WE'RE ALL EXCITED ABOUT FRIDAY NIGHT. THIS IS LIKE TYSON VERSUS HOLYFIELD BUT WITH GOLF CLUBS. WHAT CAN THE VIEWER EXPECT ON FRIDAY? >> THIS IS, YEAH, THE BIGGEST SPORTING EVENT THIS WEEK BY FAR. EVERYONE'S TALKING ABOUT IT. KIDS, OLD LADIES, EVERYONE. IT IS THE BIGGEST THING THAT'S HAPPENING. WHAT THEY CAN EXPECT IS AN HOUR OF SHENANIGANS AND OKAY GOLF, BUT IT'S ME VERSUS DJ KHALED AND I HAD THIS IDEA, I JUST WANTED TO SEE -- HE LOOKED LIKE SOMEONE THAT WOULD BE FUN TO PLAY GOLF WITH AND SOMEONE I COULD BEAT. >> WELL, YOU DID ISSUE THE CHALLENGE, JIMMY. I'M CURIOUS, DID YOUR MOUTH GET YOU INTO TROUBLE OR YOUR GOLF GAME BACK IT UP HERE? WHAT CAN YOU TELL US? >> I CAN TELL YOU MY MOUTH GOT ME IN TROUBLE. HE REALLY TAKES IT SERIOUSLY. HE'S A MUCH BETTER GOLFER THAN I AM, BUT HE'S A GENTLEMAN AND SUCH A GREAT CHARACTER. OBVIOUSLY, HE'S A GREAT PRODUCER, BUT MAN, HE WAS SO FUNNY. HE WANTED A SPIRITUAL ADVISER TO COME WITH HIM TO THE MATCH. IT'S ONLY FOUR HOLES. THE IDEA IS WE'RE PLAYING FOUR HOLES, ONE MULLIGAN, ONE BREAKFAST BALL, AND IT MOVES FAST. WE HAVE A PGA OFFICIAL TO MAKE SURE WE ABIDE BY THE RULES. IT IS AN ACTUAL MATCH. BUT IT WAS FUN. IT WAS MORE PRESSURE THAN I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE. >> DJ KHALED IS PASSIONATE ABOUT GOLF. WHEN DID YOU FIRST PICK UP CLUBS? WHAT DREW YOU TO THIS GAME TO BEGIN WITH? >> YOU KNOW WHAT, MY GRANDFATHER TAUGHT ME ABOUT THIS GAME WHEN I WAS A KID AND SAID IT WAS A GREAT INVESTMENT TO PLAY GOLF. WE USED TO USE GOLF CLUBS TO HOLD UP OUR TOMATO PLANTS IN OUR GARDEN IN OUR BACKYARD AND I WAS A KID, I GO WHAT ARE THOSE THINGS? YOU DON'T KNOW GOLF. HE PULLED IT OUT OF THE SOIL AND I LEARNED HOW TO PLAY. BUT IN HIGH SCHOOL, I COULDN'T REALLY MAKE ANY OF THE TEAMS. I AUDITIONED FOR -- I TRIED OUT, SORRY, AUDITIONED, I TRIED OUT FOR BASEBALL AND FOOTBALL, I THINK EVEN, AND BASKETBALL, COULDN'T MAKE ANYTHING. AND THEN THE PRINCIPAL ONE DAY AT SCHOOL OVER THE LOUD SPEAKER SAID HEY, IF ANYONE HAS ANY INTEREST IN GOLF, WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOU COME AND SIGN UP FOR THE TEAM OR WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO FORFEIT THE TEAM. I WAS LIKE NOT ONLY AM I SAVING THE GOLF TEAM, BUT I'M FINALLY PLAYING A SPORT IN HIGH SCHOOL. I WAS VERY PROUD OF MYSELF. >> JUST LOOKING AT YOUR SWING THERE. IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A SWING THAT WOULD MAKE IT ON TOUR BUT IT IS A SWING THAT BEAT TIGER WOODS, CORRECT? >> YES. THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT UP. YES. I DID BEAT TIGER WOODS IN A GAME OF GOLF. IT WAS NINTENDO WII GOLF, BUT IT STILL COUNTS. THE WORD GOLF IN THE SAME SENTENCE. YOU KNOW WHAT ACTUALLY, HE -- HE GOT MAD AT ME, I REMEMBER THIS. ATHLETES TAKE IT SERIOUSLY. ANY SPORTING THING OR GAME. I REMEMBER PLAYING TIGER WOODS AND I BEAT HIM IN HIS OWN GAME BECAUSE HE HAD TIGER WOODS WII GOLF AND SAYING TIGER, IF YOU PRESS DOWN AND SHAKE THE CONTROLLER IT GIVES YOU BACK SCHWINN, AND HE SAID, DON'T TELL ME HOW TO PLAY MY GAME. >> YOU ALSO HAD RORY McILROY ON YOUR SHOW. YOU GUYS DID LIKE A CHIP OFF. WHAT DO YOU REMEMBER ABOUT THAT BATTLE? >> THAT WAS GREAT. TIGER WAS MY COACH IN THAT ONE. ACTUALLY WE HAD A CHIP OFF AND THEN WHAT HAPPENED WAS, I COULDN'T FIND -- OR I DIDN'T HAVE A WEDGE OR SOMETHING, WHICH WAS HILARIOUS. I'M PLAYING AGAINST HIM IN THE CHIP OFF AND RORY GAVE ME HIS SAND WEDGE, THE BEAUTIFUL ONE THAT HE USES. THE COPPER ONE. I USED THAT AND THE IDEA WAS CAN WE SHOOT OVER A MANNEQUIN SHOT OF -- IT WAS LIKE A CARDBOARD CUTOUT OF ME AND LAND IT CLOSE TO THE HOLE AND TIGER WENT, AND HE LANDED CLOSE TO THE HOLE AND THEN RORY WENT AND HIT THE BALL THROUGH THE CARDBOARD CUTOUT AND ALMOST INTO THE HOLE WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DO. I DON'T KNOW HOW HE DID IT. >> HE SHOULD HAVE HAD THE CARDBOARD CUTOUT OF RORY. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN SHORTER TO GET OVER WITH THE WEDGE. >> EXACTLY. WE DID ONE BIT WITH TIGER BECAUSE HE'S BEEN A FRIEND OF THE SHOW WHERE HIM AND I ARE IN THE SAND, WE'RE PLAYING, AND I'M IN A SAND TRAP AND I HIT SOMETHING IN THE SAND AND I TELL HIM, I THINK THERE'S A BURIED TREASURE. AND SO WE DIG A HOLE IN THE SAND TRAP AND WE FIND THE BURIED TREASURE AND IT WAS LIKE 20% BED, BATH & BEYOND AND WE RUN AROUND LIKE WE JUST WON A GIANT TOURNAMENT AND HUGGING EACH OTHER RUNNING AROUND. IT WAS RIDICULOUS. HE'S A GOOD SPORT. >> YOU'VE LAD A LOT OF INTERESTING GOLF GUESTS ON THE SHOW. WHO HAVE YOU NOT HAD THAT YOU WANT. >> WHO IS THE WHALE THAT YOU'RE CHASING STILL? >> I MEAN, YOU KNOW, I'M TRYING TO THINK OF WHO WOULD BE FUN TO HAVE ON. I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY, ALL THE LEGENDS ARE GREAT. RICKIE FOLWER I THINK IS FUN. OUR NAMES ARE SIMILAR. JIMMY, RICKIE, I MEAN, IT'S HARD TO BE A 50-YEAR-OLD MAN NAMED JIMMY, BUT I AM. I THINK HE'S COOL AND I WOULD LIKE TO TALK TO HIM. I JUST LIKE TO SEE PEOPLE AND KIND OF GET IN THEIR HEADS AND SEE WHAT GOT THEM INTO THIS GAME AND DO THEY -- DO THEY DO WHAT WE ALL DO? YOU KNOW DO WE KICK OURSELVES AND GO WHY DO I PLAY IN THIS GAME >> I'M NOT GOOD AT THIS. I'M NEVER GOING TO BE A PROFESSIONAL GOLFER. BUT I DO LOVE IT. I LOVE THE IDEA OF IT, I LOVE EVERYTHING AROUND IT. ALL YOU NEED IS ONE GOOD SHOT, AND IT KEEPS YOU COMING BACK. IF YOU WATCH THIS SPECIAL FRIDAY NIGHT, MY FIRST SHOT IS SO EMBARRASSING BUT SO GREAT THAT I CAN'T WAIT FOR EVERYONE TO SEE IT. BECAUSE YOU COME UP, WE'RE PLAYING TAHOE. WE PLAY THE 17th AND 18th HOLE AND THERE'S CROWD OF MAYBE 2,000, 3,000 PEOPLE. AND THEY'RE ALL YELLING AND IT'S HOT OUT. THEN YOU GET UP TO THE TEE BOX AND IT'S QUIET AND I COULD FEEL MY HEARTBEATING AND GO OH, MY GOSH, I FEEL LIKE AN ATHLETE. WHAT AM I DOING HERE? I'M A COMEDIAN, YOU KNOW. I GO OKAY, I'M OVERTHINKING ABOUT MY GRIP AND BACKSWING. AND THEN ONCE YOU DO IT, I GO PULLED WAY TO THE LEFT. IT WAS SO EMBARRASSING. BUT THEN IT HITS A TREE AND LANDS ON THE GREEN AND IT'S UNBELIEVABLE. YOU CAN'T WRITE IT. IT'S UNBELIEVABLE. >> IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL PAR 3 AT EDGE WOAD. HOW ABOUT YOUR FOIL, YOUR AN TAG TAG NIST ON THE GOLF COURSE? HE'S LOUD ON INSTAGRAM WHEN HE'S YELLING STREET DOWN THE MIDDLE. WHAT'S HE LIKE COMPETING AGAINST? >> HE'S SO FUNNY. IT ALL CAME TOGETHER SO QUICKLY AND THAT'S WHY I JUST THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FUN TO DO SOMETHING SILLY AND ALMOST LIKE A WIDE WORLD OF SPORTS THING OR BOB HOPE OR, YOU KNOW, BING CROSBY, GO OUT THERE AND JUST SEE IF IT COULD BE FUNNY AND HAVE A GOOD COUPLE LAUGHS, SO IT'S ONLY FOUR HOLES AND, MAN, HE GOES CRAZY. HE YELLS, HE TALKS CRAP, HE -- THEN HE WANTS A TIME WHERE HE MEDITATES AND THEN HE -- HE GETS A MASSAGE BEFORE THE MATCH AND WANTED THE CAMERAS TO COME INTO HIS ROOM DURING HIS MASSAGE AND HE'S TALKING SMACK TO ME THROUGH THAT, THE HOLE IN THE MASSAGE TABLE WHERE YOUR HEAD IS STICKING THROUGH THE THING AND HE'S -- IT'S THE FUNNIEST THING. HE'S SUCH A GOOD GUY. HE'S A GOOD DAD. HE'S A GOOD -- A GOOD PERSON TO PLAY A ROUND WITH. IT'S DEFINITELY ENTERTAINING. AND OUR GAMES ARE SIMILAR, SO IT'S CLOSE. IT'S A CLOSE MATCH. >> I STILL THINK YOU'RE HOLDING OUT ON US HERE. I HAVE A FEELING THAT DJ ACTUALLY WHOOPED YOU IN THIS MATCH. WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHO WOULD BE THE CANDIDATES FOR YOUR NEXT CHALLENGE MATCH. WE'VE GOT A COUPLE HERE TO SEE IF YOU THINK YOU CAN BEAT THEM. OUR FIRST ONE, JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, WE KNOW YOU PLAYED WITH HIM. YOU HUNG OUT WITH HIM. CAN YOU BEAT HIM? >> ABSOLUTELY NOT. HE IS SO GOOD. HE IS SO GOOD. I'M A GOOD PARTNER FOR HIM BECAUSE WE PLAY SCRAMBLE OR SOMETHING AND THAT'S -- HE SAVINGS ME. BASICALLY HE PLAYS THE MATCH. I DON'T DO ANYTHING. I ENTERTAIN HIM. I PLAY MUSIC IN THE GOLF CART AND MAKE HIM LAUGH. WE GOOF OFF. I MEAN, I WILL SAY, I'VE GOTTEN SOME OF MY BEST ROUNDS OF MY LIFE PLAYING WITH HIM BECAUSE HE'S SO GOOD HE UPS YOUR GAME, YOU KNOW. I HOPE I DON'T BRING HIM DOWN TOO MUCH WHEN I PLAY GOLF WITH HIM. I KEEP HIM ENTERTAINED AND WE LAUGH THE WHOLE TIME. HE'S SO GOOD. AND HE GETS IN THAT ZONE TOO WHERE HE'S LIKE A PERFECTIONIST. THERE'S LIKE -- JUST TALK ABOUT ATHLETES FOR A SECOND, I REMEMBER WE HAD DREW BREEZE ON THE SHOW AND A GAME I WAS THROWING PLATES UP THE AIR AND SEEING IF YOU COULD BREAK IT WITH A FOOTBALL, YOU KNOW, AND IT WAS HIM VERSUS TAILOR LAUTNER A GREAT ACTOR IN THE "TWILIGHT" MOVIES. I THROW THE FIRST PLATE AND TALOR LAUTNER SMASHES WITH A FOOTBALL. THROW IT FOR DREW BREES HE MISSES THE PLATE. 1-0, TAYLOR. I THROW THE SECOND PLATE AND TAYLOR LAUTNER BREAKS THE SECOND PLATE. THE FIRST ONE TO THREE WINS. DREW BREES IS NOT HAVING FUN ANYMORE. RED LASER BEAMS CAME OUT OF HIS EYES HE WAS LIKE HOPPING UP AND DOWN, AND HE WAS LIKE AND BEFORE I EVEN GOT RID OF THE PLATE IT WOULD EXPLODE IN MY HAND HE WAS NOT LETTING THIS ACTOR BEAT HIM AT A THING. I THINK OF THAT ATHLETE MENTALITY. IT WAS ONE OF THE COOLEST, CRAZIEST THINGS I'VE SEEN IN A HUMAN BEING EVER DO. WOW, THESE GUYS ARE REAL ATHLETES. IT'S AMAZING. JUSTIN WOULD CRUSH ME IN A GAME OF GOLF, BUT WE PLAY ALL THE TIME. YOU KNOW THERE'S A FUN KIND OF PAR 3 KIND OF PUBLIC COURSE BY WHERE I LIVE AND ONE AFTERNOON WE WERE WATCHING GOLF CHANNEL AND WE GO, LET'S -- HE GOES LET'S GO PLAY SOMEWHERE. I GO THERE'S A PAR THREE A PUBLIC COURSE RIGHT HERE. LET'S GO. WE LEFT. NINE HOLES. WE FINISHED IN LIKE 30 MINUTES AND CAME BACK AND WATCHED MORE TV. >> FANTASTIC. GREAT STORY. SO YOU CAN'T BEAT JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE. WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER JIMMY IN NIGHTTIME TELEVISION, JIMMY KIMMEL? CAN YOU BEAT JIMMY KIMMEL, JIMMY FALLON? >> I THINK I COULD BEAT JIMMY KIMMEL. I DON'T KNOW IF HE PLAYS GOLF WHICH IS THE ONLY REASON I WOULD CHALLENGE HIM. KNOWING THAT HE DOESN'T PLAY. I MEAN, I DON'T THINK HE DOES PLAY GOLF. BUT HE IS FROM VEGAS. THERE'S A LOT OF GOLF IN VEGAS. I DON'T KNOW IF I WOULD WIN ON THAT ONE. YOU KNOW WHAT, I MIGHT LOSE IN THAT ONE AS WELL. I DON'T KNOW. ALL RIGHT. I'M 0 FOR 2 AND WOULDN'T CHALLENGE EITHER OF THOSE PEOPLE. >> I'M CONFIDENT YOU'LL WIN THE THIRD ONE. >> IS IT A CARTOON? >> ALMOST A CARTOON CHARACTER. SOME PEOPLE WOULD SAY YES. IT'S OUR GOLF CHANNEL ANALYST AND FAVORITE PINT SIZED PROVOCATEUR BRANDEL CHAMBLEE, EVEN I'VE BEATEN THIS GUY. CERTAINLY YOU CAN TAKE DOWN CHAMBLEE. >> I CAN'T. I CAN'T TAKE DOWN -- ARE YOU KIDDING ME? LEDGEND. P I COULDN'T GO NEAR. WHY WOULD I -- THE -- TARNISH HIS REPUTATION, YOU KNOW. YOU KNOW, HURT HIS FEELINGS. YOU KNOW. I FEEL LIKE HE'S A SENSITIVE INDIVIDUAL, AND I WOULDN'T WANT TO DO THAT HA TO HIS EGO. YOU KNOW. ON A PAR 3, YEAH, MAYBE. YOU KNOW, I COULD DO IT. HE'S TOO MUCH OF A LEGEND FOR ME TO GO NEAR. I WOULD STAY FAR, FAR AWAY. YOU HAVE TO GO -- FOR THE NEXT CARDIGAN CLASSIC IF YOU DO IT AGAIN YOU GOT TO GO WAY DOWN THE LIST. I WOULD LIKE TO CHALLENGE SOMEONE WHO HAS NEVER PLAYED
