Transcript
00:00Hey, you know, reboots are a big thing in the TV business these days.
00:03I'm wondering if you could reboot a show that you love from your childhood or after and star in it, what would it be and why?
00:09Six million dollar man. I knew that already, right? We was already talking about that, right?
00:15Oh, you know what show I loved? Oh, the Bionic Woman. Are they trying to do that? They probably already did.
00:22Oh.
00:23Jamie Summers? Come on.
00:25I dream of Jeannie, you know, with someone more ethnically appropriate, perhaps.
00:30Yeah.
00:30I want to do a TV version of The Bodyguard starring me. And every time I say it, people ask, oh, and you're the bodyguard and you're taking care of a man. I'm like, no, bitch. I am the pretty celebrity and there's a man taking care of me.
00:43Oh, wow. Probably good times. Some of the messages, the majority of the messages and things that were going on on that show are still going on today, almost 40 years later.
00:52Fantasy Island was just a sweet spot for me. If you give me another five years or maybe a little makeup, I could be Mr. Rourke. I mean, obviously not very Latin, but nonetheless.
01:03Oh, how about the Golden Girls? Bring back the Golden Girls. That's my answer.
01:09Which one would you want to be?
01:11Well, listen, I can't play any of the Golden Girls.
01:13Good. You could be an all-male.
01:14You know the show I'm in? It's all against patriarchy. Can you imagine the for-all that would happen if I wanted to take a female role? No. All female Golden Girls, but maybe a bit more diverse. You know what I mean?
01:25That's great.
01:25An Asian character, at least.
01:27I wouldn't. That's my answer. Absolutely not. Leave it alone. If it's great, leave it alone. The only reboots that are okay is if something like really, you know, maybe there was a source material or something that wasn't properly adapted 20-plus years ago.
01:41Then it's okay to do. But otherwise, leave it alone, I say.
01:44Well, yeah. No need.
