[Emily Osment]

Welcome back, everybody. Ladies and gentlemen, you. You all know my next guest from the Kominsky Method. Pretty smart and young Sheldon. She now stars in the CBS sitcom Georgie and Mandy's First Marriage.

Here, let me help you with those. Thanks. Guess who I saw at the grocery store? Susan Marcus. She saw you on TV this morning. Aw. How's she doing? Who cares? She saw you on tv. After all those years having to hear about her son, the podiatrist. Yeah, well, we showed her. I am so proud of you. A full time position. Thanks, Mom. Why don't you seem more excited?

I'm excited.

Look at my face. Excited. Amanda. No, I really am. There's just one little thing I have to deal with. Oh, honey, you can just wax that right off.

Please. Welcome to the Late Show. Emily Osment. Welcome. Welcome to the show. Nice to see you. I understand this is your first late night show you've ever been on.

Yes, yes, it is. Yeah. Do you feel lucky? A little bit, maybe.

I don't. I don't ever like to say to a beautiful young woman, I feel like I'm getting lucky.

That's fair, that's fair. We can move on.

That'd be inappropriate to say.

Absolutely.

First of all, congratulations on the show getting picked up for a second season. That's nice. All that tension at the end of the year, you don't know what's going to go on. The nicest thing is that now you can go on hiatus, which is something that some TV people have. We don't have it. We work all summer.

My goodness.

But you guys take the summer off. What are you gonna do? Do you have big trips planned?

Well, I mean, it's really, really nice to go into a season two knowing that you've had this break and you get to go back to something great.

So you have employment when the season.

You have employment when it's over, which is rare and you don't take for granted. But so I try to get out in nature as much as I can. Cause as you know, you're inside in a studio for most of the time.

Right.

So I'm taking my second trip to the Grand Canyon. I'm going to raft the Colorado.

Oh, wow. That can be. That can be kind of rugged. Are you rugged? Are you like camping while you're down there and everything?

It's called pack rafting. So you take everything you need, you put it on the raft, you do the Colorado and then you pack rafting. So you hike down, you hike one vertical mile down and then you get on the raft and you float down the river.

You pack the raft?

No, somebody else packs the raft. But you pack your personal belongings and you carry that down and then you hop off. It's like there's sandy beaches everywhere. And you camp. You sleep on the sand.

Do you often camp?

Yes, I love to camp.

You enjoy camping?

I love to camp.

So you do not enjoy sleeping?

Yes, correct. Yeah.

Because I don't mind being out in nature, but I cannot stand sleeping on something hard.

Well, you're so tired after you've hiked. It kind of just happens without you realizing it. And you just sort of. You just pass out from exhaustion.

Okay. Have you done this a lot?

Yes, yes. I'm not making it sound fun, but yes, I have.

Well, for certain people, that sounds fun. Is that what this is? Because I was given a photo Is that what that is?

Yes. Yes. That was my first trip. We did 287 miles of the Colorado River.

So am I mistaken? Is that I had this. Is that Demi Moore at the top?

Yes, it is.

Does she rough it?

She did on this trip and she crushed it. I mean, she's G.I. jane. I would expect nothing less, but it was a surprise. We didn't know who was going to be on this trip. I got chosen to go on this amazing adventure and she happened to be on the trip and I spent 10 days with her.

Who chose you? You got chosen? Was it a contest?

No. There's this. I wish it felt like it. There's this wonderful environmentalist named Tilly Walton and she puts together a trip every year to help raise awareness about river conservation. And so I got chosen to go because she knows I'm an outdoor person that doesn't like to sleep.

Are you. But are you okay? That's good.

Thank you.

It's wrong. Other people are rougher than I am. You can take it. I can't. You do it like. I don't like adventure stuff. Do you like to skydive or bungee.

Jump, all that stuff? No, I don't skydive. My dad used to skydive. That's something I don't think I could ever. I could ever do.

Yeah. No, I can't.

That seems more dangerous. A little bit.

I bungee'd once and I'm still really waiting for it to seem like a good idea.

Where did you bungee?

In New Zealand? I jumped off a bridge.

Wow.

Are there kiwis here?

Oh, wow. Look at that.

Wow. Yeah, they're gonna jump off the balcony later. Yeah, I don't recommend. I don't recommend.

Okay, well, we'll get it.

I know, it's terrifying. Even when it's over, you seem athletic. I was talking to you backstage. I'd heard you pole vaulted.

Well, not actually really pole vaulted, but my grandfather has a world record in track and field and so I grew up going. Spending my summer.

So you're from an athletic family?

Yes, very much so. OK. Yeah.

So what were your events?

My events? The 50 yard dash and surprisingly for my height, the hurdles.

Oh, wow. You can get it up there.

Yeah, yeah. I was very fast and I at the time could jump very high. Now it hurts to get out of bed in the morning.

So now you guys have got a little southern accent in this show. You have a genuine southern accent and I can hear in the background.

You can because you're Southern as Well.

I am from South Carolina.

Oh, amazing. I'm from Los Angeles, but my family.

You're from Southern California.

I'm from Southern California. That's right.

That's right.

But my parents are both from Birmingham, Alabama.

I think you caught a little bit of it from them. Do you go there ever?

Yeah, I try to go back and still got family there and everything to visit my grandfather.

Do you slip into a drawl when you're down there?

After a while, it's so hard not to. And especially with the show that I work on. My co star Montana is from east Texas, and his. His southern draw is very thick.

Draws are comfortable.

They are.

They're like an easy chair.

They really are. Should we do it for the rest of the year?

Why are we taking so long to get to the end of the sentence? I don't.

I don't know. We got nothing else to do.

It's just seven o' clock. We got nothing to do and all day to do it, sister. All day. What about southern dishes when you're back? I see. When I go home, there's certain things I have to eat when I'm in South Carolina. What's your southern dish?

I grew up with my mom eating cheese grits.

Sure, sure.

I love. I don't know if everybody knows what that is.

Yeah, it looks gross. Yeah. It's grits that have cheese in them.

Correct.

It's a complicated recipe.

It's very complicated. There's about maybe two or three ingredients, and it's fantastic. So that's.

Something's gotta get the grits flavor. It's either gonna be. It's gonna be butter, salt or cheese.

Yeah. And that's it. Nothing else.

Or some bacon or something like that. Oh, shrimp and grits.

Shrimp and grits.

That's where we come from. We call it hominy. We don't call it grits. We call it hominy. Cause Charleston is fancy.

Mm. Yeah. So I've heard.

That's the way they think a lot of themselves. Well, it's so lovely to meet you.

Oh, thank you so much for having me.

Have fun. Be safe on your rafting trip out there.

Thank you. Yeah.

Say hi to Demi.
