Hello, Thomas.
Hello, Ellen.
It's good to see you.
Thanks for being here in person.
Thanks for having me here in person.
I like the entire ensemble.
I like--
There's a lot going on.
I like the shirt.
And does it have a meaning, because I don't understand it?
These are my dogs, Meatloaf and Potter,
and I drew my dogs on my own sweater.
You drew this?
Yeah, and I won't apologize.
Yeah, I deserve a round of applause.
You certainly do.
I like it, and I appreciate you being here.
As I said, I have a feeling it's because we
have a live audience, and you're craving that.
Oh yeah, this is my sold-out crowd right now.
Haven't heard that sound in a long time.
Applause.
Yeah.
Because you're shooting without an audience right now.
Yeah, shooting without an audience, and as you know,
going up on stage--
I'm comedy touring.
All that's done.
So it's just finding ways of entertaining oneself
or being entertaining basically online.
I tried to do--
I tried to learn piano.
That--
Is that what you're doing during quarantine?
Basically.
I thought it might be entertaining to show people
that I'm plinking away and getting better.
Did you have a piano already?
No, I went and bought a keyboard--
Oh, a keyboard.
--like a keyboard.
Yeah.
And did you learn?
It's now just a furniture piece.
OK, well, you say you can't really get on stage.
Dave Chappelle has his thing in Ohio, and you're a pilot.
You could fly yourself there and do something.
Yeah, Dave and I know each other quite well.
I'll just say-- I'll call Dave up.
I'll say, "Hey, I'm popping in on your thing.
I'm just going to come by and crash your little thing."
I'll connect you two, because he would love to have you there.
Sure.
But you're a pilot, right?
Yeah, yeah.
I've been flying for about five years now.
Wow.
And the cool thing-- this is--
I love this about him.
You're a pilot, and you pick up dogs from certain states
and fly them to be adopted in other states.
You're picking up and flying dogs that need to be rescued.
Yeah.
What's the name of the organization?
Yeah.
There's this organization called Pilots N
Paws which acts as a bridge to various rescues and maybe.
So like a shelter will be full, and another dog
needs to go to another shelter that has room.
Or maybe has a medical emergency, this dog
or cat or something.
Or maybe they finally found a forever home.
You as a private pilot can volunteer your airplane
and your time to help get--
That is so great you do that.
What's the most-- how many dogs can you fit on your plane?
Depends on the size.
At most I had was three.
There was a doberman, some little terrier thing,
and a little puppy of something, like a chihuahua puppy.
That was on the lap.
And then those other dogs are in the back.
How do you not rescue every dog that you put on that plane?
A lot of them are really sweet pets.
It's kind of nice, you know.
Do you have a dog?
Yeah, I got two.
Of course you do.
I have two.
There they are.
Oh yeah, look.
Yeah, there they are.
Oh God, that's fashion.
Look at the fashion that's going on.
That beautiful onesie.
Oh, this kid knows how to dress himself.
So did you rescue them from one of those trips?
I had rescued them prior.
Meatloaf, the little one, this little monster--
That one?
I got her from a shelter.
And then actually when I first moved to LA,
I was walking her around, and Potter came out the bushes.
And he was all torn up and stuff, so I helped him out.
Oh, that's great, and they get along.
They like each other.
They hate each other.
They're mortal enemies.
Sometimes dogs don't get along.
You never know.
Well, that's-- I just love that you do that.
Oh, thank you.
All right, let's talk about B Positive.
I know a little bit about it, but tell everybody
what this storyline is.
Well, B Positive is about a guy who maybe is a little prickly.
He doesn't have too much friends.
He finds out that he has a kidney--
He's going into kidney failure and needs a new kidney.
And no one that he knows will donate their organs,
so he bumps into randomly somebody
he knows from high school, played by Annaleigh Ashford.
And she is a total whirlwind, and she volunteers
to give him her kidney.
And boy, are they going to learn some things
about each other along the way.
Oh, no.
Let me tell ya.
Hijinks ensue.
Oh my goodness, every Thursday you
can bet your bottom dollar on it.
And you play a father?
Is that weird to be a dad on--
you have a kid now on a sitcom.
Yeah, it is weird, especially--
yeah, I don't know.
I never feel-- I never looked in the mirror
and go, "That looks like a dad."
I feel like maybe--
I feel like I'm too skinny to be a dad.
I feel like every dad's got more paunch on them.
I don't have a paunch yet.
Yeah.
I'm wasting away in the pandemic,
while every dad is like, "Gobbledygoo."
I don't know.
Maybe, maybe, there are skinny dads.
There are skinny dads.
OK.
Hey, to skinny dads.
To skinny dads.
Yeah.
