-I was gonna ask you how Honest Company's doing,
but I already know. -It's great.
It's going really well, yeah. -Yeah, it's great.
I feel super, just, lucky and blessed.
-I mean, congrats on this. -Thank you.
This thing's, like, almost worth, like,
a billion dollars or something.
-Oh, people put valuations on it,
but at the end of the day, like, I had this idea.
I just felt like people should have
safer and healthier options... -I use it.
-...for them to live their best life.
-Yeah, but you started with, what -- with diapers?
-I started with baby products,
personal-care products for the family and cleaning,
and now we're in beauty. -Wow.
-So we have a whole makeup and skin line.
-And how long have you been doing this?
-Only seven years. -Really?
-Yeah. -Congrats on that.
-So, it's like it's still really young -- thank you.
-Oh, please, I'm so happy for you. That's unbelievable.
-But I got to a point with the business --
I have a great CEO, and he's my partner,
and I got to a point with the business where I was like,
I miss acting.
-Really, yeah. -Yeah.
-'Cause, yeah, you kind of, like, said,
"Well, uh, I'll act a little bit."
-Yeah, I stopped doing it for about ten years --
almost eleven years since I had Honor.
-But you crushed your company.
I mean, it's amazing. It's taken off.
-Thank you. -But now -- now, you ---
So, you got back into acting.
-So, then -- then I got this opportunity.
Jerry Bruckheimer called,
and Gabrielle Union called, and --
-We love Gabrielle Union.
-And I was like, "I'll take that call, um...
Of course. Like, I'm honored. Like, what's this about?"
And they sent a script, and, you know,
I've always wanted to be an action hero.
That was always like --
I wanted to be Bruce Willis in "Die Hard."
I didn't want to be the girl getting saved.
-Yeah, I see what you're saying, yeah.
-I wanted to be, you know,
the one doing the action and the comedy and all of that,
and this is the first time I've ever read a female --
and two women, two women of color --
that are starring in an action genre.
It's really cool. -Good for you, yeah.
Yeah, that's great.
[ Cheers and applause ]
It's called, um --
It's called "L.A.'s Finest,"
and it's you and Gabrielle Union,
and, basically -- I mean, without...
You're-- You're police officers.
-We're police officers. -Yeah.
-L.A.'s finest. -L.A.'s finest, yeah, exactly.
Kind of, title says what it is, really.
-We may live in the gray area of the law.
We don't always, uh... -Ooh!
-...you know, do the right thing,
but we got each other's back.
-Dangerous! Yeah! -A little dangerous.
A little mysterious background, but we're cracking jokes,
And L.A. is a character in the show,
and what's so cool is we have a family-friendly set.
-You do? -We do.
-So the kids get to see you do all these stunts and everything?
-Yeah, and I set up my trailer so that, like,
there's a whole, like, baby situation,
and then Gab had her baby, so, set her trailer up.
-Oh, my gosh. -And it's not just us.
Like, even the crew --
We had a teachers' strike, and the crew got --
some of the crew members just didn't have childcare,
and we didn't even bat an eye
when they were bringing their children to set,
and they're, like, by video village
and they're saying "action" and "cut"
and just hanging out all day.
-Really? -Yeah.
-That's the way to do it, right? -And in Hollywood --
I don't know if you guys know this,
but that's just -- that's, like, unheard of.
-It really yeah.
-But when two women are executive producing...
-That's what -- yeah, see... -...family friendly.
-That's what you get. -Family friendly.
-Make it work, yeah. -Yeah.
-Uh, I want to show a clip.
Here's Jessica Alba and Gabrielle Union
in "L.A.'s Finest." Take a look at this.
You're the only person around here
who can get his hands on this.
-You and me have an understanding.
-Which ended the second your hardware was used on the LAPD.
-You can't prove nothing.
-Last chance to do this friendly.
-No, no, no. I got this.
See, normally, Syd is the one who would lose her cool,
and I would calm her down,
but there's a kid involved,
and I'm not playing good cop tonight.
-You're bluffing. -She can't bluff.
-It's -- It's a whole thing.
-If you don't talk by the time I'm done,
I'm gonna pull this trigger. -McKenna.
-LAPD tracks every round that we fire,
but if one of your guns goes off...
Accidents happen, right?
-Time's up!
[ Cheers and applause ] -Ohh! Come on!
Jessica Alba, everybody!
