>> I'M DOING GREAT, JIMMY.
HOW ARE YOU?
>> Jimmy: WHY DO YOU HAVE THOSE?
THOSE ARE THINGS I ONLY HAVE.
>> I'D JUST LIKE TO ASK YOU A
COUPLE OF QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR
FABULOUS TRIP TO ST. TROPEZ.
>> Jimmy: OKAY.
>> YEAH.
WHAT'S --
>> Jimmy: I'LL HOLD IT UP FOR
YOU.
>> WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THAT,
JIMMY?
>> Jimmy: THAT'S ME ON A
VACATION WITH MAGIC AND COOKIE.
>> UH-HUH.
WHAT'S THIS ONE RIGHT HERE?
>> Jimmy: THAT IS ME STILL ON
VACATION WITH MAGIC AND L.L.
COOL J AND A BUNCH OF OTHER
GUYS.
YEAH.
>> YEAH.
AND WHAT'S UP WITH THAT ONE
RIGHT THERE?
>> Jimmy: THAT'S ME ON VACATION
WITH MAGIC.
YOU'RE MISSING -- THERE I AM
RIGHT IN THE --
>> I SEE.
I BRING THESE OUT, AND I ASK YOU
THIS QUESTION BECAUSE I WAS
ACTUALLY ON VACATION WITH MAGIC
AND COOKIE.
>> Jimmy: OH, YEAH.
WE HAD A GREAT TIME.
>> YEAH.
I DID.
HOW DID WE MISS EACH OTHER?
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> Jimmy: YOU KNOW WHAT THE TRUE
STORY IS?
>> NO, I DON'T.
>> Jimmy: HERE'S THE TRUE STORY.
I HAVE ASKED MAGIC AND SAM
JACKSON NO LESS THAN -- MAGIC
I'VE ASKED SEVEN TIMES.
SAM I'VE ASKED THREE TIMES.
EVERY TIME THEY SAY YEAH, WE'LL
INVITE YOU, WE'LL COME OUT ON
THE TRIP ON THE SUMMER.
THEN IT NEVER HAPPENS --
>> JIMMY, YOU HAVE TO STOP
ASKING.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> Jimmy: I TOOK MATTERS INTO MY
OWN HANDS AND PHOTOSHOPPED
MYSELF INTO THE PHOTO.
AND ALMOST EVERYONE BELIEVED I
WAS THERE.
>> I ACTUALLY BELIEVED IT THE
FIRST DAY YOU DID IT.
[ LAUGHTER ]
AND I WAS LIKE, WHAT THE HECK?
I WAS LIKE, WAIT A MINUTE, I WAS
THERE!
NO, THE VERY FIRST DAY YOU DID
IT I WAS LIKE HOW DID I MISS MY
GUY?
>> Jimmy: YEAH.
I REALLY WANT TO GO.
YOU DID GO, THOUGH.
>> I DID.
>> Jimmy: HOW DID YOU GET
INVITED TO THAT?
>> MAGIC SENT A SOLID GOLD BRICK
TO THE HOUSE.
>> Jimmy: HE THREW IT THROUGH
THE WINDOW?
>> NO.
A BRINK'S TRUCK PULLED UP AND
DELIVERED A SOLID GOLD BRICK TO
OFFSET THE COST I WAS GOING TO
INCUR FOR BEING IN ST. TROPEZ.
>> Jimmy: SO YOU DID INCUR A
COST.
>> A SLIGHT COST.
BUT IT WAS WELL WORTH, IT MAN.
>> Jimmy: DID YOU FLY OUT THERE
WITH MAGIC?
>> I DID NOT.
I FLEW OUT THERE WITH MY WIFE.
BUT IN FLYING OUT THERE I SAID
AND DID THINGS, IN PARTICULAR
SAID THINGS THAT I'D NEVER
THOUGHT I'D SAY.
>> Jimmy: LIKE?
>> LIKE I GOT A TEXT FROM
MAGIC'S ASSISTANT, NATALIE,
SAYING MR. JOHNSON WOULD LIKE
YOU TO BE IN THE FRONT OF HERMES
AT 5:45 BECAUSE THE DINGHY WILL
TAKE YOU OUT TO THE YACHT.
AND I WAS LIKE, OH, WELL, YOU
KNOW, MY FLIGHT LANDS IN NICE AT
6:45, WHICH IS A TWO-HOUR DRIVE.
BUT HEREIN LIES THE THING THAT I
NEVER THOUGHT I'D SAY.
ASK MAGIC IF MY HELICOPTER COULD
LAND ON HIS YACHT.
[ LAUGHTER ]
THINGS A KID FROM COMPTON, I
NEVER THOUGHT I'D SAY IN MY
LIFE, AND WAS SERIOUS AND MEANT
IT.
>> Jimmy: OH.
DID HE SAY NO?
>> YES, HE DID.
[ LAUGHTER ]
HE DID.
BUT I WAS --
>> Jimmy: IS IT BIG ENOUGH THAT
A HELICOPTER COULD LAND ON IT?
>> THE YACHT IS 280 FEET LONG.
>> Jimmy: IN OTHER WORDS, THERE
WOULD BE PLENTY OF ROOM FOR ME.
>> YES!
[ LAUGHTER ]
YES.
>> Jimmy: SO THEY JUST DON'T
WANT ME TO BE THERE.
>> PROBABLY.
BUT YOU KNOW, I CAN'T -- MAYBE.
THERE WERE SO MANY PEOPLE THAT
LOOKED LIKE ME THERE.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> Jimmy: LET'S GO THROUGH THIS.
I FEEL LIKE I'D PROVIDE SOME
MUCH-NEEDED DIVERSITY.
>> WHAT DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION?
WHERE WOULD YOU BE IN THAT
PICTURE RIGHT THERE?
JIMMY, WHERE WOULD YOU BE?
>> Jimmy: I'D PROBABLY BE JUST
RIGHT HERE EATING THIS --
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> NO, YOU KNOW WHAT WAS CRAZY,
WE'RE -- DAVE WINFIELD, HALL OF
FAMER, AND HIS WIFE TANYA.
LATANYA JACKSON, EARVIN AND
COOKIE JOHNSON, ANGELA BASSET
AND HER HUSBAND.
WHAT'S HIS NAME?
COURTNEY B. VANCE.
ME AND MY WIFE.
SPIKE AND LATANYA LEE.
AND PAULETTA WASHINGTON.
DENZEL'S WIFE.
>> Jimmy: LOOKS LIKE YOU GUYS
HAD FUN WITHOUT ME.
>> WE DID.
>> Jimmy: THEN IT WAS IN THE
NEWSPAPER LOCALLY IN ST. TROPEZ.
>> WE WOKE UP LOCALLY AND THIS
WAS ON THE FRONT PANL OF THE ST.
TROPEZ PAPER.
KEEP THE CAMERA THERE.
AS YOU GUYS NOTICE, ANTHONY
ANDERSON IS THE ONLY NAME
MENTIONED.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
ONLY NAME MENTIONED!
WITH ALL THOSE HEAVYWEIGHTS
RIGHT THERE.
ANTHONY ANDERSON!
SET ON ROUGE -- [ SPEAKING
FRENCH ]
>> Jimmy: WAS THIS YOUR FIRST
TIME GOING ON THIS TRIP?
>> FIRST TIME.
I'D BEEN INVITED SEVERAL TIMES
BEFORE.
BUT THE FIRST TIME I WAS ABLE TO
EVER -- TO MAKE IT WORK WITH MY
SCHEDULE.
>> I SEE.
>> Jimmy: AND WAS IT AS GREAT AS
IT SEEMS LIKE IT WOULD BE?
>> WORDS CANNOT BEGIN TO
DESCRIBE THE FUN AND EXCITEMENT
THAT WAS THERE THAT ENTIRE --
>> Jimmy: WAS THERE
ENTERTAINMENT ON THE YACHT?
>> NO ENTERTAINMENT ON THE
YACHT.
THAT'S JUST WHERE THEY LIVE.
IT WAS LIKE A FLOATING APARTMENT
IN THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA.
>> Jimmy: I SEE.
>> THEY HAD A FULL EQUINOX ON
THE BOTTOM LEVEL OF THE BOAT.
THAT'S HOW BIG THE BOAT IS.
>> Jimmy: A GYM OR --
>> NO, A FULL GYM.
YEAH.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT'S CRAZY, YOU
HAVE DINGHIES THAT TAKE YOU OUT
TO THE BOAT.
EARVIN HAD A FERRY THAT TOOK YOU
OUT TO HIS BOAT.
THAT'S HOW BIG HIS BOAT WAS.
A FERRY PICKED YOU UP AND TOOK
YOU TO HIS BOAT.
>> Jimmy: OH, WOW.
THERE'S PLENTY OF ROOM ON THE
FERRY IF I WERE TO BE --
>> PLENTY OF ROOM ON THE FERRY.
PLENTY OF ROOM ON THE BOAT.
I'LL TELL YOU HOW BIG THIS YACHT
WAS.
THIS YACHT WAS SO BIG THAT IT
HOUSED THREE SMALLER YACHTS IN
THE BOW OF IT.
[ LAUGHTER ]
I'M NOT LYING.
>> Jimmy: NO, IT DIDN'T.
>> THERE WERE THREE -- THERE
WERE THREE BOATS BIGGER THAN
YOUR SOUND STAGE IN THE BOW OF
THIS BOAT!
>> Jimmy: WAS ANYONE ON THEM?
>> NO!
THAT WAS JUST FOR DECORATION.
[ APPLAUSE ]
BECAUSE A FERRY BROUGHT ME OUT
TO THE YACHT!
BUT YOU TALK ABOUT
ENTERTAINMENT.
SO THE ENTERTAINMENT FOR
COOKIE'S BIRTHDAY PARTY, FOR HER
SURPRISE, WAS JEFFREY OSBORNE,
CHERYL LYNN, CHAKA KHAN, EDDIE
LEVERT, CHARLIE WILSON.
>> Jimmy: THESE ARE ALL MY
FAVORITES.
>> ALL OF OURS TOO.
[ LAUGHTER ]
ALL OF OURS TOO.
AND THEN SO WE THOUGHT THE SHOW
WAS OVER.
SO WE'RE SITTING OUT THERE IN
THE OCEAN.
THE SEA IS RIGHT THERE.
IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
IT'S OUTSIDE.
IT'S AT THE CITADEL, WHICH IS AN
OLD FORT AND CASTLE.
HE HAD PEOPLE DANCING ON THE
SIDE OF THE WALL AND TRAPEZE.
AND THEN HE CALLED EVERYBODY TO
THE FLOOR AND SAID I WANT
EVERYBODY TO COME OUT HERE AND
CELEBRATE, YOU KNOW, OUR
BIRTHDAY WITH US, COME BACK OUT
TO THE DANCE FLOOR.
WE'RE ALL ON THE DANCE FLOOR.
WE THINK WE'RE ABOUT TO SING
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HIM.
THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN EARVIN
SAYS, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
EARTH, WIND AND FIRE!
AND ALL 116 MEMBERS OF EARTH
WIND & FIRE START PERFORMING ON
THE STAGE, MAN.
>> Jimmy: THAT'S HOW I'M GOING
TO GET IN.
[ LAUGHTER ]
FIRST I'M GOING TO TRY OUT TO BE
IN EARTH WIND & FIRE.
>> YOU CAN DO A LITTLE
SOMETHING.
>> Jimmy: ANTHONY ANDERSON.
HE'S RUBBING IT IN.
BUT WE HAVE MORE WITH ANTHONY.
HIS SHOW "BLACK-ISH" COMES BACK
A WEEK FROM TOMORROW RIGHT HERE
ON ABC.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>>> I DON'T EVEN RECOGNIZE THIS
GUY.
HE'S NOT THE SETTLING DOWN TYPE.
THE POPS I KNOW WOULD NEVER
ALLOW HIMSELF TO BE CAUGHT
GIGGLING.
>> HEY.
WHAT YOU STARING AT?
YOU NEVER SEEN TWO PEOPLE
DANCING TOGETHER TO MUSIC THAT'S
NOT PLAYING?
>> YOU KNOW THIS IS CRAZY.
I'M TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT THE
GAME IS.
>> WELL, I'LL TELL YOU.
IT'S SIMPLE.
I'M IN LOVE, SWEET LOVE, DUMMY.
>> Jimmy: THAT IS ANTHONY
ANDERSON ON SEASON 6 OF
"BLACK-ISH," WHICH COMES BACK A
WEEK FROM TOMORROW, FOR WHICH
YOU ARE NOMINATED FOR AN EMMY ON
SUNDAY.
CONGRATULATIONS ON THAT.
>> THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Jimmy: HOW MANY YEARS IN A
ROW HAVE YOU BEEN NOMINATED?
>> ALL FIVE YEARS THAT WE'VE
BEEN ON THE AIR.
>> Jimmy: ALL FIVE YEARS.
>> YEAH.
THAT MEANS I'VE LOST EVERY YEAR
TOO.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> Jimmy: BUT IT'S TIME NOW.
>> IT'S TIME.
CAN WE CONGRATULATE JIMMY KIM
S
MEL AND NORMAN LEAR FOR WINNING
AN OSCAR THIS PAST WEEKEND?
>> Jimmy: AN EMMY.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> YOU'RE NOT FREE SOLO.
>> Jimmy: FIRST OF ALL, THANK
YOU AGAIN FOR BEING PART OF THAT
SHOW PLAYING HENRY JEFFERSON ON
"ALL IN THE FAMILY."
THE REBOOT.
AND YOU WERE THERE -- WE HUNG
OUT, WE ACTUALLY SAT RIGHT NEXT
TO EACH OTHER, WHICH WAS FUN.
IT'S A LONG SHOW, BUT WE HAD A
LOT OF --
>> WE DID.
>> Jimmy: I HAD A LOT OF
COMMENTS.
>> SOME WE CAN SAY AND SOME WE
CAN'T.
>> Jimmy: RIGHT.
>> I'M CURIOUS, THOUGH.
>> Jimmy: ABOUT WHAT?
>> WHAT WAS THE $100 BET THAT
YOU -- OR WHY DID YOU GIVE YOUR
WIFE MOLLY $100?
AND I'LL SAY THIS.
WE'RE SITTING THERE -- WE'RE
SITTING THERE AND ALL OF A
SUDDEN JIMMY JUST PULLS OUT A
WAD OF HUNDREDS AND HE JUST
PEELS OFF AND HANDS IT TO HIS
WIFE.
I STICK MY HAND OUT HE PEELS ONE
OFF AND GIVES IT TO ME.
AND MOLLY SAYS DON'T YOU DARE
GIVE IT BACK TO HIM.
SO I PULLED OUT MY WAD OF
HUNDREDS AND WRAPPED IT AROUND
MINE AND PUT IT IN MY POCKET.
[ APPLAUSE ]
AND SO I NEVER KNEW WHAT THAT
TRANSACTION WAS ABOUT.
IS IT SOMETHING YOU CAN TALK
ABOUT ON AIR?
>> Jimmy: ABSOLUTELY.
IT'S NOT THAT INTERESTING.
BUT FIRST OF ALL, I WANT YOU TO
KNOW THAT YESTERDAY I WAS LIKE
PUTTING MY MONEY -- AND IT
WASN'T A WAD OF HUNDREDS.
THERE HAPPENED TO BE TWO ON THE
OUTSIDE.
AND I'M LOOKING AT IT, I GO, OH,
ANTHONY KEPT MY $100.
BUT IT WAS -- MY WIFE WANTED TO
GO GET SOME PRETZELS TO BRING
THEM BACK.
AND THEN WHEN SHE CAME BACK
THEY'D CLOSED THE LINE, THEY CUT
IT OFF.
>> I REMEMBER THAT.
>> Jimmy: THAT'S WHAT THEY --
YOU KNOW, PRETZELS ARE
EXPENSIVE.
>> ESPECIALLY AT MICROSOFT.
>> Jimmy: AT THAT MICROSOFT
THEATER.
YEAH.
>> OKAY.
>> Jimmy: THAT'S WHAT THE 100
WAS FOR.
IT WASN'T LIKE -- WHAT DID YOU
THINK IT WAS FOR?
>> I HAD NO IDEA.
I JUST SAW MY BROTHER JIMMY
GIVING OUT BROTHER AND I WANTED
MY CUT.
>> Jimmy: I HAD TO PAY MY
WIFE -- OUR DEAL IS I TOLD HER
IF YOU AGREE TO MARRY ME I'LL
PAY YOU $100 AN HOUR.
[ LAUGHTER ]
SO "BLACK-ISH," YOU NOW HAVE TWO
SPINOFF SHOWS, WHICH REALLY IS
THE MARK OF A SUCCESSFUL SHOW.
FOR INSTANCE, NORMAN LEAR, THERE
WERE SO MANY SPINOFFS FROM "ALL
IN THE FAMILY," "THE
JEFFERSONS," "MAUDE."
NOW YOU HAVE TWO SPINOFF SHOWS,
"GROWN-ISH" AND "MIXED-ISH."
ARE YOU PART OF THOSE PROGRAMS?
>> YES, I AM.
>> Jimmy: ARE YOU APPEARING ON
THOSE?
>> YES -- WELL, "MIXED-ISH"
PROBABLY NOT BECAUSE THAT IS
ABOUT RAINBOW'S CHILDHOOD
CHARACTER GROWING UP A MIXED
CHILD LIVING ON A COMMUNE.
>> Jimmy: SO YOU WOULD HAVE TO
LITERALLY TRAVEL IN TIME TO DO
THAT.
>> YES.
>> Jimmy: BUT THAT'S POSSIBLE.
>> THAT'S POSSIBLE.
YOU MIGHT SEE A YOUNG DRE.
LIKE WE HAVE FLASHBACKS ON
"BLACK-ISH."
BUT I'VE BEEN ON "GROWNISH" ALL
THROUGHOUT ALL THREE OR FOUR
SEASONS THEY'VE BEEN AROUND NOW.
>> Jimmy: IT IS REMARKABLE HOW
STRONG THE SHOW STILL IS AND HOW
IT KEEPS GOING.
AND OF COURSE YOUR BIG EMMY
NOMINATION ON SUNDAY.
I YOU KNOW WHAT?
I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU ANOTHER
$100.
>> I APPRECIATE THAT.
WEIL WE'RE SPEAKING ABOUT THE
EMMYS, I UNDERSTAND THE EMMYS
THAT WE ALL WON COLLECTIVELY
WERE FOR THE PRODUCERS.
BUT DO THE ACTORS GET THOSE TOO?
>> Jimmy: APPARENT I. NOT.
THE ACTORS DONE GET THOSE.
>> WITHOUT THE ACTORS YOU
WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO
PRODUCE ANYTHING.
>> Jimmy: I KNOW.
JUST FURNITURE REALLY.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> OH, MAN.
DAMN IT, I THOUGHT I COULD GET
ONE.
BECAUSE IF DOESN'T LOOK GOOD
AGAIN THIS YEAR FOR ME.
>> Jimmy: IT'S NOT?
>> IT'S SOME STIFF COMPETITION.
I ALWAYS FEEL GREAT ABOUT IT.
THIS YEAR LIME IKE, AH.
IT'S DON CHEADLE, TED DANSON,
MICHAEL DOUGLAS.
AND THEN A KID FROM COMPTON.
>> Jimmy: BUT DON'T YOU LOVE
YOUR NAME IS ON THAT LIST WITH
THOSE GUYS?
>> I DO.
>> Jimmy: WELL, CONGRATULATIONS.
ANTHONY ANDERSON, EVERYBODY.
>> THANK YOU.
>> Jimmy: SEASON 6 OF
"BLACK-ISH" A WEEK FROM TOMORROW
NIGHT.
