Our first guest shattered the hearts of millions
last month when she married one Jonas brother that I
used to let sleep in my house.
Please welcome newlywed Priyanka Chopra Jonas.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
I see you.
No, no, you asked for this.
It's not me.
Yes, yes.
You said you wanted a shot of tequila every time you're here.
I do need tequila every time I'm here.
That's true.
All right, so.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Happy birthday.
Congratulations to you, is what I say.
Thank you.
[AUDIENCE CHEERS]
So rough.
All right, so congratulations on the wedding.
Thank you.
It was a huge wedding.
We saw pictures, all of us, because it
was like the royal wedding or something.
Y'all were-- how long did the wedding last?
How many ceremonies did you have?
Well, it was just three days, one Indian ceremony
and one Western, Christian ceremony,
and one day of pre-rituals, which
we have in the Hindu wedding.
But it was not like-- usually Indian weddings
are like 1,000 people at least.
We had only 200, which was mostly family.
Both of us have giant families.
Right.
What do you mean it's usually 1,000?
Why wasn't it 1,000 then?
Because I think we just wanted to keep it super intimate,
about just family.
Super intimate, just 200 people.
[LAUGHTER]
For an Indian family and an Indian wedding, for sure.
That's like less.
My mother was so upset with me the whole time.
She was like, I need to have another party for the 150,000
people that I know.
How can I not invite my jeweler?
How can I not invite my hairdresser?
So it was a whole conversation.
Wow.
Yeah, because you have to figure out that cut-off point,
especially once you get to 200.
Then it's literally you might as well
invite the hairdresser and the jeweler, I mean, right?
Not when you have 100 people in your family,
like my dad's side, my mom's side, their brothers, sisters,
cousins, kids.
It's like a whole thing.
Right.
So that was a lot of people.
I have known the Jonas Brothers--
I think I had the Jonas Brothers on first before anybody.
They were here when they were really, really young.
Then Nick lived in my condo.
I was his landlord.
And so I guess I was cut off.
He loved the house.
I was cut off from that.
I guess I should have--
We were so offended that you didn't even
respond to our invite, though.
That's not true.
I didn't--
It's so true.
[LAUGHTER]
There was no invite.
I was like, we're not-- like we're
not good enough for Ellen.
There was no invite.
Like she wouldn't come to India.
She doesn't even respond anymore.
Nick, you've had such a great relationship with her.
Exactly.
I was very offended for him, honestly.
But I'm just the wife.
I don't know anything.
I'm just the wife.
[LAUGHTER]
All right, but it really is--
I think everybody was-- we saw this relationship.
We thought, oh, that's a good couple.
And I can see, because I know him a little bit
and I know you a tiny bit, that it's a good couple.
How long ago did you meet?
Were you a fan of the Jonas Brothers?
I actually didn't know much about--
I mean, nobody-- everyone knew the Jonas Brothers.
I just didn't know the music.
I didn't-- I knew some of the songs,
but I really didn't know much about them.
In fact, Nick and I both didn't know much about each other.
So we did a show and tell after we started dating, where
we showed each other our work from when
we were younger, the embarrassing stuff,
like the horrible things.
It was great.
That's how we got to know each other's careers.
So then how did you meet if you weren't a fan of each other's?
We went-- he DM'ed me, actually.
So millennial of us.
Yeah
[LAUGHTER]
He DM'ed me on Twitter saying, I've heard we should connect.
And I heard we should--
I've heard from common friends that we should meet.
What do you think about that?
I was like, just text me.
Because I'd seen "Close" by then, and that's the only thing
I saw.
And I was like, waha--
wowza.
Yes, exactly.
He's a good looking guy.
Ooh, yeah.
Yeah.
And he's a sweet guy, too.
He's got a really good heart.
He's nice.
And it shocks me how he's not been corrupted.
We know when you're in entertainment
for such a long time-- he's so family-driven.
It's all about his parents, and it's just
really nice and sweet.
Yeah.
So, all right, you say you weren't that much of a fan.
But you're not telling the truth.
Because we have some footage that proves otherwise.
[LAUGHTER]
It's totally real.
You shouldn't tell my husband.
No, it's totally--
[JONAS BROTHERS, "BURNIN' UP"]
And I'm trying from going under.
Baby, who turned the temperature hotter?
I'm burning up, burning up for you, baby.
[LAUGHS]
[APPLAUSE]
That happened.
Yeah, that happened.
Oh, I forgot about that concert.
Just that one.
Yeah, you forgot about that.
It's such a great movie.
It's such a cute movie.
It's called Isn't It Romantic, and it's
got such a great message.
Explain what it is and who you are.
Well, it's a super cute movie coming out
on Valentine's Day, which like you go with your friends.
And it's just got an amazing vibe,
because it takes a flip on romantic comedies completely.
Rebel's character Natalie wakes up in a romantic comedy.
And everything is amazing in her life, and she hates it.
And she meets my character, who falls
in love with her best friend, which is Adam's character.
And I play a yoga ambassador.
There's no such thing.
You can't be an ambassador for yoga.
It's just-- she's just stupid.
[LAUGHTER]
And it was so great to play this like, I'm a role model.
I really believe in the underprivileged.
And she's that character.
So I had so much fun doing it.
Because I did it between season two and three of Quantico
during my hiatus, which was just like 1 and 1/2 months.
So it was a quick, beautiful project to do.
And I love Rebel.
And this is her first time producing.
So that's awesome.
I would totally do anything to support that.
Yeah, no, she was here.
She showed us a sneak peek a while ago.
And I thought, what a great idea to do
a take on a romantic comedy and that she's in.
It and it's great.
All right, so now you're doing--
there was a documentary on Netflix
called Wild, Wild Country.
Did you see that, Wild, Wild Country?
If you haven't seen it, it's really interesting.
It's a true story about a cult that happened.
And you're making a movie out of it.
Yeah, I'm developing a feature with Barry Levinson.
He did Rain Man, and he's an iconic American director.
And we're developing it as the character of Sheila,
who is this guru who originated from India,
his right-hand woman.
And she was just devious and created
like a whole cult in America, brought people here.
He was called Osho.
I don't know if any of you have heard of him.
But it was amazing.
And I'm developing that next for me
to star in and produce in, which I think will be really cool.
Yeah, that's fantastic.
That's really incredible.
[APPLAUSE]
All right, I got you a wedding gift.
Did you?
You didn't have to.
Even though I wasn't invited to the wedding.
But I told you you were.
We were offended you didn't arrive.
If you don't stop lying--
[LAUGHTER]
I got you a wedding gift.
And I think that y'all are going to love it.
I don't know which home you're going
to hang it in, because I know you have
a couple of places that you--
[LAUGHTER]
[APPLAUSE]
Oh, that's great.
Yeah.
Meanwhile I'm doing what I do best.
Yeah, you're taking a shot.
[LAUGHS]
And we're just sitting there.
It's called Isn't It Romantic.
It's in theaters February 13.
And we'll be right back.
