Its everywhere. Youre winning awards, not only from every fashion magazine and and magazine, but also customers like it . Im so thrilled [ laughter ] its not easy to start a a business. Its intimidating and its scary, but i think if youre wellintended and you work hard enough, you know, good things can happen. I think flower beauty is honestly like barrymore wines is a passion and its im very passionate about it. Im not an oenophile. I talk like a valley girl. Can you imagine, like, winemakers are like, oh, no. This girl. [ light laughter ] shes making wine. I get it. Im a im a wine producer, its a side job, but for me the beauty business is a real lesson in, like, if you have a a dream and you work hard enough, things can be possible. Because it was an upstart, and and we started with nothing. Jimmy i dont know if anyone understands, like, how much work goes into it too, because you travel all around with your its a its a team of people. We go all over the world for it and were about to launch in mexico, which im so excited about, and weve just you know, we started it six years ago, and were were still going. Which is amazing. Its a its a blessing. Jimmy this has just landed in korea, you said youre getting into masks now, flowers . Weve been doing a lot of skin care research.

[ light laughter ] jimmy yeah, i got im on im on snapface and everything im on netflix. Jimmy im on snapface. Right . Thats cool. Jimmy yeah, im totally young and cool. You know what, i admire netflix because nan and i, your wife, as we produced all of our films together, we really always wanted we never made an rrated movie. We wanted an allages party. We wanted to make people feel like they were ingratiated. And we made this story for them, and it was sort of, you know, all age neutral without watering it down for any generation, and i think netflix is really the epitome of that right now. Like grannies and teens alike are thinking this is cool, and yet theyre happy each other thinks its cool. Jimmy the idea is so youre well can i . I dont want to spoil anything. Do it. Jimmy really . Yeah. Jimmy you eat people. I do. Jimmy okay thats [ laughter ] and when i got the script i was like yeah. Thats the mood im in. [ laughter ] so [ applause ] and jimmy i really understand what youre talking about. Yeah. Yeah, i know you do jimmy your like ah, just sometimes and yet, i want things to have heart and be likable and enjoyable, like the world is a a tough place, and to have a a little escapism and entertainment is crucial. Jimmy its good. Its funny and its tricky, and its good. But also, its in suburbia, and then all of a sudden, youre just like, gnawing on an arm. Totally. [ light laughter ] jimmy but its only netflix can do it, and only you can pull this off. Its so good. I have a clip, heres Drew Barrymore in Santa Clarita diet.

[ cheers and applause ] jimmy our next guest is an emmy and peabody awardwinning journalist who has spent over 50 years covering the news. His new dateline nbc special, tom brokaw at nbc news the first 50 years airs this sunday at 9 00 p. M. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the one and only tom brokaw. [ cheers and applause ] yeah hes 50 yeah hes 50 yeah hes 50 yeah listen, i want to Say Something at the beginning. I wanted to do the lipstick deal, but ive got an exclusive with revlon.

[ light laughter ] i love when you come on the show. You know i love you. Every time i run into you i love you. And i say weve been friends for a a long time. Jimmy its just anytime youre around, and want to come in. Any time. If you want to come host the show, you can come host the show. You are nbc royalty. You are royalty to america. We love you and thank you for stopping by. [ cheers and applause ] i love you. I love having you on. Have you been on the have you been on every tonight show or, no . Just johnny . Yeah, well, i did johnny three times. I did jay several times. Jimmy yeah . Yeah. I didnt do the earlier jack paar shows but i was a big fan of them. Johnny and i grew up 40 miles apart. He grew up in norfolk, nebraska. I grew up just up the road in yankton, south dakota. It came up on the air one time and he said, but i think im a a little older than you. I made the mistake of saying, god, i hope so. I got a big laugh. [ light laughter ] got a big laugh, but i said, but you got a few more dollars than i do, john. It got another big laugh, now i know im in trouble. [ laughter ] then he waits for the laughter to die down and he looks at me and says, i hope so. [ laughter ] jimmy yeah, he knew he had to ride out that laugh. I want to get into politics and ask you, whats your take on everything, because now were a a week into trump presidency. How is it going so far, according to you . Well, i think it depends on your point of view. From their point of view they think its going very well. This is what he was elected to do. Everybody has to remember that. He didnt say he was gonna do something differently. I do think that in the Republican Party when in the hill, they thought he would make what they call a pivot and be a little more president ial. But what he has done is extended his campaign, because he thinks it rightly connects him to that Core Support Group that he had out there who said, go to washington, and drain the swamp, and return the power to the people. And thats what hes determined to do. Now, being in the white house is a lot harder than most people realize and i think what were seeing is that from day to day and even within a day, theyre changing a lot of the positions because they get a a lot of blowback when they Say Something, and you sit down in the oval office and stuff starts coming in over the door, and through the window, and under the rug. And theres a lot of things to deal with. Say, for example, putting tariffs on mexican goods. That started in the morning. Then in the middle of the day, there was a little maybe not. And by the end of the day, were in a fullblown economic war with mexico, at this point. And its one of our biggest trading partners. And the fact is, you know, theyve got some ammo on this regard. Jimmy yeah, really interesting. So its tough. But its from a press point of view. Its fascinating. Theyve declared war on us. Made it clear, the media, they think is the opposition party. I think thats not just a a tactic, i think its a a strategy. Its how they keep their supporters in line, because theyre angry with us. They think weve betrayed what it is that we should be doing. We have to stay cool. We have to do our job. Not get in some kind of an ideological war with them or a a yeah, yeah, yeah war. Its when he says on thursday that the cia releasing the statements that they did were like nazis. And then on saturday he says, when he goes to the cia, no one loves the cia more than i do. Well, its our obligation to say, thursday he said this. Saturday he said that. Showing the crowds at the inauguration. We took aerial views. We did this on a routinely the kind of thing we do every inauguration. Heres the big crowd. Or heres a slightly smaller crowd. Hes crazed by the idea that he didnt have a bigger crowd than obama did. Hes asking everybody in government jimmy hes obsessed with it to prove it to him. Jimmy why is he so obsessed with this . Theres other things to worry about. Its who he is. He has to be look how he builds his buildings. It has to be bigger than anybody down the street. He has to put the t on everything thats going on. Thats got him to where he is. Jimmy right. People like that about him. But at some point, i know that republicans on the hill and even in his staff are saying, weve got to move on. Weve got to move on and deal with the real problems. So its going to be rock n roll for a while. Jimmy yeah. What do you think about the whole fake news thing, or its very troubling. Ive been saying for some time that i think the big game changer, in our business, and in america altogether, is social media. Stuff comes over the screen, we dont know where it comes from, but its very sophisticated. You know, theyre very clever, the people who doing it and a a lot of them have a mission in mind, which is to disrupt whatevers going on. And not just on the right, but also on the left. There are people out there who are spinning stories, theyre trying to get you to believe what theyre saying, and so my advice to consumers is, jimmy, that you got to look at something and apply the same test to it that you would to a a flat screen television. Am i going to buy that one or this one or that one . And see what you can trust after a while. Theres a lot of effort out going on now coming in from god knows where, to try to in effect, really become a a saboteur of the truth. And thats troubling in a free society. Jimmy wow. I was watching this special, that first 50 years, and all the stuff youve seen and lived through, through nixon, 9 11, the berlin wall. Fascinating especially to see. What have you learned or what do you take away from all this . Is there anything that you one of the things i take away is that the world is constantly in motion, and then when i first started in television news, was nbc in 1966, the principle opponent we had in the world was the soviet union. The world was really divided between the soviet influence and the west influenced by america. And china was a blank spot on the map in those days. It was, mao had a dark, dark country. I went to china when he was still running the place. And everybody was in blue. They wouldnt talk to you about what was going on. And then the soviet union started to come apart, because couldnt sustain their way of living, and its no longer the soviet union. Its now a collection of former satellites. Vladimir putin would like to put it back together again. China, on the other hand, is absolutely fascinating. Look how far they have come just in the last 50 years that i have been covering stories. The big test for china is this. They have 100 Million People in the next 10 years moving into cities. They all want cars. They want utilities. They want housing. And china wants to keep political control over them, but expand the economy so they can accommodate all that. Thats a historic challenge, it seems to me, and its, in a lot of ways, very exciting to watch. So we have to keep our eye on them. Putin, you know, donald trump is going to be talking to him. Thinks hes got kind of a a friend in him. It seems to me that putins only interests is to advance his interests. Not ours. Jimmy and how about what about our country . Anything . Are we going to be okay . [ laughter and applause ] please tell me. Well,i know. Actually, i was just thinking about that. Back when i was doing this, when i was doing this twohour special, thats the question everybody kept coming oprah said, are we going to be okay . [ laughter ] jimmy yeah, im glad asked the same question as oprah. And the fact is were going to be okay. Were a very strong country. The fact is that everybody that i ask, like bill gates, or warren buffett, or others who are out there. And they would say, look, were still a great country. Weve got so many more resources than anybody else. We have more people in college than weve ever had before. The biggest challenge, i think, in the country is, how do we get everybody back together . Theres a lot of uneasiness. And the way to work through it is to listen to both sides and say, how do we find Common Ground . And i i wish wed see more of that. Jimmy all right. Heres to Common Ground. [ cheers and applause ] lets get it. I want to see more of you. I love you. Tom brokaw, everyone. Tom brokaw at nbc news the first 50 years airs this sunday at 9 00 p. M.
