>> if loving this is wrong, i don't want to be right. the glam team put their back into this one. i think this is iconic. >> nicky campbell is great because he's like everyone else who's watching at home from their couch. it's quick, it's quippy, it's funny, and in a lot of cases, it's what everyone else is thinking when they're watching these looks in the first place. >> hi, guys. >> campbell's signature snap judgments the perfect fit for award season. >> i have no words for how good this is. flop. we flopped ten across the board. >> it's almost like one word. word. association. >> yes. when you have a red carpet like the oscars, you want to see all the looks at once. and i would see these people doing this commentary, and they would cover maybe like 4 or 5 of the looks. and i was like, that's it. you know what else? give me some. give me something else. >> he credits a former real housewives of beverly hills star for helping put him on the map. >> i remember in my first few videos i actually got a flood of followers the next day. and i realized that lisa rinna, an

nobody could ask and say the things that only joan rivers could say. it was taking what people were doing at home and putting it live on the air. >> the joan rivers of tiktok. how does that hit you? >> crazy. i mean, a huge honor because joan was one of the people that i watched and admired growing up. obviously, she's had such immense influence on the red carpet and really was kind of like one of the first people to see the connection between fashion and entertainment. she opened it up to new audiences. >> i love. >> that he gets it. she did open it up to so many more generations because her career was so long. but it makes me feel really good that she's getting the love from the next generation that she deserves. >> rivers also believes her mom would have liked campbell's style. >> i think she would take it as a compliment as long as nobody did it better than her. you know, you're wonderful. you're great. i'm so impressed by what you do. get in line. >> joan rivers really left a big

>> are you gagged? >> i am officially gagged. >> the only time he was at a loss for words. >> oh no way. >> when we presented him with an official fashion police badge from the joan rivers era. >> can i pin you? yes, please. oh, my gosh, it's perfect. now you're fully deputized. >> member of the fashion police. >> i'm reporting for duty. >> when we come back, simu liu made history as the star of the marvel smash cianci. but he tells me his parents thought his career choice was crazy.

staring at pieces of pipe. >> you're diving into the abyss on this. but let's take a look at this role of the deep sea diver and what happens. it's a real thriller. >> what happens now? is your umbilical. it's going to snap. you'll get pulled off the structure. now i will come back for you. but you have to do something for me, okay? you have to get yourself back to the top of the manifold. i can't rescue you if i can't find you. understand? >> you said you're basically having flashbacks watching that clip. >> oh, yeah. especially the helmets that we wore because they were, you know, the actual helmets that saturation divers use. they're about 50 pounds. and, you know, you put that around your head and you go underwater and it's like it's weirdly very claustrophobic. or maybe not weirdly. >> yeah, understandably. and i know that on set, the real life divers dave duncan and chris wright visited the set. what was it like to film and know that

they're reacting in real time? >> it's such a gift. anytime you're portraying, you know, real life events, to have the characters that are not only alive and still with us, but, you know, cooperative and willing to kind of lend their expertise. and so the character i play is dave yuasa, who, you know, is one of the two divers in the water that day. and i'll tell you what, if i was ever stuck in the bottom of the ocean, there's nobody else i'd rather have come for me than the real dave yuasa, because he's just incredible. >> oh, that's amazing. >> but i know so many of your fans know you as the first asian-american marvel superhero. and true to form, your asian immigrant parents were not very happy about your failed accounting career and your choice as an actor. >> i mean, none of us had had any sort of exposure to the entertainment industry. and so i think when i showed up one day and i was like, hey, guys, i lost my job as an accountant, and i've decided that i'm going to be an actor. my parents thought, like, ready to take me to an institution because they were like, where is this coming from? and i think in the

beginning they thought that i was checked out, that i was lazy, and i was just trying to make up an excuse to not have to do any work, when in reality, i had kind of found something that i was legitimately very passionate about, and i think it took a little bit of time for them to come around to the idea, and it took a bit of time for me to show them, you know, just how passionate i was and how hard i was willing to work. >> but at the same time, you're in dragon's den, which is the equivalent of shark tank. you even invested in the soup dumpling concern. what makes you passionate about investing in asian heritage businesses? >> i think a lot about representation. i represent in a certain way on screen, you know, with the role that i play within the marvel universe, that representation can occur off screen as well. it occurs, you know, when you go to the supermarket to see your food and the flavors of your culture, you know, being represented and accepted and celebrated. so it's a wonderful thing. and it's definitely not what maybe we had when we were young. >> you represented as asian ken, which i appreciated, and you were known to belt out. i'm just ken opposite white. ken on the oscar stage. could we see you singing and dancing on broadway

someday? >> yeah, i would say never say never. you know, i think growing up, theater never quite felt entirely accessible to me. but i think that's changing. and i think it's really, really encouraging when i see now more, more, you know, asian faces or just faces from all sorts of different cultures and walks of life on stage. i'm a big musical nerd and musical buff. so yeah, it's definitely been a dream of mine. >> you're going to. >> i'm sure you will. >> and i know you have lots more in your future. thanks so much for joining us. >> thank you for having me. >> when we come back, remembering dolly parton's husband, the inspiration for her hit jolene. >> jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene, i'm begging of jolene, jolene, i'm begging of you, please don't takeng coffee at farmers markets. i did that for about five years with no real traction, and i decided i needed to pivot. so i personalized the outer packaging of the coffee and i made a tiktok. when i went viral, i had over 1200 orders and over $25,000 in sales.
