My first guest needs no introduction.
Please welcome back to our show, my friend, Queen Latifah!
(audience cheers and applause)
No introduction!
'Ello all, 'ello!
(audience cheers)
You look so beautiful, as always.
Thank you, I love your funky boots!
I love your funky shoes!
It's fun on the feet. We like that.
I like fun on the feet.
Can I just say congratulations to my dear friend here?
Having the biggest hit movie of the summer, "Girls Trip."
(audience cheers)
I love that poster.
Thank you for making it the hit it is.
Hilarious, amazing cast, hilarious.
Yeah for sure.
You are gonna do a sequel, right?
We gotta do a sequel.
You gotta! You can't leave us hanging!
(applause)
By the way, I love trips.
I am well traveled.
If you would like a cameo from me, you feel free to ask.
You know what, we might need that.
We might need that.
You know, we might need to
crash your kitchen in on of these scenes.
So, do you go on a lot of girls trips in real life?
I take all my friends with me every year on our anniversary.
Do you like to travel with friends?
I do like to travel with friends.
Usually if I go to Europe, and we get a boat or something,
I always take a bunch of people.
We had like a little mini girls trip not too long ago
because I played at the LA County Fair.
Me and Patti LaBelle and all my friends from LA drove out,
so it's just nice to be surrounded by your girls
and have a good time.
And you have somebody that knows what you're thinking,
can read your thought bubbles.
When you're experiencing fun stuff,
it makes it a richer experience.
We have cut up on some girls trips.
On the movie though, there's gotta be some great stories
from behind those scenes.
Oh my gosh.
Is there any you can say on a daytime show?
I'm trying to think, I'm trying to think.
It was just really cool because I rented a house
for the summer in New Orleans
because I knew we'd be there for the summer
and I needed a pool because it's hot.
It's crazy hot.
So my house was sorta just like base camp.
I'd have barbecues on the weekends
and just wanted to create a place
where everybody could chill and not worry about cameras.
We got famous people in this movie
who have famous-er husbands, a.k.a. Jada and Will.
So if they wanted to escape we just had the place.
We'd have barbecues, house music, plenty of food.
Tiffany would usually --
Tiffany Haddish, our resident comedian.
She is ridiculously funny.
(applause)
She's got her Showtime special.
Ridiculously funny.
We just kept the door open for Tiffany
because you ain't know when she was gonna pop in.
She'd pop in, swim, then leave,
go hit a comedy club, go dance like crazy,
and then pop in at two in the morning.
We just left the door open for Tiffany, that's right.
Summer in Louisiana is no joke.
My dad is from Louisiana and all of our birthdays,
including my grandma's was in August.
My mom said I used to cry
from the time I entered the state to the time I left it.
But it's a lot of love in that town.
I love that town.
I know. I love New Orleans.
It's such a special, beautiful place. I agree.
It's part of my background, my lineage.
So you have any ideas yet for Girls Trip 2?
So you eat gator?
Oh, I eat everything.
You eat gator?
Wow, yeah, I had gator once and it was really gamey.
But I had it at a chain restaurant.
It's a weird chew.
I think I needed a more personal cook.
No, we can skip the gator. Don't worry.
Yeah, I'm good on gator.
Do you know where you wanna go for Girls Trip 2?
I keep voting for Rio.
But that's me being selfish, of course.
I wanna go to Rio, I'm saying.
I can just come and make the food back at the house.
The Samba, the bodies, the sexiness.
The beaches. The mountains. The sexiness.
The food and the sex.
My first boyfriend was a Brazilian.
I know how to cook lots of great Brazilian dishes.
Again, if you need a girl back at base camp.
You make fish wide eye and all that?
Of course I do!
Get out of here.
I know. Please don't give these chops away.
Alright, but I think that'd be fun.
We'd shoot anywhere. I mean, honestly.
Regina Hall, Jada Pinkett, Tiffany Haddish, Queen Latifah.
Add that already, you take us and put us anywhere you want.
