Hey, Hannah Hart.
Hi, Ellen DeGeneres.
This is your first time here.
Yes, it is.
And I would absolutely kick myself
if I didn't just take a second to let you know how much you
mean to me as a person.
Not only as a woman in comedy, which
is a whole thing, but also as a brand, as a host--
I watched your sitcom growing up.
And it was the first time that I found myself in someone else.
Even though that was just your character.
And when it was canceled, I learned about two things.
One, what cancellation was.
And two, what a lesbian was.
And I was told that we couldn't like you anymore
because you were gay.
So then when I came out, I was like ha-ha, double whammy.
Yeah, you mean the world to me.
So let's chit-chat in front of all these cameras.
OK.
Thanks Hannah.
Thank you.
That's great.
[CROWD CHEERING]
I am very excited because you're now doing a show for us.
But you got your start on YouTube cooking drunk.
Yeah.
That's me, if all of you are like, hey, wait a minute.
I started out-- I wasn't aspiring to get
into entertainment at all.
It seemed like a way too scary space to play in.
So I studied translation.
I did Japanese language and English Lit.
And I made a video back in 2011.
Just as a joke for a friend of mine.
I recorded it on my webcam and edited in an iMovie
and sent it to her.
And then it went viral.
Which in 2011 meant nothing, really.
I was lucky enough to be a part of the generation
that kind of helped pioneer the platform into what it is today.
And I'm really grateful that I didn't chicken out.
Oh, yeah there it is.
See that.
That's great.
It's such a great idea.
Oh everybody does it.
I know.
That's why I'm saying it's a great idea.
Because everyone does it.
Everybody does it.
And it's so funny to have a show called "My Drunk Kitchen"
because people think that you must have a real relationship
with alcohol, right.
And I'm like no, I'm like 120 pounds.
A couple of glasses of wine, I'm done.
I'm good.
Lucky you.
So we're working together-- we just showed
a clip of "The Decent Proposal."
It's really cool because you're helping people propose
in elaborate, amazing ways.
Yeah, what makes me so excited about the show
is that I was fortunate enough to be able to just really crush
my proposal.
I knocked it out of the park.
I just got engaged recently.
Congratulations.
Thank you very much.
[CROWD APPLAUDING]
Thank you.
This is my engagement ring.
I realized I got her a ring and I was like, I want a ring.
And then I was like, I want a ring.
So this is mine.
I'm a planner.
I'm a pretty meticulous kind of person.
And not everybody has the resources,
be it the material or even personal resources,
to execute something that has a lot of moving parts.
So for me, I really wanted the chance
to make proposals as epic as possible
and to be a part of that journey.
Cause some people got big hearts but they can't plan their way
out of a paper bag.
It's so great.
It's a really touching show.
It's really sweet.
And the family's there and surprised her.
And it was really great.
I also have questions about the hairless cats.
Cause Portia's obsessed with hairless dogs.
The hairless cats-- you have to admit they're
the ugliest things you've ever seen right?
You know that.
Lady looks like Lord Voldemort when he first comes out
as a baby and he's like, ahh.
But she's sweet.
Yeah, there it is.
There she is.
But they can't be in the sun cause they're
going to get burnt, right?
Sunburned?
I mean, it's OK.
I can't be in the sun either.
But do they have funny personalities?
What makes up for that?
Because I mean, really.
But they must have a great personality.
They have to.
Very affectionate.
I think they're so affectionate cause
they're cold all the time.
Well, that makes sense too.
It's wearing a little dickey right there.
