MASKS, BY THE WAY.

BUT THE MATCHING MASKS
EVERYBODY WAS LIKE, OH, THAT'S
SO CUTE.
>> THAT WAS ME
I HAVE A FASHION LINE BASED IN
NEW YORK
AND IT JUST FELT LIKE -- YOU
KNOW, IT WAS WEIRD BECAUSE THERE
IS SO MUCH MILITARY THERE AND IT
WAS NOT, YOU KNOW, THE GROUNDS
FILLED WITH AS MANY PEOPLE SO IT
WAS SUCH AMOUNT OF PEOPLE ABLE
TO BE THERE.
IT JUST FELT LIKE ANY
OPPORTUNITY YOU COULD TO MAKE
SURE OTHER PEOPLE WERE THERE
WITH YOU
I WANTED TO BRING WEST AFRICA
WITH ME AND ALL OF MY FOLKS
BECAUSE THIS IS SOMETHING THE
WHOLE WORLD WAS EXCITED ABOUT.
>> Jimmy: WHAT WAS IT LIKE BEING
THERE?
>> IT WAS SO STUNNING.
IT WAS HERSTORY INFOLDING BEFORE
US
LATER IN THAT DAY TO HAVE THE
SWEARING IN OF SENATOR OSSOFF
AND WARNOCK.
THERE WAS SO MANY FIRSTS THAT
DAY.
IT WAS SO PROFOUND AND THE

IT WENT FROM GRAY, GLOOMY CLOUDS
TO JUST BRIGHT BLUE SKIES AND
SUNSHINE AND WARMTH.
IT WAS BEAUTIFUL.
>> Jimmy: I WANT TO ASK YOU A
QUESTION BECAUSE IN A WEIRD WAY,
IT'S FITTING THAT YOU AND
SENATOR BOOKER WERE THERE
TOGETHER BECAUSE YOU CREDIT
PRESIDENT BIDEN AS BEING A WING

AS COLLEAGUES.
EVEN IF YOU ARE GOING IN AND
YOU'RE PUSHING YOUR VALUES ON
THAT GREAT STAGE TO SAY, YOU
KNOW, WHERE YOU SEE THE
DIRECTION OF LEADERSHIP AND
VISION OF THIS COUNTRY SHOULD
BE, BUT THAT'S STILL HAVING THAT
RESPECT AT THE HEART OF IT, I
THINK IT JUST WAS REALLY, REALLY
BEAUTIFUL AND SAID A LOT ABOUT
COREY AND ABOUT HIM.
>> Jimmy: WE USUALLY ASK PEOPLE
WHAT IT'S LIKE TO WORK WITH
REALLY FAMOUS COSTARS.
AND YOU JUST WORKED WITH

YOU BOTH FOLLOW A VEGAN DIET
IF ROSARIO EVER HAD A CHEAT
MEAL, WHAT WOULD IT BE
>> WE HAVE A BIG FIGHT OVER THIS
BECAUSE SHE'S FROM NEW YORK.
I'M FROM NEW JERSEY.
JERSEY OBVIOUSLY HAS THE BEST
PIZZA.
NEW YORK THE SECOND BEST PIZZA
IN AMERICA
I'M GOING TO HAVE TO ENTER IN
THIS DEBATE PUBLICALLY WITH HER,
BUT I'M GOING TO SAY PIZZA.
>> Jimmy: OH, MY GOSH.

HERE WE GO.
>> AM I GOOD TO COME BACK.
>> Jimmy: YOU TWO RECENTLY MOVED
IN TOGETHER, WHAT'S COREY'S
WEIRDEST HABITS AT HOME.
>> A BIG ISSUE COME UP RECENTLY
IN THE RELATIONSHIP BECAUSE I
NOW MOST MORNING TAKE CONTRAST
SHOWERS WHERE YOU STAND UNDER
ICE COLD WATER, BUT IT HAS A LOT
OF WEALTH BENEFITS.
>> Jimmy: THAT'S A MATCH
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT SHE SAID
YOU GUYS ARE CRUSHING IT
YOU'RE TWO FOR TWO HERE.
COREY, PLEASE PUT THE HEADPHONES
ON AGAIN
ROSARIO, WHAT WAS COREY'S
SMOOTHEST MOVE WHEN YOU WERE
FIRST DATING
>> I DON'T KNOW THAT I WOULD
CALL COREY SMOOTH, PER SE.
THAT'S NOT WHY WE'RE TOGETHER.
I FIND HIM VERY PUNNY AND CLEVER
AND PASSIONATE AND WONDERFUL
HE ALL FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR WHEN
HE WAS CAMPAIGNING AND I WAS
TAKING CARE OF MY DAD AND WE
WERE APART A LOT, HE WOULD MAKE
ME UP EVERY DAY WITH A SONG.
HE WOULD SEND ME THIS SONG
WE HAVE A PLAY LIST.
IT'S ALMOST 200 SONGS, BUT IT
WOULD INITIATE CONVERSATION
EVERY MORNING AND TALK ABOUT THE
SONG, WHAT IT MEANT TO EITHER TO
US
THEN WE HAVE A LOVE PLAY LIST.
>> Jimmy: OH, MY GOSH.
EVERYONE IS FREAKING OUT RIGHT
NOW GOING, WHAT, HONEY
WHY DON'T WE HAVE A LOVE PLAY
LIST
THIS IS AMAZING.
I WANT TO SEE HIS REACTION
THE QUESTION IS WHAT WAS COREY'S
SMOOTHEST MOVE WHEN YOU GUYS
WERE DATING, WHEN YOU WERE FIRST
DATING
>> THAT IS AN AWFUL QUESTION
I'M SORRY.
BECAUSE I'M NOT THE SMOOTHEST --
I'M NOT THE SMOOTHEST.
SO I DON'T KNOW IF SHE -- SHE
PROBABLY SAID I'M NOT SMOOTH,
BUT I WILL TELL YOU I THINK I'D
BE SAYING THAT I'M SWEET AT
LEAST.
>> Jimmy: NOW YOU ARE IN BIG
DOUBLE BECAUSE SHE SAID HE'S NOT
SMOOTH, WHICH IS WHAT YOU SAID
SO YOU GET POINTS FOR THAT.
>> OKAY.
>> Jimmy: WHICH IS UNBELIEVABLE.
YOU GUYS ARE PERFECT TOGETHER.
>> WHAT DID SHE SAY, THOUGH?
SHE HAD TO HAVE SAID SOMETHING
I'M CURIOUS.
