What is the most fun thing about working with Adam?
How good he is to everybody, like how happy
the set environment is.
I would imagine.
Like, he's just a good person.
And what is the best thing about working with Drew?
Getting to make out with her.
[LAUGHTER]
That's what I thought.
Hi.
How you been?
I'm good.
How are you doing?
[SCREAMING]
That's nice.
I was going to--
I'm just going to--
I want to do one thing, Ellen.
What's that?
Tony.
Wee!
[LAUGHTER]
You're doing like the shadow puppet thing, though.
Woo-hoo.
Yeah.
I'm going to get you.
Woo.
[LAUGHTER]
The bird says, I'm going to get you.
Yeah, he talks.
Woo-hoo.
I see.
That's even more frightening, a talking bird.
He's afraid of birds.
Oh, really?
See, I didn't know.
You didn't know?
I didn't.
Oh.
She used to have chickens.
Yes.
[LAUGHTER]
Yeah, I moved.
I don't know why.
There.
Birds get crazy.
They peck you.
No, they don't.
Yes, I agree.
They do.
No, they don't.
They do.
They can.
They do.
I've seen it.
Anything can.
That's true.
Yeah.
[LAUGHTER]
Hey.
Just in case there's one person out there
who hasn't seen the movie.
We're acting like everyone's seen it.
Right.
But why don't you tell people what
it's about in your own words.
Thank you.
Maybe the kid can help out too.
I will.
I'm not too smooth.
You'll see.
Yes, you are.
Oh, thank you.
All right.
So the movie is about this a great young lady who--
all right.
So my guy-- what's the movie about?
[LAUGHTER]
No, my guy likes girls.
He runs around a little bit.
He's living that lifestyle.
Afraid of commitment.
He dabbles and does his thing and kind of a jerk, I guess.
No.
Not a bad guy.
He's just afraid of commitment.
Afraid of commitment.
He's got his job.
But you're right, what you do is not nice.
It's not that good.
No.
He's a liar.
He's a little bit of a liar.
We stink at this.
I know, we stink at this.
But anyways, ultimately, he meets this young lady.
He falls for her, love at first sight.
That happens.
Yeah.
Yeah, it happened her in real life, happened to me.
I hope it happens-- it happened to you.
It doesn't matter.
[LAUGHTER]
But anyways, so my guy sees this girl, falls in love,
and then ultimately doesn't want to run around anymore.
He's just like, I'm focused on this one lady here.
And then he goes back the next day
after he thinks he had a nice date.
And you kind of reject me.
Yes, because I don't know who you are.
And then you find out that I got into an accident, where
my short-term memory was severed.
And so I'm reliving the same day over and over and over again.
That's right.
So he has to remake me fall in love with him every single day.
Yes.
And make a choice in life.
Do I follow my heart and find a nice way
to make this relationship work?
Or do I run for the hills?
And he does the right thing.
It's very sweet.
And also, I like that you kind of help the family get unstuck
because the dad and the brother supposedly
try to keep you happy.
But in doing that, you end up finding out
that it isn't the same month.
It is later.
And time has gone on.
And so it's very sweet.
When you realize why they're trying
to do that-- because when she has a day where she realizes
the whole day is completely ruined by her realizing
she has no memory, which is obviously so traumatic.
And so they try to just keep her in this sort of happy place.
But his character comes along and questions
if that's a good way-- is she growing--
is she progressing-- she will age-- and sort of changes
their whole mentality.
It's sort of fun because I do have that short-term memory
thing.
And it's kind of nice because you don't really
get bored easily because everything's new all the time.
[LAUGHTER]
Nemo.
Nemo is the best.
Exactly.
[CHEERING]
No, I swear to god, though, Ellen.
When we were shooting the movie--
I think it was around the same time--
and then I went and saw Nemo.
And I was like, oh, no.
How can it be?
Why did she do that so well?
[LAUGHTER]
It was great.
Well, that's a popular subject.
You have kissed a lot of men in movies, though.
[GIGGLES]
You have.
And so we want to see how much you remember.
I love my job.
[LAUGHTER]
So we want to see how many lips you remember.
So we're going to show you lips.
And we're going to see if you can guess who they are.
Well, if I mistake anybody, I'm just so sorry.
And I'll come give you a kiss later.
All right.
So we're going to both look at the same time.
You can look here.
OK.
Do you know who that is?
I think I know who that is.
It looks kind of like Hugh?
I think that looks like Ben Stiller.
Oh, you know what?
You're probably right.
[LAUGHTER]
You're right.
Wow, that's a very handsome picture of Ben.
He would feel good about that.
I call him Benjamin Rabbit.
And he always looks at me like, you're nuts.
I love him.
All right.
Let's see some more lips.
Adam.
Yeah, that's Adam.
Yeah.
I love Adam.
[APPLAUSE]
All right.
Cute.
Hmm.
Oh, my goodness.
Wait a minute.
Yeah, I don't know who that is either.
Oh.
God, you've kissed so many people, you don't know who--
Well, I feel like--
I know.
I'm just a promiscuous little bad girl.
I'm like, gee, it could be one of several.
[LAUGHTER]
I don't know.
Edward Norton?
No, that doesn't look like Edward Norton.
I don't know.
Who's that?
Who is it?
That's Hugh.
Wow.
That's a very odd picture of Hugh.
He looks like he's sweating and like he just
put cherry Chapstick on.
And his lips are sucked in.
They don't look full.
Yeah, that's not-- that's not--
That's not fair.
No, that was not fair at all.
Thank you.
Oh, two of the most loved people in the world right here.
[CHEERING]
By the way, you must be talking about you guys.
Oh, yeah.
No.
I mean, listen, you know and you know.
But let's talk about--
you just had your little baby girl three weeks ago?
- Yeah.
- How are you here?
[CHEERING]
It feels like a miracle.
And it's also so awesome, I have to say.
I feel like I actually have--
first of all, I love this movie.
And I would never like not show up for it.
And then also, I feel so good and happy.
My kid is healthy.
I have nothing to complain about.
I'm so blessed.
[APPLAUSE]
Drew named the baby Blended.
I did.
[LAUGHTER]
I thought that was very nice of you.
So her name is Frankie.
Her name is Frankie.
So you have Olive and Frankie.
That's dying to be a television show right there, Olive
and Frankie.
I mean, it's hard because we love the name Olive.
And then we're like, what goes with Olive?
Martinis?
I know.
Everything started sounding like a color or a food.
Right.
We're like Hazel is a great name.
We're like, no, that's two shades of green.
And that's Emily Blunt and John Krasinski's baby's name.
There you go.
And I love the name Pepper like so much.
And we were like, Olive and Pepper?
Like, that's two things you find in a pantry, you know?
Right.
Maybe they'll be in your pantry.
Who knows.
And so how did you come up with Frankie?
It was just a name that like came to my husband and I
about a few months before she was born.
And it was just sort of like, I think this is it.
And then we just gave ourselves the room to change our mind,
but we never did.
Not the most interesting story.
No, not really.
[LAUGHTER]
I'm kidding.
And my mother in law's maiden name is Franco.
And I love her so much that it reminds me of her as well.
Yeah, tell that story next time.
It's better.
That's good.
OK, perfect.
We'll edit out the other.
Perfect.
We'll just cut the other one out completely.
You have two little girls, right, Adam?
Yes.
How old are they?
Eight and five and a half.
Wow.
Are they very close, your daughters?
Yeah, they love each other.
They do fight.
They get in fights.
And Sadie's kind of like--
I think Sadie is at school all day with kids her age
and has the give and take of being cool and all of a sudden
not being cool.
And other kids are better at certain things.
And she's better at other things.
And she has that all day long, like emotional ups and downs.
And at home, when she comes home,
she's just like, I'm going to be better at this little kid.
You know, better than Sunny, it makes her feel good.
So she'll beat her up.
Oh.
I didn't know it was going in that direction.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean it.
I didn't know it got violent or anything.
This is the third movie you've done together.
And Wedding Singer was the first movie
you were together in, right?
Is that right?
Yes.
[APPLAUSE]
Oh, no.
I love your hair like that.
I like your short little hair.
What do you think when you see that?
I mean, is it strong memories?
Or does it all just feel like--
I remember shooting that scene.
I remember hanging out that night.
That was a night shoot.
Night shoot.
We were young.
I feel like it was like a Friday night too.
Yeah, it was like the last--
Friday night, it's a big deal when
you're shooting a movie because you know you got Saturday off,
so you can go late into the night and have fun.
And I remember just Drew drinking all night long.
[LAUGHTER]
I mean, we had so much fun on that movie.
It was just--
What is the most fun thing about working with Adam?
How good he is to everybody, like how happy
the set environment is.
I would imagine because you're a good guy.
He's a good guy.
He's a good--
Most of the time.
--human, good heart, good dad, good partner to me,
amazing husband, friend.
He's just a good person.
And what is the best thing about working with Drew?
Getting to make out with her.
[LAUGHTER]
That's what I thought.
That's a nice answer.
That's cute.
It makes me look good.
Thank you.
We'll be right back.
We'll take a break.
You were joking when we went to break,
that the best thing about working with Drew
is making out with her.
But y'all are so close.
You're like brother and sister.
Is that weird when y'all are making out all the time?
The best thing is that my wife loves Drew so much
that she like encourages me.
Thank god.
And there's no jealousy at all.
She's just like, get in there.
[LAUGHTER]
By the way, she does.
Like if you're not being romantic enough,
she will like berate you behind camera.
She yells at me.
We did that romantic scene when we go on the date in Africa.
When he surprises me.
Right.
When we're doing a nice romantic scene,
I think I'm doing pretty great, being as romantic as can be.
And then I go, OK, moving on.
Let's go.
That was great, Drew.
Good job.
And I'm walking away.
And I just see my wife.
[LAUGHTER]
Whoa, what's the matter?
Just please, for the sake of women, get in there
and just look a little more alive.
[LAUGHTER]
She really did.
I love it.
That's why Jackie's amazing.
And you're also representing your marriage.
She wants you to look good for her too.
That's true.
But that was what's great.
So not only everyone's family went to Africa--
I mean, it was amazing, the life experience that we
got to have on this movie.
There's me and my husband Will and Olive.
And that's Tidi.
That was a real kiss.
By the way, T-I-D-I is the elephant's name
because the handler kept going, hey, Tidi, Tidi.
I was like, really?
That doesn't mean the same--
and they were like, Tidi.
And I was like, right, of course.
[LAUGHTER]
But that's amazing that you were so close with all those
because I saw the pictures.
And I saw something a while ago when you were shooting it,
that you were leaning over and either a cheetah or something
jumped on your back.
It was a cheetah.
We went to a place.
And you got to-- yeah, that cheetah right there jumped
on my back like out of nowhere.
And I don't think it was supposed
to because the girl looked stunned also,
who was supposed to protect me.
You were crouched.
And I think that was kind of--
That was the mistake.
Well, she should have told you that.
I'm not the one that should tell you.
She told me to.
She told me, go down reach for water.
And you'll give it to the cheetah.
I was like, why am I doing that?
And then I bent down.
And all of a sudden, boom, it jumps on me.
And then after she's like, they don't like when you crouch.
I was like, you told me to get down.
[LAUGHTER]
By the way, the scene where the baboon serves us
beers in the Hooters wig.
Well, that baboon, the handler came up to me and goes,
now, don't make eye contact with him.
And I'm like, OK.
And he goes, and don't show your teeth.
I was like, OK.
So then there was one take where the baboon crawled up on me
and was like in my face.
And I was like, [MUMBLES].
[LAUGHTER]
It's hard not to be scared.
And I was like, help me.
Looking somewhere else.
And then, what's the ostrich?
Is that a normal thing?
Do they like to be ridden?
By Adam, yes.
By a handsome-- by a handsome man, Adam Sandler, of course.
But no, the ostrich could only go like a couple of takes.
And then we had to do a fake ostrich, where I sat on a man.
[LAUGHTER]
I swear to god, I sat on this great guy, this South African
big dude.
And he was in a blue suit and like a blue fencing thing.
And they paint in the ostrich after.
And I was on him.
And take one he was like, I'm a huge fan of yours, Adam.
I'm like, hey, thanks, man.
And action.
And we run around.
By take 10 he's just like, I can't stand your movies, man.
Get off of me.
You said, we're going again, like one more take.
And he was just like, whatever.
Oh, god, he was sweating and so angry.
I can imagine.
That's crazy that you had to ride that man for that long.
[LAUGHTER]
It was worth it, though.
It's all right.
That's the promo we used.
[LAUGHTER]
Before we go to break, you have a goal.
I do.
Let's try to reach that goal.
I do.
I was never a part of like social media because I just
wasn't.
And I'm uncool and private.
I don't know what the excuse is.
But now I am.
And I'm on Instagram.
And I love it so much.
And instead of trying to be like witty
and thinking like, oh, god, what did I just say on Twitter
all the time because I don't feel like I'm cool like that,
I take pictures.
And I love the pictures.
They speak for themselves.
So I would love anyone to follow me on Instagram.
Well, OK.
Don't you want to take like--
we'll do a selfie or something.
And then you'll post it.
Oh, can I?
So we can get some more--
I'm like, hang on.
Come on, Ellen.
I just learned this trick.
OK, ready?
Get in here.
I'm in it.
OK.
We did good.
And then one just weird.
Ready?
[LAUGHTER]
All right.
Awesome.
[CHEERING]
That's so exciting.
Thank you.
[APPLAUSE]
What's your Instagram name?
Drew Barrymore.
Wow.
And you want to reach a million?
I would love to.
By the time the movie opens?
I would love to.
All right.
