- "Marry U at Recess"?
More like "Marry U at Spring Break."
- That's right, America's favorite singer
is headed to NYU,
finally fulfilling a month-long dream of his.
- The sexy teen,
shown here biffing it hard at the VMAs last month,
starts classes today and is leaving the spotlight for good.
- And that's why I'm so lucky to have him in the studio
for his last ever live TV interview.
Give it up for my son, ChaseDreams!
[crowd cheering]
- Whoa, Mom, your fans are sick.
- Now, Chase, are you so excited to start college today?
- Yeah, I've been giving it a lot of thought,
and I think it's gonna be tight.
I'm just excited to be a normal kid
and live in the dorms and do reading.
all: Aww.
- Well, I think that's just great, honey.
And as I always say--
all: Reading is good!
- Plus, Mom, you've always been my biggest fan,
and now I get to be yours
'cause you're the best host ever.
Isn't she killing it?
- Well, as you all know,
because I talk about him every show,
I'm not the only host in the family who's killing it.
My gay son Cary is a host now too.
- Hey, bitches, you're watching "Age, Net Worth, Feet"
on E! News Digital.
As always, I'm on the red carpet asking celebs
the only three questions you at home care about.
Zoisa Mamet is here with me now.
Zosia, what's your age?
- Hi. Uh, 32.
- And what's your net worth? - Uh, 3 million?
- And can we see those feet? - Um...
- Look at those little piggies.
Oh, Gosh, have so much fun inside.
- Yeah, no, totally. You too. - Thank you.
- Thanks.
- Now Chase, I know there's someone very special
in the audience you wanted to thank.
- Yes, my manager, Streeter.
For taking a chance on a little boy
found on his computer in the middle of the night.
- [mouthing] Thank you. - And now he's taking a chance
and managing me.
Because it's like I always say--
all: Every chance you choose to take
is a path that you create.
- Whoa, your fans memorize a lot.
- Oh, speaking of, my daughter Brookie's a manager too.
I wanted her to co-manage me, but she said, "No, Mom,
my brand is more music," so she is out there on her own,
scouring the nation looking for the next Chase.
Doesn't that sound fun?

what's the biggest thing you learned
about being ChaseDreams?
- Well, I used to say the grind never stops.
But I learned it can stop if you want it to.
And that's what's cool about the grind.

Gonna be such a dope however-many years college is.
- Ugh. - Brooke,
what's going on?
Why are you trying to find clients here?
- Because no real singers will let me represent them.
Even though I already managed ChaseDreams.
Sure, it was "for an hour" and he "didn't even know",
but does that count for nothing?
- Yeah, I-I think that is nothing.
But couldn't you manage your mom?
I love her show, by the way.
- No. Jo, my brand is not lame daytime.
It is cool music, and I should be able to rep anyone now.
But frickin' Alessia Cara won't return my DMs.
Do you know Alessia?

Will you put in a good word?

Your mom invited everybody on the family text thread.

I get up at 11:00 p.m., head to work at 12,
then I have 5 1/2 hours of makeup.
For women over 50,
it's technically applied by a carpenter.
Did you know that, Cary? Then at 6:00,
I do my affiliate throws for every city in America.
At 7:00, I have my meetings. At 8:00,
I do an hour of touch-ups, again with the carpenter.
Then we shoot at 9:00. The show airs at 11:00.
I have my dinner at 4:00 and I'm in bed by 6:00.
- Wow. That is quite a schedule.
- Yes. It makes it very hard
to sync up for, um... intercourse.
- But I can't complain.
I mean, how many people get to have their own talk show?
- Hi, Pat.
Blake just wanted to thank you so much for coming.
- Aww. - And to reassure you
that this isn't racist. - Oh, good.
Oh, and I am so sorry for blabbing on.
This must be the famous Jess.
- Yes. Hi. I feel like we've already met
since you talk about me so much on your show.
- I'm just so proud that Cary finally has a boyfriend.
- Oh, hey, Jess. I'm the, uh, I'm the famous Streeter.
Welcome to the fam. As a former new guy
who has now fully immersed himself within the group,
I gotta warn you--these guys can be pretty tough at times.
Yeah, I mean, they'll laugh at you,
and they'll make fun of you,
and they'll stop talking when you enter the room.
But that's just their way of saying that they love you.
But it-it-it-it-- can get to you.
You know, it can, um, you know, really hurt at times.
- Hey, there you guys are. Okay.
Mom, I've been thinking and...
I'm sorry, is this racist?
- Oh, um, no. They said no.
- Okay. Um, I've been thinking, and I have a big announcement.
- Wait, Brooke, before that,
do you see this stupid loser that Cary brought?
This is what I'm talking about.
You see his dumb face and his dumb clothes?
God, let's kill him. Ha. Now you're fitting in.
- Oh, my God. Streeter, stop.
I have something important to say.
Okay, as we all know, my brand has historically been music.
But I've been thinking
and, Mom, I would really love to be your co-manager.
- Aww. - It's definitely
not because I couldn't find anyone else.
It's because I wanna work with you.
So what do you say? Can I rejoin the Dream Team?
- Honey, of course!
Oh, I'm so excited to have you on the team.
- Yeah, and you know I'm in. I mean, oh, Brooke, this is
going to be the beginning of a beautiful partnership.
- Okay. - Oh, Brookie, do you think
that I should go thank Blake for having us?
- Oh, um, yeah. I think that's probably a good idea.
- Okay.
- Why didn't she ask me?
- Ohh.
- Well, congrats on having a client
that knows they're your client.
- Yes, thank you.
I'm officially a music manager who works in daytime.

- Hey, at least you're not waiting tables,

- And wouldn't it be kinda hard to manage Chase?
Not to be rude, but he can't really sing.
- That is true, Brooke.
I love him, but he is not a good singer.
- I guess you're right.
I've been wanting him to come back all day,
but, like, what would we even do with him?
- It's better he's in college
just, you know, being a normal kid.
- What do you mean? Who's in college?
- Um, Chase? - Oh, right. He's not.
He's back. He just got here. Look. Chase!
- Hey, guys. - Wazzzzup!
Chase is back. All right!
- Wait. What? - Why are you here?
- Oh, Chase, you gotta meet
this piece of shit that Cary's dating.
No, I love you. I love you, Jess.
- Wait, no. I mean, hold on.
Why aren't you in school right now?
- I miss being a singer.
I mean, college was lit but I decided singing is more lit.
So I dropped out.
- Isn't that the best news ever?
- This is so insane.
ChaseDreams is, like, in my Urban Planning class.
He is fully a child.
- LOL. ChaseDreams has been taking
this Behavioral Studies test for an hour,
and has not written a thing.
- Holy shit. ChaseDreams is in my Behavioral Studies class.
I was teaching and I saw him,
and I was like, "What is happening?"

These assholes.
You should be glad you didn't get into NYU.
- No, I got in, I just-- both: Just couldn't go.
I don't know.
It never even occurred to me he'd be having a hard time.
But then, I guess, of course?
- Yeah. - Hey.
can I sit with you guys for a sec?
- Oh, yeah. - Chase, yeah, yeah.
- Come on in. - How are ya?
- Good. I just met Jess.
He's really nice. Congrats on your first boyfriend.
- Oh, thanks, buddy.
- Oh, and Streeter says you're my manager now too?
- Oh. Um, yeah. I am.
- But he says if I have questions,
I should still ask him first and then ask you second.
And then I didn't really get this part,
but he said I could ask Jess third
if I email him at loser dot com.
- Oh, my God.
- It's not bad that I quit, is it?
- Oh, my God, no. Of course not.
I mean, I'm happy it was lit for you,
but I personally think college is stupid.
I didn't even go.
- Yeah. No, NYU's overrated. Everyone says that.
- Plus, all your fans are gonna be so happy you're back.
- Really?
- Yeah. Starting tomorrow, I'm gonna make you
an even more famous singer than you already were.
- Okay. Cool. Thanks, Brooke.
- Yeah.
- Well, I'll head back inside.
- All right, yeah. - Okay.
- How are you going to make him a more famous singer?
We were literally just talking about how he can't sing.
- I don't know. I guess I'll sleep on it?
- Brookie, there you are! I'm off to work.
And since it's your first day on the team,
I thought maybe you can come to the show and meet everyone.
- It's almost midnight. - It's already midnight.
Day is night and night is day for me.
I wake up at 11:00, head to work at 12:00,
then I have 5 1/2 hours of makeup.
- Hey! Ha ha ha ha!
- I have a boyfriend. - Faggot.
- O...kay.
- And that's when we found out
my husband had cancer. - Oh, no.
- We all knew we were gonna lose him.
- Of course.
- But then the cancer went away.
- Oh, good.
- But then he got into a car accident.
- Oh, no.
- He was fine. Only the bumper was damaged.
- That's good.
- But then last year, the cancer came back.
And he died.
all: Aww.
- I'm so sorry to hear that, Sheila.
And in the future, that car part can just lift right out.
- I can see that. - Okay. That's our show.
