CONGRATULATIONS!
THE SHOW I IS STREAMING ON IN EFFECT.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) FEELS LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE
FALLEN IN LOVE WITH IT AND YOU'RE GETTING ALL KINDS OF
PRAISE, AS RIGHTLY YOU SHOULD.
THE SHOW IS BRILLIANT, BUT YOU GOT A TWEET FROM MARIAH CAREY
WHO SAYS, FOR A DOLLAR, HOW MUCH EPISODES HAVE I WATCHED IN TWO
DAYS, ONE, TWO, ALL OF THE ABOVE, OBSESSED BILLY EICHNER.
WHAT D DO YOU DO WHEN YOU SEE THAT?
>> THAT WAY WILD.
SHE SENT MULTIPLE TWEETS IN A FEW DAYS BECAUSE SHE WAS
BINGINGT ON IN EFFECT.
AT FIRST, SHE WAS FOLLOWING ME AND I WANTED TO PLAY IT COOL.
BUT I HAVE BEEN OBSESSED WITH HER ALL MY LIFE.
HAD MY FIRST KISS TO A GIRL TO MARIAH CAREY, AND THAT SHOWS YOU
HOW LONG IT WAS.
I GOT NOTIFICATION SHE WAS FOLLOWING ME.
WE WERE ALL FREAKING OUT, THEN SHE STARTED TWEETING ABOUT THE
SHOW, THEN I RESPONDED TO HER, I WROTE TO HER PRIVATELY ON
TWITTER.
EVEN KATHY BATES IS IMPRESSED!
BUT, NO, AND WE EXCHANGED PRIVATE MESSAGES AND SHE WAS
BASICALLY LIVE TWEETING THE SHOW TO ME AS SHE WATCHED IT.
>> WOW.
>> James: A LOT OF EMOJIS.
MARIAH IS NO STRANGER TO AN EMOJI.
>> James: DID YOU TELL MARIAH CAREY YOU ARE ALSO A GRAMMY
NOMINATED ARTIST FOR THE LION KING SOUND TRACK?
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> YES, SHE'S PRETTY JEALOUS.
>> James: YEAH, WHEN IT COMES TO GRAMMYS.
>> THAT'S COOL, YES.
>> James: IT'S SO COOL.
IT WOULD BE, LIKE, MARIAH, ANY TIPS FOR THE GRAMMYS?
>> YEAH.
I FEEL LIKE, OH, I DON'T KNOW, LIKE LADY GAGA, BRADLEY COOPER,
IN THAT CATEGORY.
IT'S GOING TO BE A TOUGH ONE.
>> James: THAT'S THE BUZZ.
LY FIGHT BRADLEY COOPER TO THE DEATH.
YOU KNOW I WILL.
>> James: YOU WORKED AS A SINGING WAITRESS.
