00:05

as well as shows such as "86" and "The Umbrella Academy."

00:08

Her first essay collection, "No One Asked For This,"

was a New York Times bestseller.

00:12

Her latest, "Delusions: Of Grandeur, of Romance, of Progress"

00:17

one of our favorites, Cazzie David, everybody!

00:20

[ Cheers and applause ]

00:33

Hello, Cazzie. How are you?

00:35

-Uh...

00:37

[ Laughter ]

00:38

Um, yeah. No. I'm good.

00:41

-Yeah.

00:42

I mean, you know, we've talked about this

00:44

both backstage and on camera,

00:46

in your multiple appearances on the show, you get very...

00:49

you're anxious about this.

00:51

-Yeah. No, there's been, like, a countdown clock

00:53

for the last few weeks. -Right.

00:55

-Where I've just been, like, freaking out.

00:57

-Yeah. -And I can't do anything else.

00:59

Like, my entire family is actually in town

01:02

for my sister's 30th birthday. -Yeah.

01:05

-They were not happy about my pub date,

01:07

by the way, which... her birthday is today.

01:10

My book about my 30th birthday releases today.

01:13

-Oh. That's...

01:14

-You can imagine. -I mean, that's...

01:16

That's a real sister crime. -Yeah. No.

01:19

It was pretty good, though. [ Laughter ]

01:22

But yeah, so, they all are asking me, like,

01:24

"Oh, do you want to go get a drink?

01:25

Do you want to go for a walk?"

01:27

And I'm like, "I can't, I have to freak out."

01:29

[ Laughter ] You know?

01:31

So, I have to, like...

01:32

allot all this time to just freaking out.

01:34

And that's what I've been doing. -Gotcha.

01:36

So, I guess, the end of this question would be, like,

01:40

do you enjoy this at all?

01:41

[ Laughter ]

01:43

-No, no, no. It's like, also, this is the dream, right?

01:45

Is to be able to come on this show.

01:47

-Thank you. -This is the worst thing...

01:49

[ Cheers and applause ]

01:50

You're welcome. Yeah.

01:52

It's the worst thing that can happen to you.

01:54

-Gotcha. [ Laughter ]

01:56

I'm, like, I'm the level of nervous

01:59

that, like, an Olympian probably is.

02:01

[ Laughter ]

02:02

Which, like, I...that's why I can't watch the Olympics.

02:04

Because they're just too nervous.

02:06

-They are. I will say, you know,

02:07

I can't watch any of the Olympics

02:09

where falling is an option.

02:11

-Oh, for sure. -I 100% agree.

02:13

-Isn't that all Olympics?

02:14

-I will say, in the Winter Olympics,

02:16

it's a lot of falling

02:18

because that's a surface that's, like, so...

02:20

I mean, ice and snow are, like, begging you to fall.

02:22

-Right. Yeah. -Yeah.

02:24

So, I totally understand.

02:25

So, you didn't watch a lot of the Olympics?

02:26

-No, I don't watch the Olympics.

02:27

-So, for the two weeks before this moment right now,

02:30

do you get more and more nervous
