LIKE I LIKE TO IMMERSE MYSELF
IN THE STORY, TO REALLY BECOME
A PART OF THE WORLD WITHIN
WHICH THE NARRATIVE TAKES
PLACE.
BUT SAY, I'M WATCHING SOMETHING
WITH MY WIFE RIGHT
NEVER FAILS.
SHE'LL SUSPECT WHAT'S ABOUT TO
HAPPEN AND YELL IT OUT TO ME IN
THE FORM OF A QUESTION
"HE'S NOT GONNA GO INTO THAT
ABANDONED BUILDING ALONE WHERE
IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO HIM,
IT'D BE DAYS BEFORE SOMEBODY
FOUND HIM BABE, IS HE?
AND I'M LIKE, "I DON'T KNOW

SOMETIMES IT TAKES A COMPLETE
TURN FOR THE WORST BECAUSE SHE
ONLY WATCHES THE BACKGROUND.
I MEAN, SINCE THAT WHOLE
STARBUCKS CUP ON "GAME OF

OBSESSED
"I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY WOULDN'T
NOTICE -- I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY

AND SHE SAYS, "I CAN'T HELP BUT
NOTICE ALL THE NOOKS AND

AND THEN, I CAN'T FOCUS ON THE
SHOW AT ALL BECAUSE I START
THINKING, "WHY DON'T YOU EVER
HEAR ABOUT CRANNIES WITHOUT THE
NOOKS?

IT'S LIKE CRANNIES NEED NOOKS
FOR VALIDATION
NOOKS DON'T NEED CRANNIES.
THEY GO OFF AND DO THEIR OWN
THING SOMETIMES.
YOU SEE BREAKFAST NOOKS.
READING NOOKS.
NOOK THIS, NOOK THAT

YOU NEVER HERE ABOUT A
A BREAKFAST CRANNIE.
I MEAN, NOOKS AND CRANNIES AS
A TEAM, THEY ARE SORT OF LOW
KEY THOUGH USUALLY
I MEAN, YOU HEAR BOUT THEM IN
REFERENCE TO ENGLISH MUFFINS

BUT THEN I START TO THINK ABOUT
ALL THE OTHER SEEMINGLY
INSEPARABLE DUOS WITH ONE HALF
WHO'S GONE ROGUE
I MEAN LOOK AT TO AND FRO.
FRO AIN'T [ BLEEP ] WITHOUT HIS
BOY TOO.

CARA-MEL-ED -- CAR-MEL-ED
APPLES
CAR-MEL APP --

WHEN YOU SAY IT.
CAR-MEL APPLES AND STUFF LIKE
THAT
YEAH
ALL RIGHT, FOR THIS NEXT ONE,
REMEMBER THERE ARE FOUR TO
CHOOSE FROM.
BEST "TOY STORY?
I KNOW THE ANSWER.
>> OH, I LIKE "TOY STORY 3."
>> Jimmy: THAT IS CORRECT.
THAT IS THE RIGHT ANSWER
>> IS IT
>> Jimmy: YEAH, IT'S DEFINITELY
"3."
"3" SHOULD HAVE WON FOR BEST
PICTURE, ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES
I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY ENTIRE
LIFETIME
>> YEAH, I AGREE
>> Jimmy: DOES CILANTRO TASTE
LIKE SOAP?
>> NO.
>> Jimmy: YEAH, I AGREE.
>> OH.
>> Jimmy: AND FINALLY, ONE OF
THE MOST DEBATED QUESTIONS
EVER
WERE ROSS AND RACHEL ON
A BREAK?

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU

STAR AND EXECUTIVE PRODUCER OF
THE SHOW "GROWN-ISH," WHICH

THIS THURSDAY AT 8:00 P.M. ON
FREEFORM AND WILL BE AVAILABLE
ON HULU THE NEXT DAY
HERE IS YARA SHAHIDI
OH, HI
YARA, GREAT TO SEE YOU
>> HELLO, HELLO.
SO GOOD TO SEE YOU
>> Jimmy: YOU LOOK FANTASTIC
THANK YOU FOR COMING BACK TO
THE SHOW
I FOLLOW YOU ON TWITTER, AND
LAST MONTH EVERYONE WAS POSTING
THEIR SPOTIFY RAP RESULTS, LIKE
WHAT SONG THEY LISTENED TO THE
MOST
BUT YOU POSTED SOMETHING A
A LITTLE DIFFERENT I THOUGHT
WAS VERY COOL.
YOU PUT, "SORRY IF YOU COULDN'T
REACH ME, I WAS LISTENING TO
101,070 MINUTES OF RADIO ON NPR
ONE APP.
THAT'S -
[ LAUGHTER ]
I ADDED IT UP.
THAT'S OVER 70 FULL DAYS OF
LISTENING.
>> YES, AND THE BEST THING IS
IT LITERALLY DOESN'T SCRATCH
THE SURFACE OF HOW MANY
PODCASTS AND RADIO SHOWS I
LISTEN TO.
BECAUSE THAT'S ONE APP
AND I STILL HAVE THE PODCAST
APP THAT I THINK I LISTEN TO
EVERY EVENING.
>> Jimmy: OH, MY GOODNESS, THAT
IS -
WHAT IS IT -- WHAT DO YOU GO
THROUGH?
WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO?
>> I'M REALLY AN NPR FAN
LIKE, I'M NOT, THIS IS NOT PAID
PROMOTION, BUT WHEN I TELL YOU
THE NPR ONE APP IS PROBABLY MY
FAVORITE APP BECAUSE YOU HAVE,
LIKE, YOUR LOCAL NEWS STATION.
BUT THEN THEY CYCLE THROUGH
PODCASTS OF, LIKE,
INVESTIGATIVE RESEARCH AND ALL
SORTS OF THINGS.
AND SO, LIKE, I MEAN, FOR
A MINUTE IT WAS FUNNY BECAUSE
MY LOCAL NEWS STATION WAS STUCK
IN IDAHO
AND SO I LEARNED EVERYTHING
THAT WAS HAPPENING IN IDAHO AT
THE TIME
I GUESS I HAVE TO SAY IT'S
REALLY AN IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE
>> Jimmy: YEAH, THAT IS KIND OF
INTERESTING, I LIKE THAT -
I LISTEN TO A COUPLE OF
PODCASTS ON THE NPR.
I MEAN, "HOW I BUILT THIS.
>> MM-HM
>> Jimmy: TERRY GROSS.
>> YEAH.
>> Jimmy: OH, WHAT'S THE GAME
SHOW
"WAIT WAIT DON'T TELL ME."
>> "WAIT WAIT DON'T TELL ME.
YEAH
>> Jimmy: THAT'S THE JAM
THAT IS MY -- I LOVE THAT.
YOU KNOW WHAT, I GOT TO CHECK
OUT HOW MANY MINUTES I'M
LISTENING TO THAT.
>> AND IF YOU EVER NEED
RECOMMENDATIONS I'VE
EXPERIENCED THE ENTIRE CATALOG
>> Jimmy: I LOVE THAT, BUT I
ALSO KNOW YOU'RE A BIG MUSIC
FAN.
THAT YOU'RE BUILDING YOUR VINYL
COLLECTION
HOW'S THE VINYL?
HOW'S THAT GOING
>> IT'S BEEN WONDERFUL BECAUSE
I'M AROUND EITHER MUSICIANS OR
MUSICALLY-INSPIRED PEOPLE ALL
THE TIME
SO I GET SOME GREAT ADDITIONS
TO THE COLLECTION.
I'M TRYING TO THINK OF WHEN I
STARTED IT
IT'S PROBABLY BEEN FOUR-ISH
YEARS.
>> Jimmy: YEAH
>> AND SO FAR SO GOOD.
>> Jimmy: YEAH, YOU KNOW WHAT'S
INTERESTING IS, I RECENTLY GOT
BACK INTO VINYL, SAME THING,
PROBABLY FOUR, FIVE YEARS.
I GREW UP WITH IT, BUT THEN IT
WENT AWAY, TECHNOLOGY, BUT THEN
IT GOT BACK IN, AND EVERYONE'S
LIKE, "OH, HERE'S 100 OF MY
FAVORITE ALBUMS.
AND I GO, "DON'T GIVE ME 100
JUST GIVE ME ONE."
>> YEAH.
>> Jimmy: WHAT'S ON YOUR
TURNTABLE THESE DAYS
ANYTHING THAT STICKS OUT THAT
YOU REMEMBER
>> OOH, I HAVE A COUPLE.
SO I FEEL LIKE I SOMEHOW FIND
A WAY TO MENTION FRANK OCEAN'S
"BLONDE" EVERY TIME I'M ON THE
SHOW, AND SO I MUST MENTION IT
AGAIN.
>> Jimmy: IT'S PHENOMENAL.
GOOD, I LOVE THAT.
>> YEAH, AND THEN I'M TRYING TO
THINK.
I MEAN, SOME CLASSICS ARE JUST
LIKE THE STEVIE WONDER
COMPILATION.
A LOT OF BOB MARLEY,
"BABYLON BY BUS.
WHICH IS SOMETHING STRAIGHT
FROM MY PARENTS.
AND THEN, OF COURSE, IT ALWAYS
DOESN'T HURT TO HAVE A COUSIN
THAT'S A MUSICIAN SO I HAVE
"ILLMATIC" IN MY COLLECTION.
>> Jimmy: I JUST GOT THAT.
I JUST GOT THAT ON 180 GRAM.
>> OH, IT WAS MY FIRST VINYL
HE WAS THE FIRST CONTRIBUTOR TO
MY COLLECTION.
>> Jimmy: OH, MY GOSH.
HOW COOL IS THAT
OF ALL COOLNESS.
AND WHAT'S THE BOB MARLEY ONE?
BUS ON -
BABYLON --
>> "BABYLON BY BUS."
>> Jimmy: OH, I LOVE IT.
>> I MEAN, EVEN FOR MY BIRTHDAY
RECENTLY, MY FRIENDS MADE ME A
A VINYL WITH ALL THE SONGS THAT
REPRESENT KIND OF OUR
FRIENDSHIP
IT'S THE COOLEST THING
IT'S A PICTURE OF ME EDITED
ONTO AN ALBUM COVER.
>> Jimmy: WAIT, I DID THAT FOR
MY WIFE FOR HER BIRTHDAY
>> BOTH YOU AND MY FRIENDS ARE
TWINNING, THEN
>> Jimmy: I GOT TO TALK TO YOUR
FRIEND, THAT'S UNBELIEVABLE.
WE GOT TO GET IT -
MAYBE WE'LL GET INTO, LIKE, THE
GIFT-GIVING BUSINESS
I MADE A FULL BOX SET WITH
DIFFERENT PHOTOS -
>> THAT IS SO COOL
>> Jimmy: DIFFERENT PHOTOS OF
MY WIFE THROUGHOUT THE YEARS
AND STUFF.
YEAH
I ALSO WANT TO CONGRATULATE
YOU.
YOU LAUNCHED A PRODUCTION
COMPANY WITH YOUR MOM.
PLEASE, TELL HER HI FOR ME
BECAUSE SHE'S BEEN ON OUR SHOW
WHAT KIND OF PROJECTS ARE YOU
HOPING TO MAKE WITH THIS
>> YEAH, WELL, ME AND MY MOMMA,
KERI, WE TOGETHER OPENED
PROBABLY ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO
AND WE'D ALREADY BEEN IN
PRODUCTION BEFOREHAND.
BUT IT'S BEEN REALLY WONDERFUL
TO BE IN THE ABC ECOSYSTEM, AND
ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS WE JUST
ANNOUNCED LAST WEEK IS A SHOW
CALLED "SMOAKLAND," WHICH WE'RE
SO EXCITED ABOUT
WE'RE SETTING IT UP WITH OUR
FREEFORM FAMILY.
IT'S EXACTLY WHAT IT SOUNDS
LIKE
THINK, WEED IN OAKLAND AND AN
INCREDIBLE ENTREPRENEUR IN THE
MIDDLE OF IT, AND IT CAME FROM
THE BRAIN OF WRITER
JEWEL McPHERSON.
AND IT'S BEEN SO WONDERFUL
BECAUSE I THINK THROUGH
PRODUCTION WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO
REALLY HONOR ALL OF OUR
SENSIBILITIES IN TV, AND I
THINK PEOPLE HAVE KNOWN ME AS
ZOE JOHNSON FOR, WHAT, GOING ON
EIGHT YEARS.
>> Jimmy: YEAH
>> AND SO TO BE ABLE TO REALLY
EXPERIMENT AND PLAY AND BE A
A COLLABORATOR TO SO MANY
INCREDIBLE WRITERS HAS BEEN
SUCH A TREAT
>> Jimmy: ON TOP OF THAT, I
WANT TO SAY, YARA, YOU KNOW I'M
A BIG FAN OF YOURS, BUT YOU'VE
BEEN A HUGE ADVOCATE FOR
GETTING PEOPLE TO VOTE, AND WE
JUST SAW A HISTORIC VOTER
TURNOUT IN NOVEMBER.
TOMORROW IS INAUGURATION DAY,
AND THIS IS ACTUALLY THE FIRST
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION THAT YOU
WERE ABLE TO VOTE IN
HOW DOES THAT FEEL
>> I MEAN, IT -- IT'S
INTERESTING.
I THINK I FEEL THE SAME LEVEL
OF BOTH EXCITEMENT AND
TREPIDATION AS EVERYONE ELSE
DOES, ESPECIALLY AFTER
WITNESSING THE EVENTS AT THE
CAPITOL.
AND I FEEL LIKE WHAT WAS MOST
SADDENING WAS THAT IT WAS
UNSURPRISING
IT WAS WHAT I EXPECTED
IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE ELECTION,
IN ALL HONESTY
AND SO WHAT I'VE BEEN TRYING TO
KIND OF REALLY THINK INSTEAD IN
IS THE FACT THAT WE HAD EPIC
YOUTH VOTER TURNOUT, AND
GRASSROOTS ORGANIZERS ENSURED
THAT SO MANY COMMUNITIES THAT
OFTEN GO OVERLOOKED WERE
CENTRAL VOICES IN THIS
ELECTION
AND SO THOSE ARE WINS THAT WE
HAVE TO HOLD ONTO.
BIG SHOUTOUT TO STACEY ABRAMS
FOR SINGLEHANDEDLY HELPING US
SAVE THIS ELECTION
AND THEN I ALSO HAVE TO SAY
INAUGURATION DAY IS A TIME TO
REJUVENATE, CELEBRATE BUT ALSO
NO TIME TO SLEEP BECAUSE WE
KNOW THERE'S SO MUCH MORE WORK
TO BE DONE
>> Jimmy: YEAH, GOOD
I WANT TO TALK ABOUT
"GROWN-ISH."
SEASON THREE RETURNS THIS WEEK
>> YES
>> Jimmy: YOU STAR IN IT
EXECUTIVE PRODUCE IT
IT LEFT OFF WITH ZOE MAKING
A BIG DECISION TO LEAVE
COLLEGE.
WHAT HAPPENS NOW
>> I MEAN, WHAT'S WONDERFUL IS
LIKE WHEN WE FIRST STARTED
"GROWN-ISH," THE REASON WHY WE
DIDN'T GO WITH THE MUCH
CLUNKIER NAME "COLLEG-ISH" WAS
BECAUSE WE KNEW THAT ULTIMATELY
IT WAS ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE OF
GROWING UP MORE THAN BEING AT
SCHOOL
SO I THINK FINALLY ZOE DROPPING
OUT IS US BEING ABLE TO REALLY
EXPLORE ALL OF THE PATHS THAT
YOUNG PEOPLE TAKE.
AND, YOU KNOW, AS AN E.P. ON
THE SHOW, THIS SEASON IS REALLY
EXCITING FOR TWO REASONS
ONE, BECAUSE I THINK SINCE
SEASON ONE I WAS LIKE, "I HAVE
AMAZING CASTMATES.
LET'S GET TO KNOW THEIR
CHARACTERS."
AND THIS IS A SEASON WHERE WE
GET TO DIVE, LIKE, HEAD FIRST
INTO EVERYONE'S DIFFERENT STORY
LINES.
AND I ALSO THINK THIS IS THE
SEASON WHERE ZOE, LIKE, PUTS
THE "GROWN" IN "GROWN-ISH.
IN MANY WAYS, HER LIFE
PARALLELS MINE FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THESE EPISODES
BECAUSE WHILE SHE WAS FLYING
BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN HER JOB
AS A FULL-TIME STYLIST, I WAS
FLYING IN BETWEEN SCHOOL AND
WORK EVERY WEEK.
>> Jimmy: I LOVE THAT.
I LOVE THAT NOW YOU HAVE A
A FULL-ON, OPEN WORLD.
WHO KNOWS WHERE YOU'RE GOING TO
EXPLORE NEXT
>> MM-HM
>> Jimmy: I WANT TO SHOW
EVERYONE A CLIP.
HERE IS YARA SHAHIDI IN
"GROWN-ISH."
TAKE A LOOK.
>> WARDROBE!
ANYONE FROM WARDROBE
>> WARDROBE, THAT'S ME
♪
IS EVERYTHING OKAY
>> NO.
IT'S HOT AS FISH GREASE OUT
HERE AND NOTHING ABOUT THIS
FABRIC IS BREATHABLE
>> WELL, I ACTUALLY HAVE YOUR
SECOND CHOICE OPTIONS ON STAND
BY
YOU KNOW, I'M SURE WE CAN
FIGURE SOMETHING OUT IF YOU
GIVE ME, LIKE, 15 MINUTES.
>> 12?
>> 10!
WHY'D I DO THAT?
>> I'M NOT REALLY FEELING THIS
OUTFIT ANYMORE
I JUST REALIZED THAT ALL THE
OTHER DANCERS HAVE THE SAME
LOOK
I NEED TO STAND OUT.

REALLY DON'T HAVE ANYTHING
ELSE, OTHER THAN SWIMSUITS
>> YES, YOU DO
