-I'm here with double nominee Jameela Jamil. How are you?
-I'm good. How are you? You look great, by the way.
-Thank you! You look incredible tonight.
-Thank you. -Love the fashion.
-Very pink. I'm wearing Christopher John Rogers, a custom-made fluorescent pink masterpiece,
and I feel really special.
-Masterpiece is right. You look incredible tonight.
-Thank you.
-Now, you are nominated for comedy TV star in "The Good Place"
You have another nomination for your podcast, "I Weigh," which I'm a fan of.
-Thank you. -And can you describe for everyone --
It's funny. I was actually going to try to describe it myself,
but I want you to describe it as only really you can.
-The podcast or what "I Weigh" is?
Yeah, so, listen.
If there was ever a year where we realize that we don't know enough, it was this year.
And so I wanted to create a safe space where I would learn publicly from great educators and artists and actresses
and all kinds of wonderful people who are smarter and better and funnier and cooler than me,
and I would learn, and my audience could learn along with me.
You know, I don't think we give growth and learning enough credit,
and so I'm trying to normalize that, because no one has all the answers,
and I think the important thing is just that we try and we grow
and we're always trying to be better tomorrow than we were today.
So that's what the podcast is.
And it's all about mental health, and there are no punches pulled.
And for some reason, some of the most famous people in the world come on and just tell me everything,
and I feel very honored.
-No, it is incredible, because your conversations are so honest,
and there's just something about them that when you listen,
it's like it just -- it really opens up a lot for me.
Like, I listened the other night to one of them in particular,
and it really helped me through something I was dealing with.
So I imagine that's got to be one of the most rewarding aspects of having this podcast
and knowing that you are reaching so many people and helping so many people.
-It is, and also just the thousands of messages we get a day about the podcast
just makes me realize that it might be the most fulfilling thing I've ever done.
And so I want to keep going forever.
And I feel I've learned so much from the podcast, and I think that's what's cool.
There are so many light-bulb moments for me, and so I'm hoping that it's the same for everyone else.
-Well, I hope you keep it going forever. I personally do.
-Thanks. I'm way too filthy on the podcast,
and I have way too little filter, but it's alright.
At least I'm here, so...
-We love it.
You and our PCA host tonight, Demi Lovato, you guys go way back, right?
Tell me a little bit about that and maybe any well wishes for her tonight as she hosts the big show.
-Demi came on my podcast. We really went there together.
Like, so, I was her first ever U.K. interview back when she was like 16 years old.
And I've been interviewing her forever, 'cause I used to do what you do now.
And I've just kind of watched her grow up.
And she was first woman I ever saw, the first huge female celebrity, step up and speak out and be honest
about all of her issues and talk about rehab and eating disorders and addiction.
And so she's a really big inspiration of mine.
We've kind of become friends over the years, and we've hung out and had very personal conversations
around our shared eating disorder experiences and what we find toxic about this industry.
And she decided to come onto my podcast, and we had that same chat but in front of the world,
and she was so honest, and that episode helped so many people.
And she's such a unique superstar.
And I think she's going to be amazing tonight.
She's a generous, funny, kind, and, most importantly, authentic person.
No one is perfect, and I love the fact that she stopped pretending she was in her early 20s.
She created this new generation of honest celebrities.
-Yeah, yeah. And she's one of a kind.
-Yeah, truly. -You said it. She's unique.
She truly is one of a kind, like you, by the way.
-Well, I'll take that as compliment, but thank you very much.
-No, it's true. It's true.
And, Jameela, before I let you go, we do have one more question.
This is from a fan of yours. -Oh, nice.
-So, this is Natasha from Toronto.
-Hi, Jameela. I miss "The Good Place,"
and I love Tahani's name dropping.
When was the last time you name-dropped, and who was it?
-Ooh, the last time I name-dropped was probably one minute ago
when I said that I was friends with Demi Lovato.
Oh, no!
-Do you know what funny about you saying that?
I was thinking as you were thinking, I'm like, "If she can't think of anyone, I'll go, 'Demi Lovato.'"
-Yeah, no, I just did it.
I am Tahani.
I'll leave. I'll go. Bye, guys.
-Don't go! Don't go!
Alright, I'll let you go, 'cause you have to go.
Thank you so much.
Always so wonderful seeing you.
-So much love. So much love, honestly.
Thank you for having me. -Thank you, thank you.
