- Last week at our press junket,
didn't someone compare us to Bogie and Bacall?
Or wait, was it Nicholson and May?
- Who said that?
- Anyway, back to Adam.
(audience laughing)
Your career has stood the test of time, my friend.
I'm so grateful that our chance meeting
at Jerry's Deli led us to such an incredible relationship
of onscreen and off 30 years ago.
- Yes, that's nice.
Another great thing about my very close longtime friend
and collaborator, Adam,
(audience laughing)
is that he is so supportive.
- Mm, so true.
He loves "The Morning Show."
Every time it airs, first text I get, from Adam.
- Well, that is so sweet.
- I know.
- Because I literally get when every morning when
after my talk show airs,
"I mean, way to go, Drew,
you really brought out the funny side of Eva Longoria.
Can't wait for Kerry Washington tomorrow."
I don't know how he keeps up with all those texts.
(audience laughing)
- I'm gonna need to see your phone.
- It's backstage.
(audience laughing)
- I remember when Adam flew me to Maui on a whim just
to hang out with he and Jackie and the kids.
- Well, I was in Maui with him when we made one
of the many films we've done together, "50 1st Dates,"
which grossed $150 million in the movie theaters.
- Ah, oh, I just love that movie when I saw it 20 years ago.
(audience laughing) (audience applauding)
Adam and I actually have a movie coming out this month.
(audience laughing)
Sequel to one we did just a few years ago
and probably another one after that, fingers crossed.
Yeah.
- We never wanted to make sequels,
but you guys finally made a good movie together.
And I say milk that gravy train, run it into the ground.
(audience applauding)
- She's just kidding.
She's just kidding.
We're just playing.
You know what the truth is?
He really treats all of his costars so well.
- Well, and because Adam really cares for us.
- Yeah, it's the truth.
- I mean, whether it's, you know
we're the simple low maintenance type
or the really you know, needy, flashy,
big present kind of guy, you know,
that is our Adam.
- Okay, look, you know what I'm sorry, I don't,
I have to share something really personal right now.
- You wanna share?
- Yeah.
- We, come and do that on my show.
That's what we do.
We share and we have a much younger demo.
(audience laughing)
- Thank you for that.
But I would really, I'd really like to say it here
with the entire 55 to 64 year old CNN audience watching.
(audience laughing)
About five years ago, I was really down and he wrote a song
for me and he sings it to me every New Year's Eve.
And it's called, "No one Is a Closer Friend than You."
- [Both] And that's why this song is a secret.
- No way Stop it!
- Are you kidding me?
- He wrote that song for you too?
(audience laughing)
- And me!
- Me too.
(audience laughing)
- Oh my, I can't believe it.
- So he's just playing all of us.
- I guess he's just, yeah really, Adam, really?
And we dragged our asses down here
to give you this little award.
- [Drew] Unbelievable man.
Honestly, man of the year.
- Please, I want you to just enjoy
your little beheaded Mark Twain award, all right.
Mr. little Huckleberry.
And I'm really sorry Jackie, and I'm really sorry kids.
Okay.
And Schneider, I'm just always sorry for you.
