YOU'LL BE THE VALEDICTORIAN. >> YEAH. >> Jimmy: NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS. [ APPLAUSE ] >> Jimmy: TELL ME ABOUT THIS IDEA THAT YOU ARE THE EXECUTIVE PRODUCER OF THIS MOVIE. HOW DID THAT HAPPEN? >> WELL, LONG STORY SHORT, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOUR PARENTS TELL YOU ALL THESE THINGS ABOUT WHAT THEIR FAVORITE MOVIES WERE GROWING UP, ONE OF THEM WAS "BIG" STARRING TOM HANKS. I WAS WATCHING IT AND I WAS LIKE, WHAT IF WE DO THIS IN A MODERN PERSPECTIVE. GIVE IT A FRESH TAKE AND HAVE IT MORE OUR TIME, HAVE A FEMALE, EMPOWERMENT, ALL BLACK-WOMEN CAST. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] >> Jimmy: YOU ALSO, YOU SWITCHED THE IDEA FROM, FROM AN ADULT TURNING INTO A KID TO A KID TURNING INTO AN ADULT, RIGHT? >> YEAH. >> Jimmy: WHICH FOR YOU IT MUST NOT HAVE BEEN HARD FOR YOU TO PLAY AN ADULT BASE YOECAUSE YOU ALMOST AN ADULT YOURSELF. >> YEAH, THE CHARACTER WAS KIND OF MADE FOR ME. >> Jimmy: YEAH, BY YOU FOR YOU.

SO YOU HAVE A WHOLE FLOOR OR SOMETHING? >> NOT A WHOLE FLOOR. BUT IT'S LIKE IN A HIDDEN PLACE WHERE NOBODY KNOWS WHERE WE ARE. >> Jimmy: HOW MANY EMPLOYEES DO YOU HAVE? >> I THINK ABOUT SIX OR SEVEN. >> Jimmy: DO YOU HIRE THESE PEOPLE? >> NOT JUST ME. IT'S MY PARENTS, TOO. >> Jimmy: SO YOUR PARENTS ARE INVOLVED. >> YEAH, EVEN THOUGH I'M THE BOSS, I'M THEIR BOSS. BUT THEY'RE STILL MY PARENTS, SO, YOU KNOW, I CAN'T DO THAT. >> Jimmy: THEY STILL GIVE YOU ALLOWANCE, OR DO YOU GIVE THEM ALLOWANCE, OR HOW DOES THAT GO? >> NO. IT'S EVERYONE'S MONEY, I GUESS, BUT I'M MAKING IT. IF THAT MAKES SENSE. I DON'T KNOW. WE WORK AS A FAMILY, SO IT'S PRETTY COOL. >> Jimmy: WHAT POSITION, SO YOU'RE THE CEO. >> E' I'M THE CEO. DAD'S THE PRESIDENT, MOM'S VICE PRESIDENT. >> Jimmy: HOW DID YOU DECIDE DAD WOULD BE PRESIDENT AND MOM'S VICE PRESIDENT? >> I DON'T KNOW. >> Jimmy: DAD RAISED HIS HAND FIRST? >> I DON'T THINK IT WAS LIKE THAT, BUT IT MAKES SENSE. JOI . >> Jimmy: WHAT WAS HE DOING BEFORE HE DID THIS? >> HE WORKED IN FINANCING IN A CAR DEALERSHIP. >> Jimmy: DO YOU EVER THREATEN TO FIRE HIM OR SAY, A LITTLE LATE COMING IN THIS MORNING? >> NO, IF I EVER DID THAT, I DON'T KNOW WHAT WOULD HAPPEN NEXT. >> Jimmy: YOU GOT TO START ASSERTING YOURSELF.

THAT WOULD BE COOL. >> Jimmy: YEAH. >> A LONG TIME FRIEND OF MINE, NAMED ANTHONY ANDERSON. >> Jimmy: PLAYS YOUR DAD ON ""BLACK-ISH."" >> YEAH, PROMISED ME THAT HE'D BUY ME A CAR. JOI >> Jimmy: WHEN? >> A LONG TIME AGO, BUT HE KEEPS HIS PROMISES. >> Jimmy: LIKE FOREVER? DID HE PROMISE ANYBODY ELSE ON THE SHOW A CAR? >> NO. >> Jimmy: LET'S RECREATE THE SCENARIO IN WHICH HE PROMISED TO BUY YOU A CAR. WHAT DID HE SAY EXACTLY. IF YOU COME OUT OF YOUR TRAILER? IF YOU STOP KICKING THE BALL? >> IT WAS A GENERAL PROMISE. I WAS ABOUT 10 OR 9 AT THE TIME. >> Jimmy: MM-HM. WHAT KIND OF CAR DO YOU WANT HIM TO BUY YOU. >> OKAY, SO WHEN I WAS, OKAY, SO IT I'VE REALLY BEEN THINKING ABOUT THIS, GUYS. WHEN I WAS 9 OR 10 I WANTED A HOT PINK CHALLENGER, BUT NOW THAT'S WHACK. I WANT A MATTE PURPLE TESLA. >> Jimmy: WHICH MODEL TESLA? >> THE NEWEST ONE. I DON'T KNOW. >> Jimmy: HE'S NOT GETTING YOU THAT. HE'S NOT GOING TO GET YOU THAT. >> I KNOW. >> Jimmy: I JUST KNOW HE ISN'T. >> I COULD GET IT MYSELF, THOUGH, TOO. BUT A PROMISE IS A PROMISE. >> Jimmy: HONESTLY, WHAT I WOULD DO IN THIS SITUATION. I WOULD SUE HIM. I'D TELL HIM, LIKE LISTEN. DID HE TELL YOU HOW OLD YOU'D BE WHEN HE'D BUY YOU THE CAR? >> NO, JUST WHEN I'M ABLE TO. >> Jimmy: CHANGE THE STORY A LITTLE BIT. YOU SAID ON THE DAY I TURNED 16 YOU WOULD BUY ME A CAR, AND THEN, OF MY CHOICE, AND DON'T LET HIM BUY YOU A TOY CAR OR A BARBIE CAR OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. TECHNICALITIES CAN REALLY GET YOU. YOU SAY I RELIED ON YOU BUYING ME A CAR. WITHOUT A CAR, I AM UNABLE TO GET TO CHICK FIL A. WITHOUT GETTING TO CHICK FIL A, I AM UNABLE TO ENJOY THE QUALITY OF MY LIFE. THEREFORE, YOU, MY TV DAD, ARE BE BE BEING SERVED. AND THEN YOU TOUCH HIM WITH THE PAPER, THE LAWSUIT. >> OKAY. >> Jimmy: HE'S GOING TO HAVE TO LEARN THAT IF HE PROMISES YOU A CAR HE'S GOING TO HAVE TO GET YOU A CAR. >> HE'S GOING TO HAVE TO. >> Jimmy: OR THE LAW'S GOING TO KICK HIM RIGHT IN THE ASS, PARDON MY FRENCH. >> YEAH, I GET IT. >> Jimmy: I FEEL LIKE I'M TEACHING YOU HOW TO BE A CEO. >> YOU ARE. THANK YOU FOR THIS. >> Jimmy: ANYTHING ELSE I CAN HELP YOU WITH? >> UM, I THINK I'M GOOD. AM I GOOD? >> YEAH. >> Jimmy: YOU GOT TO GET A GUILLERMO, TOO. THAT'S ANOTHER TIP I WILL GIVE YOU. THANK YOU FOR COMING. >> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME. >> Jimmy: I'M SO IMPRESSED BY
