“I loved your episode of who, who do you think you are? So you think you can dance? Oh, where are you from? The PBS one? Yes. Finding Your Roots. Yes. That's the serious one. And it was so good. And so, for people that didn't see it, you were looking, kind of hoping to help your mom find her birth father.”
