-Kathryn Hahn, thank you so much for being here.
We really, really appreciate it. You look great.
Where are you? And how are you? And who are you with?
-I'm with no one but the voices in my own mind.
I'm in my garage right now because it is the quietest place
in the house and I don't want to interrupt the multiple schools
that are happening online in the house.
So I'm in my garage right now. Yeah.
Like, I'm surrounded by, like, bikes.
This is, like, the garage -- Like, there's some random
yoga gear that, like, no one's really used.
I have -- Oh, this was my -- This is special.
-That's fun.
-My friend gave me this, and we thought maybe for Easter --
The kids don't really believe, but I thought
it would be fun this Easter if I woke them up wearing this.
And then I'm so ti-- I mean, who isn't so tired and out of it?
They're 13 and 10.
And I was so tired and out of it,
I literally wore this, walked into their room,
and I went -- Because I'm so out of it,
I literally walked in and went, "Ho, ho, ho!"
And the kids were like... -"Get out. Get out, Mom!"
-Anyway, poor mom's losing it. -"I want to play "Fortnite."
-They love "Fortnite." -Have you played "Fortnite"?
-I did. I tried to play it once and I really --
I was like the character in "Blair Witch,"
like, in the corner just like --
I couldn't get out of the corner, Jimmy.
Like, I was just stuck in the corner.
My kid was laughing so hard, he was crying.
I was like, "How do you get out?"
I was just literally, like, banging my head in the corner
just, like, with random objects flying around.
I couldn't figure it out. I never felt so inept.
-This is you playing "Fortnite." -In the corner.
Just, like, in the corner, back to it, just like...
-And people were just killing you?
-Just throwing things at me.
I didn't know what was happening.
There was, like, a force field that kind of swept over me,
and then I was just gone
and I didn't know what was even happening.
You know?
It was like, "Well, that was fast."
Anyway, it was humiliating.
-I want to talk about your HBO series with Mark Ruffalo.
This is "I Know This Much Is True."
This is the Wally Lamb book that everybody was talking about.
I think it was on Oprah's --
It was one of Oprah's first Book Club books.
Major, major book.
Everyone in the world bought it and owned it.
I owned it.
I didn't really read it,
but it's on my stack of books I should have read.
-I had not read the book before I got --
before I got the meeting for this gig.
And then I read the book and the adaptation
in about a week's time.
And it was like -- You know, this is a gorgeous, like,
pretty dense 700-page novel,
and the adaptation also was, like, a pretty sizable material,
but I just devoured it.
And, I mean, Mark is so extraordinary,
and I knew that he was just not going to leave
anything on the table playing these two parts.
He plays twins in this.
He plays -- One of which --
He plays a brother and a schizophrenic brother.
And I just knew that it was just going to be just --
To bear witness to him doing this
was just going to be once in a lifetime.
And I just -- He, of course, is just so extraordinary in this.
-Love that dude. I love him, man.
He's great. -He's such a good egg.
-You two together -- I'm excited about that.
"I Know This Much Is True" is on HBO.
Oh, everyone that comes on our show --
first of all, thank you again for coming on --
we ask if you have a charity or something
you want to highlight or spotlight.
And you chose Homeless Health Care L.A.
-Yes.
-How did you get involved with that?
-When I first came -- When I first was in Los Angeles,
I was on a show called "Crossing Jordan,"
and the creator, Tim Kring, and his wife, Lisa,
introduced me to this, and I was able
to tour the facilities downtown.
And it just has been in my radar this whole time.
It started in 1985.
It's just been providing services
to this enormous vulnerable community in Los Angeles.
We have -- Like, currently, I think there's something like
60,000 homeless in L.A., 5,000 of which live in Skid Row.
And especially now with COVID-19,
this is such an extreme -- Obviously, it's such
an extremely vulnerable population,
so many of whom have mental illness or are using,
cannot get themselves to help or get tested
or have access to masks or hand-cleaning stations
or any just information.
And this organization has street doctors,
who have been going onto the streets of Los Angeles
to provide all of those things and access to healthcare
and to hopefully get them to housing.
And, so, I am so moved by the work that they've been doing.
And so I would urge your viewers,
if not for this particular organization,
which is near to my heart just because it is my hometown,
but to search out any
Homeless Health Care organizations
in your own hometowns, because these are such
vulnerable populations now.
-I love that you chose that. I will definitely be donating.
"I Know This Much Is True," HBO.
Kathryn Hahn, thank you so much for coming on.
You're great in everything you do,
so I'm looking forward to this one, as well.
-You're such a dear, and it's so good to see your face.
-Aww! I love you, bud. -I love you back.
Really good to see you. Take care, honey.
