Hey, it's Adam Hatton with Young Hollywood and we are in the lounge today with the cast from Wayne Brady, the family remix.
I'm just so proud I want to show the world my family.
The core four, quick rapid fire questions. On a movie night, what are we watching?
Uh, alone. Second guest: Alone?
Yeah. Second guest: Bridesmaids.
Um, vacation, the Ed Helms Christina Applegate version.
Good. Mr. Wayne Brady?
Oh. An old school classic history of the world part one by Mel Brooks.
Funny. If we had a dinner party and I got to invite one celebrity each, who would that celebrity be? Second guest: Beyonce.
Don't apologize. You don't even like Beyonce. Don't apologize. Cuz you weren't always for not being an early fan. Second guest: Yeah.
Oh, you weren't an early fan, but now you are. Second guest: Yeah, cuz man, you were such a fan.
I'm a huge fan, but Miley takes the cake. I'm like the resident Beyonce fan. Second guest: Yeah.
I I'd invite Cardi B. I think that'd be so much fun.
Is it you took Beyonce?
I'd invite Boling Ying.
Oh, funny. So funny. That's funny.
And I wasn't making that face because I disliked Cardi, because I I love Cardi B. It wasn't because of that. Because I was like I was just trying trying to think of what you guys would talk about. And then it was like, okay. Second guest: A lot.
Dana doing his stripper questions.
I would want to learn what like, you know.
Oh, Dana. Wait. Why do you want to learn? Why? Just the stripper moves?
Everything. It's amazing. It's the hustle. I saw her at Coachella. She was amazing. You know what I mean? I was like, I want to go and learn to dance from her.
Yeah. Dana, who would you invite?
Easy. President Barack Obama.
Work.
I would want to sit down and talk to that man. And the cool part is, a little little brag, is I've met him a few times and I've performed for him. But to have him at dinner and go, "Hey, brother to brother. I know my experience in the world, but what was it like for you? You were for eight years the most powerful man in the free world with all this stuff on your head." What's that like?
Wayne, but tell me, take me back when you performed for President Obama. The little boy in Orlando doing community theater. What was going through your mind in that moment?
I'll tell you what was dope is that little boy was on full display because I was in a bathroom in the Oval Office before we went to go perform. I couldn't tie a tie. I was in ROTC for years. I used a clip-on tie. And my stylists on my shows would tie my tie. I couldn't tie a tie. My dad never taught me to tie tie. I did not have my dad in my life. My barber, shout out to Buck. Mr. Buck. It's a wonderful man tied my tie, showed me how to tie a Windsor knot in the bathroom so that I could go out and perform for President Obama. And that was a moment that I'll never forget because it all hit me the convergence of, I just learned this life lesson from this older black man and now I get to take myself on stage and perform for this man and say thank you. And it was really cool. That little Wayne would never believe. He would never believe that he could have gotten out of Tangelo Park.
Does Mr. Buck, did you get to tell him?
Oh, yeah. But just in case I didn't, Buck, thank you. Because now, ooh, can I tie a tie? Oh my God. My tie tying game is ridiculous. I can only tie one knot, but
Okay.
It's a great knot. It's a good knot.
What's our go-to karaoke songs? Second guest: I just sit back and watch. I don't do karaoke. Sorry. We're working on it.
Okay.
I don't have a karaoke song either.
No Cardi B?
I'm afraid of holding a microphone and singing into it. She has a beautiful voice.
Um, a karaoke I sing um, Pony by Ginuwine.
Oh, that's a good one. Okay. Second guest: Easy. Just Once by James Ingram. It's an oldie, but a goodie.
And what can we expect on this uh upcoming rest of episodes from this season?
I think you can expect a lot of laughs and some drama, a lot of tears. Second guest: They cry so much. It's so cringy. Like I'll start crying and my be like, "Mom, why are you crying again?"
It's a lot of This is a They cry they cry a lot in between in the in the. Second guest: A lot of tears.
They not me though. Cuz I thug it out, but that Second guest: She thugs it out.
Thug it out? Thug it out. They cry a lot though.
Can I say your TikToks you dancing, I live for that. So good.
Thank you. They are such amazing dancers, but it's a family of people that have actually earned a living dancing. So so now we get to have fun dancing. Miley doesn't like doing the dancing TikToks with us because we like to rehearse. Second guest: It It takes too long, honestly. It takes probably like two hours to do a TikTok with the four of us dancing. And for me, I prefer a swift five minutes.
A swift five minutes. Second guest: Like get it and get out.
Yeah. And then she sends it. Second guest: Yeah, exactly.
Why people should be watching your show? Please tell us. Wayne Brady, the Family Remix. Why should you watch?
Because what you're looking at right now, this is the face of a family in America. Found family. Family that has found each other, that chooses to be together, ride or die. These are people that love each other. If you love somebody, be open and communicate. Second guest: Yep.
Yeah. Second guest: Accept each other.
And laugh. Second guest: Yeah, and have a good time.
Make good memories.
