>> I said we got to chill
because I forgot my lines.
>> To be able to go back in that
vault and see those moments.
>> Wow.
>> That is crazy.
That makes me so happy.
>> What do you remember about
that time in your life?
>> Everything was so new.
I felt like I deserved to be
there.
But I was very excited to be
there.
My wife was like this the whole
time.
I looked at her like that's
Angela bassit.
>> Angela said she'd do another
how Stella got her groove back.
>> I'd do it in a second.
It would be really interesting.
Because the dude that that
character's based on ended up
coming out of the closet.
That would be interesting.
>> Interesting scenario.
>> To say the least.
>> Find what's up now.
>> Yes.
>> You said that you kind of
knew you were going to be there
because you always knew you were
destined for this.
Where's that drive come from?
>> It was, I don't know the
universe.
Maybe my mother.
Gave me a lot of confidence I
remember one of my first gigs I
was working at pizzeria uno.
>> Love that.
>> Exactly.
So the first day of work,
everybody's asking, what do you
do, I said actor, I remember two
other females I was ought the
hosting stand they're like
oh, like everybody else.
I so no in a year I guarantee
I'll be on Broadway have my own
TV show or be in a movie and I
was on Broadway within a year.
[ Cheers and applause ]
I feel very blessed.
>> That's when you were
waitering, did you ever eat
people's food.
They didn't touch it, I didn't
have any money.
There's a clean slice.
>> Yes.
>> No?
>> I was too anxious to be a
waiter.
I was the host.
>> Oh, the host.
>> Yes.
So I would smile and bring them
to their seat.
>> So the answer is definitely
yes.
>> Absolutely.
You remember those days.
Hungry.
>> When you talk about Broadway
it makes us think about the
mother of your kids.
Know what I mean.
>> The wickedly talented Adele
I mean

Is bigger than anything on the
planet.
>> Yes, yes.
>> The music is everywhere.
You see John travolta stand on
that stage and say that.
>> Terror.
Just because I know.
As talented as my baby momma is,
I was just, that was a big
moment for her.
>> That was a big moment for
her.
So I was just hoping she was
dealing with it okay.
But I was horrified.
Horrified.
>> Right.
>> Horrified.
>> And John was so cute about
it, John travolta felt so bad,
we've all been there and look
and it's it's phonetically.
>> I haven't been there.
Not that bad.
But she's fine.
>> She ain't hurt.
>> No one's complaining.
