>> James: BILLY PORTER AND ANDIE MACDOWELL, THOSE ARE TWO
THAT I WOULD WATCH ON A ROAD TRIP.
>> ROBBIN BANKS?
>> James: ROBBING BANKS ACROSS THE COUNTRY?
>> IS THERE SOMEONE CALLED ROBBIN BANKS?
>> James: IT'S INCONCEIVABLE THERE IS NOT SOMEONE CALLED
ROBBIN BANKS?
CAN WE PUT UP A PHOTO OF ROBBIN BANKS?
IS IT OK TO SHOW PHOTOS OF PEOPLE?
>> PROBABLY NOT BUT WE'RE GOING TO FIND ONE.
>> James: LOOK AT THAT ARE THEY ALL CALLED ROBBIN BANKS?
THERE WE GO.
CAN WE ZOOM IN ON THAT GUY?
THERE WE GO.
HERE HE COMES.
THERE YOU GO!
THERE HE IS!
THERE'S ROBBIN BANKS, EVERYBODY!
[APPLAUSE] I MEAN, I WOULD LOVE IT SO MUCH
IF HE HAPPENS TO BE WATCHING THE SHOW TONIGHT!
COULD YOU IMAGINE HOW MUCH THAT WOULD FREAK YOU OUT IF YOU WERE
ON YOUR COUCH AND SUDDENLY YOUR PICTURE ZOOMS TOWARDS YOU ON THE
TV.
BE LIKE, WHOA!
[LAUGHTER] BOLD MOVE OF WHOEVER THE PARENTS
ARE IF YOUR SECOND NAME IS BANKS.
>> I GUESS IT COULD BE ASPIRATIONAL, YOU KNOW WHAT I
MEAN?
IF LIKE -- IF LIKE YOU GREW UP ROBBING CONVENIENCE STORES AND
LIQUOR STORES AND YOU'RE LIKE, I WANT BETTER FOR MY KID!

YEAH.
THEY'RE DOING IT.
>> James: STILL OUT THERE DOING IT?
>> STILL OUT THERE DOING IT.
IT'S POPULAR.
>> James: I DON'T KNOW IF I COULD ROB A BANK THESE DAYS.
THERE WAS A TIME IN MY LIFE WHERE I WOULD ROB A BANK.
>> IT WOULD BE SILLY FOR YOU AT THIS POINT IN YOUR LIFE TO ROB A
BANK.
>> James: STAY CALM.
STAY CALM OR NOTHING HAS TO HAPPEN HERE.
I WANT THE BILLS FROM THE BOTTOM, NOTHING FROM THE TOP,
JUST PUT THEM IN THE BAG.
PUT THEM IN THE BAG.
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
JEANNINE?
PLEASE DON'T WORRY.
MY NAME?
ROBBIN BANKS.
THANKS FOR BEING HERE, GANG.
IT'S THAT TIME, IT'S TIME FOR THE NEWS.
>> Reggie: THE NEWS!
>> James: THIS MORNING, IT WAS ANNOUNCED EVEN MORE CLASSIFIED
DOCUMENTS HAVE BEEN FOUND, THIS TIME IT WAS AT THE INDIANA HOME
OF FORMER VICE PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE!
NOW I'M STARTING TO WONDER IF I HAVE CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS IN MY
HOUSE.
WHAT IS HAPPENING?
IS EVERYONE JUST HANDED A BOX WHEN THEY LEAVE THE WHITE HOUSE?
LIKE, "THANKS FOR COMING, HERE'S SOME STATE SECRETS!"
AT THIS POINT, I JUST ASSUME THAT EVERY POLITICIAN HAS
TOP SECRET DOCUMENTS AT THEIR HOUSE -- EXCEPT FOR BERNIE
SANDERS, WHO LEFT HIS AT THE PARK WHILE HE WAS FEEDING
PIGEONS.
[LAUGHTER] AND, ACCORDING TO A NEW POLL,
THE MAJORITY OF DEMOCRATS WANT JOE BIDEN TO BE THE 2024
PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE.
58% NOW SAY BIDEN SHOULD RUN AGAIN.
IT MAKES SENSE.
NOW THAT BIDEN HAS SO MANY SCANDALS, HE SUDDENLY SEEMS
PRESIDENTIAL.
IT'S EITHER BIDEN, OR THAT OTHER PROMINENT DEMOCRAT...
UH, YOU KNOW...
YOU KNOW, THE ONE THAT WE ALL -- IT'LL BE JOE BIDEN OR THE
PROMINENT DEMOCRAT THAT WE -- I DON'T -- YOU KNOW, THE ONE WE
ALL THING DEFINITELY COULD LEAD THE COUNTRY.
WE KNOW THEIR NAME.
NO POINT IN SAYING IT.
WE ALL KNOW WHO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT NOW!
BUT IT'S NOT GOOD NEWS FOR THE PRESIDENT.
IN THE SAME POLL, DONALD TRUMP HOLDS A THREE-POINT LEAD OVER
BIDEN IN THE 2024 REMATCH!
NOW, TO BE FAIR, TRUMP VOTED NINE TIMES!
[LAUGHTER] PUT IT COULD BE TRUMP AND BIDEN
AGAIN.
I GET IT.
THE LAST ELECTION WAS SO MUCH FUN FOR EVERYONE, WHO WOULDN'T
WANT TO RECAPTURE THAT GLORY?
FRTRUMP AND BIDEN AGAIN.
HOW WOULD YOU FEEL ABOUT IT?
>> HOW WOULD I FEEL ABOUT TRUMP AND BIDEN AGAIN?
>> James: YEAH.
>> TERRIBLE.
>> James: IF YOU COULD CHOOSE WHO IS THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES, WHO WOULD IT BE?
>> GUY FERRARI?
>> James: FOR REAL, THOUGH?
FOR REAL?
>> YEAH.
YEAH.
>> James: THERE'S A MAN IN THE BACK THERE WHO WAS SO PASSIONATE
ABOUT THAT, HE CLAPPED IN A WAY THAT SAID, "FINALLY SOMEONE SAID
IT!" >> YEAH.
>> James: HE WENT -- LOOK AT HIM UP THERE.
YOU CAN SEE HIM.
LOOK.
WHY ARE YOU SO BIG ON GUY FERRARI!
>> HE'S THE MAYOR OF FLAVORTOWN.
HE COULD RUN THE COUNTRY.
THAT'S WHAT I SAY.
COME ON, GUY.
COME ON, GUY COME ON, GUY!
>> James: HE'S THE MAYOR OF FLAVORTOWN, HE COULD DEFINITELY
RUN THE COUNTRY.
>> HE HAS POLITICAL EXPERIENCE, YEAH.
ABSOLUTELY.
>> James: HE'S A FULLY-PLEDGED MAN.
>> THE RIGHT LOVES HIM.
THE LEFT LOVES HIM.
HE INVENTED DONKEY SAUCE.
THAT'S THE KIND OF BIG THINKING I WANT IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
>> James: CRAZY THING IS NOW YOU'VE ACTUALLY CONVINCED ME
THAT MIGHT BE TRUE.
[LAUGHTER] >> YEAH.&
>> James: YOU'VE ACTUALLY CONVINCED ME THAT MAYBE THAT'S A
GOOD ALTERNATIVE!
WHAT ABOUT YOU, CECE?
THE NEXT PRESIDENT, WHO IS IT?
>> OPRAH.
>> James: OPRAH.
[APPLAUSE] SHE MUST HAVE BEEN ASKED
COUNTLESS TIMES, SURELY.
DON'T YOU THINK, NICK?
WOULD SHE HAVE BEEN ASKED?
>> MANY A TIMES.
GUY FERRARI HAS NEVER BEEN ASKED AND HE PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE BEEN
ASKED.
>> James: YOU DON'T KNOW THAT YOU DON'T [BLEEP] KNOW THAT!
YOU DON'T KNOW THAT, NICK!
I THINK GUY FERRARI MIGHT HAVE BEEN ASKED.
>> THINK GUY'S MY GUY IS A GREAT SLOGAN.
>> James: GUY'S MY GUY!
OH MY GOD!
>> COME ON!
TODAY WE'RE CRUISING ON DOWN TO 1,600 PENNSYLVANIA BOULEVARD!
[LAUGHTER] [APPLAUSE]
>> James: AND, THE ACADEMY AWARD NOMINATIONS WERE ANNOUNCED
THIS MORNING.
WITH HIS NOMINATION FOR "THE FABLEMANS," STEVEN SPIELBERG
EXTENDED HIS RECORD AS THE ONLY PERSON NOMINATED FOR
BEST DIRECTOR IN SIX DIFFERENT DECADES.
YEAH.
SIX DIFFERENT DECADES.
BUT WHAT HAS HE DONE BESIDES THAT?
THIS IS A BIG MOVIE FOR HIM.
IN FACT, SPIELBERG IS ALREADY SPINNING THE FILM OFF INTO ITS
OWN FRANCHISE.
LOOK FOR THIS IN THEATERS THIS SUMMER:
"TWO FAST, TWO FABLEMANS."
AND, "TOP GUN: MAVERICK" WAS NOMINATED FOR BEST PICTURE.
AS A PRODUCER, IF THE MOVIE WINS, IT WOULD BE TOM CRUISE'S
FIRST-EVER ACADEMY AWARD.
IF "TOP GUN: MAVERICK" WINS, IT WILL ALSO BE THE FIRST MOVIE TO
WIN BEST PICTURE IN TEN YEARS THAT ANYBODY HAS ACTUALLY SEEN.
[LAUGHTER] I HOPE TOM WINS THE OSCAR, I DO.
I DO.
I WANT HIM TO WIN IT SO MUCH.
AND HE SHOULD ACCEPT IT BY SKYDIVING FROM 30,000 FEET ONTO
THE STAGE.
I KNOW THERE'S A ROOF, BUT HE'LL FIND A WAY.
[LAUGHTER] THE MOVIES WITH THE MOST
NOMINATIONS THIS YEAR ARE "EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT
ONCE," "THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN," "CONVERSATIONS WITH
- - VESTIBULE AND ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT.
ALL OF THOSE AREN'T REAL.
YOU DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE I MADE UP!
IN OTHER NEWS, A THREE-YEAR-OLD HAS JUST BECOME THE U.K.'S
YOUNGEST MEMBER OF THE HIGH-I.Q.
SOCIETY, MENSA.
TEDDY HOBBS HAS AN I.Q. OF 139.
THE U.K.'S YOUNGEST MEMBER OF MENSA.
I KNEW I COULDN'T HOLD THE TITLE FOREVER.
[LAUGHTER] TEDDY CAN COUNT TO 100 IN FOUR
LANGUAGES, AND TAUGHT HIMSELF TO READ WHEN HE WAS TWO YEARS OLD.
NOT ONLY THAT, HE'S ALSO THE FIRST THREE-YEAR-OLD EVER
KNOWN TO USE THE PHRASE, "UM, ACTUALLY..."
[APPLAUSE] AND HIS MUM AND DAD HAVE ALSO
SET A RECORD FOR MOST INSUFFERABLY PROUD PARENTS.
"OH, JEREMY KNOWS HIS COLORS?
TEDDY JUST BROKERED PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST."
[LAUGHTER] WHO ON THE SHOW DO YOU THINK HAS
THE HIGHEST I.Q.?
REG, WHO ON THE SHOW HAS THE HIGHEST I.Q.?
>> I.Q.'S ARE HARD TO MEASURE.
YOU'RE SAYING WHO IS EMPLOYED HERE ON THE SHOW?
>> James: YEAH.
>> OK, I THINK THERE'S A SLEEPER SOMEWHERE.
I THINK I'M NOT THINKING OF -- I'M GOING TO SAY, IS IT -- DOES
IT START WITH A "K?" >> James: NO.
NO.
IT'S NOT A TEST.
[LAUGHTER] NO.
IT'S NOT -- IT'S NOT -- THERE'S NO -- WE HAVEN'T TESTED EVER
EVERYONE.
I'M SAYING OFF THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD, WHO DO YOU THINK IT MIGHT
BE?
THERE'S NO RIGHT OR WRONG HERE.
IT'S NOT -- OK?
YEAH.
NO, DRINK IT IN, REG.
DRINK THE WHOLE THING IN.
UM.
WHAT -- NOPE, THEY DON'T WORK HERE SO -- WHAT DO YOU THINK?
>> I HAVE A FEELING IT'S SOMEONE IN A BACK ROOM SOMEWHERE.
>> James: OK.
>> THAT I'VE NEVER MET.
THAT'S THE THING, BUT YOU'RE SAYING WHO I KNOW HERE?
>> James: YEAH, I MEAN, I REGRET --
[LAUGHTER] >> BECAUSE IT COULD BE SO MANY
PEOPLE.
>> James: IT COULD, REG.
THAT'S THE POINT OF IT.
YES.
>> MAYBE, WHO'S THE ENGLISH GUY YOU GET IN ARGUMENTS WITH A LOT?
>> James: LOUIE?
>> YEAH.
>> James: LOUIE?
>> YEAH.
>> James: THE ENGLISH GUY?
I REFUSE TO EVEN OPEN THE DOOR TO THE IDEA -- I REFUSE TO EVEN
PEEK AROUND THE CURTAIN TO THE IDEA THAT LOUIE MIGHT HAVE THE
HIGHEST -- LOOK AT HIM!
I MEAN.
LOOK.
HE HEARD HIS NAME MENTIONED.
HE WENT FROM -- HE WAS SO ZONED OUT DURING THIS MONOLOGUE, HE'S
LIKE THIS AND THEN HE HEARD HIS NAME AND THE WORD I.Q. AND HE'S
LIKE...
[APPLAUSE] [LAUGHTER]
HAVE YOU GOT A HIGH I.Q.?
DO YOU KNOW HOW HIGH YOUR I.Q.
IS?
>> THAT'S THE BIG ONE.
>> James: GO ON.
WHAT'S THE NUMBER?
>> IT'S A BIG ONE.
>> James: OK.
HOW HIGH IS IT?
>> IT'S JUST RIGHT UP THERE.
>> James: WHAT DO YOU THINK?
WHO DO YOU THINK?
HIGHEST I.Q. ON THE TEAM ON THE SHOW?
>> DON'T ASK ME.
I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU.
IT'S NOT IMPORTANT BUT I'M STUCK ON THE PREVIOUS -- WHAT IS A
DONKEY SAUCE?
>> DONKEY SAUCE?
[LAUGHTER] >> WHAT IS A DONKEY SAUCE?
[LAUGHTER] SAUCE FROM A DONKEY?
>> James: THIS IS LIKE THREE STORIES AGO?
THE ENTIRE TIME -- WE'VE GONE THROUGH SO MANY -- WE'VE DONE
THE ENTIRE ACADEMY AWARDS AND YOU'RE, LIKE, "WHAT IS A DONKEY
SAUCE?" [LAUGHTER]
>> SO, IT'S A MAYONNAISE-BASED SAUCE.
IT HAS WORCHESTER SAUCE ON THER- >> WHAT DO YOU USE IT FOR?
>> THROW IT ON ANYTHING.
>> James: IT'S NOT FOR EATING DONKEYS.
>> WHY DONKEY SNAPS.
>> -- SAUCE?
>> IT'S GOT A KICK.
>> IT'S THE HORSE RADISH.
>> WHAT ABOUT BEN?
>> James: WINSTON?
NAT!
>> HE'S GOT GOOD INSTINCTS.
>> James: NAH!
BEN'S VERY MUCH IN THE SORT OF DO IT WRONG, DO IT STRONG
CATEGORY.
>> I SEE.
YEP.
>> James: DO YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
IF BEN GOES OUT ON A LIMB AND SAYS THAT THIS IS ASH WOOD AND
SOMEBODY SAYS, NO, NO, IT'S NOT.
THIS IS OAK.
HE'D GO, UH-UH.
IT'S ASH.
I KNOW IT WAS.
AND THERE'S NO -- YOU CAN'T -- IT'S -- HE'D TIE YOU UP IN
KNOTS.
DO YOU HAVE A HIGH I.Q., BEN?
>> IT IS ASH WOOD!
>> James: HA-HA!
AND FINALLY, ACCORDING TO A NEW SURVEY, 57% OF AMERICAN WORKERS
SAID THEY WOULD LIE IN A JOB INTERVIEW.
DO YOU THINK ANYONE HERE HAS LIED ON THE RESUME, IAN?
I'M SORRY -- DR. KARMEL.
[LAUGHTER] THEY FOUND THAT PEOPLE IN
MANUFACTURING LIE TO THEIR EMPLOYERS THE MOST, FOLLOWED BY
THOSE IN HEALTHCARE.
JUST SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT, NEXT TIME YOU'RE CHECKING INTO
THE HOSPITAL FOR SURGERY.
57% OF PEOPLE SAID THEY WOULD TELL A LIE TO GET A JOB.
AND ONE GUY SAID HE'D LIE ABOUT ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING TO BECOME
A CONGRESSMAN.
AND THAT'S THE NEWS!
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH MORE "LATE LATE SHOW!"
>> James: WELCOME BACK.
BILLY PORTER IS ON THE SHOW TONIGHT.
BESIDES BEING A DEAR FRIEND, BILLY IS AN ABSOLUTE LEGEND ON
THE DANCE FLOOR.
WHETHER PERFORMING ON STAGE OR STRIKING A POSE, BILLY NEVER
FAILS TO BRING THE HEAT.
SO, I THOUGHT IT'D BE FUN TO POP IN ON L.A.'S HOTTEST NEW WORKOUT
CLASS AND LEARN A FEW MOVES.
THIS IS "TODDLEROGRAPHY."
[APPLAUSE] >> LOOK, REAL QUICK, I KNOW THAT
YOU KNOW YOUR WAY AROUND A DANCE NUMBER BUT I GOT TO WARN YOU,
THIS CLASS IS BRUTAL!
>> THAT'S CUTE, JAMES.
I THINK I'LL BE FINE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> James: NO, NO, IT'S NOT YOU.
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
IT'S NOT YOU.
IT'S THE INSTRUCTORS.
THEY'RE FIERCE.
THEY'RE RUTHLESS!
>> WELL, GREAT.
THAT MAKES TWO OF US.
>> James: I'M SERIOUS.
OH, AND WHATEVER YOU DO?
DON'T LOOK THEM IN THE EYE.
>> FOR REAL?
>> James: FOR REAL?
>> WHO EVEN ARE THESE INSTRUCTORS ANY WAY?
[APPLAUSE] >> COME ON, HARRY, WE WANT TO
SAY GOOD NIGHT TO YOU!

I'VE BEEN HERE FOR HALF A MONTH AND I STILL HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO

>> James: WHERE IS YOUR STAR?
>> IT'S A BLOCK EAST OF THE PANTAGES THEATER!
BECAUSE SHE'S A THESPIAN.
IT EMBRACES THAT SIDE OF MYSELF.
IT'S MAGICAL.
I'VE ALWAYS HAD HUGE DREAMS.

THAT'S SPECIFICALLY FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE IN THE BUSINESS.
>> James: RAIA IS THE APP.
THEY'RE TELLING YOU TO GET ON RAIA!
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THIS?
ARE YOU RESISTING IT?
>> AT FIRST I WAS RESISTING IT.
THEY DIDN'T LIKE THIS IDEA.
I THOUGHT I WOULD PUT ON IT, DON'T EXPECT MUCH.
I DON'T FEEL LIKE WORKING VERY HARD.
SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

I'M REALLY EXCITED.
IT'S THE ORIGINAL GIFT.
I STARTED SINGING IN CHURCH.
THAT WAS THE THING THAT GOT ME INTO THE BUSINESS.
THAT WAS THE THING THAT GAVE MY VOICE, MY SINGING VOICE WAS THE
THING THAT GAVE ME THE COURAGE TO, YOU KNOW, EXPAND AND DO ALL
THE OTHER THINGS THAT I'M KNOWN FOR NOW AND, YOU KNOW, I'M JUST
REALLY EXCITED.
I'M GOING ON TOUR IN APRIL.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] SO I'M GOING ON, LIKE, A, YOU
KNOW, 30-CITY TOUR ON A BUS AND STUFF.
I'M NERVOUS.
I'M VERY NERVOUS, BUT LOOK FOR BILLY PORTER IN A PERFORMING
ARTS CENTER NEAR YOU!
>> James: OH, I CANNOT WAIT!
[APPLAUSE] NOW, BILLY, LET'S TALK ABOUT "80
FOR BRADY."
IT'S THE MOST INCREDIBLE CAST.
YOU, JANE FONDA, LILY TOMLIN, SALLIE FIELD, RITA MORENO.
TALK TO ME WHAT IT WAS LIKE BEING ON SET?
>> YOU KNOW, I AM A THESPIAN ARTIST, YOU KNOW, STUDIER OF THE
ARTS.
THESE FOUR WOMEN HAVE INSPIRED ME FOR MY ENTIRE LIFE, YOU KNOW?
NOT JUST IN THE WORK THAT THEY'VE DONE BUT ALSO IN HOW
THEY LIVE THEIR LIVES.
THE EXAMPLE OF HOW THEY LIVE THEIR LIVES THROUGH ACTIVISM,
THROUGH PHILANTHROPY, ALL OF THOSE THINGS SO THOSE -- YOU
KNOW, THOSE ARE THINGS THAT I HAVE TRIED TO ASPIRE TO IN MY
LIFE, NEVER ONCE DID I THINK I WOULD BE IN A ROOM WITH ONE OF
THEM LET ALONE FOUR OF THEM AT THE SAME TIME.
AND I JUST SPENT THE WHOLE TIME TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT THE
BACK OF MY HEAD DIDN'T BLOW OFF.
[LAUGHTER] >> James: WELL, THE FILM --
>> James: LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT A CLIP FROM "80 FOR BRADY" WHICH
IS IN THEATERS FEBRUARY 3rd.
>> HANG O LET ME SEE YOUR BADGES.
>> NO, NO, THEY'RE WITH ME.
THESE ARE MY DANCERS.
>> THEY DON'T LOOK LIKE DANCERS.

THESE DANCERS.
>> YOU WANT US TO SHOW YOU?
>> OK!
>> OK.
UM, Y'ALL GOT THIS.
COME ON COME ON.
LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS FOR A SECOND.
OK, UM, SO WHAT ARE SOME DANCE MOVES YOU LADIES KNOW?

ONE, TWO, THREE.
>> James: STICK AROUND, MORE WITH THESE TWO WHEN WE COME
BACK.
>> ALICE, YOU START SCHOOL TOMORROW?
>> UM, ACTUALLY, I'M JUST GOING TO DO THE REST OF THE YEAR
ONLINE.
>> THAT'S A TERRIBLE IDEA.
GO TO SCHOOL AND MEET SOME KIDS YOUR AGE.
>> HONESTLY, I THINK I'M FINE.
>> SUIT YOURSELF BUT THE INTERNET OUT HERE IS SPOTTY AT
BEST.
YOU'LL HAVE TO TREK TO THE LIBRARY.
ON THE BRIGHT SIDE, I HEAR THEY JUST GOT A SET OF THOSE TWILIGHT
BOOKS!
♪ >> James: THAT WAS A CLIP FROM
"THE WAY HOME," WHICH AIRS SUNDAYS AT 9:00 ON THE HALLMARK
CHANNEL.
FOR ANYONE WHO HASN'T CAUGHT IT YET, TELL US WHAT IT'S ABOUT AND
WHO YOU PLAY?
>> I PLAY THE GRANDMOTHER AND IT'S MULTIGENERATIONAL WHICH I
APPRECIATE.
THREE STRONG WOMEN.
ALL THREE OF US ARE VERY STRONG.
WE'VE BEEN THROUGH A LOT OF PAIN IN THE FAMILY.
MY GRANDDAUGHTER IS ABLE TO GO BACK IN TIME THROUGH THE POND
AND SEE WHAT HAPPENED.
IN 1999 THAT ANSWERS SO MANY QUESTIONS FOR HER AS TO WHY HER
MOTHER AND I JUST DON'T GET ALONG.
SO IT'S DIFFERENT FOR HALLMARK.
IT'S DEFINITELY MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY THAT HAVE WATCHED IT HAVE
BEEN VERY SURPRISED BY IT AND THE LAST SCRIPTS, THE LAST TWO
SCRIPTS -- I THINK THE WRITERS DID A GREAT JOB OF KEEPING --

BILLY, I WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THIS, YOUR DIRECTORIAL
DEBUT, "ANYTHING'S POSSIBLE" WAS JUST NOMINATED FOR A G LAAD
AWARD.

ARE YOU GOING FOCUS MORE ON THIS IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS?
>> YOU KNOW, I WALK THROUGH THE DOORS THAT ARE OPEN.
YOU KNOW, I DON'T TRY TO CONTROL ANYTHING.
WHAT I LOVE ABOUT DIRECTING, AND I'VE BEEN DIRECTING IN THE
THEATER FOR ABOUT 20+ YEARS, WHAT I LOVE ABOUT DIRECTING IS
THAT I GET TO BE IN CONTROL OF THE NARRATIVE, THE AUTHENTIC
NARRATIVE.
I DID NOT GROW UP SEEING MANY STORIES ABOUT BLACK QUEER PEO
PEOPLE.
YOU KNOW, NOW I'M IN A POSITION TO USHER THESE STORIES
AUTHENTICALLY INTO THE WORLD AND THAT'S -- IT MAKES ME REALLY,
REALLY HAPPY.

I WOULD LOVE -- [APPLAUSE]
I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING OTHER THAN BEING DIRECTED BY YOU.
