THAT WAS A CLIP FROM "ABBOTT ELEMENTARY," WHICH AIRS
CONGRATULATIONS ON THE SHOW.
THE BIGGEST HIT, I MEAN A HUGE HIT WITH CREDITS, WITH AUDIENCES
ALIKE. CURRENTLY IN ITS SECOND SEASON.
TELL EVERYBODY WHAT IS HAPPENING ON THE SHOW THIS SEASON.
>> GOOD, THIS SEASON IT IS MY CHARACTER GREGORY'S FIRST TIME
AS A FULL-TIME TEACHER. HE'S NOT DOING THE BEST AT THAT.
BUT ULTIMATELY IT WAS THIS NICE LITTLE ART WE LEWDED TO OF WHAT
HAPPENS WHEN CHARTER SCHOOLS START POPPING UP IN PUBLIC
SCHOOL AREAS AND HOW DO WE DEAL WITH THE DISPARITY WITH THOSE
STUDENTS, IT IS ONE THING TO TALK ABOUT THEM AND THEN THE
WHAT THEY WON'T SAY, WHICH I CANNOT TILL, I'M SO SORRY.
>> James: HOW LONG DO YOU THINK THE WILL THEY, WON'T THEY
SOMETHING-- THE SHOW IS GOING TO RUN I THINK THE FOR YEARS.
>> IT DEPENDS HOW LONG THEY WANT US TO GO CAN I CONFIRM THERE IS
A COURT THAT HAS NOT MADE A DECISION ABOUT WILL THEY OR
WON'T THEY. I THINK EVERYONE ASSUMES WILL
THEY, IT WILL, BUT SHE IS JUST LIKE I'M NOT POSITIVE IT WILL GO
THAT I WAY. >> James: THEY MIGHT WON'T
THEY. >> THEY MIGHT WON'T THEY.
>> James: YOU AND THE CREATOR OF THE SHOW AND THE STAR OF THE
SHOW, YOU HAVE BEEN FRIENDS FOR MANY YEARS, WHEN DID YOU FIRST
HEAR ABOUT THIS SHOW AND WHAT DID YOU THINK WHEN YOU HEARD
ABOUT IT? >> THIS SHOW WAS THE ONE SHINING
MOMENTS OF 2020. WE WERE LOCKED IN THE HOUSE, AS
MANY OF YOU PROBABLY WERE AS WELL.
QUINTA AND I REALIZED WE LIVED DOWN THE BLOCK FROM ONE SNORE
ANOTHER. IN THE MIDST OF THIS SHE CAME UP
WITH THIS IDEA AND DMED ME AS WE WERE CHECKING WITH EACH OTHER,
MAKE SURE WE WERE STILL, YOU KNOW, ALIVE, IN THE MIDST OF
EVERYTHING THAT WAS HAPPENING. AND IT WAS LIKE HEY, I'M
THROWING YOUR NAME INTO THIS PITCH AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS AND
IT JUST HAPPENED TO WORK OUT. >> James: I'M SO PLEASED IT
DID YOU ARE SO GOOD IN THE SHOAVMENT FOR THE FIRST TIME I
EVER SAW YOU WAS IN "EVERYBODY HATES CHRIS" WAS WHEN I-- I KNOW
IT WAS A LONG TIME AGO. BUT BILLIE, YOU ACTUALLY WANTED
TO BE CHRIS ROCK. >> YEAH, THERE SAY WEIRD
CONNECTION HERE. >> DID YOU READ?
>> THERE IS REALLY. >> I SHOULD HAVE READ, BUT IT IS
A TRUE STORY. WHEN I WAS GROWING UP MY MOM
ASKED ME WHAT I WANTED TO BE. AND AT 8 YEARS OLD I SAID CHRIS
ROCK. AND A NEUROSURGEON.
BOTH WHICH IS A REALLY WEIRD COMBINATION, BUT TRUE.
>> I WANT THOSE THINGS FOR YOU, YOU CAN STILL ACCOMPLISH YOUR
DREAMS, YOU STILL CAN. >> James: IF YOU ARE 8 YEARS
OLD, WHAT PART OF CHRIS ROCK DID YOU-- DID YOU SEE.
>> IT WAS ONLY GOING HAPPEN WHEN YOU GROW UP WITH CARRIE FISHER
AND ARE YOU SITTING IN YOUR BEDROOM AND WATCHING CHRIS ROCK
STAND UP ALL THE TIME WHICH MOST EIGHT YEAR OLDS AREN'T, BUT I
WAS. SO THAT IS WHAT WAS GOING ON.
>> YOU WERE PROBABLY AT MORE TIME SEEN MORE OF CHRIS' WORK
THAN I HAD. >> MAYBE, AND PROBABLY MORE THAN
MOST EIGHT YEAR OLDS. >> James: YOU HAVE GOT A LOT
OF LAUGHS COMING YOUR WAY WHEN YOU COME OUT.
>> GET READY. >> James: REGGIE, DO YOU HAVE
A QUESTION FOR OUR GUESTS THIS EVENING?
>> Reggie: YES, I DO. DO YOU GUYS EVER GO FISHING OR
HAVE YOU EVER GONE FISHING AND HAVE YOU EVER FELT LIKE KIND OF
GROSS, FOR ANY REASON AT ALL, WHILE YOU ARE FISHING?
LIKE IF YOU ARE, LIKE WHETHER YOU ARE HANDLING BAIT OR WHETHER
YOU GET, LIKE THERE SAY WACKY SITUATION WHERE A TACKLEBOX SOAP
AND YOU KIND OF STUMBLE AND PUT YOUR FOOT IN IT AND KIND OF GO
OH, I HAVE A TACKLEBOX SHOE. THAT.
>> THAT IS THE ONLY TIME I DON'T FEEL GROSS.
>> YEAH, YEAH. >> BUT I APPRECIATE THE QUESTION
BECAUSE I DON'T GET THAT OFTEN. >> I FEEL MOST AT HOME WHEN I'M
PUTTING A WORM ON A HOOK, SORRY FOR THE WORM.
>> YEAH. >> James: THAT IS GOING TO BE
THE NAME OF YOUR BOOK, RIGHT. >> SORRY TO WORM, THE BILLIE
LOURD STORY. >> I'M GLAD THIS IMERS PRODUCED
A HEALTHY TITLE FOR A BOOK. YOU ARE CORRECT.
>> James: THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.
BILLIE LOURD, TYLER JAMES WILLIAMS.
