Young Hollywood

What's up, guys? Young Hollywood is back at Dodger Stadium with Clayton Kershaw for his seventh annual Ping-Pong for Purpose charity event, and all the stars have come out to support him. Last year, there were some ringers who brought their own paddles, and when they were told that no no, everyone's going to use the same paddle, they said, "We're not coming." How about that? We're at Dodger Stadium, you need a ping-pong paddle, right?

Bryan Cranston

I do. Is this what they're giving us? Ping-Pong.

Young Hollywood

No, that's actually the first annual ping-pong tournament. Oh, I see. It'll be about like that. I've interviewed you here before. How's your strategy this year?

Cody Bellinger

Well, I think I have a better partner. JT and I are playing and he is dressed to the nines. He's got his tracksuit on, he's got the shoe. He's dialed in.

Young Hollywood

Now your partner, who is it? And have you worked it out yet?

Chris Harrison

I'm with Kershaw, so it's going to be intense. I'm going to go warm up on the tables and hopefully we can get come out here with a win. Last time I I mean, I was horrible. My teammate did not like it. Let me just say that.

Bryan Cranston

My strategy is hope that every hit to me is easy and hope the hard ones go to him. I'm an actor. My like bones are soft and brittle. I've never played sports. Tabletop sports is the closest I've gotten to that, even sometimes like I hurt myself.

Young Hollywood

Are you ready? What's your strategy?

Cody Bellinger

Aggression. I'm going to just try to blow it by people. It's a lot of competition but you know, even the good ones have off days. We're really paying attention to everybody's just game. You know what I mean, focusing on ours.

Chris Harrison

My strategy is to just keep the ball on the table, keep it in play, and hope they make the mistake. Um, I got the young fellow rookie that's going to be a rookie for the Lakers, Thornton. I just met him today, so it's going to be interesting if he follows the vet's lead.

Young Hollywood

Thank you so much. Thank you so much for all you're doing for this event and uh we're helping a lot of kids, so thank you so much. Few words about Clayton Kershaw, the man, the athlete, the humanitarian.

Bryan Cranston

I'm really impressed with Ellen. Ellen really spearheaded this, brought his star power to it. The money we raised today will save, literally save the lives of young girls in all and in several different countries. And so you'll be hearing me all night on the microphone chiding people who I know have money and I'm going to try to get it out of their pockets.

Chris Harrison

There's no two better people in the world than Clayton and Ellen Kershaw. I I am so inspired by what they do with their time, with their money, with their hearts. They just make the world a better place. We're in the middle of the season. This is a massive ordeal for he and his wife to put on, so uh good on him and I will be here anytime to help.

Cody Bellinger

He's such a cool like down-to-earth guy. Easy to talk to, and really like looking out for the community and and uh with his charities and stuff. It's a great turnout. We got pretty much everybody on the team here so that just shows you how much everyone likes Kersh.

Guest

When people can come together in all these types of fields that they're in, that says a lot about unity, you know what I mean? So this is kind of something I love to do and I'll always be a part of, so I'm glad to be here. Second guest: For him to take time out of his precious schedule and try to give back to the community like he's doing is awesome.

Young Hollywood

Dodgers first team to get to 70 wins this season. First to get to 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60. So that begs the question, of first. Now, for you, the first job you've ever had?

Bryan Cranston

Chris Harrison

Young Hollywood

Bryan Cranston

Young Hollywood

Would she get a rose today or no?

Guest

When I made it, when they called me and I finally made it. Second guest: You never know. When can you really say you've made it and when do you know that you're going to keep making it?

Young Hollywood

Yeah, yeah. You never know. Field of Dreams. They're putting the stadium on that field. Yankees, White Sox are playing. Begs the question, best baseball movie of all time.
