HERE, FOLKS.
WELCOME BACK.
WE'RE HERE WITH THE STAR OF HBO'S "INSECURE," ISSA RAE.
HAVE YOU HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO ENJOY YOUR SUCCESS?
BECAUSE TO BE THIS SUCCESSFUL YOU HAVE TO WORK VERY HARD, KNOW
VERY FOCUSED, VERY DEDICATED.
AND SOMETIMES PEOPLE DON'T TAKE THE TIME OR DON'T REALLY HAVE
THE TIME-- IT'S NOT LIKE THEY DENY IT TO THEMSELVES.
THEY JUST DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO APPRECIATE WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN
THEIR LIFE AND THEIR CAREER AND TO SEE THESE DREAMS COMING TRUE.
HAVE YOU HAD A CHANCE TO ENJOY IT?
>> I MEAN, I DEFINITELY ENJOY IT.
I LOVE TO THROW PARTIES.
I'M A BIG YACHT PARTY PERSON.
>> Stephen: OH!
WOW.
>> A LITTLE PARTY ON A BOAT FROM TIME TO TIME.
YOU'RE INVITED.
>> Stephen: I OWN SANDALS.
>> YOU OWN SANDALS?
THOSE AREN'T REALLY BOATS.
>> Stephen: I HAVE BOAT SHOES.
>> BRING YOUR BOAT SHOES.
GET READY TO DANCE.
AND I ALSO HEAR THAT YOU SING, SO --
>> Stephen: I ENJOY SINGING.
I DON'T KNOW IF I SING, BUT I ENJOY IT.
DO YOU SING?
DO YOU ENJOY SINGING?
>> I'M A TERRIBLE SINGER, BUT I ENJOY SINGING TERRIBLY.
YOU.
>> Stephen: YOU WOULD FIT RIGHT IN WITH MY FAMILY.
WE'RE NOT THAT GOOD BUT KATIE BAR THE DOOR AT THE END OF A
WEDDING.
>> WHAT, SHE BARRED THE DOOR.
>> Stephen: "KATIE BAR THE DOOR."
YOU NEVER HEARD THAT TERM?
>> NO.
>> Stephen: THAT MEANS THERE'S GOING TO BE A DONNYBROOK, A FIST
CUFFS, A DONNYBROOK.
A LITTLE OF THE OLD JACK JOHNSON.
KATIE BAR THE DOOR MEANS, "HONEY, LOCK THE DOOR, I'M GOING
TO KICK EVERYBODY'S ASS.
KATIE, BAR THE DOOR.
WE'RE GOING TO FIGHT.
THAT'S WHAT THAT MEANS.
DOES THAT MAKE SENSE TO YOU NOW.
IT'S AN OLD IRISH EXPRESSION.
I'M IRISH.
YEAH, YEAH.
KATIE BAR THE DOOR.
MY FAMILY LOVES TO SING LOUDLY.
WE DON'T WANT TO KNOW THE LYRICS.
WE'RE JUST GOING TO-- WE'RE JUST--
( LAUGHTER )
>> Stephen: JUST LOUD.
>> I LOVE IT.
>> Stephen: WE'RE JUST LOUD.
>> I EMBRACE IT.
>> Stephen: YOU ARE BUILDING AN EMPIRE HERE.
NOT JUST A SHOW.
YOU OWN TWO CAFES.
YOU HAVE A BLUTEY LINE CALLED...
>> SIERRA NATURAL S.
>> Stephen: A MANAGEMENT AND PRODUCTION COMPANY.
WHO ARE YOU GUNNING FOR?
OPRAH?
WHO ARE YOU TAKING DOWN.
GWYNETH?
>> I FEEL LIKE I CAN TAKE GWYNETH DOWN.
>> Stephen: SURE, KATIE BAR THE DOOR.
>> KATIE BAR THE DOOR.
GWYNETH, BAR THE DOOR, GIRL.
>> Stephen: WE SAW EARLIER, ONE OF THE THEMES OF "INSECURE"
IS ISSA DEE HYPING HERSELF UP FOR HER DAY, WHATEVER SHE NEEDS
TO DO.
>> IN THE MIRROR.
>> Stephen: LISTEN, I HAVE A SHOW I HAVE TO HIT EVERY DAY,
CAN YOU HELP ME HYPE UP?
DO YOU HAVE ANY VICE HOW I CAN BE MY OWN HYPE MAN BEFORE THE
SHOW?
>> YOU HAVE TO GO INTO THE BATHROOM OR WHATEVER MIRROR --
>> Stephen: THERE ARE MIRRORS EVERYWHERE.
>> AS THERE SHOULD BE.
YOU'RE A GREAT MAN TO LOOK AT.
I THINK YOU SHOULD TELL YOURSELF IN THE MIRROR, "HEY, DO YOU KNOW
WHO I AM?" >> Stephen: DO YOU KNOW WHO I
AM?
>> I'M THE BOSSIEST MAN ON EARTH.
>> Stephen: I'M THE BOSSIEST MAN ON EARTH.
>> YOU SHOULD BE LUCKY TO BE IN A ROOM WITH ME.
>> Stephen: YOU SHOULD BE LUCKY TO BE IN A ROOM WITH ME.
>> OH, I AM.
I'M VERY LUCKY RIGHT NOW.
GO OUT THERE AND KILL THAT!
>> Stephen: YOU DO IT!
STAY ON TOP OF YOUR GAME?
YOU DOMINATE!
YOU SWEEP THE LAKE!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
WOOO!
I BELIEVE YOU!
>> Stephen: ISSA, IT'S SO LOVELY TO SEE YOU.
CONGRATULATIONS ON THE EXTRAORDINARY SUCCESS OF YOUR
SHOW.
>> THANK YOU.
>> Stephen: AND GOOD LUCK ON THE FIFTH SEASON.
AND DON'T PUNCH THROUGH THAT BOARD.
>> I WILL CRASH THE PLANE BEFORE I LAND IT.
>> Stephen: SEASON FIVE OF "INSECURE" PREMIERES THIS
SUNDAY ON HBO.
ISSA RAE, EVERYBODY!
