You started to bust a move, I was--
I was like, don't dance, Jon.
Don't dance, Jon.
Your mom will criticize you after this.
Like, I Danced.
What do you know?
Man, I'm so excited for you to be here.
This is such a full-circle moment for the both of us.
You know, you and I go back to Step Up 3D days.
You were there, you helped with our proposal.
Me and Allison's proposal.
You remember all those days?
Yeah, I mean, first of all, if you want to see tWitch in 3D--
go back, get a 3D TV.
I don't know where you'd get that-- and watch him.
He's amazing in it, and we were doing a commercial.
I mean you in LXD.
You toured with us, and all this stuff.
You were like this big, no you weren't.
Yeah, no, right.
You were never this big.
But then, yeah.
And then we were doing a commercial, a Microsoft
commercial, and you hijacked it.
And you came to me, and you were like so I'm
going to ask her to marry.
You were so nervous.
I don't know if you've ever seen tWitch really nervous--
and we made an excuse for Allison
to go out, something about her SAG or something.
And then when she was out there, you
taught the dancers this beautiful number to your song.
And so when she came back in, you
were there, OK and 3, 2, 1 action--
and all the dancers start doing this number.
And she has no idea what's happening.
She thinks she's on camera, and you start,
and you get on your knees-- it was the most beautiful thing.
Man, it was a beautiful thing.
Absolutely.
Now, we have kids?
We're getting old, man.
That's what I'm saying.
We got kids, like fast forward.
So have you have you wrapped your head around--
I'm a lot more tired.
- --what it's like to be outnumbered by children yet.
Because it's a situation.
I'm trying to ignore that fact.
We did what we did we did rent a minivan for our family just
to see how it would be.
And I was like, wow.
They're lower, they have TVs inside.
They're great.
You can sit comfortably.
Yeah, and my wife was like OK, so you drive the minivan.
I'll try the Tesla.
Right, right.
And then--
So they didn't get a minivan.
You didn't get that.
But dude, so let's talk about why you're here,
"In the Heights."
Yes.
I've seen it.
I loved it.
And I was moved by it.
Allison and I moved to tears numerous times.
Just for those that don't know, tell us about "In the Heights."
Well, Lin-Manuel Miranda who created "Hamilton"
and "The Genius" he and one of his best friends--
they wrote this show, this Broadway show, years ago.
It won all the awards, and now we're
adapting it, about this bodega owner, Usnavi,
who has dreams about a whole community in Washington
Heights in New York City, that is sort of disappearing.
And it's all the different generations from a 14-year-old
to an 80-year-old, trying to accomplish their dreams.
And you could just tell from the screen-- it must
have been so much fun to make.
You could just kind of pick up on the vibe,
and the celebration of cultures, when it was time to do that.
What was the vibe like on the set?
We cried every time we were on set.
Anthony Ramos stars as Usnavi.
Melissa Barrera, Leslie Grace, and Corey Hawkins--
this is a musical, and I've worked with a lot of dancers.
They are my best friends over the years.
And I love dancers.
They often get, sort of like when
you're on set, like bring the dancers over here, sort
of tossed away.
But they are the greatest artists in my mind,
and so all our actors are ridiculously talented.
And I think when you watch the movie,
you won't see a musical-- you'll see an expression of people
that deserve to be seen on the biggest screen possible.
And deserve this.
Please, let's clap for that.
Please.
Because also, I got to say this too, man, before we wrap it up.
There's something, and I just I want
to say this to you-- and also to everybody
watching to this-- like this movie is so important.
Also just for families to watch together as well,
because you also pick up on the importance of storytelling,
of heritage and history, and culture, and the pride in that.
So this is something that is very timely.
I think that we need this sort of joy.
And I just could not be more proud of you and the team
for making this work of art.
And seriously, I salute you.
I salute you.
Now, you can catch "In the Heights" in theaters now,
and it's also streaming on HBO Max.
Keep your eyes on this guy right here.
Jon Chu is his name.
Thank you.
Thank you so much, man.
We'll be back.
