That’s exactly what happened when formerDatelineanchorKatie Couricbecame the interviewee on theEverything Iconic with Danny Pellegrinopodcast.
Washington replied, “I don’t know what Hollywood folks are, first of all.
Hollywood is a town that has some stars on the sidewalk.

I don’t know anybody from there.
So, I don’t … that’s like saying … calling you a bang out of folks.
I’m not a Hollywood folk.

I don’t know who they are.”
“I’m a human being.
My job is acting.”
Did the exchange make Couric feel any differently about Washington?
“I love him.
I admire him so much.
He’s one of my favorite actors.
