Arnold Schwarzenegger said when his grandchildren come over, they line up to get the same oatmeal cookies he feeds his animals on Wednesday's episode of “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” on NBC.
“When Katherine comes over with my grandchildren, they line up. So I give Lulu a cookie, then I give Dutch a cookie. I give the schnitzel a cookie. “I give the pig a cookie and the two girls there like it as much as the animals,” said Arnold, 76, with his mouth wide open.
Arnold told Jimmy that it was great to be a grandfather to the two children of his daughter Katherine Schwarzenegger, 34, and her husband Chris Pratt, 44.
“I have two grandchildren, Lyla and Eloise, and it’s amazing,” Arnold said.
'What do they call you?' Jimmy asked.

“Grandpa,” Arnold said. “It’s a German word for grandpa.” So Katherine and Chris [Pratt], her husband, they come to our house at least once a week. And then I play with the animals. We're having a good time. I placed her on the back of the miniature donkey. And then you wanted to ride the pig. I said “No, you don’t ride pigs.”
“How many animals do you have?” said Jimmy.
“I have three dogs, Cherry, I call her Noodle, she's the little one.” “She's 15 years old,” Arnold said. “Then I have Dutch, which is Malamute.” Then I have Schnitzel, a wonderful, big, huge monster dog. Then I have the miniature horses, the miniature pony, Lulu and Whiskey, a miniature pony. It's just fantastic, these animals and the pig, this is a new edition. We've had the pig for almost a year now and it's really fun. And he loves to eat.'
Arnold said it took a while for all of his animals to get along.
“They all come into the kitchen and I feed them oatmeal cookies every morning,” Arnold said.
Arnold said the oatmeal cookies were made for the horses, but the dogs and pig love them too.
“The pig loves everything,” Arnold said.
Jimmy said he should write a children's book about it and then pulled out Arnold's new book, Be Useful.
The 76-year-old action star was on the NBC talk show to promote his upcoming Super Bowl commercial for State Farm

“It's basically the things I wanted to share with people about how to be more successful and happier with your life,” Arnold said. “How to achieve your goals.” Because there are so many people who need help.'
Arnold said he also created the pumping app because he wanted to provide a “positive corner” where people can learn to help themselves.
He said that a million people had now signed up and that the aim was to help people be happier and more successful.
Jimmy also asked about his big new action movie Agent State Farm and how Jason Momoa, 44, took to social media to congratulate Arnold for beating him out for the role.
“I’m sure the move will be great,” Jason said. “Brother, it would be an honor to come to the premiere one day, because we have never met.”
Jimmy said it was great for Jason to turn to Arnold after losing out to him for the role.
“To be honest, I have to say I didn’t hit him. In my opinion, I want him to be a part of this great action movie because he is the biggest action star today,” Arnold said. “I’ve never met him before, but I’m really looking forward to working with him.”
Jimmy asked if it was a commercial or actually a movie.
“To be honest, I have to say I didn’t hit him. In my opinion, I want him to be a part of this great action movie because he is the biggest action star today,” Arnold said. “I’ve never met him before, but I’m really looking forward to working with him.”
“It’s a monster movie,” Arnold said.
“Jake from State Farm is in the movie too?” said Jimmy.
Arnold said Jake from State Farm was one of the reasons he wanted to do the film.
“Jake is a great actor and really fantastic,” Arnold said.
Arnold said he helped Jake get in shape for the film. Jimmy then played a clip from the movie that only showed Arnold with an explosion behind him.
“That was probably the fastest clip we've shown in the history of The Tonight Show. Why is it so short?” Jimmy asked.
“Because we didn’t want to tell you the whole story,” Arnold said.
Arnold said the “movie” is only 60 seconds long and will be released on February 11 “before the second quarter.”
“This feels like a big Super Bowl commercial,” Jimmy said.
Jimmy also played a fun puppy trivia game with Arnold.

Arnold played against Jake from State Farm.
Jimmy held a golden retriever puppy and said whoever asked the question correctly would get the puppy.
Arnold and Jake sat in armchairs with their puppies.
The actor and former governor of California won and all four puppies sat on his lap and licked his face when the game was over.
