all the latest fire conditions. >> it's to for now. >> we appreciate your time. right now on jimmy kimmel, . >> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live," with guest host, ben platt. tonight, zendaya, and music from muna and the knocks. and now, ben platt. >> hello, and welcome to jimmy kimmel live. i'm your guest host, ben platt. i'm what's known as a triple threat. i sing, i act, and i post absolutely savage yelp reviews. i've also won a tony, an emmy, and a grammy. and i was one of time's 100 most influential people, which means i am now above the law in perpetuity! what's that? i'm being told that is not in fact the case. but it was crazy. i was on the same list with lebron james and kim jong un. between us we have 1 tony award,

3 nba championships and thousands of human rights violations. it's weird. i'm used to performing in front of big, loving audiences in rooms filled with applause and laughter. now here i am doing a show alone in an empty house, and the slight wrinkling of a masked cameraman's eyes is the only way i can tell if any of this is funny! and i see a smattering of wrinkle. all right. but not to worry, if anything goes wrong tonight, i have a great understudy standing by. how's it going, guillermo? >> guillermo: i'm doing good. you're doing a wonderful job. >> ah, guillermo, you tease. i've always wanted to know, what's your favorite broadway show? >> guillermo: aladdin. >> well guillermo, you ain't never had a friend like me! just kidding you probably have many dear friends. i'm sorry if i made assumptions. broadway, sadly, is closed at least through the end of the year. there's no shows, the tony

awards were postponed. which is a shame because that's where most gay high-schoolers get their yearbook quotes. some kids quote gandhi or abraham lincoln. i quoted alice ripley's winning speech for best actress in next to normal! "musical theatre is a fine art!" and to all you parents of theater kids out there, if you're going on a road trip this summer and they want to blast the original cast recording of "spring awakening" repeatedly, please just let them have it. i even wrote my college admissions essay about spring awakening, so maybe it'll encourage them to pursue higher education! also i dropped out after 7 weeks. so actually never mind. i love doing film and tv, but i so painfully miss live theater, you know? there's nothing like it. there's no substitute for the feeling of pouring your heart out to the point of exhaustion while an eighty year-old woman opens a werther's original for 12 minutes. or singing a softly heartbreaking ballad only to be interrupted by a ringtone version of "who let the dogs out?" as a man receives a call.

that said, senator romney, it was an honor to have you at the show! broadway will be back, eventually. theatre, especially musical theatre, is a vital american art form. it'll be weird to go to a theater again at first. but i'm actually excited for all the new shows that will come out of this challenging time. we'll have all kinds of new musicals. like, "don't kiss me, kate." "no company!" "how to succeed in business without having to go to your office." and patti lupone as, "covita!" "don't cry for me argentina, your tears are contagious droplets." oh, this is an alarming fact i just learned. you know who might pose one of the greatest dangers during this pandemic? friggin' me. they say that singers, can be superspreaders of the virus. because when you sing, you are breathing so deeply and in some cases you even expel saliva or mucus. and by "you" i mean "me." i've been known to shower audiences with both love and

liquid. these are real tweets from real people who have seen me perform. "sat front row at @dearevanhansen and i've never seen anyone spit as much as @bensplatt did today" can't believe it's been a year since i saw @bensplatt 's spit and boogers flying all over the deh stage. "seeing book of mormon from the front row. @bensplatt just spit on me. it was awesome. #bom" "i'm so close to the stage that @bensplatt's spit is basically raining on me and i'm so okay with this im never showering i swear" sure, i may be spreading the virus, but i'm also spreading joy, and isn't that what counts? oh and i'm being told that is not at all what counts. in all seriousness, the arts need funding now more than ever before. so many of my friends and colleagues in the theatre community and beyond are struggling. if you happen to have the means, there are so many worthy organizations to donate to, like the actors fund or black theatre united. like everyone, i've been

hunkered down at home over the past few months but i've been keeping busy. our second season of the politician came out on netflix, as did my own solo concert special from radio city musical hall. but mostly i've been watching drag race. i love you shea coulee! between episodes however, in the depths of quarantine, i did dive deep into a new project that is very, very close to my heart. you guessed it, it's my second album! no piece of art has ever been more personal to my being. in fact, i only agreed to host this show if they'd agree to play the following commercial. take a look! >> this is my turkey sandwich, so it's not like a personal attack. hey, you know we're really going to want to remember this time. so i spent my quarantine digging deep and putting together musical time capsules or an album. i'm calling it

♪ >> welcome back to jimmy kimmel live, i'm ben platt. coming up in a little bit, i love this band and i called them as soon as i learned i was hosting. they collaborated on a new single called "bodies" music from muna & the knocks is on the way. tomorrow night, i'll be back in my bunker but anthony anderson will be back to host with guests yara shahidi and cori bush. like oprah, beyoncé and jesus, my guest tonight is so talented she can't possibly be bothered with a last name. she's currently nominated for her first ever emmy for her role in the hit hbo show "euphoria," >> you know, you just can't be mad at me for wanting you to be okay, you can say i'm being anxious, you know? just, it hurts my heart too much. and just, just you're the best thing that's happened to me in a long time, so please just don't be mad at me.

>> please welcome zendaya! hey. how are you? >> i'm doing great, how are you? >> i'm doing all right. >> you look gorgeous as always. >> your emmy nomination is incredibly well-deserved. and i just got to know, how did you find out? what was the sich? >> i got a call from sam, our creator. and it was funny, because i don't know about anybody else, but in quarantine, my sleep pattern has been like really off. i wake up at like, like 2 he knows i don't wake up until late. and he called me like 8:45 a.m., and i'm like, [ bleep ], something bad must have happened or maybe he's telling me something about "euphoria" or something stressful or whatever.

so i answer the call, and he's like, "yo, z, you got nominated." i'm like, what? he's like, "you got nominated. go call your mama." >> my mom was already crying, she already knew. i was overcome with all the emotion. so i genuinely was like, i'm just going to go back to sleep for a while and handle this when i get up. i can't, it was a lot. >> you went back to bed? >> yeah. >> i feel like i would be too jazzed. >> i was too nervous and excited to, like, take it all in, i'm just going to shut down and go to sleep for a little bit. and hopefully, this will still be a real thing when i wake up. >> i'm with you on the sleeping late. i'm used to the evan hanson lifestyle of sleeping from 2:00 to 2:00 and starting in the afternoon. >> right. yeah. >> how are you feeling about the

whole virtual emmies of it all? i know it's not what we would usually get. we all want to see you in your gorgeous look, so we're going to see from you home, i would imagine. >> i hope, i don't want, i want to dress up. i do want to dress up. i still want to have the experience. it will probably just be my family over here, but i definitely want to pull a look and maybe just walk my the living room carpet. but, you know, it's different, for sure. but i'm grateful either way, so. >> amazing. i personally look forward to seeing your living room look very much. >> thank u thayou, thank you. >> as a huge fan of "euphoria", very to ask, what's up with season two, i know a lot of things have been pushed due safety. >> obviously, we headed into season two, and we had done, you know, table reads, and wardrobe

fittings and all kinds of things, and then obviously everything happened and we got shut down, literally about two days before we were about to start our first day of shooting. so, you know, that was a bummer, but we're kind of trying to figure out, you know, how to, you know, eventually be able to create a season two that we're all really proud of and get all the best out of it that we want, but also still being very safe. so we might end up doing like the little bridge episode. i don't really know how to describe it but maybe like an episode that will kind of, we can do with a limited amount of people in a safer environment. >> sure. >> that can kind of, i don't know, give people something. we all miss "euphoria", as the people who created it, too. and give everyone a little

something so that, you know, we have something to live on until we are able to go into a season two. but i am very excited, whenever it does happen, it will happen, and then just, you know, just waitin' like the rest of us, you know. >> of course, you have a really beautiful attitude about it, and i, for one, am really excited to hear about that bridge episode to whet our appetites, because i binged it way too early. you've also made a film with sam during this quarantine, like a little mini film. i'm wondering how that went down and how you guys kept safe. >> yeah, there was a lot of protocols, a lot of things i think we did just as much as possible to make sure it was safe, and we shot it in, we all quarantined together, obviously, we got tested and quarantined together. there was a lot of safety measures that were taken, consulting doctors and things like that. and, you know, it was a very, very small crew of people that

most of them worked on "euphoria" as well. and it was just like, it was fun, because it was, like, my, i was my hair, i was my makeup, i was my wardrobe. i was, brought my clothes, so it was fun in that way of just trying to make it work with a very small amount of people, but we all quarantined together and stayed in our bubble so we really weren't in the outside world at all. we weren't really allowed to leave at all, to keep it safe. >> that's incredible. >> yeah, but it was a beautiful experience and, you know, we'll see what happens. >> yeah, sounds like down the line, if we're talking nominations for makeup and hair and costumes and set dec is all for you, so i'm down. >> no, it was fun. a lot to think about in a good way, so. >> beautiful.

well, i'm getting the sad message that very to wrap up, but i would love to talk to you forever and ever. thank you so much for doing this with me, zendaya. for everybody out there, euphoria is available on hbo and to stream on hbo max. thanks zendaya. we'll be right back with music from muna and the knocks. >> thanks for having >> thanks for having ♪ ♪ >> dicky: the "jimmy kimmel live" concert series is presented by mercedes benz, the best or nothing.
