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

"LATE LATE SHOW."

HOPE YOU HAD A GREAT TUESDAY.

WE HAVE A FUN ONE PLANNED FOR
YOU TONIGHT.

WE'LL BE CHATTING WITH THE
INCREDIBLY TALENTED ANDREW

RANNELLS.

THEN LATER ON, WE'LL HAVE A
PERFORMANCE FROM BRITTANY

HOWARD, SO STICK AROUND
FOR THAT.

TONIGHT, OF COURSE, WAS THE
FIRST PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE.

NOW OBVIOUSLY, WE TAPE THIS SHOW
EARLIER IN THE DAY, SO WE DON'T

KNOW WHAT HAPPENED YET.

IF YOU HAD TO GUESS, REGGIE,
WHAT HAPPENED IN THE DEBATE?

>> Reggie: TRUMP SAID A BUNCH
OF STUFF THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE

BUT KEPT SAYING IT ANYWAYS, AND
THEN BIDEN WAS, WHAT ARE YOU,

SOME JIVE TURKEY?

( LAUGHTER )
>> James: IMAGINE IF WE TUNE

IN TONIGHT AND JOE BIDEN DOES
SAY, WHAT ARE YOU, SOME JIVE

TURKEY?

( LAUGHTER )
IT WOULD CEMENT WHAT I'VE ALWAYS

THOUGHT IS REGGIE TRAVELS BACK
AND FORWARD THROUGH TIME.

>> Reggie: YES.

>> James: I DO BELIEVE IT.

I DO.

WELL, DONALD TRUMP'S TEAM WASTED
NO TIME GOING ON THE OFFENSIVE

TODAY.

AHEAD OF THE DEBATE THIS MORNING
RUDY GIULIANI WENT ON "FOX

& FRIENDS" AND CLAIMED JOE BIDEN
IS UNWELL.

>> THE MAN HAS DEMENTIA.

NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.

I'VE TALKED TO DOCTOR, HAD THEM
LOOK AT 100 DIFFERENT TAPES OF

HIS FIVE YEARS AGO AND TODAY.

>> THE BIDEN PEOPLE SAY HE'S
FINE.

>> WELL, WELL, WELL, HE CAN'T
RECITE THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE

AND HE'S FINE?

>> Reggie: WOW.

>> James: I HAVE TO GIVE IT TO
JULIAN, IT'S HARD TO ARGUE WITH

BUAWAAWA!

LOOKS LIKE HE GOT BUSTED BY
SCOOBY AND THE GANG.

I LIKE WHEN HE SAID I'VE TALKED
TO DOCTORS.

THOSE WHO DON'T WANT TO WEAR
MASKS, SUDDENLY DOCTORS ARE

EXPERTS AGAIN.

I AM CERTAIN RUDY GIULIANI HAS
SPOKEN TO MULTIPLE DOCTORS AND

DEMENTIA.

( LAUGHTER )
HIS FAMILY WERE LIKE, NO, NO,

IT'S NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU.

THEY'RE GOING TO ASK YOU
QUESTIONS ABOUT JOE BIDEN.

YEAH, YOU WILL BE THERE THE
WHOLE WEEKEND!

GIULIANI THEN TRIED TO PRESENT
MORE EVIDENCE OF BIDEN'S MENTAL

DECLINE BUT SEEMED TO STRUGGLE A
BIT HIMSELF.

>> HE'S BEEN A -- HE'S BEEN --
HE WAS IN A CENTER FOR 160

YEARS.

I MEAN, HE CAN'T DO THE PROLOGS
TO THE CONST -- THE CONSTITUTION

OF THE UNITED STATES OR THE
DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE OR

ANY OF THEM?

HE CAN'T DO NUMBERS.

THE NUMBERS ARE SCREWED UP.

>> James: I STOPPED LISTENING
WHEN HE SAID BIDEN WAS IN THE

SENATE FOR 160 YEARS.

LOOKT AT HIS FACIAL EXPRESSION.

RUDY GIULIANI CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE
RUDY GIULIANI SAID THAT.

MAYBE GIULIANI IS RIGHT, 160
YEARS.

WHO COULD FORGET JOE BIDEN'S
PIVOTAL WORK TO UNIT THE COUNTRY

DURING THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR?

( LAUGHTER )
I'VE ONLY LIVED IN AMERICA FIVE

AND A HALF ALMOST SIX YEARS.

IAN, EXPLAIN RUDY GIULIANI TO
ME.

>> UM -- HE'S LIKE A ONE-HIT
WONDER POLITICIAN.

HE WAS KIND OF POPPING IN THE
EARLY 2000s, BUT NOW PEOPLE

ONLY CARE ABOUT HIM BECAUSE OF
TRUMP.

HE'S LIKE IF KID ROCK WAS A
POLITICIAN.

>> James: DO YOU KNOW WHAT I
THINK THE RUDY GIULIANI THING

IS?

I THINK IT MIGHT BE A GENIUS
MOVE -- I THINK THEY BRING HIM

OUT ON TV RIGHT BEFORE A DEBATE
TO MAKE TRUMP LOOK MORE TOGETHER

AND NORMAL.

>> Reggie: OH, NICE.

>> James: PRESIDENT TRUMP
DIDN'T SEEM TOO CONCERNED ABOUT

HIS DEBATE WITH JOE BIDEN
TONIGHT BECAUSE ACCORDING TO

REPORTS, TRUMP DID ALMOST NO
DEBATE PREP WHATSOEVER.

ALMOST NO PREP IS STILL MORE
PREP THAN I WOULD HAVE GUESSED.

APPARENTLY, EACH TEAM MADE
UNUSUAL REQUESTS HEADING INTO

TONIGHT'S DEBATE AND THOSE
REQUESTED WERE VETOED BY THE

OTHER SIDE.

TEAM BIDEN APPARENTLY REQUESTED
FOR A BREAK EVERY 30 MINUTES,

WHILE TEAM TRUMP ASKED FOR EACH
CANDIDATES' EARS TO BE INSPECTED

FOR ELECTRONIC DEVICES.

>> Reggie: WOW.

>> James: THE SECOND REQUEST
WAS REJECTED BECAUSE THEY

COULDN'T FIND A SINGLE PERSON IN
THE COUNTRY WILLING TO LOOK

INSIDE DONALD TRUMP'S EARS.

( LAUGHTER )
THOUGH I THINK IF YOU LOOK INTO

HIS EARS, YOU WILL JUST SEE
RIGHT OUT THE OTHER SIDE.

( APPLAUSE )
>> YES, THAT'S TRUE.

>> James: I CAN'T BELIEVE I
GOT OVERLOOKED IN THE WRITING

CATEGORIES.

( LAUGHTER )
I ACTUALLY THINK THAT'S THE JOKE

THAT WILL BRING HIM DOWN.

>> THAT'S IT.

IT'S CURTAINS FOR HIM AFTER
THAT.

>> James: THEY'LL PROBABLY
CANCEL THE DEBATE AFT THAT.

IF THEY PUT THAT UP NOW, THEY'LL
CANCEL THE DEBATE.

THEY CAN'T COPE WITH THAT LEVEL
OF SATIRE.

>> IT'S TRENDING ON TWITTER NOW.

THE SHOW HASN'T GONE OUT YET, I
HAVE NO IDEA HOW IT HAPPENED,

BUT IT'S THE NUMBER ONE TOPIC.

BIDEN ASKED FOR A BREAK EVERY 30
MINUTES?

HE CAN'T JUST CHECK OUT WHENEVER
HE WANTS TO!

WHO DOES JOE BIDEN THINK HE IS,
A MEMBER OF OUR BAND?

YOU CAN'T JUST ZONE OUT IN
BETWEEN COMMERCIAL BREAK BUMPS.

IN THE PRESIDENCY, IF YOU HAVE
TO TAKE A BREAK EVERY 30

MINUTES, YOU'RE NOT GETTING A
SHIFT MANAGER POSITION AT DEL

TACO.

AND BIG NEWS THIS MORNING FOR
JOE BIDEN, HE'S BEEN OFFICIALLY

NOMINATED FOR A NOBEL PEACE
PRIZE.

I MEAN, YEAH.

HE SHOULD GET SOME KIND OF
AWARD.

HE SERVED 160 YEARS IN THE
SENATE.

>> Reggie: YEAH.

>> James: FIRST, TRUMP WAS
NOMINATED FOR ONE, NOW BIDEN.

HOW EASY IS IT TO GET THESE
NOMINATIONS?

I'M STARTING TO THINK GETTING A
NOBEL PRIZE NOMINATION SEEMS A

LIT LIKE AN INSTAGRAM CHALLENGE.

WHO ELSE DESERVES A NOBEL PRIZE
NOMINATION THIS YEAR, IAN?

REGGIE?

>> Reggie: PROBABLY CINDY
LAUPER.

>> James: YEAH, GO ON.

>> Reggie: YOU MEAN SOMEONE
ELSE?

>> James: NO, I MEAN WHAT'S
SHE DONE THIS YEAR?

>> Reggie: OH, GOSH --
>> James: RETROSPECTIVELY.

>> Reggie: SHE'S JUST DONE A
LOT.

SHOWN HER TRUE COLORS.

( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
>> James: YOU'RE RIGHT.

SHE JUST WANTS TO HAVE FUN.

>> Reggie: SHE JUST WANTS TO
HAVE FUN.

WE NEED THAT.

>> JAMES: AND WE HAD TO TELL YOU
ABOUT THIS.

A FIVE-YEAR-OLD AFRICAN RAT WAS
RECENTLY AWARDED A PRESTIGIOUS

MEDAL FOR HIS WORK DETECTING
MINES AND EXPLOSIVES IN

CAMBODIA.

THE RAT WAS GIVEN A MEDAL.

OR AS THE RAT CALLED IT, "NOT
CHEESE."

( LAUGHTER )
THE RAT'S LIKE, RIGHT, WHAT DO I

DO WITH THIS?

TH
THAT IS THE MOST IMPRESSIVE RAT

I'VE EVER SEEN.

AND I ONCE SAW A DOCUMENTARY
ABOUT A RAT WHO LOVED TO COOK

AND ENDED UP OWNING HIS OWN
RESTAURANT.

( LAUGHTER )
BUT THE EXPLOSIVE-DETECTING RAT

WAS REALLY MODEST ABOUT THE
WHOLE THING.

THE RAT SAID HE THINKS NOTHING
OF PUTTING HIS LIFE ON THE LINE

TO SAVE OTHERS... BECAUSE HE HAS
NO CLUE WHAT'S GOING ON.

( LAUGHTER )
BECAUSE HE'S A RAT.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

SO THE RAT GOES IN AND SAYS,
THERE'S MINES HERE OR THERE

ISN'T MINES HERE.

IMAGINE THAT, REGGIE.

IT'S FINE, YOU CAN GO ACROSS
THAT FIELD NOW.

YOU SURE?

NO, THE RAT SAID IT'S FINE.

( LAUGHTER )
SORRY, WHAT?

THE RAT.

SORRY, HAVE YOU MET NIGEL?

NIGEL SAYS --
( LAUGHTER )

TOTALLY FINE.

SO I'M GOOD TO GO ACROSS.

YEAH, YEAH YEAH.

BECAUSE --
( LAUGHTER )

BUT WHY DON'T YOU GO?

I CAN'T.

I'M LOOKING AFTER NIGEL.

I'M GIVING HIM A MEDAL LATER.

GO ON, YOU GO.

YOU TAKE OFF.

( LAUGHTER )
DID YOU SEE THIS STORY?

AN AIRLINE IS NOW SELLING OFF
USED DRINK CARTS FROM THEIR

RETIRED 747 AIRSPACE.

YOU KNOW THE BIG CARTS THAT ROLL
DOWN THE AISLES?

THEY'RE FULLY STOCKED WITH
DRINKS AND SOLD FOR $685 EACH.

GREAT NEWS FOR ANYONE ON THE
HUMP OF A METAL BOX

FILLED WITH CANS OF EXPIRED
TOMATO JUICE.

MAKES A GREAT CONVERSATION
STARTER THAT STARTS WITH, KEVIN,

WE'RE ALL A BIT CONCERNED ABOUT
YOU.

( LAUGHTER )
AND THIS IS NICE, FOR AN EXTRA

$50, THEY'LL BRING IT TO YOUR
HOUSE AND SLAM IT INTO YOUR KNEE

WHILE YOU'RE ASLEEP.

( LAUGHTER )
>> Reggie: YEAH.

>> James: DID YOU SEE THIS?

APPLE RECENTLY HELD A VIRTUAL
EVENT WHERE THEY ANNOUNCED THE

BRAND-NEW APPLE WATCH SERIES 6
WHICH WILL INTRODUCE WITH ALONG

WITH LOTS OF THINGS A NEW HAND
WASHING REMINDER.

IT'S NOT ENOUGH BIG TECH IS
MONITORING ALL OUR PERSONAL

INFORMATION, THEY'RE NOW
MONITORING OUR PERSONAL HYGIENE.

I HAPPEN TO HAVE BEEN SENT ONE
OF THESE SAID NEW WATCHES THAT

HAS A TON OF INTERESTING
FEATURES I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE

WITH YOU NOW.

FIRST OFF, THEY'VE ADDED THIS
AND THIS IS QUITE A COOL ONE,

THIS IS BANJO MODE, WHICH IS
PRETTY FUN IF YOU HAVEN'T

LEARNED TO PLAY THE BANJO, BUT
YOU WANT TO PLAY THE BANJO, AND

YOU SET IT TO BANJO MODE AND
YOU'VE JUST GOT THIS, LOOK

WE'VE ADDED THIS NEW MODE.

IT'S THRASH MODE.

YOU SET IT TO THRASH MODE AND
YOUNG ADULT PLAY HEAVY THRASH

METAL WHENEVER YOU JUST START
DOING THIS.

RIGHT?

BUT IF THAT GETS TOO LOUD,
THERE'S ALSO VOLUME MODE, WHICH

ALLOWS YOU TO CONTROL THE
COLONEL VOLUME YIEWM OF ANY

MUSIC YOU HAVE BEEN LISTENING

SO I'LL PUT SOME MUSIC ON NOW.

>> James: WELCOME BACK.

LET'S MEET OUR FIRST GUEST
TONIGHT!

HE'S A GRAMMY-WINNING AND
TONY-NOMINATED PERFORMER YOU

KNOW AND LOVE FROM "GIRLS," "A
SIMPLE FAVOR" AND "THE INTERN."

AND SO MUCH MORE.

PLEASE WELCOME THE WILDLY
TALENTED ANDREW RANNELLS.

THERE HE IS!

HOW ARE YOU?

>> I'M SO GOOD AND SO GOOD TO
SEE YOU.

>> James: IT'S NICE TO SEE
YOU.

I DON'T KNOW IF PEOPLE KNOW
THIS, BUT BASICALLY, OUTSIDE MY

FAMILY, I FEEL LIKE YOU'RE THE
PERSON I SAW THE MOST THIS YEAR

BEFORE COVID HAPPENS BECAUSE WE
WERE SHOOTING THIS FILM

TOGETHER, A FILM CALLED "THE
PROM," AND I MISS IT VERY MUCH.

IT FEELS LIKE ANOTHER WORLD NOW,
DOESN'T IT?

>> IT DOES FEEL LIKE ANOTHER
WORLD BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE WE

FELL INTO -- YOU KNOW, WE ALL
GOT VERY COZY TOGETHER, AND THEN

TO HAVE THAT ALL RIPPED OUT FROM
UNDER US WAS VERY ODD.

BUT I JUST GOT VERY USED TO
SEEING YOUR FACE EVERY DAY, AND,

YOU KNOW, YOU WERE SORT OF MY,
UM -- WELL, NOT SORT OF -- I

MEAN, YOU WERE MY ON-SET
HUSBAND, LET'S BE HONEST.

>> James: I WAS VERY
COMFORTABLE.

IT JUST BECAME SORT OF ANDREW
AND JAMES.

>> IT REALLY WAS.

>> James: WE WERE NEVER
MENTIONED ON OUR OWN.

>> WE CREATED A CLIQUE AND
LEANED INTO THAT AND EXCLUDED

MERYL STREEP AND NICOLE KIDMAN
FROM THAT.

( LAUGHTER )
>> James: WHAT WOULD A YOUNG

ANDREW RANNELLS THINK OF HIS
LIFE RIGHT NOW TODAY?

>> HE WOULD HAVE LOST HIS MIND.

HE WOULD HAVE LOST HIS MIND.

THERE WAS A MOMENT DURING THAT
FILM WHERE I FINALLY HAD THE

COURAGE TO TELL NICOLE EXACTLY
HOW MUCH I LOVE MULAN ROUGE, AND

SHE REENACTED HER DEATH SCENE
FOR ME.

( LAUGHTER )
AND I WAS, LIKE, NO ONE ELSE --

I MEAN, MAYBE SHE DOES IT ALL
THE TIME, I DON'T KNOW.

BUT SHE DID THE WHOLE THING FOR
ME.

SHE, LIKE, COUGHED AND DID ALL
OF THE -- SHE WAS, LIKE, OH, IT

MEANS SO MUCH TO ME THAT YOU
LIKED IT.

AND THEN SHE DID IT.

I SAID, NICOLE KIDMAN, YOU ARE
DOWN TO CLOUD.

( LAUGHTER )
>> James: YOU'RE CURRENTLY IN

NEW YORK CITY AND I KNOW
BROADWAY IS A BIG PART OF YOUR

LIFE.

TELL ME, BECAUSE I HAVEN'T BEEN
IN PROBABLY A YEAR NOW TO

NEW YORK.

LIKE, HOW IS IT -- HOW SURREAL
IS IT SEEING THAT KIND OF

STRETCH OF EIGHT OR TEN BLOCKS
OF BROADWAY CLOSED WITHOUT

ACTIVITY?

WHAT'S IT LIKE WHEN YOU WALK
AROUND THE AREA?

>> IT'S VERY SAD BECAUSE, YOU
KNOW -- AND I FEEL IT'S SORT

OF -- YOU KNOW, THAT OBVIOUSLY
IS SUCH A HUGE PART OF MY LIFE.

SO TO HAVE THAT ALL GONE, IT
FEELS LIKE JUST SOMETHING VERY

LARGE IS MISSING HERE.

AND NEW YORK, YOU KNOW, I'M
HAPPY TO SAY, YOU KNOW, IT FEELS

LIKE IT'S SORT OF STARTING TO
FUNCTION AGAIN IN A GOOD WAY,

BUT THAT PARTICULAR PART OF IT
IS REALLY, UM, THERE'S A HOLE.

THERE'S A HOLE IN THE CITY THAT
IT'S JUST NOT -- IT CAN'T BE

REPLACED AND, YEAH, THAT'S HARD.

>> James: AND EVERY SINGLE
BROADWAY PERFORMING, MUSICIAN,

CREW, STAGEHAND, BOX OFFICE
WORKER, YOU KNOW, WE'RE THINKING

ABOUT EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM,
WE REALLY, REALLY ARE.

IT'S WORRYING, BUT WE HOPE SO
MUCH THAT IT WILL, YOU KNOW,

THAT IT WILL FIND A WAY THROUGH
THIS AS SO MANY OTHER THINGS

ARE.

AND LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS, THIS
IS VERY EXCITING TO ME.

YOU'VE JUST FINISHED WORKING ON
YOUR DIRECTORIAL DEBUT.

I'M REALLY EXCITED FOR YOU.

HOW NERVOUS WERE YOU GOING INTO
IT?

I THINK YOU JUST WRAPPED.

HOW DID IT GO?

>> IT WAS TERRIFYING.

I WAS ASKED TO ADAPT AN ESSAY I
WROTE FOR MODERN LOVE IN THE

"NEW YORK TIMES."

I WAS ASKED TO ADAPT THAT FOR
THE SECOND SEASON, AND THEN JOHN

CARNEY, THE EXECUTIVE PRODUCER
WAS, LIKE, WELL, MAYBE WOULD YOU

WANT TO DIRECT IT BECAUSE IT'S
YOUR STORY AND YOU'RE WRITING

IT?

SO I WAS TERRIFIED, ABSOLUTELY
TERRIFIED, BUT I HAD MANY

CONVERSATIONS WITH RYAN MURPHY
AND JOE MANTELLO WHO DIRECTED

"THE BOYS IN THE BAND" AND THEY
JUST SORT OF TALKED ME THROUGH

IT IN A GREAT WAY AND WERE VERY
ENCOURAGING, AND, UM -- SO I

TRIED -- WELL, SEE -- WE'LL SEE
WHAT HAPPENS, BUT I FEEL LIKE IT

WENT WELL, JAMES.

I FEEL LIKE IT WENT WELL.

>> James: WE HAVE A PHOTO OF
YOU HERE IN ACTION, AND YOU LOOK

LIKE A DIRECTOR HERE.

IT'S A VERY -- IT'S A VERY
DIRECTOR'S CHOICE OF JACKET.

>> YES.

NO, I BOUGHT THAT JACKET -- SO
MY FRIEND SUSANNAH --

>> James: DID YOU BUY THE
JACKET TO LOOK LIKE A DIRECTOR?

>> YES.

>> James: WOW.

YES, I DID.

( LAUGHTER )
IT CAME FROM A PLACE CALLED

PHILSON.

IT FELT LIKE A VERY DIRECTOR
JACKET.

SO IF NOTHING ELSE, YOU KNOW,
BECAUSE I'M AN ACTOR SORT OF

FIRST, I WAS, LIKE, IF NOTHING
ELSE, I'LL LOOK THE PART.

>> James: YEAH.

I MIGHT FAIL, BUT I'LL TRY
THAT.

>> James: I DON'T THINK YOU
WILL.

I'M VERY EXCITED TO SEE IT.

I CAN'T WAIT.

I REALLY, REALLY CAN'T.

NOW, WE HAVE TO CONGRATULATE YOU
ON YOUR BRILLIANT PERFORMANCE IN

"THE BOYS IN THE BAND."

TELL THEM ABOUT THIS PROJECT AND
WHO YOU PLAY.

>> "THE BOYS IN THE BAND" IS A
FABULOUS PLAY IN 1968, MARK

CROWLEY WROTE IT, WE GOT TO
REVIVE IT IN BROADWAY IN 2018, A

LOT OF DATES, BUT THE POINT IS
IT'S ABOUT NINE GAY MEN SORT OF

TRAPPED IN AN APARTMENT AT A
BIRTHDAY PARTY IN 1968, IN ONE

APARTMENT, THAT, YOU KNOW, WITH
ENOUGH BOOS AND ENOUGH EMOTION

THAT THE WHEELS SORT OF START TO
COME OFF, AND IT'S JUST -- I

LOVE BEING A PART OF IT.

IT WAS SUCH A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE
GETTING TO DO IT ON BROADWAY AND

THEN, YOU KNOW, WITH THE EXACT
SAME CAST COMING BACK AND DOING

IT AS A FILM WAS REALLY
INCREDIBLE.

AND IT WILL BE ON, YOU KNOW,
NETFLIX ON THE 30th, AND WE'RE

SO EXCITED TO FINALLY GET TO
SHARE IT WITH PEOPLE.

IT'S BEEN A VERY LONG JOURNEY
WITH THE SHOW.

SO WE'RE VERY EXCITED FOR PEOPLE
TO SEE THIS VERSION.

>> James: I'M INCREDIBLY
EXCITED TO WATCH IT.

I'M A REAL FAN OF THE ORIGINAL.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW, I THINK
THERE'S A GENERATION OF YOUNG

PEOPLE THAT DON'T SORT OF
UNDERSTAND THAT IN 1968 YOU

COULD BE ARRESTED FOR BEING GAY.

>> YES.

>> James: AS AN OUT GAY MAN,
HOW DO YOU PROCESS THAT, WHEN

YOU'RE GOING INTO A PROJECT LIKE
THIS?

>> WELL, I THINK THAT WAS
SOMETHING THAT WE GOT TO EXPLORE

IN A VERY DIFFERENT WAY ON THE
FILM THAN WE DID WHEN WE WERE

DOING THE BROADWAY VERSION THAT
THERE WAS THIS SORT OF

OVERARCHING FEELING OF CONCERN
AND OF DANGER THAT, IF SOMEONE

HAD CALLED THE POLICE AND SAID
THERE'S, YOU KNOW, A PARTY OF A

BUNCH OF GAY MEN HAPPENING RIGHT
NOW, ALL OF THEM COULD HAVE BEEN

ARRESTED, THEIR NAMES WOULD HAVE
BEEN PUT IN THE NEWSPAPER, THEIR

LIVES WOULD HAVE BEEN DISRUPTED,
AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT I SORT

OF TOOK -- I DIDN'T REALLY
UNDERSTAND THAT.

AND THEN, LIKE, I DIDN'T --
BECAUSE WHEN I CAME OUT IN THE

'90s, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY THAT
WAS NOT A CONCERN.

AND PUTTING YOURSELF -- AND
REALLY BEING ABLE TO PUT

YOURSELF IN THAT PLACE AND SAYT
THAT JUST BEING YOURSELF WAS NOT

OKAY WAS SOMETHING THAT I THINK
WE ALL HAD TO -- HAD TO REMIND

OURSELVES OF WHEN WE WERE DOING
THE FILM, YOU KNOW, TO SAY, YES,

THERE'S VERY COMPLICATED
RELATIONSHIPS HAPPENING IN THIS

ROOM, BUT, ALSO, ON TOP OF THAT,
THERE'S A LOT ELSE HAPPENING

JUST POLITICALLY AND SOCIALLY.

SO JOE MANTELLO, OUR BRILLIANT
DIRECTOR, ALLOWED US TO SORT OF

EXPLORE THAT PART OF IT AS WELL.

BUT IT'S ALSO, LIKE -- IT'S VERY
FUNNY.

IT'S A FUNNY MOVIE.

THERE'S A LOT OF LOVE IN IT, BUT
IT IS SORT OF A DARK STORY OF

THESE FRIENDS SORT OF, YOU KNOW,
REALLY TRUTH TELLING.

BUT I THINK THAT WHAT -- AGAIN,
WHAT WE GOT TO EXPLORE MAYBE IN

THE FILM THAN WE DID ON BROADWAY
WAS THERE'S A REASON THEY'RE ALL

IN THE ROOM TOGETHER AND IT'S
BECAUSE THEY LOVE EACH OTHER AND

IT'S BECAUSE THEY'RE FRIENDS AND
IT'S ABOUT CHOSEN FAMILY AND

ABOUT THESE GUYS WHO REALLY DO
CARE AND WANT TO PROTECT EACH

OTHER.

SO AS A CAST, WE ALL KNEW EACH
OTHER SO WELL.

YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU DO A SHOW ON
BROADWAY OR WHEREVER, THAT'S

YOUR FAMILY, RIGHT, LIKE THAT'S
YOUR FAMILY FOR A BIT.

SO WE ALL BECAME VERY CLOSE, SO
IT WAS REALLY FUN TO GET TO

REUNITE AND TELL THIS STORY ON
FILM.

>> James: WELL, I'M REALLY,
REALLY EXCITED TO SEE.

I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE A HUGE
SUCCESS.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE CLIP
FROM THE BOYS IN THE BAND

STREAMING ON NETFLIX.

>> WHERE'S YOUR PRESENT?

IT'S ARRIVING LATER.

LARRY, LARRY.

LARRY.

>> WHAT?

GIVE MIKE THE GIFT.

OH.

HERE.

LOUDER SO MY MOTHER IN
PHILADELPHIA CAN HEAR YOU.

>> YOU'RE JUST STANDING THERE IN
TRANCE.

>> WHAT'S THAT?

NOW BOTH KNOW DONALD, DON'T
YOU?

>> SURE.

NICE TO SEE YOU.

>> HI.

NICE TO MEET YOU.

OH, I'M SORRY, I THOUGHT
YOU'D MET.

>> WELL, WE HAVEN'T EXACTLY MET,
BUT WE'VE -- HI.

OBVIOUS THE ONE -- YEAH, YEAH.

QUESTION?

>> Reggie: WHAT WAS YOUR
FAVORITE GREEN ROOM EXPERIENCE

BETWEEN THIS SHOW AND THE "LATE
SHOW"?

>> JAMES IS A VERY TENDER
HUGGER, SO I APPRECIATED THAT,

YEAH.

SO THAT'S -- THAT'S, YOU KNOW,
THE BEST GREEN ROOM I HAVE BEEN

IN BECAUSE I JUST FELT SEEN AND
HEARD AND HELD AND, YEAH, I FELT

VERY CLOSE TO -- I'VE NEVER FELT
SO CLOSE TO A HOST BEFORE.

BUT A STINGY MUGGER.

THAT'S WHAT WE'VE GOT FROM THIS.

REG, IS THAT CORRECT?

>> Reggie: IT'S ABSOLUTELY
CORRECT.

CORRECT.

BECAUSE IT DOESN'T APPEAL TO ME.

BUT IF I WAS FISHING WITH YOU, I
THINK I WOULD BE INTO IT.

IF I WOULD BE FISHING WITH IAN,
I WOULD BE WE'RE LEAVING.

>> THE FISHING FASHION IS WHY I
DO IT.

>> James: THE WADERS, I'M INTO
THE WHOLE THING.

>> THE WADERS, THE WADING BOOTS,
YOU KNOW, REAL EARTH AND TONE.

>> James: YES.

YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.

THAT'S WHERE UH IT'S AT.

THAT'S THE FUTURE, GUCCI WADERS.

>> James: I NEVER KNEW YOU
WERE A FISHER BECAUSE IN

ADDITION TO FISHING, YOU'VE ALSO
TAKEN UP -- AND THIS IS

IMPRESSIVE.

YOU'VE TAKEN UP WEIGHT LIFTING
AND YOU DEAD LIFT 250 POUNDS.

LOOK AT THIS!

( APPLAUSE )
THIS IS SO IMPRESSIVE.

HOW DID YOU GET INTO THIS?

WHEN DID DEAD LIFTING BECOME A
PART OF YOUR LIFE?

>> I GET INTO IT OVER THE
PANDEMIC.

I'M A PERSON WHO REALLY LIKES TO
STAY BUSY, AND RUNNING OUT OF

TOUR THE DO AND SITTING AROUND
THE HOUSE, I HAD TO COME UP WITH

SOME NEW SOLUTIONS.

AND ONE OF THOSE THINGS WAS,
LIKE, WEIGHT LIFTING.

I GREW UP, MY MOTHER WAS A BODY
BUILDER.

SO, YOU KNOW, AS A KID, I GREW
UP AROUND ALL THESE REALLY

TANNED, YOU KNOW, STRONG MEN AND
WOMEN, AND I GUESS AS I GOT

OLDER, I WAS JUST, LIKE, OH,
YEAH, THAT'S SOMETHING I KNOW

ABOUT.

SO I TRIED IT, AND I HAVE BEEN
TRAINING WITH MY TRAINER, AND,

YEAH, I'M LIFTING.

I GOT PEOPLE HITTING ME UP NOW,
CELEBRITIES AND STUFF, THEY WANT

TO WEIGHT TRAIN WITH ME, NOW.

>> James: WHO?

WHO WANTS TO WEIGHT TRAIN?

>> PABLO SCHREIBER.

>> James: HE CALLS YOU SAND
SAYS, I WANT TO DEAD LIFT, I

WANT TO PICK SOME STUFF UP?

>> HE SAID, NEXT TIME YOU'RE IN
L.A., LET'S GO TRAIN TOGETHER.

I SAID, OH, YES.

OKAY.

I CAN GET THAT IN MY LIFE.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

>> James: SO YOU TAKE IT TO
THE WAIST.

DO YOU EVER TO THE -- AAAHHH!

>> WE CALL IT CLING AND PRESS.

>> James: YEAH, THESE ARE ALL
TECHNICAL THINGS YOU NEED TO

KNOW ABOUT.

ARE YOU A CLEAN PRESSER?

>> I'M A CLEAN PRESSER.

I'M THE BEST AROUND.

THAT'S THE THING, I CAN'T WAIT
TO GO STATE.

YOU NEVER KNOW.

I THINK I WOULD LIKE TO PACK IN
AS MANY TITLES AND AWARDSHIPS AS

I CAN IN THIS LIFETIME.

I WANT TO BE THE TENNESSEE STATE
CHAMP.

>> James: OH, MY GOODNESS.

THAT WOULD BE INCREDIBLE.

NOW, LET'S TALK ABOUT YOUR
ALBUM, JAMIE.

YOU SAID THAT IT'S A MEMORIAL TO
YOUR SISTER, WHO PASSED AWAY

WHEN YOU WERE YOUNGER.

TALK TO ME ABOUT THAT, HOW HAS
SHE IMPACTED YOUR CAREER AS A

SOLO ARTIST AND, PARTICULARLY,
THIS RECORD?

>> SURE.

SO WHEN I WAS LITTLE, MY SISTER
JAMIE WAS MY FIRST TEACHER, SHE

WAS MY HERO, YOU KNOW, SHE WAS
FOUR YEARS OLDER THAN ME, SO I

GOT ON HER NERVOUS, AND SHE WAS
ALSO JUST LIKE THE BEST THING IN

THE WORLD.

SHE TAUGHT ME HOW TO PLAY PIANO,
HOW TO DRAW, HOW TO USE MY

IMAGINATION.

REALLY TAUGHT ME EVERYTHING I
USE TODAY TO BE WHO I AM.

AND TO HAVE THIS MUSIC CAREER
THAT I HAVE BEEN GIFTED, YOU

KNOW.

SO WHEN I WAS DOING MY SOLO
RECORD I WAS AFRAID AND SCARED.

I THOUGHT, THIS COULD BE A
REALLY BAD IDEA BUT THERE WAS

SOMETHING IN ME THAT MADE ME
WANT TO LEAN INTO IT AND MAKE

SOMETHING ON MY OWN AND CREATING
AND TAKING A RISK.

MY SISTER TAUGHT ME THOSE THINGS
AND THOSE QUALITIES.

I KNEW WHEN THE RECORD WAS
FINISHED EVERYONE WAS ASKING ME

WHT ARE YOU GOING TO CALL A
RECORD?

AND I KNEW MY NAME HAD TO BE ON
IT, OF COURSE, BUT MY SISTER'S

NAME HAD TO BE ON IT.

I WANTED TO SHARE THAT AND PUT
GRATEFULNESS ON HER NAME.

>> James: THAT'S SO WONDERFUL.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE
WITH US, BRITTANY, I CAN'T TELL

YOU HOW MUCH -- I FEEL LIKE I
COULD TALK TO YOU FOR A WEEK AND

I WOULD BE HAPPY.
