>> Stephen: BOTH OF YOU MADE YOUR DEBUTS ON BROADWAY JUST
LAST SEASON.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: AND YOU BOTH BECAME DARLINGS OF THE GREAT
WHITE WAY.
BOTH NOMINATED LAST YEAR AND YOU'RE NOMINATED FOR ONE OF THE
SONGS YOU DID THE SPONGEBOB MOVIE-- IT GETS MIXED UP BECAUSE
THERE ARE A LOT ON BROADWAY THAT WERE TV SHOWS AND ARE NOW ON
BROADWAY.
>> VERY TRUE.
>> Stephen: DID YOU DREAM OF BEING ON BROADWAY?
DID YOU HAVE THAT THEATER FEVER AS A CHILD?
>> I THINK WE BOTH WERE THEATER KIDS.
>> YEAH.
>> WE BOTH DEFINITELY, LIKE, DID SNOWS OUR LIVING ROOM.
I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO GO TO AN ART SCHOOL GROWING UP.
WE WOULD WATCH "THE TONYS" WHEN WE WERE KIDS AND THAT WAS OUR
INSPIRATION.
AND WE KNOW WHEN WE'RE OUT THERE A LOT OF YOUNG PEOPLE ARE GOING
TO BE WATCHING "THE TONYS" AND BE LOOKING AT THE SHOWS ON
SUNDAY NIGHT AND THINK MAYBE I COULD COOB THERE ONE DAY.
>> WE'RE LAUNCHING A CAMPAIGN AND WE'RE DOING IT HERE TONIGHT
ON YOUR SHOW.
YOU LOVE A CAMPAIGN!
IT'S HAULED #TONYDREAMING AND WE'RE INVITING PEOPLE TO POST
PICTURES UNDER THIS HASHTAG.
AND YOU MIGHT GET FEATURED ON "THE TONYS."
>> WE WANT TO SEE PICTURES OF YOU IN A SCHOOL PRODUCTION.
TWEENT WHAT ROLES YOU PLAYED.
WE WANT TO KNOW WHAT DREAM ROLES WOULD BE.
>> AND LET'S BE HONEST IT'S MORE EMBARRASSING THE BETTER.
THE BETTER CHANCES -- >> Stephen: BUT CLOTHED.
>> CLOTHED, YES.
>> Stephen: NO "OH, CALCUTTA" PLEASE.
>> Stephen: I LEARNED SOMETHING JUST RECENTLY.
I LEARNED SOMETHING TROUBLING ABOUT YOU, JOSH GROBAN.
>> ME.
>> Stephen: BEFORE YOU WERE A SINGER, YOU WERE A MAGICIAN.
>> WELL...
( LAUGHTER ) >> LET ME CHECK YOUR HEAD FOR A
SCAR.
>> THANK YOU, YES.
I WAS A STRUGGLING MAGICIAN.
I ALWAYS LOVED MAGIC.
I-- AS A KID, I WANTED TO BE A MAGICIAN.
BEFORE I HAD ANY HEROES IN THE MUSIC WORLD, MY HERO WAS HARRY
HOUDINI.
>> Stephen: NOT DOUG HENNING OR DAVID COPPERFIELD OR ANY OF
THOSE PEOPLE?
>> THEM TOO.
BUT THERE WAS SOMETHING ABOUT HOUDINI.
I READ BOOKS ABOUT HIM, THE ESCAPE ARTIST.
I AUDITIONED FOR "THE MAGIC CASTLE."
>> Stephen: OUT IN LOS ANGELES.
>> OUT IN LOS ANGELES WHEN I WAS, LIKE 11 YEARS OLD.
I WANTED TO BE A JUNIOR MEMBER.
>> Stephen: AND HOW DID IT GO?
>> HORRIBLY.
I HAD A TRICK READY, A DISAPPEARING QUARTER TRICK.
THERE WAS A HANKERCHIEF AND A BOX IT WENT IN.
I PULLED UP SOMEBODY FROM THE AUDIENCE, WHO WAS ALSO A CHILD
BECAUSE IT WAS JUST A ROOM FULL OF CHILDREN JUST TRYING TO GET
INTO THE MAGIC CASTLE.
AND THE QUARTER FELL ON THE GROUND, AND THE KID-- YEAH,
THANK YOU.
THE KID, YOU KNOW, GAVE ONE OF THE "HA-HA!
IT'S ON THE GROUND!"
AND, YOU KNOW, YOU'VE GOT-- LIKE CHEFS SAY, "STAND BY YOUR DISH."
I HAD TO STAND BY MY TRICK.
>> AND PICKED UP THE EXPWRT WENT, "TA-DA!"
AND I SAT BACK DOWN -- >> Stephen: WELL--
( APPLAUSE ).
>> AND I HOPED I WOULD FEEL THEM, BUT I DID NOT.
>> Stephen: GOOD LUCK THIS SUNDAY.
I KNOW YOU GUYS HAVE A LOT OF REHEARSING TO DO.
>> I HOPE NOT TO DROP THE QUARTER THIS TIME SO TO SPEAK.
>> Stephen: DON'T DROP THE QUARTER.
IT'S GOING TO BE A GREAT SHOW.
THERE'S ONLY ONE THING THAT BOTHERS ME ABOUT THE TONYS IS SO
MANY OF THE SHOWS THIS YEAR WERE BASED, AS I SAID ON OTHER FORMS,
LIKE "MEAN GIRLS," OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
PEOPLE WERE MAKING MUSICALS ABOUT THINGS THAT WEREN'T
MUCCALS AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY NOBODY HAS COME ALONG TO
MAKE A MUSICAL OF "THE TONYS" ABOUT "THE TONYS."
>> ACTUALLY, STEPHEN, TWO PEOPLE DID.
>> SHE MEANS US, STEPHEN.
