Well, well, well.
Yes!
I feel like we need to do that video of Paul Rudd going,
look at us. - Look at us.
Look, would you ever thought?
Look at us.
You, Yvette, you have this incredible quality
of walking into a room and just lighting the place up.
Buddy, that's so nice.
You do.
You really do, you do.
You emit so much warmth and joy.
What is your secret?
Is it not reading the news?
Is it pills, edibles, can I get in on this?
Well, there may be a little edibles.
It is legal in California. You know what?
I'm determined to not let what's happening in the world
destroy me.
And I don't want to be the problem.
So I'm trying to always come in and make
things a little bit better, because it's tough out there.
Y'all know. - Oh, yeah.
We know, we know.
They know.
[applause]
Well, that is, I mean, that's kind
of what your show is about.
Yes.
I mean, Frog and Toad is all about celebrating
each other's differences, which feels like something
that's very needed right now.
Yeah, we're in a tough time as a nation,
think, and listen, you guys, if you follow me on Twitter,
I'm no longer verified, but it's me.
And if you don't, you should, because she's fantastic.
But I like to throw elbows.
And I think it's important when you have
a platform to use it for good.
And so it's important to remind people
that it's OK to be different, just like Frog and Toad said,
but you don't have to be a jerk about it.
Right.
So I'm trying keep people on that end.
[applause]
So you're saying that there's a possibility that the show
isn't just for children.
Oh, absolutely.
This is what I love about Apple TV+ in general.
I do another show on there, called Shape Island.
They have the shows that are animated that
look like they're just for kids,
and they will work perfectly for the children.
But there's always like a little tidbit of something
good to remind you that this is something
you can learn from, too.
So Frog and Told is like that.
And who's old like me in here?
Anybody who read the books when they were babies?
[applause]
Yeah.
And so this was a book series that taught me how to read.
It was one of the books series that I read when I was a kid.
It taught me how to read.
And so it's good for that.
And I know it may be banned somewhere,
because it's too frog.
Likely.
It's just crazy, you know.
Florida and Texas.
Yeah, but it's an important story about understanding
that differences make us special,
they don't have to pull us apart.
I feel like it's a very good series for grown men
to watch about--
Grown white men maybe.
- --healthy, grown white men. - Republican maybe.
Right.
Watching healthy male relationships.
Relationships.
It doesn't have to be anger and gunplay.
No. Not always.
There's other ways, there's other ways, guys.
Yeah.
My son is seven years old, and he is
a huge fan of the book series.
It's one of the first books that he actually read.
He asked, he wrote a question.
For me?
He would like, yes.
He would like to, he has a question about Frog and Toad.
Frog and Toad, gay?
[laughter]
He asked it.
He asked this. - Perhaps.
Listen, perhaps.
It was a different time when Arnold
Lobel wrote these books.
And we found out later that it was his way of working
through some things that he was trying
to figure out where the world said he couldn't
be who he wanted to be.
He wrote Frog and Toad so he could
experience and show love in a way
that he couldn't in real life.
And so it works as a friendship.
And it also works as a tender love story with amphibians.
It works both ways.
That's right!
Up to the viewer, it's up to the viewer.
You get what you need.
Yes.
Get what you need out of it.
There's room for it all.
Do you want to tell everybody how we know each other?
Oh, we do know each other.
Do you want to tell them how?
We worked together several years ago?
Before the baby.
So at least eight, seven or eight years ago.
A whole other lifetime.
We worked together on a show called The Odd Couple.
They rebooted it.
Not the original.
We're not that old.
We're not that old, guys. The reboot.
The reboot.
And you were so funny on the show.
This is your moment.
You were so funny on the show.
I had like five lines and I played a kleptomaniac,
which really tracks.
A lot of people have five lines,
but they don't shine the way you shined.
And then you went right from that
and you came to The Daily Show and you've been amazing.
And I'm so happy that I get to be here with you
and get to celebrate this new moment for you on this show.
You are so genius, and I adore you.
[cheering]
I'm going to say something about you.
Working on that project, that was
a series regular on this show.
And when you walk in as a guest star, you don't know anybody.
You don't know where to put your hands,
you don't know where to eat lunch.
And you took me under your wing.
You introduced me to everybody.
You made sure that I had someone to sit and eat with,
and I will never forget that.
A good friend.
It was my pleasure.
And this is the thing.
When you come on a show, it's your home.
Someone is coming into your house,
and you wouldn't let someone in your house
and not tell them where the bathroom is and where to eat.
You did the same thing for me when I came here.
She came to my little dressing room and said,
you need anything?
She got me some double stick tape so I
don't come out this shirt.
Oh, everything's great.
It was my pleasure. baby.
I appreciate that.
You are not just on Frog and Toad, you're in everything.
No.
But you're also in one of my new favorite shows
called Act Your Age. - Oh, Act Your Age.
Have you guys seen it?
You got to see it.
Oh, there you, I see you.
There's a couple of people up there.
You need to watch this show!
OK, listen, guys, has anybody heard of The Golden Girls?
Yes!
OK.
And young people, don't do that now,
Golden Girls is a great show.
Our show is called Act Your Agent.
And it is literally like a golden Brown girl.
So imagine women of a certain age with a little more
melanin, but it's not just for us, you guys,
it's for everybody.
Men, women, old, young.
When I was 12 watching The Golden Girls, just
told my age, I wasn't a retiree from Florida, a white retiree.
But I still saw the humanity in those women.
And you'll find the same thing if you turn to Bounce TV
and watch Act Your Age.
It is so funny.
It's you, it's Tisha Campbell.
Kym Whitley.
Kym Whitley, all three of you are leads on the show.
You have great storylines.
It is so funny.
And they're your friends, right?
You get to work with your friends.
We're all friends in real life,
and you guys you guys watch Martin,
you've seen My Wife and Kids, that's Tisha's show,
and Kim is a comedian that's been on everything.
This is the first time we got to lead a show,
because we're all, Black actresses
are always like the meter maid, the best
friend, the office assistant.
And this time it's our stories, and we're
driving every episode.
And it's been an amazing experience.
And it's the highly rated show on Bounce!
Yes, we debuted the highest, highest
rated debut in-- in history.
In history!
That says a lot that--
We're off right now, we took a little break,
because apparently there's something called the NBA
and people are playing games or something.
But we'll-- - Never heard of it.
- Never, sports. - I don't watch football.
I don't do it. I don't like football either.
Yeah, I don't know what that is.
Is it football?
But we'll be back, we'll be back in June,
and we'll have nine more new episodes, so you have
time to catch up, you guys.
Bounce TV, please watch us.
I am, I have to ask you, yes, please watch it.
I got to ask you a political question.
Oh, please.
- You are very outspoken. - I am.
You're an outspoken Democrat.
I am.
You supported Biden.
Biden just announced.
Are you booking hotel rooms in New Hampshire?
[laughs] This is what I want to say about the situation.
We have a great president who has done a lot for us.
If we had the Senate and the House,
he could have done even more.
So what you need to do right now, instead of worrying
about should he be running, why is he
running, just get people registered
and vote for as many Democrats as you can, you guys.
This is, listen, we've already lost the right to choose.
We can't read books.
Libraries are being defunded.
They are doing a lot of really crazy things
to make life hard for all of us.
And if you remember this, the infrastructure
bill that Biden passed, all of them voted against it.
And every time they need a bridge
or something in their city, they're taking the money.
So understand that they say one thing and they do another.
Biden's our guy.
Stay behind him, let's go.
[cheering]
When are you running for president?
Oh! You know what's so funny?
You've got my vote.
You know what's so funny, Desi, do you know,
I used to think that you had to be
really smart to be president.
Well, there are no rules anymore.
We know that's not true.
Yeah, I used to really feel like I wasn't worthy of it.
I grew up, Jimmy Carter was my first president,
so I grew up under that level of decency and kindness.
And so the idea that someone like Donald Trump
could become president, just oh!
So I would never say never, because I now
know that we need decency in there more than we need
maybe the smartest person.
But it'd kind of would be great if you could do both,
and I think I got a little bit of that.
But I'm not saying I would ever run.
But if you decide to, you'll come back on this show--
Absolutely I will come and announce it here, absolutely.
Yes!
