Scott Evans (0:00)

Hello, everybody! We're here with Scott! It's so exciting!

What is up, neighbors? We've got the Kerry Washington pulling up to the house today. You know her as an actress, a producer, best-selling author, but did you know she also has a killer Tina Turner impression? Let's see whose is better. Carrie! Hi! Oh my good, what is this? This is Rosemary from my garden. No way. Cause I know you cooking something. You know something good. Something. I cannot believe you're sitting in my house right now. I'm losing. I'm so happy to be here. I'm losing my mind. We'll find it. Cause this is a really important moment. Right? I love that I'm here. Same, I will never forget. We were on the carpet of the NAACP. Oh, I was geeking out. Image awards. I was so excited. And you were like, Scott, like she's taking her photos. And I hear Scott and I turn around and it's Kerry Washington walking towards me like, I am so proud of you. So proud and excited and inspired and all the things. You know, you like when good things happen to good people. Yes. You're one of the real ones. You're one of the guys that anytime you walk into a room, you come with presents, you come prepared, you come with a generous heart. Yeah. So now that we all get to come here and give that to you. It's unreal. Pour that back into you. It's unreal. It's a delight. The amount of tears that have been shed around me. This island is unreal. Also, you feed people, so. You know you gotta eat. I mean, we're gonna come for the food. If you come for an afternoon, I gotta feed you. My mama said, hey, don't do people the wrong way. You know what I'm saying? So we've got a little functional mocktail for us today. I'm calling it the Keri Crush. Oh, wow. Because it's kind of like a blush color almost, like earthy, just in time for autumn. We've got pomegranate, we've got orange, we've got a little agave, and then I'm gonna top mine off with a little champagne. Cute. Because I love it.

So why not? You know what I'm saying? Yes. Halle Berry introduced me to this champagne. It's what the Cartier customer gets, like the top 1% of the Cartier. Oh, I have not seen that champagne. Baby. Neither have I. That's amazing. But I found the family that does it and I ordered a case. Oh, wow. They were like, um, hello? Who are you? They were like, I'm the one. Yeah. Halle Berry told me to give y'all a call. My friends. I love that. Okay, so here we go. I'm gonna shake this up. Okay, tell me again what's in it. So you've got pomegranate, orange juice. Beautiful. No like juice cocktails. We're talking pure juice. Pure, like you squeezed a pomegranate? No. Yeah. No. No. No.

Here we are. This is so fancy.

Oh, it's beautiful. Right? How can I help? I feel like I need to do something. Just sit there and receive it. Oh dear. There you go. Yeah, yeah. Now my hand is wet, so you know. Do you want me to do that for you? Nope, I gotta.

If you run it under hot water. Here we go. Oh, you got it.

Ha ha. So a little bit of soda.

Mm-hmm. Just want to see the bubbles form. Mm. See how pretty that is? It's like a little party.

Woo. I love that sound. Now it's a party. It just sounds rich. My lady. Thank you.

Boom. To us. Amen.

Oh, that's beautiful. Right? That's like a sexy mimosa. Ah, that's why I call it the Carrie Crush. Okay! You see? I'll take it. It's so nice. Good, I'm so glad, I'm so glad. The thing about you is that you are never not working.

And even when you aren't working, I feel like you're working because you use parts of your life. You harness this incredible inertia that's happening in your life and you pour it back into your work. I feel like I see it in different projects. You're bringing a different part. It's like, oh, this is the part that I've experienced. This is the part I'm ready to share. This is Oh, interesting. Do you know what I mean? I do know what you mean. Because I think as I grow as a person, my instrument for expression grows. Because when you're an actor, this is your instrument. Exactly. So as I move through life, I do feel like my instrument evolves and I'm ready to play different songs. I also love you back in feature films. You know what I'm saying? I love a movie. I do love you in a movie. I do love a movie. I'll be honest with you. I would have never necessarily thought of you and Ben Affleck as a married couple. Me neither. When you got this call. I was kind of shocked when I got the text from him. Well, listen, how did the text happen? Tep, break it down. I was, I think I was in Santa Barbara. I was driving around and I got a text from him. He asked me what my schedule was for the next few months. And I was like, why?
