on jimmy kimmel. we will see you tomorrow night. . >> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live," with guest host, anthony anderson. tonight, yara shahidi and corey bush. and now, anthony anderson. >> welcome to jimmy kimmel live, i'm anthony anderson. and i will be your guest host for the night. again. for the third time this summer. you know, when i told jimmy that i'm always happy to fill in for him, i didn't literally mean always. but i do wanna say thanks to jimmy, having to put on pants and haul my ass back to this abandoned house was by far the best birthday present i got. for those of you who don't know, i turned 50 on saturday, which was a lot of fun. we did one of those drive by parties. where i grew up in compton, you

didn't want to be associated with a drive by. but this was fun. my friends and family shouted muffled "happy birthdays" from their cars while wearing festive masks. it was like my own personal version of "the masked singer." who is that, my mama or chaka khan? and this was an extra special birthday for me, because on friday, i got a star on the hollywood walk of fame. of course, they say you don't really have a star on the walk of fame until someone dressed as elmo throws up on it. and that happened on tuesday! i can't wait to take my grandkids to hollywood boulevard someday and say "see where that meth head is break dancing? that's right on top of your grand daddy's name" i need all the victories i can get right now, because next month there's a pretty good chance they're gonna give my emmy away to someone else again.

i'm nominated for lead actor in a comedy series, and these are the odds for my category. i'm the least favored to win. and look, it's great to be nominated and all, but the truth is i don't do this for the awards. i do it for the money. i've been nominated for my role on "blackish" six years in a row. haven't won. i'm 0 for 6. that means i've had my same acceptance speech. this acceptance speech in my pocket, for six long years, since september of 2015. and now it's time for america to finally hear it. guillermo? announce me. group ju >> guillermo: just a second! and the emmy goes to mr. anthony anderson!

>> what? we did it! we did it! we did did, mama, we won, oh, my god. i have so many people to thank. god, the academy, all my followers on vine. shout out to my fellow "toys r' us" shareholders. this year is gonna be huge! i will never take this honor for granted because who knows? one day we may not be able to do the things we love with the people we love. one day we may not be able to gather in large crowds like this or get within six feet of each other without a mask. i can't think of any reason why that would happen, i'm just saying. i am so proud to be an american. we have elected a black president twice.

now i'm getting this award. so yeah, racism is pretty much solved. we're good now. winning this means the world to me. i would hate to be one of those guys who just kept getting nominated year after year, over and over, until he becomes a joke and it's just sad. but here i am! and if i can win an emmy, anything is possible. like the words of a great song, by an even greater artist. "i believe i can fly!" "i believe know what i should probably update this before the emmys. okay, now for something fun and helpful. since you can't really go to a restaurant right now, a lot of people are signing up for those meal delivery services. and i'm getting in on the

action, with a delicious and nutritious new business venture. >> these days we're all doing a lot less eating out and a lot more cooking at hope. but it can be hard to find a delivery at home business, until now. the only meal difficultry service that gives you the ingredient anthony anderson was able to find in the back of his pantry. >> i checked the expiration dates myself. >> every week, you will find a box of ingredients that he purchased sometime in the bush .hoke hearts n delivered to your rice-a-roni. from 2007. legally speaking, it's still good. >> and each box comes with a recipe card, giving you detailed instructions on how to use those ingredients to cook the perfect meal. >> people always ask me, is this

really a meal service or just a way to sell weird crap in my cupboard. to me, i say shut up and eat your [ bleep ] lentils. mama! we got another box ready! >> anthony anderson's back of the pantry meal service. what are you going to do? go to a store? >> what will i think of next? we've got a great show for you tonight, missouri congressional candidate cori bush is here. we'll be right back with yara shahidi. >> and sitting in with the cletones tonight is an amazing street performer from detroit, deon forrest. take it away deon! ♪ ♪ >> dicky: abc'sugo

mother being one, myself, be another, kenya barris being another, and marseille being another and launwrence being another. that's five leos in your life that you're around on a daily basis. what did you do for your mother's birthday this past week? >> well, we kept it a little chill, you know, work has been non-stop, as i know it's been for you. and so we went to the beach and did a very socially-distant workout as on beautifulite dessert. we had favorite ice cream flown in from hawaii that she hasn't had in years and her favorite cupcakes. one of our dear friends makes the best cupcakes and made them especially for her birthday. so a lot of food. >> okay. that's all fine and good. >> ah-oh. >> i have a slightss yodi all of that, but yet you

couldn't come to hollywood boulevard for your tv daddy's star on the walk of fame? and if that was going to be too hectic, you couldn't do a drive by to my 50th drive by birthday celebration at my house? you live in the foothills of the foothills, and you went all the way to the beach to play in the sand with your mama and her friends and melted ice cream from hawaii. >> okay. first and foremost, we celebrated from a distance your star. i've not been in the hollywood vicinity, i'm a little offended. i don't remember receiving a drive by invite. >> i have the receipts. i will go to my phone and pull up the receipts where you asked me for your address so you can come by, and i sent an address to you. >> i asked you for your address to send you a gift. it wasn't related to a drive by. >> okay. and i still haven't received said gift in the mail. why is that? >> thank you, usps.

>> oh. okay. all right, i'm still proud of you. so at 20 years old, you are a student at harvard university. you are the star of your own television show. and you've launched your own company, and you have a deal at disney, an overall deal at disney now. how do you manage it all? >> with an incredible team of folks. i have the best support network. i mean, you know my whole family, and i think we operate very similarly, just always having our families involved in every step of the process. but i think fortunately i've been surrounded by people who encourage me to do it all. i remember thinking back to even first season of blackish. i was telling this forstory the other day. i remember how well come i felt in the "blackish" producer sections with you. i don't care if i don't get this because i had the best time.

i was so happy with the experience itself. what it spoke to was my first days on set, everyone supporting how to figure out the balance of my education and this show and every other passion i've had has always been encouraged by everyone. so thank you for that. >> oh, my pleasure. and thank you for blessing me with your talent. now i want to bring up something from the past. my real-life son took my real-life tv daughter to his prom. how was that experience hanging out with my son nate, and how did that come about? >> i realize it doesn't sound right as i explain it and you position us as tv brothers and sisters, but he played our tv cousin in season one of "blackish", and i think we all became pretty much instant friends sdlout throughout the years. when it came time for his prom, i got to join him. those were the u to

celebrate. but we had such a good time. he asked me actually at one of the "blackish" events. and his entire friend group i've known for the past couple years too. he hangs out with other people. >> i was looking forward to paying for my real-life tv da and my tv son. you don't have a driver's license. everybody thinks i promised every kid on "blackish" a car. that is not true. i only -- no, no, did i promise you a car, too? >> yes. i've really, honestly been

waiting on the car. >> really? huh? what's that, huh, nasa? we'll be right back with cori bush. we're coming up to you right now. i got you. nasa. ♪ ♪
