OUR GUEST TONIGHT IS AN EMMY NOMINATED ACTOR, WRITER AND

PRODUCER AND GENIUS, OUR FRIEND ONE OF MY FAVORITE PEOPLE ON

PLANET EARTH, MR. DAN DAN IS HERE TONIGHT!

RELATIVELY SPEAKING, ALL THINGS CONSIDERED, I AM WELL.

I HAVE A ROOF OVER MY HEAD, FOOD ON MY TABLE AND I'M DOING ALL

>> James: I'M A LITTLE ANNO IT BY HOW GOOD YOU'RE LOOKING

>> HAD I KNOWN YOU WERE GOING TO DO A FULL SUIT AND TIE, I WOULD

>> James: I'M NOT ONLY TALKING ABOUT THE ATTIRE.

MY ONLY THOUGHT GOING INTO THIS IS WHAT IS DAN'S HAIR GOING TO

LOOK LIKE DURING OUR SESSION AND HERE IT IS, IT LOOKS INCREDIBLE.

>> LET ME JUST SPECIFY, THAT THIS IS NOT WHAT MY HAIR LOOKS

I WORKED ON IT TWO AND A HALF HOURS AND I DO FEEL LIKE, IN

THESE TIMES, TALKING TO YOU, USUALLY THERE IS A WONDERFUL

TEAM OF PEOPLE WHO HELP YOU THROUGH THIS PROCESS.

I HAD, LIKE, A HAIR DRIER OUT, I HAD ABOUT THREE DIFFERENT

I'M OUTSIDE TANNING JUST SO I CAN TRY TO COVER UP THE BAGS

PEOPLE WOULDN'T KNOW THIS, THIS IS ME DURING THE AD BREAK.

NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE, AND HONESTLY, LOVING IT.

>> I NEED A PAPER TOWEL TO BLOCK MY FOREHEAD.

>> James: NOW, YOU HAVE HAD QUITE AN EXTRAORDINARY WEEK IN

TERMS OF YOU FINISHED YOUR SHOW, YOU FINISHED IT AND I TOLD YOU

PERSONALLY HOW MUCH I TRULY ENJOYED THE LAST EPISODE OF THAT

SHOW, AND THAT'S NOT AN EASY THING TO DO TO GET THE FINALE

>> YOU KNOW, IT'S BEEN SURPRISINGLY EMOTIONAL.

I THINK, YOU KNOW, I -- WE, WHEN I WAS WRITING THE SHOW, I WAS,

YOU KNOW, EMOTIONAL WRITING THE GOODBYES, THEN YOU SHOOT THE

GOODBYES AND YOU EDIT THE GOODBYES AND AT THAT POINT I

THOUGHT THAT'S THREE DIFFERENT GOODBYES THAT I'VE NOW GOT IT

AND I WAS DOING REALLY WELL UP UNTIL MONDAY, AND THEN IT SORT

OF HIT ME THAT AS OF THAT TUESDAY, IT WOULD ALL BE DONE

AND ALL OF OUR WORK AND MY FAMILY THAT I HAVE, YOU KNOW,

GENETICALLY AND, YOU KNOW, THROUGH THE SHOW, WE WILL BE --

WE WILL HAVE COMPLETED OUR TASK, AND IT REALLY HIT ME IN A

POWERFUL WAY, AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, WHAT I DIDN'T EVER

CONSIDER WHEN WE WERE MAKING THE SHOW WAS JUST HOW MUCH OF AN

EMOTIONAL ATTACHMENT FANS WOULD HAVE TO IT.

SO TO READ THANK YOU LETTERS FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE JUST, YOU

KNOW, POURED THEIR HEARTS OUT TO US OVER THE YEARS AND IN THIS

LAST WEEK HAD REALLY SORT OF EXPRESSED THAT IN THESE LONG,

BEAUTIFUL LETTERS, AND I WAS READING IT, AND IT ALL HIT ME,

AND THEN OUR CAST GOT ON A ZOOM TOGETHER AND WE WATCHED THE LAST

EPISODE, AND THEN THE LITTLE DOCUMENTARY ALL TOGETHER AS A

TEAM, AND THERE WAS A LOT OF TEARS IN THAT LITTLE QUAD ZOOM

MEETING, AND IT'S EMOTIONAL TO SAY GOODBYE.

I DON'T LIKE IT, I'M VERY COMFORTABLE JUST WITH THE WAY

SO TO SAY GOODBYE WAS TOUGH, BUT I THINK -- YOU KNOW, I THINK

PEOPLE LIKED IT, AND THAT'S ULTIMATELY THE MOST MEANINGFUL

THING THAT THE END OF ALL THIS IS PEOPLE LIKE THE WAY IT ENDED.

>> James: NOW, YOU MENTIONED JUST BEFORE, YOU TALKED ABOUT

LETTERS THAT YOU'VE RECEIVED FROM PEOPLE.

THERE WAS A VIDEO THAT GOT POSTED THE OTHER DAY WHICH, I

THINK I'VE WATCHED FIVE TIMES BECAUSE I THINK IT IS ONE OF THE

THIS WAS A -- ALL OF THE CAST WAS SAT AROUND A TABLE, AND I'M

WRITING THINKING THIS WAS A SURPRISE, RIGHT?

>> James: YOU WERE GIVEN LETTERS FROM MOMS AND PARENTS OF

LGBTQ KIDS WHO WERE WRITING TO YOU, THANKING YOU FOR THE HELP

THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN THEIR COMMUNITY, AND PEOPLE SHOULD

SEEK OUT THIS VIDEO AND HAVE IT BECAUSE NOTHING THAT I EVER SAY

I FOUND HOW MUCH IT MOVED YOU, A REALLY, REALLY QUITE BEAUTIFUL

TALK TO ME ABOUT THOSE LETTERS AND WHAT THEY MEANT TO YOU.

>> YOU KNOW, I THINK, AS A GAY PERSON, ALL YOU TRY TO DO IS

REPRESENT YOUR EXPERIENCE AND, IN MY CASE, I HADN'T NECESSARILY

SEEN MY EXPERIENCE REPRESENTED THAT MUCH ON TV, AND, YOU KNOW,

I THINK, ALSO, WHEN YOU'RE GIVEN THAT KIND OF OPPORTUNITY, YOU

HAVE TO RUN WITH IT AND YOU HAVE TO TELL STORIES AND YOU HAVE TO

SORT OF CUT THROUGH THE B.S., IF YOU WILL, BECAUSE I THINK THAT,

FOR SO LONG, QUEER CHARACTERS ON TELEVISION, YOU KNOW, HAVE BEEN

MET WITH EITHER TRAGEDY OR THE BUTT OF A JOKE OR A CARTOON OR

SO FOR ME IT WAS ABOUT TELLING A VERY TRUTHFUL AND THOUGHTFUL

REPRESENTATION OF MY LIFE AND MY FRIENDS' LIVES, AND I THINK, TO

HEAR THAT THOSE STORIES AFFECTED PEOPLE IN SUCH PROFOUND WAYS AND
