Do I give the runner-up name or the winner name’ so that’s why I said ‘and the runner up’ and they were in my ear ‘No no no!!’ and I was like ‘ok ya’ll need to stop changing things around on a live show.’”Anthony Anderson reveals the tight bond he, Jelly Roll, Chrissy Teigen and Sarah Michelle Gellar have When looking back at the talent that came across the “Star Search” stage, Anderson revealed that if he had the chance, which act he would buy a ticket to go see perform, “I’m not just gonna name one, I would go see everyone that we had on that stage. But everybody that the stage, I would pay and sit in the audience and watch.” But what will he miss most about his tenure on the show? The “Black-ish” alum says, “I’m going to miss sharing the stage with the talent. Every time they come on and go off, I tell them, ‘Yo, you’re going to go on to do great things and I’m going to say ‘I was there.’ I’m going to be able to say ‘remember when?’ so that’s what I’m excited about. I love working with Jelly Roll and Chrissy and Sarah, that’s a bond that we have.” Star Search Live.
