninevrsity asking about the slaves"student ath-o-lets" :P
I like Jack Black because he doesn't try to be... Hollywood.
Mike Seo I like Hollywood because it doesn't try to be Jack Black.

YES! Exactly this. Ego-tastic Elton. XX
Well then you haven't heard the ballad of Hollywood Jack and the Rage Kage.
Hes british.. and egostictical.
We need a Elton John and Tenacious D duet
trio I guess
duet of bands :D
Mind = Blown... has to happen!
No challenge! I always wanted to play piano like a percussion instrument.
School of Rock was what we wished we had at Arthur Slade in Glen Burnie, MD.
go to hell ☺
Elton’s reaction at 1:37 when he doesn’t know what song Jack Black’s trying to sing 😂
Jack and Elton really got on.... Made Graham's job easy.
Col Bass Not surprising. Both of these men have very likeable personalities.
"Uncle Elton?"
"Yes?"
"You write songs, don't you?"
"Yeah"
"Sing us one"

wertrocks123 Ye, but it was pretty obvious Jack Black was taking the piss when he said that.
@@wertrocks123 then Elton John is a dense and stupid man for missing a blatant joke. Lol
I wouldnt say flawlessly. half way through his story I thought it was weird how he was already off the kung fu panda topic
@@mrtalkative91He was clearly blowing smoke up someone's ass. He didn't watch the movie is what I took from that.
Imagine driving down the street radio turned off and Elton singing his greatest hits for you
Or you're in your own car listening to the radio at a red light with the windows rolled down and you look over to the car next to you and see Elton John singing to a bunch of kids in the back seat. He the looks over at you and that's when you realize Nickelback is playing on the radio...
i was smiling until i got to nickelback...fuckin why man
+Legitaful because they're terrible, absolutely terrible.
A bit like the thing on late late show

Uncle Elton.
Uncle Pervy.
Yes?

Sing us one then
I'm going to be laughing at this all day now
Unlce Elton, what's that weird power you're putting in our drinks?
Can Jack and Elton please do a version of Take Me To the Pilot, but with Jacks lyrics, please?
LOL!
I second that!
talktomeaboutlife oh God, please yes!!!
talktomeaboutlife I want to date you
oh god just imagining this is already epic lmao
I thought the title meant jack black asked Elton John to identify a Tenacious D song and that's the only reason I'm here XD
Adam Thomas me2!
Elton John seems like such a nice person
+hazardmix Elton is intelligent and very funny. They both are.
He is a great and down to earth guy.
+Divad Mlap down to earth you say? the rocket man? down to earth? ha.
Divad Mlap As down to Earth as someone can be who wears all black with dazzling gold, giant sunglasses, and gold cross earrings.
Mogsy good story bro
Elton John, with all his fame and fortune, is just such a down to earth person.... he's amazballs!
Pause at 1:39. That expression defines Jack Black. Love the man... :)
A charming interview. Elton is delightfully down to earth for such an amazing, larger-than-life legend! I always LOVE the show :)
every inch of you has another amazing moment.
love you jack.
Elton John, Beckham's kids, Sunset Boulevard to see Kung Fu Panda and he serenades them on the way there. My brain is struggling to compute.
what a life those Beckham's kids had yeah
what a life those Beckham's kids had yeah
The last part he said was ironic how his Godsons asked him to sing the Circle of Life, it was a touching moment for Elton, but everyone just laughed lol.

263Adder hi
Eltons face at 1:38 is my favorite thing ever

Mr. Chopsticks not like American robots who over-laugh at everything

You will never know why this has soo many likes
Yeah you did ;)
Legend!

Jack Black if you’re reading this just know you have shaped my life and countless others in so many ways. you’re a national treasure
JablinskiGames I love you
I love Jack Black, he has always been such a joy to watch. What a fun guy.
1:38 That surprise reaction from Sir Elton when he has no idea what that song is😂😂.
I was on an Elton John concert in 2016! God, he's sooooo amazing! I'm so glad I had the opportunity!
Jack Black's infatuation with Elton John is so cute! I know the feeling!
You gotta love Elton from having his shoe maker in the audience to the Beckum kids in the backseat, absolutely glorious
Jack Black is just so much fun to watch. He has this sense of having innocent fun, without worrying to look a little bit goofy and silly. People say he's ridiculous, but how can you not like him if he is so...genuine.
I love Sir Elton John and his music for the past two decades.
I have for the last three and a half decades

No why

erm.. because your previous comment "really" suggested you were to me but that's one of the limitations of this format.

Jack Black can sing.
WE REIGN!

+Ryan Soleim In more ways than one.
+Ryan Soleim like the pheonix
you dont say?
First concert I ever want to was Elton John (with Billy Joel on their Face to Face tour) around 1996, so glad to have seen him live. Absolute legend.
jack black should do carpool karaoke, with all the artists from 70s, 80s, 90s, it would be killer....
I want to thank Jack Black for letting me fall in love with Elton. I knew the classics obviously but then like 2 years ago I saw this video and said to myself “uh let’s check out this take me to the pilot song” and I was instantly hooked.
I would kill to ride in the backseat and listen to Elton John sing the Circle of Life while he drives me to Kung Fu Panda premiere.
I love Jack Black. He seems like such a genuine person. In some interviews he's even quiet/awkward and displays nervousness which is nice to see in celebs sometimes, because we're all human and we need to reminded of that these celebs are too. To summarize: Jack Black is awesome and I wish he was my friend honestly.
It took Elton a while to recognise his own song!
He's wrote a few to be fair to him.
"you know, the one where you're singing and on the piano"
as in every elton john song?
it was what he said after that tho. I copped it about a whole 2 secs b4 elt did! It's a song he does quite a bit too.
Weirdly I recognized it pretty quick and the Jack Black lyrics make as much sense as the Bernie Taupin ones.
Also he doesn’t do the lyrics only the melodys (and obviously sings them) and stuff so maybe he didn’t recognize it without the piano
Elton John is goddamned hilarious!
José Alfredo Jiménez
Uncle elton you write songs don't you ....yes .....sing us one .......Said David
it does sounds like david beckham voice
Jack is so spontaneous, witty, and sharp, multi talented. Oh and Elton is pretty good too.
Jack Black's hand gestures really take his performance to another level
Oh,Uncle Elton,I have loved you since 1973............ I was 13 and bought my first album,Goodbye yellow brick road!....I love you too Jack Black
jack black is my spirit animal
Each of these guys is amazing in their own way and I love them both! Glad to see they also like each other!

pls
+David Lance It was based on a real story so... I don't know if there's enough material for a new one
Fuckin' A Bubba.
Jack Black is trying so hard to keep it together in front of his hero LMAO
"A bonafide Hollywood legend" haha I just remembered why I love this guy :)
I met Elton John at the Billboard Magazine Performing artist of the Year Awards in 1974.
My uncle Peter Heine director of sales for Billboard advertising introduced us. Elton was an easy guy to be around. Good company.
Hey Elton. Pretty exciting huh!
I was 15 years old. He was cool.
Fuck me Jack Black is massive now
He was always pretty big...
He was a lot thinner in the 90s before he got super-famous, but he's never been a skinny minnie exactly
Ummm, it makes his look. That's who he is. I like it.
HWHAHAHAHAHA IM SCREAMINGH
lol the look Elton does to the audience when Jack tries to identify his song, I love both of these guys
Why do I love Jack Black sooo much!
It's not a mystery, he is funny and talented. Good things to like!
+Psydrre Elton is divine but Jack is lovely you want to take him with you
Because, you just watched him in all his glory here..? Are you completely unaware of your love for something? -When you know for a fact that there's a million billion reasons why this man is amazing. ..or I guess this could've just been one of those rhetorical questions.. Okay.

god forbid one could actually think about more than 1 thing at a time :P
Um no. We have The Conan.
Psht Conan is great
I love Sir Elton John and Jack Black both. I am a HUGE fan of both.
Jack Black is turning into Kungfu Panda!
I am suddenly envious of the Beckham kids....'uncle Elton, sing us Circle of Life' hahaha brilliant!
It was so sunny in the studio.
Never trust anyone who wears shades inside lol
Just his style man
Holy geez the talent on the couch tonight, Elton John is amazing, Jack Black is also just as amazing, just never quite took himself seriously enough lol
Elton john is awesome im a fan
as an American I discovered this show on youtube. It's really fun. maybe the best talk show going today.

Hi Josh. We also repeat Chris Farley jokes all the time w/o even knowing, but Dave Chappele takes up most of that remaining 40%. Any other ideas, Josh?
Anita Hava-Shite Chris Farley "jokes"? He wasn't a stand-up comic. He yelled and fell down.
"Holy Schnike!" "mmm, I Likey" "Ugh, I can actually hear you getting fatter" "WHAT'D YOU DO??" It looks......real" "Does this suit make me look fat? No your face does." "That's gonna leave a mark."

Hey, don't make me tell your mommy that you're acting up on the internet again. She may have to give you a panking.
His imitation is hilarious 😂
this is a Chris Farley skit.
that was awesome!
Exactly what I was thinking. One of my favorite SNL skits of all time.
perimeterpost what part of it is a Farley skit?
Ambrosiapples Yup. Back when SNL didn't suck ass
perimeterpost I came looking for this comment! "You remember, do you remember that time you...?"
Jack Black just "couldn't remember the greatest song in the world."
jack black is my hero
no matter how many collaborations JB would do with other musicians, it couldnt ever be enough
Jack Black is so fucking awsome...
both as a person and as a panda
I seriously love jack black! Elton John is a legend too!
Michael is the greatest Shoemaker in the world.
Tremendous, both totally different, but absolute rock stars.
elton john's grandson is michael caine
"nevah"
Not grandson, godson. David Beckham's kids are his godchildren.
Andrew Saturn elton johns grandson is my cocaine
Caine is 14 years older than Elton John
Not a lot of people know that (really, a year and nobody said this?)
Love how Elton suddenly realises he probably has to say something nice about Kung-Fu Panda.
1:36 Elton John's reaction
whoever got Jack Black and Elton John on the show together gets a raise!!! what a neat set up!
I don't think Elton's seen the movie
Well he did say as much as he had only seen the first one!
Adam so the only bit you believed was the bit about the movie? ( the least convincing bit to everyone else ) 😂
I’ve seen it but I don’t remember a thing. Could be the same thing here. And who’s to say this clip is the whole story he told?
Oh I LOVE Jack Black. Funny, nice man. Great writer and singer, too.
Director "right Jack we've got a personal trainer to get you slim fit and a six pack" Jack Black "where's the catering van".
Imagine having Elton john as an uncle...how awesome it must be!
I love re-discovering Elton's songs! ❤️
Jack Black is effortlessly HILARIOUS! Jack can't stop himself...Lovable guy. And, then there's the INCREDIBLE Elton John.
When Elton said cocks is one of my favorite words...hahaha Love Jack Black too. Great clip.

Elson is everything
+Public Image Haha Yes, Elson! Just noticed XD
"Cooks is one of my favorite words" says Elton. I think its one of his favorite pass times as well
I'm the same way when I describe songs to people it's just outlandish noise. But hey, they usually know what I'm talking about! Not alone..
I always liked Elton John. He seems like a down to earth sort of guy.
TAKE ME TO THE PILOT...
School of Rock still one of my FAVORITE Jack Black movies.... !!
Yes! Jack Black has long hair again and facial hair!
Nimtolien Lairion beards FTW!
I love jack black it's sad to see him aging 😢 we need more classics with him as the lead role
I sat beside Jack Black on the top of a mountain at a lumberjack show...I cannot make this up people
I mean... you can make it up. Pretty easily in fact. Like we have no way of verifying this it’s pretty easy for you to lie about something like this.
CrazyBlonde13 u don't have much of an imagination if u can't even make up that lmao
it's interesting to hear singers talk it gives you more insight into how they accomplished it
Yeah I don't think he saw the movie
The Elton suit is just 🔥🔥🎵🎶💎💎💘💞💫🌟💥👑
