S.W.A.T.'s Shemar Moore Wants You To Be His Baby Girl

What up Young Hollywood? I am here with the legend himself, Mr. Shemar Moore. What up yo?

You know, I gotta tell you something funny about the word legend. So I'm going running around town, I'm in Miami. I'm just at this stage of my career, I've been in the game 25 years. Okay. In Hollywood, you're not supposed to talk about your age, but I don't I don't give a I don't give a mess. And so I'm going through the airport and just I'm talking about this happens all the time. And so it sounds like a compliment. But I'll tell you how I interpret this thing. Yo Unc, Unc, we gotta take a picture. It makes you feel old. And I'm like, wait a minute. I'm so I'm a legend. I ain't dead, but I'm a legend. And now they call me Unc.

Now speaking of names such as Unc and things of that nature, how about Zaddy? Do you get that often? Cuz you are definitely a Zaddy. Like all day, like I'm like.

What did okay, so I I do see on social media Zaddy, but I see Daddy a lot. I get dad goals. And then I get I get these young young ladies who are like, will you marry my mom so you can be my daddy? It's a little crazy. I get, you know, my baby girl I I call my fan base my homies, my fans, and my baby girl.

Where did that come from? Baby girls?

Baby girl I've been saying, I had little Shemarisms my whole life. You know, I'm like ain't no thing but a chicken wing, like, what's up boop thing? What's up sweet thing? I love it. You know, what's up sugar tits, you know, all that. I'm a chef. Stop it right now. I said all kind of stuff. So, I I've been saying baby girl my whole life. And so it just happened to catch fire on my last show, Criminal Minds. And so Kirsten Vangsness, who played Penelope Garcia and still plays, we just started improv and the Criminal Minds producers let it they let it fly. And so I had it was it was literally season one like episode four or something like that. My character, Derek Morgan, had a phone call. I was like, uh, hey Garcia, look, I need your help. I'm looking for a white guy in a minivan age 25 to 35. Uh, let me know what you can find. That was the line, that was the dialogue. And I and I was in a silly mood that day. I was like, hey listen, listen here baby girl. Um, I need you to I need you to do what you do. I'm looking for a white guy in a minivan 25 to 35. Uh, you know, make that magic happen. But something like that, right? And we thought they were going to come running, go okay, that was cute, but can you stick to the dialogue? And they put it in the show. And then and then and then we did it again. And then all of a sudden before social media, we had like blogs and websites. The fans started writing in going, I like that baby girl thing. And then she started calling me chocolate thunder. Hey, and brown sugar, and all this other stuff. So I stuck with baby girl. And then fast forward now I've got a charity to raise money and awareness for MS. Cuz my mother's been, you know, fighting and beating multiple sclerosis for 20 years. And so now I've got this charity that gives my mama a hug and let's a lot of people out there feel like they have a voice and feel like people care. And so I don't get a not a penny. And so I'm I got this baby girl gear, uh, sweat suits, yoga pants, booty shorts, tank tops. Only for women, discriminatory.

Now, well, I mean, you know. It look like your booty can fit in some booty shorts. You know, come on now. can get it right. I'm talking. So we so first and foremost, I have to say this. Congratulations.

Thank you.

On the new season of SWAT.

Season two, baby. Dude, you were like leading man. I'm number one on the call sheet. I'm very proud of that. But I will also say that I'm smart. You are good. I I feel like I did. But I also but I'm also proud enough and and humble enough and smart enough to know that it can't just be the Shemar Moore show. I can't do it all by myself. Right. So even though I'm the lead, I'm more proud to be the leader and uh and of a very cool show that is a that is a thrill ride that is a really fun time. But if you pay attention, then this is SWAT 2017 and beyond now. 2018. What I mean by that is the movie was cool 15 years ago. It started with a TV show in the 70s. But what we're doing is trying to give you a whole bunch of fun and a whole bunch of action like you know edgy couch type of action. But if you pay attention, there's a really there's there's humanity and there's a message and topical issues, you know, from uh racial issues, Black Lives Matter, immigration issues, cyber bullying. So, and we're not we're not we're not going to preach to you. We're not going to hit you over the head. Um, we're not a political show, we're not a religious show. But what I like is I'm biracial. I'm black and I'm white. Uh, we have Latin, we have Asian, we have white. And so just the faces on the screen are diverse, but then the stories that we're that we're portraying are also very diverse. So it's not about black versus white. It's Hopefully it's just but it's just a human story. So I don't care what color you are. You'll be able to relate to what we're talking about.

I love it. Well said. Once again, congratulations on everything. So wait, what is Zaddy? What's what's the difference between Daddy and Zaddy?

Zaddy is the guy who literally made you. Daddy can be a parent. I'm not your daddy. I'm your Zaddy. Like you're a puppy. Oh, I'm a poppy. I'm a poppy too, you know. I'm a poppy lindo. I'm a po I'm done. Goodbye. I'm done.

You guys thank you so much. You're right. Thank you. Shemar, you're the best for real. I appreciate you.

Appreciate you. Much love.
