HOUR OF TODAY, AND I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS, I THINK
WE ALL HAVE, ALL MORNING.
WE’RE JOINED BY HOLLYWOOD
SUPERSTAR MR. KEVIN BACON.
HIS CHARITY, 6 DEGREES, IS
RAISING MOPE TO HELP LOCAL
RESTAURANTS FEED FRONTLINE
WORKERS.
WORKERS. GOOD MORNING, GOOD TO SEE YOU,
MY FRIEND.
MY FRIEND. >> GOOD TO SEE YOU, MAN.
YOU’RE LOOKING GOOD.
>> YOU, TOO.
SO TELL ME ABOUT THIS.
YOU’VE LAUNCHED THIS INITIATIVE,
WHICH IS PRETTY COOL, THROUGH
YOUR CHARITY CALLED 6 DEGREES.
IT’S I FEED THE FRONT.
HOW IS THIS WORKING?
>> WELL, THERE’S A COUPLE OF
FANTASTIC ORGANIZATIONS THAT WE
PARTNERED WITH.
PARTNERED WITH. WHAT THEY DO IS THEY RAISE
MONEY, THEY SEND THE MONEY TO
LOCAL RESTAURANTS, OVER 600
ACROSS THE COUNTRY, AND THEN
THOSE RESTAURANTS PREPARE MEALS
FOR HEALTH CARE WORKERS.
THEY ACTUALLY COOK THEM, THEY
PACKAGE THEM, THEY TAKE THEM AND
DROP THEM OFF AT THE HOSPITAL.
SO IT’S SUPPORTING THESE SMALL
BUSINESSES, RESTAURANTS AND
PEOPLE THAT WORK THERE, AND
ALSO, OBVIOUSLY, A LITTLE BIT OF
FUEL FOR OUR HARDWORKING HEROES
OUT THERE.
OUT THERE. >> AND YOU’VE GOT KIND OF A FUN
WAY TO GET THIS OUT, IT HAS TO
DO WITH CLAPPING.
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH. AT 7:00 THERE’S THIS BEAUTIFUL
THING THAT’S BEEN GOING ON ALL
OVER THE COUNTRY WHERE -- IN THE
WORLD WHERE PEOPLE ARE CLAPPING
FOR THE HEALTH CARE WORKERS
DURING THEIR SHIFT CHANGE.
AT 7:00 IF YOU POST A VIDEO OF
ANY KIND OF CLAPPING, ONE OF MY
FAVORITES IS "CAR WASH."
IT’S A GREAT CLAPPING SONG.
OR YOU CAN CLAP ANYTHING YOU
WANT TO DO.
YOU PUT THE HASHTAG ON IT, I
FEED THE FRONT.
THERE’S ALING TO MAKE SMALL
DONATIONS.
DONATIONS. A VERY TINY DONATION WILL
PROVIDE A MEAL FOR A HEALTH CARE
WORKER.
WORKER. I KNOW IT’S A REALLY TOUGH TIME
FOR EVERYONE TO BE ASKING FOR
MONEY.
MONEY. I THINK OUR COUNTRY HAS BEEN
INCREDIBLE.
INCREDIBLE. YOU LOOK AT THE NUMBERS, THE WAY
PEOPLE HAVE SHOWN GENEROSITY
DURING THIS VERY, VERY DIFFICULT
TIME.
TIME. SO IT’S A SMALL THING TO DO,
AND, YOU KNOW, YOUR CLAPPING
COULD BE FUN, TOO.
>> I SAW IN THE VIDEO YOUR WIFE
THERE, KYRA SEDGWICK, AND YOU’VE
BEEN SELF-QUARANTINING WITH YOUR
SON TRAVIS.
SON TRAVIS. WHAT HAVE YOU GUYS COME AWAY
WITH DURING THIS TIME?
>> WE COME AWAY WITH GRATITUDE.
EVERY MORNING WE READ THE PAPER,
HAVE A LITTLE COFFEE, AND I
THINK ABOUT HOW INCREDIBLY
GRATEFUL WE ARE TO HAVE A ROOF,
HAVE EACH OTHER, HAVE FOOD, AND
BE HEALTHY.
BE HEALTHY. THERE’S, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF
PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT ARE
SUFFERING.
SUFFERING. SO I FEEL LIKE GRATITUDE IS MY
DAY.
DAY. >> YEAH.
>> YEAH. AND YOUR DAUGHTER ISN’T TOO FAR
FROM YOU GUYS, RIGHT?
>> NO.
>> NO. SHE LIVES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD,
SO WE SEE HER -- IT’S KIND OF
LIKE NO HUGGING, BUT WE CAN AT
LEAST LAY EYES ON HER.
SO WE’LL TAKE A WALK OUTSIDE,
YOU KNOW, WITH THE MASKS.
I DON’T ALWAYS GET TO SEE HER
FACE, BUT I CAN, YOU KNOW, SEE
HER FOREARMS.
HER FOREARMS. >> I UNDERSTAND YOU, LIKE A LOT
OF PEOPLE, HAVE SPENT TIME
WATCHING THE NETFLIX HIT "TIGER
KING."
KING." >> OH, YEAH.
>> THE WORD ON THE STREET IS
THAT IF THIS COMES TO THE BIG
SCREEN, KEVIN BACON SHOULD BE
PLAYING JOE EXOTIC.
>> WOULD BE GREAT.
>> IF IT HAPPENED, WOULD YOU
PLAY JOE EXOTIC?
>> SURE, I’D PLAY JOE EXOTIC IN
A SECOND.
A SECOND. IT’S FUNNY, BEFORE THAT EVEN
CAME OUT, I SAID TO MY WIFE, YOU
KNOW - SHE SAID, WHY ARE YOU
WATCHING THIS SHOW.
I SAID THIS IS AN AMAZING SHOW.
I SAID THE REASON I’M WATCHING
THIS SHOW IS THESE ARE THE KIND
OF CHARACTERS I GET ASKED TO
PLAY.
PLAY. TO ME, DOCUMENTARIES ARE WAY
BETTER -- THEY ARE WAY -- I
MEAN, THIS IS MY TYPE OF GUY,
YOU KNOW. SO YEAH, LISTEN,
FINGERS CROSSED, IF YOU CAN PUT
IN A GOOD WORD FOR MY, AL, I
WOULD APPRECIATE THAT.
>> I AM ON IT, KEVIN.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. BUT FIRST WE WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT FOLKS HAVE MORE INFORMATION
ON HOW TO HELP YOUR GREAT CAUSE.
OF COURSE, I FEED THE FRONT,
