  • What's up?

  • What's up?

  • I haven't seen you in a long time.

  • I'm so happy to see you again.

  • Great to be seen too.

  • You have been here on this show 22 times.

  • This is your 22nd.

  • [CROWD CHEERING]

  • And we've had some journeys together, right?

  • We have.

  • And the last time--

  • I don't know if it was the last time you were here.

  • But it was my bright idea, because I love America Ninja

  • Warrior, to have it out in the parking lot.

  • And you-- let's take a clip at how good he was at this.

  • Overachiever.

  • --about Usher.

  • Yes, he's up.

  • He was the star of his Delaware Devils football team.

  • Is that right?

  • Yeah, that's right.

  • And he's showing it here.

  • He is leaping.

  • Great determination.

  • He's got it.

  • He's got it.

  • He's got it!

  • He's got it!

  • Great balancing act.

  • Whoa!

  • He's got it.

  • That's it.

  • Using the truss.

  • Usher just made up a new obstacle.

  • Unbelievable.

  • You can't stop this man, you can't even

  • hope to containing him.

  • Unbelievable!

  • Usher triumphs over the course!

  • That was so amazing.

  • Yeah, it was a lot of fun.

  • That was amazing.

  • that was a fantasy of mine to someday do that.

  • It was a fantasy of mine too, but they wouldn't let me do it.

  • So you did something else that must

  • have been a dream of yours too.

  • You did a Prince tribute at the Grammys this year.

  • That was amazing.

  • [APPLAUSE]

  • Along with Sheila E, Ken Ehrlich reached out to me

  • and asked me to be a part of the tribute after the Grammys.

  • Because they paid tribute--

  • multiple artists planned on doing it.

  • But at the last minute, they asked me to perform actually

  • at the Grammys.

  • I reached out to FKA twigs and me, her,

  • and Sheila E. put together an amazing tribute to Prince.

  • It sure was.

  • I was right there, like second row, watching you.

  • It was incredible.

  • We love him, man.

  • Yeah.

  • Oh, man.

  • Sometimes when I hear the music, it's like you forget--

  • oh, he's gone.

  • But you did a great job.

  • Well, thank you.

  • You also were seen on TikTok dancing

  • with some people in Paris.

  • Oh, yeah.

  • That was very cool.

  • Yeah, funny story.

  • I'm just literally driving down the street in Paris.

  • And these kids are dancing.

  • I'm going to go into my appointment,

  • I'm like-- hey, guys, where are you from?

  • And they're like-- we're dancers out here.

  • OK.

  • Well, let's do a TikTok video together.

  • That's the cool thing to do, do a TikTok video.

  • Everyone want to do TikTok videos right?

  • TikTok.

  • We should do a TikTok video.

  • We should do a TikTok.

  • We should do a TikTok, yeah.

  • But anyway, so we did this TikTok video,

  • and come to find out later on, they've

  • actually been on your show.

  • Yeah, I've had them on a couple times.

  • That's crazy.

  • Yeah.

  • I know.

  • What a coincidence, right?

  • I know.

  • They're really good.

  • That's how we had them on the show.

  • We saw them out there doing a TikTok.

  • Let's talk about the movie, Burden.

  • First of all, you're such a nice actress.

  • Actress.

  • You're not an actress.

  • You're not an actress.

  • I dabble sometimes.

  • I don't know.

  • That's how good you are.

  • You're such a nice actor.

  • I mean, you really are.

  • You're just-- it's hard to just kind of not

  • remember that you're Usher.

  • You're the guy that we know as a dancer and a singer.

  • And when I see you acting, it's great.

  • Yeah, this was a much more significant moment for me.

  • I always try and pick rolls that I think are at least helpful,

  • maybe opening the eyes of America, and maybe the world.

  • And when I heard about this story of a man who opened a KKK

  • museum in South Carolina-- and then a reverend ended up taking

  • him in and ultimately converted him to live a life of love

  • and empathy-- and also to recognize that he had made some

  • really poor choices in his life--

  • and try to redeem himself within that process.

  • It's an amazing movie.

  • Yeah.

  • We got to spread love and get rid

  • of those people that think there's an other.

  • There's no other.

  • It's just us.

  • It's just this human race that we all--

  • you know.

  • [APPLAUSE]

  • Before I go to commercial break and say goodbye,

  • every single time I ask you when a new album is coming out.

  • And I think, three years ago you said, soon.

  • So when are you coming out with new music?

  • I'd like to know too.

  • No, really soon.

  • Well, that clears it up.

  • All right.

  • The movie is called Burden.

  • It opens in theaters everywhere this Friday.

  • Go see it.

  • We need to educate people that this is going on

  • and to stop it.

  • We'll be right back.

What's up?
