-Oh, I can see you again.
-You can see me?
-Yeah, I can see you. -I can see you again.
-Alright, we're good, we're -- -Good luck with editing this.
-I know.
[ Both laugh ]
I was going to say, have you seen people online --
They're on TikTok dubbing your movies
and doing your lines from your movies?
-Yes, and that has given me so much life
and just so much joy.
And it reminds me of why I do what I do.
Like, those people were definitely touched
in some kind of way by these characters, so much so
that they did a whole TikTok and had to learn the timing.
And, you know, so these are characters
that really live in their heart,
and that just -- That gave me joy.
It gives me joy every time I see them.
[ Laughs ] -You give a lot of people joy.
One of the things that they can do to get their minds off
of everything that's happening right now
is you have a movie on Netflix called "Coffee & Kareem."
Can we talk about that?
-So, Ed Helms action comedy for Netflix.
And I was like, "I'm in." I didn't even read the script.
And then I finally read the script,
and I was like, "Ooh, whew, thank God it's good,
and it's funny."
But -- I play a mom
but a mom who kicks ass, like, literally,
to save her baby.
She literally saves the movie.
She saves everyone. [ Laughs ]
-Perfect for you.
-Yes. Thank you. I think so.
It was fun. I'd never done action comedy before.
-Had you ever worked with Ed Helms before?
-Never. And I hope this is not my last time,
'cause we had a -- an incredible time.
I think we had great chemistry. -He's funny.
-I would love -- Yeah, he's very funny.
-It's good. It's kind of an odd combo. But you never know.
Sometimes those odd combos end up being really great.
-I love odd combos.
I like things that you don't expect.
-Me, too. Me, too.
Last time you were on our show,
and I cannot wait for the next time
just so I can see you in person,
but we talked about the Boris Lawrence Henson Foundation.
This is your dad?
-That's named after my dad.
And it's -- You know, we're doing advocacy work
in the African-American community.
We want to really take -- eradicate the stigma.
And right now I feel, like, inclined to do something
because people are suffering alone. They're isolated.
They really feel like they can't --
They have nowhere to turn.
And I can afford to pick up the phone and call my therapist.
I can afford to do that.
But in, you know, communities that are under-served,
they have to decide between a meal or their health.
And mental health is always something
that we don't even deal with in the African-American community.
So what we're trying to do is give a bit of relief.
So we're having this fundraiser where we're raising money.
All you have to do is text NoStigma, one word, to 707070
and donate whatever you can.
But this is for people who I like to say if you've never --
You were scared of going to therapy,
this is a great way to try it.
We have nowhere to be, nowhere to go.
You're in the comfort of your own home.
And you have a virtual session online.
And you feel safe because you're home.
But we're all --
This is for families that have been directly,
I mean, affected by this COVID unemployment.
They can't afford it.
So we're just trying to help and be some relief
for people who need it.
-You got to take care of yourself
physically and mentally. -Especially now.
-Text NoStigma to 707070.
Taraji P. Henson, TPH, I love you.
I can't wait to see you. -I love you, too.
-And thank you so much. -Stay safe.
This means so much that you came and did this.
Thank you so, so, so much.
-Thank you so much.
And stay safe, and love to your family.
-Bye, buddy. Love you.
-Okay. Bye-bye.
