>> James: THAT WAS A
CLIP FROM "JOE VS. CAROLE," WHICH IS STREAMING NOW ON
PEACOCK! CONGRATULATIONS ON THE SHOW,
PEOPLE ARE REALLY LOVING IT. MR. YOU A FAN OF THE
DOCUMENTARY? >> YOU KNOW, I REALLY WASN'T.
I WATCHED ONE AND IT WAS LIKE ROADKILL, I COULDN'T WATCH ANY
MORE PEOPLE BEING HORRIBLE. BUT AND IT DIDN'T HAVE A LOT OF
EMPATHY BUT THEN I WENT BACK AFTER READING THE SCRIPT,
BECAUSE YOU I DO HAVE A LOT OF EMPATHY OF OUR SHOI.
AND SAW WHAT I WANTED TO SEE IN THOSE.
AND THEN WENT BACK THROUGH A LOT OF VIDEOS.
WE WERE SHOOTING IN AUSTRALIA SO WE HAD TO QUARANTINE SO I WAS
JUST BEING JOE IN MY ROOM FOR TWO WEEKS.
>> James: WOW. >> YEAH, AND I'M FROM THAT PART
OF TOWN, YOU KNOW, FROM THE COUNTRY.
I LIVE IN KANSAS, OKLAHOMA, TEXAS, AND I'M THE SAME AGE.
>> James: DID YOU EVER GET TO SPEAK WITH HIM?
YOU HAVE HEARD FROM HIM? DID YOU CONSULT WITH HIM AT ANY
POINT. >> WE DIDN'T THINK IT WAS A GOOD
IDEA, WE WANTED TO BE IMPARTIAL, BUT HE DID SEE A PICTURE OF ME
ONLINE AND HE SAID HE IS GOING TO MAKE ME LOOK LIKE A FLAMING
[BLEEP] WHEN I'M JUST A HARDWORKING GAY MALE.
AND LIKE I AM JUST LAZING AROUND PAINTING MY NAILS HERE.
AND SWEETIE, YOUR MARIBOU IS SHOWING.
>> James: THE PERFORMANCE IS SO BRILLIANT.
I'M REALLY, REALLY ENJOYING IT. I REALLY, REALLY AM.
>> I HAD FUN. >> James: ROSARIO, I NEVER
KNEW THIS. YOU WERE A STAR OF A VIDEO GAME
CALLS DYING LIGHT 2. >> YES.
>> James: I NEVER KNEW WERE YOU A GAMING, WHAT DO YOU ENJOY
ABOUT THIS, THE FAVORITE PART OF BEING INVOLVED IN VIDEO GAMES.
>> I LOVE VIDEO GAMES. I COME BACK FROM THE ERA OF LIKE
MOM, DON'T UNPLUG IT, BECAUSE I'M UP-- NO!
YOU KNOW, AND NOW THIS GAME IS, YOU KNOW, YOU COULD PLAY IT FOR
DAYS TO DO ALL THE SIDE QUESTS AND HAVE I TO DO THESE EFFORT
SOUNDS AND LIKE ALL-- I CALL THE BATHROOM BREAK POPS WHEN SOMEONE
PUTS THE CONTROLLER DOWN AND MY CHARACTER TOLD YOU YOU HAVE TO
GET THROUGH THIS DOOR AND GET TO THE THING.
I WILL JUST KEEP TELLING YOU THAT LIKE HEY, I SAID, AND I
HAVE TO KEEP DOING THESE DIFFERENT STUFF.
AND BECAUSE IT'S KIND OF, BECAUSE YOU ARE ON AN ADVENTURE
YOU CAN MAKE MY CHARACTER'S PERFORMANCE DIFFERENT.
SO I CAN BE MORE AGGRESSIVE AND VOLATILE OR I CAN BE.
>> YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO DO THIS.
>> NO. >> PATHETIC AND KIND AND SO
IT'S' LIKE T IS REALLY FUN THAT YOU KIND OF CAN PARTICIPATE
STVMENT LIKE A WHOLE NEW LEVEL OF STORYTELLING.
I SHAVED MY HEAD TO KIND OF-- IT IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER
CHANGED MY HAIRCUT TO LOOK LIKE MY CHARACTER AFTER THE FACT,
HAVE I TO SAY. >> LOOK AT THAT.
>> IT IS AMAZING. FROM ONE GAMER LET'S GO TO
ANOTHER. REGGIE, DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION
FOR OUR GUEST THIS EVENING. >> YES, TONIGHT'S QUESTION DOSE
TO OUR GUESTS. IF IN THE FUTURE THEATER COULD
BE DONE IN A WAY THAT IS HIGHLY UNCONVENTIONAL USING TECHNOLOGY,
HOW DO YOU THINK IT WOULD GO? >> SORRY, WHAT?
>> Reggie: IS THAT THEATER . >> IS THAT THEATER, BECAUSE
THEY'RE NOT WITH YOU. >> BUT ARE YOU STILL ABLE TO
PERFORM, IMTROV. >> YOU WANT PEOPLE IN THE SAME
ROOM, I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANY MORE, ALL THIS COVID, I DON'T
KNOW WHAT WOULD BE THE NEXT STEP, YOU KNOW, I DID SEE A
REALLY COOL PLAY WHERE THE WHOLE PLAY WAS HAPPENING AND THEN THE
WALL CAME UP BEHIND THE PERFORMER AND THERE WAS ANOTHER
AUDIENCE AND ARE YOU LIKE OH T SAY MIRROR, NO, IT WAS ANOTHER
AUDIENCE WITH ANOTHER ACTOR DOING THE EXACT SAME SHOW AT THE
SAME TIME, I FORGET THE NAME OF THE COMPANY.
>> I'VE SEEN IT. >> INCREDIBLE.
>> IT IS A MIRROR, NO IT IS SOMEBODY ELSE OVER THERE AND
THEN THE AUDIENCE IS IN THEATERS AND THEY CLOSE THIS WALL AGAIN
AND THE SHOW CONTINUES WITH A DIFFERENT PERFORMER.
>> Reggie: BRILLIANT. >> I LOVE THAT.
>> Reggie: BRILLIANT. >> James: TRULY IMMERSIVE.
>> I FORGOT ABOUT THAT, BUT THAT'S ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.
>> James: IT'S ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.
PLEASE THANK ROSARIO DAWSON, JOHN CAMERON MITCHELL.
