Lupita Nyong'o

Now for those of you who don't know how to read, they're telling you that this is the exact same trailer you can see this Friday during previews before the showing of the new Fox animated classic, Ice Age.

My guest tonight is an Academy Award-winning actor who can be seen in the highly anticipated Star Wars, The Rise of Skywalker.

She's also written a children's book called Sulwe.

Please welcome Lupita Nyong'o.

Welcome back to the show.

Thank you very much.

And let's start by saying congratulations on all of your nominations.

How many nominations do you have?

Welcome back to the show.

Let's start off by talking about Star Wars.

New movie coming out.

Maz Kanata.

Maz Kanata is your character.

Yes.
