Recounting his trip to Hollywood, Reeves said, “I came to Hollywood when I was 20 years old. I drove my car. Yes, I have lived here since 1985. To which Kimmel quickly interrupted, saying, “And yet, technically, you’re not a US citizen,” prompting Reeves to say, “No man, I’m still Canadian.” To this, Kimmel further said, “You are a Canadian citizen and always will be, but aren’t you interested in being a US citizen? “Yeah, absolutely, yeah, man, why not?” Reeves replied. Kimmel then joked, “Well, why didn’t the president call and say, ‘Hey, we’d love to sign you up?'” “I’ll send him some BRZRKR,” Reeves added, referring to his new comic. Kimmel said as she pulled some papers from his desk, “I have the paperwork here. If you want to fill it, we have it. We even got you a pen. [with an American flag design]. It’s very patriotic.”

You’d be a criminal, you’d be on the run, we should be on the run, Jimmy. That’s a no. Kimmel said, “I know, but I told him that we may have to make some amendments to our Constitution.” The late-night talk show host also shared that he would host a welcoming ceremony on the show once Reeves obtains US citizenship.
