BEA: -and everything that you do, so it’s amazing-
JOSHUA: Oh that’s very thoughtful
BEA: -I was just wondering… what is your favorite color?
(AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
JOSHUA: My favorite color? (CHUCKLES) I thought you were going to ask a more profound
question. My Favorite- That’s all you want to know?
BEA: Yes
(AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
JOSHUA: Uh blue, I guess? (AUDIENCE LAUGHS) You know, The sky is blue, The ocean’s
blue. These little eyes you can see are blue (JOSHUA MAKES A FUNNY FACE) (THE
AUDIENCE LAUGHS) Yeah blue, blue is my favorite color.
(AUDIENCE LAUGHS AND CLAPS)
JOSHUA: Anyone else got a question? Anybody? The lady here just got up for a question. Go
for it what is your question?
ANA: Hi Joshua, Which shade of blue do you prefer? (AUDIENCE LAUGHS) Like Night Blue,
Navy Blue…
JOSHUA: (LOOKS PROVOKED) This isn’t really why we do this bit. (AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
It is not meant to be, like, this is supposed to- I’m giving you an opportunity to ask
questions about anything, you know like hosting the show, producing a show like this-
But Royal Blue, I would say (AUDIENCE LAUGHS) you know, Navy Blue isn’t
 Royal Blue, I’d say that! Okay! (AUDIENCE HOWLS AND CLAPS) Who’s got a
decent question, like a decent (JOSHUA SPOTS SOMEONE FROM THE AUDIENCE)
You! Yes, you! The gentleman with thick eyebrows, you look like you’ve got a sensible
question, go for it!
KURT: Yes, Hi Joshua. This is actually a question for Angela Pentecostes.
(AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
JOSHUA: Right, well, she’s not here. That is not what the segment is about (STAMMERS)
that’s my job. She will be out here later and I will be the one asking her questions.
These are questions for me, Angela Pentecostes isn’t here. She’s up in the dressing room
preparing for the show. Okay, so there’s no way we could do it-
(ANGELA SHOWS UP FROM THE DOOR)
ANGELA: I’m here, I’m Angela Pentecostes
(AUDIENCE HOWLS AND CLAPS) (CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
JOSHUA: (LOOKS STUNNED) Okay, okay. Okay, okay.
Angela, turns out to be here, what are you doing down here?
ANGELA: I just wanted to soak up the atmosphere, you know, before I came on, just get a sense
of the room.
JOSHUA: Well, you have been on the show quite a few times, (GIVES UP) Okay, well you’re
here now. But maybe you don’t want to be bothered with questions like these okay, so
you don’t want this sort of stuff, you can go back to the dressing room-
ANGEL: Oh I don’t mind. He can ask me a question (AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
JOSHUA: Okay, great, Let’s find out if her favorite color is green, or red, or whatever.
KURT: Hi Angela, Hi. So I’m in constant awe of the way that you are able to switch effortlessly
between the stage and on the screen. But what I would love to know is when you are
preparing for a theatrical role, is it a very different process to when you do a piece of
television or film
JOSHUA: Right, you could’ve asked me that! I also have done those things. I could’ve answered
too- It doesn’t matter, go on, go on. (GETTING IRRITATED) That could have been-
Angela, go for it Angela.
ANGELA: That’s actually a wonderful question (AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
JOSHUA: It is! It is a good question.
ANGELA: My answer is that, the preparation is quite the same, pretty much the same really. I
do everything I can to fully inhibit each of the character I play, regardless of the
 medium. I’ll do that down to the very last detail.in which, I’m telling you, it can be kind
of hard to shake off.
JOSHUA: Wow, that is a great answer, a bit pretentious (AUDIENCE LAUGHS) but that’s
okay. Angela Pentecostes, everybody there we go!
(AUDIENCE CLAPS AND CHEERS)
JOSHUA: a nice treat, a nice treat! (ANGELA BIDS GOODBYE AND MAKES HER EXIT)

RODELYN: Hi
JOSHUA: Hi!
RODELYN: So watching the show, it is clear that you’re a man of amusement that has
impeccable taste.
JOSHUA: (LOOKS DELIGHTED) Thanks very much.
RODELYN: So I was just wondering, what would your second favorite color be?
(AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
JOSHUA: Oh god, is this a joke?
RODELYN: No.
JOSHUA: What is my favorite color? What am I, Five? Who has a second favorite color? Can
we move on from the color thing, please? And just do or ask anything about the show.
Someone has to have a proper question here! (SPOTS SOMEONE FROM THE
AUDIENCE) Yes, yes the lady here, I should’ve asked you from the start, what is your
question, go for it.
ERIKA: Hi uhm another question but it’s for Angela’s bestfriend (AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
JOSHUA: Oh for God’s sake, she is not here, Chona is not here! She’s with Angela in the
dressing room who just walked off and left-
(ANGELA AND CHONA WALTZ IN THE ROOM FROM THE BACK)
CHONA: No, no, no we’re here! (AUDIENCE LAUGHS AND CLAPS)
(JOSHUA LAUGHS ALONG WITH THE CROWD)
JOSHUA: What-
CHONA AND ANGELA: Hi Joshua!
JOSHUA: You literally went that way, how did you went up there, now with Chona- it doesn’t
matter, it is wonderful! What’s the question?
ERIKA: Oh thanks, Angela, Chona, I’m a big fan of yours so I have to ask this for Chona,
What has been the biggest challenge hosting the Grammy’s?
JOSHUA: Oh for God’s sake! I also hosted the Grammy’s you could’ve asked me! (AUDIENCE
LAUGHS) Ive hosted the Grammy’s
CHONA: Now now Joshua, I think I’m a little more qualified to answer that question
(AUDIENCE LAUGHS) I’ve hosted the Grammy’s four times.
JOSHUA: Yeah, but I’ve done a lot more Grammy’s recently than you have-
ANGELA: but Joshua, she also won a Grammy!
JOSHUA: I’ve also won a Grammy! I’ve won a Grammy!
CHONA: (LOOKS DOUBTFUL) Have you? (AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
JOSHUA: Yes! You hosted the awards when I won it! Even Angela was there!
CHONA: There were a lot of people who won Grammy’s that night (AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
JOSHUA: well okay alright, to answer your question, hosting the Grammy’s is amazing, it’s
great. We both agree, who else has a question. (SOMEONE STANDS UP) Yes, yes this
man right here, yes, what is your question?
ALLEN: Well yeah, Angela, Chona-
JOSHUA: Oh God!
ALLEN: You two are one of the most talented people in the world
JOSHUA: Yeah one of, one of. The three of us are taleneted you know.(AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
ALLEN: You can do almost everything in the showbiz, so I was just wondering would you ever
consider hosting a late night show like this one? (AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
CHONA: You know honestly that’s a very very interesting question.
ANGELA: Yeah it would probably be a little bit of a step down for us.
(AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
ANGELA: But I certainly think, honesly I think that we could do it because me and Chona
would just do all the things that we do already
CHONA: Yeah, but we would do them in a much smaller way. (AUDIENCE LAUGHS)You
know what I mean? Less pressure.
JOSHUA: Less pressure??? Well Let’s see if you can do it now, okay, because thereobviously
people here who are more interested in you anyway, so go for it go!
ANGELA: Oh no!
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
JOSHUA: Yeah, yeah.
CHONA: Absolutely not, we won’t take over your show it would be a mess.
JOSHUA: Oh you have to! You know why? Cause I quit! Okay? I quit! Hell no! I’m done! I’m
up here night after night after night. Coming through that- oh, you want another trump
joke? Go find it on your own! Go sit in the freaking car with Britney Spears oh! Iám
done, I am done okay. It’s over, I’m out okay! You know what my favorite color is! Go
find it out yourselves! (GOING HYSTERICAL) (AUDIENCE LAUGHS AND
CHEERS) Screw you, I’m out! (JOSHUA EXITS)
(AUDIENCE STILL CLAPPING)
