To let you see what A list stars showing up tonight, we’re to caught. Tell me what you’re representing? James Van Der Beek: Maasai Wildnerness Foundation. Bridget Daly: Not the snickers-- James Van Der Beek: I’m sorry yes it’s not-- Bridget Daly: No, that’s okay that is so much better I’m sorry. How is it affecting you know our world, their world, how is it affecting? James Van Der Beek: Well, I mean basically, Maasai this is an incredible natural resource and this is a foundation that encourages the local people to actually make money out of just saving it. And so it’s a—instead of just treating the symptom you actually gets to the root cause of the problem and you know allow the other people to make a difference. Allison Brie: Supporting biodiversity and the Maasai and lots of great things for East Africa. So just—I’m here to see what they got going on. Apparently, there’s a lot of interesting things that this African bizarre here so I’m also a big fan of— Anna Trebunska: The shoes and just to check it out what’s going on because I love Puma, I love their products and the fact that they’re teaming up to bring awareness for Africa and also to bring some soccer into America. Bridget Daly: What do you think it takes to be part of a really successful TV show because you guys are going to what your fourth season now? Gregory Michael: It’s our forth season yes. You know it’s a such a great cast. All my casts which are great Spencer Grammer, Clark Duke we have a really great cast and we have drama and comedy. And I think it’s not just a little bit—about panel all that stuff I think everybody kind of find their own little guilty pleasure or they can laugh at it and they can also cry into this world. Bridget Daly: Mad men and community. Alison Brie: Yes. Bridget Daly: It’s a different world. Alison Brie: Yes, it’s been amazing and two different shows. The whole vibes on the show are so different that it’s like an actress stream. It’s amazing to go from one and just to have fun and do the comedy and then go to the other one and delve deep diluted, introspective character work. It’s amazing. Bridget Daly: Tell me about your character. Jesse Williams: Jackson A. We are the new surgeons that are coming in during this merger. We’re kind of forced upon the audience and the cast. And then with varied effects I think—my character is kind of—a little bit of a hot shot I think in his own mind if not by the Jackson. But he’s aggressive and likes to kind of take charge and be physical and he’s going to make his mark. Aldis Hodge: We’re airing the back half in January of 2010. Bridget Daly: Why was that? What’s the point of doing that? Aldis Hodge: We’ve got to breaking up a little. Give me some to come into the New Year with and to lead you all because thank God we do have it in Thursdays and so we start filming at March. We’re going to give you a little lead into that. Danny Pudi: The writers are wonderful and the writing just a great stuff for all us. I know it’s our moment to shine like Yvette Nicole Brown. Yvette Nicole Brown: And Danny Pudi. Bridget Daly: You’re the dynamic Duo. So are you guys like the friendsters or ht jokes or something? Yvette Nicole Brown: No I don’t, Danny is. NO, Donald Glover is. Danny Pudi: Donald is—too yes. Yvette Nicole Brown: Angel, everybody does. Danny Pudi: We’ve kind of—we’ve such a great ensemble where everyone whatever and one of us are tired or whatever somebody will come up with some kind of bet you know run around and do something kind of funny. Yvette Nicole Brown: Dance, start singing. Danny Pudi: Yes, something with like baby tomatoes and things like that. You know it’s always kind of fun.
