What is coming up next?
00:02
I have a lot of different things.
00:03
I think there's, not I think, there's a Christmas movie coming this next season.
00:08
I love doing those.
00:09
So there's a Christmas movie coming with Roku, actually.
00:13
And then I have a podcast that I'm starting called What's Your Spark?
00:16
It's in the early stages.
00:18
We've got like the, I got my first episode down, looking for guests.
00:22
But it's called What's Your Spark because I want to find out what drives people.
00:25
It may be what we know people for,
00:27
or it may be something that they really haven't shared with the world yet,
00:30
but I want to know.
00:31
So it's going to be authors.
00:32
It's going to be athletes, artists, chefs, spiritual guides.
00:35
I love talking to people.
00:36
I love stories.
00:38
So I'm really excited to dive in.
00:40
Great name.
00:41
Excited.
00:41
What's your spark?
00:42
What's your really perfect?
00:43
Yes.
00:44
And then music.
00:45
I've been working on music.
00:46
I have some songs I want to release for the summer, but I can't pick.
00:49
I have a list, and I just need to bite the bullet and choose.
00:52
And then I have some music that's coming out this fall,
00:55
some collaborations that I've done that I'm really excited about.
00:58
So, yeah, just, I'm grateful to still be here.
01:01
Yes.
01:02
We need that music.
01:04
There's no summer song yet.
01:06
So we need that.
01:06
Right.
01:07
I'm, you know, I'm coming.
01:08
I'm trying.
01:09
I'm trying.
01:10
I hope people will like it because I, you know,
01:12
I do a little bit of everything, like all my genre bending.
01:15
So I'm like, okay, I've got pop.
01:16
I've got R&B.
01:17
I've got pop R&B.
01:18
And I'm like, where am I going to go?
01:20
But maybe I'll just put a couple of them out at the same time.
01:22
Let the people decide, you know?
01:24
Yes.
01:25
Speaking of summer, we've also been asking,
01:27
what's the summer blockbuster that you can't wait to see?
01:30
Oh, you know what?
01:31
Lilo and Stitch got me.
01:32
It was so good.
01:34
It was so good.
01:35
Because, you know, sometimes when they remake them,
01:37
sometimes they go a little left or they change a lot.
01:39
But they really stayed true to the original story.
01:42
And the people that they cast were perfect.
01:44
I also am really looking forward to seeing How to Train Your Dragon.
01:48
I'm such a kid.
01:48
I am such a child.
01:50
You're not the first person.
01:51
How to Train Your Dragon.
01:52
I do want to see L.E.O., that other one with the kid in space.
01:55
I think that will be fun, too.
01:56
And I'm trying to think of the next.
01:57
I do want to see Wicked.
01:59
I want to see the second one.
02:00
I haven't even seen the first one yet.
02:01
But I want...
02:02
Wait, Jordan, you got to explain.
02:04
I have a seven-year-old.
02:05
I don't have three hours.
02:06
I don't have three hours to just sit and watch.
02:09
But if I were to ever go back to Broadway,
02:12
that's the show that I would want to do.
02:14
So I'm like, paint me green, please.
02:16
Please.
02:17
Did we audition?
02:19
I did.
02:20
Yes, yes.
02:21
I auditioned for Elphaba.
02:22
Yes.
02:23
It was such a cool experience.
02:24
I was just so grateful to even be considered,
02:27
like, to even do the thing.
02:28
But I'm so excited to watch it.
02:30
I love the music already.
02:31
I already know all the music.
02:32
So I'm like, I can't wait to see it.
02:33
And I love Ariana.
02:34
That's my girl.
02:35
And I love Cynthia.
02:36
So, I mean, I know they absolutely killed it.
02:38
So I'm excited to see both of those.
02:40
And there was one other movie, and now I can't.
02:44
Oh, Sinners.
02:45
I'm late.
02:46
No, that was me.
02:47
I still haven't seen it yet.
02:49
But I saw the preview before it came out.
02:50
I was like, babe, we have to see this.
02:51
And then everything was sold out.
02:52
And I was like, we'll see it eventually.
02:55
Eventually.
02:55
I just bought it now.
02:57
Yes.
02:57
You can buy it.
02:58
Oh, man, I missed it.
02:59
I got to find a big screen to put it on.
03:01
You know, it'll be good.
03:01
It'll be good.
03:02
But, yeah, I'm fine.
03:04
It's okay.
03:06
Valencia would have asked.
03:07
We have four ultimate icons being honored tonight.
03:10
Mariah, Jamie, Kirk, Snoop.
03:12
Who is the one you had planned around your?
03:15
Well, I am a lamb.
03:17
Mariah is everything.
03:20
So I'm very excited to see her get honored.
03:22
And also Kirk.
03:23
Kirk has been in.
03:24
I have sang Kirk Franklin's song since I was teeny tiny.
03:28
And I think he's such a great person.
03:30
He's so fun.
03:31
And I love the way that he, like, opens doors for everybody coming up.
03:35
Like, I'm excited to see him get his flowers tonight.
03:37
He deserves it.
03:38
Yeah.
