enough to say like, "what if i say, 'i have the moves like jagger.'" [ laughter ] >> jimmy: yeah. >> they're like, "are you sure you want to do that?" i'm like, "yeah, why not?"

over the world, you know, your most hardcore fans in every place you're playing are, you know, they're saving their money, they're marking the date on the calendar. it's you, you, you. it's all about maroon 5. and then when you go to vegas, they're kind of like choosing you over another person. [ light laughter ] >> jimmy: they're just like, "we happened to be in vegas. what do we do?" >> it's like, "maroon 5 are like this -- let's go with maroon 5." so it's like a casual, more casual. they may know the songs, but they've never maybe ever been to a show. and so, it's a new type of crowd to conquer. and so i think that was a nice challenge. but then once we did it, and we actually got there, and put the show on, i was blown away. first of all, by the response. but also just, it felt great. it was fun to do. it was really different for the band. and i think that kind of injected new life into the way we perform and stuff. so, it's great. you guys should come see us.

[ cheers and applause ] it's a bona fide hit. it is a hit, congrats. it is based on the video game, "fallout." and it doesn't look like anything on tv. it is fantastic, by the way. i was like, "what's cgi and what is real?" >> that is not cgi. can you believe it? >> jimmy: no, where are you? what is this? >> well, i'm in -- this is in namibia, in the skeleton coast, which somehow -- somehow looks like california. who would've thought that namibia would look just like california? >> jimmy: namibia? and what is -- but even that's -- that's real? >> yeah, so this is this, like, abandoned shipwreck. and -- is that me? oh, it's very tiny. >> jimmy: yeah. [ light laughter ] that was me, i visited you on set that day. i'm like, "hi!" >> didn't notice. >> jimmy: yeah, no problem. >> no, this was hilar -- this was hilarious because, you know, so these footprints, we have to get the shot in one, the first time, right? like, the drone is trying to get this high and wide shot. and i'm walking up. i'm leaving the vault that i've lived in my whole life, underground, for the first

time, seeing the world for the first time. it's a big -- it's a big deal. and i look down right before we shoot. and i'm like, "is that a bone?" and there's all these bones in the ground. this is like, in the middle of nowhere. we took a four-hour helicopter ride to shoot in this location. it's very, very remote. and i look at jon, i'm like, "is that a bone?" and he goes, "action." [ laughter ] and i start walking up to this shipwreck. and he goes, "watch out for the hyenas." and i'm like -- we don't have hyenas in england, okay. >> jimmy: no. [ light laughter ] >> this was my first hyena experience. i didn't -- i didn't run into one, luckily. but it was all touch and go there for a second. >> jimmy: i mean, oh, my gosh. you're like, "all right, did we get the shot? what's happening? am i getting attacked by hyenas?" >> you know, but did we get the shot? that's what's important. >> jimmy: yeah, exactly. and you did get the shot. yeah. one of the most recognizable looks in -- is power armor in this, and man, they knocked it out of the park here by building this thing. how big is this -- is this character, now? >> this is 7'4", this actual, practical, real-life armor that they built. and our stunt performer, adam shippey, wears it.

>> jimmy: there is a person in there. >> there's a per -- and you know, you're sitting there, having your lunch, and he's just walking by, you know? [ laughter ] it's crazy. it never -- it never gets old. and, you know, he's such a a great guy, and he's such a a good sport, and it kind got to the point where they're like, "what can we do with shippey? what can he do? can he run? can he jump? can he dance? can he -- can he do the splits?" >> jimmy: yeah. >> he can do it all. >> jimmy: he can do everything. >> he can do it all. >> jimmy: you brought us a a video. >> i did. >> jimmy: here's adam shippey in power armor, flossing. take a look. [ light laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: yeah. he can do everything. >> oh, god. he's gonna kill me for sending that in. >> jimmy: you were telling me backstage that you -- you broke a lot of things on set. >> i do, yeah. thanks for bringing that up. >> jimmy: sorry about that. but no, well, you were telling me that -- i think it's a funny story. >> no, i did. >> jimmy: because i thought it was just gonna be one thing, but you kept breaking multiple things. >> i did. well, i really -- i wanted to wear the power armor, 'cause it's the coolest thing in the entire world. they would only let me wear the heads. >> jimmy: well, it's bigger than your whole body, that's probably why. [ laughter ] oh, my gosh. >> it's true.

it's true, but no, i do. they didn't let me because i have a habit of breaking things. they nicknamed me "ella the destroyer" 'cause i broke so many things. [ light laughter ] >> jimmy: like -- but tell everyone. what -- >> well, okay, so there's these pip-boys, right? it's like, the big thing in the games. >> jimmy: yes. >> and it's kind of iconic. it's like, a rally big honor to be wearing one. and i broke four of them. and it was -- >> jimmy: it's on your -- this thing on your -- on your wrist. >> yeah, and they're made from iphones. it's an iphone that's sideways and held together by this kind of, like, magnetic contraption. and i talk with my hands, in case you didn't notice. and so, i would be very passionate, and it would just kinda go flying across the room. [ light laughter ] and you'd just hear, "cut!" >> jimmy: and they'd have to go, "hey, these iphones are expensive, so, uh, you know, can you -- we're in namibia, yeah, it's tough to get an iphone, yeah." >> so, it's a good thing they didn't let me wear the power armor, i think, in the end. >> jimmy: yeah. you also said to me backstage -- i go, "do you remember auditioning for this?" and you go, "yeah, i do. it was okay." and i go, "have you had bad auditions?" like, what -- i think if i just -- >> yes, i -- no, my auditions are always terrible. i kind of feel like it's like bad rehearsal, good wedding. every time i walk out an audition, i think, "i nailed that," i never get the part.

it's only when i ruin auditions and they're terrible that i somehow get the part. >> jimmy: well, give me an example of a bad one. >> when i did my "sweetbitter," my first audition -- >> jimmy: yeah. >> this is such a bad story, this is so embarrassing. i did my audition for "sweetbitter," and, you know, it's a screentest. they fly out five girls and you're in new york, i was 21, i was an idiot, i didn't know anything. and you're all sitting in a a waiting room, you know, sizing each other up. it's really scary. >> jimmy: i know. >> and you go in, and there's like 25 starz executives in the room and i'm just sitting in the center. and i do the worst audition. i forgot my lines, i was wearing the wrong top, it was just -- it was a nightmare. and i tried to leave, and it was -- no one told me it was a a push door. so, i pulled it. [ laughter ] but i pulled the handle off. and we were locked inside this room. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: no! >> for like 45 minutes. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: after the bad audition? >> yes! >> jimmy: you're now locked in the room with all these executives. >> i know, and i was just doing stand-up, i was telling jokes, it was terrible. i was like, "how do i play this off?" >> jimmy: but you got the part. >> somehow i got -- i don't know how. somehow i got the part. >> jimmy: because you're charming, and you're really, really awesome. you're really good, that's why. >> thank you.

[ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: that's why you got the part. you're super talented. "fallout," what can we tell everybody? what character do you play, and who do you play? >> oh, you know, i'll tell you, when i did my first meeting, they described her as "ned flanders in the apocalypse." [ laughter ] and i was like, "i've never seen that show." >> jimmy: okay, perfect. >> it's funny, it's political. it is based on a videogame, but i don't think you need to know the games or have played the games to -- to like the show. sort of nuclear apocalypse, but funny? i don't know how to explain it. >> jimmy: yes, that's a good way to say it. >> right? >> jimmy: it's a nuclear apocalypse, but funny. >> it's barbenheimer the tv show, basically. >> jimmy: no, yeah, yeah. it's fantastic. everyone should check it out. i want to show a clip. here's ella purnell in "fallout." take a look. >> but the mission of the vaults should be important to everyone. >> and why is that? >> well, uh -- well, you see, the idea is, um, that we're going to save america.

>> ah! and when exactly were you planning on savin' america? the vaults were nothing more than a hole in the ground for rich folks to hide in, while the rest of the world burned. >> jimmy: whoo!
