Didnt want to be associated with a drive by. But this was fun. My friends and family shouted muffled happy birthdays from their cars while wearing festive masks. It was like my own personal version of the masked singer. Who is that, my mama or chaka khan . And this was an extra special birthday for me, because on friday, i got a star on the hollywood walk of fame. Of course, they say you dont really have a star on the walk of fame until someone dressed as elmo throws up on it. And that happened on tuesday i cant wait to take my grandkids to hollywood boulevard someday and say see where that meth head is break dancing . Thats right on top of your grand daddys name i need all the victories i can get right now, because next month theres a pretty good chance theyre gonna give my emmy away to someone else again. Im nominated for lead actor in a comedy series, and these are the odds for my category. Im the least favored to win. And look, its great to be nominated and all, but the truth is i dont do this for the awards. I do it for the money. Ive been nominated for my role on blackish six years in a row. Havent won. Im 0 for 6. That means ive had my same acceptance speech. This acceptance speech in my pocket, for six long years, since september of 2015. And now its time for america to finally hear it. Guillermo . Announce me. Group ju guillermo just a second and the emmy goes to mr. Anthony anderson what . We did it we did it we did did, mama, we won, oh, my god. I have so many people to thank. God, the academy, all my followers on vine. Shout out to my fellow toys r us shareholders. This year is gonna be huge i will never take this honor for granted because who knows . One day we may not be able to do the things we love with the people we love. One day we may not be able to gather in large crowds like this or get within six feet of each other without a mask. I cant think of any reason why that would happen, im just saying. I am so proud to be an american. We have elected a black president twice. Now im getting this award. So yeah, racism is pretty much solved. Were good now. Winning this means the world to me. I would hate to be one of those guys who just kept getting nominated year after year, over and over, until he becomes a joke and its just sad. But here i am and if i can win an emmy, anything is possible. Like the words of a great song, by an even greater artist. I believe i can fly i believe know what i should probably update this before the emmys. Okay, now for something fun and helpful. Since you cant really go to a restaurant right now, a lot of people are signing up for those Meal Delivery services. And im getting in on the action, with a delicious and nutritious new business venture. These days were all doing a lot less eating out and a lot more cooking at hope. But it can be hard to find a delivery at home business, until now. The only meal difficultry service that gives you the ingredient Anthony Anderson was able to find in the back of his pantry. I checked the expiration dates myself. Every week, you will find a box of ingredients that he purchased sometime in the bush. Hoke hearts n delivered to your ricearoni. From 2007. Legally speaking, its still good. And each box comes with a recipe card, giving you detailed instructions on how to use those ingredients to cook the perfect meal. People always ask me, is this really a meal service or just a way to sell weird crap in my cupboard. To me, i say shut up and eat your [ bleep ] lentils. Mama we got another box ready Anthony Andersons back of the pantry meal service. What are you going to do . Go to a store . What will i think of next .

Hmm, you are pathetic. Ive got to call my parents. Thank you. Mom, yeah. I know. This big project just got a lot bigger than i thought. Fearless is currently available on netflix. Please welcome yara shahidi. Oh, my baby, my baby hi yara, so lets get straight to it. How have you been spending your quarantine time . Whats been going on with you and the family . Its been pretty chill. We usually dont leave our house very often. I think it was five months in epped his foot in a store with a mask on. Taking it extremely seriously but keeping it a little fun. Mamas birthday was yesterday, so trying to be a little creative. Speaking of birthdays, you are surrounded by leos, your mother being one, myself, be another, kenya barris being another, and marseille being another and launwrence being another. Thats five leos in your life that youre around on a daily basis. What did you do for your mothers birthday this past week . Well, we kept it a little chill, you know, work has been nonstop, as i know its been for you. And so we went to the beach and did a very sociallydistant workout as on beautifulite dessert. We had favorite ice cream flown in from hawaii that she hasnt had in years and her favorite cupcakes. One of our dear friends makes the best cupcakes and made them especially for her birthday. So a lot of food. Okay. Thats all fine and good. Ahoh. I have a slightss yodi all of that, but yet you couldnt come to hollywood boulevard for your tv daddys star on the walk of fame . And if that was going to be too hectic, you couldnt do a drive by to my 50th drive by Birthday Celebration at my house . You live in the foothills of the foothills, and you went all the way to the beach to play in the sand with your mama and her friends and melted ice cream from hawaii. Okay. First and foremost, we celebrated from a distance your star. Ive not been in the hollywood vicinity, im a little offended. I dont remember receiving a drive by invite. I have the receipts. I will go to my phone and pull up the receipts where you asked me for your address so you can come by, and i sent an address to you. I asked you for your address to send you a gift. It wasnt related to a drive by. Okay. And i still havent received said gift in the mail. Why is that . Thank you, usps. Oh. Okay. All right, im still proud of you. So at 20 years old, you are a student at harvard university. You are the star of your own television show. And youve launched your own company, and you have a deal at disney, an overall deal at disney now. How do you manage it all . With an Incredible Team of folks. I have the best support network. I mean, you know my whole family, and i think we operate very similarly, just always having our families involved in every step of the process. But i think fortunately ive been surrounded by people who encourage me to do it all. I remember thinking back to even first season of blackish. I was telling this forstory the other day. I remember how well come i felt in the blackish producer sections with you. I dont care if i dont get this because i had the best time. I was so happy with the experience itself. What it spoke to was my first days on set, everyone supporting how to figure out the balance of my education and this show and every other passion ive had has always been encouraged by everyone. So thank you for that. Oh, my pleasure. And thank you for blessing me with your talent. Now i want to bring up something from the past. My reallife son took my reallife tv daughter to his prom. How was that experience hanging out with my son nate, and how did that come about . I realize it doesnt sound right as i explain it and you position us as tv brothers and sisters, but he played our tv cousin in season one of blackish, and i think we all became pretty much instant friends sdlout throughout the years. When it came time for his prom, i got to join him. Those were the u to celebrate. But we had such a good time. He asked me actually at one of the blackish events. And his entire friend group ive known for the past couple years too. He hangs out with other people. I was looking forward to paying for my reallife tv da and my tv son. You dont have a drivers license. Everybody thinks i promised every kid on blackish a car. That is not true. I only no, no, did i promise you a car, too . Yes. Ive really, honestly been waiting on the car. Really . Huh . Whats that, huh, nasa . Well be right back with cori bush. Were coming up to you right now. I got you. Nasa.

Our next guests life story is truly remarkable. It includes chapters on homelessness, nursing, pastoring, activism, and now candidacy for the u. S. House of representatives. A few weeks back, she defeated a 10term incumbent in the primary, after defeating covid19. Please welcome the democratic nominee from missouris first congressional district, cori bush. Woo all right, cori, congratulations on your huge victory, not unlike the upset victory that the trail blazers had over the lakers this, earlier this week. Now tell me about this. What was Election Night like for you, since you are, or you were the underdog. You unseated or you beat a tenterm incumbent, and this seat has been held from 1968 up until now by two people. A father and a son. Tell me, how were you able to do this, and how did you feel with this accomplishment . Let me just say, it was no small thing, but we believed, like in my heart i believed i could do it. The team believed we could do it, but, you know, with all the adversity we kept going, youre the underdog, you dont have an. Oh, youre a black woman, oh, you have dark skin, oh, you have braids. The day of the election i felt in my heart i was going to win this. Im a nurse, ive gone through my covid experience. People know who i am. Let me say, when we made it back to the office, i was out, you know, just talking to people at the polls. The excitement was there, so when i made it back, people were already gathering. The press and everybody. So i hopped out the van and the deejay was like playing music, so im ready, you know, im like, okay, lets dance. Were just having a ball outside e, a sudden team what . Tofhe called the race for the incumbent, and im like, its 1 reporting, like i was crushed. So i said okay, im just going to turn on, im not going to look at my phone, im going to turn on my ipad and go and watch a movie. So im trying to watch a movie, and all of a sudden theres this notification i was in the lead. Okay, wait, wait, wait, everybody stop. Then i peeked up again, and all i saw was cori defeats. And i was like somebody verify this. Im like, okay, i got to what happened . You are so st. Louis. Im so st. Louis, yes. Your campaign, you were fighting and battling covid19. How were you able to campaign from a hospital bed while battling this disease . And running for office . You know, it was, it was really a mind thing, because i couldnt breathe, like breathing was, you know, every second of the day, like every breath i had to, you know, force an inhale and an exhale. And as a nurse, it was like oh, my gosh, i just felt like i knew what this could mean. And i couldnt sleep, you know, but my team kept fighting. So they would call me, and they would try to only come at me with a bunch of things at once so i wouldnt have to talk a lot throughout the day. Thats how we managed on the really, really bad days. Im on a bed, on a live stream, only audio, youre not going to see what my hair looks like, you know, it was just really, you know, and im talking like this. And theyre like, you know what . You sound terrible, get off the live stream. We need to call an ambulance. But the team is amazing, and we kept going. I was not going to let, look, i was not going to let covid19 or the symptoms of it stop me from reaching this goal because i felt like i cant breathe right now, but its temporary. But my people in this district, we havent been able to breathe for a long time, and we wont be able to breathe with all of our struggles unless somebody steps up that really cares. All right, im not going to say if elected, when elected, what is the number one issue for you . What are you going to do in office . So, number one issue is equity. Thats going to affect everything. Its going to be racial equity, economic equity, making sure our people are connected with the health care they need, come being in the door i need some covid19 relief. This community is hurting so bad. You know, we got high homicide and, you know, its time out for that. Im tired of surviving st. Louis. Its time for us to live. Like i said, murphy lee said at that best. Im so st. Louising tpli doe ic that. Yes, you are. Yes, you are. And to all the beautiful brown sisters out there with tattoos, with braids, you represent them well, congratulations, i cant wait for you to get into office, and well be right back. Cheetos has popcorn now . Hey, im going to need you to. Never mind. You cant touch this. Help you cant touch this. You cant touch this. You cant touch this. I trust you. Stop hammer time.
