WONDERFUL MUSICALS, I SAW A PLAY, IT WAS GREAVMENT I ATE MY
WAY THROUGH IT. >> James: THAT IS WHAT-- WHAT

IT WAS TIME. >> James: TIME TO COME BACK,
WELL, WE LOVE YOU FOR THAT. FOR MAKING THE TRIP WITH THE JET
LAG AND EVERYTHING. AND NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT THERE FOR A
MINUTE. MOLLY SHANNON IS BUSIER THAN
EVER. YOU HAVE STARRED IN THREE
DIFFERENT SHOWS IN THE LAST YEAR.
YOU HAVE RE-RELEASED A MEMOIR. DARE I SAY, CAN I SAY THIS, I
THINK WE ARE IN THE MIDST OF A MOLLY SHANNAISANCE.
>> YES, I AGREE. >> WHEN HAVE WE NOT BEEN, TO BE
HONEST. >> James: BUT TO HAVE THREE
SHOWS IN ONE YEAR, I CAN'T EVEN GET MY HEAD AROUND IT, YOU HAVE,
I DIDN'T KNOW THIS, A VERY UNIQUE WAY OF MEMORIZING YOUR
LINES, YOUR DIALOGUE. HOW DOES THIS WORK?
TELL US WHAT YOU DO. >> WHAT I DO IS BUT IT IS SO
HARD TO MEMORIZE, I LIKE TO BE PRODUCTIVE SO I SWIM WHILE I AM
MEMORIZING SO I TAKE THE SCRIPT AND I WRITE THE FIRST LETTER OF
THE WORD SO SAY IF MY LINE WAS I'LL SEE YOU LATER I WOULD RIGHT
ISYL. AND THEN I WOULD WRITE, AND I
GET A POSTER BOARD FROM THE DRUG STORE AND ISYL, THEN I WILL
RIGHT THE OTHER PERSON'S LINE THEN MY NEXT LINE, THE FIRST
LETTER OF THE WORD. AND THEN I SWIM BACK AND FORTH
AND LOOK AT THAT POSTER BOARD AND STUDY IT AND MEMORIZE, AND I
GET TO EXERCISE WHILE I'M MEMORIZING.
>> James: YOU'RE MEMOCIZ,ING. >> I LIKE THAT, YEAH, YEAH.
>> James: JOSH, EARLIER THIS MONTH YOU SOLD OUT THREE NIGHTS
AT RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL. >> THANK YOU, THAT SAY CLASSIC,
GREAT PLACE. >> James: HOW DID TU FEEL TO
BE BACK IN FRONTS EVER A BIG CROWD, WAS IT EVERYTHING YOU
WANTED IT TO BE. >> EVERYTHING AND MORE.
WE ALL, EVERY ONE OF US THAT ARE IN THE THEATRICAL COMMUNITY AND
ENTERTAINMENT COMMUNITY, TO NOT BE IN FRONT OF AN AUDIENCE, I
DID LIVE STREAMS THROUGHOUT THE PANDEMIC BUT IT IS STRANGE AFTER
90 MINUTES TO NOT HEAR APPLAUSE, I AM USED TO THAT SOMETIMES
ANYWAY, BUT TO BE OUT THERE, AND THERE IS NO LOVE, LIKES WHEN YOU
GET NEW YORK CITY TO EMBRACE YOU, THE SHOW WAS A LOVE LETTER
TO NEW YORK AND VERY VARIETIAL AND THEY GAVE ME THE STAGE TO DO
WHATEVER I WANTED WITH. WE HAD GREAT GUESTS AND GREAT
FUN AND I SANG MY FACE OFF AND WORE PANTS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN
AWHILE. JUST OVERALL A LOT OF FUN.
>> James: IT WOULD HAVE BEEN GOOD IF YOU DIDN'T WEAR PANTS.
THAT WOULD BE A REAL. >> NOBODY HAD CALLED ME DREAM
BOAT BEFORE THE SHOW. >> James: YOU WAIT.
>> SO NOW-- . >> James: I WANT TO SEES JOSH
GROG GROBAN DREAM BOAT TOUR. >> YEAH, I'VE CHANGED.
>> James: MOLLY, WE HAVE TO CONGRATULATE YOU, THIS SAY
BRILLIANT NEW SHOW. BRILLIANT NEW SHOW CALLED I LOVE
THAT FOR YOU. THE FOR ANYONE WHO DOESN'T KNOW,
TELL US WHAT IT IS ABOUT AND YOU PLAY.
>> THE WORLD OF SHOASM SHOCHING NETWORK AND I PLAY THE TOP
SALESMAN AND VANESSA AND JEREMY CREATED A SHOW T IS JUST GREAT,
VANESSA KIND OF CAUGHT ME HOW TO DO IT SHE IS LIKE WHEN THESE
LADIES SELL OBJECTS THEY ARE ALWAYS TOUCHING IT LIKE THIS TOP
CUP IS SO NEELT, IT IS CERAMIC, AND IT KEEPS THE BEVERAGE WARMT
AND THEN COME IN TEN DIFFERENT COLORS AND THEY ALWAYS HAVE A
GORGEOUS MANICURE, TOUCHING IT. AND IT IS SO CUTE BECAUSE IT HAS
A JAMES CORDEN LOGO, YOU KNOW, AND THIS IS MY FAVORITE CUP, TO
SIP TEA OUT OF WHEN MY VOICE IS-- .
>> James: ARE YOU A NATURAL SALES PERSON, HAVE YOU EVER DONE
ANYTHING LIKE THIS IN REAL LIFE. >> IN REAL LIFE I WAS A
FRAGRANCE MODEL WHEN I WAS AN ACTRESS.
MY FRIEND AND I USED TO GET HIRED AND SAY CAN YOU GO TO
FASHION SQUARE IN THE VALLEY AND YOU YOU KNOW, GIVE SAMPLES OF
THE FRAGRANCE, WE WOULD HAVE TO DRESS LIKE NEWS BOYS WITH A CAP
AND KNICKERS AND I WOULD HAVE TO BE GOING THROUGH THE MALL,
EXTRA, EXES TRA, READ ALL ABOUT T THERE SAY NEW FRAGRANCE IN
TOWN WITH SPICE AND MY FRIEND AND I WOULD BE LIKE PLEASE, GOD,
PRAY WE DON'T BUMP INTO ANYBODY WE KNOW BECAUSE WE ARE HAVE THE
DARKIE NEWS BOY OUTFITS ON. BUT USUALLY WHAT I WOULD DO IS
CHECK IN WITH THE PERSON, MADE SURE I GOT PAID, STANDING HERE
FOR MY CHECK AND THEN WITH MY HAT AND THEN I WOULD GO I'M
GOING TO GO UP TOWARD THE FRONT AND I WOULD GO TO THE FRONT WITH
MY FRAGRANCE BOTTLE AND THEN GO OUT INTO THE MALL AND FIND A BIG
STORE AND STAND IN THE BOOK STORE AND FIND A GOOD BOOK TO
READ FOR THREE HOURS AND THEN LEAVE, AND THAT WAS MY SHIFT.
>> James: DID YOU EVER GET FOUND OUT.
>> I DID, ONCE, ONCE, YEAH, THE WOMAN WHO RAN T I THINK GOT TO
THE POINT WHERE I WOULDN'T EVEN CHECK IN, I WOULD JUST SAY THAT
I WENT AND NOT GO. AND SO THE WOMAN THAT RAN IT
SAID MOLLY, DID YOU OR DID YOU NOT SHOW UP AT SANTA AT
NORDSTROM AND I WAS LIKE NO. AND SHE SAID WHY.
AND I SAID BECAUSE I'M A BAD GIRL.
