Transcript
00:00Hi guys, I'm Michael Michelle Harris. My character's name on Mixed-ish is Santa
00:04Monica Johnson. I am seven years old, Santa Monica is five, and let's do it.
00:15My character's name is Santa Monica Johnson. She is the youngest of three.
00:21She is five. She loves Madonna and Cyndi Lauper, and she's always playing around
00:30with her brother and sister. She's also trying to fit in. Well, there's a big
00:34difference. There's also a slight difference, and the slight difference is
00:40that she has siblings. I have siblings. She loves music. She loves to play
00:51around. The big difference is that she's five, of course. She is very sassy.
00:58Trust me, I wouldn't be here today. She loves to do pageants. I don't think I'm
01:05into pageants. I haven't tried it yet. I feel like my co-stars are kind of my
01:09family, and my other family, they are, I'm a baby, so, and I'm the baby on Mixed-ish,
01:19so it's kind of the same between my real family and my co-stars. When I got the role
01:26of Mixed-ish, I cried. I screamed. The whole house could hear me. My brothers and
01:32sisters came down to see if I was okay, and I said, I'm fine, I'm fine. I just got
01:36the role of Mixed-ish. There's this one cool story where in an episode, there was
01:43like, we had to spark, and it was the Christmas episode, and we were all gathered
01:49around this table, all talking, and then my mom came down and just messed everything
01:54up. She had like this ginormous robe on with towels sticking out all over it. It
02:00was the most fun scenes shoot.
