THREE THINGS THREE THINGS TO CHEER YOU UP.
>> HERE ARE THE LE THINGS TO CHEER YOU UP.
>> James: AS ZOOM MEETINGS ONLY GO SO FAR AT SOME POINT WE
ALL CRAVE REAL IN PERSON INTERACTION.
CHECK OUT THIS SCENE IN ITALY.
[ SPEAKING IN ITALIAN.] >> James: SEE, WHEN IT COMES
TO DRINKING WINE, ITALIANS WILL ALWAYS FIND A WAY.
REG, I'VE ACTUALLY FOUND AN AMAZING WAY TO DO THIS WITH
TECHNOLOGY.
IT IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THEY DID IN ITALY BUT IT'S BRAND-NEW
TECHNOLOGY.
I'VE ACTUALLY PATENTED HERE.
I'VE GOT A GLASS OF WINE AND I'LL PASS IT TO YOU THROUGH THE
SCREEN.
THERE YOU GO, SHOULD BE ARRIVING WITH YOU NOW.
LOOK AT THAT, ISN'T THAT INCREDIBLE?
>> Reggie: SHOULD I GRAB IT?
>> James: YES, WATCH I'LL BRING IT BACK, YOU SEE?
>> Reggie: THAT'S CRAZY.
>> James: I'M BACK THROUGH THE SCREEN.
WATCH.
LOOK.
AND IT'S OUT.
OH NO, RIGHT THERE, YES NOW, SO YOU SHOULD --
>> Reggie: WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
>> James: LOOK, I'M GOING TO PUSH IT ALL THE WAY TO YOU.
ALL THE WAY TO YOU.
>> Reggie: SORRY.
>> James: THERE YOU GO, NEW.
SO HAVE A DRINK ON ME REG, THERE YOU GO.
>> Reggie: THANKS.
IT LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE THE GLASS IN YOUR SHOT.
>> James: THAT'S THE INCREDIBLE THING.
I'VE DROPPED IT OFF.
>> Reggie: STILL HERE.
>> James: I KNOW.
IT'S AN INCREDIBLE PIECE OF TECHNOLOGY.
GIVE US A BREAK!
I'M ON MY OWN IN THE GARAGE!
MOVING ON.
HERE IS A TRULY INSPIRING STORY FROM MY
HOMELAND.
THIS IS WONDERFUL.
I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE YOU TO CAPTAIN TOM MOORE, A 99-YEAR-OLD
ARMY VETERAN WHO SERVED ENGLAND IN WORLD WAR II.
AND YOU WOULD THINK, MAYBE THAT'S SERVICE ENOUGH FOR ONE
LIFETIME.
BUT CAPTAIN TOM, AS HE LIKES TO BE CALLED, IS DOING WHAT HE
CAN TO FIGHT COVID-19, AS WELL.
TO RAISE MONEY FOR THE NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE IN THE U.K,
CAPTAIN TOM CHALLENGED HIMSELF TO WALK 100
LENGTHS OF HIS BACKYARD.
HIS GOAL WAS TO RAISE 1,000 POUNDS.
LOOK AT HIM GO.
IN JUST 24 HOU, HE ENDED UP RAISING 70,000 POUNDS.
SO, HE JUST KEPT WALKING, AND RAISING MORE MONEY.
TO DATE, CAPTAIN TOM HAS RECEIVED CONTRIBUTIONS FROM ALL
OVER THE WORLD, TOTALING MORE THAN 8 MILLION POUNDS.
HE SAYS THE DOCTORS AND NURSES DESERVE EVERY PENNY.
CAPTAIN TOM, YOU DESERVE OUR THANKS.
WE SALUTE YOU.
YOU'RE THE ULTIMATE EXAMPLE OF TALKING THE TALK AND WALKING
THE WALK.
INCREDIBILITY STORY.
AND FINALLY, THAT BRINGS US TO A THIRD THING THAT MIGHT CHEER YOU
UP A TODAY.
OBVIOUSLY, WE'RE ALL STRUGGLING AT DIFFERENT POINTS WITH BOREDOM
THESE DAYS.
BUT NOBODY HAS BEEN MORE HILARIOUS WHILE BEING SHUT IN
AND BORED THAN THE ACTOR LESLIE JORDAN.
NOW, YOU MIGHT KNOW LESLIE FROM "WILL & GRACE" AND "AMERICAN
HORROR STORY," BUT LESLIE'S HOMEMADE VIDEOS HAVE BEEN
GAINING A HUGE FOLLOWING.
HERE'S JUST A SMALL SAMPLING OF HIS PRICELESS INSTAGRAM POSTS.
>> WHERE (BLEEP) JUST HAVING MAKEUP THINGS TO DO TO PASS THE
TIME.
I CAME UP WITH A GOOD ONE TODAY THOUGH.
I PAINTED MY TOENAILS.
I MESSED THIS ONE UP.
WELL (BLEEP), WHAT ARE Y'ALL DOING?
SCREWING?
I FEEL LIKE Y'ALL OUT THERE SCREWING AND HERE I AM JUST
SITTING.
WELL, SCREW ON!
ANOTHER BOY DIED.
HELLO, I SEE YOU, I DO MY HAIR, CHECK MY NAILS, BABY HOW YOU
DIN'?
I HAVE A LITTLE SONG I'M GOING TO SING TO CHEER EVERYBODY UP.
HOA, I DIDN'T MAKE UP THIS SONG, I'M BORED (BLEEP)LESS!
>> WE THOUGHT WE WOULD CHECK IN WITH HIM TODAY.
HE'S JOINED US TODAY.
HOW ARE YOU LESLIE?
>> ABOUT AS WELL AS CAN BE EXPECTED AT AN AIRBNB IN
CHATTANOOGA, TENNESSEE.
NO COMPLAINTS!
>> James: YOUR VIDEOS HAVE GOTTEN NOT JUST ME BUT SO MANY
PEOPLE THROUGH THE DAY.
AND WHEN DID YOU THINK, I'M JUST GOING TO START SHARING
EVERYTHING ONLINE AND JUST PUT EVERYTHING OUT THERE?
>> WELL, YOU KNOW, I HADN'T EVEN BEEN ON INSTAGRAM UNTIL A YEAR
AGO.
AND I WAS DOING THIS PROGRAM, THIS TELEVISION SHOW CALLED THE
COOL KIDS.
AND EVERY TIME I'D SAY SOMETHING FUNNY, THE PUBLICITY GIRLS WOULD
SAY POST IT.
I THOUGHT THEY MEANT POST IT NOTES.
THEY SAID YOU ARE NOT ON INSTAGRAM?
I SAID HUH-UH.
WITHIN A WEEK I HAD 20,000 FOLLOWERS.
THEY SAID THAT'S NOTHING.
I GO 20,000 PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?
AND THEN MEGAN MULLALEY FROM WILL AND GRACE JUMPED TO 80,000
FOLLOWERS.
THEY SAID IT'S NOTHING.
AND IT STAYED THAT UNTIL I'M TELLING YOU ABOUT A WEEK AGO,
AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HAPPENED.
IT JUST -- WENT!
PEOPLE, I WAITED MY WHOLE CAREER FOR THIS KIND OF ATTENTION.
I WON AN EMMY IN 2006, SEE HOW I GOT THAT IN?
I HADN'T GOTTEN ATTENTION LIKE THIS.
THIS IS JUST CRAZY.
>> James: BUT WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE FOR ANY OF US WHO
ARE INSIDE, AND WE'RE BORED, TO BEING OUR BEST SELVES RIGHT NOW?
WHAT CAN WE DO?
>> WELL, YOU HAVE TO FIND EVERYDAY OBJECTS LIKE A BACK
SCRATCHER OR A SPATULA, AND THINK OF SOMETHING CLEVER TO DO
WITH IT.
I HAVE NO IDEA.
I'M ABLE TO ENTERTAIN MYSELF.
I'VE ALWAYS BEEN KIND OF A, YOU KNOW, BY MYSELF.
I HAVE IDENTICAL TWIN SISTERS WHO ARE JUST WITH ME, I CAN
ENTERTAIN MYSELF FOR JUST HOURS.
I TURN ON MY VIDEO AND THERE'S NO -- PEOPLE THINK MAYBE I
THOUGHT IT UP.
THERE WAS AN ARTICLE IN ELLE MAGAZINE WHO DISSECTS WHAT I DO.
LIKE HE DROPPED THIS ONE AND DROPPED THIS ONE.
LIKE IT WAS PLAYING OR SOMETHING.
I'M JUST BEING SILLY MANY.
>> James: LOTS OF PEOPLE ABOUT WANT YOUR ADVICE.
MY WIFE AND I ARE IN THE HOUSE TOGETHER.
WE HAVE THREE YOUNG KIDS.
HOW DO MY WIFE AND I KEEP ROMANCE ALIVE WHEN WE ARE ALL
QUARANTINED TOGETHER IN ISOLATION?
WHAT CAN I DO?
>> I'M A GAY MAN!
I DON'T KNOW HOW (LAUGHING) ...
>> James: JUST SEEING YOUR FACE HAS CHEERED ME UP.
I'VE GOT TO BE HONEST.
IT REALLY, REALLY HAS.
>> LISTEN, HAVE YOUR WIFE CALL ME.
I'LL TELL HER A THING OR TWO.
I'LL GIVE HER SOME SECRETS.
>> James: BLESS YOU LESLIE, THANK YOU SO MUCH, KEEP ON
BRAINING UP OUR DAYS.
IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION FOR LESLIE OR MIGHT NEED ADVICE,
JUST SEND THEM TO US HERE.
WE'LL CHECK WITH LESLIE FOR A FEW WEEKS AND PLELZ CAN ANSWER
ANY OF YOUR QUESTIONS.
DOES THAT SOUND LIKE A PLAN LESLIE?
>> NOT ALL OF THEIR QUESTIONS BUT MOST.
>> James: KEEP ALL RIGHT, LESLIE, STAY SAFE OUT THERE,
>> THANK YOU.
>> James: WE LOVE YOU, SEE YOU SOON.
