>> Mayim!
>> Hey!
>> [ Laughs ]
>> Always great to see you.
Yeah, the things you do for your
kids.
>> Yeah.
>> How you enjoying those tiktok
dances?
And is he dragging you into it,
or are you quarterbacking that
deal?
>> No, I'm quarterbacking that
deal.
He wants nothing to do with me,
really, in general trying to be
hip or relate to him at all, so
that was my best attempt, was
that YouTube video.
>> Nice. Good for you.
>> You went for it, though.
You went for it, though.
>> And having two boys at home
and, you know, having kids, I
know how tough it is during this
time just 'cause, obviously,
they're active, they want to get
out.
How you been handling it?
What have you been doing during
this time to kind of keep them
busy?
>> You know, I've been blessed
with children who actually
aren't terribly active.
They're happy to, like, chill
and be home.
You know, they're homeschooled.
They've never been in a school
in their life, so this kind of
feels like an extended
homeschool experience for them.
>> Right.
>> They're used to being on
their own for bits and leaving
grown-ups to do grown-up things.
You know, honestly, besides the
quarantine, like, the country
has also been brought to its
knees.
So, we've, you know, always
talked about these issues, but
we've absolutely taken this time
to also have, like, family time
of, like, "Let's watch the
'13th,'" and that's what we did
last weekend.
Like, we're in it.
We are in it deep.
And it's great 'cause they're a
captive audience, I'm a captive
audience, and we have to talk
about these things.
So, that's also been a lot of
our quarantine, honestly.
>> So I'm the only one with
little monsters that need to
constantly be moving all the
time.
God bless you.
Maybe it's the parenting.
>> Mine want to talk about civil
rights and the state of the
country.
Come on, Mario.
>> Right?
You've got a birthday coming up,
right, some birthdays coming up.
What does the plan look like for
a quarantine birthday?
Mario just went through it.
>> I don't know.
I don't know what to do.
My 11-year-old will be -- well,
obviously, he'll be 12 next
month, and his bar mitzvah is in
a year.
So he's gonna be asking me
probably for the whole year, "Am
I gonna have a real bar mitzvah?
Is it gonna be in a synagogue?
What are we gonna do?"
>> Right.
>> But he's pretty chill in
general.
He probably will want us to go
swimming at his dad's or
something.
>> Well, you got to save a lot
of money this year if the bar
mitzvah fell during the
pandemic, right?
>> You know, we're pretty
low-budget bar mitzvah people
anyway, but I thought, like,
wouldn't be amazing if all of us
having this realization that,
like, the things that really
matter about, like, weddings,
about bar mitzvahs, is really
just, like, being with the
people that you love and doing
something meaningful?
So I'm actually hoping maybe
this will be, like, a communal
reckoning, that everyone's
like, "Oh, my God, it doesn't
matter how much money you spend
on a wedding.
It's really just about having
your parents there and everybody
gets tested."
>> It really is, and that's so
smart 'cause, oh, my gosh, I've
been to some bar mitzvahs like,
"Wow. Wow."
>> I've been to some weddings
that are nicer than any bar
mitzvah I've ever been to, so,
yes.
>> Right.
>> Exactly.
>> One thing I know that we're
all looking forward to is your
new show, "Celebrity show-off."
I feel like this is a show that
does not bar -- that bar none --
it bars none in the budget area.
How do you convince these celebs
to put on their own show at
home?
>> So, yeah.
"Celebrity show-off" -- I'm
hosting it.
It's a TBS quarantine reality
show.
And what we have is five
celebrities every week who get
to make a five-minute video of
basically whatever they want.
>> Right.
>> And then viewers get to vote
on it, and whoever has the most
views and likes and shares gets
to go on the next week and one
person gets voted off.
Everybody's playing for a
charity, so that's really
awesome.
And it's fun.
We've had Jason Mraz and
Tori Spelling and Kevin Smith,
Ja Rule.
Nene Leakes is on.
We had Diplo one week.
And every week we get a new
celebrity.
>> What kind of videos are you
seeing, Mayim?
Are they, like, dancing?
Are they doing little skits or
what --
>> No, everybody does something
different every week.
>> "Nope!"
>> Kevin Smith, who obviously is
a very accomplished filmmaker --
he has done basically a fake
sitcom about living with his
future potential son-in-law.
And it's like a cheesy sitcom
every week.
Diplo did, like, a
"Deep Thoughts," like a
"Saturday Night Live" kind of
take-off.
Nene Leakes gave drive-through
advice during the quarantine,
like standing outside a strip
mall with a megaphone.
>> There you go.
>> Tori Spelling throws a
different party every week,
which is super fun.
She did a Pride party.
She did a birthday party.
She did a wedding virtually for
someone.
It's been really, really, fun,
and we laugh a lot.
Jason Mraz lives on an avocado
ranch.
I didn't know that.
>> Yes, I talked to him about
that.
I'm so jealous.
>> And he writes a song for us
every week, which is fun.
>> I heard -- and correct me if
I'm wrong -- you actually had to
re-shoot some stuff because you
and Diplo had a connection that
you just couldn't hide.
[ Laughs ] Look! Look!
>> My kids know who Diplo is
'cause they're
"fortnite"-current humans.
>> Right.
>> I had no idea what he looked
like, and I have to say, when I
saw him, I got a little bit
flustered.
And apparently my interview,
like, my one-on-one with him,
I was, like, trying to be cool.
I'm just going to admit it.
I was like, "So, yeah, how about
your video?"
And after he left, they were
like, "We need to do a pick-up
because, like, you weren't your
normal, like, perky hosting
self."
And I was like, "I was trying to
be cool for Diplo."
So weird.
>> That's hilarious.
>> You went into your --
>> He's very handsome.
I didn't know!
>> She's like, "Yeah, so, like,
we're both cool.
You're cool. I'm cool."
>> I love it.
>> "Let's be cool together."
>> I love it.
Mayim, well, I always love
seeing you, and we've known each
other since we were kids
literally.
And I remember a while back you
posted that throwback photo...
>> Oh, my gosh.
[ Cheers and applause ]
>> We were doing
"Circus of the Stars."
That was the rooftop at
Universal Studios.
>> That's right.
You remember that. That's right.
I was doing the trapeze.
What were you doing?
>> I did the double cradle,
which was like a smaller
trapeze.
And I think I was maybe 13, you
were 15, something like that.
>> Yeah.
Oh, God, that's awesome.
I love seeing that.
>> Was that around the "Blossom"
time?
>> Yes.
>> It was right before it.
It was like right before
"Blossom."
I think I had done "Beaches,"
and I was just starting
"Blossom."
So, yeah, we did
"Circus of the Stars."
It was quite a summer.
>> Please tell me that you have
one of those "Blossom" hats
still.
Please. Somewhere a box.
>> You know, I don't.
One of your producers does.
She showed it to me before we
started.
>> What?!
>> I do not have any of those
hats.
And I don't think I need to.
I think I covered that portion
of my life.
>> They're making a comeback!
>> You could still rock it.
>> You know what?
If "The Fresh Prince" can come
back, I don't see why not.
>> Exactly! Exactly.
>> Mayim, thank you so much for
taking the time.
>> So good to see you.
>> Tell your boys happy
birthday.
>> "Celebrity show-off" is
airing Tuesday nights on TBS.
