Burbank, Los Angeles, November 26th 2023

Ellen – And now please welcome Jordan Wright!

Audience cheers, Ellen gets off of her seat and I go next to her for a hug.

I look for the audience and smile and wave at them.

It's pretty exciting to be on a talkshow.

And Ellen's audience is quite cheerful and strong.

Ellen – How are you?

Jordan - I'm good. How are you Ellen?

Ellen – I'm good too.

Ellen – You look great!

Ellen – Thank you. You do too. Beautiful.

Ellen – Thanks.

Jordan – I'm so nervous, I'm shaking.

Ellen – Why so? We're so excited to have you here.

Jordan – Oh thank you.

Ellen – Congratulations on your performance in Dreaming Nights!

Audience claps and cheers.

Jordan (for the audience) – Thank you.

Ellen (to the audience) – Wasn't he great?

The audience answers positively.

Ellen – So how hard it was for you to shoot that movie?

Ellen – Since you worked with your boyfriend and your ex-boyfriend on the set.

Jordan - It wasn't that awkward because prior to the shootings.

Jordan – I mean prior to the thought of creating this movie.

Jordan – Roderick, Samuel and I started a new friendship.

Jordan – There isn't no awkward moments, nor jealousy from Roderick.

Jordan – The three of us get along pretty well. So it wasn't that hard.

Ellen – But I heard there were times that you would arrive late on set and wanted to not shoot scenes.

Jordan – What you hear sometimes is not the truth.

Jordan – People like to distort things and make things up.

Jordan – I mean it is true that I arrived late sometimes but who hasn't?!

Jordan – This past month has got me so busy that sometimes I wish I could have freetime.

Jordan – But that doesn't mean that I would like a day off or not going to the movie studios.

Ellen – Sure I understand. Actors, mostly actors on the rise are put through a lot.

Ellen – They have to be marketed either way they just fade away.

Jordan – Yes I think that's it. It's just a lot to ask though... but I can do it.

Jordan (looking at the audience) – And I have done it.

Everybody claps and cheers. Somebody shouts my name.

Ellen – So what about last night?!

In the screen behind us, appears the newspaper headline about what didn't actually happen.

But also appears the photographs that prove what did really happen.

Jordan – Well you know how media like to sell fake stories.

Ellen – Tell me about it.

Jordan – Roderick is a lovely man but sometimes he gets mad at things that doesn't exist.

Jordan – He makes a drama out of nothing.

Jordan (serious) - But that headline is really fake and it's so stupid.

Jordan – Because the pictures show that I was in a table with Sam, my publicist and our head director.

Jordan – So how can people believe in the media?!

Ellen – Yeah it's pretty stupid. I actually laughed, don't get me wrong.

Ellen – Because they tried to tarnish your image but they were so stupid that they didn't even use the right weapons.

Jordan – Right?! Gosh, people can be so ignorant.

Ellen – But tell me. What are you going to do next?

Jordan – I don't know, maybe I'll go on a vacation to Ibiza.

Ellen – But a little bird has told me that you are going to be part of the revival of Kinky Boots?!

Jordan (surprised) – Oh! Well... I'm considering it.

Ellen – Which character will you play?

Jordan – Lola. I'm always the lead.

Jordan – And even though I don't have a dark complexion they still want me to star in.

Ellen – It's good to know that Broadway is playing out of their comfort zone.

Ellen – I mean they are turning everything that it was there and giving another twist.

Ellen – Now they're casting a white male actor to play a dark skinned drag queen. Isn't that awesome?!

Everybody cheers and agrees with Ellen.

Jordan – Yes it is quite amazing. You know society has been changing.

Jordan – Well changing is not the right word, evolving.

Jordan – 2016 kicked in as the year where it was shown that gender roles are restricting and that minorities should have a voice.

Jordan – From that year, boys are allowed to wear makeup, there's a lot of genderfluid people and women aren't expected to fulfill society's norms.

Jordan – Listen, here in show business we play drug addicts, thieves.

Jordan – Why shouldn't we be allowed to play roles that "aren't" designed for our genders?!

Ellen – You're right. That's the message that has been spread since 2016 and with that a lot of our society was changed.

Ellen – But in a comedic note, aren't you nervous to play a dark skinned drag queen?

Jordan - I am a bit. Because I haven't had many contact with the art of drag.

Jordan – Crossdressing is known in theater since Shakespeare epoque.

Jordan – But drag is not just dressing as the opposite gender. There's a lot behind it.

Ellen – Well after the break we're going to play a little game for our hot great star Mr. Wright.

Break

Jordan – Oh my god Ellen I can't believe I made it this far!

Ellen – You're doing quite good. You're really a good talker and I love it.

Ellen – Try just to be a bit more fun and loose. Let yourself go.

Ellen – You have this stiff and serious image that I like but people want to see you bare.

Ellen – Try to show parts of you that will let people say, hey I can relate to him, okay?!

Jordan – Okay, thank you for your advice. I'm really a serious person but I will let myself go a bit.

After the break

Ellen – We're here with Mr. Wright.

Ellen – Even though he has boyfriend, we're going to play this game called "Who'd You Rather".

I'm smiling. How does this game goes by?!

Will I show a bit of sexyness and sultry while playing it?! Let's just go with flow.

The game intro appears and then Ellen is going to speak.

Jordan (wink) – Will the people of the game will contact me?!

Jordan – Just for a talk, I'm a compromised man.

Ellen (laughs) - Well it depends on your choices.

Ellen – You will see how the game works.

Ellen – But who knows?!

Jordan – Great. Bring it on!

Everybody laughs.

Ellen – So we show you two pictures of celebrities and we're going to narrowing it down.

Ellen – Until we find the person that is going to be your perfect "hot date".

Jordan – I like what I'm hearing.

Ellen – Alright let's start with the first two.

In the screen behind us appear photos of Chris Pine and Theo James.

Jordan – Oh lord.

The female audience members start to howl.

Jordan – They're just too hot for words. Sorry Roderick.

Ellen (laughing) – Pick one.

Jordan – Well Chris Pine looks a bit old, he is like a daddy type of style which I like.

Jordan – But damn who wouldn't choose Theo James?! He's so fine. And a complete gentleman.

Ellen – So is it Theo James?!

Jordan – Yes. Without a doubt.

The picture of Theo James stays but another celebrity photo appears and it is Ian Somerhalder.

Ellen – Now it's between Theo and Ian.

Jordan – Oh god this is hard. And I like it that is no girls, all men.

Jordan – Ian has this amazing eyes, and that jawline. I could stare at him forever.

Ellen – So who is it?!

Jordan – Now Theo compared to Ian, looks like a baby.

Jordan – I mean he has a baby face. So I'll go with Ian.

Audience cheers and howls.

Jordan – Sorry Theo, please don't take this as an offense, you're still hot.

Audience laughs.

Now next to Ian's photo is Channing Tatum photo.

Jordan – Oh!

Audience howls and screams.

Jordan – He's dreamy. And surprisingly he is not a douchebag like he is portrayed in movies.

Jordan – He's a sweetheart. So I'll go with Channing.

Ellen laughs.

Jordan – I wouldn't mind him to Channing my Tatum anytime he wants.

Audience laughs and gets surprised.

Ellen (laughing uncontrollably) – Oh honey you're not supposed to say that on air.

Jordan (faking guilty) – I'm sorry.

Channing's photo is next to Kanye West photo.

Ellen – So, Channing or Kanye West?

Jordan – Kanye who?!

Jordan – Who's that?!

Audience gasps and snaps fingers.

Ellen laughs.

Ellen – He is a rapper and married to Kim Kardashian.

Jordan – I know. I just don't get his "music".

Ellen – So Channing Tatum?!

Jordan – Is that even a question?! Sure.

Ellen – So Channing Tatum or Zac Efron.

Jordan – Oh dear. Zac Efron. Hottest guy in the world in my opinion.

Ellen – Zac Efron or Liam Hemsworth?

Jordan – Sorry Zac, but I'm going with Liam because he is really hot and blonde.

Jordan – And I'm starting to appreciate blonde guys.

Ellen – So a battle of brothers. Liam Hemsworth or Chris Hemsworth?

Jordan – Liam still. Chris is too bulk for me.

Audience starts booing.

Jordan – Oh sorry but it's all about preferences.

Ellen – Yeah I guess.

Ellen – Liam Hemsworth or Jared Padalecki?

Jordan – Jared he is so sweet and handsome. Please get me his number.

Ellen - Well I guess we found your "hot date".

Ellen – Jared Padalecki. I'll make sure that he will contact you within a few days.

Jordan (jokingly) – Thank you Ellen. I'm so happy I could cry but I don't have the time.

I laugh along with Ellen and the audience.

Ellen – And there it is folks, Jordan Wright, or Mr. Wright as he is addressed as.

Ellen – Thank you everybody.

Ellen – Thank you Jordan.

Ellen – My assistant is going to give you Ellen underwear so you don't run out of underwear.

Jordan – I'll be sure to use it everyday. And proudly.

Jordan – Thank you Ellen.

I wave at the audience and the camera start to shut down.

My publicist goes grab me and drive me to the airport.

We have to get in a flight to New York. But as we are driving we go past the airport.

She surprises me with a private jet as a gift and we travel on it to New York.

Arriving in time to meet Roderick and Sam in my loft.

Everybody is proud of me. Roderick is still resentful but he is proud of me.

My publicist said I couldn't handle this in a better way.

She pops a bottle of Dom Perignon and we all celebrate.

With me there's always celebrations I don't settle without some Dom Perignong.

I need to rest a bit, I'll take a nap and then I'll go to my jacuzzi.
