Thank you for being here.
I appreciate it today more than ever, more
than I did yesterday, and tomorrow I
will appreciate it more tomorrow than today because life
is short.
I have mentioned before that we tape the show in advance,
and we taped yesterday's show last week.
Whoof.
Today is Monday, and yesterday was Sunday.
It happened to be my birthday and the Grammy Awards.
I was nominated.
I didn't win.
Not the point.
[LAUGHTER]
Yesterday was supposed to be a celebratory day,
and then we got tragic news about Kobe Bryant,
and everything changed in a second.
And that's what I want to talk about.
Life is short, and it's fragile, and we don't know
how many birthdays we have.
So just-- we don't have to have a birthday to celebrate.
Just celebrate life.
And if you haven't told someone you love them, do it now.
Do it.
Tell people you love them.
Call your friends.
Text your friends.
Hug them.
Kiss them.
Be nice to the people at the DMV.
They're people.
[LAUGHTER]
Be nice to them.
And I love each and every one of you.
I know that you wait for tickets, and you get here,
and you pick out your TV outfits,
and you do your TV hair.
And I appreciate it very much.
And I know that I am lucky to have
a wife who loves me so much even though I don't have a Grammy.
[LAUGHTER]
I get to come to work every single day with people
who make me laugh.
I love everybody I work with.
And I can't believe I get to introduce this amazing guy
every single day.
I love him so much.
This is tWitch.
[MUSIC - ANDERSON .PAAK, "COME DOWN"]
(SINGING) If I get too high, now, Sugar, come on.
I might never come down.
Never come down.
You know I might never come down.
Let me get down.
You might not never come down.
Now, let me comd down.
Now, you might might never come down.
Let me come down.
It took too long to get this high off the ground.
Don't run.
Just stay awhile.
Come on.
Can't beat it.
Can't beat it with the big bad door.
Can't see her with these pitch-black Gucci pants one.
Let me take these bitches off.
Let me get the full scope.
Hold up.
Huh, full screen.
HD.
Let me take another picture.
Let me pull it to the preshow.
Whoa.
Cool beans, cool beans.
That's a whole lot of reefer.
Let me help me you with the preroll.
You drank up all my liquor.
Come on.
What I'm supposed to do now?
You talking all that sh--.
Come on.
You gonna have to back it up.
If I get too high now, sugar, come on,
I might never come down-- never come down.
You know I might never come down.
Let me get down.
You might--
[APPLAUSE]
I love you.
First off, happy birthday, and I love you.
I love you.
Honestly, with that being said, there's like--
and I'm sure you all can agree that, like, this
is the perfect place to be right now.
When you need this kind of inspiration
and a little boost of love like this,
there's no better place to be than with you
to kind of get this right now.
So thank you, and I love you.
[APPLAUSE]
Yeah, literally I was backstage before the show started.
That's why it took me a minute to get out here
because I was seeing to tWitch, because we've both
been sad today--
and I said, we're going to go out there
and we're going to just fill the room with love because that's
what everyone needs, and then I come out here and fall apart.
I'm so sorry.
Hi, I'm Andy.
Ellen asked me to remind you to subscribe to her channel
so you can see more awesome videos like videos
of me getting scared or saying embarrassing things,
like ball peen hammer, and also some videos of Ellen
and other celebrities, if you're into that sort of thing.
