8:26 am
others, and then as we built our relationship, then i started seeing myself in him and then learning also from him because i sort of feel that we're always a kid at heart, and i got to watch him grow and move and it just -- it was really special. >> we know y'all are big warriors fans so -- >> you guys are big -- came in in the land of the golden state. where are you guys going to watch the game wednesday night? >> my house. >> no, you're not. >> i cook up. >> no, you're not. >> no? >> no, you're not. >> what's that mean? >> your house? >> no, we got you tickets. >> we got you tickets, man.

8:41 am
[ cheers and applause ] that doesn't happen. that just doesn't happen. >> for some people it does. some people have to do multiple rounds of auditions so i was very lucky. >> you're very talented. >> oh, my gosh.

[ applause ] >> you're hired. you're hired off that. and now you're on the show, abc's show "single family" "single parents" with former "snl" taran killam. what is it like working with him and there is a kissing scene. is that a little strange. >> he and i worked together for many years and we always felt like a brother/sister kind of -- in fact, our first season we had to do a kiss and i gagged before we did it. >> way to help his
8:42 am
self-confidence. >> he will never let me forget it and in "single parents" i play his ex-wife and had to do a major kiss in the show and it was like -- 50s what i deserved. i mean -- >> what you deserved. >> he is great and i'm not -- it's just the relationship. he feels like a brother to me. >> and "snl," "single parents" and now you're writing a children's book. >> yes. >> what made the switch? wow, that's a heck of a transition. >> i had always really been -- i had always loved children's books and always wanted to write one and this felt like a story i really wanted to tell because if you have a friend who is sick things you can do, what you can do to be there for them and when i was in high school i had leukemia and my friends rallied around me so i wanted to sort of spread the word that like the best way to help someone who is sick is to support them and be there for them. >> and going through everything that you've gone through in your life especially at such a young age do you think that pushed you into comedy. >> i do. my friends and family would half
8:43 am
and joke about things when i was sick which it doesn't necessarily sound line so funny but we found ways to kind of laugh about it and i really think it made the whole experience so much easier and sump a healing thing and so i think -- i don't think i knew it at the time when i first went into comedy but i think in rh t retrospect it's why i went into comedy. >> you have all these talent. >> oh, my gosh. >> what is next? what is next? >> what is next for me? i'm developing a show with showtime and i'm -- i just moved to l.a. and so i'm like driving again. >> how is that going for you? how is that going? >> you know, it's going. [ laughter ] and so, yeah, i'm just kind of exploring some new things and just, you know, you know, i'm watching a lot of tv and -- is this that's a good thing. but you also wrote an incredible book, "how do you care for a very sick bear?" that i think
8:44 am
will help. >> thank you. >> thank you so much for being here this morning. "how do you care for a very sick bear?" is out tomorrow. >> yes. >> you know what, the gifts keep coming because everybody in our audience, you're going home with a copy of vanessa's new book. ginger, i got a copy for you. >> great reaction to the book. now we want to go to one of the bet things to do in the summer. getting out on the water and reeling in fish. national fish and bolting week and our responsible sow take me fishing wants everybody to man for a successful day on the water so asked you for your pictures. 5-year-old will with a big catch. got to be proud of that one, yes. then a couple who is clearly enjoying themselves on lake st. clair in my home state of michigan, you can find out more about national fishing and boating week on "gma's" facebook page but now why don't i give you a little forecast. lake superior, frost advisories were in place this morning. nothing new there.

8:46 am
how do you wrap your head around this year? >> i don't. i just kind of go where they tell me to go. [ laughter ] show up and they say, say this and i try to do that. yeah. >> otherwise it would just be a little overwhelming? yeah, well, i'm not really big on self-reflection because i don't know what it really means. i don't know i'd be able to process what this year has been or it adds up to anything. i don't know that it does. it is just something that has happened. i just kind of show up. [ laughter ] yeah. >> show up, he does. why don't you tell everybody a little about "burn this" because it is so aptly titled. it's smoldering. it's incredible. >> it was this play written by this great playwright named lanford wilson and wrote it at the height of the aid epidemic in the '80s. it's not really mentioned but it's very much his aids play about this dancer named robbie who suddenly dies in a boating accident unexpected and kind of
8:47 am
brings his dancing partner played by keri russell and i play his brother from, you know, jersey who, you know, kind of estranged and they bond over the loss -- >> they're not at all alike. >> no, they're very different which is very much part of the play and how, you know, again, it was written during the aids crisis but it's still the idea of grief and loss and being inarticulate about something so beautiful gone without any warning or ex-will practice nation because there is none and the loss of that life gone, those conversations gone, that art that could have been created gone and how inarticulate it can make us to basically just howling animals, you know, because and not having the language to describe it, sometimes that can bond you with someone that otherwise you would have no relationship with.
8:48 am
>> and this is your return to theater. >> yeah. >> i'm sure you all were at juilliard. >> clap for myself. yeah, yeah, yeah. >> you also did something terrific. arts in the armed forces is the program that you've created alongside someone else and you just invited 50 members of the military to the show? >> we did. for the past ten years, when i started my second year at juilliard where we tried to create a project to bring contemporary american theater to a military audience because i kept getting the response from pre-existing military organizations that, you know, active duty marines and army wouldn't understand theater. that it was somehow distant from their upbringing and any time someone tells me, oh, no, someone won't be able to understand a play because of their cultural background just
8:49 am
makes me insane so we created this project where we pick material that i think is great and we just read it for a military audience, no sets and no costumes and no lights to show theater can be created anywhere but because i was doing a play, seemed easier, the ac r actors couldn't go anywhere so -- >> quite a nice night out. >> asked 50 veterans to come and the things they pick out is always -- i mean that's what theater is anyway, the audience teaches you about the play as you kind of -- as you do it, the response is always great. >> congratulations on being nominated to are a tony award. >> thank you so much. thank you. >> tony award nominee, also coming up alongside bill murray in "the dead don't die" june 14th. we'll look for you. adam, drivers, thanks for coming back. broadway's hudson theater through july 14th. coming up next a sneak peek. we're changing directions of tonight's "the bachelorette."

my body is truly powerful. i have the power to lower my blood sugar and a1c. because i can still make my own insulin. and trulicity activates my body to release it like it's supposed to. trulicity is for people with type 2 diabetes. it's not insulin. i take it once a week. it starts acting in my body from the first dose. trulicity isn't for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. don't take trulicity if you're allergic to it, you or your family have medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2. stop trulicity and call your doctor right away
8:55 am
if you have an allergic reaction, a lump or swelling in your neck, or severe stomach pain. serious side effects may include pancreatitis. taking trulicity with a sulfonylurea or insulin increases low blood sugar risk. side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, belly pain and decreased appetite, which lead to dehydration and may worsen kidney problems. i have it within me to lower my a1c. ask your doctor about trulicity.
