Paranoid about ordering take out, teaching yoga on instagram to calm my own damn nerves, and doing press for my new documentary the fight, which basically means running a press junket from that same corner of that same bedroom. Other than that though, its been super chill. But when im feeling my most anxious i think about the frontline workers, Grocery Store employees, sanitation workers, mail carriers. Shout out to the mail carriers especially during this time. I think about how hard theyre working and im truly grateful. A lot has been put into perspective during covid. I think were all feeling more grateful for our loved ones, and were aware of the fragility of life and the need to really look out for one another. Which is why im happy to fill in for jimmy so he could spend the summer catching exactly four fish. Come on, jumyy jimmy do better. All kidding aside, i love you jimmy. Actually, fun fact, between me and jimmy, together we have won seven naacp image awards. Thats true, look it up. And another fun fact, we are currently nominated for an emmy together for our work on live in front of a studio audience. I just love working with jimmy. And apparently for jimmy, while he sits in a hammock scrolling through his instagram. So listen theres a lot going on in america right now. I dont even know how you find the funny. I never thought id see the day when im having panic attacks thinking about the us postal service, but ladies and gentlemen thats 2020 for ya. The Democratic National convention got underway today, which i will be participating in on wednesday. Im super excited. This isnt my first time speaking at a convention. Many people think im drawn to politics because i starred on scandal, a show set in an alternate universe, where people actually care when a president does something wrong. But really im drawn to politics because im an american. And like you i get to have a say about who the people are that make the rules and decisions that guide our lives. And not just at the top of the ticket. We get to choose our local leaders as well. Part of my passion for politics and Civic Engagement comes from my parents. I have two wonderful parents. If you follow me on instagram, and if you dont shame on you, you already know my dad earl, who is hilarious. I like to post videos of him like this brilliant acceptance speech for his emmy nomination, which he didnt actually get. It is an honor to be a background teacher saying thank you to the academy for nominating both of my work, my work in live in front of a studio audience and little fires. I feel that it was probably some of my best work. Thank you. Hes a brilliant background actor. Honestly, if there was a bacademy award, he would win it. Hes the most adorable man in america and he loves to tell jokes. So when he heard i was doing my first late night monologue he said he wanted to pitch in and help out with my material because he doesnt think im that funny. So lets go to him now. Please say hello to my father, Earl Washington. Hey, dad. Hey, looking good. Thanks. Sounding great. Thank you, its your fault. I said, i love it. I love it. Dad, this is your latenight tv debut, how does it feel . You know, this is awesome. And its at a really strategic time you know, we are in such a turmoil with this plague and so, any kind of humor really, really works. And you know, some of the stuff that i do, which are bad dad jokes, are really interesting. You know why . Why. Because they sneak up on you. I mean, they really do. I mean, how do you know that its a dad joke . How . It becomes a parent. Oh. That was ridiculous. That is absolutely ridiculous. Thats good. Or, or, you know, the why does the cookie take himself to the hospital . Why . Because he felt crumby. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Some of your best dad jokes come from 610yearolds. Absolutely. But dad, dad, heres the problem. A lot of times when you are doing late night the jokes in your monologue should be centered around Current Events or politics you have any of those . I do, what is the most important progressive of water . I dont know. Aoc. Oh oh oh oh now, thats silly. Thats terrible. That is so that is terrible. That is so silly. But thats what makes it funny. I guess. Okay, you have time for one more, dad, im giving you one more. What oh, yeah. Is that mom producing you . Is mom your producer . No. No. No. No. No she just prodding me. How do vegans vote . How . Had. Kale. Election kale. I will just say, i will say, vote by kale. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Gosh. They vote by kale. Oh. They vote by kale. Oh, dad. You are amazing. I love you very much. Im so happy that you made my monologue better, so thank you for being the best dad. And you are so gracious. We have a great show four tonight. We are just getting started.

Little fires everywhere, morning show, big little lies, you have a combined 18 nominations. Like that is legal, like you are legal. That is crazy. 18 nominations, congratulations, reese. Thank you so much, i think sometimes we are the forward facing ones but you dont know theres so many people that work behind the scenes. Im so happy for my team and company, they worked so hard to get us here and its just a great, its a great thing to be able to put out stuff that you are proud of so. Go. I have worked right next to team sunshine. You have an amazing, amazing crew. So, have you decided what you are wearing on your couch at this years emmys . You know, i dont know anything about the emmys. I mean, other than, i think jimmys hosting it. But he is not here to take our questions about what its going to be. We have a lot of followup questions. Jimmy, come back from vacation. You are gorgeous. I mean this dress that you are wearing is so stunning. Im trying to reenter life in a way that works. I love it. I love i. Y are you going to gather all the kids and pets and parents and say, you have to watching me . Oh, my gosh. I guess so, yeah. I mean, its going to be sort of a different experience. Are we all going to be in our pajamas . Im definitely im eating takeout for sure. Yes, yes, yes. So, i want to talk about your amazing son he a single this summer. He released a song this summer. Its called long run and its on the spotify charts and he is the producer and we could not be prouder of him. He shot his first music video. You have to tell me. I want to post it everywhere. When you post it on instagram, i notice and i wonder if its my future. He is older than my littles. He seemed both really happy and proud that you were so proud of him, but also a little embarrassed. Oh do you often like embarrass your kids intentionally, unintentionally . Is it just my path . I say if you are not embarrassing your children, you are not spending enough time with them. Thats basically my goal. Yes, that is its your job as parents to really like, really ramp up the embarrassment. So i heard a story actually about you in the third grade which made total sense to me, because you are such an amazing badass producer and boss lady. I heard that you, this sounds like something from the bronx had going on, you had a side hustle out of your desk in the third grade, is that true . I did, i actually started my First Business other than like a Lemonade Stand was in the third grade. My brother bought banana clips at the mall. And i would personalize them with peoples names. He was like, sister, we can get great margins on this if i buy them for . 25 and we sell them for a dollar if you just put paint pens and put their names on it. And i had a whole thing going in third grade and i got shut down and i actually did not get suspended but i had to stay after school because i got paint pen all over my desk and i got in trouble for defacing school property. Oh, my goodness. But i love that even though you got in trouble, you didnt, like that spirit did not die. You stayed in that like side hustle, im going to make it happen. Im going to take over the world from my tiny desk to my 18 nominations. Oh, you know, i just always, i have always been curious and interested about business. I have always been wanting to change systems and learn how things work and so, yeah. Even when i was little. I cant turn it off either sometimes im like can i just turn it off. I have a million ideas every week too. And some of them are not that good. But thats okay. Right . Just staying in that creative mentality and being willing to take the risk. Like, you only get to success when you are willing to fail along the way. Theres yeah, and i failed, kerry. I have failed. Same, same. I have but you know what . I learned so much from every single moment and i, yeah, you just learn to be graceful through failure and you learn to take away the message. I love you so much, we can talk for a million years but we will offline and do it in our own time. Thank you for being here. Thank you for having me, and im so excited you need to do it all the time.
