Busy Philipps joining us today.
We're wearing -- you'll have to
tell us what we're wearing, but
talk about your new talk show.
>> These are Mr. Nightgowns.
>> They pretty much are.
>> They're actually not
nightgowns.
They're actually dresses by a
woman named Natalie martin,
Natalie martin collection.
>> Ooh!
>> But I would wear them -- I
had them at my house, and they
were my favorite things and I
would put them on like at the
end of the day, and my daughters
started calling them
Mr. Nightgown, like oh, do you
need to put Mr. Nightgown on?
So when I started my talk show
and I would do my Instagram
stories a lot of times wearing
Mr. Night gown.
So when I started my late-night
talk show, "Busy tonight,"
guys --
>> On "E!"
We had this idea that, like, at
the end of the show, I would
sort of like a la Mr. Rogers,
like a little nod to Mr. Rogers,
how he would change his coat?
>> I love that.
>> I would put on Mr. Night
gown, which means I'm unwind
'getting ready to settle down
and get comfortable.
>> Why is it not Mrs. Nightgown,
though?
>> Because cricket, my
5-year-old, she just gave it a
gender.
Like, I don't know.
My baby blanket when I was
little was a boy.
Like, I always called my baby
blanket a he, but certain
stuffed animals are girls, you
know what I mean?
>> All my dolls were Murphy.
I don't know.
>> But these are really
comfortable and cozy, and
they're chic.
>> It's like a chic little thing
to wear.
>> Natalie martin is like, thank
you, busy.
>> She is very excited about it,
I do have to say.
I want to do a collaboration
with her.
>> Let's talk about your
transformation into khrissy
Kardashian.
>> Oh, yeah, people love this.
>> This was fantastic.
>> Oh, boy.
There I am.
>> So, you went all out, glam,
latex -- what was it like
getting into that dress?
>> Honestly, okay, just totally
honestly, I felt very sexy.
Like, first I'm thinking about
putting on a rubber dress and
smelling like a condom, and
you're like -- sorry, I know
this is morning.
Maybe too much information for
the morning.
But it did feel very sexy.
But it was hard to move.
It was hard to grab things.
And I was like -- I was trying
to run errands.
I was trying to just live my
normal life.
I went to the dry cleaners.
Like, I did all of these -- I
picked up my daughter from the
bus stop.
>> What did the moms think?
>> The bus stop must have been
an interesting situation.
>> This is not even a joke.
Like, the school was called.
Like, somebody, a parent -- I
don't know who, but one of the
parents called the school and
was like, there's some woman
here and she does not look
right.
Like, she does not look like one
of the moms.
They didn't know who I was.
>> That's a good woman, though,
calling.
>> Like, that's mom.
They had to love it.
>> Cricket thought it was
hilarious, my 5-year-old.
My 10-year-old was sort of --
she's, like, very tomboyish and
was very wary of it, but then
she was also like, I love the
makeup.
Like, she watched makeup
tutorials on YouTube.
That's all they do.
>> My nieces are so obsessed,
yes.
>> So, she was kind of
fascinated by my -- because I
don't wear makeup in real life.
Like when I'm working or doing
this, I will, but they're used
to seeing me bare-faced and I
think she was --
>> It is pretty.
>> I will say, though, you put
that wig on and you had like a
whole different person.
Just like --
>> Well, you keep -- it was like
a little bit like Cher, you
know?
Like throwing the hair back.
But I thought it was kind of
fun.
I kind of got it.
>> You're good friends with Kim,
so --
>> I mean, good friends.
We know each other.
We're friendly.
We became friendly on the
internet, through, because I
followed her and she followed
me, and we would, like, dm and
I presented her an award at the
cfdas last year.
She asked if I would.
And yeah, she's -- I really
respect her a lot, and she's the
sweetest person and incredibly
hard working and such a devoted
mom.
And devoted to her family in its
so, anyway, she came on the show
to talk about the season finale
of their show, and we just
thought we would have some fun.
That's the other thing, like
she's down to have fun and make
fun of herself a little bit and
poke fun at things.
So, she was --
>> How's it going for you, busy?
We were on right before your
book came out, the show was
about to launch.
>> Yeah.
>> I feel like you've settled in
over there.
>> Yeah.
>> What surprised you most about
doing this?
>> I guess, you know, getting
into the rhythm of the show days
and coming up with the topics.
It's very similar in some ways
to what you guys do here, but
I'm doing it at night and --
>> And alone.
>> That's hard.
I mean, you're the face, you're
the person who carries the show.
>> Yeah.
>> Thank god we all have each
other.
>> Yeah.
>> None of us lack opinions, I
would say --
>> True dat.
>> -- On the sofa.
So, that's part of the thing is
that, you know, hopefully,
people want to hear what my take
is on certain situations, and
I've get a lot of thoughts, the
oscars being one of them.
>> Busy, who called Julia?
I just want to know, like, how
did you get her to come on to
the show?
Did you call her?
Did you dm her?
>> So, Julia like a year ago
reached out because she was a
fan of my Instagram.
>> Okay.
>> Fun.
>> And she's the best.
Look at her.
>> This is before she was even
on it.
I think she had just joined --
>> She would say -- and she told
the story on my show -- she
would just look at Instagram.
She knew what it was but didn't
have a personal account, but she
would kind of troll.
She would troll Instagram.
[ Laughter ]
>> Which is awesome.
You love the idea of Julia
Roberts trolling Instagram!
>> Yes.
>> But you know, to be totally
honest, my best friend, Michelle
Williams, also trolls Instagram.
She doesn't have one, but she
does look at it.
>> When's she coming on your
show?
>> I cannot reveal, but of
course she's going to come on
the show.
You know she's very busy right
she's filming a new television
show with Sam Rockwell.
I don't know what the name of
the TV show is.
>> Oh, my gosh, butt with Sam
Rockwell --
>> I'm very excited.
It's about Bob fossy and --
>> Ooh.
>> So good.
>> Lin-manuel Miranda and Tommy
kale.
>> Oh, my gosh.
>> It's going to be incredible.
>> We talked before, your elf on
the shelf game is incredibly
strong.
You've never even seen the stuff
she sets up.
>> My elves are very creative,
guys.
I don't know what to tell you.
>> Very creative.
>> So, we have a challenge for
you, okay?
We're going to do movies with
elf on the shelf.
This what your self day?
>> They had a self-care day.
>> I like that.
>> Oh, self care.
That's clever.
