Episode Transcript
Direct from Hollywood. Well, Spike Lee's new movie Highest two
Lois sees a Sap rocky play Denzel Washington's son, and
while Spike was inspired to cast a Sap in part

time Oscar nominee and two time winner, while Asap is
a relative newcomer to acting. But Spike assured Jimmy fallon

Spike Lee on Highest to Lowest, which is now in theater,
that's direct from Hollywood,
