THE LATE LATE SHOW, OH, OH ♪ IT'S THE LATE LATE SHOW ♪

>> James: GOOD EVENING, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, AND WELCOME TO

THE "LATE LATE SHOW."

I HOPE YOU HAVE HAD AN OKAY DAY.

I HOPE ARE YOU HOLDING UP ALL RIGHT, HOW ARE YOU FEELING,

REG, ARE YOU GOOD?

>> Reggie: I'M DOING GOOD.

I JUST LOST A HEADPHONE.

>> James: OH NO.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

>> Reggie: I JUST CAN'T HEAR OUT OF MY RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW.

>> James: HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT IS THE HEADPHONE AND NOT YOUR

EAR?

HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT THE PROBLEM ISN'T SOMETHING DEEPER THAN

THAT?

>> Reggie: OKAY, I FIXED IT.

THANKS, JAMES.

>> James: AND IT IS THIS LEVEL, IT IS THIS LEVEL OF

BROADCASTING WE'RE GOING TO BRING YOU ALL NIGHT TONIGHT

FOLKS, OKAY, NOT ONLY WHEN YOU GET THIS INCREDIBLE INCITE,

WE'LL ALSO BE TALKING TO THE EVER-CHARMING ANNA KENDRICK WILL

BE HERE LATER ON.

WE HAVE A MUSICAL PERFORMANCE FROM THE ICON THAT IS ALANIST

MORISSETTE SO STICK AROUND FOR THAT BUT NORMALLY WHEN WE START

A SHOW IN THE GARAGES WE HAVE THREE THINGS THAT CHEER YOU UP

BUT RIGHT NOW WITH EVERYTHING GOING ON IN THE WORLD WE CHANGED

IT UP.

WE HAVE THINGS TO OFFER SUPPORT, THIS IS THREE THINGS YOU CAN DO

TO HELP.

>> Reggie: THREE THINGS YOU CAN DO TO HELP.

>> James: REG YEA, COULD I GET A NUMBER PLEASE.

>> Reggie: NUMBER ONE.

>> James: NUMBER ONE, HERE IS SOMTHING YOU CAN DO, SIGN A

PETITION.

IT COULDN'T BE SIMPLER.

AND NO, I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THE PETITION, WHICH IS REAL, TO

BRING BACK BARBECUE FRITOS OR THE ONES THAT CAST DANNY DE VITO

AS WOLVERINE ALTHOUGH I DO THINK THAT WOULD BE A LOCK FOR AN

OSCAR NOMINATION.

NO I'M CALLING FOR PETITIONS LIKE THE ONE CALLING FOR JUSTICE

FOR GEORGE FLOYD, ALREADY THE BIGGEST ON CHANGE.ORG WITH OVER

15 MILLION SIGNATURES, AND YOU COULD LEND IT TO OTHER PETITIONS

CALLING FOR JUSTICE FOR BREONNA TAYLOR, SEAN REED AND MANY, MANY

OTHERS WHO NEED IT AND ONCE YOU SIGN THOSE PETITIONS AND

ENCARNACION SURE POLICE OFFICERS ARE BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR

THEIR CRIMES, YOU CAN SHIFT YOUR FOCUS BACK TO THE PETITIONS TO I

DON'T KNOW, MAKE BABY YODA AN EMOJI OR THE ONES TO HAVE NIKE

RESTOCK CHUNKY DUNKY SB'S.

THAT'S REAL, I'M TALKING ABOUT BEN AND JERRY'S ICE CREAM THEME

SKATEBOARDING SHOES, YOU HAVE THE POWER TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

REGGIE WHAT IS NEXT.

>> Reggie: NUMBER TWO.

>> James: NOW YES, THE SECRETARY THING YOU CAN DO TO

HELP TODAY, INVOLVES EDUCATION.

NOW MANY PEOPLE ARE FEELING OVERWHELMED AT THE MOMENT BY THE

TOPIC OF RACE AND JUSTICE.

AND BY PEOPLE WE MEAN SPECIFICALLY PRESIDENT DONALD

TRUMP.

ALL THIS WEEK TRUMP'S TWEET WAS MY ADMIN HAS DONE MORE FOR THE

BLACK COMAWMENT THAN ANY PRESIDENT SINCE ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

I THINK EVEN TRUMP SUPPORT ARES WERE LIKE OH, SIR, THAT IS

HILARIOUS.

NOW RECENTLY I HAVE TAKEN IT UPON MYSELF, I HAVE ORDERED SOME

BOOGS, MF TIFF BOOKS, PLAINING RACE AND THE HISTORY OF BLACK

EXPERIENCE IN AMERICA BECAUSE AND THE REASON IS I CANNOT

STRESS THIS ENOUGH, I KNOW NOTHING, OKAY SO THESE ARE THE

BOOKS I HAVE ORDERED.

LIKE HOW TO BE AN ANTIRACIST, WHITE FRAGILITY WHICH IS

ACTUALLY I THINK SOLD OUT AT THE MOMENT, AND THIS BOOK SO YOU

WANT TO TALK ABOUT RACE.

NOW I'M EXCITED TO READ THESE BOOKS AND EDUCATION-- EDUCATE

MYSELF.

BUT HERE IS THE PROBLEM, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT DONALD TRUMP HERE.

AND FRANKLY, THESE BOOKS HAVE GOT WAY TOO MANY WORDS.

AND I THOUGHT LUCKILY THERE ARE PLENTY OF AMAZING BOOKS AIMED

SPECIFICALLY AT YOUNG PEOPLE.

AND BOOKS LIKE THIS, SOME OF THESE BOOKS FOR KIDS AS YOUNG AS

TWO, THE AND THIS BOOK, SOULWAYS SO WHAT WE HAVE DECIDED TO DO IS

PUT THESE BOOKS IN AN ENVELOPE, RIGHT HERE, AND WE'RE GOING TO

MAIL THESE BOOKS TO DONALD TRUMP IN THE HOPE THAT THESE ARE BOOKS

THAT WOULD HELP EXPLAIN RACISM AND ITS PROBLEMS TO THE

PRESIDENT.

NOW I'M GOING TO PUT A LITTLE NOTE IN HERE TO VICE PRESIDENT

MIKE PENCE.

DEAR MIKE, PLEASE ADD THESE TO THE PRESIDENT'S BED TIME STORY

ROTATION, YOURS, JAMES.

THERE WE GO AND WE'LL SEND THEM AND HOPEFULLY IT CAN HELP.

REGGIE, YOU CAN GIVE ME A NUMBER THREE.

>> Reggie: NUMBER THREE.

>> James: OKAY, THE THIRD THING YOU CAN DO TO HELP RIGHT

NOW IS.

>> JAMES, JAMES, HI, I HAVE SOME GREAT NEWS.

>> James: HI, OLIVIA, EVERYONE, THIS IS OLIVIA, SHE IS

IS A WRITER ON THE SHOW, WE ARE TAPING THE SHOW RIGHT NOW,

OLIVIA, WE'RE JUST DOING THREE THINGS YOU CAN DO TO HELP AT THE

MOMENT.

>> I KNOW, THAT'S THE GREAT NEWS.

YOU HAVE AN AMAZING TOOL TO HELP FIGHT STRUCTURAL RACISM.

>> James: YOU'RE RIGHT.

I HAVE MY CELEBRITY.

>> HA, OH, NO.

>> James: MY PLATFORM?

>> OH, GOD NO, NOBODY ACTUALLY WATCHES THIS SHOW IT PLAYS IN

ROOMS WHERE PEOPLE HAVE FALLEN ASLEEP.

>> James: WHAT, WELL, TELL ME, WHAT DO YOU MEAN, WHAT TOOLS DO

I HAVE?

>> ACTUALLY THE TOOL THAT YOU HAVE IS SO POKER WITHFUL, YOU

ARE PROBABLY NOT EVEN AWARE OF IT.

>> James: IS IT-- DWSH I DOBTS-- I DON'T WANT THIS TO

KOWMENT AS ARROGANT.

IS IT, IS IT MY CHARISMA?

CUZ PEOPLE SAY THAT ABOUT ME, THEY SAY I HAVE GOT A STORT OF,

THEY CAN'T PUT THEIR FINGER, I HAVE A SORT OF VULNERABLE

CONFIDENCE YOU RARELY FIND IN A BIG MAN.

>> IT'S YOUR PRIVILEGE, THAT IS WHAT ST, I SHOULDN'T HAVE MADE

YOU GUESS.

>> James: PRIVILEGE?

MY PRIVILEGE, RIGHT, RIGHT.

WELL, LET'S PRETEND AS AN EXERCISE THAT I DON'T 100

PERCENT KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS BUT I DO KNOW THAT WHEN I HEAR IT IT

MAKES ME FEEL BAD.

>> IT'S PERFECTLY NORMAL TO FEEL A LITTLE BIT GUILTY TALKING

ABOUT PRIVILEGE.

BUT IF IT HELPS HAVING PRIVILEGE ISN'T YOUR FAULT.

IT'S SOMETHING YOU INHERITED, NOT SOMETHING YOU DID WRONG.

>> James: NO, THAT'S THE THING, SEE, NO, I DIDN'T INHERIT

ANYTHING.

LIKE I DIDN'T GROW UP IN A WEALTHY HOME, DO YOU KNOW WHAT I

MEAN.

WE USED TO GO CAMPING IN BOURNEMOUTH, YOU KNOW, I'M NOT

PRIVILEGED IN ANYWAY.

>> I'M SO HAPPY YOU BROUGHT THAT UP.

ONE OF THE BIGGEST MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT PRIVILEGE

IS THAT SAYING YOU HAVE IT IS SAYING YOU HAVE AN EASY LIFE OR

THAT YOU HAD IT EASY GROWING UP.

IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT.

WHAT PRIVILEGE DOES MEAN, SPECIFICALLY WHITE PRIVILEGE IS

THAT YOUR SKIN COLOR DIDN'T MAKE YOUR LIFE MORE CHALLENGING.

JIZ HEAR WHAT YOU ARE SAYING.

BUT THE THOUGHT THAT I HAVE WHITE PRIVILEGE MAKES ME FEEL

REALLY BAD.

>> IT DOESN'T HAVE TO.

>> James: I FEEL BAD.

>> IT'S OKAY JAMES.

>> James: IT HAS MADE ME-- I'M FEELING BAD.

I HATE RACISM.

I HATE RACISM.

>> I KNOW.

LET'S TRY TO KEEP GOING.

>> James: BUT-- I HAVE WHITE PRIVILEGE.

THERE, I SAID IT.

I SAID IT.

I DID IT, I CAN HANDLE THAT.

I HAVE WHITE PRIVILEGE.

I HAVE A VERY CHARISMATIC WHITE PRIVILEGE.

>> SURE.

AND HAVING THAT PRIVILEGE MEANS THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH

THINGS LIKE BEING RACIALLY PROFILED OR GETTING UNFAIRLY

TURNED DOWN FOR A MORTGAGE LOAN BECAUSE OF YOUR SKIN COLOR OR

BEING A MINORITY AT YOUR WORKPLACE, SO YOU HAVE TO

EXPLAIN PRIVILEGE TO PEOPLE YOU WORK WITH.

>> James: THAT'S TERRIBLE.

HAVE THOSE THINGS EVER HAPPENED TO YOU.

>> YEAH.

ONE OF THEM IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.

>> James: OH MY GOD IS.

OH GOD, DID YOU JUST GET TURNED DOWN FOR A MORTGAGE LOAN?

>> NO, NO, I'M EXPLAINING PRIVILEGE TO SOMEONE I WORK

WITH.

>> James: I'M THE WORST. OH, MI SO STUPID.

>> IT'S OKAY.

>> James: I'M THE PROBLEM.

>> NO, JAMES, NO, IT'S OKAY.

>> James: I'M THE PROBLEM, I'M THE PROBLEM, OH, GOD.

>> THAT'S WHY WE ARE DOING THIS.

DON'T-- IT'S OKAY.

BECAUSE THERE IS SO MANY HELPFUL THINGS THAT YOU CAN DO WITH YOUR

PRIVILEGE.

>> James: WELL, LIKE WHAT.

>> RECOGNIZE IT IS A HUGE STEP.

AND NOW THAT YOU RECOGNIZE IT, YOU CAN USE IT TO FIGHT FOR A

MORE JUST SOCIETY.

>> James: I CAN?

>> YES.

YOU CAN USE YOUR PRIVILEGE TO SPEAK UP ON BEHALF OF PEOPLE OF

COLOR IN BIG WAYS AND SMALL WAYS.

BIG WAYS LIKE FIGHTING FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE IN AREAS LIKE

EDUCATION, HEALTH CARE AND HOUSING AND SMALLER WAYS LIKE

LISTENING TO PEOPLE OF COLOR, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE TALK ABOUT

RACISM, WITHOUT MAKING IT ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS.

>> James: OH MY GOD.

MAKING IT ABOUT MY FEELINGS.

THAT IS WHAT I JUST DID.

WELL, NOW THAT'S MADE ME FEEL-- NEVER MIND.

>> THERE YOU GO.

THIS HAS BEEN THREE THINGS YOU CAN DO TO HELP.

>> James: THANKS, OLIVIA-- OLIVIA HAREWOOD, EVER.

WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH MORE OF THE "LATE, LATE SHOW."

>> James: OUR FIRST GUEST IS ONE OF THE BUSIEST ACTORS AROUND,

SHE CURRENTLY STARS IN TROLLS WORLD TOUR, THE DUNLY

ON QUIBI, AND LOVE LIFE ON HBO MAX, THE STUPENDOUS, ANNA

KENDRICK IS HERE, HI FRIEND, HOW ARE YOU.

>> HOW ARE YOU.

I'M SO SAD I'M NOT SEEING YOU IN PERSON.

>> James: WE WERE SUPPOSED TO SPEND A LOT OF TIME TOGETHER,

DOING PRESS AND PROMOTIONS AND HERE WE ARE.

>> IT IS A CRAZY WORLD, FRIEND.

AND I FEEL LIKE I'M DEFINITELY MISSING MY SEMIANNUAL MOMENT OF

HANG OUT WITH YOU, SO I THINK YOU KNOW, I WAS EXPECTING TO SEE

YOU ON THE TROLLS WORLD TOUR.

AND EVERY TIME I SEE YOU YOU GIVE ME SOME KIND OF LOVELY PEP

TALK OR NUGGET OF ADVICE THAT I CARRY AROUND WITH ME SO I'M VERY

SAD.

>> James: WELL, I AM ALSO SAD.

BUT IT IS LOVELY TO SEE YOU LIKE THIS OVER A SCREEN, NONE THE

LESS.

IT REALLY IS.

NOW YOU ARE HERE IN LOS ANGELES.

I KNOW, YOU WENT TO ONE OF THE PROTESTS FOR THE MARCH IN L.A

TELL ME ABOUT THAT.

HOW WAS IT?

HOW WAS YOUR EXPERIENCE?

>> MY EXPERIENCE WAS REALLY POSITIVE.

IT WAS REALLY MOVING AND MEANINGFUL.

AND I FOUND IT TO BE TOTALLY PEACEFUL AND I HAD BEEN NERVOUS

ABOUT GOING BECAUSE YOU KNOW, THERE HAS BEEN VIOLENCE BUT IT

WAS SO WONDERFUL.

AND I ACTUALLY LEFT AFTER A FEW HURS CUZ I'M AN OLD LADY AND I

CAN ONLY BE OUT IN THE HEAT AND THE SUN FOR SO LONG, OBVIOUSLY.

AND I DID, I HAD A FUNNY EXPERIENCE WHERE, YOU KNOW, I

LOOKED AT MY PHONE, YOU KNOW, AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES AFTER

LEAVING.

AND I SAW, YOU KNOW, THAT THERE WERE RUBBER BULLETS BEING FIRED

AND THAT THERE WAS, YOU KNOW, A COMPANY CAR WAS ON FIRE.

AND AT FIRST I HONESTLY THOUGHT THAT IS A MISTAKE.

THAT CAN'T BE TRUE.

I WAS JUST THERE, YOU KNOW.

SO IT IS REALLY A CONFUSING TIME SINCE I HAD BEEN THERE, YOU KNOW

WHEN A SITUATION IS ESCALATING AND THINGS ARE ABOUT TO GO CRAZY

AND THE SITUATION FEELS FRAUGHT, AND IT JUST WASN'T THAT.

SO IT WAS PRETTY ALARMING TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED SO SOON AFTER

LEAVING.

>> James: YEAH.

HOW DO YOU, IS THERE ANYTHING THAT YOU FOUND OR ANYTHING YOU

READ, ANYTHING AT ALL THAT HELPS YOU GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING

OF THESE ISSUES RIGHT NOW?

>> YEAH, WELL, I HAVE BEEN DOING THROUGHOUT LOCKDOWN, THROUGHOUT

QUARANTINE, I HAVE BEEN DOING KIND OF FAMILY MOVIE NIGHTS.

AND HAVING REMOTE FAMILY MOVIE NIGHTS WHICH IS, YOU KNOW, BEEN

VERY LOVELY AND BONDING.

AND IT IS USUALLY A DISNEY FILM, BACK TO THE FUTURE, THAT KIND OF

FAMILY FILM.

AND LAST WEEK MY MOM SAYS SHE DIDN'T REALLY FEEL RIGHT ABOUT

THIS THE DISTRACTION, I SUGGESTED THAT WE WATCH THIS ONE

OF DOCUMENTARY ABOUT JAMES BALDWIN CALLED I'M NOT YOUR

NEGROE SO WE WATCHED THAT INSTEAD.

AND YOU KNOW, GROWING UP LIKE MY DAD SHED ME, YOU KNOW, TO KILL A

MOCKINGBIRD AND MY MOM GAVE ME A BELL COOK BOOK WHEN I WAS 16 OR

17, AND I SA SAY THAT TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO PEOPLE

FEELING WELL MY FAMILY IS NOT RACIST-- RACIST, I DON'T HAVE TO

DO THAT.

TO ALWAYS DEEPENING YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF IT.

AND I THINK THAT WAS A REALLY NICE WAY FOR US TO DO SOMETHING

TOGETHER AS A FAMILY.

AND WE'RE GOING TO WATCH THE 13th.

>> THAT IS A BRILLIANT THING.

>> YEAH.

>> THAT IS SOMETHING YOU CAN DO WITH YOUR FAMILY IF YOU ARE

LOOKING FOR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

>> SURE.

HOW DO YOU MANAGE DURING THIS LOCKDOWN AND QUARANTINE.

I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE THE OTHER WAY, YOU ENJOY GOING TO WORK I

THINK MORE THAN ANYBODY I KNOW, LIKE WHENEVER I TALK TO YOU

ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE DOING, YOU WILL TELL ME THE NEXT 11 THINGS

THAT YOU ARE DOINGMENT AND I WILL THINK OH MY GOD, HOW DO YOU

COPE WITH JUST STOPPING.

>> WELL, THE FUNNY THING IS THAT I HAD FINALLY KIND OF

ACKNOWLEDGED THAT I NEEDED TO TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF TIME OFF

AND MAYBE NOT BE RUNNING AROUND THE GLOBE WORKING WITHOUT SEEING

FRIENDS AND FAMILY FOR A MONTH AT A TIME.

AND TOOK A LITTLE BIT OF TIME OFF.

AND THEN A TINY PANDEMIC HIT AND I WAS A LITTLE BIT LIKE THIS

ISN'T WHAT I WANT.

YEAH, I DO FEEL LIKE I'M A LITTLE BIT CONCERNED THAT WHEN

THIS IS OVER, YOU KNOW, THE POWERS THAT BE WILL BE LIKE

OKAY, YOU READY TO GET BACK TO, WITHOUT.

AND I AM LIKE I MEANT MORE LIKE GOING TO THE MOVIES AND STUFF.

>> I WOULD LIKE IT WITHOUT THE ANXIETY.

>> YES.

>> LIKE IT WITHOUT THE FEAR.

WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING AROUND THE HOUSE TO KEEP YOURSELF BUSY.

>> YOU KNOW, I HAVE GOTTEN THROUGH MOST OF THE BIG LEGO

SETS.

I AM A GROWN WOMAN, YES, JAMES, IN CASE YOU FORGOT.

BUT YEAH, I MADE THE MILLENNIUM FALCON.

THE-- TO WE ARE OF-- FROM LORD OF THE REGULARS AND HOGWARTS

CASTLE.

>> SO HERE IS MY QUESTION.

DO YOU MAKE THEM AND THEN KEEP THEM TO LOOK AT OR DO YOU

DISMANTLE THEM AT ANY POINT.

THIS IS THE PROBLEM WITH LEGO IN OUR HOUSE.

>> YEAH, YEAH.

>> MY SON, HE'S NINE SO HE IS LEGITIMATELY OKAY DOING THE

LEGO.

AND HE, WE BUILD SOMETHING AND THEN HE THINKS OH, THAT'S NOW,

THAT SHOULD THOUGHT LIVE ON THESE SHELVES.

>> FOREVER.

>> AND HE NEVER WANTS TO DISMANTLE AND REBUILD SOMETHING

OUT OF HIS OWN IMAGINATION.

>> YEAH, I WILL CON FEES-- CONFESS THAT EVEN AS A

GROWN ASS WOMAN, I HAVE MAYBE TOO MUCH PRIDE IN THE LEGO

BUILDS THAT I HAVE DONE.

AND THEY ARE CURRENTLY ON A SHELF, ARE THEY GOING TO STAY

THERE, NO, I'M TELLING MYSELF.

BUT YEAH, MY INTENTION IS OBVIOUSLY TO DISMANTLE THEM AND

GIVE THEM TO A CHILD WHO WOULD ENJOY MAKING THEM.

BUT I KNOW THAT-- THAT DAY WILL BE SADDER THAN I WOULD LIKE TO

ADMIT.

>> OH, YOU WILL BE DEVASTATED.

>> NOW I WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT YOUR BRILLIANT NEW SERIES,

LOVE LIFE, I FEEL LIKE YOU MADE A SERIES THAT WAS BASICALLY MADE

FOR ME.

THIS IS MY KIND OF SHOW.

>> YOU ARE MY TARGET AUDIENCE.

BECAUSE I REMEMBER MAKING BONDING WITH YOU OVER LOVE OF

ROMANTIC COMEDIES.

AN INCREDIBLE GENRE, AN ALL-TIEF FAVE, I HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT

YOU'VE GOT MAIL AND YOU STARTED QUOTING THE LINE BACK TO ME

WHERE HE WAS LUKE I WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO WAIT FOR YOU

TO CALL ME.

I WOULD HAVE LEFT A MESSAGE ON YOUR MACHINE AND.

>> FOREVER, AND EVER.

>> FOR AS LONG AS WE BOTH SHALL LIVE.

>> AND I WAS LIKE JAMES, THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF A NEW

FRIENDSHIP.

SO IT IS LIKE UNABASHEDLY A ROMANTIC COMEDY SERIES.

AND THE CONCEPT IS THAT EVERY EPISODE IS A RELATIONSHIP

WHETHER A-- OR ONE-NIGHT STAND AND IT IS REALLY ABOUT THE WAY

THAT WE LEARN AND GROW AND HOW WE CHANGE BASED ON THE

RELATIONSHIP THAT WE HAVE IN OUR LIFE.

THERE IS A KIND OF LIKE DAVID AT ENBORROW DOCUMENTARY ELEMENT TO

IT WHERE IT'S LIKE OBSERVING HUMAN BEHAVIOR THAT I THINK IS

REALLY FUN.

>> NOW YOU'RE ALSO A PRODUCER ON THE SERIES.

>> YES.

>> WHAT IS PRODUCER KENDRICK LIKE?

AS OPPOSED TO ACTRESS KENDRICK, LIKE DO YOU JUST START THROWING

YOUR WEIGHT AROUND.

>> WELL, OKAY, SO YOU KNOW ME, SO IT'S D-- I'M BLUSHING A

LITTLE BIT BUT IT'S NOT THAT DIFFERENT.

BECAUSE I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN OPINIONATED AND BOSSY.

>> NO, I DON'T BELIEVE IT.

>> IT'S MORE LIKE INSTEAD OF IT BEING LIKE A CHARACTER FLAW AS

PART OF MY JOB DESCRIPTION, THE DIFFERENCE IS NOT HUGE BUT IT IS

REALLY WONDERFUL TO FEEL LIKE, YOU KNOW, THAT I HAVE A VOICE

AND A SAY IN HOW THINGS GO.

>> NOW THE CAST ON THE SHOW IS BRILLIANT.

DID YOU HAVE MUCH SAY IN CASTING, CUZ IT'S KIND OF WEIRD

IF YOU ARE A PRODUCER AND CASTING PEOPLE TO BE YOUR LOVE

INTEREST, ACROSS WHAT IS IT, TEN EPISODES.

>> WELL, INITIALLY THE, YOU KNOW, WE HAD MOST OF THE SERIES

LAID OUT BUT THE CHARACTERS OF THE LOVE INTEREST WEREN'T SURE

TO FIND YET, SO I SUBMITTED OME IDEAS FOR CASTING NOT REALLY

KNOWING SPECIFICALLY WHAT KIND OF CHARACTERS THEY WERE GOING TO

BE.

I REALIZED THIS IS JUST A LIST OF PEOPLE I WANT TO MAKE OUT

WITH.

AND THIS IS NOT A SUPERPROFESSIONAL LOOK FOR ME.

SO I DEFINITELY LIKE HELD OFF AND THEN ONCE YOU START GETTING

CHARACTERS-- WE JUST GOT, I MEAN AN EMBARRASSMENT OF.

>> WELL, I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS SHOW AND I AM ALSO EXCITED

THAT AT THE ARE GOING TO DROP IT IN A DIFFERENT WAY RATHER THAN

ONCE A WEEK.

I AM JUST GOING TO DEVOUR.

>> I AM REALLY EXCITED.

IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ONE EPISODE A WEEK AND THE

VIEWERSHIP WAS SO STRONG THAT THEY DECIDED TO RELEASE THEM IN

CHUNKS.

THERE ARE THREE MORE THIS WEEK AND THE REST WILL BE NEXT WEEK.

SO THAT IS MAKE ME HAPPY.

>> WELL, LET'S TACK A LACK AT A CLIP FROM LOVE LIFE, THE FIRST

SIX ED EPISODES ARE AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW ON HBO MAX.

>> I NEVER SEE YOU ANY MORE.

>> SORRY.

>> IT FEELS REALLY RIGHT.

>> IT FEELS REALLY RIGHT.

>> STICK AROUND, WE'LL BE BACK WITH MORE ANNA KENDRICK RIGHT

AFTER THIS.

>> James: WELCOME BECOME, WE ARE HERE WITH ANNA KENDRICK, NOW

ANN' WE HAVE BEEN DOING THIS THING ON THE SHOW, "LATE, LATE

SHOW" AND TELL WHERE WE ASK OUR GUESTS TO SHARE SOMETHING FROM

THEIR HOME THAT WE MAY OTHERWISE NEVER GET TO SEE.

DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH US TONIGHT.

>> I DO.

I FEEL LIKE I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE

THIS ITEM IS SPECIFICALLY SOMETHING THAT I KEPT ON DISPLAY

IN MY LIVING ROOM FOR SIX YEARS WAITINGS FOR SOMEBODY TO ASK ME

ABOUT IT SO THAT I COULD LIKE FLEX A LITTLE BIT.

AND NO ONE EVER ASKED.

NOT A PERSON.

NOT ONE PERSON.

SO THIS IS THE PERSON HAVE I BEEN WAITING FOR, THIS MASSIVE

BOOK, RIGHT.

>> James: RIGHT.

>> AND IT'S THE TALES OF BARD A BOOK WITHIN A BOOK FROM THE

HARRY POTTER AND IT OPENS UP, THERE SAY SECRET BOOK INSIDE.

, WAIT, WAIT FOR IT.

SO IT IS LIKE THIS FANCY ACTUAL COPY OF BEETLE AND BARD AND THEN

FOR MY BIRTHDAY LIKE TEN YEARS AGO EVERYBODY THAT I KNEW PULLED

EVERYTHING THEY HAD AND GOT IT SIGNED BY J.K. RAWLING.

I WANT TO TELL PEOPLE ABOUT IT ALL THE TIME AND I HAD IT FULLY

IN PROMINENT DISPLAY IN MY LIVING ROOM, WAITING FOR PEOPLE

TO ASK ME ABOUT IT.

>> James: AND NO ONE ASKED BUT IT, BECAUSE THE BIG BOOK JUST

LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING YOU BUY IN A GIFT STORE AT UNIVERSAL

STUDIOS.

>> YOU'RE NOT WRONG.

>> James: SO THE ONLY WAY TO DO IT IS DISPLAY IT OPEN IN SOME

SORT OF GLASS CABINET.

>> YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, LIKE THE BOOK OF-- .

>> James: YEAH, BECAUSE UP UNTIL THAT MOMENT IT IS NOTHING

TO REALLY ASK ABOUT, BUT EVERYONE WILL NOW Z.

>> JAMES, YOU ALWAYS KEEP IT REAL WITH ME, AND I APPRECIATE

IT.

>> James: BUT THANK YOU FOR SHARING THAT.

WHAT IS AN INCREDIBLE THING.

>> IT'S IN MY OFFICE NOW BUT STRAIGHT UNDER IT, I FOUND THIS,

OUR INTO THE WOODS-- AND I COULDN'T HELP BUT BRING IT OUT.

SO A SCRIPT FOR INTO THE WOODS.

>> James: I HAVE ALSO GOT ONE OF THOSE FOR YOU, SIGNED BY J.K.

RAWLING, SO THERE YOU GO.

REGGIE, REGGIE, DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION FOR ANY OF OUR GUESTS

THIS EVENING.

>> Reggie: YES.

TONIGHT'S QUESTION GOES TO, MISS KENDRICK.

ALL RIGHT, GET READY FOR TONIGHT'S HOTTEST QUESTION.

SO YOU'RE IN A HOUSE, YOU'RE IN A ROOM AND THE ROOM IS DIMLY

LIT.

THERE IS A DOOR IN THE ROOM THAT YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN THROUGH, BUT

YOU SEE A SUBTLE GLOWING LIGHT UNDERNEATH IT.

IF YOU WERE TO GO TO THAT DOOR AND OPEN IT, WHAT DO YOU THINK

YOU WOULD FIND?

>> I WOULD GO TO THE GLOWING DOOR AND OPEN IT, I THINK IT

WOULD OPEN TO THIS VOID THAT I AM FILMING IN AND THERE WILL BE

A REALITY SHOW CALLED THE VOID AND-- WOULD SING TO ME AND I T

WOULD HAVE TO SING-- .

>> James: LET'S SEE WHAT THAT WOULD FEEL LIKE, REGGIE, YOU ARE

A CONTESTANT ON THE VOICE, GIVE US THE WORST SINGING, YOU ARE

THE JUDGE, WE'LL BOTH BE THE JUDGE, SO WELCOME TO THE VOICE.

EVERYBODY WANTS TO LOVE IT.

♪ EVERY TIME I AM HERE.

>> James: ANNA KENDRICK, EVERYBODY, WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK

WITH ALANIS MORISSETTE.

♪ ♪ ♪

♪ ♪ ♪

>> WELCOME BACK, OUR NEXT GUEST ASK A SEVEN TIME GRAMMY

AWARD-WINNING SINGER-SONGWRITER ABOUT TO RELEASE A BRAND NEW

ALBUM NEXT MONTH, WHAT AN HONOR TO HAVE THE INCREDIBLY TALENTED

ALANIS MORISSETTE JOIN US, HOW ARE YOU?

>> I'M REALLY WELL, HOW ARE YOU.

>> James: I'M VERY WELL, HOW ARE YOU DOING.

>> YOU KNOW, DEPENDS WHEN YOU CATCH ME, TRYING TO HOLD IT

TOGETHER.

>> James: I CONSIDER HOLDING IT TOGETHER A REAL PLUS POINT

RIGHT BOW.

>> A FUNCTIONAL ROLLER COASTER.

>> James: NOW HOW HAVE YOU BEEN DOING AM YOU HAVE YOUNG

CHILDREN AT HOME.

HOW HAVE YOU BEEN COPING WITH THE HOMESCHOOLING DURING THIS

LOCKDOWN?

WHAT IS ALANIS MORISSETTE'S TAKE ON ALL OF THIS.

>> WE WERE ALREADY UNSCHOOLING,.

>> James: WHAT DOES UNSCHOOLING MEAN.

I FEEL LIKE I DID A LOT OF UNSCHOOLING WHEN I WAS NINE.

>> THERE ARE PROBABLY DIFFERENT INTERPRETATIONS.

>> James: WHAT DOES UNSCHOOLING ME.

>> THE SANCTIONED ONE IS HOW WE DO T I THINK EVERYONE DOES IT A

LITTLE DIFFERENTLY BUT UNSCHOOLING IS VERY CHILD-LEAD,

NOT IN THAT THEY ARE IN CHARGE IN AN INAPPROPRIATE WAY BUT MORE

THAT THEIR PROCLIFFIC-- PROCLIVITIES, THEIR

CURIOSITIES, IT IS MOSTLY MAKING SURE THERE IS PHYSICAL, SOME

SOCIAL INTERACTIVE, SOME ELEMENT OF HELPING THE CHILDREN NAVIGATE

THE INNER LANDSCAPE OF THEIR FEELINGS AND THEIR THOUGHTS.

MUSICAL INTELLIGENCE, SPACE INTELLIGENCE, DESIGN, SO WE KEEP

THAT IN THE BACK OF OUR MINDSK MY HUSBAND AND I.

AND WHEN WE NOTICE WE HAVEN'T BEEN OUTSIDE, IT TAKE THE

PRESSURE OFF US, ALTHOUGH THE ONLY CAV YET I WOULD SAY THAT IT

IS A 24/7 THING.

SO IT IS A VERY ODD CONCEPT.

>> James: I'M INTO THIS, I AM NOW REALIZING I UNSCHOOLED

MYSELF, A LOT OF MY LIFE.

I UNSCHOOLED.

>> WELL, UNSCHOOLING IS CONTINUED EDUCATION, RESPECT FOR

EDUCATION, MY PARENTS ARE BOTH TEACHERS, I LOVE LEARNING EVERY

DAY, IF I DON'T LEARN SOMETHING EVERY DAY I FEEL OFF.

SO IT IS NOT THAT WE ARE NOT LEARN NGHT UNSCHOOLING WORLD, IT

IS JUST WE A ARE APPROACHING IT DIFFERENTLY.

>> James: I WOULD LOVE TO TALK TO YOU MORE ABOUT THIS.

BUT LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS, BECAUSE THIS MONTH, THIS MONTH

WE'RE IN MARKS THE 25th ANNIVERSARY OF JAGGED LEG PILL.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT WAS 25 YEARS AGO.

ARE YOU AT ALL SURPRISED LOOKING BACK NOW AT THE IMPACT OF THAT

ALBUM AND HOW THAT ALBUM HAS HELD OUT JUST IN THE LAST SORT

OF YEAR OR SO, YOU KNOW, THAT IS THE SONG IN LADY BIRD, IN BOOK

SMART, ARE YOU SHOCKED ABOUT HOW THE ALBUM HAS REMAINED RELEVANT?

>> I'M FIRST OF ALL FOR TEU TUS BECAUSE CAN I PERFORMANCE

WITHOUT CRINGING.

THE OTHER IS THAT I THINK WHAT WOULD HAPPENED UNBEKNOWNST TO

ME, IS WHILE I WAS WRITING ABOUT MY OWN HUMAN EXPERIENCE, ITS

WITH GIVING PER MISSION SOME WAYS TO THOSE LISTENING TO IT TO

HAVE THEIR OWN HUMAN EXPERIENCE AND NOT APOLOGIZE FOR BEING

FABULOUS OR DEPRESSION OR ANYTHING, I THINK IT JUST SAID

IT IS OKAY.

>> James: NOW YOUR NEW ALBUM WHICH IS YOU WILL KAD SUCH

PLELTEE FORK IN THE ROAD IS OUT IN JULY, YOU HAVE THREE CHILDREN

IN YOUR LIFE RIT NOW.

HOW HAVE THE CHANGES IN YOUR LIFE TODAY CHANGED YOUR

RECORDING PROCESS FROM WHAT IT USED TO BE.

>> IT USED TO BE MORE PARTICULAR, IF I WAS IN THE

BOOTH AND SOMEONE MOVED I WOULD BE LIKE STOP, STOP.

I CAN'T-- NOW HAVE I A CHILD ON MYñr HEAD, ANOTHER FEEDING,

FINISHING A QUICK DINNER, JUST RECORD IT YOU WANT TO REHEARSE,

NO, JUST RECORD AND-- SO IT IS ALL VERY INTEGRATE, IT IS LIKE A

CIRCUS BUT IT STILL GETS DONE SHOW.

I THINK THE MULTITASKING HAS TURNED INTO MULTIPLE SINGLE

FOCUS TAX.

IT IS NOT THAT I AM JUST AWARE OF-- IT IS MORE THAT I AM

FOCUSED ON SO MANY THINGS TO THE POINT THAT I GET A LITTLE

OVERSTIMULATED AND MY POOR HUSBAND HAS TO DO-- I AM IN THE

MIDDLE OF ALL KINDS OF PERFECT STORMS AND KNOW, I AM EITHER

CRYING OR RAGING OR I AM NUMB OR CHECKING OUT OR TRYING TO BE THE

BEST MOM I CAN BE IN THE MOMENT HOLDING IT TOGETHER.

I HAVE IT EASY.

SO I JUST HAVE A LOT OF EMPATHY FOR WHAT IS GOING ON AROUND THE

WORLD.

>> WHEN WE TALK ON THE SHOW ON MONDAY, REGGIE, I DON'T EVEN

KNEW IF YOU KNEW, ON MONDAY WHEN WE WERE TALKING, YOU WERE SAYING

I GO IN AND OUT.

I GO IN AND OUT A LOT.

AND THAT IS I THINK THE BEST WAY THAT YOU CAN SUM IT UP REALLY IS

YOU ARE IN AND THEN YOU ARE OUT.

>> YES.

>> AND WE'RE ALL ANIMALS, RIGHT, AND THAT IS A PART OF WHAT WE

ARE BEING ASKED IS TO RAISE, WE ARE IN IF SOMETIMES WE ARE

REACTING, NOT LETTING THIS FRONTAL CORTEX HELP US.

THAT IS WHAT DISTING BISHES US, WHEN I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF FEAR,

CAN I KEUNT ON THIS TO GO WAIT A MINUTE, LET'S-- THE CHALLENGE

RIGHT NOW ON ALL OF THESE CHALLENGING DIFFICULT

CIRCUMSTANCES IS TO REMEMBER THE FACT THAT WE HAVE THIS, THAT WE

CAN CONJURE IT WHEN WE CAN BUT WHEN WE ARE IN FIGHT, FRIGHT OR

FREEZE, QUESTIONING WHAT THE NEW NORMAL WILL BE, IT SUNDAY

STANDABLE WHENEVER YOU TEST IT WE WILL BE IN SOME DIFFERENT

STATE.

WE ARE SUBJECT TO ALL THE NERVOUSNESS, THE PATHETIC

HEARTBEAT, CLENCHED CHEST.

SOME PEOPLE ARE PUTTING PRESSURE ON THEMSELVES, TO BE PRODUCTIVE

DURING A TIME WHERE ST INAPPROPRIATE TO NOT HAVE TO DO

ANYTHING RIGHT NOW.

WE DON'T HAVE TO SHOW UP, IF THERE WERE TO BE A REQUEST THAT

I WOULD MAKE MYSELF OR ANYBODY IT WOULD BE SURVEILLANCE.

, FROM DIFFERENT ANIMAL WES CAN CONNECT WITH EACH OTHER, LOOK

DIFFERENT, IF WE SOUND DIFFERENT F WE HAVE DIFFERENT EXCEPTIONS,

WE CAN REALLY CONNECT.

I THINK WHAT IS MOST NEEDED RIGHT NOW IS TO EVOLVE THIS

CONSCIOUSNESS TO REMEMBER WE ARE CONNECTED ON A SPIRITUAL LEVEL

NO MATTER WHAT WE ARE LOOKING LIKE, HOW OLD WE ARE.

>> James: ABSOLUTELY, WILL YOU PERFORM A BRAND NEW SONG RIGHT

HERE WHEN WE COME BACK.

AFTER THE BREAK.

SO YOU GET READY FOR THAT AND WE'LL BE BACK WITH MORE "LATE,
