This is tom hanks. This is steven spielberg. Its crazy. Its still like a surreal fever dream that it happened. Jimmy how was meryl streep . Oh, my god. Jimmy yeah. Obviously, totally incredible. Yeah, i mean, and so gracious and wonderful and i think probably my nerves reached their height when i was on set. Before i started shooting, i was out there just for a a fitting and i had just been excited to have the role and it hadnt totally sunk in, i think, until i was just watching meryl perform a scene where shes talking about her late husband and its very dramatic, and every take is different and incredible in, like and im sitting by spielberg, and spielberg is floored. Hes like, oh my god, its meryl streep. [ laughter ] and thats when i was like, thats meryl streep. Jimmy theres a couple words you cant say on tv. Its meryl michael streep. Streep jimmy thats the word. You cant say that, yeah. [ laughter ] thank you, michael. You cant say that. Oh, sorry. Jimmy yeah, you cant say that. But she couldnt have been sweeter. She was amazing. Jimmy of course. What is the film about . Can you explain it to everybody . Yes, the film is about the historical decision made by the Washington Post to publish the pentagon papers after the New York Times received an injunction, and about meryl streep as Catherine Graham sort of coming into her own as the publisher of the Washington Post at that time. Very unique to have a woman in that position of power and so just her sort of struggling with her position and making this decision, along with her editor in chief, ben bradley, played by tom hanks. I play her daughter in the film, her loving, supportive daughter. Jimmy i want to show everyone a clip. Heres alison brie and meryl streep in the post. Take a look at this. These were your people. Mcnamara. Kennedy and johnson. Well, jack and lyndon were your fathers friends. You flew down to texas with lyndon the weekend after his convention. Oh, well, its your fault. You wanted to see his helicopter. And the instant he saw you, he invited you to the ranch. Oh, well, he just wanted the paper to endorse him. Yes, but my point is, you had steve and bill waiting at home. I know. You had house guests waiting at the farm. You had nothing but dirty clothes in your suitcase.

Everyone, please welcome, jaboukie youngwhite [ cheers and applause ] whats up . Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much, new york. Oh my god, im so happy to be back. Ive been traveling a lot recently, which has been fun, but its weird, like, ive noticed that my race changes city to city. [ light laughter ] like when im in chicago, people just think that im half black, half white. When im in new york, people think that im puerto rican. [ laughter ] but when im in cvs, everyone thinks im stealing. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] you know, its really frustrating. Because i am. [ laughter ] and i dont want them to catch me. [ laughter ] but also, like, why do you think that im stealing . I look like im in a brochure for a very expensive liberal arts school. [ laughter ] leave me alone. [ light laughter ] chapstick should be free. [ light laughter ] my favorite articles right now are all the articles of, like, older people trying to come to terms with the fact that millennials are just poor. Like the best one ive seen is, why arent millennials buying diamonds . [ laughter ] the industry is in peril. And its like one time i spent more than 40 on groceries, and my bank thought someone stole my debit card. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] like, i would love i would love to get a chain, but first i got to stop looking at salmon as a high risk investment, you know . [ laughter ] theres levels to this. Kind of feel like ever since trump won, everything i do is radical just because im a a minority. [ light laughter ] like i wake up in the morning, revolutionary. [ laughter ] i ask the cashier for a cup of water but i low key get some sprite . Anticapitalist. [ laughter ] but i feel like the election just changed in ways were just starting to realize. cause the other day, i was on the train, and i see this like mid20s white dude, like very fit, athletic, kind of fratty, professional, just hit a crack pipe and start freestyling. [ laughter ] and, like, thats a level im trying to get at, you know . [ laughter ] like chasing all my dreams at once, really. [ light laughter ] thats my goal. I can be kind of an awkward flirt sometimes. I can have a hard time flirting, just because people dont always read me as queer when they first meet me because ive been told that i can come across as masc, and if you dont know what that means, its basically just gay for, im not like other girls. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] its like a little weird, but i actually really like whiskey. [ light laughter ] so, im kind of quirky, you know . [ laughter ] im living in l. A. Right now, which is fun. I miss new york so much, but i found a way to make l. A. Fun in that im just fully trying to hook up with uber drivers. [ laughter ] and like, the other day, yall, like, i got so close. Like i got in the car, the guys cute, hes like, on where you coming from . And i was like, oh a show. And hes like, oh, what instrument do you play . And i was like, the voice. But i was like, no, i do standup or whatever, and i say, or whatever, so he knows that im humble. [ laughter ] and then he goes, oh my god, like i love standup. Ive actually written a couple jokes but im a little nervous to get on stage and try it. And i was like, oh my god, no, you seem like you have such a a natural stage presence. [ laughter ] i was like, here, just tell me a joke right now and we can work on it in the car together. And he was like, are you sure . I dont want to, like, waste your time. I was like, no, just like go for it. He was like, okay, so, me and my girlfriend [ laughter ] and i was like, needs work. [ laughter and applause ] right here is fine. You can just drop me off right now. But ultimately though, like, i think the hardest part about traveling is that you really just start to lose track of how hot you are. At a certain point because like its cliche but its true, that like a chicago hot is a new york cute. And a new york cute is an l. A. Shun. [ laughter ] because like my brothers like my brothers are l. A. Theyre both like tall, fit. They carry themselves with confidence. Im small, pale, i carry myself like an inbred european prince. [ laughter and applause ] like, i dont even really like step when i walk. I just sort of like glide everywhere that i go. You know . But i know im not ugly. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] thank you. Thank you. Like on a one to ten scale, i dont think that i could, like, model, but i could definitely end a republican senators career. You know . [ cheers and applause ] all right, thank you, guys.
