ZOOM - >> Jimmy: THAT'S WILD. >> WHICH WAS JUST KIND OF
DERANGED, HONESTLY BUT REALLY FUN THERE WERE MOMENTS WHERE --
THERE WAS A TIME DIFFERENCE. I WAS IN COPENHAGEN AT THE TIME BECAUSE I'M HALF DANISH AND I

AND SO, OFTEN, OUR ZOOM CALLS WOULD BE AT, LIKE, 2:00 IN THE MORNING FOR ME
AND SO, WE'D ALL BE LIKE, BUNDLED UP WITH OUR BLANKETS AND OUR TEA AND JUST, LIKE,
HAMMERING IN EVERY SINGLE WORD AND LINE AND DECIDING WHAT WE WANTED TO SAY.

SUPPORT THESE ACTORS AND EVERYONE, THE CREW AND EVERYBODY.
HOW DO WE SET UP "DEAR EVAN HANSEN?" AND HOW DO WE SET UP THIS
MOVIE? >> SURE. WELL, I THINK "DEAR EVAN
HANSEN" HOPEFULLY ADDRESSES A LOT OF, KIND OF, THE WAYS IN WHICH WE ALL UNIVERSALLY
STRUGGLE WITH MENTAL ILLNESS >> Jimmy: YEAH >> AND SO -- HOPEFULLY, IT
SERVES AS A PLACE FOR PEOPLE TO FEEL SEEN AND UNDERSTOOD WHEN IT COMES TO DEALING WITH
DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY AND, YOU KNOW, ALL OF US WHO ARE A PART OF IT HAVE DEALT
WITH THAT OR CONTINUING TO DEAL WITH THAT IN SOME WAY, SHAPE OR FORM
AND THE FILM IS REALLY JUST ABOUT KNOWING THAT YOU'RE NOT ALONE IN THAT EXPERIENCE AND
IT'S NORMAL TO STRUGGLE. IT'S NORMAL TO FEEL WEIRD OR DEAL WITH SOCIAL ANXIETY
AND YEAH, I HOPE THAT IT MAKES PEOPLE FEEL THAT WAY >> Jimmy: YEAH
WELL, IT WAS -- YOU WERE FANTASTIC IN THE MOVIE, AND YOU'RE REALLY GOOD DINNER DATE
I LOVED IT, THANKS TO YOU, BUDDY. >> I HAD A REALLY GOOD TIME
WITH YOU >> Jimmy: I WANT TO SHOW EVERYONE A CLIP.
