You've just become a British citizen.

-That's right.

And that's Freddie Mercury there.

I brought him with me.

Yeah, because my brother and I were born in the '60s,

and so our mother's English.

And so there was this whole thing that they would not let

the kids of that time become dual citizens.

And then they finally, like, revoked that.

So my brother did it like 10 years ago.

And I started to get nervous.

So, I was like, "If I have the opportunity

to have another passport..." -'Cause that window might close?

Yeah. -Yeah.

-That's kind of cool, though. Collect as many as you can.

-Yeah. [ Laughter ]

-Why not, man?

-So I was like, I think this would be a great thing.

My mother became a citizen when Clinton was President.

And she was sworn in with thousands and thousands

and thousands of people.

And it was extremely emotional.

And they played "I'm Proud to be an American."

-Sure.

-♪ Proud to be an American ♪

And everybody -- Like, I was bawling.

It was insane.

And then I go to this little office in Century City

with like 19 other people who came in from,

like, Las Vegas or whatever.

And there was this guy and he looked at me.

He goes, "Pam!"

And I was like, "What?"

And he was like --

It was one of the writers from "King of the Hill."

And, like, you can't, like, find a consulate anywhere.

But he and I applied at the same time.

So it was kind of a random English awakening.

-I don't know if a lot people know that you are the voice

of Bobby from "King of the Hill."

[ Cheers and applause ] -[ as Bobby ] Yes, sir.

-That's amazing. -Yes, sir. Yes.

I can't believe I'm on "The Tonight Show."

I'm in Hollywood. [ Cheers and applause ]

I got the Roots and Questlove.

-[ Laughs ] Oh, my God.

I mean, what an unbelievable, really, career you've had.

-[ Normal voice ] It's like a weird -- It's a weird career.

-How do you get into the voice thing?

-I started doing voices when I was younger.

I would imitate cartoons.

My mother would, like, put me to bed.

And she would do accents with me, because she's English.

So she would do, like, any kind of accent.

-Yeah. -Tell me stories.

And, you know, like I would watch, like, "The Wacky Races"

and "Snagglepuss" and I -- -"Snagglepuss."

-"Snagglepuss exit stage left.

We've been ousted, dismissed, defied even."

[ Laughter ]

But I remember that -- -I love "Snagglepuss."

-Nobody remembers. -It doesn't matter.

-We remember. -I remember. It's the best.

-How old is everybody? -I love "Snagglepuss."

-Whatever. [ Laughter ]

But yeah, it's something that was -- I was able to

pay my rent, put food on my table doing voice-over.

And I wasn't getting -- I couldn't get arrested, like,

on-camera or any kind of acting job.

-Well, you're definitely getting arrested now in a good way.

-Thank God.

-"Better Things." -Yeah.

-You won a Peabody Award. -Yeah.

-I mean, this is, like, seriously this --

It's a great show. [ Cheers and applause ]

-You don't know what that is. -It's a great show.

It's a great award, by the way.

It looks cool. That's a cool award to have.

-That was an amazing place to be because we were in a room

with like -- Ava was there, and, like, all these CNN heroes.

And I was with these war correspondents.

Like, it was important.

-But how are you doing all this?

How are you writing all of this and directing

and producing and starring in it

with keeping the quality up?

-You know, I mean, I'm in it.

So I'm there already.

So I figure I might as well direct it.

And then I figure might as well write it and run it.

-I'm sure. Yeah, might as well.

Yeah. -You know?

I mean, it's not -- it's not as hard

as being a single mom to three girls.

So that was kind of my boot camp.

-There you go. Yeah.

-Yeah. -Absolutely.

And it is based on your life.

-Yeah. Right? I have the English mother.

I have the three girls.

And it's been kind of an incredible thing

because I'm a journeyman actor.

Like, I have been kicking around since 11 years old.

And so I would have actors come on my show that I love,

like Diedrich Bader and -- you know, who I've been working with

for years in animation studios,

doing voices and things like that.

And so, I would keep them in the back of my head and say,

"One day if I'm a boss, I'm gonna put you in my thing."

And so, I have these people come on, and they're like --

They walk around the set.

They're like, "Yo, Pam. This is you?"

And I'm like, "I don't even know. It's us."

So it's like -- It's really, like,

one of the regular guys kind of.

-Winning? -A little bit.

-Good for you. That's a great story. Yeah.

-Thank you.
