>> James: ARE YOU A MAXWELL.

>> I'M NOT A MAXWELL.

>> James: ARE YOU A MAXIMILLIAN.

>> NO, JUST MAX.

>> James: MY SON IS JUST A MAX.

>> I THINK WE TALKED ABOUT THIS.

MY PARENTS I BELIEVE WERE BIG FANS OF THE MOVIE ANNIE HALL.

AND HE WAS IN THAT MOVIE.

>> James: YEAH.

>> AN THERE YOU GO.

THAT STORY TURNED OUT MUCH DIFFERENTLY BUT AT THE TIME, IT

WAS A FINE NAME.

>> James: SUPERCOOL, NOW I REMEMBER, YEAH.

>> WE GET THE REFERENCE, JUST GO.

>> James: I ALWAYS SAY TO MY MAX, I SAY WE JUST CALLED YOU

MAX SO YOU CAN PICK WHETHER YOU WANT TO BE A MAXWELL,

MAXIMILLIAN, MAXAMUNDO I LIKE.

>> THIS IS A DATED REFERENCE, MAX HELDROOM USED TO COME UP A

LOT.

ALL SORTS OF DIMP MAX.

YOU DON'T WANT THE MAXI PAD, THAT COMES UP, I WOULD PREPARE

HIM FOR THAT.

>> James: THE MAXI PAD.

>> WHAT SAY MAXI PAD.

>> OH.

>> I DON'T THINK EITHER ONE OF US ARE EQUIPPED TO HAVE THIS

DISCUSSION.

IF IS-- A PAD.

>> James: LIKE INCONTINENT.

NOPE, OH, WE CAN TALK ABOUT SANITARY TOWELS, IS THAT WHAT IT

IS, IS THAT WHAT IT IS.

>> SANITARY TOWELS.

>> James: HAVE I NO ISSUES.

>> I AM A MODERN MAN, I TALK ABOUT TAM UPONS.

>> IT IS A SANITARY TOWEL.

>> James: I WILL EVEN GO SO FAR, I'M MORE THAN COMFORTABLE

BUYING MY WIFE'S TAM UPONS BUT APPARENTLY THEY ARE NOT

CONSIDERED A PROPER PRESENTER.

(LAUGHTER) NOT MY JOKE.

NOW JUST THE OTHER DAY YOU IN THE CAST IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD

WENT DOWN TO THE PRICE IS RIGHT.

WHAT WAS THIS LIKE CAN YOU TELL MOO HE.

>> IT WAS LIKE BEING ON EVERY DRUG.

>> James: YEAH.

>> IT WAS ONE OF THE STRANGEST EXPERIENCES I MY LIFE.

WHAT REALLY MADE IT UNBELIEVABLE WAS THE FACT WHAT WE WERE JUST

TALKING ABOUT, IS THAT THERE WAS NO AUDIENCE.

IMAGINE "THE PRICE IS RIGHT" WITH NO AUDIENCE.

IT IS SORT OF ALMOST ALL OF THE SHOW.

>> James: YEAH.

>> AND SO YOU ARE IN THERE.

THEY'VE COMPLETELY SEALED OFF ALL THE SEATS, SO NOW IT IS JUST

ONE BIG FLAT SURFACE THAT IS ALL LIKE LACQUERED WHITE WITH

WHICH ADDS TO THE ODDNESS OF THE EXPERIENCE, THE MUSIC FEELS LIKE

IT IS PLAYING THE WHOLE TIME YOU ARE IN THERE, DREW IS DREW,

BABY.

AND YOU KNOW, IT IS, AND THEN YOU'RE LIKE GUESSING HOW MUCH

A-- HOT WHEELS COST AND YOU THINK HAVE I MOVED ON TO A

DIFFERENT PHASE IN MY LIFE.

THAT'S FINE AND WE HAVE LEFT NORMAL REALITY AND GORN INTO

THIS NEW SPACE.

>> James: IT MUST BE-- I MEAN 70% OF THAT SHOW IS JUST

SHOTS-OF-AUDIENCES GOING CRAZY.

>> IT IS JUST PEOPLE FREAKING OUT. AND I THINK THE IDEA IS

LET'S REPLICATE SOME OF THAT EXCITEMENT AND ENERGY SO WHEN

YOU ARE WALKING OUT IT IS LIKE OKAY, AND HERE-- THE SAME GUYS,

MAX GREENFIELD SON THE SHOW AND THE MUSIC.

>> DOES IT NOT DO MAX GREENFIELD, COME ON DOWN AND YOU

HAVE TO COME ON DOWN WITH NO AUDIENCE YENS.

>> James: BUT MUSIC.

>> OH, FOR SURE.

MUSIC.

>> James: BUT YOU HAVE TO GO LKE.

>> YEAH, BUT LIKE YOUR INSTINCT IS TO RESPOND TO EVERYBODY ELSE.

>> James: SURE.

>> BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT YOU KNOW FROM THE SHOW.

BUT THERE IS NO EVERYBODY ELSE.

IT'S JUST.

>> James: APP YOU'RE GENUINELY, BECAUSE ALSO THE

AUDIENCE HELPS, HIGHER, LOWER.

>> YEAH, SO WE WERE ON WITH THE REST OF THE CAST OF THE THE

NEIGHBORHOOD AND THEY WERE VERY, IT WE REALLY WANT TO ENCOURAGE

YOU TO HELP OUT YOUR TEAMMATE.

AND PEOPLE, SO THEY, WE WERE HAVING TO BE THE AUDIENCE.

>> James: RIGHT.

>> AND I FOUND IT FUN TO LEAD PEOPLE ASTRAY OFTEN.

BID A MILLION DOLLARS.

AND A FEW PEOPLE LISTENED.

>> James: NOW CONGRATULATIONS ON THE BRILLIANT THIRD SEASON

PREMIER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THE SHOW JUST KEEPS GETTING BIGGER

AND BIGGER.

WHAT HAVE WE GOT TO LOOK FORWARD TO ON THE SHOW THIS SEASON S WE

ARE BACK AT IT, BACK IT TO NORMAL.

OUR FIRST EPISODE IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.

YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT THE HEADLINE SORT OF THAT PEOPLE

HAVE GIVEN OUR FIRST EPISODE, THE NEIGHBORHOOD ADDRESSES BLACK

LIVES MATTER.

>> YEAH.

>> AND I MEAN I THINK WE DO DEFINITELY ADDRESS IT IN DEFENSE

THAT WE TAKE IT ON MUCH MORE DIRECTLY.

TO WHAT SOME OF, THE WAY THAT I THINK WE'VE SEEN THEM PORTRAYED

AT LEAST IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS.

BUT YOU KNOW, I THINK IT IS A DIFFICULT THING FOR TWO WHITE

GUYS TO SIT HERE AND TALK ABOUT.

ONE OF OUR CASEMATES WHO PLAYS MARTY ON THE SHOW, I THINK HE

REALLY ELOQUENTLY PUT IT.

AND I WANT TO READ IT SO I DON'T SCREW IT UP WHICH T IS ME.

BUT HE WROTE CAN SOMEBODY HAD PUT OUT A-- THE NEIGHBORHOOD

ADDRESSES BLACK LIVES MATTER IN THAT FIRST EPISODE BACK.

AND HE SAID IN RESPONSE TO THAT, IN MY OPINION EVERY EPISODE OF

THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS A BLACK LIVES MATTER EPISODE.

WE HAVE ALWAYS SHOWN BLACK LOVE, BLACK FAMILIES, BLACK

EXCELLENCE, BLACK JOY.

WE HAVE ALSO BRIDGED THE GAP BETWEEN COMMUNITIES AND UNITED

PEOPLE.

WELCOME TO THE HOOD, AMERICA.

NOW THE LAST SENTENCE SOUNDS MUCH COOLER WHEN HE READS IT.

>> SURE.

>> BUT TO THE EXTENT THAT I'M CAPABLE OF BELIEVING THAT, I

REALLY DO.

I AM SO PROUD OF THIS SHOW.

I'M SO PROUD TO BE WORKING ON THIS SHOW WITH ALL THE PEOPLE

INVOLVED.

AND YOU KNOW, OUR FIRST EPISODE IS ONE WHERE WE ADDRESS SOME

PRETTY HEAVY THINGS, I THINK IT TAKES A TONAL SHIFT FROM WHAT

YOU ARE USED TO BUT I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE DID THAT.

I THINK IT WAS A RESPONSIBILITY FOR US GIVEN THE NATURE OF OUR

SHOW.

AND I JUST, YOU FLOW, EVERY DAY I'M MORE AND MORE PROUD TO BE A

PART OF THIS GROUP AND TO BE A PART OF WHAT WE ARE DOING WITH

THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

>> THAT'S ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC.
