to "The Tonight Show: At Home Edition."

I love you. Thank you so much

for honoring your word and talking to me today.

-Like, I'm so sorry. [ Laughs ]

-No, no, honestly, we thought we had a big announcement,

and then, honestly, things --

It's becoming an even bigger announcement,

and so we had to wait.

-We weren't quite ready yet,

and I really appreciate you being so nice about it,

and thank you. And I love you.

I love your viewers and everyone at home watching.

I just wish everybody well. -We love you all, too,

and it turned out to be really kind of a fun bit for us

and got a lot of people talking

and getting a lot of people excited

about what we're about to discuss tonight.

First of all, how are you doing

besides working hard on this new, giant project,

and where are you?

-Well, I'm doing great.

Thank you for asking. I feel very blessed.

I hope you're doing well, too.

-Yep.

-I'm in --

Actually, we're in my office.

We decided to quarantine in the family office.

So, there's just a small group of us

that are all in the office together

just in case we need to work on anything.

-How many people did you quarantine with,

and how long have you been in quarantine?

-There's about six of us.

-Oh, wow. That's a lot.

It's ♪ Getting to know you ♪

-♪ Getting to know all ♪

-[ Laughs ] -Yeah, it's very --

You know, you just --

You're -- But every day, we find the time

to just look in each other's eyes

and go, "I love you. Mean it."

Very closely. -"I love you. Mean it."

-But you know what? The truth is we really know

and respect how hard people are working right now.

I mean, there are so many healthcare workers

on the front line responding to COVID-19,

and we've spent a lot of time learning about it.

We've spent a lot of time, you know, reading about it,

watching about it, and we always take moments of gratitude

throughout the day to remind ourselves that, you know, we --

We have it very good, actually,

and I -- -Yeah.

-I say that with a lot of respect and gravity.

You know, I was talking to someone the other day

about, you know, this messaging of we're all in this together.

And while I think the sentiment is nice, you know,

I also think that the fight that I'm in or that you're in, right,

is very different than the fight

of a woman that is in perhaps an abusive relationship

and has a child and lost her job

and can't feed her kid and can't feed herself

and also can't get the help that she needs

because she's in a violent situation.

You know, there's things that are going on in the underbelly

not only of this country, but in countries all over the world.

And I've been really focusing a lot of my energy

on figuring out how I can help, because we are --

We all want this to end,

but being in this all together, that's a tricky statement

because what that woman is in, I want to honor

that that woman is not in the same fight that I'm in,

and I want to help her fight that fight.

-Yeah, you're right. And you actually really are --

I know you just celebrated a birthday while quarantining.

So, happy belated birthday.

-Thank you.

I'm 34.

-What was that?

Hey, that's --

I remember it. I remember it well.

It's a great year.

-I remember telling my friend Bo, my best friend since I was 5

whom I work with and live with now also,

I remember when she turned 34,

I said, "You're still in your early 30s."

And she said, "No, it's your mid-30s,"

and I said, "No, it's not."

I said, "It's still early 30s." And then I turned 34,

and I was like, "It's totally mid-30s."

-[ Laughs ] No, no, no.

-Yeah, it is.

-You're a baby still. You're a baby.

But I know that you -- You celebrated a little bit, right?

Your quarantine family baked you a cake.

But in the midst of that, you have been on the phone

talking to World Health Organization

and seeing what you can do about COVID-19

in the middle of having a birthday

and mid-celebrations or anything.

-Well, you know, birthdays are birthdays.

They come and go.

Global pandemics don't happen all the time.

-[ Chuckling ] Yeah, that's true.

-You know, I sort of felt like, you know, it was really sweet,

everybody, they -- My friend made me a cake,

and everyone gathered for dinner that night.

But yeah, we've been on the phone a lot,

and I've been speaking at length

with the World Health Organization,

and Dr. Tedros called me and asked me if I would help curate

this special on television with Global Citizen.

And I learned more about what they do, which is incredible.

So, there's something called

the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund,

and it's something that was set up

specifically for the pandemic.

And what they do is, number one, they get equipment and treatment

to all sorts of medical healthcare workers.

Number two, they are very, very focused on getting tests,

and that includes home tests as well as send-in tests.

Three, they focus on vaccines.

So, there's 10 major biotech companies

that are working right now on these vaccines,

and they want to donate across the board,

because if they trial them all at the same time,

if one hits, we get it faster,

as opposed to doing one at a time, then it's slower.

-Oh, interesting. -And the fourth thing

that they do is they have just very up-to-date,

credible information on COVID-19

from the best scientists and doctors in the world.

So, they're a wonderful organization,

and they work for the U.N.

The W.H.O. is an agency to the U.N.

So, it's an international effort.

So, the fundraising that we're doing is for the world.

-I saw you tweeted the importance

about being kind right now.

Can you just double down on that? Because I agree with you.

Kindness is a great -- really great,

something we should focus on right now.

-You know, I have always believed in kindness,

and I think that what's so true about times like now

is that there is financial currency, right?

But then there's kindness currency,

and they're both equally as important.

And I think there's a lot of people

that are at home right now

that are wondering how they can help,

and they feel like they can't, and they don't know how to,

and one of the ways that you can is to be kind.

And you being kind every day helps make it better

for all the people that are scrambling at home

or scrambling with their families,

because it's not easy for them,

and they don't have the time to sit around

and think about what they could be doing to help.

They're trying to figure out

where their next meal's going to go for their child.

I mean, it really breaks my heart

that there's so many kids in this country

that their one meal from public school -- from public school

was all they were getting,

and now they don't get that one meal.

So, you know, this is --

This is a catastrophe, and in a time of catastrophe,

kindness is the most important thing.

We must be compassionate to each other.

And I think also self-awareness while you're being kind

and making sure that you know what you have and what you don't

and that you take those moments to have gratitude.

-And it doesn't cost you anything to be kind.

-Nope, kindness is totally free.
