>> Stephen: MY GUEST TONIGHT IS ONE OF THE MOST CHARMING
ACTRESSES EVER ON FILM AND ONE OF THE MOST LOVELY PEOPLE YOU'LL
EVER MEET.
PLEASE WELCOME JULIE AN CREWS.
♪ ♪ ♪ ( APPLAUSE )
>> WOW.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: JULIE ANDREWS,
EVERYBODY.
YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE-- YOU MAY NOT HAVE HEARD THIS, YOU MAY NOT
HAVE HEARD THIS, BUT WHEN I TOLD EVERYBODY THAT YOU WERE MY GUEST
TONIGHT, THEY SQUEALED LIKE I HAD GOOSED THEM WITH AN ICE
PICK.
THEY WERE SO EXCITED.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) AND I'M NOT SURPRISED AT ALL.
YOU'RE SUCH-- YOU'RE, OBVIOUSLY, JUST A BRILLIANT PERFORMER, BUT
LOVELY PERSON TO BE AROUND, TOO.
>> WELL, YOU SOUND SURPRISED.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: NOT EVERYBODY WHO
IS PROFESSIONALLY CHARMING IS PERSONALLY CHARMING.
BUT YOU ARE JUST SUCH A LOVELY PERSON.
YOU TAUGHT ME A WONDERFUL TRICK.
CAN I SHARE WITH THEM THE TRICK?
>> YES.
I DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE IT WAS, BUT GO AHEAD.
>> Stephen: IT'S THE PHOTOGRAPH TRIP.
HOW YOU SMILE.
>> AH, YES!
>> Stephen: THE FIRST TIME WE WERE TOGETHER, WE WERE BACKSTAGE
AT THE OLD SHOW, AND I SAID LET'S SAY, "CHEESE."
AND YOU SAID, NO, NO.
WHAT DO WE SAY?
>> YOU SAY-- YOU ASK THEM TO COUNT TO THREE, AND THEN YOU
SAY, "MONEY."
AND I DON'T KNOW-- I WAS TOLD THIS.
IT'S NOT MY IDEA.
>> Stephen: YES.
>> BUT I WAS TOLD TO DO THIS, AND LO AND BEHOLD, IT WORKS.
IT DROPS THE JAW A BIT, MAKES YOU SMILE NICELY.
SO YOU MIGHT AS WELL REMEMBER IT.
>> Stephen: EXACTLY.
AND IT PUTS YOU IN A GOOD MOOD.
>> YOU HAVE TRIED IT.
>> Stephen: I'LL TRY NOW.
READY?
>> YES, ONE, TWO, THREE.
>> Stephen: MONEY.
( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE )
REALLY NICE.
>> YEAH, NOT BAD.
>> Stephen: IT WORKS BEAUTIFULLY.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: NOW, I'M A LITTLE LATE TO THIS, BUT ARE YOU DAME
JULIE ANDREWS.
HOW LONG HAS THAT BEEN NOW?
>> I WAS MADE-- HAD THE HONOR OF BEING GIVEN THAT DAMEHOOD IN
THE-- IN 2000.
>> Stephen: 2000.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: SO 17 YEARS NOW.
>> IS IT REALLY.
>> Stephen: IT IS.
I'M SORRY TO SAY.
>> DOESN'T TIME FLY!
>> Stephen: IS IT THE SWORD ON THE SHOULDER AND ALL THAT?
>> NO, NOT AT ALL.
THE MEN WHO ARE MADE SIRS -- AND DAME IS THE FEMALE EQUIVALENT--
MEN ARE TOUCHED ON THE SHOULDER WITH THE SWORD.
BUT LADIES AND ALSO THE CLERGY, ARE NOT TOUCHED ON THE SHOULDER
WITH A SWORD BECAUSE THEY ARE PEOPLE OF PEACE.
SO IT'S A REAL.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) TRUE STORY.
AND SO THE CLERGY ARE GENTLE AND KIND AND PEACEFUL AND NEVER
FIGHT, I DON'T GUESS.
AND, ALSO, LADIES.
SO YOU GET PINNED A MEDAL INSTEAD.
>> Stephen: WHAT ARE THE RESPONSIBILITIES?
THE QUEEN CAN CALL YOU UP AT ANY TIME AND SAY, "LET'S GO
SHOPPING."
>> SHE'S VERY WELCOME TO.
I'D BE VERY GRATEFUL IF SHE WANTED TO.
>> Stephen: YOU'RE OFFICIALLY ON THE QUEEN'S GIRL SQUAD NOW.
>> WHAT IT IS, QUITE SERIOUSLY, IT'S THIS LOVELY, QUIET HONOR
THAT YOU KNOW THAT YOUR COUNTRY HAS GIVEN YOU SOMETHING
BEAUTIFUL, AND TO HAVE BEEN HONORED BY YOUR MONARCHIST IS A
LOVELY THING.
>> Stephen: WELL, YOU ARE, TO AMERICANS, YOU ARE ABOUT AS
BRITISH AS IT CAN GET IN OUR EYES.
HOW IMPORTANT OVER THE YEARS HAVE YOU BECOME?
OBVIOUSLY, YOU WERE MARRIED TO THE GREAT BLAKE EDWARDS, THE
BRILLIANT COMEDIAN DIRECTOR.
AND HOW AMERICANIZED DID YOU GET?
DID YOU WATCH THE SUPER BOWL.
>> OF COURSE I DID.
END TO END, BELIEVE ME TOTALLY.
>> Stephen: END TO END.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: WHO WERE YOU PULLING FOR JULIE?
>> IS IT OKAY TO SAY?
>> Stephen: YES.
>> WELL, I WANTED HIM TO WIN BECAUSE HE WOULD HAVE BROKEN ALL
RECORDS.
I WANTED BRADY TO WIN.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) AND, GOSH, WASN'T HE
SPECTACULAR?
>WHO DID YOU WANT TO WIN?
>> Stephen: THE I WANTED THE FALCONS TO WIN.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) I'M FROM SOUTH CAROLINA.
I'M FROM SOUTH CAROLINA AND ATLANTA WAS THE CLOSEST TEAM
WHEN I WAS A KID.
>> A GREAT TEAM THAT YOUNG TEAM.
AND THEY'RE GOING TO WIN AGAIN I'M SURE.
SO IT WAS NICE THAT BRADY DID.
WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHING AT.
>> Stephen: WHAT DID YOU SAY?
>> YOU WERE LAUGHING AT ME JUST THEN.
>> Stephen: I WAS LAUGHING WITH YOU, JULIE.
>> OH, OKAY.
>> Stephen: I WAS LAUGHING WITH YOU.
I'M SO HAPPY THAT YOU WERE HERE THAT I'M LAUGHING, AND I WAS
ALSO THINKING ABOUT THIS LITTLE CLIP WE'RE ABOUT TO PLAY BECAUSE
THIS IS NOT YOUR FIRST TIME ON THIS STAGE.
>> NO.
>> Stephen: IN 1961, YOU WERE HERE FOR THE ED SULLIVAN SHOW.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
IT WAS RIGHT IN THIS -- >> Stephen: RIGHT HERE.
RIGHT IN THE CORNER OVER THERE.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: PERFORMING A PIECE FROM "MY FAIR LADY."
YOU ORIGINATEDLY PART OF ELIZA DOOLITTLE.
WE HAVE A CLIP RIGHT HERE.
>> OH, JOSH ♪ ALL I WANT IS A ROOM SOMEWHER
FAR AWAY FROM THE COLD NIGHT AIR ♪ WITH ONE ENORMOUS
WOULDN'T IT BE LOVELY ♪ ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
>> I MEAN-- THANK YOU.
HOW-- HOW LUCKY CAN A GIRL GET?
I MEAN, REALLY.
>> Stephen: WAS THAT PART WRITTEN FOR YOU?
>> NO, NOT REALLY.
IT WAS CREATED, OF COURSE, FOR REX, AND, OBVIOUSLY, FOR ME.
BUT I THINK THAT IT WOULD HAVE-- ANYBODY-- ANYBODY DID EVENTUALLY
PLAY IT.
IT'S JUST THAT-- I WAS IN IT FOR A VERY, VERY LONG TIME.
>> Stephen: DID YOU HAVE TO AUDITION FOR THE PART?
>> YES, I DID.
I AUDITIONS FOR ALAN J. LERNER, THE GREAT LYRICIST, AND HE ALSO
COMPILED THE BOOK.
( APPLAUSE ) AND JUST AFTER THAT, I
AUDITIONED FOR RICHARD ROGERS IN-- THEY WANTED ME TO AUDITION
FOR A SHOW THAT THEY WERE DOING, ROGERS AND HAMMERSTEIN WERE
DOING, CALLED "PIPE DREAM."
I WENT UP, I GAVE AN AUDITION IN A VERY EMPTY THEATER, AND BELTED
OUT MY LITTLE ARIA AS HARD AS I COULD, AND I KNEW SOMEWHERE OUT
THERE MR. ROGERS WAS SITTING ALL ALONE, OR MAYBE WITH SOMEBODY.
AND HE CAME UP ON STAGE AFTER-- I HAD NEVER MET HIM.
AND HE SAID TO ME, "OH," HE SAID, "THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY
ADEQUATE."
( LAUGHTER ) AND I SAID, "OH, OH, OH."
HE SAID, "NO, NO, NO, I'M TEASING YOU."
HE SAID, "HAVE YOU BEEN AUDITIONING FOR ANYBODY ELSE."
AND THIS IS THE AMAZING THING.
THIS IS A TRUE STORY.
AND I SAID, "I HAVE AUDITIONED FOR MR. LERNER.
I BELIEVE HE AND MR. LORD ARE DOING AN ADAPTATION OF GEORGE
BERNARD SHAW'S 'PYGMALION'."
AND HE SAID, "OH."
AND HE WAS VERY QUIET FOR A MOMENT.
HE SAID, "I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, IF THEY ASK YOU TO DO THE SHOW, I
THINK YOU SHOULD TAKE THAT ONE.
IF THEY DON'T ASK YOU, SEE ME, BECAUSE I'D VERY MUCH LIKE TO
USE YOU."
AND HE WITH GREAT GENEROSITY SUGGESTED I TAKE "MY FAIR LADY"
IF I WAS GIVEN IT, AND I WAS GIVEN IT.
HOW GENEROUS IS THAT.
>> Stephen: WE HAVE TO TAKE A LITTLE BREAK RIGHT HERE.
YOU CAN STICK AROUND?
>> I'D LOVE TO IT'S LOVELY TO SEE YOU.
>> Stephen: WE'LL BE BACK WITH MORE JULIE ANDREWS.
STICK AROUND.
