And we're back with Kumail.
That is from The Lovebirds.
I thought that this was--
Portia and I watched it.
Loved the movie.
Thought you and Issa were fantastic.
Tell everybody what it is about.
Oh, thank you.
That's so kind.
So it's a movie.
Issa Rae, who's amazing, and I play this couple who've--
we've been together a few years.
We sort of hit a rock.
And we're driving to go to a dinner.
And right as we're about to break up-- it
feels like we're just about to break up.
We've gotten to that point--
we get framed for a murder.
So the premise of the movie basically
is this couple who hasn't been getting along
all night trying to solve this crime that they've
gotten implicated in.
So it's this romantic, action, thriller, comedy thing.
Yeah.
You two are hilarious together.
It's really funny.
It's a very funny premise.
And it was filmed in my hometown in New Orleans,
so it was fun for me to watch.
What did you love about New Orl-- was
that your first time there?
No, I've been there before, but I've never
been there for Mardi Gras.
So we weren't going to shoot over Mardi Gras, obviously,
because the city gets pretty intense then.
But our schedule changed, so we actually
shot through Mardi Gras.
Obviously, we didn't shoot the couple of days
right around Mardi Gras.
I had no idea how the city ramps up to Mardi Gras.
I really thought Mardi Gras was, like, a couple of days.
But it's not.
It's a whole month.
So [INAUDIBLE] every week, there are more of these parades
happening.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's like that even not during Mardi Gras.
New Orleans is quite a city.
It's a very interesting place to grow up.
And I'm very happy that I grew up there,
because it's a really special town.
And everyone there-- the people are great.
I'm really happy that that's where I was born.
All right.
We're going to do something to raise money right now.
We started something called Plank That Song.
It's a challenge.
You sing a song while you're doing a plank,
and you've agreed to do it now.
And if you complete the challenge,
Shutterfly, who always helps us support great organizations,
will give $10,000 to the charity of your choice, which is--
Disaster Philanthropy.
All right.
What song are you going to sing?
I am going to sing "Eternal Flame" by the Bangles.
Oh, good choice.
Great choice.
All right.
Let's get you into position so we can see the plank
and hear the song.
All right.
Here we go.
Am I good?
(SINGING) Close your eyes.
Give me your hand, darling.
Do you feel my heart beating?
Do you understand?
I can't sing.
Do you feel the same?
Am I only dreaming?
This is me doing my best.
Is this burning an eternal flame?
I believe we're meant to be, darling.
[INAUDIBLE] when you are sleeping.
Just give him the money.
You belong to me.
Do you feel the same?
Am I only dreaming, or is this burning an eternal flame?
My God.
[INAUDIBLE]--
Oh, God.
That's great. tWitch-- tWitch has
a lighter out and everything.
That was--
Amazing.
That was beautiful.
I was [INAUDIBLE]--
Thank you.
Yeah, [INAUDIBLE]--
Thank you.
And $10,000.
Is that it?
That's $10,000 for your charity.
And that was beautiful.
That was absolutely-- I want to cry, really.
I want to stress to you that that was me doing my best.
I cannot sing.
I am tone deaf.
Yes, no-- I watched the movie.
I watched you sing with Issa, so I know that.
The Lovebirds-- very, very funny.
It's available on Netflix this Friday.
We'll be right back.
