Summary

I’m revisiting two dinners with people I absolutely adore who have been mainstays on network television for roughly a decade: Jim Parsons of “The Big Bang Theory” and Tracee Ellis Ross of “Black-ish.” First up… star of stage and screen Jim Parsons joins me at Don Angie in NYC's West Village. Over some gorgeous lasagna, we discuss queer visibility in television and film, "The Big Bang Theory" pilot that never was and why "Spoiler Alert" is such a special film. Also… actor and fashion icon Tracee Ellis Ross chats with me over tacos and nachos at The Roof, a restaurant at the top of The West Hollywood EDITION. We dish about her final days of "Black-ish," her mother’s iconic 75th birthday, and who makes her starstruck. A Sony Music Entertainment & A Kid Named Beckett production.

0:08.3	I'm not sure where he gets that from. It's me. It's definitely me. But he was getting really upset about the seeds falling into the juice and it was turning into a bit of high drama.
0:18.4	Now listen, there's an easier way to do this. Who knew? Wonderful
0:22.6	seedless lemons are a 100% naturally seedless lemon variety. They're juicy, zesty, bright,

0:34.0	lemonade or Diet Coke or getting caught in your teeth when you take a bite of
0:37.9	salad. Frankly, that's just a hazard. Wonderful seedless lemons are available nationwide at

1:24.5	TV. My interview with Jim showcases some of my favorite things about him, his humility,
1:31.0	his sweetness, and his openness.
1:34.0	And Tracy is, of course, a legend.
1:36.3	She is someone who continually inspires me with her joyous approach to life and also
