ONE OF THE HARDEST WORKING MEN
IN HOLLYWOOD.
IN HOLLYWOOD. TERRY CREWS HAS ALREADY WORKED
OUT THREE TIMES THIS MORNING.
>> WHOA, WHOA.
THINGS ARE MOVING AROUND RIGHT
THERE.
THERE. >> GOT TO HOLD THEM BACK.
>> BY THE WAY, I CAN’T BELIEVE
THEY PHOTOSHOPPED YOUR HEAD ON
MY BODY.
MY BODY. >> THAT INSTAGRAM PICTURE?
THAT ONE?
THAT ONE? >> THERE’S A STORY?
>> THERE IS A STORY.
YOU’RE ON INSTAGRAM.
I’M GOING TO BRAG, SHOW OFF.
SOMEONE SAID I LOOKED LIKE A
CHEWED UP TOOTSIE ROLL.
I DO LOOK LIKE A CHEWED UP
TOOTSIE ROLL.
TOOTSIE ROLL. >> TOOTSIE ROLL WOULD LOVE TO
LOOK LIKE THAT.
>> SOCIAL MEDIA, YOU WILL GET
TALKED ABOUT NO MATTER WHAT.
>> "AMERICA’S GOT TALENT," BEST
OF THE BEST, THE CHAMPIONS.
>> THIS IS THE OLYMPICS OF
TALENT.
TALENT. A LOT OF PEOPLE DON’T KNOW THIS.
190 ITERATIONS OF GOT TALENT ALL
OVER THE WORLD, NORWAY, SOUTH
AFRICA, GERMANY.
AFRICA, GERMANY. THE THING IS, YOU DON’T HAVE
BRAGGING RIGHTS UNTIL YOU WIN
"AMERICA’S GOT TALENT."
THIS IS THE ONE.
THEY’VE COME FROM ALL OVER THE
WORLD TO COMPETE.
IT’S THE BEST OF THE BEST.
>> YOU’VE HAD AMAZING ROLES.
HOW HAS THIS SHOW CHANGED YOUR
LIFE?
LIFE? IT’S ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE
THIS IS THE SHOW WE ALL WATCH IN
MY FAMILY.
MY FAMILY. THE KIDS ARE JUST AS INVESTED AS
I AM, MY HUSBAND.
WE ALL WATCH IT TOGETHER.
>> I HAD TO DETERMINE, ONCE THE
NFL QUIT FOR ME, I STARTED
ACTING, BUT YOU DON’T GET THE
CROWD INTERACTION, YOU DON’T GET
THAT KIND OF LOVE.
AGT FOR ME PROVIDES THAT.
IT’S LITERALLY THE ENERGY, THE
CROWD.
CROWD. IT FEELS LIKE THE SUPER BOWL
EVERY EPISODE, AND I NEED IT.
I HAVE TO HAVE IT.
I UNDERSTAND WHY KIDS WANT IT,
ALL THE WAY UP TO GRANDPAS AND
GRANDMAS.

IT’S ABOUT DREAMS.

YOU GREW UP AND THE DREAM YOU
HAD AND YOU FIND AFFINITY WITH
THESE CONTESTANTS.

FLINT, MICHIGAN, WISHING AND
PRAYING I HAD A CHANCE TO DO
SOMETHING THAT MADE A
DIFFERENCE.
DIFFERENCE. LAST YEAR I GOT A CHANCE TO HIT
A GOLDEN BUZZER FOR THE DETROIT
YOUTH CHOIR.
YOUTH CHOIR. THESE GUYS WENT ALL THE WAY --
THEY WENT ALL THE WAY TO SECOND
PLACE.

FROM THE CITY OF DETROIT.
LET ME TELL YOU, WE’RE CREATING
SUPERSTARS.
SUPERSTARS. EVERY SHOW CREATES A NEW
SUPERSTAR.
SUPERSTAR. >> HASN’T BEEN WITHOUT
CONTROVERSY.
CONTROVERSY. WE SHOULD ASK YOU ABOUT THE
GABRIELLE UNION CONTROVERSY.
REPORTS HER CONTRACT WASN’T
RENEWED BECAUSE SHE REPORTED A
TOXIC ATMOSPHERE EXISTED AT THE
SHOW.
SHOW. YOU’RE AT THE SHOW.
IS THERE A TOXIC ATMOSPHERE?
>> FIRST OF ALL, I CAN’T SPEAK
FOR SEXISM BECAUSE I’M NOT A
WOMAN.
WOMAN. I CAN SPEAK ON BEHALF OF ANY
RACISM COMMENTS.
RACISM COMMENTS. THAT WAS NEVER MY EXPERIENCE ON
"AMERICA’S GOT TALENT."
IN FACT, IT WAS THE MOST DIVERSE
PLACE I HAVE EVER BEEN IF MY 20
YEARS OF ENTERTAINMENT.
THE TOP TEN ACTS WERE ASIAN,
WOMEN, OLDER, YOUNGER, BLACK,
WHITE.
WHITE. IT WAS EVERYTHING IN THE GAMUT.
I HAVE TO SAY THIS, TOO, WHEN
YOU LOOK AT WHAT THE ALLEGATIONS
WERE ABOUT, IT WAS GIVEN BY AN
UNNAMED SOURCE.
UNNAMED SOURCE. MY THING IS -- IT’S FUNNY.
I BELIEVE YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO
WOMEN, ALWAYS BELIEVE WOMEN.
SO I ASKED MY WIFE WHAT I SHOULD
DO.
DO. SHE WAS LIKE, FIRST OF ALL, IF
IT’S COMING FROM AN UNNAMED
SOURCE.
SOURCE. GABRIELLE UNION HAS NOT MADE ANY
STATEMENT TO THIS DAY ABOUT ANY
OF THESE ALLEGATIONS PUBLICLY.
>> HAVE YOU SPOKEN TO HER?
>> I HAVE NOT.
I HAVEN’T REACHED OUT, BUT I
HAVEN’T HEARD ANYTHING.
MY WIFE SAID, IF SHE HASN’T MADE
A STATEMENT, WHY WOULD YOU?
I’M GOING TO LISTEN TO HER.
>> WE SHOULD MENTION NBC IS
STILL INVESTIGATING AND SAY THEY
WILL PUT NEW PRACTICES INTO
PLACE IF NECESSARY.
>> WE DIDN’T GET A CHANCE TO
TALK ABOUT "BROOKLYN 99."
SO YOU HAVE TO COME BACK.
YOU’LL HAVE TO COME BACK AND
TALK ABOUT IT.
>> FEBRUARY 6th.
>> ONE THING YOU DON’T KNOW
ABOUT TERRY CREWS, HE WAS A
COURTROOM ARTIST.
COURTROOM ARTIST. >> IS THAT TRUE?
