Samuel L. Jackson Breaks Down Marvel’s Nick Fury | Ext. Interview | DESUS & MERO

Desus and Mero kick it with the legendary BMF himself, Samuel L. Jackson, to discuss theater, his iconic roles, the hard work it took to make it, dealing with family members suffering from Alzheimer's and how that inspired his work in "The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey," his Capital One commercials, working with Quentin Tarantino, Spike Lee, Richard Roundtree, and Jeffrey Wright, and yes--he says the phrase we're all waiting for.

You guys have spoken to so many legendary people, I dare to say that you guys are legendary.

[@ArashiKageTaro]

No need to dare. They literally are LEGENDARY!!! We can all say it with pride. I mean even Letterman co-signed them and said they are the future of late night!

Though folks don't talk about it, I was a big fan of Samuel L. Jackson during his Spike Lee Joint years. He always played powerful parts in those films of the late 80s and early 90s.

During his spike lee joint years? Nobody says spike lee joint years... i know the movies were subtitled "a spike lee joint" but you're not using it correctly

[@kevthepoet]

@@sanderssmith822 Spike Lee Joint days. Yeah, yeah we do now lol

[@shanafehr]

But many people do talk about it. I don't believe anyone who is a fan of SLJ doesn't associate him to those years. Hell, respect was earned during those years.. It's simply inevitable to know that and speak on that.

why would they talk about when you were a big fan of Samuel L jackson?

[@MousyBScrappin]

Absolute classic. Timothy was one of the best villain/thugs in cinematic history. It was a lowkey role but the actor killed it.

For Samuel Jackson, I go back to his small role on “Ghost Writer” which was on PBS back in the early 90’s!!!

thank you both & all of the staff that put this show together. I just really had an true awakening moment. I've never heard anyone explain/ share a personal account of how alzheimer can playout. I believe now that I may be currently & in the past dealing with said subject. Thank You

[@BlancoDasMe]

Damn Sammy Jack in the building! I’ve never heard someone say they don’t like him or his work. The man is a living legend.

[@NegoClau]

You folks and Sean from Hot Ones are the future of talk shows. You need to come back to each other's shows. Both Sean and you two are completely different people than back then. The comeback show could be as amazing as the Hot Ones featuring you guys was. You don't need a live audience to do the interviews, because your chemistry between yourselves and the one with the guests are amazing and carry out the entire show. But you guys deserve a huge ass live audience for whatever you do, outside or including this.

[@rodboermusmc]

I am forty five years old. This man has been there for as long as I can remember. I love movies, but I always seemed to love the movies Sam Jackson was in more. When Pulp fiction was coming out, I was 17 or 18, and it was "the new Sam Jackson movie" to me. I was exited for it and had no idea it would become the powerhouse that it is today. I hope he outlives us all. I don't know that I want to live in a world where I don't get to see any more new SLJ movies.

[@shanafehr]

...going through Alzheimers with my aunt and apparently seeing that my mother is going that road too is devastating. Is like an everyday heartbreak, every single day you feel inexplicable pain because, they're either gone already or starting. It is not something you speak about openly either, not because of shame or stigma but because only doctors and people in the family, who live the everyday with you understand it. Is a lot like suffering in silence. Add that to the fear of saying "it runs in the family" (some or any form of dementia), is also a hard pill to swallow. To publicly discuss the effects of Alzheimers on those around who suffer from it, is as important. The emotional toll is circular :/

[@KayN806]

Love how attentive Desus and Mero are throughout this interview. Sam demands your attention.

[@moon.mp3201]

That whole Alzheimer’s discussion almost made me tear up, man.

[@chitownbear7733]

That’s because Sam is probably the realest actor that’s big time…the man literally talked about how he used to cook his own crack on major programs and the reality of his whole life as easy as today’s weather

Fun fact, the role of Jules was written for Lawrence Fishburne.

[@letsgetchino6669]

Really??🤔🤔

[@neighborhoodka]

Cap

[@jasonnn2284]

The first Google result ---- "Laurence Fishburne has said that he turned down "Pulp Fiction" because he thought Quentin Tarantino's 1994 movie glamorized heroin. Tarantino originally wrote the role of Jules Winnfield, which eventually went to Samuel L. Jackson, for Fishburne." I had no idea. Although, I could picture him doing a lot of those lines. Especially quoting the bible at the apartment.

But hadn't Lawrence fisheburne already done Kings of New York by this time? He was a henchman in that movie

I feel some level of pride for Samuel Jackson even though I have nothing to do with his journey. He’s just really amazing.

[@AMPFIELDVISION]

My grandfather had dementia, WW II survivor & purple heart recepient, got plenty of medals, met the president etc. He didn't have a grenade directly in his space or else he'd have died but he caught ricochet of a grenade blast and so suffered injury and had vicious nightmares, uncontrollable nightmares of death and blood and despair of his fellow comrades holding on for dear life as they slowly stopped breathing and he watched. I say that to say, he suffered from dimentia and I saw the last stages where he'd have flickers of light here and there with me.
