Deon Cole visits "The Talk" to celebrate Sheryl Underwood's birthday and discusses his new movie "The Harder They Fall." On getting the call to work on the Jay-Z produced film alongside Jonathan Majors, Idris Elba, Regina King and Lakeith Stanfield, Cole says, "I was blown away. I almost hung up. I thought somebody was playing with me...to be honest with you, I was so blown to be in the midst of these people. I admire these people, when I was there, I was like really taken aback. I didn't know what to do, what to think, what to feel. But, I just ended up thinking like man, if I'm going to play this serious character with them, then I'm gonna have to pick up on what they do." Cole also reacts to performing standup live again. "It has been amazing to be back on the road. Man, to see the people, and everybody so excited to be out and enjoy themselves. And so, everybody needs laughter right now."
