When it comes to tips, John Leguizamo is as generous as it gets.
The actor, who currently stars on the sci-fi series “The Power,” revealed in an interview with “Good Morning America” on Wednesday that he regularly carries $100 bills to tip waiters and clerks.
“Come on, this isn’t the ’70s,” Leguizamo joked. “You can’t tip with $20 bills. People will throw that back at you.”
“You have to give back,” he continued. “When people give you their best and you don’t tip them? Come on, who are you? I’m not a miser.’
While talking to “Good Morning America,” the actor also discussed “The Power,” a TV series adapted from the 2016 novel of the same name. Leguizamo plays Dr. Rob Lopez on the show, in which women develop the mystical ability to shoot electricity from their bodies.
“Can you imagine a world where women are taking over?” said Leguizamo. “It would be a great place. So that’s what this series is. Teenage girls through evolution develop an organ to protect themselves, and it gives them electricity – static shocks for some girls, nuclear explosions for other girls – and men are scared. It’s a great, scary, powerful series.”
In addition to “The Power”, Leguizamo hosted “The Daily Show” for a week in March. The actor’s stint turned out to be the second-largest average viewership since the comedy news program switched to guest hosts late last year after full-time host Trevor Noah left the show, according to The Wrap.
“It was wild, because now you’re going to be head of this whole department of 30 writers, producers,” explains Leguizamo. “You go in there, you tell them what news stories you care about, and they write to them. And then you get to shape the show. I have to make the guests all Latinx guys. The topics, I could pick topics. It’s incredible power and the best writers you’ve ever worked with.”
