DONE A PLAY. AND -- BUT I PROVED THE FACT THAT I'M SO NOT ROCK 'N' ROLL
BY NATURE, YOU KNOW? I'M A SORT OF GOOD THEATER GIRL BY NATURE, RATHER THAN A MAD
ROCK 'N' ROLLER. BECAUSE ONE NIGHT KEITH MOON SORT OF APPEARED OUT OF THE
BLUE WELL, ACTUALLY, OUT OF A A RUBBISH BIN THAT HE'D FALLEN
INTO IN THE ALLEY WAY OUTSIDE MY DRESSING ROOM >> Jimmy: NO WAY
>> AND I HEARD THIS HUGE KERFUFFLE, YOU KNOW, AT THE STAGE DOOR, WHICH WAS DOWN
BELOW MY DRESSING ROOM COMING UP THE STAIRS OUTSIDE MY DRESSING ROOM, AND THEN BANG,
BANG, BANG ON THE DOOR AND I OPEN MY DOOR AND IT WAS JUST BEFORE MY LAST ENTRANCE IN
THE PLAY AND HERE IT WAS KEITH MOON STANDING THERE
HE SAID, "'ELLO, HELEN." I SAID, "GOSH, KEITH WHAT AN HONOR TO MEET YOU.
HOW FABULOUS HE SAID, "I'M COMING ON STAGE WITH YOU
IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE FANTASTIC. I'M COMING ON STAGE WITH YOU." AND TO MY ABSOLUTE DISCREDIT,
MY ROCK AND ROLL DISCREDIT, I SORT OF GOT VERY ENGLISH AND, "OH, NO, NO, KEITH
I DON'T THINK THAT'S A GOOD IDEA." HE WAS COMPLETELY BLASTED
INSTANTLY. HE WAS COMPLETELY OUT OF IT. SO I DID SAY -- I DID SAY NO
AND IT WAS A TERRIBLE MISTAKE. BECAUSE -- IT WOULDN'T HAVE MATTERED HOW CHAOTIC IT HAD
BEEN IT WOULD HAVE BEEN JUST SUCH A A FABULOUS EXPERIENCE TO BE
ONSTAGE WITH KEITH MOON. >> Jimmy: YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN A MEMBER OF "THE WHO", YEAH.
>> ABSOLUTELY, YEAH. >> Jimmy: YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU'RE ALREADY A ROCK STAR
YOU DON'T NEED IT. WE LOVE YOU. BUT I WANT TO TALK WITH YOU

VERY, VERY TOP OF THE LIST OF THINGS I'M PROUD OF. >> Jimmy: THANK YOU FOR DOING
WHAT YOU DO. YEAH >> A LOT OF WORK TO DO
>> Jimmy: YEAH SPEAKING OF WORK, DURING THE PANDEMIC, YOU GO, "YEAH, WE'RE
STILL GOING TO DO SHOWS. WE'RE GONNA GIVE YOU WHAT YOU LIKE
WE'RE GOING MAKE MORE EPISODES OF 'BLACKISH.' >> RIGHT
>> Jimmy: DURING A PANDEMIC, WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE, BUT YOU SAID, "NO, NOTHING IS
IMPOSSIBLE." THE FIRST TWO EPISODES YOU MADE ANIMATED
>> RIGHT WE WANTED TO -- WE WERE -- KAREY BURKE AND ALL THOSE GUYS
OVER AT ABC. WE WERE LIKE, WE'RE LUCKY ENOUGH TO KIND OF BE ONE OF THE
ONLY SHOWS ON NETWORK TELEVISION THAT ACTUALLY TALKS ABOUT THINGS
AND WE FELT LIKE IT WAS REALLY IMPORTANT TO STILL BE IN THAT CONVERSATION WITH EVERYTHING
THAT WAS GOING ON, WITH THE CIVIL UNREST, AND JUST WITH OUR POLITICAL PROCESS.
AND WE FELT LIKE WE DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE ANY HICCUPS WITH COVID AND THINGS LIKE THAT
SO WE KNEW ANIMATION WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT KEPT GOING ON, AND THEY LET US DO AN ANIMATED
EPISODE. >> Jimmy: IT'S BRILLIANT >> IT CAME OUT REALLY GOOD
THAT SHOW IS JUST THE GIFT THAT KEEPS GIVING >> Jimmy: YEAH, WE'VE KNOWN
ANTHONY FOR A LONG TIME. I LOVE HIM ANYTHING ANTHONY DOES, I JUST
LOVE HIM THIS IS -- YOU'RE GOING INTO THE EIGHTH AND FINAL SEASON.
>> YEAH. >> Jimmy: SO THIS IS IT, GOING -- BUT IT'S BITTERSWEET,
RIGHT? >> IT IS BITTERSWEET WE ARE REALLY LUCKY BECAUSE
SHOWS -- ONE, TO BE A BLACK SHOW THAT CAME ON AFTER "MODERN FAMILY" WAS AMAZING.
IT WAS REALLY IMPORTANT TO US TO SAY THAT WE WANTED TO SPEAK TO THE WORLD, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M
SAYING AND TALKING ABOUT OUR CULTURE. WE DIDN'T WANT TO HIDE IT.
WE WANTED IT TO BE A SHOW THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY ABOUT A 100% BLACK FAMILY.
YOU DON'T GET TO SAY GOODBYE SOMETIMES, YOU'RE JUST CANCELLED.
BUT TO BE ABLE TO WALK THE SHOW HOME AND GIVE THE AUDIENCE WHO'S SUPPORTED US THIS LONG A
A PROPER GOODBYE IT MEANS A LOT AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET YOU
AND THE ROOTS AND EVERYBODY TO COME BE A PART OF THIS LAST SEASON IN A BIG WAY.
>> Jimmy: YEAH YOU KIND OF SAID ROOTS MORE THAN YOU SAID ME, BUT IT'S
OKAY [ LAUGHTER ] >> Jimmy: I TAKE THAT AS AN
INVITE I WANT TO TALK ABOUT "WE THE PEOPLE" ON NETFLIX
I LOVE THAT YOU'RE DOING THIS. I THINK IT'S THE BEST. YOU KNOW, I THINK OF
"SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK. >> YES >> Jimmy: WHEN I HAD THAT
GROWING UP, AND I LOVED IT, AND THAT'S HOW I LEARNED, REALLY I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY MY TEACHERS
AS WELL, BUT -- YEAH [ LAUGHTER ] PLEASE, OH MY GOSH
TO ALL MY TEACHERS OUT THERE, I LEARNED FROM YOU, OBVIOUSLY, AND MY PARENTS
BUT I'M JUST A BILL? >> I MEAN, THAT WAS IT >> Jimmy: THAT'S HOW I KNOW
THAT >> IT TOLD ME HOW, WHEN THE THING WAS GOING, I'M LIKE,
"HOLD ON, BECAUSE HE'S JUST A BILL." I WOULD REMEMBER IT, LIKE YOU
KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING, YEAH >> Jimmy: IS THAT KIND OF WHERE IT CAME FROM
>> SO I WAS AT THIS THING, THE EDINBURGH FOUNDATION HOLDS THIS THING AND NORMAN LEAR HAD
INVITED ME IT WAS AMAZING AND, YOU KNOW, ONE OF MY
FRIENDS, CHRIS NEE, WHO CREATED THIS AMAZING SHOW, "DOC McSTUFFINS," WHICH I THINK
IS THE LONGEST RUNNING ANIMATION ON DISNEY. >> Jimmy: OF COURSE,
"DOC McSTUFFINS. >> AND WE FOUND OUT, BECAUSE THEY BRING IN ALL THESE PEOPLE
TO GIVE YOU, YOU KNOW, LECTURES AND STUFF LIKE THAT. CIVICS IS NOT TAUGHT IN SCHOOL
ANYMORE. SO WE WERE LIKE, THIS HAS TO BE SOMETHING THAT WE START AT A
A YOUNG AGE, TEACHING KIDS ABOUT THE PROCESS. AND SHE CAME UP WITH THIS
AMAZING IDEA AND ASKED ME TO HELP, YOU KNOW, COME IN WITH HER.
AND BARACK AND MICHELLE CAME AND PRODUCED IT. AND I WAS LIKE, "YEAH.
I MEAN, I GUESS. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE >> Jimmy: "LET ME THINK --
YES. >> ALL RIGHT >> Jimmy: SO YOU HAD
BARACK OBAMA AND MICHELLE OBAMA, OKAY BUT ARE THERE ANY BIG NAMES
INVOLVED BUT WHO ELSE IS INVOLVED WITH THIS
>> IT'S CRAZY. IT'S AN ANIMATED, SORT OF, HOMAGE OF "SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK.
WE GOT PETER RAMSEY, WHO WAS ANIMATION DIRECTOR FOR "INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE," WHICH WAS
GROUNDBREAKING >> Jimmy: IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES I'VE EVER SEEN
>> IT COULD'VE WON BEST PICTURE. >> Jimmy: I AGREE.
I THINK IT SHOULD -- YEAH, I LOVED IT >> IT COULD'VE WON BEST
PICTURE. SO HE IS ONE OF THE ANIMATORS. WE'VE GOT AN AMAZING GROUP OF,
YOU KNOW, REALLY DIVERSE AND TALENTED ANIMATION DIRECTORS SOME HUGE NAMES.
H.E.R. DOES AN AMAZING SONG. JANELLE MONAE, ADAM LAMBERT, BRANDI CARLILE, JUST AMAZING
PEOPLE ACROSS THE BOARD. AND THEY ALL COME TOGETHER AND IT'S FOR A GOOD CAUSE, AND I
THINK FROM JUST MOVING ON, I FEEL LIKE I WANT THE THINGS I DO TO BE ABOUT SOMETHING
YOU WHAT I'M SAYING? EVEN IF IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE -- I WANT PEOPLE TO
START A CONVERSATION, EVEN SOME CONVERSATION THAT IS AGAINST ME -- AT LEAST IT STARTS A
A CONVERSATION I THINK THIS CONVERSATION IS ABOUT LEARNING WHAT THIS
COUNTRY AT ITS FOUNDATION SHOULD BE ABOUT. AND ALSO TAKING RESPONSIBILITY
FOR WHAT IT'S NOT ABOUT. AND I THINK THAT ANIMATION IS SOMETHING THAT LASTS THE TEST
OF TIME AND I'M REALLY HAPPY TO BE A PART OF IT. >> Jimmy: IT IS CALLED, "WE THE
PEOPLE" FOURTH OF JULY, NETFLIX. LOOK FOR IT.
I WANT TO SHOW EVERYONE A CLIP HERE'S A CLIP OF H.E.R.'S SONG, "CHANGE" FROM "WE THE PEOPLE."
