>>> WELCOME BACK.
THIS MORNING WE’RE CATCHING UP
WITH THE INCREDIBLY TALENTED
NICK KROLL.
>> HE IS AN ACTOR, COMEDIAN,
PRODUCER AND ONE OF THE CREATORS
OF "BIG MOUTH" ON NETFLIX.
>> IT FOLLOWS A GROUP OF TEENS
AND FOCUSES ON SUBJECTS YOU
WOULDN’T NECESSARILY EXPECT FROM
TEENS.
THIS WEEK IT’S ANXIETY.
TAKE A LOOK.
>> RUFF HAVINGE ARE YOU HAVING A
ATTACK?
>> WHO SAID THAT.
>> ME!
>> WHO ARE YOU?
>> I’M TITO, THE ANXIETY
MOSQUITO.
PEOPLE HATE IT WHEN I DO THAT.
PEOPLE HATE IT WHEN I DO
EVERYTHING.
YOU KILLED ME!
I’M SORRY, I’M THE WORST AND SO
ARE YOU.
>> I LOVE THIS SHOW.
GOOD MORNING!
>> GOOD MORNING, HOW’S IT GOING?
>> IT’S GOING GOOD.
SEASON FOUR OF BIG MOUTH, IT’S
ALREADY ON.
YOU’VE ALREADY BEEN RENEWED FOR
SEASON FIVE AND SIX.
WHAT CAN FANS EXPECT THIS TIME
AROUND?
>> WELL, AS YOU SAW IN THE CLIP,
OBVIOUSLY THIS SEASON IS A DEEP
DIVE INTO ANXIETY.
WE STARTED RUNNING THE SHOW
ALMOST TWO YEARS AGO, WE KNEW
THERE WOULD BE A PRESIDENTIAL
ELECTION, THAT PEOPLE WOULD
PROBABLY BE DOING SOME ANXIETY
AROUND THAT.
LITTLE DID WE KNOW THERE WOULD
ALSO BE A GLOBAL PANDEMIC
HAPPENING.
BUT KIDS RIGHT NOW, THE MORE WE
TALK TO KIDS, WE SEE HOW MUCH
ANXIETY KIDS ARE EXPERIENCING
RIGHT NOW AND FELT LIKE IT WAS A
SUBJECT WORTH EXPLORING.
>> SO, NICK, HERE’S THE THING,
THIS SHOW DEALS WITH SOME REALLY
EDGY TOPICS.
DO YOU THINK CAN YOU GET AWAY
WITH STUFF USING CARTOONS
BECAUSE IT’S ANDIMATION, THAT YO
MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO GET AWAY
WITH IF IT WAS A LIVE ACTION
SHOW?
>> YEAH, I THINK SO.
OBVIOUSLY WE’RE ADULTS VOICING
THE CHARACTERS SO WE CAN DEAL
WITH CONTENT THAT MAYBE A SHOW
WITH LIVE ACTUAL WITH ACTUAL
TEENS MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO
DISCUSS.
AND WE HAVE ALL THESE CREATURES
LIKE HORMONE MONSTERS, ANXIETY
MOSQUITOES AND SHAME LIZARDS AND
IT GIVES US LATITUDE TO HAVE
THESE MORE COMPLICATED
DISCUSSIONS AND DELVE INTO
THINGS KIDS ARE DEALING WITH.
>> ACTRESS JENNY SLADE ANNOUNCED
SHE WAS GOING TO STEP AWAY AS
THE VOICE OF MISSY BECAUSE SHE
FELT BLACK CHARACTERS ON AN
ANIMATED SHOW SHOULD BE VOICED
BY BLACK PEOPLE.
I KNOW OTHER ACTORS AND
ACTRESSES MADE THAT DECISION AS
WELL.
>> I THINK, YOU KNOW, THINGS ARE
CHANGING AT AN AMAZING PACE AND
I THINK THERE’S BEEN AN
AWAKENING IN A LOT OF WAYS WITH
REPRESENTATION BOTH IN FRONT OF
AND BEHIND THE CAMERA OR IN OUR
CASE BEHIND THE MICROPHONE AND
JENNY TOOK A REAL LEADERSHIP
POSITION IN IT.
WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME TALKING
TO OUR BLACK RIGHTERS ABOUT HOWW
TO HANDLE IT.
WE CAME TO THE CONCLUSION IT WAS
RIGHT FOR HER TO STEP AWAY AND
WE HAVE AN INCREDIBLE ACTOR AND
COMEDIAN WHO IS REALLY FUNNY AND
TALENTED AND IDENTIFIES WITH
MISTY, SHE REALLY WAS A MISTY
GROWING UP.
WE’RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE
FUTURE OF THE CHARACTER IN THE
SHOW.
>> AND IN OTHER EXCITING NEWS, I
WANT TO SAY CONGRATULATIONS ON
YOUR WEDDING.
WHAT WAS IT LIKE GETTING MARRIED
DURING A PANDEMIC?
>> I MEAN, IN A WEIRD WAY IT WAS
LOVELY.
I DON’T KNOW IF YOU CAN TELL,
THE SUN WAS LITERALLY RISING IN
LOS ANGELES.
YOU CAN SEE THIS BEAUTIFUL
ORANGE GLOW ON ME.
IT LITERALLY RISING RIGHT IN
FRONT OF MY EYES.
>> LOOK AT THAT.
>> IT WAS REALLY BEAUTIFUL.
WEEP GOT
WE GOT MARRIED ON A CLIFF AT
BIG SUR.
WEDDINGS ARE BEAUTIFUL BUT
THEY’RE STRESSFUL WITH A LOT OF
PEOPLE AROUND, WHEN YOU CUT IT
DOWN TO TWO PEOPLE AND A
PHOTOGRAPHER AND MY FRIEND, IT
COULDN’T HAVE BEEN A MORE
MAGICAL DAY.
>> YOU CAN FOCUS ON YOU GUYS AND
WHY YOU’RE THERE.
IT DOES LOOK BEAUTIFUL.
THANKS FOR JOINING US.
