>> Stephen: PLEASE WELCOME, LUPITA NYONG'O!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) IS THERE NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
>> GOOD TO SEE YOU.
>> Stephen: YOU WERE ON THIS TIME LAST YEAR.
>> I WAS.
>> Stephen: AND WE DID SOME FUNNY WALKS TOGETHER.
>> Stephen: WE DID.
>> Stephen: "QUEEN OF KATWE" IS AN INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL
MOVIE, AND YOUR PERFORMANCE IS WONDERFUL.
MY FAVORITE MOVIE OF THE YEAR SO FAR.
>> THANK YOU.
>> Stephen: BEFORE WE GET INTO TALKING ABOUT THAT MOVIE YOU
HAVE ANOTHER VIDEO PROJECT WHICH I HAVE TO SHOW EVERYBODY WHO
HASN'T SEEN IT.
YOU RECORDED SOMETHING IN THE BACK OF YOUR CAR.
>> UH-HUH.
>> Stephen: JUST RELEASED IT YESTERDAY?
>> I THINK IT WAS TWO DAYS AGO.
>> Stephen: TWO DAYS AGO UNDER THE NAME "TROUBLE MAKER," AND
JIMMY, LET'S GIVE PEOPLE A TASTE OF HER NEW CAREER.
♪ SPEAK FOUR LANGUAGES DOING DEALS IN SPANISH
♪ HIM THEM WITH MY AUTOGRAPH POOF, I VANISH
♪ SHOUT OUT TO THE VILLAGERS, HIT 3 MILLION
YEAH, YEAH, HU, YEAH ♪ >> Stephen: SO YOU GOT A
FALL-BACK CAREER.
NICELY DONE.
>> THANK YOU.
>> Stephen: NICELY DONE.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) SO YOU'VE GOT A FALLBACK CAREER.
IS JAY Z CALLING.
>> MY PHONE LINE IS OPEN.
I'LL TAKE THE CALL.
>> Stephen: DON'T TELL THESE PEOPLE YOU'LL NEVER SLEEP.
WHY TROUBLE MAKER?
>> MY FRIEND COMMON CHRISTMASINED ME TROUBLE MAKER.
I VISITED HIM IN HIS STIEWD QUO ONCE, AND I WAS THREATENING TO
DROP A BEAT, DROP SOMICS OR SOMETHING.
AND HE SAID, "OH, OH, TROUBLE MAKER, "AND IT STUCK SINCE.
>> Stephen: THAT'S THE BEST CEEND OF TROUBLE.
SPEAKING OF YOU GETTING IN TROUBLE, YESTERDAY, OR THIS PAST
WEEKEND, YOU WITHIN TO THE OPENING OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM
OF AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY AND CULTURE.
>> I DID.
>> Stephen: OKAY, NOW I UNDERSTAND YOU WERE NOT INVITED.
YOU JUST SHOWED UP.
>> NO, CORRECTION, CORRECTION.
I WAS INVITED, AND I DECLINED BECAUSE I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO
HAVE "QUEEN OF KATWE" PRESS IN NEW YORK.
AND SO THE DAY BEFORE WE WERE DOING A Q & A AROUND 9:00 OF
"QUEEN OF KATWE."
AND TODAY WAS LIKE I'M ON MY WAY TO TIM KAINE AT 10 SPP AND I
SAID,"WHAT'S HAPPENING IN D.C.?" HE SAID, "THE MUSEUM IS OPENING.
AREN'T YOU COMING?" I SAID, "WE DON'T HAVE PRESS IN
NEW YORK?
I'M DEFINITELY COMING."
IN 45 MANSLAUGHTER WE GOT MY MAKEUP ARTIST IN THE CAR.
WE GOT CLOTHES TO WEAR, AND WE KARL ROVE TO D.C. SO WHAT I
COULD BE THERE AT 8:00 IN MORNING.
>> Stephen: SEE, THAT'S A REAL STAR.
THAT'S A REAL STAR.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) BECAUSE--
( APPLAUSE ) THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
YOU AND ME IS BECAUSE YOU'RE A REAL STAR.
WHILE I'M ON TV I RARELY GET MADE UP TO GO TO THE MUSEUM.
>> WELL, WHEN THE PRESIDENT IS THERE, YOU MIGHT WANT TO PUT ON
A LITTLE POWDER.
>> Stephen: A LITTLE BIT.
( LAUGHTER ) HOW WAS THE MUSEUM, BY THE WAY?
I'D LOVE TO GO DOWN.
>> IT WAS INCREDIBLE, IT WAS INCREDIBLE.
I MEAN, IT WAS SO WELL THOUGHT OUT.
AND IT'S SO INSPIRING.
THEY'VE GOT SO MANY COOL THINGS LIKE NAT TURNER'S BIBLE, HARRIET
TUBMAN'S SCARF, EMMET TILLS' ORIGINAL CASKET.
IT IS TRULY THE HEADS OF AMERICAN HISTORY AND CULTURE.
FOR ME IT WAS SO AMAZING TO BE THERE BECAUSE WHENNIVE DOING "12
YEARS A SLAVE" AND LOOKING FOR EXPERIENCES TO PUT MYSELF
THROUGH, THERE WAS NO DEFINITIVE PLACE FOR AFRICAN AMERICAN
HISTORY AND CULTURE AND NOW WE HAVE THIS.
IT'S HUGE.
IT'S ON THE MALL.
IT'S FULL OF RESPECT FOR THIS HISTORY.
AND I THINK IT'S REALLY HEALING FOR AFRICAN AMERICANS TO HAVE
THIS PLACE TO SHARE THEIR HISTORY WITHERN THAT COMES TO
VISIT AMERICA AND AMERICANS THEMSELVES.
>> Stephen: AND I UNDERSTAND THAT YOUR WARDROBE--
( APPLAUSE ) I UNDERSTAND THAT YOUR WAR CROAB
AS PATSY IS IN THE MUSEUM.
>> YES, OH, MY GOODNESS, HOW COULD I FORGET?
THEY HAVE A FILM AND THEATER AREA, AND PATSY'S DRESS IS
THERE.
AND THERE'S A PHOTO OF ME AND OUR CHARACTERS AS WELL.
IT MADE ME WEEP TO THINK THAT I WAS SOMEHOW INCLUDED.
>> Stephen: I'LL TELL YOU WHAT MADE ME WEEP IS "QUEEN OF
KATWE."
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL STORY-- A TRUE STORY.
OF A YOUNG WOMAN NAMED FIONA.
WHAT WAS HER LAST NAME.
>> FUTESES.
>> Stephen: WHO LIVES IN THE UGANDA AND LEARNS CHESS AND CAN
CHANGES HER LIFE AND THOSE AROUND HER.
>> AND NOW MINE.
>> Stephen: IT'S A DISNEY MOVIE, BUT IT DOESN'T SHY AWAY
FROM THE HARSH CONDITIONS.
I MEAN, IT DOESN'T SEEM SANITIZED.
>> NO.
>> Stephen: IT DOESN'T SANITIZE THE HARSH CONDITIONS
THESE PEOPLE LIVE IN.
WHERE DID YOU SHOOT THIS?
WHERE WERE YOU WHEN YOU ACTUALLY WERE IN THESE SLUMS?
>> HE SHOT IT IN KATWE.
IT'S THE BIGGEST AND POOREST COLUMN IN COMPALA.
WE SHOT SOME THERE BUT ALSO OUTSIDE OF JOHANNESBURG.
WE SHOOTING IT IN THE PLACE THESE THINGS TRANSPIRED.
IT'S A VERY RECENT STORY.
THE GIRL THAT IT'S ABOUT IS ONLY TWEN NOW.
SO WE WERE REALLY WHERE THESE THINGS HAPPENED, WHICH WAS SO
GREAT.
IT WAS SUCH A SOURCE OF INSPIRATION FOR US.
BECAUSE WHAT YOU FIND IN THESE PLACES, THOUGH THEY'RE IN ABJECT
POVERTY.
THEY DO NOT LACK DIGNITY.
AND THERE'S LIFE GOING ON.
IT'S VIBRANT.
YOU KNOW, PEOPLE ARE WORKING THROUGH THEIR STRUGGLE.
AND SO MUCH-- SO MUCH SO, THAT FIONA DISCOVERS CHESS, AND THEN
USES THAT CHESS TO PULL HER FAMILY OUT OF POVERTY.
AND SO IT'S REALLY UPLIFTING, HEARTWARMING, AND OFTEN FUNNY
STORY TOLD.
>> Stephen: IT' IT'S FULL OF HEARTBREAK AND HEARTWARMING AND
I'M NOT GOING TO GIVE AWAY THE ENDING BUT THE ENDING IS HOPEFUL
AND BEAUTIFUL AND SHE'S A CHESS MASTER NOW.
>> YES, SHE IS.
SHE VERY MUCH IS.
HER FUTURE IS STILL VERY BRIGHT AND YET TO BE WRITTEN, SO SHE'S
STILL WORKING ON GETTING TO BE THAT GRANDMASTER.
>> Stephen: ONE THING I WANTED TO ASK YOU, YOU WERE BORN IN
MEXICO BUT RAISED IN KENYA, I UNDERSTAND.
AMERICANS LOOK AT, WHEN WE SAY, "OH, YEAH, GUATEMALAARGENTINA,
THE SPANISH-SPEAKING AREAS."
WE DON'T DIFFERENTIATE.
WE THINK AFRICA, UGAWND AKENYA.
WHAT IS THE VISION FROM UGANDA FROM KENYA AND THE VISION OF
KENYA FROM UGANDA.
>> WE'RE BOTH IN EAST AFRICA AND WE HAVE A LOT IN COMMON WHEN IT
COMES TO CLIMATE.
YOU KNOW HOW IN NEW YORK SOMETIMES THERE ARE ALL SORTS OF
PREJUDICES AGAINST NEW JERSEY, YOU KNOW?
>> Stephen: YEAH, A LITTLE BIT.
( LAUGHTER ) WHICH ONE'S NEW JERSEY?
IS KENYA NEW JERSEY OR IS UGANDA--
UGANDA-- >> NO, NO, IT IS DEFINITELY NOT
NEW JERSEY.
KENYA, ONE OF THE THINGS MY MOM KEEPS SAYING IS IN UGAWND ATHEY
HAVE CULLURE WHERE YOU KNEEL TO SHOW RESPECT, AND THE KENYAN MEN
REALLY LIKE THAT.
AND MY MOM IS ALWAYS SAYING HOW THE UGAWNDANS ARE STEALING ALL
THE KENYAN MEN.
>> Stephen: IT'S A BEAUTIFUL MOVIE.
THANK YOU FOR MAKING IT AND THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
>> THANK YOU.
>> Stephen: "QUEEN OF KATWE" IS IN THEATERS NATIONWIDE THIS
FRIDAY.
LUPITA NYONG'O, EVERYBODY!
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH DONNIE WAHLBERG.
