AND CREW THERE, THEY'RE REALLY
MY FAMILY.
AND THEY'VE SEEN ME GO THROUGH
SIX YEARS OF CHANGE AND LIKE
THE MOST INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE
OF MY LIFE
I -- IT REALLY IS THE MOST
LIFE-CHANGING THING THAT'S EVER
HAPPENED TO ME SO --
>> Jimmy: IT'S BEEN OVER A
A HUNDRED EPISODES
>> OVER A HUNDRED EPISODES
>> Jimmy: WOW.
THAT'S A LOT OF TIME WITH THOSE
PEOPLE
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> YEAH, GOOD THING I LOVE
THEM
>> Jimmy: EXACTLY, RIGHT
THAT'S YOUR FAMILY KIND OF,
YEAH
>> YEAH.
>> Jimmy: WAS IT EMOTIONAL,
YOUR LAST COUPLE SCENES?
>> IT WAS.
I MEAN, LIKE, AT THE END, ME
AND HUDSON WERE, LIKE, ON THE
FLOOR.
HUDSON PLAYS MY YOUNGEST SON
JUST LIKE WEEPING.
>> Jimmy: AW
>> AND IT WAS --
YEAH, I MEAN, I'M JUST -- I'M
SO GRATEFUL THAT I GOT TO DO
IT
AND I'M REALLY PROUD OF THE
KIDS
THAT'S ONE OF THE BIGGEST
THINGS IS, LIKE, THOSE BOYS
HAVE GROWN UP TO BE REALLY
WONDERFUL YOUNG MEN AND JUST TO
WITNESS THAT HAS BEEN AMAZING.
>> Jimmy: AND AT FIRST YOU
DIDN'T THINK YOU WOULD GET THE
PART, RIGHT?
>> NO, THEY MADE ME JUMP
THROUGH A LOT OF HOOPS
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> Jimmy: YEAH
>> THEY'RE LIKE, "YOU'RE NOT
RIGHT.
YOU'RE NOT RIGHT."

RIGHT.

>> YOU KNOW?
>> Jimmy: YOU'D BE PERFECT FOR
THIS
>> YEAH.
>> Jimmy: I WANT TO ASK YOU
WHAT DO YOU THINK THE SHOW
SHOULD MEAN TO EVERYBODY
WATCHING THE SHOW?
WHAT'S THE -
>> WELL, THAT'S ANOTHER THING
THAT'S BEEN SO INCREDIBLE
MOVING ABOUT IT, IS THAT IT WAS
THE FIRST AMERICAN NETWORK SHOW
IN OVER 20 YEARS TO CENTER AN
ASIAN-AMERICAN FAMILY'S
EXPERIENCE
AND, YOU KNOW, STILL TO THIS
DAY I HAVE PEOPLE COME UP TO ME
ON THE STREET AND THEY TALK
ABOUT HOW MEANINGFUL IT WAS TO,
YOU KNOW, SEE THEIR FACES
REPRESENTED ON TV.
AND I THINK AT THE END OF THE
DAY, WE ALL JUST WANT TO
UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER.
AND I THINK THAT'S ONE OF THE
BEST THINGS THAT STORYTELLING
CAN DO
IF WE INVEST IN STORIES FROM
PEOPLE WHOSE STORIES WE HAVEN'T
SEEN BEFORE.
AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT WE DID
WITH "FRESH OFF THE BOAT."
SO, I'M REALLY PROUD OF THAT
>> Jimmy: THAT'S GREAT
I AGREE.

>> WHEN I WAS AROUND 14 YEARS
OLD I HAD A MANAGER, AN ACTING
MANAGER THAT THOUGHT MY NAME,
HOWARD DOROUGH, WAS JUST NOT A
A COOL NAME.
AND SO HE INSTEAD OF MAKING ME
PUERTO RICAN-IRISH, WHICH WAS
MY COMBINATION, HE TURNED ME
INTO AN ITALIAN.

>> IT DOESN'T WORK
>> Jimmy: TONY DENETTI'S OVER
HERE
>> TONY, HEY

>> Jimmy: TONY
>> THE FUNNY THING ABOUT IT IS
THAT THAT NAME ACTUALLY ALMOST
COST ME BEING IN THE GROUP

AUDITIONED FOR THE GROUP LIKE I
SAID SHORTLY AFTER AJ
AUDITIONED
AND THEY LOVED ME.
THEY SAID WE'RE GOING TO DO
SOME MORE AUDITIONS.
THEY SAID "WE'RE GOING TO CALL
YOU BACK IN ABOUT A MONTH FROM
NOW.
I DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING
AND SO A COUPLE MONTHS WENT BY
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I HAD
A CALL AGAIN FOR A GROUP WHICH
I TOTALLY THOUGHT WAS SOMETHING
DIFFERENT.
AND I ACTUALLY GOT THERE
AND THEY WERE LIKE, "TONY,
WE'VE BEEN LOOKING ALL OVER FOR
YOU.

ROOM WITH THESE GUYS
>> Jimmy: REALLY
>> LIKE, IT'S REALLY HORRIBLE.
I'M TOTALLY PLAYING.
NO, WE LOVE THEM
THEY ARE GREAT GUYS.
I MEAN, THE ONLY TIME THAT I
CAN REALLY REMEMBER THAT THERE
WAS LIKE A RIVALRY, MAYBE LIKE
LATE '90s, EARLY 2000s
ONE THING THAT ACTUALLY STANDS
OUT TO ME WAS WHEN WE HAD AN
OPPORTUNITY TO PERFORM AT THE
SUPER BOWL
AND WE WERE GETTING READY TO DO
OUR "BLACK AND BLUE" TOUR.
AND WE GOT OFFERED TO EITHER DO
THE HALFTIME SHOW OR THE
NATIONAL ANTHEM.
AND WE CHOSE THE NATIONAL
ANTHEM
AND LOOKING BACK AT THAT
TIME -- AND THEN THEY DID
BRITNEY AND NSYNC.
>> Jimmy: I REMEMBER THAT.
>> THEY PERFORMED AT THE
HALFTIME
>> Jimmy: WAIT, BUT WHY DID YOU
CHOOSE THE NATIONAL ANTHEM
>> WE THOUGHT IT WAS MORE
PRESTIGIOUS.
BECAUSE --
>> YEAH, WE JUST THOUGHT IT WAS
MORE PRESTIGOUS.
YOU KNOW, BECAUSE --
>> IT'S LIKE US BEING A BOY
BAND
>> I DIDN'T WANT TO STRESS OUT
I WANTED TO WATCH THE GAME
[ LAUGHTER ]
I WANTED TO DO THE ANTHEM,
WATCH THE GAME AND THAT WOULD
BE IT.
I DIDN'T WANT TO STRESS OUT.
>> BUT I LOOK BACK AT IT AS ONE
OF THOSE -- AS KIND OF ONE OF
THOSE BUCKET LIST THINGS
LIKE, YOU KNOW, KIND OF REGRET
IT A LITTLE BIT.
MAYBE WISH WE COULD STILL DO A
A SUPER BOWL HALFTIME.
>> NEXT SUPER BOWL HALFTIME.
LET'S DO IT.
>> LET'S DO IT
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
>> COME ON
>> Jimmy: COME ON.
LET'S DO IT.
THEY'RE WATCHING
COME ON.

TRUTH TO US AND NSYNC BEING
A RIVALRY.
>> NO.

THEIR DREAMS
>> YEP
>> YEAH.
>> WE WERE FOLLOWING OUR
DREAMS
>> WE LOVE THEM, MAN, THAT'S
ALL.

WITH CHRIS KIRKPATRICK
