Today

Versus Back in the Day

Oh, I think I have some really good questions today Wow! Very excited. Set the bar high! Yes, I am. Wait, hold on, Alexis, does that mean they're going to be good or does that mean they're going to be boring like, oh, these are so cool, but they're not? Okay, we know. Listen, listen, all of the questions today in the game show that pits the generations against each other are based on current things that are happening.

Oh, current, like right now. We're going to rewind a little bit. Like, we're going to start with Wicked because we are so excited for the new movie to come out. I am really excited. I have tickets to go see you. Do you? Yes. It's going to be so good. And it's been all over the headlines, especially did you see Ariana Grande get grabbed

by that crazy fan and then Cynthia jumps in and saves her?

Yes, if you haven't seen the video, people listening.

Yeah, it's funny because she's like in between two people and one lady kind of like shifts away, but I'm sorry, what's her name? Cynthia Arrivo. Cynthia is like going towards the guy like back off. It's really cool. It's really amazing. She gets them before the bodyguards get to them. Totally. It's wild. But in all of the crazy headlines and in all the excitement, we're going to step back and remember the first singer turned actor to star in a Wizard of Oz spin-off.

Oh.

He's on down, he's on down the road.

That's right.

I don't know.

Mama, I would be so proud.

What?

What is that?

I'm talking about Michael Jackson as the scarecrow in the whiz.

Michael Jackson. Oh, yeah. Wow. You guys don't know the Whiz? And Diana Ross played Dorothy? I didn't know any of this. Richard Pryor was the Whiz. Oh, that would have been awesome. Was he funny? Was he able to tell jokes? You got to go watch it. It was like a total flop.

It was the Broadway play that got turned into a movie. And when it came out, it was like the most expensive, like, conversion that had ever happened. But it totally flopped at the box office. But it's been a cult classic sense. So it's like better now almost. Got it, got it. Yeah. And it's wild because Michael Jackson, it's really, it was before any of his first solo albums.

He's only 19 years old when he films this, right? Oh, wow. Okay. Way back. This is before I was even born. It was like 1978 that this came out, okay? Or it was filmed, I think, in 78. Okay. And- I can't wait. I hear him as a scarecrow, if I only had a bright knock. It's so good. I love to see it.

You've got to watch it. Okay. And I can't wait. I can hear him as a scarecrow. If I only had a bright, nah.

It's so good.

It's so good.

I love to see it.
