Thanks for being here in person.
Indeed, I know.
This is good because everything's been virtual.
Yeah.
And just to see you in 3D is great.
All the way around.
Everybody's flat, like, that guy with the bald head.
Well, that's pretty 3D.
Yeah, that's pretty 3D.
Yeah, that's pretty--
Yep, you look good, sir.
[LAUGHTER]
So let me ask you one question before we
get started because I was thinking about this backstage.
Cedric the Entertainer, have you ever
toured with Chance the Rapper?
No.
But, you know, he was at a concert of mine.
So he came backstage, and I met him.
And it was like a whole "the" reunion.
Yeah.
Like a bunch of-- we were, like, you know,
we tried to find who was our grandparents to see if, like,
who's your the?
My grandfather, Ezra the Entertainer,
that's where he started.
But his lineage, I don't know where Chance the Rapper came.
Yeah.
Y'all should tour and it should be called The Two Thes.
Oh, that would be nice.
And you know who we can add is Megan Thee Stallion.
[LAUGHTER]
Yes you can.
And then--
And then are we out?
Yes.
Then I think we would be done.
I think that's it.
There's no more thes.
Yeah.
It's a couple of thes, no?
Who else?
Ivan the Great.
He's gone.
Well, he's gone, Ivan the Great.
And then there was John the Baptist.
True.
He did a lot of great work in his day.
Yeah, I saw him on tour once.
Yeah.
He was good.
He made it rain, in a way, if you say, yeah.
He did.
All right, I'm getting down to business.
What up, tWitch?
So you have been, during quarantine,
on just about every game show I can think of except for ours,
Game of Games.
Why won't you do Game of Games?
Ellen, your game show scares me.
I love game shows, but your game show,
it's going to be some slime.
Somebody's going to be covered in toothpaste.
I don't even know how you get that much toothpaste
on a person.
Yeah.
But I was just, like, I don't know.
I'm a little nervous about that.
But I do like game shows.
How did you do on Millionaire?
I saw you, but I can't remember how far you got.
Well, the million dollars is safe.
I'll tell you that much.
I think I made about $30,000, 35,000 or something.
Yeah.
And for charity.
Yes.
I didn't try to keep it.
It starts getting real hard, though.
It does.
They got me on a really trick question, I felt,
because they wanted to know what dog had never
won the Westminster Dog Show.
Right.
And I'm from the hood.
And so it's either German Shepherd or a Doberman Pinscher
are the only two dogs.
I ever knew.
Right.
So I just said German Shepherd.
Right.
And he was, like, no.
It's Labrador.
And I was, like, what's that?
Oh really?
Have you learned?
We don't have Labradors--
No?
--in the hood.
It's, like--
German Shepherd.
King, Duke--
Yeah, right.
And the Pit Bulls came along and they were like the new "it"
dog, you know?
[LAUGHTER]
But then people started hybriding.
So you got the Labradoodles and the Germandoodle--
a Germadoodle?
Haven't seen a Germadoodle.
I haven't seen a Germandoodle either.
What about a Labra--?
I don't know.
But we have two little dogs now, though.
What do you have?
Two little Yorkies.
Oh, those are cute.
Yeah, it's not very--
I'm a big man.
It's not as cute to be walking these two little Yorkies.
It's, like, everybody's are we safe from your dogs?
I'm, like, yeah.
That's Butch.
What are their names?
Brooklyn and Trixie.
Oh.
[LAUGHTER]
That's not bad.
Yeah, Brooklyn, we made up for that one, like, Brooklyn, son,
that's how we say it, actually.
Even though it's a girl dog, we go, Brooklyn, son--
and then Trixie.
And you just couldn't fix that one.
No.
But they actually had the same personality.
Like Brooklyn's a very aggressive, mean Yorkie,
and Trixie is like an old film noir star.
She barks like she has a long cigarette, like, yes, darling,
you know?
Yeah, yes.
[LAUGHTER]
I had a cat like that, that seemed
like she would be smoking a cigarette,
waiting for a martini.
With the filter?
Yes, like, with a holder, too, a long cigarette holder.
Yes, with a boa.
[LAUGHTER]
Yeah.
Would you pick me up and take me to the kitchen?
That's hilarious.
That's exactly her personality.
All right, let's talk about The Neighborhood.
It's picked up for a fourth season.
Congratulations.
Yeah.
[APPLAUSE]
For the very few people who have not seen it,
tell everybody what it's about.
So The Neighborhood, it was a show.
We developed it around when gentrification was really
popping off.
But it's about a young white family
moving into a predominantly Black neighborhood.
And I am this curmudgeonous old-school guy
that doesn't want anything to change.
And Dave is this loving Midwestern character
that's just determined to--
Max Greenfield.
Max Greenfield, awesome, just determined to make life right.
And so that's what he wants to do.
And so eventually it's all about us
learning to just understand who the next person is
because they're your neighbor and that's
what you've got to do.
Right.
It's a great idea and a great show.
And the two of you together are hilarious.
