Hello, O'Shea.
Hey.
Good to see you.
I hear that you went out.
You were out later than me.
Yeah.
What time did you get home?
Probably about 2, 3.
Nice 8:45 pick up.
So it was a rough night.
But it was a good time.
Yeah.
Which parties did you go to?
Where do you go?
WME.
I'm a client of theirs.
And so I got to attend those.
But it's always fun.
I get to go and be a bit of a groupie.
Yeah.
I get to see, of course, Leo and Paul Rudd.
I love Paul Rudd.
I love Paul, too.
I got to talk to Rami Malek.
It was really a popping night.
Yeah.
That's what's great about the Globes.
It's people from every industry.
It's film, television, music.
It was--
Yeah.
But you?
Yeah.
I mean, you cleaned up.
You brought home some hardware.
I did.
Would you like to hold it?
It's heavy.
Yeah.
Please.
Yeah.
It's nice.
One day.
Yeah.
But I've been such a major fan of you.
Like I told you before, I know you as Ellen Morgan.
And EDtv?
EDtv, you have a quote in there.
It says that you are the golden goddess of television.
And I think everyone will agree.
Oh, my God.
Thank you.
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
Thank you.
Yeah.
You have a two-year-old daughter.
Yeah.
And that must be really fun.
Like, holidays, that's what it's all about, right?
Yeah.
Did you go crazy this year?
See, Dada has some checks now.
So I was able to--
I pretty much destroyed Christmas.
You know, I was killing Christmas.
Like, my family, everybody gets one cool gift.
But Jordan got all of the gifts.
Yeah
I destroyed.
She got a new tent that she likes.
She likes her little Barbie bikes.
Anything pink is pretty much on the market.
I was loving it.
It felt pretty good.
That's great.
And Ice Cube is a grandpa.
Yeah.
[LAUGHS]
How is Ice Cube as a grandfather?
He's pudding.
Yeah?
Just mush.
Yeah.
He loves it.
He's getting a kick out of it.
Every now and then he'll stop me and he'll be like, "Hey, man.
You got a great daughter."
And I'm like, "Thanks, Dad."
But she yells at him.
Whenever his phone rings, she'll just automatically, "No,
Granddad!"
And he has to take phone calls in the other room because
of the two-year-old.
Good for her.
[LAUGHS] Real strong.
She's right.
All right.
So Just Mercy, we have to talked about this movie, which is so--
not just a great movie, but an important movie
because it's a true story.
And I just hope everybody sees it
because this is unbelievable.
And tell everybody what it's about.
Just Mercy is based off a book of the same title
by Bryan Stevenson.
And it's the story of him getting Walter McMillian,
a man who was wrongfully accused of a murder, off of death row.
And Bryan Stevenson is a real life superhero.
Some of the work that he's done to save
lives, you know, people who feel that they are hopeless,
that they don't have a voice, he stood up and gave these people
their lives back.
The EJI and everything that they do--
they invited me to this beautiful banquet
where I got to meet a man who was incarcerated
for 50 years for something he didn't do.
Unbelievable.
You can hear it in their voice that they
can't believe they're free, you know,
to be able to tell their story.
To see these grown men have that shake,
you know, that shake when they speak.
And it touches you.
And a lot of times, we have films or movies
that are popcorn movies to kind of escape from everything.
But this film, it kind of wakes people up.
And I hope that it inspires many more Bryan Stevensons.
Yeah.
And we have him on the show this week with Michael B. Jordan.
And did you know Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Foxx before?
[LAUGHS] I had met Michael B. Jordan.
But I got to meet him on set, of course.
But Jamie, I knew.
I met Jamie Foxx one time.
I was probably 19, 20.
I was doing some Christmas shopping.
And I walked to the Gucci store to get my mom some glasses.
And Jamie Foxx is in the Gucci store, twirling a cane.
And I go up to him and introduce myself.
And he raps all of my dad's song Gangsta Gangsta
to me in its entirety.
And then a woman comes out of the wall in the Gucci store
with mimosas.
It was the craziest thing I'd ever seen.
[LAUGHS] It was wild.
I didn't even know-- where's the alcohol in the Gucci store?
Yeah.
But, yeah.
Yeah.
This was my first time interacting.
That's a good memory.
Yeah.
That's a good way.
I agree with you.
It's a very important film for everyone to see.
It's called Just Mercy.
It's in limited theaters now and opens everywhere Friday.
We'll be right back.
