By the end of the segment, Jimmy noted that it was an «important day» for Joseph.
Joseph began by praising his wife and said he had a special greeting for her. «Today is actually my wife’s birthday, and I’m so sad because she’s not here with me in New York. I’m here working, and she’s at home, and I feel so bad», - he said. «So I messaged Jimmy and asked, 'Can I give her a special gift on the show?'»
Jimmy then presented Joseph with an acoustic guitar, and a microphone stand was brought out, and he gave a brief introduction and dedication to the love of his life. «This is a singer-songwriter song that she really, really loves, that all of you might know», - he said. «Sweetheart, you are the brightest soul I’ve ever met, and I’m so grateful that you were born. I love you».
Joseph then performed a very faithful cover version of the song «Lover», - but he changed the opening line to reflect his wife’s summer birthday. «We could leave the Christmas lights up 'til July», - he sang.
Before the cover version, Jimmy praised Joseph’s musical abilities. He began the interview by recalling the funny musical jokes they had made on the show over the years, including lip sync battles and barbershop quartets. «You're one of my favorite actors, but you’re very musically talented», - he said.
Jimmy also asked Joseph about his practice of preparing for roles, which includes creating playlists for each character he plays. The actor admitted that he has been doing this since «music was on phones», - but explained how he believes it helps. «If you’re trying to be evil or be in love, it can really help if you listen to a little evil music before shooting or listen to romantic music before shooting», - he said
