Short filmTranscript
00:00And I, Quinta Brunson, Tiana Taylor, plus music from Tasha Cobbs Leonard and John Legend with the Kletos.
00:10And now, Jimmy Kimmel!
00:30Jimmy, thank you for watching. Thank you for joining us here. Please have a seat. We're in Hollywood. The award season and the norovirus are officially upon us again.
00:49You know, we'll be handing out awards every weekend for the next three months here, starting this morning with the nominees for the Golden Globes. And last night, they handed out the Kennedy Center Honors in Washington, hosted by Donald Trump. Donald Trump was the host of the show. He's been boasting about hosting, saying, we've never had a president host the Kennedy Center Honors before, which, yeah, why do you think that is?
01:13We've also never had Neil Patrick Harris order a military strike on a fishing boat before.
01:20Trump was obviously very excited to headline this once prestigious event. He even waddled the red carpet where he was all fired up.
01:28How have you prepared the host tonight?
01:31Well, maybe I haven't prepared. Maybe you want to be a little bit loose.
01:35If you look at the great host, Johnny Carson, Bob Hope, those are the greats.
01:41If you look at the not-so-greats, like Jimmy Kimmel, he used to be terrible.
01:48That is very hurtful.
01:53I thought we were friends. I don't know what's going on.
01:56He is really fixated. I'm starting to think he might have a crush on me.
02:01I thought we never had a president hosting the awards before.
02:03This is a first. I'm sure they'll give me great reviews, right?
02:06They'll say, he was horrible. He was terrible. It was a horrible situation.
02:12No, we'll do fine. I've watched some of the people that host.
02:15Jimmy Kimmel was horrible.
02:17Some of these people, if I can't beat out Jimmy Kimmel in terms of talent,
02:21then I don't think I should be president.
02:24Agreed.
02:27I'm with you.
02:27I don't think I've ever agreed with anything more than that.
02:36Do you think Iggy even knows I've never hosted the Kennedy Center honors?
02:41Maybe he's confusing me with Queen Latifah?
02:43As far as this who has more talent thing goes,
02:47it seems like he's challenging me to a contest,
02:49which, if so, I'm open to it.
02:51Let's do it. Let's have a talent competition.
02:52I'll come out. I'll tell a few jokes. I'll draw something.
02:58I'll play my clarinet. He can play golf,
03:01spank a porn star, and ruin a country.
03:04I'm kidding, of course.
03:05The truth is, Donald Trump is a talented...
03:07He's a very talented person.
03:09I mean, the man can sing.
03:13The man can act.
03:15Excuse me, where's the lobby?
03:17Down the hall and to the left.
03:18Thanks.
03:19He can dance.
03:21He does impressions.
03:27Yeah!
03:30He is athletic.
03:33Oh, he's shaking.
03:35And he's not only an amazing artist,
03:38he also is an incredible poet, too.
03:41So much talent.
03:43So much talent.
03:44The only way you can contain it is to lock him up.
03:47And I'll tell you something.
03:48The Kennedy Center is lucky to have him.
03:54Do you think the center will eventually be named the Trump Kennedy Center?
03:57I don't know. I hear that.
03:59But I don't know.
04:00That's not up to me.
04:01That's up to the board.
04:02That's up to the board.
04:03I appointed and am chairman of.
04:05That's totally up to them.
04:06You know, before he knocked down the White House, Trump ordered major renovations to the Kennedy Center.
04:11And he was pretty excited to talk about that, too.
04:14And we've done a lot of work.
04:15We've redone great marble floors that were beat to hell.
04:20And we've replaced him with the most beautiful marble, the statuary marble.
04:25They call it an Italy statuary, a great white and black marble that forms Greece in big parts of Italy.
04:34And Italy, during a time when Italy was extremely strong, and Greece, when Greece was Greece.
04:40You know, Greece was first Greece, then came Greece, too, which wasn't as good as Greece.
04:50And I have to say, I always wonder what Melania thinks when he starts rambling on and on about this construction stuff.
04:59And last night, we finally found out.
05:00It's a massive change.
05:01You know, the white against the white marble?
05:03The marble is being rejuvenated.
05:05They're great pieces of marble, but they've been let go, and they've been tired.
05:10And I always say, you can take a hundredth of an inch off of a piece of marble, and you have a brand new piece of marble.
05:16Nobody does it.
05:17It's not an easy process.
05:19Marble, he is always saying things about f***ing marble.
05:24He is just counting the minutes till those Epstein files come out.
05:29Trump said he was 98% involved in selecting the honorees at the Kennedy Center.
05:33The man doesn't know who half the scumbags he pardoned this month are, but he is laser focused on that.
05:38The honorees included George Strait, Gloria Gaynor, the band KISS, who are the only people who wear more makeup than he does, and our official ambassador to Hollywood, Sylvester Stallone.
05:49Got a Kennedy Center honor.
05:51There they are, Rambo and Dumbo together.
05:55Rocky and Bull Cankle with Gene Simmons looking on.
05:58Trump was also the recipient of an award this weekend.
06:01On Friday, he was given the first ever FIFA Peace Prize.
06:04FIFA, the governing body of soccer, got nervous because Trump was threatening to pull the World Cup out of blue U.S. cities like L.A. and San Francisco,
06:12which would have, it would have cost them a lot of money to move the games to Bakersfield.
06:16So they did something you could call a genius, and you might be right.
06:19They tapped into his disappointment from not winning the Nobel Peace Prize and created their own peace prize, the FIFA Peace Prize,
06:27which is like if NASCAR started handing out Peabody Awards.
06:30It means nothing.
06:32And no one, not even the president, knew who would get it.
06:35Have you been told that you were going to receive the inaugural Peace Prize today from FIFA?
06:39I have not been told. There's a rumor about it, but I have not been told.
06:44I don't know that I'm getting it. I haven't been officially noticed.
06:46I've been hearing about a peace prize, but I want to really save lives. I don't need prizes.
06:51Yeah, but if you're handing them out, I'll take two.
06:54I mean, he knew full well he was getting this dumb fake prize.
06:57That's why he showed up at the event.
06:59This whole scam was concocted by the president of FIFA, Gianni Infantino,
07:03who looks like Voldemort trying to sell you a timeshare.
07:06I have to say, Trump was so pleased.
07:10He hasn't been this happy since the day before Eric was born.
07:14Mr. President, this is your prize. This is your peace prize.
07:20There is also a beautiful medal for you that you can wear everywhere you want to go.
07:28Right now.
07:29Okay, let me hold. Ah, fantastic. Excellent.
07:36He couldn't hand out all those Kennedy Center medals without getting one himself.
07:42You know how when you bring a birthday present to an eight-year-old,
07:44you have to bring another one for a five-year-old brother?
07:48This was basically that.
07:50This is truly one of the great honors of my life.
07:53And beyond awards, Gianni and I were discussing this.
07:56We saved millions and millions of lives.
07:58So many different wars that we were able to end, in some cases, a little bit before they started.
08:05That's right.
08:08Wars begin at the moment of conception.
08:10It's, uh...
08:11I think wars have to start before you end them, no?
08:14How would that work?
08:15Like, he calls up France and goes,
08:16Don't you even think about going into Finland?
08:18Everyone, putting a made-up medal around your neck and bragging about it is like masturbating
08:24and telling your friends you got laid this weekend.
08:26It is really...
08:28It's so...
08:30It's so sad.
08:34One of the greatest honors of his life.
08:36Everyone, even his family, knows this is a BS prize designed to keep him from screwing up the World Cup.
08:42Except for him, it is so...
08:43It's so deeply pathetic, it almost makes me feel bad for him.
08:46I want to thank, uh, by the way, uh, my family, my great first lady.
08:53Melania, you're right here, and thank you very much.
08:58See, that smile always gives way to pain.
09:01It never...
09:03Thank you, Melania.
09:04Your contractual obligations for the month of December are now complete.
09:07You really don't have to hand it to this FIFA guy.
09:10He spent $300 at a trophy shop.
09:12He got the President of the United States to do anything he wants.
09:15Mr. President, this way, this way.
09:18Or this way, whatever.
09:19You can do what you want.
09:21I will just show you how it works.
09:23I've done a few of them.
09:25Don't be scared, right?
09:27So, you have to, uh, basically mingle the balls a little bit.
09:31That's right.
09:32You mingle the balls.
09:34You mingle the balls, and then you fondle the shaft.
09:36I was...
09:37This whole thing is so embarrassing.
09:40It really is.
09:41Uh, look at his face when they-they show him the medal.
09:44He does this...
09:45And then he does this cringy little move where he kind of yoinks it out of the box.
09:50It's like the Grinch stealing the stars of Sidney Lee's Christmas tree.
09:57And then we have our-our lumbering dope grinning from ear to ear with this meaningless medal.
10:03Like a fat kid who gets a karate trophy for breaking a piece of balsa wood.
10:08And the-the FIFA guy is like, President Trump, are you such a big boy?
10:12You-you stop-so many wars.
10:15We have a golden pizza prize just-for you, because you're so, so good.
10:20Even the trophy looked like it didn't want to be seen there.
10:22Look at this trophy.
10:23It looks like-it's like an embarrassed teenager hiding his head in his hands.
10:30Meanwhile, the bombs keep dropping on our Secretary of War Crimes, Pete Hegseth,
10:35who's a front-runner for the next presidential pardon,
10:38after the so-called double tap on that boat,
10:41or should I say on the people who were in the boat before the boat was capsized by U.S. missiles,
10:47the president and top lawmakers from both parties say
10:50they want the video of the strike to be released.
10:53But Pete Hegseth, even though he claims it was all legal and clean,
10:56he doesn't seem so eager to want that.
10:58So, Mr. Secretary, you will be releasing that full video?
11:01We are reviewing it right now.
11:03Is that a yes or no?
11:04That is, for-the most important thing to me
11:08are the ongoing operations in the Caribbean?
11:11No, right.
11:14Listen, he doesn't have time to release potential evidence of war crimes.
11:17He's very busy committing new ones right now.
11:20Trump initially said he agreed the video should be released,
11:23but then he said he didn't say that, which he did say.
11:26So far, he's been standing by Pete Hegseth,
11:29but maybe not after he sees this.
11:31This is Pete Hegseth speaking about this very subject
11:34and the president nine years ago.
11:37It's typical Trump.
11:38All bluster, very little substance.
11:41The military's not going to follow illegal orders.
11:42If you're doing something that is just completely unlawful
11:45and ruthless, then there is a consequence for that.
11:49That's why the military said it won't follow unlawful orders
11:52from their commander-in-chief.
11:54He talks a tough game, but then when pressed on it,
11:57he's an armchair tough guy.
11:59Now, Hegseth made those comments back in 2016
12:02before he had his spine removed
12:04or replaced with a Mar-a-Lago pool noodle, so...
12:07But it's really amazing.
12:08Everybody in Trump's cabinet just sold their soul.
12:11Hegseth calls him an armchair tough guy.
12:13J.D. Vance called him America's Hitler.
12:15RFK called him a buffoon.
12:17Cash Patel, well, he liked...
12:19I think he liked him from the beginning, which is worse.
12:21And then on the flip side, we have Marjorie Taylor Greene,
12:24who is now factoring into this...
12:26The big story here in Hollywood this weekend
12:28is Netflix buying Warner Brothers.
12:30Netflix reached a deal to buy Warner Brothers Discovery
12:33for $82.7 billion.
12:36Warner Brothers owns the rights to Harry Potter,
12:38Batman, Superman, for everything.
12:41They own every...
12:42If the deal goes through,
12:43Netflix will have everything on their app,
12:46but they have to get government approval first.
12:48Trump said he will be personally involved
12:51in the decision on the merger,
12:53which is a cute way of saying,
12:55I am currently accepting bribes
12:57to see if the merger goes through.
12:59But after the deal was announced,
13:00Netflix...
13:01I don't know if you got this,
13:02they sent an email to subscribers
13:03that said, nothing is changing today,
13:05which is what you tell your kids
13:06when you're getting divorced.
13:08But the other bidders were Comcast and Paramount,
13:12and Paramount is not giving up.
13:13Today, they launched a hostile takeover bid
13:15backed by a group of investors
13:17that include Jared Kushner
13:18and his Saudi benefactors.
13:20But at the end of the day,
13:21whichever company gets this
13:22is going to come down to whether the president
13:24would rather win the first-ever
13:26Netflix Warner Brothers Peace Prize
13:28or the HBO Paramount Medal of Honor.
13:31Today, Trump's mad at his buddy Larry Ellison,
13:34who owns Paramount, which owns CBS,
13:36which airs 60 Minutes,
13:38which last night aired an interview
13:39with Marjorie Taylor Greene,
13:40who did not have nice things to say about Trump.
13:43Trump responded.
13:44Today, he wrote,
13:45the only reason Marjorie Taylor Trader Brown,
13:48Greene turns Brown under stress,
13:51went bad is that she was jilted
13:53by the president of the United States.
13:55Certainly not the first time she has been jilted.
13:57Marjorie is not America First or MAGA.
14:00Her new views are those of a very dumb person.
14:03My real problem with the show, however,
14:05wasn't the low IQ Trader.
14:06It was that new ownership of 60 Minutes Paramount
14:08would allow a show like this to air.
14:10They are no better than the old ownership,
14:12who just paid me millions of dollars
14:14for fake reporting about your favorite president, me.
14:17Since they bought it,
14:1860 Minutes has actually gotten worse.
14:21Well, I'm sorry that you feel that way about 60 Minutes,
14:24and the last thing I want to do
14:26is upset you during this sensitive time,
14:28but I have one more bit of entertainment news to share,
14:31and that is that I have decided
14:32to extend my contract here at ABC for another year.
14:35Thank you all.
14:41And our show has been renewed.
14:48And so, uh, that's...
14:50Please, Seth said it's embarrassing,
14:52but our show's been renewed till May of 2027,
14:56or until the world ends, whichever comes through.
14:58But I thought about it.
15:00I decided I was given a lot of thought
15:02and decided I would like to spend less time with my family.
15:05And, um, so to our audience here and at home,
15:08I'm honored and humbled to be a part of your routine,
15:11whether it's in bed at night
15:12or during your morning toilet time.
15:15It means a lot to me to have your attention
15:17and to work with, uh, this great group of people
15:20for another year.
15:21My co-workers, even my co-workers,
15:22even the ones who do bad things,
15:24like, um, like, for instance,
15:26the ones who-who promise to hang out
15:28and maybe even sing a karaoke song with me
15:30at our Christmas party on Thursday night
15:33because, well, we've been friends
15:34ever since I discovered all five-foot-two of them
15:37working security in our parking lot.
15:39But then when our song came up...
15:42I end up standing there like an idiot,
15:46alone on stage with two microphones,
15:48singing a duet by myself
15:49because he told us he was going to the bathroom
15:52and instead snuck out to his car
15:54and went home the minute he finishes his dessert.
15:56So even people like that,
15:58I am excited to work with.
16:00Are you excited, Guillermo?
16:02Yeah, I'm very excited, Jimmy.
16:05But listen, I want to apologize.
16:07You do? Yeah.
16:08Yeah, I apologize.
16:09I promise you it won't happen again.
16:11Oh, you said that last year.
16:12No, this one, I swear to God...
16:14Oh, this year won't happen again again?
16:15No, it won't happen again, I swear.
16:18I'm gonna sing a duet with you.
16:20I promise you.
16:21Okay, Guillermo, that's great.
16:22Deal.
16:23Okay, great.
16:24Watch it.
16:25All right, let's get a picture of this.
16:27Deal.
16:28Because I'm gonna tell you something.
16:30I promise you.
16:31If you don't do it, I'm gonna sue you.
16:33Okay.
16:34You can do whatever you want.
16:36I am gonna take you to court, okay?
16:38Okay.
16:38Now go back to your chair
16:40and don't ever come over here again.
16:41All right.
16:42We have a fun show tonight.
16:44Tiana Taylor is here.
16:45We have music on Class of Class.
16:46Leonard with John Legend.
16:48And we'll be back with Quick Aggression.

17:03Tonight, she is a force to be reckoned with
17:05in Paul Thomas Amberson's One Battle After Another.
17:09And her TV show, All's Fair, Tiana Taylor is with us.
17:12And then later, this is her Grammy-nominated album
17:16called Tasha Music from Tasha Cobbs' Leonard and John Legend.
17:20This week...
17:21Oh, we got good shows this week with Matthew McConaughey,
17:25Jamie Lee Curtis, Rachel Sennett, Regina Hall,
17:28Pete Buttigieg will be here.
17:29We'll have music from Howard Jones

17:41You can see the mid-season finale of Abbott Elementary
17:44Wednesday night here on ABC.
17:46And the next day on Hulu, please welcome Quinta Brunson.
17:48How are you?
18:09Hi, guys. I'm so good.
18:10How stylish you are. Really stylish.
18:13Thank you. Thank you.
18:14What do you have on?
18:16It's the man outside when they hand you things to sign.
18:20Yeah.
18:20There was a nice man, a nice bald black man,
18:22who said, I like this dress.
18:24Ladies should wear more dresses like this.
18:26And I thought that was the sweetest compliment in the world.
18:29Oh, good. Well, I'm glad you took it
18:30because some people might say,
18:32hey, don't worry about what I'm wearing.
18:33Worry about what you're wearing, Baldy.
18:35That's what I should have said.
18:36You're right. Never mind.
18:37That's for that guy.
18:38Um, congratulations on your Golden Globe nomination this year.
18:42You got a Critics' Choice nomination a few days ago.
18:48Yes, thank you so much.
18:48That's pretty exciting.
18:50I'm very excited.
18:50Especially Critics' Choice because, um,
18:52my co-star, um, Chris Perfetti was nominated.
18:55And he plays Jacob on the show.
18:57And he's just been doing fantastic work
18:59for the past five years.
19:01And I'm really, really happy.
19:03And he's a very nice guy, too.
19:04He's so wonderful.
19:05Was he getting upset that everyone else was getting nominated?
19:07Never.
19:08He wasn't.
19:08He is the kindest man in the world.
19:10It's not a thought to him.
19:12He doesn't think about awards or nominations
19:13or anything except for acting.
19:16He's just an actor,
19:17and he comes to do a good job and be on set,
19:20um, and do good work.
19:22So he's the exact type of person
19:24that you want to see something like this
19:27have something for it.
19:28You want to see somebody who doesn't care about it get it.
19:31Yes.
19:31In the same way you want to see somebody
19:33who doesn't drive win a car.
19:35No, for maybe a bad analogy.
19:40Yeah.
19:42I want to ask you about the Eagles
19:43because they're playing on Monday Night Football tonight.
19:46And not only are they on Monday Night Football,
19:47they're, like, at SoFi Stadium not so far from us.
19:50Yes, I was given some free tickets.
19:52You were, yeah.
19:52But I had something else to do tonight.
19:54Yeah.
19:54Did you know that when you agreed to be on our show,
19:58you didn't put two and two together?
19:59No, I did not.
19:59In fact, they gave me the tickets.
20:01I went to the Bears game.
20:02They're not from Chicago.
20:07They're actually Bears.
20:08I went to that game where the Bears whipped us.
20:13And so, I don't know if we need to.
20:17But so I got some free tickets there.
20:19And I was like, you know, I don't know.
20:21I might have to work or something.
20:22And they were like, just take them.
20:23I checked my calendar.
20:24I was like, I think I'm in the clear.
20:25I can go to that game.
20:27And on my calendar, it just said JK, which I thought meant joke.
20:32Like.
20:32Just kidding.
20:33Free jokey joke time.
20:34And no, it meant Jimmy Kimmel.
20:36So I had to cancel going to the game.
20:39Yeah.
20:40I'm happy to be here.
20:41I know.
20:41I'm glad you're here.
20:42I know you're superstitious, though, because I remember you telling me once that,
20:45I think last season, you said you had to stop watching the games.
20:49And once you did stop watching the games, the Eagles won the Super Bowl.
20:52So maybe it's better that you're here right now.
20:56I think so.
20:57That's what I'm going to go with.
20:58The Eagles.
21:01Oh, speaking of the Eagles, I want to show you something,
21:03because this is something I saw a couple of weeks ago.
21:05I said, please save this for when Quinta is here.
21:07Oh, no.
21:07This is from a local Philadelphia public school.
21:10Aw.
21:11First game, we're here.
21:12Go dark and down.
21:13Let's go down.
21:14Oh, yeah.
21:15Oh, he's getting out.
21:16Go.
21:16Knock him out the game.
21:17Yes, yes, yes.
21:18Knock him out the game.
21:19He's out of the air.
21:20Oh, we got another one.
21:24Yes, yes.
21:25Yes.
21:25Nice work.
21:27Keep going.
21:28Give him another one.
21:30Let's go, Liam.
21:31Evo!
21:34Now, as a pretend educator in the Philadelphia area,
21:42should children be behaving like that at school?
21:46Should they be?
21:47Yes.
21:48Uh, probably not.
21:51Mm-hmm.
21:52But does it lay the groundwork for them
21:54to become full-fledged Philadelphia sports fans?
21:57Well, they already are before they even get to that school.
22:01It does seem like they were already filled with rage, weren't they?
22:04Yes, they are.
22:05You get that in the hospital the moment you're born.
22:08It's your doctor who's screaming,
22:11it's a boy, go birds at you when you're born.
22:14Doctor gives you a little slap, you slap the doctor right behind you.
22:17Yeah.
22:17That's how it goes.
22:19Yeah, I'm not ashamed of that clip.
22:20I'm proud of it.
22:21You, um, you started, I, uh, this is, uh, you know,
22:24particularly fun charity, I think.
22:26Yeah.
22:27What are your charities called?
22:28The Quinta Brunson...
22:29Yes.
22:30I thought it was, like, a little obnoxious to have the name in it,
22:32but they thought it would make people participate more.
22:35But it's called the Quinta Brunson Fund, uh, for field trips.
22:39For field trips?
22:40Yes, so field trips were a really, really, really big part
22:42of my, um, educational journey.
22:45The best thing about school.
22:46The best thing about school.
22:47Yeah.
22:48Really?
22:48The best thing about school.
22:50And, um, what many people don't know
22:53is that field trips are starting to go away
22:55in a lot of public schools.
22:56There's not a lot of money for field trips.
22:58Oh.
22:59Um, and so I just wanted to find a way
23:02where I can make the most impact
23:03in the Philadelphia school district.
23:05It's not always easy to make things happen
23:08that you want to make happen,
23:09but field trips were so big for me,
23:11and I realized that that's one thing
23:13where all it really took was money.
23:15Right.
23:15Um, and permission slips, but that's not my business.
23:17And all the permission slips, the whole thing.
23:19So, I started this fund for anyone
23:22who wants to donate.
23:23You don't have to be from Philadelphia.
23:24Um, I donated $20,000 to get it kicked off,
23:28and you guys don't have to match me.
23:29If you want to match me, you can.
23:31Um, yeah.
23:33Can I ask, what are your, like,
23:34do you have memories of field trips that you love?
23:37Yeah, so my teachers were amazing.
23:38Any book we read, they would try to take us
23:41to a field trip that, um, was inspired by the book.
23:44Really?
23:44Um, was, yeah, so one,
23:46what I remember was going to Grand Central Station
23:48because we read a story about a cricket
23:50that got lost in Grand Central Station.
23:52I don't remember the name of the book,
23:54um, but I remember the field trip.
23:56And that was only to New York.
23:58I'm from Philly.
23:59That's two hours away.
24:00But you'd be surprised how many kids from Philly
24:03never get to go to New York.
24:04That was my first time ever going there,
24:06and it changed my life.
24:08And I think that those field trips are important.
24:11I mean, I, I don't, I, I, we didn't take good field trips,
24:17um, when I was growing up.
24:18Yeah.
24:18I mean, in Brooklyn, we did.
24:19We would go to the planetarium, which was great.
24:21That's fun.
24:22And the Bronx Zoo, which was great.
24:23Right, right.
24:24But, um, when I was a Cub Scout, we took a field trip.
24:27Yeah.
24:27And we went to a Carvel ice cream store.
24:29You remember Carvel?
24:30Which I love, by the way.
24:32Yeah.
24:32But what happened was we went to the Carvel.
24:34Yeah.
24:35And we, uh, went behind the counter
24:36and saw how the machine worked.
24:38And then they sent us home.
24:39We never, we did not get anything.
24:40You didn't get any ice cream?
24:43That's cool.
24:44I, honestly, if I could go back in time,
24:46a lot of people say they would,
24:48there are a lot of things they would kill Hitler or whatever.
24:49I would go back to just before that to find out what the hell
24:54these people were thinking, sending us,
24:56sending a group of seven-year-old boys to Carvel
24:59and not giving them any ice cream.
25:01That's cruel.
25:02And if your fund was around, boy,
25:04maybe we would have had ice cream.
25:06Hey, look, I think you would have.
25:08And if people want to donate to this fund,
25:10you can help Little Jimmy's everywhere get that ice cream.
25:13All right, Little Big Jimmy's going to make a donation
25:15to the fund as well.
25:16Christopher Brunson, Abbott Elementary,
25:18we'll be right back.
25:19Good morning, Janine.
25:26Good morning, Barbara.
25:27And happy birthday.
25:30What are you going to do to celebrate?
25:31Okay, so last night, I was still 29.
25:34I go to Rubenstein's and turn up with my friends.
25:36But today, I'm 30.
25:38Very adult.
25:40So I'll be going to a very mature dinner
25:41with Gregory and my mommy.
25:44Your mother?
25:45Yeah.
25:46Oh, and she is arriving now.
25:48Breathing past the front door biddies.
25:49Meet you in the room with the sad people
25:51and the free food.
25:52She's on her way here.
25:54That is from the mid-season finale of Abbott Elementary,
25:57which you can watch Wednesday night.
25:59Quinta Brunson is with us.
26:01Your mom is played by Taraji P. Henson,
26:03which is fun.
26:04Yeah, it's fantastic.
26:04Is she anything like your real mom?
26:07No, my real mom is wonderful.
26:08Wait, hold on.
26:10Hold on.
26:11Hold on.
26:12Not too much on Taraji.
26:13Taraji, the person, is great.
26:15The character Veneta is horrible.
26:17The character.
26:17My mom is amazing.
26:18Yes.
26:19Yes, yes.
26:20My mom is amazing.
26:20Just to be clear.
26:21No, this is a fictional mother that was put together
26:24by stories of many horrible tales of mothers
26:27that I was fascinated with, just people
26:29who had really, really horrible relationships with their mom.
26:31So you say to the writers, you're like,
26:33OK, we got this character.
26:34It's my mom.
26:35She's a terrible woman.
26:36Tell me about your terrible mom stories.
26:38It's more they just start talking about their...
26:42They just start telling them.
26:43Yeah, I don't mind for it.
26:45But you know what?
26:46I think it's great to be able to explore
26:48those kinds of relationships
26:49because a lot of people relate to them.
26:51Yeah.
26:51They need healing from them.
26:52They need to know how to deal with them
26:53and reckon from them.
26:54So, or reckon with them.
26:56So, yeah, I like being able to explore that.
26:58And sometimes there's nothing...
26:59There's something about a true story
27:02that just, it hits...
27:04Just hits.
27:04Yeah, right?
27:05Yeah, yeah, it's really good.
27:06Yeah.
27:06And what did you do for your own 30th birthday?
27:09For my 30th birthday, I went to Vegas.
27:13Oh, you went to Las Vegas.
27:14I went to Las Vegas.
27:16I went to Las Vegas.
27:18I stayed at the Cosmopolitan.
27:21I didn't do anything special.
27:23I went to one of those weird little shows downstairs.
27:25Oh, a lounge show?
27:27Yeah, it's like the weird ones where it's like a play,
27:31but they're naked.
27:32Oh.
27:33Do you know what I mean?
27:34I don't know why they're naked.
27:35A what?
27:36Well, they're naked to get people to come to them.
27:38Yes.
27:38Yeah.
27:38See, I was there for the story.
27:40I was like, what?
27:40This doesn't connect.
27:41Why is the alien having sex with the maid?
27:44I don't understand.
27:46I was confused.
27:47So, why didn't you go...
27:48Why did you go to that show?
27:49Did you...
27:50It seemed just strange to you,
27:51and you thought that would be the one to see?
27:53I thought it was going to be a fun show about space.
27:55And then I get in there and...
27:57Titties.
27:58I was very confused.
28:00I didn't know.
28:00I had never been to a Vegas show before.
28:02That was my first time.
28:04And I just thought...
28:04I love that that's the one you went to.
28:06I thought the Cosmo was a family establishment.
28:09I didn't know that's what they were doing.
28:11You know what?
28:11None of it is really for the family.
28:13They say it is,
28:14and there are spots you can go,
28:16but...
28:16Yeah, no.
28:17No, they're saying...
28:18Yeah.
28:18But it's a good thing
28:19you didn't bring any kids along with you,
28:20because that would have been quite a surprise.
28:23You're also speaking of kids in Zootopia, too,
28:26the sequel to Zootopia.
28:27Yes.
28:28Yes, Zootopia, too.
28:30Really exciting.
28:30My kids loved that movie.
28:32That's great.
28:33The first one was so wonderful.
28:35I was so honored to ask
28:36to be part of the second one.
28:39It's an incredible...
28:40incredible movie.
28:42If you haven't taken your family yet,
28:44it's a great movie.
28:44I think everybody did.
28:45It seems like everybody in the world
28:47went to see it already, right?
28:48I know.
28:49I know.
28:49Yeah, it was either like that
28:50or Wicked over the break.
28:53Well, I promise you, yes,
28:54we will be seeing that movie
28:55over and over and over and over
28:56and over and over and over again.
28:58Yeah, yeah, yeah.
28:59I'm excited.
28:59Well, it's great to see you.
29:01The mid-season finale...
29:03Yes.
29:03Mid-season finale is what we're calling it.
29:05It's like halftime of the season.
29:07Yes.
29:07Don't you have that, too, here?
29:09No, no.
29:09We just keep going and going and going
29:11until people throw up.
29:12I hope you keep going and going
29:13and going for really long.
29:14Well, thank you.
29:15I appreciate that.
29:16The great Quinta Brunson, everybody.
29:18Abbott Elementary, Wednesday nights,
29:208, 3rd, 4, and 86.
29:22Watch it the next day on Hulu.
29:23We'll be back with Tiana Taylor.
29:25All right, there's a lot of that.
29:35These are from Kata Cobb's Leonard and John Legend
29:37is on the way.
29:38Our next guest is having a very good year.
29:40Her album, Escape Room, is up for a Grammy.
29:42She has a hit TV show on Hulu called All's Fair,
29:45and this morning she was nominated for a Golden Globe
29:47for the movie One Battle After Another.
29:50This is a new consciousness.
29:52New consciousness?
29:53Yeah.
29:55I'm not your other buddy.
29:58I'm not your mother.
30:02You want your power over me,
30:04the same reason you want your power over the world.
30:07You and your crumbling ego
30:10will never do this revolution like me.
30:12One battle after another is in theaters and on demand now.
30:15Please welcome Tiana Taylor.
30:38How are you?
30:40Hey, y'all.
30:41Yeah.
30:42You know what?
30:43You look like an award winner in this outfit you have.
30:46Oh, my God, thank you.
30:47I knew I was coming to see you today.
30:49I was like, let me throw in my suit.
30:51Congratulations.
30:52I just mentioned, I mean,
30:53you seem to have been nominated for all the awards there are.
30:56You might get a FIFA Peace Prize while you're out.
31:00Maybe.
31:02Take me through your morning.
31:03Do you wake up to find out if you're nominated?
31:06How does it work?
31:07Yeah, it's crazy because I had got my feet and nails done
31:09late last night,
31:10and I wound up falling asleep on the couch.
31:14And usually, I'm like a 7 a.m. waker-upper.
31:16Okay.
31:17The nominations came on at 5.
31:19Right.
31:19For some reason, it was like,
31:20I just kept tossing and turning,
31:22and then my people was in the kitchen making noise,
31:25and I sleep light.
31:25So I woke up, and it was on.
31:27I was like, ah!
31:27And I tried to turn back around and go back to sleep,
31:30but then I couldn't.
31:31So I was just sitting there watching.
31:33My stomach was in my booty.
31:35I was just like, what is, what's about to happen?
31:37And I guess what we was watching was delayed
31:39because then my whole team called me on a group chat.
31:41It was like 20 of us.
31:42Oh.
31:43Well, my agents, everybody called me like, ah!
31:45Congratulations!
31:46And I was like, wait, they didn't say it yet.
31:47Come on, what's happening?
31:49Yeah, so...
31:50Somebody had hit pause on your DVR.
31:52Yeah, I was like, I'm a little delayed.
31:54I'm a little delayed.
31:55Who was most excited in your family about this?
31:57My mom.
31:58Your mom?
31:58My mom.
31:59Everybody is super excited,
32:00but I actually get scared when I'm nominated for something
32:03because she will, like, almost catch an asthma attack.
32:07I'm like, girl, you have to calm down.
32:08Oh, really?
32:09No, she's like, ah, ah, ah, ah!
32:11I'm like, mom, like, you know, I'd be scared.
32:16I'm like, winning is scared.
32:18Yeah, right.
32:19It's scary.
32:20Winning is scary because my mom is, like, hyperventilating.
32:22I'm like, girl, you got to calm down.
32:24How are you going to handle this with your mom
32:26if she comes, will she come with you to any of these shows?
32:28That's what I'm saying.
32:28I'm going to, she is going to come with me,
32:30but we're going to have to have a little talk before we go
32:33and get this popping because it's like, girl.
32:35A doctor with you is really what you need.
32:36That's what I'm saying.
32:37I mean, I'm already in culinary school.
32:39I'm thinking maybe I should just go to school for, you know,
32:41to be a nurse as well.
32:42You are going to culinary school, right?
32:44Yeah, maybe it would make sense to take a paramedic class.
32:47You know what I'm saying?
32:48I mean, at this point, I'm doing, I'm doing everything.
32:50I love that you're going to culinary school.
32:52In the middle of this, you've got all this stuff going on
32:55with the music career and the acting career,
32:57and you're like, I'm going to learn to cook.
32:59Yes, because culinary, cooking, the art of it,
33:02keeps me grounded.
33:05You know, it gives you the time to be in the kitchen
33:07and be quiet, you know what I'm saying?
33:09And really just, like, cook and smell the food
33:12and taste test all the food and eat all the food,
33:15you know what I'm saying?
33:16When you say you're going to culinary school,
33:18do you go to a place and you're in a class
33:21with other students learning how to chop and that?
33:23I go to Escoffia.
33:25They actually do have a campus,
33:27but of course, I'm here with you.
33:28I can't be on campus, so I get to do it online,
33:31which is actually harder because you don't have
33:33your chef there to say,
33:35no, fix this, fix this.
33:36It's kind of like, figure it out.
33:38So you keep up no matter where you are.
33:39I keep up no matter where.
33:40I was on my way to the one battle after another premiere
33:43doing my discussion panels,
33:46my discussion forums.
33:47Like, I don't play no games.
33:47Like, I take pride in making sure
33:49my schoolwork is turned in.
33:51I'm a straight-A student.
33:54I'll be so proud.
33:56I'll be so proud.
33:57What do you like making?
33:58What are you learning to make,
33:59and what do you enjoy making?
34:01You know what's crazy?
34:02Out of everything, I've been learning so much.
34:03Like, I mean, like, fabricating protein,
34:05all types of stuff.
34:06But my favorite, and I think it's the kids' favorite,
34:08is making pizza from scratch.
34:10Making pizza from scratch.
34:11Yeah, it was really, really good.
34:13But it wasn't like DiGiorno, delivery of DiGiorno.
34:16It wasn't that.
34:16Like, it's like real brick-style, like, pizza.
34:20But I also made butter from scratch, cornbread,
34:23um, whipped cream, uh, palms puree,
34:28pilaf rice, all types.
34:30I mean, I'm learning.
34:31I even opened up my palate to a lot of things
34:34that I thought I would have.
34:34Oh, it's now making you eat more things.
34:35Yeah, I've never been a fan of zucchini.
34:37Until now.
34:39Until I made it.
34:40It's so much stuff that I'm like,
34:42ooh, I would never, ooh, ooh, did you?
34:43How am I going to pass this test?
34:45But then...
34:45I know you like to bring food, as I recall,
34:48to the award shows.
34:49I sneak food.
34:50I smuggle food into the award show.
34:51You smuggle food into the award show.
34:53Yes, I do.
34:53Which is smart, because they go on for four hours,
34:55and nobody has anything to eat.
34:57Yeah, yeah, yeah.
34:58Just as long as I don't get banned, you know?
35:00Yeah, well, no, I don't think you can get banned for that.
35:02In fact, people get pretty excited.
35:03In fact, at the Golden Globes,
35:04it's like a circular table, right?
35:06You know what I heard?
35:07That the food be good at the Golden Globes.
35:09Oh, so they do have food at the Golden Globes.
35:11Yeah, they said it's a round table.
35:12You've been there.
35:13No, I've never been to the Golden Globes.
35:14You've never been to the Golden Globes?
35:15No, no.
35:15You're going to come celebrate your friend?
35:16I'm not saying I'm going to win.
35:17I'm just saying.
35:18Yeah, I'll come with you, sure.
35:20We're going to have on our suits.
35:21Will your parents be mad, or your mom be mad?
35:24No, I just think you've got to bring an inhaler.
35:26You know, you're going to have to work.
35:27You know what I'm saying?
35:28I'll take CPR class, and then I'll come with you.
35:30Yeah, because we gots to calm Nicky Taylor down.
35:32And she'd be so cute.
35:34She'd just be so happy.
35:35She was on the plane today, didn't have no Wi-Fi,
35:37so she couldn't get on the group chat call today.
35:39So she's in the text like, I'm losing it on this plane.
35:42At all times, there's no Wi-Fi.
35:44She finally got the Wi-Fi.
35:45By the way, you were absolutely great in the movie.
35:48I did want to say that.
35:49And you and Leo really do some making out.
35:56And so, I mean, there's some, there's licking involved.
35:59There's all sorts of stuff happening there.
36:01That's all you got from that?
36:02Well, it's not all I got, but it's the top line item.
36:07And so, do you, like, did you, when you work with Leo,
36:12had, like, were you, like, just Titanic?
36:14You're too young for that, right?
36:16You know what's crazy is, technically,
36:18I was too young for Titanic.
36:20I was not too young to be in front of a windowpane
36:23singing Celine Dion with everything in me.
36:26Like, literally, when Titanic came out,
36:29it would be, I was, like, seven or eight, first of all, you guys.
36:31And I would be in the hallway playing around with my friends.
36:34Like, we all play in the hallway.
36:35And my mom would play, you know,
36:38the Titanic soundtrack out loud.
36:40And while all the other kids is playing,
36:42my ear is to the door.
36:43And, I mean, I'm singing every night.
36:45And, I mean, I'm, like, singing my heart out,
36:48like, I'm in front of a windowpane and it's raining.
36:50You hear me?
36:50I said, listen, I am too young to be this invested
36:54into the Titanic and Celine.
36:56But it was just everything.
36:58And you loved the movie itself?
36:59I loved the movie itself, yes.
37:01I loved the movie.
37:02I loved the soundtrack.
37:02Like, everything.
37:03I was mad when my girl threw it,
37:06threw the chain back in the pool.
37:08Right.
37:08I was upset about that.
37:09I said, you already threw Jack.
37:11Now you're going to throw the chain.
37:14Yeah, she's very inconsiderate.
37:15One thing she's going to do is put something under that water.
37:17She's going to let it go.
37:19She let that hand go, oh, you frozen, goodbye.
37:21And then put the chain in there.
37:23I said, oh, my God.
37:24I don't even know what to congratulate.
37:26Congratulations on all of the things, I guess.
37:28Yeah, maybe next time you come back,
37:31we could do some cooking or something like that.
37:32That would be so much fun.
37:33You could show us something that you've learned.
