You had to audition.
Yeah.
I mean, you have one singing scene in it.
One beautiful song.
And when I saw it on Broadway, it's
kind of the ultimate mom's song.
It's really a song where this woman
is able to reveal herself in the depth
of her feeling for her child.
And I loved it.
Of course, brought me to tears when I saw the show.
And so I was offered an opportunity to audition.
And I was like, "I'm really scared,
but I'm going to do it."
You know, I was so scared, so scared.
But you sang-- were you in musicals like in high school?
In high school.
So not since I played Marion in the "Music Man"
have I been on stage.
I think we have a picture of you with us.
How is that possible?
I don't even have that.
I have things.
[LAUGHTER] Whatever you say, I have a photo of it.
That's Tony Corso.
He was Harold Hill.
And that's me in that dress.
I don't know what time period that dress is from.
I don't either.
It looks like something my writer Rick was just wearing.
[LAUGHTER]
But yeah.
That's amazing.
So that was scary for you because you've
done a lot of different things, like you've done scary movies.
And then singing with Ben was scary.
Oh, my God.
Yes.
And what's the scariest thing you've ever
done in your career?
I think it's singing.
I mean, I would really think it more than--
[SCREAMS] Aahhh!
Aahhh!
[APPLAUSE]
[LAUGHS]
Oh, God.
Oh.
That was so much fun.
[LAUGHTER]
Oh, boy.
I absolutely love to be scared like that.
Well, it was a great reaction.
I mean, that was very satisfying.
Let's take a look.
[SCREAMS]
[APPLAUSE]
[LAUGHTER]
Oh, my God.
That was like-- that was like a really good haunted house
in there.
And that's the best.
Yeah.
For free.
Yeah.
All right.
You're welcome.
It's your last time here, I thought
I'd take advantage of it.
Thank you for that.
Hey, is Julianne still here?
Because I want her to hear this.
If you're going to-- can you do a Julianne?
I want to know what the Julianne impression is.
Yeah.
I was listening.
And I was like, what got cut.
So much as cut on SNL, you kind of blink.
No.
I understand.
Yeah.
I--
Wait.
Is she here?
[APPLAUSE]
Well, hello.
Hi.
Share a seat.
Yeah.
Hi.
All right.
Yeah.
I'll do this in front of you.
OK.
I'm meeting you for the first time.
I do a thing.
Is this Julianne Moore laughing or crying?
[LAUGHS]
[APPLAUSE]
I love you.
[LAUGHTER]
You got Julianne like good.
Yeah.
Let's do it together.
Oh, my God.
I can't believe this.
Yeah.
Do it together.
Here we go.
[LAUGHTER]
[APPLAUSE]
It's so good.
I'm so glad.
And you were just saying, you do a great Reese Witherspoon.
All right.
Ellen, I'm so honored to be on your show today.
[LAUGHS]
Seriously.
You like, murder, you murder daytime.
Did you see his lover?
Oh, my God.
Britney Spears.
I am so excited to be here.
I'm going to do a lyrical prayer.
[LAUGHTER]
[APPLAUSE]
Oh, boy.
Jennifer Coolidge.
Oh, wow.
Oh, gosh.
Ellen, you're just like a--
why, you're like a Pina colada.
[LAUGHTER]
With a cherry on top.
What is it about Ellen.
[LAUGHTER]
Frances McDormand.
OK.
I'm hyperventilating.
OK.
Ellen DeGeneres is here.
It's excellent.
