00:00Sometimes those quiet moments are the best ones.
00:03Alright then, what's something that can always make you laugh?
00:08Probably being around people who don't take themselves too seriously.
00:10Once everybody starts joking around, I'm usually laughing too.
00:14I think you'd fit right in around here.
00:17Okay, what's your perfect way to spend a completely free day?
00:22Honestly, I'd keep it simple.
00:24Sleep in a little, enjoy some good food, listen to music, and just have a relaxing day.
00:28That actually sounds like a pretty good day.
00:31If you could take a vacation anywhere, what kind of place would you choose?
00:37Somewhere peaceful and beautiful, probably near the water, where I could relax, enjoy the scenery, and completely unplug for a
00:44while.
00:44Peace, water, and no schedule, I can understand that.
00:47Now here's the important question, on that vacation, are you relaxing all day, or are you looking for an adventure?
00:53I'd probably do both. Give me some time to relax, but after that I'd definitely want to get out, explore,
00:59and have some fun.
01:00That's the perfect balance.
01:02What's something you've always wanted to learn how to do?
01:07I'd love to learn another language really well. I think it'd be amazing to communicate with people in a completely
01:12different way.
01:14That could open up a whole new world for you.
01:17What's something about you that people might be surprised to discover?
01:22I think people might be surprised by how much I enjoy the simple things.
01:26I can be perfectly happy just relaxing, listening to music, and enjoying a quiet moment.
01:30Sometimes simple is exactly what you need.
01:33Well, we've learned a lot about you tonight, but now I want to see how quickly you can think.
01:38It's time for the offstage quick five. Don't overthink it. Just give us your first answer.
01:42Number one, early bird or night owl?
01:45Night owl.
01:48Okay, number two, sweet or salty?
01:53Sweet.
01:54Number three, movies at home or a night out?
01:57Movies at home.
01:59Number four, ocean or mountains?
02:02Ocean.
02:03Okay, last one.
02:08Number five, music or movies? Music.
02:11I had a feeling you might say that.
02:15And you survived the quick five.
02:22You handled that pretty well.
02:26I was starting to get a little nervous.
02:30Well, let's make this one easy.
02:32What always puts you in a good mood?
02:34Good music and being around people who make me laugh.
02:38That sounds like a pretty good combination.
02:42What's something silly that can make you laugh every single time?
02:46Someone trying to stay serious and then suddenly cracking up.
02:49That always gets me.
02:53Okay, Jafar, I want to ask you something a little more personal.
02:56There's someone named Maddie Simpson who seems very special to you.
03:00What can you tell us about Maddie?
03:01Maddie means a lot to me.
03:03She's someone I care about very deeply and I'm grateful to have her in my life.
03:08It's good to have people in your life who really matter to you.
03:11What do you value most in someone who's really close to your heart?
03:15Trust, honesty, and being able to completely be yourself around each other.
03:19I think it's time we let our audience join the conversation.
03:26Jafar, what's one lesson you've learned that you'll carry with you for the rest of your life?
03:30To stay true to who you are and never stop learning, no matter where life takes you.
03:38Let's hear another one.
03:41Jafar, what's something you still dream of accomplishing someday?
03:44I'd love to keep creating work that reaches people around the world and leave something meaningful behind.
03:53Let's get another question.
03:56Jafar, if you could give your younger self one piece of advice, what would it be?
04:00I'd tell myself to trust the journey, be patient, and never let fear stop me from trying something new.
04:08Let's go to someone over here.
04:11Jafar, what's one thing that keeps you grounded when life gets really busy?
04:16Spending time with the people I care about reminds me what's really important.
04:23Let's hear from someone on this side.
04:25Jafar, what is something your family has taught you that you hope you'll never forget?
04:29To always stay humble, appreciate the people around you, and never forget where you come from.
04:38We have time for one more.
04:41Jafar, when people look back on your career someday, what do you hope they'll remember most about you?
04:46I hope they remember that I gave everything I had, stayed true to myself, and created something that meant something
04:51to people.
04:53You've already accomplished so much, but I know you're still looking ahead.
04:57What's one dream you haven't reached yet?
04:59I want to keep growing creatively and build something of my own that can inspire people for years to come.
05:03I love that you're thinking beyond just the next moment.
05:06And I think there's even more behind that.
05:08When you think about your next chapter, what do you want to challenge yourself to do differently?
05:12I want to take more creative risks, step outside my comfort zone, and try things people might not expect from
05:18me.
05:18That's where you can discover something completely new about yourself.
05:21And sometimes that's where the best surprises begin.
05:24You've inherited an incredible family legacy, but what do you want people to recognize as uniquely yours?
05:28My own voice, my own choices, and the kind of stories I choose to tell.
05:31I want people to know me for what I create as Jafar.
05:33That's important. You can honor where you come from and still create your own path.
05:36And that path is yours to shape.
05:39Jafar, years from now, what would make you look back and feel that you truly succeeded?
05:42If I stayed true to myself, kept the people I love close, and made work that genuinely touched people's lives,
05:48I'd call that success.
05:49That's a kind of success nobody can measure with numbers.
05:52And it's the kind that lasts.
05:53Before we move on, I want to ask you one last thing.
05:55What are you most excited to discover about the person you're still becoming?
05:58I'm excited to discover how far I can grow when I keep challenging myself and stay open to wherever life
06:03takes me.
06:03That's a beautiful way to walk into your future.
06:06And we're not finished having fun yet.
06:09Now, Jafar, we've done a lot of talking tonight, but something tells me this audience wants to see us do
06:13a little more than talk.
06:14I think they want all three of us to get up and show them something.
06:17I'm ready whenever you two are.
06:19Oh, we're ready.
06:20But we're going to make them wait just a little longer.
06:24You said you're ready, Jafar. We're going to remember that.
06:27I meant it. Let's do this.
06:30All right. When we come back, all three of us are hitting that stage together.
06:39We came alive when the lights came on.
06:41Feel that rhythm. Let it carry us on.
06:43Three hearts moving when the beat gets strong.
06:46Tonight we bring it home.
06:54Now that was worth getting off the couch for.
06:57I knew the three of us were going to have some fun.
06:59You two weren't kidding. That was incredible.
07:03Come on, let's sit down before they make us do it again.
07:09You definitely brought some energy to that stage.
07:12I had to keep up with the two of you somehow.
07:16Tonight we've seen so many sides of you and I hope people got to know the person behind all the
07:20work.
07:20That's what I hoped for. I wanted people to see a little more of who I really am.
07:24The people, the lessons, and the moments that reminded me why I started.
07:29Those are the things nobody can take away from you.
07:33Exactly. That's what makes the journey worth it.
07:39Jafar, thank you for sitting down with us and letting everyone see more of who you are.
07:43Thank you both. I really enjoyed this. You made me feel right at home.
07:47The door is always open. Come back anytime.
07:50I definitely will. Thank you.
07:54What a night. Jafar, we're so glad you came and shared it with us.
07:58And thank you to everyone watching for spending this time with us.
08:01Thank you. This has been unforgettable.
08:04Good night, everybody.
08:05We'll see you next time.
