Jim Carreycan’t be contained.
“How we’re going to make it through this interview, I don’t know,” joked Strahan, 48.
Just as the talk show appearance got back on track — the subject switching to Carrey playing video games with his 9-year-oldgrandson— a technical difficulty forced a mid-interview microphone switch for the comedian. But he had an off-the-cuff backup plan.
“I’ll just talk like this,” said Carrey, as he leaned in to Strahan’s lapel mic, with the host quickly rolling a clip from the film so they could reign in the interview.
The topic of conversation then transitioned to world domination, naturally, since Carrey plays a mustache-twirling (literally) supervillain inSonic.

What would the star himself do if he were to take over the world? “Are you saying I haven’t?” joked Carrey. “How do you know, I’m omnipresent. I’m all that is or ever was.”
By the end of the appearance, Strahan was ready for any further playful antics the actor could bring his way.
“You’re fun, man,” he said. “I could do this all day long. … This is like getting a private show.”
