>> JAMES: GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE!

I'M JAMES CORDEN AND WELCOME TO PEP BOYS.

OIL AND FILTER CHANGE TODAY?

SORRY, I'VE BEEN IN THIS GARAGE TOO LONG.

I FIGURE I MIGHT AS WELL START, YOU KNOW, DOING BOTH.

REG, HOW ARE YOU?

BAND, EVERYBODY GOOD?

THREE MONTHS WE HAVE BEEN DOING THIS.

AND REG STILL CAN'T WORK OUT HOW TO TAKE THE MIC OFF MUTE.

>> Reggie: HI.

( LAUGHTER ) >> James: HOW'S THE REST OF

THE BAND.

EVERYONE GOOD?

>> WE'RE WONDERFUL.

OH, YEAH.

>> James: TIM, WERE THESE BALLOONS THERE YESTERDAY?

( LAUGHTER ) >> YEAH, THREE MONTHS AND I

CAN'T STILL FIGURE OUT HOW TO UNMUTE MYSELF EITHER.

>> James: OH, MY GOD.

IT'S GOING VERY WELL.

IT'S LOVELY TO SEE ALL OF YOU AND YOUR SHINING BRIGHT FACES

TONIGHT.

WE'RE GOING TO TALK TO THE LEGENDARY KEVIN BACON LATER ON.

LATER ON WE'LL HAVE A SPECIAL MUSICAL PERFORMANCE FROM THE

ICONIC RITA WILSON.

TWO FANTASTIC GUESTS, ONE GREAT SHOW.

I COULD NOT BE MORE EXCITED.

BUT FIRST, HERE'S A FEW JUST FOR YOU.

THIS IS "THREE THINGS."

S THREE THINGS S REGGIE, SHOULD WE START WIT

-- GIVE ME A NUMBER.

>> REGGIE: ONE.

>> JAMES: NUMBER ONE.

NOW, AS MUCH AS I TRY TO TUNE OUT EVERYTHING TRUMP SAYS IN HIS

PRESS CONFERENCES, HE THREW OUT A WHOPPER TODAY.

>> THESE ARE THE PEOPLE, THE BEST, THE SMARTEST, THE MOST

BRILLIANT ANYWHERE, AND THEY'VE COME UP WITH THE AIDS VACCINE.

THEY'VE COME UP WITH -- OR THE AIDS AND, AS YOU KNOW, THERE'S

VARIOUS THINGS AND VARIOUS COMPANIES ARE INVOLVED.

>> James: AN AIDS VACCINE!

WAIT UNTIL THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY HEARS THE GOOD NEWS!

ALL RIGHT, THIS IS JUST OCCURRING TO ME BUT, I... DON'T

THINK TRUMP KNOWS WHAT THE WORD VACCINE MEANS?

ACCORDING TO TRUMP, MOST DISEASES CAN EASILY BE CURED

WITH A STRICT REGIMEN OF "IGNORE IT, IT'LL GO AWAY."

TO BE CLEAR, THERE ARE TREATMENTS FOR H.I.V., BUT THERE

IS NO AIDS VACCINE.

MUCH LIKE DRINKING RED WINE IS A TREATMENT FOR A TRUMP

PRESIDENCY, BUT WILL NOT MAKE YOU IMMUNE.

BUT WHO BETTER TO GIVE HEALTH ADVICE THAN A PRESIDENT ABOUT TO

HOLD A 20,000-PERSON RALLY WITH NO MASKS IN THE MIDDLE OF A

PANDEMIC?

FORTUNATELY, THE DEMOCRATS ARE LOOKING FOR A TRUMP VACCINE, AND

WITH ANY LUCK WE'RE A FEW MONTHS FROM IT BEING WIDELY AVAILABLE.

I CAN'T EMPHASIZE ENOUGH, YOU SHOULD NOT TAKE MEDICAL OR ANY

OTHER ADVICE FROM PRESIDENT TRUMP.

HE IS NOT A DOCTOR, IN SPITE OF HIS--

>> JAMES: REGGIE, WHAT'S NEXT?

-- >> VERY, VERY LARGE BRAIN.

>> James: WRECKY, WHAT'S NEXT?

>> REGGIE: NUMBER TWO.

>> JAMES: NUMBER TWO.

LET'S FACE IT, BEING IN LOCKDOWN CAN GET MONOTONOUS, AND

SOMETIMES WE COULD ALL USE A LITTLE MORE EXCITEMENT.

BUT NOT TOO MUCH.

( ( HORN HONKS )

( SCREAM ) THAT SCREAM SOUNDED FAMILIAR.

OH, THAT'S RIGHT.

REGGIE, SHOULD WE GO ABSOLUTELY NUTS AND DO ONE MORE?

>> REGGIE: NUMBER THREE.

>> JAMES: NUMBER THREE.

WHILE MOST OF US HAVE SPENT A GOOD AMOUNT OF TIME IN LOCKDOWN

CLEANING OUR HOUSES, AND EVEN MORE TIME COMPLAINING ABOUT

CLEANING OUR HOUSES, ONE MAN HAS TURNED HOUSEHOLD CHORES INTO--

I'M JUST GOING TO SAY IT-- THE SONG OF THE SUMMER.

THE ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT TODRICK HALL, WHO YOU MIGHT KNOW FROM

HIS ROLES IN "KINKY BOOTS," "CHICAGO," AND "WAITRESS" ON

BROADWAY, HIS WORK AS A CHOREOGRAPHER AND JUDGE ON

"RUPAUL'S DRAG RACE," AND MOST RECENTLY ON THE COVER OF THIS

MONTH'S BILLBOARD MAGAZINE HE'S JOINING US NOW, WELCOME

TODRICK HALL.

HOW ARE YOU?

>> Reggie: I'M GOOD NOW AFTER THAT EPIC ICONIC INTRODUCTION.

>> James: IF YOU'VE GOT AN EPIC ICON, YOU'VE GOT TO GIVE

THEM AN EPIC ICONIC INTRODUCTION.

>> I CAN'T TAKE IT!

>> James: THERE'S SO MUCH TO CALCULATE YOU ON.

FIRST, THIS COVER IS SO BRILLIANT AND I THINK INCREDIBLY

SYMBOLIC.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR YOU TO BE ON THE COVER OF BILLBOARD

MAGAZINE CELEBRATING PRIDE THIS YEAR?

>> THIS YEAR MORE THAN EVER, THIS IS THE TIME -- I CAN'T

THINK OF A TIME BETTER FOR ME, AN OPENLY GAY, OPENLY BLACK --

AS IF I CAN'T BE OPENLY BLACK -- FOR ME TO BE ON THE COVER OF

THIS MAGAZINE MEANS SO MUCH, CELEBRATING MY FEMININE AND

MASCULINE SIDE IS SO AWESOME.

I'M SO GRATEFUL.

>> James: I THINK THIS PRIDE BILLBOARD IS INCREDIBLE PAGE TO

PAGE.

YOU WERE NAMED 2020 PRIDE PROM KING -- PROM QUEEN AND KING.

( LAUGHTER ) AND YOU'RE HEADLINING H.B.O.'S

TEN-DAY VIRTUAL PRIDE CELEBRATION THAT BEGINS ON

JUNE 18th.

WHAT DO YOU HAVE PLANNED FOR VIRTUAL PRIDE?

>> I TURNED MY LIVING ROOM WHICH IS ALREADY AN EXPERIENCE IN AND

OF TSELF INTO KIND OF A LIKE SEMISMALL POLYPOCKET VERSION OF

AN ARENA STAGE.

I HAD AN L.E.D. WALL IN HERE AND TWO DANCERS, COMPLETE WITH

MASKS.

I DID FOUR COSTUME CHANGES, IT WAS REALLY FUN AND I'M SO

EXCITED FOR PEOPLE TO SEE IT.

>> James: I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT.

YOU'VE SET THE BAR PRETTY HIGH FOR VIRTUAL EVENTS, SO I THINK

THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF EXPECTATION ABOUT THIS.

I'VE NOTICED YOUR SWEATER.

HAS THIS BEEN MADE FOR ME?

>> I THINK WE NEEDED TO CREATE A NAME BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN ON YOUR

SHOW FOR A WHILE.

IT WILL EITHER BE AN ICONIC DUO OR MUSICAL OR SOMETHING AT SOME

POINT.

I'LL SEND YOU ONE OF THESE IN THE MAIL.

>> James: I WOULD WEAR IT WITH ABSOLUTE PRIDE.

I LOVE IT.

TODRICK, EVERY SINGLE STAFFER ON OUR SHOW SINCE QUARANTINE HAS

BEGAN HAS BEEN OBSESSED WITH "MASKS, GLOVES, SOAPS, SCRUBS"

WHICH IS ON YOUR NEW D.V.D.

THAT'S WHAT HIS BEDROOM LOOKS LIKE.

YOU ARE EQUALLY FABULOUS, JUDGING FROM YOUR ROOM, DETAIL,

COSTUME CHANGES, STRIPPING OF THE MASK, I LOVED IT, THE

CHOREOGRAPHY, YOUR SPRAY TECHNIQUE WAS GREAT, LOOKED LIKE

YOU HIT UP A GYM OFTEN, STRONG IN HOW YOU WERE HOLDING THAT

WELL DONE CARTER, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

WE EXPECTED NOTHING LESS.

ALL RIGHT.

LET'S GO TO OUR NEXT CONTESTANT.

THIS IS JIM.

JIM MAKES SURE THAT EVERYTHING WE SHOOT IN THE GARAGE ENDS UP

>> James: WELCOME BACK.

OUR FIRST GUEST IS AN OUTSTANDING GOLDEN GLOBE-WINNING

ACTOR AND MUSICIAN AND ONE OF THE COOLEST PEOPLE ON THE

PLANET.

THE BEAUTIFUL MR. KEVIN BACON!

HI, KEVIN.

HOW ARE YOU?

GOOD TO SEE YOU, MAN.

>> James: SO NICE TO SEE YOU.

HOW YOU HOLDING UP DURING WHAT HAS BEEN THE CRAZIEST YEAR ON

PLANET EARTH?

>> I'M HOLDING UP EXCELLENTLY WELL.

I WAKE UP EVERY DAY AND FEEL A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF GRATITUDE

FOR THE FACT THAT I HAVE A ROOF OVER MY HEAD AND FOOD TO EAT AND

THAT MY WIFE AND I ARE TOGETHER AND FEELING HEALTHY.

I WOULD BE REMISS NOT TO SAY HOW INCREDIBLY INSPIRED I AM BY

THESE YOUNG PEOPLE WHO ARE OUT THERE MARCHING AND, YOU KNOW,

PROTESTING FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE AND FOR "BLACK LIVES MATTER,"

IT'S REALLY KIND OF INSPIRING, AND I REMEMBER A VERY SHORT TIME

AGO LOOKING AT THAT GENERATION AND THINKING, WELL, YOU KNOW,

THEY'RE TOO INTO THEIR PHONES, OR THEY REALLY JUST WANT TO BE

ON INSTAGRAM, THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT THE THINGS I CARED ABOUT

WHEN I WAS THAT AGE AND HAVING, YOU KNOW, LIVED THROUGH VIETNAM

AND, YOU KNOW, THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT AND THE WOMEN'S

MOVEMENT AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF.

I REALLY SAW THIS GENERATION SHORT, I THINK.

>> James: I THINK LOTS OF PEOPLE DID.

>> MY APOLOGIES, AND GOOD ON YOU AND KEEP IT UP.

>> James: NOW, YOU SAID YOU WERE WITH YOUR WIFE KYRA.

YOU HAVE BEEN MARRIED 30 YEARS.

YOU TWO ARE CONSTANTLY BUSY WORKING.

IS THIS THE MOST TIME YOU'VE SPENT TOGETHER UNDER ONE ROOF IN

ONE SOLID BLOCK OF TIME?

>> I THINK SO.

>> James: HOW'S THAT BEEN?

IT'S BEEN GOOD FOR THE MOST PART.

YOU KNOW, I MEAN, WE'RE PEOPLE THAT WE'VE ALWAYS FELT LIKE ONE

OF THE THINGS THAT'S MADE OUR MARRIAGE LAST IS THE FACT THAT

WE BOTH HAVE SUITCASES PACKED AND READY TO GO, YOU KNOW.

WE ARE VAGABONDS, AND A LOT OF TIME THE VAGABOND NATURE OF OUR

LIVES SEPARATES US FROM EACH OTHER.

BUT THAT'S GONE OUT THE WINDOW, BUT I GET UP PROBABLY ABOUT, YOU

KNOW, AN HOUR OR SO BEFORE HER AND HAVE MY COFFEE, READ THE

PAPER AND STUFF, AND SHE COMES DOWNSTAIRS, AND I REALIZED

SOMETHING ABOUT HER THAT I DIDN'T REALLY MAYBE UNDERSTAND

QUITE AS SPECIFICALLY AND THAT IS THAT SHE REALLY, REALLY LIKES

TO CHANGE HER CLOTHES, AND I REALLY DON'T LIKE TO CHANGE MY

CLOTHES THAT MUCH.

>> James: YEAH.

YOU KNOW, I SOMETIMES THINK I'M IN THE WRONG PROFESSION

BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE TO GET INTO MULTIPLE COSTUMES IN

THE COURSE OF ONE DAY.

THAT'S ALWAYS KIND OF A PAIN IN THE ASS TO ME.

BUT KYRA COMES DOWN IN THE MORNING AND SHE'S GOT ON THE

KIND OF SLEEPWARE AND SHE KICKS OFF THE DAY LIKE THAT, AND THEN

SHE MOVES TO AN EXERCISE OUTFIT AFTER COFFEE BECAUSE SHE DOES

EXERCISE.

I HEAR CRAZY JUMPING AROUND, THE FLOORS GOING LIKE THIS, AND I

DON'T KNOW WHAT SHE'S DOING.

THEN SHE SAYS, WELL, I'VE GOT TO GET OUT TO MY EXERCISE THING AND

GET TO MORE -- IT'S ALMOST LIKE BUSINESS ATTIRE FOR THE DAY.

IT'S THE DAY'S BUSINESS ATTIRE.

I'M THE ONLY ONE SEEING THIS, LET'S BE CLEAR ABOUT THAT.

>> James: NOTHING ELSE TO SEE, YEAH.

>> EXCEPT FOR THE OCCASIONAL ZOOM WHERE IT'S ONLY, LIKE, FROM

HERE UP.

I CAME IN THE OTHER DAY AND IT WAS THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY, AND

SHE WAS IN THESE, LIKE, KIND OF FAUX LEOPARD SKIN PUMPS, AND SHE

WAS STANDING IN THE KITCHEN WITH A FLYSWATTER FLY HUNTING, AND

SHE'S A VERY GOOD FLY HUNTER, BY THE WAY, SHE'S GOT A VERY STRONG

PREY INSTINCT.

SHE WAS THERE JUST KILLING THEM LEFT AND RIGHT IN THIS REALLY,

LIKE, AMAZING OUTFIT.

>> James: IT'S THE EXACT SAME THING IS HAPPENING IN OUR HOUSE.

THE EXACT SAME, MINUS THE FLY SWATTING, IT'S EXACTLY THE SAME.

>> YEAH.

>> James: LET'S TALK ABOUT YOUR MOVIE "YOU SHOULD HAVE

LEFT."

IT'S AN INTERESTING STORY.

TELL THEM WHAT IT'S ABOUT AND WHO YOU PLAY.

>> I PLAY A GUY WHO HAS SOME QUESTIONABLE STUFF IN THE PAST

WHICH WE DON'T REALLY LEARN ABOUT AND HE'S MARRIED TO A

WOMAN WHO'S WAY TOO YOUNG FOR HIM PLAYED BY THE AMAZING AMANDA

SAFREY, AND SHE'S AN ACTRESS.

I HAVE SOME NAGGING DOUBTS ABOUT OUR RELATIONSHIP.

IT SEEMS ON THE SURFACE IT'S GREAT, SHE SEEMS TO LOVE ME,

WE'VE GOT A BEAUTIFUL 7-YEAR-OLD LITTLE GIRL, BUT, YOU KNOW, A

GENERATIONAL THING, SHE SPENDS A LOT OF TIME ON HER PHONE WHICH I

DON'T REALLY DO AND I'M WONDERING WHO SHE'S TEXTING AND

WHAT'S GOING ON THERE, AND SHE'S AN ACTRESS SO SHE HAS TO GO TO

THE SET, BE IN INTIMATE SCENES WITH PEOPLE.

SO THERE'S A NAGGING DOUBT WHERE I'M KIND OF THINKING TO MYSELF

DOES SHE REALLY WANT TO BE WITH ME?

I'M SOMEONE WHO'S NO LONGER AT MY SEXUAL POWER OR, YOU KNOW,

I'M GETTING ON, AS IT WERE.

AND WE DECIDE TO GO ON A VACATION BEFORE SHE'S GOING TO

START A BIG JOB, AND WE GET A KIND OF AIRBNB HOUSE IN WALES,

AND THE HOUSE -- TO SAY WE MADE A BAD CHOICE IN PICKING THIS

HOUSE WOULD BE THE UNDERSTATEMENT.

>> James: YOU'VE SHOT QUITE A FEW THRILLERS AND HORROR MOVIES

IN YOUR CAREER.

I'M WONDERING WHAT IT'S LIKE, WHEN YOU'RE SHOOTING A HORROR

FILM OR A THRILLER, BECAUSE IF YOU'RE DOING A COMEDY, YOU WILL

FINISH A TAKE AND THE DIRECTOR WILL GO, OH, THAT WAS REALLY

FUNNY.

WHEN YOU'RE SHOOTING A HORROR FILM, DO PEOPLE GO, WHOO!

THAT WAS A SCARY TAKE!

THAT FELT SCARY THERE.

WERE YOU SCARED?

I FELT SCARED.

>> NO, IT'S REALLY -- I'VE GOT TO SAY THAT DOES NOT HAPPEN VERY

OFTEN.

BUT I CAN TELL YOU THAT IT DOES EAT AWAY AT YOUR PSYCHE A LITTLE

BIT.

>> James: IN WHAT WAY?

WELL, IF YOU'RE ALL DAY SPENDING YOUR DAY TRYING TO

THROW YOURSELF EMOTIONALLY INTO A FEELING OF TERROR OR THREAT OR

DARKNESS OR GHOSTS OR WHATEVER IT IS, SOMETIMES YOUR DREAMS

BECOME REALLY KIND OF INTENSE.

I WAS DOING A HORROR MOVIE.

THE HORROR MOVIE WAS KIND OF A FUN, SILLY HORROR MOVIE CALLED

TREMORS, AND IT WAS ABOUT ME BATTLING THESE UNDERGROUND

WORMS.

BUT AT THE MOMENT THAT I WAS DOING IT, MY WIFE WAS EIGHT

MONTHS PREGNANT, ABOUT TO HAVE OUR FIRST CHILD, AND THERE WERE

A LOT OF THINGS GOING ON IN MY HEAD ABOUT MY FEARS OF HAVING TO

GROW UP, PROVIDE ANOTHER PERSON, AND THIS CAREER, THIS LIFE, ALL

KINDS OF STUFF THAT WAS ROLLING AROUND MY HEAD, AND I WAS SLEEP

WALKING QUITE A BIT, AND I WOULD PICK HER UP.

KEEP IN MIND, SHE'S EIGHT MONTHS PREGNANT.

I WOULD CARRY HER OUT OF THE HOUSE THAT WE WERE RENTING AND

OUT INTO THE STREET, AND SHE WOULD STOP ME AND SAY, HONEY,

YOU'RE ASLEEP.

NO, I HAVE TO -- YOU KNOW, THEY'RE COMING FOR US!

I WAS REALLY LIKE A LUNATIC.

THE COMBINATION OF WHAT I WAS HAVING TO DO AS AN ACTOR DURING

THE DAY AND WHAT I WAS EXPERIENCING COMING UP IN MY

LIFE TURNED INTO A PERFECT STORM.

>> James: TALKING ABOUT TAKING YOUR WORK HOME, INCREDIBLE.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT A CLIP FROM "YOU SHOULD HAVE LEFT," WHICH IS

AVAILABLE ON V.O.D. THIS THURSDAY.

>> HEY, YOU GOT TO GET TO SLEEP, SWEETIE.

>> BUT THERE WAS A SHADOW ON THE WALL.

>> I KNOW IT'S FUN, BUT IT'S TIME TO SLEEP.

OKAY.

COME ON, SCOOCH DOWN, SCOOCH DOWN.

ALL THE WAY!

GRAB BUNNY!

OKAY.

GOOD NIGHT.

>> CAN YOU TURN OFF MY LIGHT, PLEASE.

>> OFF?

YES.

SURE?

YES.

OKAY.

ANNOUNCEMENTS DURING QUARANTINE, WHICH IS RITA WILSON IS WORKING

ON A SONG WITH NAUGHTY BY NATURE.

( LAUGHTER ) HOW DID THIS COLLABORATION OF

MAKING "HIP HOP HOORAY" COME AROUND?

>> OKAY, FIRST OF ALL, IT'S INSANITY, FOR SURE, BUT WHEN I

WAS RECOVERING FROM CORONAVIRUS, I HAD A LITTLE BIT OF A BRAIN

FOG AND I HAD DONE A MOVIE CALLED "BOY GENIUS" AND HAD TO

LEARN "HIP HOP HOORAY," THE NAUGHTY BY NATURE SONG, FOR THE

MOVIE, AND IT TOOK ME, LIKE, A MONTH TO LEARN IT BECAUSE IT'S

LIKE TRYING TO LEARN SHAKESPEARE WHEN YOU'RE FRENCH AND YOU DON'T

SPEAK ENGLISH, IT WAS SO COMPLETELY CRAZY.

SO I THOUGHT, WELL, MAYBE I CAN STILL REMEMBER THAT.

SO I GOT IT OUT AND I WAS, TO MY SURPRISE, I COULD REMEMBER MOST

OF IT.

SO I THOUGHT, WELL, I'LL JUST PUT THIS ON THE, YOU KNOW,

INSTAGRAM AND SEE IF, YOU KNOW -- IT WILL BE A WAY TO LET

PEOPLE KNOW I'M FEELING OKAY AND THAT NOTHING IS REALLY WRONG AND

I'M FINE.

AND I PUT IT ON AND THEN, YOU KNOW, WENT TO BED BECAUSE WE

WERE IN AUSTRALIA, AND THE NEXT MORNING WOKE UP TO THIS

INSANITY.

BUT THE BEST PART ABOUT IT WAS THAT NAUGHTY BY NATURE SAW IT

DO SOMETHING IN LAMB L.A. THAT MY D -- IN LOS ANGELES THAT MY

SON WANTS TO DO BUT I'VE ALWAYS BEEN NERVOUS, YOU ARE A FAN OF A

CAMPING TRIP.

>> OH, YES, LOVE IT.

>> James: DO YOU ACTUALLY CAMP OR IS THIS SOME KIND OF

HOLLYWOOD, GLAMOROUS GLAMPING EXPERIENCE?

>> WE'VE DONE BOTH VERSIONS OF IT.

>> James: OKAY.

ONE OF THE CAMPING TRIPS I LOVE IS ACTUALLY A RIVER RAFTING

TRIP WHICH IS SUPER FUN, AND THAT ONE I WOULD SAY TENDED TO

BE LIKE A HYBRID OF GLAMPING AND, YOU KNOW, HARD CORE.

SO WHAT I LOVED ABOUT THAT, THOUGH, WAS THAT, YOU KNOW, WHEN

YOU GO ON A CAMPING TRIP, YOU THINK THAT YOU'VE GOT YOUR GEAR.

ALL YOU REALLY NEED IS A GOOD, SOLID, WARM SLEEPING BAG AND

PARKA AND SOMETHING TO COVER YOUR EARS, BUT I SHOWED UP AND

PEOPLE HAD GEAR, YOU KNOW, LIKE THEY HAD TEAR-AWAY PANTS SO THAT

IF YOU WANTED TO JUST RIP OFF YOUR PANTS AND HAVE YOUR SHORTS

UNDERNEATH AND GO IN THE WATER, YOU COULD.

AND I WAS, LIKE, WHAT?

HERE I AM TRYING TO GET OUT, NOT STEP ON BUGS AND GET MY LEGS OUT

OF MY PANTS AND PUT ON A BATHING SUIT.

PEOPLE HAVE IT DOWN.

I DON'T HAVE THE WHOLE THING DOWN.

>> James: YEAH, THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT I WORRY ABOUT WITH

CAMPING.

I ALWAYS LIKE THE STILL IMAGE, BUT IT'S THE ACTUAL MOVIE I'M

NOT SURE ABOUT.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

NOW, I WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THE SONG YOU'RE PERFORMING AFTER

THE BREAK.

WHERE'S MY COUNTRY SONG.

TELL ME ABOUT THE SONG BECAUSE IT'S GOT A WONDERFUL MESSAGE.

>> THANK YOU.

WELL, IT WAS -- I REALLY WANTED TO WRITE THIS SONG.

I WROTE IT WITH LEE DEWISE WHO WON AMERICAN IDOL YEARS AGO, I'M

SURE YOUR VIEWERS WILL KNOW HIM.

I HAD THIS TITLE OF "WHERE'S MY COUNTRY SONG" BECAUSE IT WAS

REALLY ABOUT SO MANY OF THE WOMEN I KNEW THAT WERE EITHER

SINGLE MOTHERS, A BIT ABOUT MY MOFL BECAUSE SHE WAS A HOUSEWIFE

AND SHE COOKED AND CLEANED AND DID ALL THOSE AMAZING THINGS,

BUT THE SPOTLIGHT IS NEVER REALLY SHINING ON THOSE WOMEN.

I WANTED TO SING AND WRITE ABOUT THE WOMEN WHO ARE NOT

NECESSARILY OUT FRONT AND CENTER ALL THE TIME.

>> James: WHAT A WONDERFUL THING.

YOU'RE GOING TO PERFORM IT AFTER THIS BREAK WHEN WE STICK AROUND.
