1:19

let's get things star. They're.

1:54

Just before we went on a are today.

1:57

News broke that O J. Simpson.

2:00

Has passed away at age

2:02

seventy six O J. He

2:04

was battling cancer and his

2:06

past so we didn't want

2:09

to The. Sort. Of not.

2:11

Know cause we just got it.

2:14

So yeah, pass and I. Can

2:16

I say that? You know I just who

2:18

doesn't remember the trial of the century? You

2:20

know I mean it was an eleven month

2:22

long trial suffered from the eye contact and

2:24

the and the bronco. And and I think

2:26

it's one of those questions where were you

2:28

at when O J within that bronco I

2:30

remember I was a Cafe Figaro a with

2:33

on a date with a guy named Paul.

2:36

Yeah, I remember it and I

2:38

also remember feeling a great sense

2:41

of injustice happens. It's one of

2:43

the reasons why I. Became.

2:45

A prosecutor because I remember watching

2:47

Chris Darn! I remember watching Marsha

2:49

Clark. I remember watching the the

2:51

Great late Johnny Cochrane and says

2:53

the Masterful Job and I thought

2:55

everyone did and I ended up

2:57

becoming closer. Kim Goldman on and

2:59

I can tell you that even.

3:01

Out or was killed. That

3:03

has her brother from another rather

3:06

what our brother run was killed

3:08

along with Nicole Simpson and I

3:10

remember how palpable even to this

3:12

day that losses for one am

3:14

ready to depart while he of

3:16

for me the tragedy and was

3:18

the injustice. And. My which part

3:20

which had the criminal trial that the finish

3:22

the he was not found guilty of yes

3:25

I'll I was found liable later Yeah civilly

3:27

my trump is found liable for with. Yeah.

3:32

Everything from. I

3:35

know you go on I will not ruff

3:37

liable for settled. Law.

3:46

A big deal. I think Court T V may

3:48

have sort of come into existence because of it

3:50

will. I couldn't believe when I looked up that

3:52

was Ninety four. I was young, five years old

3:54

and I remember one time my parents your own

3:57

know my parents had it on a wall to

3:59

wall. It really was. It consumes so much of

4:01

our public consciousness. I remember that in Princess Diana's

4:03

death slogans like ingrained in me into me when

4:05

some someone like this passive my really my only

4:08

thought as a hobby give some peace to the

4:10

family of the victims are they did when the

4:12

civil suit after the fact because I agree think

4:14

it was a miscarriage of justice but that doesn't

4:16

make up for it so I hope that it

4:19

helps them to find some peace. Or

4:22

even seen their names matter. How

4:25

Simpson as mean you know the these people

4:27

are are terribly miss my their families and

4:29

and I know I know that's on them

4:32

because. Johnny Cochrane was say on. The

4:35

Go. With. The glove a bit

4:37

of those of us if we must

4:39

acquit. So he wrote poetry. To

4:42

the legal for severe yeah I was

4:44

the first. Also a massive was a

4:46

master. Well.

4:49

We're gonna move onto was going on in. President.

4:52

Biden just got a bump in the

4:54

polls but his former chief of staff

4:56

was overheard additives ads on Tuesday morning.

4:58

Joe Biden is to stop talking about

5:00

bridges and focus more on prices at

5:02

a grocery store for he was later

5:05

voters. Now I'm

5:07

just gonna say if you might

5:09

be talking about the bridge because

5:11

one just fell. Yeah, and it

5:13

will July, not just. A

5:16

tiny little bridge that sell it's it's

5:18

It's a huge matter because it means

5:20

things need to slow so people need

5:22

to be able to go to work.

5:25

Because. They need the bridge to be

5:27

replaced, so that might be why he's

5:29

focus more on this. And I had to say.

5:32

I. Think. Our. Credit is not

5:35

with him from grocery prices are

5:37

mad at at at the grocery

5:39

stores because if all of the

5:41

banks have been all fun and

5:43

why is why you. Have

5:47

a lot of these places like restaurants. Amazing. Up

5:49

for a plan that not restaurants on sort of

5:52

are grossly I make no me either they or

5:54

even though I operate I I you know it's

5:56

terrible because you know he's damned if he does

5:58

he sam's if he doesn't So. It doesn't

6:00

respond immediately to a tragedy. Seven people died

6:02

on that bridge is an important port and

6:05

both of them will get mad and yet

6:07

they're They're furious and they say that he's

6:09

missing. He's hiding in a basement if he

6:11

response to it as he should as the

6:13

Commander in Chief. You

6:16

know his, He should be looking at something

6:18

about what is another one do besides selling

6:20

bibles to get himself. A

6:29

little bit differently and John Stewart actually made

6:31

the point that but even if you support

6:33

Biden, no one should be immune from criticism.

6:36

And there's no bigger cheerleader of Joe Biden

6:38

and Ron Klain of a brilliant strategy And

6:40

I'm elected the first time and people can

6:42

for David Axelrod who has a huge Biden

6:44

supporter. This of what I hear from voters

6:46

because you guys know I want Trump to

6:48

lose. I'm not abiding supporter but what I

6:50

hear when I talk to undecideds as the

6:52

grocery sales are just would hope that we'll

6:54

talk like new people. new sibling. They would

6:57

know it interacts, not hit. Syphilis. He knows.

6:59

There are absolutely things that Biden can do

7:01

to address and grocery prices have jumped twenty

7:03

five percent over for. Here is what kinda

7:05

know this pain a month or like This

7:07

is the reality is the most immediate and

7:09

repetitive thing. You have to buy groceries every

7:11

week. we were back again all our building

7:13

with the question is what what do you

7:15

want him to be can cause he went

7:17

unheeded. He can challenge the major grocery chains

7:19

if he wants to. There are things that

7:21

he could do with that he can allergy

7:23

to. Do you think that the Corzo can

7:25

I were in a free com I were

7:27

a letter. Answer: Get an hour at night Number

7:29

of things that can be done but to just

7:32

say I wash my hands that's not my problem.

7:34

You can have more narrow Sure it is taken

7:36

to court because it's not about are taking them

7:38

for organizing even even on a as campaigning on

7:41

things like that helps because I think it also

7:43

making room for immigration would be helpful here. One

7:45

of the things if you're looking towards the election

7:47

if you wanna grab people in get them voting.

7:50

Immigration is one of the most agreed upon. would

7:52

probably use the abuse problems he. He does.

7:54

He goes and he takes care of what is

7:56

supposed to be taken care of which is the

7:58

bridge and how to open. The older adults. Do

8:01

that. I don't think that for Ron Klain were

8:03

saying he was happy about. I'm going to read

8:05

anything by the infrastructure projects I know and I

8:08

founded by. Don't tell me what's the point. Eight

8:10

years the thank you note people. A business. He

8:12

does stuff. They beat him. He doesn't do status

8:14

listens. He's doing what he's supposed to be. Do

8:16

what he's doing when he spoke with you are

8:19

not what I'm saying. Stop what? Other Americans a

8:21

widening eleven percent of their income on food than

8:23

I'm an American on a little pissed off about

8:25

having over priced up without. say what? I'm really

8:27

pissed off about. A really pissed off that people

8:30

seem to think that. The American Citizen

8:32

is a wallet where you

8:34

couldn't Is this your. Mana

8:39

thought about why the people in

8:42

New Jersey now are facing. Not

8:44

just getting the prices raised on the bottom

8:46

is a disgrace. A no no this is

8:49

on the Jerseys. Yeah, I know what it's

8:51

all. Yeah yeah the same by did but

8:53

the congestion pricing is is. Is.

8:55

Is. Making. Me as nuts

8:57

as I would just. I just want to underscore

9:00

because I think it's a fair point. There's not

9:02

like one box he can check and suddenly grocery

9:04

prices go down. That would be ridiculous to suggest.

9:06

But what is his is being told by advisors

9:08

as you need to speak to what people are

9:11

feeling. Guy to speak to this very real reality

9:13

I am. I make a lot of money. I

9:15

put a red onion back the other day because

9:17

of his for ninety nine that's ridiculous yet all

9:19

birds this idea what again so he can talk

9:21

to at least have eaten so he can do

9:24

that what he's done with the guess he leaves.

9:26

And do everything. But. Then he's not gonna

9:28

be able to take care when he nice into

9:30

an Israel and then he is not taking trips

9:32

or mean it's like okay with was dumped into

9:34

every what we get. We. Know there's

9:36

a lot to do. My expense with

9:39

him is like listen run if you

9:41

if there's something you want him to

9:43

talk about list list say listen. We.

9:46

Know you're doing all we suffer when you say

9:48

I. Don't want him to be talking about bridges.

9:50

Anymore it sounds to people

9:52

who lives and need that

9:54

bridge. The like

9:56

it would be a being dismissive. so I'm just

9:59

saying maybe we should. Cooperation and they

10:01

like way will serve as yours a

10:03

it yet to be good corporate citizens

10:05

and stop that would allow. Harry

10:12

Harry Hockey about the infrastructure projects which is

10:14

going around the country that how important just

10:16

not as a media is the wallet that

10:18

you feel. Depending on how you get to

10:20

work you know people here feel Luton. People

10:22

who are like you would say that you

10:24

hate cats and Trump you have to vote

10:26

for Biden but that wouldn't be as. He

10:35

cannot be immune from criticism he i very well

10:38

may yet I have a weird as I found

10:40

any criticism of know where they I'm when we

10:42

heard and I raise the issue that neighbors revealed

10:44

and turn led a rebellion I have a lot

10:46

of moderate and other things on the other side

10:48

that are fit city is some horrible it's bad

10:51

for talk about this Iras enough because I don't

10:53

want to trump to where's where I went on

10:55

to jump on ios time because people were noise

10:57

listening and watching the problem for what it was.

11:01

I'm gonna bring listening and will do my best.

many different areas the was supposed looked

14:23

at Some who claim they are longing

14:25

for that they are longing for the

14:27

past. The. So called

14:29

prior was trying to.

14:33

Offer for Israel Iran. Why? traditional of

14:35

our women who say they'll for go

14:37

a career to be a stay at

14:40

home wife or girlfriend and live a

14:42

life of femininity sarah like and now

14:44

days. But

14:47

I don't think the all they've had a

14:49

lot of leisure i was mad men as

14:51

like they were miserable sort of that they

14:53

will have yeah but they were not happy

14:55

and and that that that the brilliance of

14:57

the time were living in is now feminism

14:59

is having choices so I. Respect someone that

15:01

wants to be a. Little.

15:04

Hollow Houses. otherwise. that said, think we live in

15:06

a time where you could do that but it's

15:08

a privilege stance Also to be at home a

15:10

lot of families need two incomes x a most

15:13

family I think I was funny to me as

15:15

you know this proud why I guess is as

15:17

and the thing. Being.

15:19

At home. Taking. Care of a

15:21

home. taking care of family is really hard

15:23

work. really hard work on. I know when

15:26

when my son was born because I was

15:28

a former six current prosecutor I'd interesting one.

15:30

And so I stayed home for a year

15:32

and people were begging me to leave. The

15:34

house has become my kids. call it mom

15:36

of fine because I sort of like some

15:38

of the traditional roles. I like seeing the

15:40

nurture. I like cooking. I likely not. How

15:43

is the problem that climate? How had. A

15:46

week, but we need a two income. Not on The

15:48

only one here who was around during the new. York

15:50

ages of the fifties. But

15:54

I remember that here. And women were

15:56

home. and let's say that

15:59

they did everything korea But

16:01

men had a little dirty little secret. They

16:03

could go out and make money, have a

16:05

martini in the afternoon, schmooze with their friends,

16:07

and they like that. Then they come home

16:10

and everything is done. And there was this

16:12

book, remember the total woman? Yeah. They

16:14

wanted you to appear at the door

16:16

wearing nothing but cellophane. And

16:19

greet him. Good girl. Darling, I'm so

16:21

happy to see you and all this

16:23

other stuff. Okay. The problem was now

16:25

feminism comes in, 1970, approximately,

16:28

and Agoria Steinem says, everybody

16:30

needs a wife. Everybody needs a wife.

16:32

Meaning somebody has to take care of the

16:34

home. The women are going out to work,

16:37

okay? But they're also coming home to the

16:39

laundry, to the work, to the cooking, to

16:41

the cleaning, to

16:43

raising the kids, to everything else. The men

16:45

have not stepped up in 50 years.

16:48

Oh, I see that. What

16:52

do they do? I think

16:54

it's important to separate these concepts, though. The

16:56

tradwife is one thing. A stay-at-home mom, to me, that

16:58

is a job. It is a job. For many people,

17:00

childcare costs just as much as that money she could

17:03

be making work for. That's a job. This is more

17:05

this feminine idea that you're just gonna sit home and

17:07

live a life of leisure. And it is a myth,

17:09

it is a bill of lies. My own family, my

17:11

mom was a journalist. She stayed home when we were

17:13

little kids. In my parents' marriage fell apart when I

17:15

was six years old. She was lucky in her generation

17:17

to have a skill set to fall back on when

17:19

she lost the house. You're able to pay her bills

17:21

and provide for two little girls. Money, you have to

17:24

have your own money. Women that do this, you're not

17:26

gonna be able to take care of yourself. He may leave

17:28

you, he may die, you don't know. Always have your own

17:30

money, your own skills. That's cool. But Joy, when you said

17:32

the thing about, you know, the men haven't stepped up, I

17:34

would say it, and you were

17:36

saying it too, so you'd be like. Yeah, mine

17:39

has stepped up. Yeah, I think the balance, as

17:41

women have more predominantly taken on two roles, I

17:43

do think husbands have changed, because even my parents

17:45

look and they say. They're better. My

17:47

mom's like, if I had had a max rather than

17:49

your dad. You know? My father, when my father's my

17:51

father at the dining room table, my mother's running around

17:53

putting the, salt, that

17:56

was what it was. They fully said it didn't salt. He

17:59

did nothing in the house. No man, he

18:01

can't get away with that. Salt. Yeah.

18:04

Get your own salt. Who'd

18:08

you get at my house? And

18:10

by the way, there are different classes of people,

18:12

by the way. If you have a very rich

18:15

husband and he's very generous with you, getting you

18:17

have your own money, you can afford to have

18:19

manicures and facials every week or something. But if

18:21

you're working hard, that's a problem. My

18:23

mother was a sewing machine operator. She

18:26

worked her ass off for all her life. When

18:29

I asked her, would Rosie, I said,

18:31

would you rather be a doctor or a

18:33

doctor's wife? She said a doctor's wife. Of

18:35

course she did. Because her job was hard.

18:37

If your job is fun and interesting, you

18:39

don't wanna stay home all day long with the

18:41

kids. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, 50 years ago was

18:44

not a place I ever want to be back. Exactly.

18:46

They haven't even just such black people

18:49

at that time. I didn't wanna put it

18:51

there. But

18:53

it's a whole different world. If you are

18:55

a white woman in the 50s, you're

18:58

mad because you wanna get out of the house. Black

19:00

women in the 50s were like, God, can

19:02

I just have one hour to myself at

19:05

the house? What? What? What?

19:08

What? What? What?

19:10

What? What? What? What?

19:14

What? What? What? What?

19:17

What? What? What? What?

19:20

What? What? What? What?

19:24

What? What? What?

19:28

So last night I was honored

19:30

to attend the National Action

19:32

Network's Keepers of the Dream Awards Dinner

19:35

and I got the President's Award. It

19:37

was wonderful. It was wonderful. I

19:44

texted Whoopi last night a picture of yourself

19:46

receiving the awards because my friends that were

19:48

in the audience kept on sending them to

19:50

me as if we are kind of like

19:52

tethered together. You can't go anywhere without me.

19:54

Are you here, Sunny? I said I don't

19:56

go everywhere, Whoopi go. So

19:58

I Congratulated you last night. Yeah,

20:00

the on for that. Matter

20:06

movement areas. But I do want to

20:08

say thank you this ah Reverend Al

20:11

Sharpton. Yeah, because he's this organization need.

20:13

Put. This together. With

20:15

split them bubble gum Yeah and

20:18

it's now here doing what is

20:20

done in it's been so good.

20:22

Ah to people. He and people

20:24

of color and people. And the moral

20:27

poor folks and size and

20:29

say. Hey. That's

20:35

not really what I want attacks when

20:37

I wanted to use as some industries.

20:39

Are really hard to break answered.

20:41

So one aspiring artists took matters

20:43

into his own hands. He was

20:45

a maintenance worker at a modern

20:47

art museum in Munich, Germany and

20:49

he's hung one of his own

20:51

paintings on the gallery War. But

20:55

they did not take kindly to it.

20:58

They fired him. Ah, but

21:00

do you blame him for if you're an

21:02

artist, Would you blame him for no idea.

21:04

That was like yeah I love it

21:07

especially because we know how difficult it

21:09

is for artists to be recognized for

21:11

their work, especially painters and that sort

21:14

of the any artist really and what

21:16

people don't understand his bank? see that

21:18

very famous artist see you there used

21:21

to do the same exact thing they

21:23

would hang things in in different different

21:25

museums like guy. The. Metropolitan Museum

21:27

of Art and and other other museums and so

21:29

what it? What I love about that is what

21:32

he was as he said I thought you know

21:34

put them in a gallery otherwise they would just

21:36

sit at home and know with see them. Famous

21:40

I want shall suffer the Sky rehire. Have the

21:42

I like I like to go get earnest or

21:44

that And by the way, I love modern art,

21:46

but I'm one of those people that. Fifty.

21:48

Percent of their I'm captivated, the other fifty percent my

21:50

knees could have drawn so I do. Such a. Thing

21:54

or nice accurate know what? I love someone who

21:56

just like go with fork of I remember it

21:58

didn't work out some awful but once I was

22:01

a page and they asked who could drive in

22:03

the room and I often like want the volunteer

22:05

moment before think about the question and I proceeded

22:07

to before we get out of the car rental

22:09

which had special permission from the company says we

22:11

worked twenty five phones get across the pool I

22:13

fly in a cold out of the played against

22:16

accident in an epic in the parking garage. I

22:18

hadn't got nothing wrong guy had to them bribe

22:20

the woman with Rosie of Donald think it's because

22:22

I was a page on her show when those

22:24

were hard to get know that I was following

22:26

it of the com going to get fired A

22:29

Back on stage in the new

25:15

revival of the with on Broadway

25:17

plays Welcome. To

25:44

pursue further a few really letting herself

25:46

dollar an. Hour

25:49

hundred a beer. Gut says you're back

25:52

on Broadway. And here summary of Rammed

25:54

aware. Of

25:58

course, the fiscal year. since it

26:01

was first on Broadway. 50 years. It's

26:03

a moment, it's a real moment to

26:05

be back and to be part of

26:07

this amazing cast and the story. Yeah,

26:10

so I'm happy. And you play the Wiz. I am

26:12

the Wiz. You are the Wiz. All right. Look

26:15

at that, look at that. Look at that. Oh, I got

26:17

you guys. Oh, I love it. See, that's

26:19

good. Now can we actually show my costume from the

26:22

show? Yeah, it's not what you wore

26:24

yesterday. Right. You know,

26:26

you have too much talent. That's your problem.

26:30

Well, hey, you know, I don't have a

26:32

museum that I can hang my art in.

26:34

So, which by the way, you know what?

26:37

I agree with your take on that. I

26:40

could make a dress and hang it in Bloomingdale. She can't sew.

26:42

What part do you agree with? Well, whatever. No,

26:44

but that's exactly it. Because like everybody

26:46

goes, oh, you know what? He did

26:48

that thing, he showed initiative. It doesn't

26:50

mean he's good. Exactly. There are people

26:52

that bust their hump at these

26:55

artistic endeavors. I've worked a long time to

26:57

be able to do this. Look, I

26:59

can't change your oil. I

27:02

can't save your life, but I can damn sure sing a

27:04

song and make you laugh. Yeah. So,

27:06

that's what I thought of you all. Yes.

27:09

Wayne, I just

27:11

say you're even more handsome in person, so it's so lovely

27:13

to have you here. Thank you, ma'am. Now The Wiz premiered

27:16

on Broadway, 1975, the film

27:18

adaptation in 1978, starring

27:20

Diana Ross, Richard Marlino, Horne, Michael Jackson.

27:22

And I understand watching that was when

27:24

you knew you wanted to be on

27:26

Broadway. Does this feel full circle to

27:29

you? Absolutely. It's one of

27:31

those moments, I think, especially for my

27:33

generation, growing up watching The Wiz,

27:37

it was inspirational and

27:39

aspirational. Because you see, watching the

27:42

movie and then watching the live

27:44

show, you see these depictions of

27:46

a fantastical black life that to

27:48

be honest, sometimes depending on where

27:51

you are, we aren't allowed the

27:53

agency to dream and have fantasies.

27:56

So to see these people dressed up as

27:58

the... and the

28:00

wizard and doing this thing, I

28:03

knew that I wanted to be like them.

28:05

I didn't know how I was gonna get

28:07

from Orlando and Tangival Park all

28:09

the way to Broadway, but I knew I was

28:11

gonna do it someday, and that was definitely part

28:13

of my journey. So now, here I am on

28:15

Broadway playing the Wiz. So, uh. Wow.

28:18

Shout out to Andre DeField, the original Wiz.

28:22

Oh, it's awesome. Well, in January,

28:24

you know, we had on the

28:26

show the amazingly talented Michelle. She's

28:29

our Dorothy. She's Dorothy. She's

28:32

amazing. She just blew us

28:34

away with her talent. Look at

28:36

that, look at that. She's 24 years

28:38

old everywhere. 24 years old. It's

28:41

amazing. You talk a lot about

28:44

inspiring the next generation of

28:46

performers. Is that something in

28:48

the back of your mind every time you

28:51

hit the stage? Because you're clearly an inspiration

28:53

to so many performers. Absolutely. I

28:55

completely know that when you reach a certain point,

28:58

especially in this business, when you're lucky enough to,

29:00

I've been on TV consecutively for close to 25

29:02

years. I haven't missed a year.

29:04

Thank you, God. Okay. I

29:06

know that with that visibility comes,

29:09

there's someone else going, like I

29:11

looked at the Wiz, the movie,

29:13

there's somebody else going, hey, I'm

29:16

wherever I'm from, I wanna be

29:18

able to do that. And I love being

29:20

able to say, hey, this is

29:23

how you do it. This is how you put

29:25

your head down. This is the work that it

29:27

takes. Because this is a generation about shortcuts. No

29:29

shortcuts. Get it done. And

29:31

be excellent. Be

29:34

excellent. Instagram is fool people.

29:36

Oh my God, I'm on TV. No,

29:38

no you're not. No. Wait,

29:41

29:43

30:48

30:50

30:54

30:56

to I will be six of videos. The tic

30:58

toc videos blew up the one of the sitcoms

31:00

want to Zola stuff we said ace let's do

31:02

this reality show because I'm notoriously tight lipped about

31:04

my license zone. Only thing is that when we

31:06

see not. States I said I will share

31:08

them with Sarah. Well well yes because it

31:11

was sharing. A bit of said okay you

31:13

Was alive and if I think and fire even

31:51

in that way, it's never too late to want

31:53

to be happy and be together as. A

31:57

sign of the silliness. Modern version a blended family

31:59

because I don't think growth how many around of

32:01

32:04

Is that what wanted to go Important You to

someone bi racial. How does that look?

32:29

It's it's it's generational, his generation Or

32:31

how does a family look today? being

32:33

black were being. Being Affleck is not

Honestly, I think it went better than the table. There

38:31

was not a lot of cross-barking. Everyone got to make their

38:33

point. At

38:37

the end of the day, the dogs were perfect. The

38:39

humans, on the other hand, could use the trainer. What's

38:43

a fake red headset? Oh

38:47

my God! Hi. Hi.

38:53

Hi. I

38:55

don't know. We're all supposed to be

38:57

about body positivity at this table. There was

38:59

a lot of size shaming going on. It

39:02

did feel a little rough. My

39:04

dogs wore a tuxedo, okay? And

39:07

dressed himself. What

39:10

we doing the voiceovers was the best part. Because

39:12

I hadn't gotten to see that. That's so good. How

39:15

many voices? What was the biggest helicopter, Mama?

39:18

Sunny. I mean, shocker. Navarro is

39:20

bad too. Navarro. Anne

39:23

is terrible. She's

39:25

just nowhere- Where's shock? A scarf.

39:28

A scarf. Finn and I have

39:30

bonded. And so, yes, I take care of him and he

39:32

takes care of me. Okay. Did

39:34

they have any size requirements for entering? Or was

39:36

ever- See size shaming? Okay. Before

39:40

we go too far, that's how I shut

39:42

them up. We

39:45

want to say special thanks to Logan and her

39:47

dad. They are the

39:49

co-owners of Forest and Horton. The
