WHO'S ONE OF MY FAVORITES OF ALL TIME

>> THAT ‐‐ IS THAT A TRICK QUESTION

>> Jimmy: NO, NO, I'M SORRY. BUT ‐‐ ARE ‐

WHO'S ‐‐ MUTUALLY, WHO IS ONE OF THE FIRST FEW PEOPLE WE

>> Jimmy: I LOVE RANDY NEWMAN. >> OH, MY GOSH

>> Jimmy: AND HE'S MY GUY. >> YEAH.

>> Jimmy: YEAH, I JUST ‐‐ I DON'T KNOW

WHAT A SHOW. ALL RIGHT.

LET'S GET TO SOME NEWS HERE. HERE WE GO

LET'S GET RIGHT TO IT. TODAY STARTED OFF WITH BIG NEWS FROM THE SUPREME COURT

>> WE HAVE BREAKING NEWS FROM THE SUPREME COURT.

IT IS A LANDMARK DECISION FOR THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY.

THE JUSTICES RULING THAT IT IS ILLEGAL FOR WORKERS TO BE

DISMISSED FROM A JOB BASED ON SEXUAL ORIENTATION AND GENDER

IDENTITY >> Jimmy: OH, MY GOSH.

OH, MY GOSH! IT'S 2020, I THOUGHT GOOD NEWS

WAS ILLEGAL. UNTIL THIS THE ONLY GOOD NEWS

TO COME OUT OF 2020 WAS BABY NUT.

YEAH, IT'S NOT THE OUTCOME THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION WANTED.

EXPERTS SAY IT'S THE MOST DAMAGING THING TO HAPPEN TO

TRUMP IN THE LAST ‐‐ EIGHT HOURS.

THE SPACE WORD FOR WATCH WEARING A WATCH.

PEOPLE USED TO WEAR TIMEPIECES YEP, THE DECISION PROTECTS GAY

AND TRANSGENDER WORKERS FROM DISCRIMINATION IN THE

WORKPLACE. UNFORTUNATELY THANKS TO TRUMP'S

HANDLING OF THE PANDEMIC, THERE IS NO WORKPLACE.

THE COURT DECIDED EMPLOYERS CAN'T FIRE WORKERS BASED ON

THEIR SEXUAL ORIENTATION OR GENDER IDENTITY.

THEY'LL HAVE TO STICK TO THE USUAL REASON WORKERS GET

FIRED ‐‐ NOT MUTING THEMSELVES ON ZOOM.

THE FINAL VOTE WAS 6‐3 WHEN HE HEARD THAT, TRUMP SAID,

"OKAY, WHAT ABOUT THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE?

YEP, IT'S A TOUGH DAY FOR THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION

WE'RE JUST ONE MORE "WILL & GRACE" REBOOT AWAY FROM

THIS BEING THE WORST DAY OF MIKE PENCE'S LIFE.

THE 6‐3 OPINION WAS WRITTEN BY TRUMP‐APPOINTED JUSTICE

NEIL GORSUCH

TRUMP PLANS ON PUNISHING GORSUCH BY VIOLENTLY SHAKING HIS HAND AGAIN

[ APPLAUSE ] >> Jimmy: WHAT'S HE DOING?

IT'S LIKE HE'S TRYING TO START A LAWN MOWER

THAT'S LIKE ‐‐ YOU KNOW WHO WOULD DO THOSE HANDSHAKES?

KRESKIN WOULD DO THAT WHEN HE CAME ON THE SHOW

AND I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT WAS PART OF THE TRICK OR SOMETHING

BECAUSE I GO, "NICE TO SEE YOU," AND YOU GO ‐‐ AND HE'D

SHAKE IT REALLY HARD AND YOU GO, "IS THIS PART OF THE ‐

DID HE JUST PUT SOMETHING ON MY BACK, BY DISTRACTING ME?

NO, IT'S JUST THE WAY HE SHOOK HANDS.

HI, KRESKIN. UM ‐

WELL, EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT THIS

EVERYBODY. OVER THE WEEKEND, PRESIDENT

TRUMP GAVE A COMMENCEMENT SPEECH AT WEST POINT BUT LOOKS

LIKE HE HAD SOME TROUBLE LEAVING. TAKE A LOOK.

>> YOU SEE HIM WALKING VERY HALTINGLY, ONE LEG AT A TIME

IT STARTS HAPPENING HERE DOWN A RAMP.

>> Jimmy: YEAH, APPARENTLY TRUMP WAS A LITTLE SENSITIVE

ABOUT THE INCIDENT, BECAUSE HE THEN TWEETED, "THE RAMP THAT I

DESCENDED WAS VERY LONG AND STEEP, HAD NO HAND RAIL AND

MOST IMPORTANTLY IT WAS VERY SLIPPERY

FINAL TEN FEET I RAN DOWN TO LEVEL GROUND

MOMENTUM!" YEAH, THAT'S ABOUT THE ONLY

MOMENTUM TRUMP HAS RIGHT NOW TEN FEET

THE LAST TEN FEET HE RAN OH, MY GOSH.

YOU KNOW, THERE'S SO MUCH TO SAY ABOUT THE RAMP VIDEO, AND I

JUST CAN'T PICK ONE JOKE SO I'M GOING TO TELL AS MANY

JOKES AS I CAN IN THE TIME IT TOOK TRUMP TO WALK DOWN THAT

RAMP YOU READY?

LET'S GO HE WAS JUST DOING AN IMPRESSION

OF HIS APPROVAL RATING [ DING ]

THAT WAS STILL FASTER THAN HIS RESPONSE TO THE CORONAVIRUS.

[ DING ] HE FIRST BROKE HIS ‐‐ HE BROKE

HIS FIRST FITBIT RECORD OF TEN STEPS.

[ DING ] HE LOOKED LIKE SKIER DOING

PIZZA INSTEAD OF FRENCH FRIES. [ DING ]

THAT'S AUDITION TAPE FOR "AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR.

[ DING ] IT WOULD BE FASTER IF HE SAT AT

THE TOP AND DID A BUTT SCOOCH DOWN

[ BUZZER OH

ALL RIGHT. I GOT SOME IN THERE.

I HAD A COUPLE MORE. WANT TO JUST TELL YA

>> MM‐HMM. >> Jimmy: HE STILL HASN'T

REALIZED IT'S NOT AN ESCALATOR [ LIGHT LAUGHTER ]

THAT'S RIGHT TRUMP SAID THAT THE RAMP HAD NO

HAND RAILS AND WAS VERY SLIPPERY

HE REALLY CAME DOWN HARD ON IT I DON'T KNOW IF HE'S GOING TO

LET IT GO. BUT CHECK OUT THIS NEW ATTACK AD HE JUST RELEASED.

COUNTRY. AN ENEMY OF THE STATE LIKE

WE'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE. THE RAMP

WE ALREADY KNOW THE RAMP IS TAKING JOBS FROM HARDWORKING

AMERICAN STAIRS. BUT WHO IS THE RAMP REALLY

A KNOWN MEMBER OF ANTIFA A FOREIGN AGENT?

OR A DEEP STATE LIBERAL ELITE? CAN WE STOP THE SPREAD, OR IS

IT ALREADY TOO LATE? PAID FOR BY AMERICANS AGAINST

RAMPS. >> Jimmy: YEAH, IT'S BEEN

A ROUGH FEW MONTHS FOR TRUMP BUT AT LEAST HIS FAMILY IS STICKING BY HIS SIDE

COMING OUT WITH A TELL‐ALL BOOK ABOUT HER FAMILY AND REVEALING

SHE HAS BEEN A KEY ANONYMOUS SOURCE FOR REPORTERS LOOKING

INTO THE PRESIDENT'S FINANCES. >> Jimmy: YEAH, OKAY, MAYBE

NOT. ANOTHER TRUMP TELL‐ALL BOOK.

IT'S CRAZY THAT AFTER ALL THESE TELL‐ALL BOOKS, THERE'S STILL

MORE TO TELL TRUMP'S TELL‐ALL BOOKS ARE

STARTING TO FEEL LIKE A 3:00 A. M. INFOMERCIAL.

"BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! OKAY, SO THE SUPREME COURT

RULED AGAINST HIM, THERE'S VIRAL VIDEO ABOUT HIM, AND A

A FAMILY MEMBER HAS TURNED ON HIM.

I'M SURE THERE COULDN'T POSSIBLY BE ANY OTHER BAD NEWS FOR TRUMP, RIGHT

>> THE FDA ANNOUNCED THAT IT IS ENDING THE EMERGENCY USE OF

HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE, AND CLOROQUINE, TO TREAT

CORONAVIRUS. >> Jimmy: TRUMP WAS LIKE, "THIS

IS RIDICULOUS. I'VE BEEN TAKING IT EVERY DAY

AND I FEEL COCONUT, TRICYCLE, WATERFALL.

TRUMP REMINDED THE FDA THAT IT ONLY WORKS ‐

[ LAUGHTER ] TRUMP REMINDED THE FDA THAT IT

ONLY WORKS WHEN YOU TAKE IT WITH A FULL GLASS OF BLEACH.

YEAH "WHO'S THE SCIENTIST NOW?"

WHAT AND FINALLY WITH EVERYTHING

GOING ON IN THE WORLD, PEOPLE ARE SHARING A LOT OF

INFORMATION ON HOW TO STAY SAFE

IT CAN ALL GET VERY CONFUSING. SO HERE TO ANSWER SOME

QUESTIONS IS THE PRESIDENT OF AMERICAN GUIDELINES, MR. NELSON FLEMING

>> Jimmy: MR NELSON FLEMING, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING

US >> GREAT TO BE HERE, JIMMY

>> Jimmy: THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT INFORMATION OUT THERE

ABOUT BEING SAFE DURING THIS TIME

CAN YOU HELP US SORT IT OUT? >> SURE THING.

WHILE PROTESTING, IT IS RECOMMENDED AND/OR REQUIRED

THAT ALL PEOPLE, WITH SOME EXCEPTIONS, WEAR FACIAL

COVERINGS OVER THEIR NOSE AND MOUTH.

IF YOU'RE AN ESSENTIAL WORKER, YOU MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE TO WEAR

A FACE MASK WHILE ALSO SHIELDING YOUR EYES.

GLOVES ARE NOT MANDATORY BUT CERTAIN AREAS MAY REQUIRE YOU

TO WEAR THEM, DEPENDING ON WHETHER YOUR EYES ARE SHIELDED

OR ONLY YOUR FACE. AND OF COURSE, IT IS IMPORTANT

TO REMAIN SIX FEET APART FROM OTHER PEOPLE, UNLESS IT ISN'T.

BUT, STAYING 20 FEET APART IS IDEAL BUT SIX FEET OR NOT IS

ALSO RECOMMENDED >> Jimmy: OKAY, SORRY, WAIT

A MINUTE SO LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT.

YOU'RE ALLOWED TO LEAVE YOUR HOME TO GO PROTEST, BUT WHILE

PROTESTING, YOU SHOULD WEAR A MASK, MAYBE GLOVES, AND TRY

TO KEEP YOUR DISTANCE FROM OTHER PEOPLE

>> WELL, THAT DEPENDS ON WHAT STATE YOU'RE IN.

IN PARTS OF CALIFORNIA, MASKS ARE NOT REQUIRED WHILE

EXERCISING AND TECHNICALLY PROTESTING IS MARCHING WHICH IS

A FORM OF EXERCISE YOU CAN CHECK YOUR APPLE WATCH

TO SEE IF YOU'RE EXERCISING, UNLESS YOU'RE WEARING GLOVES

>> Jimmy: WAIT, WAIT, WAIT SORRY, CAN YOU SLOW DOWN A BIT

>> SURE THING. IF YOU'RE IN ARKANSAS AND NOT

EATING, YOU MUST WEAR A MASK BUT IF YOU'RE IN VIRGINIA AND

UNDER TEN, YOU DON'T HAVE TO IF YOU'RE AN ESSENTIAL WORKER,

YOU MAY BE REQUIRED TO WEAR A MASK NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE,

UNLESS YOU'RE UNDER TEN, IN WHICH CASE, YOU SHOULD NOT BE

AN ESSENTIAL WORKER. ALSO, IT DOESN'T ONLY DEPEND ON

WHAT STATE YOU'RE IN GEOGRAPHICALLY, BUT WHAT STATE

YOU'RE IN MENTALLY ARE YOU IN A STATE OF THINKING

THAT JUSTICE IS YOUR PRIORITY? OR ARE YOU IN A STATE OF

THINKING HEALTH IS YOUR PRIORITY

AND IS THERE REALLY A DIFFERENCE

>> Jimmy: I'M SORRY, THIS ALL JUST SEEMS SO CONFUSING.

>> IT DOES, DOESN'T IT I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A LOT

OF INFORMATION, WHICH IS WHY I DESIGNED THIS CHART.

IT'S VERY SIMPLE FIRST YOU MUST ASK THE

QUESTION, "AM I GOING TO A A PROTEST?

IF YES, YOU MOVE DOWN HERE TO THIS VENN DIAGRAM.

THEN, ALL THE STATES, MENTAL, GEOGRAPHICAL, AND MATTER,

MEANING SOLIDS, LIQUIDS AND GASSES, ARE COLOR CODED RIGHT

DOWN HERE. AFTER THAT, YOU HEAD TO THIS

LINE GRAPH THAT MEASURES THE NUMBER OF PROTESTERS WITH ZONE

TEMPERATURES AND IF YOU'RE OVER 40, THIS

CHART DOESN'T APPLY TO YOU YOU'RE GOING TO WANT TO LOOK AT

THIS CHART AND START ALL OVER FROM THE BEGINNING

SO IF THAT'S CONFUSING, WE ALSO HAVE THIS, WHICH IS TECHNICALLY

A CHART THAT WALKS YOU THROUGH ALL OF THE OTHER CHARTS.

AND FOR THAT YOU'RE JUST GONNA NEED 300 PIECES OF PAPER AND A

A HOLE PUNCH AND THEN OF COURSE, FAILING

THAT, THERE'S THIS >> Jimmy: WHAT IS THAT

>> THIS SHOWS AN INTERDIMENSIONAL RELATIONSHIP

BETWEEN THE CHARTS AND THE BINDER

IT'S PRETTY SELF‐EXPLANATORY NOW.

>> Jimmy: WELL, THANK YOU FOR BEING ON THE SHOW.

AND IF YOU'RE PROTESTING, BE SAFE OUT THERE

>> YOU BE SAFE IN THERE, JIMMY >> Jimmy: THAT IS OUR

MONOLOGUE, EVERYBODY WE HAVE A GREAT SHOW

MORE "TONIGHT SHOW." MARTIN SHORT COMING UP NOW

COME ON BACK COME ON BACK

PLANET AND ONE OF MY COMEDY HEROES

MARTY, CAN I TALK TO YOU ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON RIGHT NOW WITH

EVERYTHING OBVIOUSLY, THE PANDEMIC, BUT

DEALING WITH EVERYTHING? >> YOU KNOW, I'M LIKE EVERYONE,

I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT I'M SEEING, BUT I'M ‐‐ I'M ALSO

AWARE THAT THIS IS A DEFINING MOMENT IN HISTORY.

AND EVEN THOUGH WE'VE BEEN ON THE PRECIPICE OF GREAT CHANGE

IN THE PAST, WHEN I THINK OF LIKE SANDY HOOK AND HOW WE

THOUGHT EVERYTHING WAS GOING TO CHANGE WITH GUN LAWS AND

NOTHING HAPPENED EVEN THOUGH PRESIDENT OBAMA HAD

EVERY PARENT OF THOSE 20 CHILDREN AT THE ROSE GARDEN

AND NOTHING HAPPENED I THINK THIS IS DIFFERENT.

I FEEL WILDLY OPTIMISTIC AND I HAVE A SENSE IN MY HEART

THAT THIS TIME IT REALLY LOOKS LIKE CHANGE MIGHT ACTUALLY

HAPPEN >> Jimmy: GOOD

SO WHILE I WAS WATCHING, YOU KNOW, THESE OLD SHOWS ‐‐ I'D

SO I DO THAT AND THEN I PUT IT IN A FILE AND

BUT EVERYONE WAS IN BLACK TIE, AND ALL HUMANITY OF CELEBRITY

WAS THERE. AND I REMEMBER STEVE AND CHEVY

AND I DID A THING AS THE THREE AMIGOS IN OUR FULL AMIGOS

COSTUME, AND KIND OF BOMBED, I REMEMBER

KIND OF BOMBED TO THE POINT THAT WHEN I THEN TOOK MY SEAT

BACK IN THE AUDIENCE, BILLY CRYSTAL SAID, "HEY MARTY,

WHEN DO YOU GO ON? [ LAUGHTER ]

THE PANDEMIC >> WELL, I CERTAINLY TALKED TO

JUST HAD LIKE A LITTLE PRE‐FATHER'S DAY BRUNCH IN MY

BACKYARD SO THAT WAS AWESOME.

>> Jimmy: AHH. >> IT WAS GOOD TO HAVE TO HAVE

MY FIRST ‐ >> Jimmy: YOU FIRST FATHER'S

DAY. >> FIRST FATHER'S DAY BRUNCH

YEAH IT WAS COOL.

I FELT SO WEIRD SITTING THERE NOT DOING ANYTHING

I WAS LIKE, "I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD DO SOMETHING.

BUT THEY WERE LIKE, NO SIT DOWN

YEAH, YEAH, IT'S ALL RIGHT >> Jimmy: WE'RE GROWING UP MAN

HEY, WITH EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW, HOW ARE

YOU GUYS DEALING WITH BEING FUNNY AND WRITING JOKES?

IT'S KIND OF CHALLENGING >> YOU KNOW, BASHIR AND I TALK

ABOUT THAT A LOT BECAUSE I THINK THAT IN SOME

WEIRD WAY, WHAT WE DO HASN'T CHANGED.

LIKE WE'VE ALWAYS WRITTEN WHAT WE THOUGHT WAS FUNNY AND, YOU

KNOW, SORT OF SPOKE TO WHAT WE THINK IS THE TRUTH

AND SO THAT HASN'T REALLY CHANGED.

LIKE THE THINGS THAT THE WORLD IS STRUGGLING WITH RIGHT NOW,

THE PANDEMIC IS ‐‐ IS ITS OWN BEAST, BUT AS FAR AS LIKE THE

PROTESTS AND THE DEMONSTRATIONS, LIKE, NONE OF

THOSE THINGS ARE NEW AND SO WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT

THEM FOR A LONG TIME SO WHEN PEOPLE SEE THE SPECIAL,

WE'VE HAD A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY, "OH HOW COULD YOU HAVE EVER

PREDICTED THIS AND HOW COULD HAVE PREDICTED THAT?

THEY'VE BEEN ON OUR RADAR FOR YEARS AND FOR MOST OF OUR

LIVES. SO IF ANYTHING THE WORLD IS

OPENING UP TO A PERSPECTIVE WE'VE HAD FOR A WHILE.

>> YEAH, AND YOU KNOW OBVIOUSLY LIKE A LOT OF ‐‐ I LISTEN TO MY

WIFE AND I LISTEN TO MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND I TAKE

EVERYTHING THAT THEY SAY VERY SERIOUSLY.

AND I REALLY DO I FEEL BLESSED THAT WE ARE GIFTED ENOUGH TO

MAKE PEOPLE LAUGH WHEN WE DO OUR WORK

AND I FEEL IT'S REALLY NICE TO BE ABLE TO GIFT THAT TO PEOPLE

BECAUSE EVEN IF PEOPLE ARE GOING THROUGH WHATEVER THEY'RE

GOING THROUGH, I THINK PEOPLE DO NEED THOSE BREAKS AND THOSE

RESPITES AND SO FOR US IT FEELS LIKE,

GREAT, THIS IS A PERFECT TIME TO TAKE WHAT GOD GAVE US AND

CONTINUE TO USE THIS AND THIS IS ACTUALLY MORE OF A

A TIME TO USE IT BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHOSE ‐‐

YOU KNOW, WHOSE SUNSHINE ‐‐ WHOSE DAY YOU'RE GIVING

A LITTLE SUNSHINE TO AND I THINK THAT'S A WONDERFUL,

WONDERFUL THING TO BE ABLE TO DO

SO I'M REALLY ‐‐ I FEEL VERY, VERY HAPPY THAT I'M ABLE TO DO

THE WORK WE DO, MAKING PEOPLE FEEL GOOD.

I THINK THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT. >> I WAS GONNA SAY, JOHN LEGEND

IS ONE OF THE EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS OF "SHERMAN'S

SHOWCASE." >> THAT'S RIGHT.

>> AND HE ALWAYS SAYS THAT IF YOU HAVE A GIFT, IT'S YOUR

OBLIGATION TO SHARE IT, BECAUSE IT MIGHT BE THE THING TO GET

SOMEBODY THROUGH SOME HARD TIMES.

AND I THINK, IN GENERAL, LIKE, YOU KNOW, OUR CULTURE IS THAT

WE WOULD, YOU KNOW, COME UP WITH SOME AMAZING SONGS TO GET

US THROUGH HARD TIMES. WE COME UP WITH, YOU KNOW, SOME

LEVITY AND SOME MOMENTS OF LAUGHTER TO SORT OF RECHARGE

OUR BATTERY. BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF WORK

THAT'S GOT TO GET DONE SO THAT'S JUST A REALLY FANCY

WAY OF SAYING THAT LIKE, WE STILL WANT TO LAUGH.

WE STILL WANT TO LOVE ‐‐ AND LOVE EACH OTHER, AND THAT'S

REALLY HOW WE CONTINUE TO WORK EVEN WHEN THE NEWS IS

RELENTLESS, THAT'S HOW YOU GOT TO WORK.

AND BY THE WAY, WE KIND OF LEARNED IT FROM YOU AND WORKING

AT "FALLON." BECAUSE AT "FALLON," YOU KNOW,

THERE WERE DAYS WHEN WE WOULD COME IN AND THE NEWS WAS

ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE. >> YEAH.

>> EVEN BACK THEN. AND YOU JUST WERE LIKE, "WHAT

ARE WE GONNA DO THE SHOW FOR?" BUT WE KNOW THAT THE SHOW'S GOT

TO GO ON, BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE TURNING TO THE SHOW TO BRING

SOME LIGHT IN THEIR LIVES. >> Jimmy: SPEAKING OF GOOD

MUSIC, I RECEIVED THIS IN THE MAIL AND I FLIPPED OUT

[ LAUGHTER ] >> YEAH.

>> Jimmy: FLIPPED OUT. YOU GUYS KNOW HOW TO DO IT

>> YEAH. >> Jimmy: YOU GUYS, THIS IS SO

SWEET. [ LAUGHTER ]

LOOK AT YOU. THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE, DUDE

IT'S SO GREAT. TALK TO ME ABOUT THE "SHERMAN'S

SHOWCASE: BLACK HISTORY MONTH SPECTACULAR.

>> YES >> Jimmy: IT WILL AIR THIS

FRIDAY AT 10:00 P. M. ON AMC

WHAT'S THE STORY ABOUT THE BLACK HISTORY MONTH

SPECTACULAR? >> WELL, I THINK, YOU KNOW, WE

ALWAYS KNEW WE WANTED TO DO A BLACK HISTORY MONTH EPISODE.

AND AT THE TIME, WERE PREPARING IT FOR FEBRUARY.

AND THEN THE NETWORK SAID, "WE DON'T HAVE SPACE ON THE

SCHEDULE, HOW ABOUT IN JUNE? AND THEN WE WERE LIKE, "IT'S

CALLED BLACK HISTORY MONTH SPECTACULAR.

YOU CAN'T PUT IT IN JUNE, IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE IN FEBRUARY."

AND THEN, WE THOUGHT ABOUT IT. AND WE WERE LIKE, ACTUALLY,

THAT'S KIND OF FUNNY SO WHY DON'T WE CALL IT THE

"BLACK HISTORY MONTH SPECTACULAR, DOT, DOT, DOT ‐‐

IN JUNE. LIKE WE THOUGHT THAT'D BE SO

FUNNY. THEN EVERYTHING HAPPENED WITH

EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD, AND WE WERE LIKE, "WOW, WE KIND OF

NEED IT NOW IN JUNE MORE THAN WE MIGHT HAVE NEEDED IT IN

FEBRUARY SO WE'RE ACTUALLY ‐‐ IT'S WEIRD

HOW IT WORKED OUT THAT WAY >> Jimmy: DOES YOUR NEPHEW ‐‐

YOU SAY YOUR NEPHEW IS THAT WHO DOES THE ANIMATION

>> MY NEPHEW, SENG HIS NAME IS SENG RIDDLE, SENG

WITH AN "E." AND HE DOES ALL THE ANIMATION.

>> Jimmy: HE DIDN'T DO THE CHARLIE BROWN ANIMATION, DID

HE >> OH, HE DID.

>> HE DID. >> Jimmy: HE KNOCKED IT OUT OF

THE PARK, IT'S GREAT IT'S A HOME RUN.

>> WE WANTED TO DO WHAT "A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS" WAS

FOR CHRISTMAS, WE WANTED TO DO FOR BLACK HISTORY.

AND WE WERE LIKE, WHO BETTER TO BE THE PEANUTS GANG THAN THE

ROOTS? >> THAT'S RIGHT.

>> Jimmy: IT'S SO PERFECT, I WANT TO SHOW A CLIP.

HERE'S A CLIP OF "SHERMAN'S SHOWCASE: BLACK HISTORY MONTH SPECTACULAR.
