Can we order a miniseries that is just Jason Bateman & Rob Lowe playing The Jason Bateman Game? They both have amazing Hollywood tales & are hilarious storytellers. It could easily last 4/5/6 hours, but I think I, like Jimmy, would enjoy every moment.
Jason has been doing a podcast called ‘Smartless’ for a couple years, with his friends Sean Hayes, & Will Arnett. It gained so much support, that SiriusXM offered them a deal to bring it to satellite radio. They have great guests every week.
if u want to know how big this guy's heart is just listen to his podcast, SMARTLESS! those guys are all super funny together, but also amazingly kind, always giving everyone so much praise, etc
Their friendship is admirable and enviable. Men reach an age where attrition beats addition on the friend roster, especially if you have careers that keep you on the move and spouses.
Watched little house on the prarie this morning, jason and shannon doherty were on the episode. Actually a few episodes. Pretty cool watching kid actors grown up today. Of course rip Shannon
I love how vulnerable Jason Bateman is all of the time. He has paid dues he never needed to pay in Hollywood and it’s so nice to see him being himself. I am very happy for these guys just being guys. Congrats on winning life ❤
Just watched that Carson Show - Amazing that Jimmy Kimmel asked JB the same questions, about gifts to girls, well wife now, as Johnny did 40 years ago. When JB was 15.
It's all rehearsed beforehand. Producers dig this stuff up and restructure it . This happens for nervous or reluctant guests. It's all showbiz and very little of it is undirected or a pre conception worked out. So yeah your not imagining it.
Jason Bateman is hilarious. Such a rich history In Hollywood. I just love his stories. Movie was great by the way. And he looked good in the baseball hat,I was loving the long locks! 😊
Jimmy why oh why do you not have Rob Lowe and Jason on at the same time and do a fake game show with them telling the best story about a celebrity meeting? They both play the game very well. :-)
I really got to love Jason with his podcast, best podcast ever, you really get to see beyond the romcom and sitcom guy. I lucky got to listen to the podcast first THEN I discovered OZARK. so great. watching it Ayer really warming to him on the podcast and realising his humour.
"Just finished watching Carry On on Netflix, and I have to say, Jason Bateman’s character pissed me off so much that it felt way too real. Coming from my time in the Marines, especially during the Marawi Siege, I’ve encountered people like that in high-stakes situations-selfish, reckless, and completely unaware of how their actions endanger everyone else. If I were the airport security in that scenario, I wouldn’t just handle it by the book. I’d make sure someone like him never gets a chance to put others in danger again. Watching his antics reminded me of the people we had to deal with back then, and it just fueled my resolve. Sometimes movies hit a nerve because they mirror things you’ve experienced firsthand. For those of us who’ve been in life-or-death situations, this kind of behavior isn’t just frustrating-it’s infuriating. Just my two cents!"
I adore Jason Bateman and have for decades. Funny, handsome and seems like an all-around great guy. Love these stories he told.
💯💯🔥
And a great actor, versatile too.

Jason’s a funny storyteller. I love listening to J&J having a yabber.

Both of them are aging like a fine wine!!!
THEY ARE GORGEOUS!!
I had the absolute worst day. Jason Bateman on Jimmy Kimmel is just what I needed. Thank God for the Bateman Game. I feel I can keep going now.

I especially like when really good friends do an interview together.
Jason Bateman is a joy to watch.
Always thought Jason was very underrated as an actor. Brings an easy, authentic quality to every role I've seen him in
Ozark proved he's the best
Love Jason Bateman!
Jimmy is exactly what America needs in these times…..keep up the great work! We need it more than ever!
I 2nd this! 👍
BEST TRUMP ANTIDOTE EVER!❤
He has trump derangement syndrome lol trump lives in Jimmy's head rent free old jimmy kimmel was better unfortunately he's a hypocrite
Agreed. He's filling the role excellently.
Have no idea what times you're referring to

Jason Bateman, helping to bring down Scientology. I love it. ❤
I watched Carry On, it was honestly pretty good. Jason played the bad guy so well.
Is it a drama?
Jason Bateman is one of the special child actors who grew up to be a phenomenal actor and an amazing human being. The world needs more of him!
Ozark was 🔥 🔥🔥
Yes….And I still watch it
Never gets old! 🖤🖤🖤
Great episode Kimmy, Jason knows everyone 😅🎉❤
Just watched that Carson Show - Amazing that Jimmy Kimmel asked JB the same questions, about gifts to girls, well wife now, as Johnny did 40 years ago. When JB was 15.

Jason Bateman makes everything he's in so much better. He's that good. His latest offering a point in case.
Jason Bateman seems ageless. He's been in the business for decades, and he still looks so young. He is funny, smart, and interesting.
Thank you Jimmy 👍🏼♥️🙏🏼✝️
Didnt know much abt jason bateman but was magnetized here. He is just so super cool

That’s a cool friendship right there 🙌🏻

Jason Bateman is hilarious. Such a rich history In Hollywood. I just love his stories. Movie was great by the way. And he looked good in the baseball hat,I was loving the long locks! 😊

just finished watching the movie omg jason bateman is back and sharp as always
I am ignorant and instantly thought they were speaking of a show called "Carrion." haha
I have always loved JB. He is hilarious and beautiful.
His new movie ‘Carry On’ was very good.
Carry-On is the new Die Hard Christmas movie. Good for you JB, well done… stay excellent
Love Jason! Smartless is my fav pod
Aging like fine wine 🍷
I wanna know the inside joke about David Hasselhoff that they’re laughing about lolll
❤Jason however it was honestly hard to see him play a very mean man in Carry On, played just a little too well 😮
Goes to the top of my "the have dinner with" list
Love Jason Bateman! I’ll watch anything he’s in. Even though not everything is good that he’s in. lol but true.
Cherish funny people with the gift of laughter! Learn from it! :) Try not to lose it as you get older! LOL!
Jason and Jimmy are so baked lmao
The Jason Bateman version of 6 Degrees of Separation!
Crush never ends
