Emma: Hi, Jimmy! Thank you for having me.

Jimmy: It is great to have you here. So, "Little Women" is getting a lot of buzz and has received rave reviews. What was it like working on a film with such a talented cast?

Emma: It was amazing. I have been a fan of Greta Gerwig's work for a long time and getting to work with her and this incredible cast was a dream come true.

Jimmy: You also recently attended the United Nations Climate Summit. Can you tell us a little bit about that experience?

Emma: Yes, it was one of the most inspiring experiences of my life. I was there to represent the organization I work with, HeForShe, and was able to speak about the importance of climate action and how it intersects with gender equality.

David: Hey, Jimmy! Thanks for having me.

Jimmy: It is great to have you here. So, you have a new show on Amazon Prime called "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel". Can you tell us about your character and what drew you to the role?

David: Sure! My character's name is Glen and he is a stand-up comedian who is trying to make it in the business. What drew me to the role was the writing. The show is so well-written and the characters are all so interesting and complex.

Jimmy: You also have a lot of experience as a writer and director. What do you think is the key to creating a successful comedy?

David: I think the key is to just keep trying. Not every joke is going to land, but you have to keep pushing yourself and trying new things. And of course, having a great team of writers and actors is crucial.

Jimmy: Our final guest tonight is a musician who has been making hits for over 20 years. Her latest album, "Lover", has been topping the charts and she is here tonight to perform one of her newest songs, "Christmas Tree Farm". Please welcome, Taylor Swift!

[Cut to Taylor Swift walking out on stage as the audience cheers]

Jimmy: Taylor, it is always a pleasure to have you on the show. "Lover" has been a huge success and your fans are loving the new album. What was your inspiration behind "Christmas Tree Farm"?

Taylor: Well, I grew up on a Christmas tree farm in Pennsylvania and it has always been a really special place for me. I wanted to write a song that captures the magic of Christmas and the nostalgia of going back home.

Jimmy: Well, we are so excited to hear you perform it tonight. Take it away, Taylor Swift!
