- Do you know that you and I went on a vacation together?
(audience chuckle)
We went to The Bahamas.
Liev Schreiber was on the plane.
- Oh yeah.
- And Fergie sang.
- Oh my gosh. Um.
Okay. I...
That was really fun. (Titus laughs)
I have a really weird backstory to that trip
that I just, I...
Oh my God. - Can we tell it or no?
- Like I, yeah, I got too drunk on that flight
and I was like, horrified, and I...
It was like so embarrassing.
- This was like a tiny plane.
You could feel like all the bumps.
It was awful.
- God. - I mean, it was fun,
but it was awful. - I'm so like mortified.
I've changed my life a lot since that flight.
(Titus laughs) (audience laughs)
Okay. Well, I mentioned that you had directed
like the church choir you were in
when you were 11 months old...
"11 months old." (audience laughs)
By the way, I was 11 months old when I started.
11 years old.
And like, how, what was like the moment
that like you even discovered you could sing?
Do you remember where you were?
- Well, my grandmother sings, or sang,
and my mom sings.
And so we were just all singing all the time.
And then I was starting to play the piano
at a very young age.
And the minister of music there quit,
and so I just started directing it.
But like, trying to tell adults what to do when you're 11?
Not so much. They were not having it
- But you did it. - But I did it.
And they sounded good too.
(audience laughs)
- I mean, you must have been really proud of yourself.
- I was very proud of myself.
- Um. Okay, um...
I hear we're both single.
- You're single? - I, oh yeah.
(audience laughs)
I haven't dated... - How are you single?
- Really? You think so? - Yeah.
Yeah!
- I... Well, thank you.
- Do you wanna be dating? Are you dating?
- I go on dates. (Titus exclaims)
I do. I go on dates.
What is it like for you right now?
- Well, the truth is I was in a 10 year relationship,
and it ended last August,
and it's really hard like
prying your energy apart from someone
and realizing what is your own
before you went into the relationship
and what are you left with.
And so what is it like?
It's been very difficult,
but illuminating, eyeopening.
And I think we're both better for it.
We love each other, me and my ex-partner.
He's a lovely man,
and we learned a lot from each other.
But our time, you know, expired and we move on.
Do you like dating?
I find it to be incredibly uncomfortable.
It's...
I haven't done it in so long.
- Like, what makes you uncomfortable about it?
- Very good.
I don't really care about- (chuckles)
(audience laughs)
what people think, and for like an hour,
or however long the dinner is,
I'm supposed to sit and pretend to be interested.
And I know that defeats the purpose
'cause you want to like be interested
in the person you're gonna date, right?
But if you're not overwhelmingly a thinker
or compassionate or if you don't like dogs,
then it's gonna be over.
- Right. - You know?
- Okay, so what would you,
if you were to enter another dating phase or a relationship,
what would you be looking for?
- Well...
You have to be compassionate and care about the world.
You have to have something that you're focused on,
your own career. I can't be anyone's world.
- If you don't work, we don't work.
That's my motto. - Oh, yeah.
Well, right. - Keep it.
- Yeah.
Try it on.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
What else? I think,
and they gotta be able to cook or at least
love to eat what I'm cooking.
And they have to be really funny.
- Okay.
- So if you find him, bring him to me.
- I would... (audience laughs)
Don't get me involved in your dating life,
'cause I will get involved in your dating life.
For some reason I'm better with others than my own.
I think that's what everybody's everything.
- Yes, of course.
I can't believe we're having this conversation.
(audience laughs)
I'm here to talk about "Schmigadoon!".
- Let's talk about "Schmigadoon!".
- [Titus] Oh yes.
(Drew laughs) (audience applauds)
- You're the Narrator this season.
- I'm the Narrator. - This is the second season.
This is a great show.
A total hit.
How is this season for you?
- It is so good.
Cinco Paul wrote the hell out of this season.
It's such a love letter to musical theater,
and it has so many twists and turns
and I get to be really dark and salacious
and it's really satisfying.
It was satisfying to film.
I hope it's satisfying to watch.
- Well actually, we have a clip here.
(audience applauds) Go ahead,
let's roll that clip.
♪ Joshie's rotting in jail ♪
♪ For the death of Elsie Vale ♪
♪ Oh, Joshua, why did you do it ♪
- I, I didn't.
Aren't you omniscient?
- Am I? Who knows?
(audience applauds)
- I mean, this show is such a hit.
It is so much fun,
and it has such a stellar cast.
By the way, I heard you're a fan of Easter.
- Yes. - You are?
- Oh, it's one of my favorite holidays.
- Really? - Yeah.
- [Drew] Well, will you Easter it up with me?
- Yes.
- I have a little garden we can go to.
- Let's go. - All right.
(upbeat music)
