For 11 years, our next guest has been
making us laugh as Daphne on the NBC hit, "Frasier."
Please welcome Jane Leeves!
Great big old thing.
When are you due?
Any minute.
No.
About five, six, eight weeks away, you know.
I think they might get this one out early, because he's big,
so.
Now, your first one was big too, right?
Huge, yes.
How big was the first one?
9-12.
Yeah, yeah.
That's almost as big as me.
I think I was like 10-14 or something like that.
No way.
How big was I, Mom?
9-13.
Oh.
Beat me by an ounce.
9-13.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, that's big.
Was that cesarean?
That one was cesarean, yeah.
Is it easier with this one?
Is he going to be as big?
It's a he, this one.
The last one was a girl.
Yeah.
They say boys are bigger.
And they're sort of keeping an eye on his size,
because I do tend to have these giant babies.
And now, does it get easier?
Because they say it does get easier for the second one.
No, I don't think so.
No, the first one you feel fabulous.
You feel like this life giving vessel, and just glowing.
And I went out and bought all these dinky clothes,
you know, Peter Pan collars, and pink shirts.
With this one, you know, I'm just like--
For you or for the baby?
For me.
OK.
Yes.
And with this one I'm just like, oh, I'm done, get him out.
I used to play my daughter music.
She doesn't mean that.
I don't.
Mommy loves you.
Yeah.
But I did.
I played my daughter music.
And now I just don't have time for him.
My daughter's jumping up and down on my knee, you know.
Well, he's here right now absorbing this love and joy
from this room.
Yes, he is.
And he's going to be a very good little baby.
Aren't you?
Yes.
Now, have you had weird cravings and stuff with both babies?
More so with this one.
Yes, spicy food.
And then we went home to England just recently
and I had a craving for, and I know
people are going to go, yuck, jellied eels.
Mmm.
Yes.
[CROWD GROANS]
Jellied eels?
Tony I'm sure knows what those are.
Do you know what jellied eels are, Tony?
I actually don't.
You don't?
No.
I've never had jellied eels.
Where are you from?
London.
Well, they're a Londoners thing, you know.
Really?
Yeah.
They're eels, and they're cooked in their own sort of juice,
and they form this jelly, and you have them
with vinegar and pepper.
Oh, so good.
See, I've seen them.
You would be able to do a celebrity fear factor, I think.
If you can eat that stuff.
I think you should just leave the Eels in their juices
and leave em alone.
I don't think.
All right, now this is sad for all of us
that you've been on 11 years-- is this really
the last year of "Frasier?"
It seems to be, yes.
Aw, that's very sad.
I know.
How do you feel about that?
You think you're prepared.
I spent the whole summer making peace with it,
but I know when it comes it's going to be devastating.
We're a family, you know, and we just
had wonderful times together, and I love everybody
on the show dearly.
And our crew are our family, you know, it's just--
11 years, that's amazing.
11 years, yeah.
And it's been consistently good.
I mean, smart, smart, funny writing,
and just what a great group of people.
I know.
I was real lucky.
Yeah.
Yeah, you really were.
Just landed on my feet.
Well, congratulations for the baby and for the long run.
We have a gift for you.
I'm sorry we don't have any jellied eels for you,
but we got this from--
there's a place called Baby's World,
it's on Ventura Boulevard.
Yeah.
And so we got you a little basket.
Oh, my goodness!
And it's that.
Oh,
Wow And that is so beautiful.
There's a little teddy bear, and there's a blanket and stuff.
All right.
Oh, gosh, that's so sweet.
Also, a little--
I don't know how this works.
[LAUGHTER]
That's my favorite.
Yeah.
I'm sure it goes together somehow.
It was together.
But anyway, it hangs over, and the baby can play with it,
and there's a little--
And what does it play?
Probably the Ellen theme song.
I don't know, it somehow came apart.
But anyway, it just hooks on.
It probably won't hook on to here,
but it really can go anywhere.
You just bring it around with you.
All right.
Thank you so much.
Thank you so very much for being here.
