LADIES?
>> ALL RIGHT, AL.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>>> WE ARE NOW HERE WITH
TWO-TIME EMMY WINNING STAR,
STERLING K. BROWN.
HIS FIRST CAME LAST YEAR FOR HIS
PORTRAYAL OF CHRIS DARDEN IN
"THE PEOPLE VERSUS
O.J. SIMPSON."
>> AND LAST WEEK, HE EARNED HIS
SECOND STATUE FOR "THIS IS US."
AND GET THE TISSUES OUT BECAUSE
SEASON PREMIERE IS TOMORROW
NIGHT.
RANDALL HAS QUIT HIS JOB, NOW A
STAT
STAY-AT-HOME JOB.
>> HOW COME MOMMY STAYS HOME AND
ARE THE GIRL?
>> ANNIE, IT IS INCREDIBLY
OLD-FASHIONED AND UPSETTING THAT
YOU JUST SAID THAT.
IT'S PERFECTLY NORMAL WOMEN CAN
GO TO WORK AND MEN TO STAY AT
HOME.
WOMEN CAN DO ANYTHING.
LOOK AT HILLARY CLINTON.
>> SHE LOST.
>> BUT SHE ALMOST WON.
EAT YOUR BREAKFAST.
>> CONGRATULATIONS.
HOW DID IT FEEL TO BE STANDING
UP THERE AND WINNING AN EMMY
ANOTHER YEAR?
>> IT'S PRETTY AWESOME.
NEVER DID I THINK THIS MOMENT
WOULD BE HAPPENING FOR ME RIGHT
NOW.
AND THE FACT THAT IT HAPPENED
TWO YEARS IN A ROW, IS A
BLESSING.
>> WE WERE TALKING ABOUT HOW YOU
TOILED.
YOU'VE BEEN ACTING FOR YEARS AND
YEARS.
AND FINALLY, THIS RECOGNITION.
IT MUST BE FUN TO TALK TO YOUR
KIDS ABOUT.
>> ANYTHING THAT TAKES ME AWAY
THAN MY KIDS, LATER FOR IT.
I WISH YOU WEREN'T SO FAMOUS,
DADDY.
I WANT YOU TO BE AT HOME MORE.
>> THAT'S THE MOST BEAUTIFUL
THING EVER.
THAT'S BETTER THAN YOUR EMMY IS
REALLY COOL.
>> THE LOVE OF A CHILD.
>> THE SHOW IS A HUGE HIT.
HODA WAS THE FIRST TO TELL.
>> SHE WAS PREACHING THE GOSPEL
FOR A LONG TIME.
AND THIS SEASON, WE GET A LOT OF
ANSWERS.
>> EVEN IN THE FIRST EPISODE, WE
FIND OUT A BIG CLUE AS TO HOW
JACK MASS EPASSED AWAY.
>> I'M GLAD YOU SAID IT.
JACK PASSED AWAY?
>> IF THEY DON'T KNOW IT BY THIS
TIME, YEAH.
JACK PASSED AWAY.
>> NOW, WE WILL KNOW HOW AND
WHY.
>> YES.
>> IF YOU WERE ONE OF THE PEOPLE
THAT SAW THE EMMYS AND SAID,
THAT'S A SHOW I GOT TO START
WATCHING.
LET'S SAY YOU SIT DOWN AND START
WATCHING NOW.
IS THAT PERSON GOING TO
UNDERSTAND WHAT'S HAPPENING?
IS THERE ENOUGH THERE?
SHOULD THEY BINGE?
>> I THINK YOU HAVE TO START
FROM THE BEGINNING.
>> YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS THE
BEGINNING, RIGHT?
>> IT'S SUCH A GOOD SEASON OF
TELEVISION.
SO AFFIRMING.
AND THIS FAMILY, UNCONVENTIONAL
FAMILY.
BUT THE CONNECTIONS THEY HAVE,
SHOWS WE HAVE MORE IN COMMON
THAN WE DO THAT SEPARATES US.
START FROM THE BEGINNING.
>> YOU KNOW WHAT WE DON'T HAVE
IN COMMON WITH YOU, STERLING?
YOUR ABS.
I THINK THIS WAS ON YOUR
INSTAGRAM.
CONGRATULATIONS ON THE EMMY.
HELLO.
BY THE WAY, WE'RE NOT SINGLING
YOU OUT.
THERE'S LOTS OF PICTURES ON YOUR
INSTAGRAM.
AND WE'RE JUST SAYING.
WE HAVE EYES.
>> I'M A NUDIST BY NATURE.
I LIKE TO SHARE AND SHARE ALIKE.
MY WIFE APPROVES.
>> THIS IS ONE OF THE SHOWS THAT
HAS CAPTURED THE NATION, AT A
TIME WE NEEDED THIS MORE THAN
EVER.
DO YOU THINK IT'S THE TIMING OF
THIS SHOW THAT MADE IT SO
SUCCESSFUL?
>> I THINK THAT HAS A LOT TO DO
WITH IT.
I THINK WE SPEND A LOT OF TIME
ARGUING.
WE SPEND A LOT OF TIME ARGUING
AND SAYING, I'M RIGHT, YOU'RE
WRONG.
AND THE TITLE OF THE SHOW.
THIS IS US.
THIS IS NOT US VERSUS THEM.
WE CAN RECOGNIZE THAT WE'RE NOT
THAT DIFFERENT.
AND SO, FOR TLOOEGS AN HOUR A
WEEK, PEOPLE GET A CHANCE TO
COME TOGETHER AND SAY, WE CAN
ENJOY THE SHOW.
>> HOW IT HOPS THROUGH THE
DIFFERENT TIMES OF LIFE AND THE
DIFFERENT DECADES.
IT'S A GOOD SHOW.
WE'RE NOT JUST PAID TO SAY THAT.
>> NO.
WE'RE SO HAPPY FOR YOU AND YOUR
SUCCESS.
STERLING K. BROWN, THANK YOU SO
MUCH.
YOU'LL BE BACK LATER.
YOU'RE GOING TO TALK TO ME AND
KATHIE LEE.
