We got a letter last week from two
best friends who said that they're Justin's number one
fans.
And their dream is to come to the show to meet Justin.
Here's what the letter says.
It says, "Dear Ellen--
You know what?
It's--
I've got to interrupt you.
Well, OK.
You were so great at the ceremony.
And I had something there for you.
I left it at the ceremony, but I brought it here.
Can I--
I like a gift.
Yes.
It's a surprise.
OK?
Oh, you're going to get it?
Let me go get it.
I'll be right back.
All right.
[APPLAUSE]
[MUSIC - NSYNC, "TEARIN' UP MY HEART"]
(SINGING) It's tearing up my heart when I'm with you.
When we are apart, I feel it too.
And no matter what I do, I feel the pain.
With or without you.
I can't hear you.
I'm gay, too.
Oh, you are?
Yes.
Come on over.
[CHEERING]
Oh, it's official.
Make sure it comes up to that.
Look at that.
It's official.
No, it's not mine.
No?
It's not yours?
I bought it.
Hey, everybody.
How's it going?
Hi, Ellen!
Hi!
So--
[CHEERING]
We thought we would surprise the audience and have all of you
together for the first time in a long time.
It's been a while.
[CHEERING]
And I have these bobble-heads.
So I was hoping you'd come by.
Oh, Joey.
Joey!
Joey, no!
Joey!
[INAUDIBLE]
No, Joey.
Hold onto yourself.
Oh, poor Joey.
Oh, my God.
How dare you?
No.
That was great television.
That was terrible.
And here I am, right here.
And by the way, I've never had a soul patch in my life.
And I have no idea why they immortalized that.
I know.
Why did they add that?
That's crazy.
They look so accurate.
Well, the outfits-- we have to talk about some of the outfits
that you all have had over the years.
No, we really don't.
We have to talk about them.
[CHEERING]
You had a jumpsuit on.
It was a one piece, wasn't it?
It was a onesie?
I did.
Yeah.
That is horrible.
That's not bad.
God, that is brand new, right?
That's like--
No facial hair.
No.
I guess I'm a referee.
Babies.
You were babies there.
This makes me highly uncomfortable.
How about now?
That look makes you look uncomfortable.
That's not bad.
You all look like you're always in winter, skiing somewhere.
Well, we started in Germany, so we were--
There we go.
That's not bad.
It's getting better.
It's not bad.
But really-- no.
That's enough, right?
That's enough.
Do we get the idea?
Good.
That's enough.
Have you all kept in touch?
Do you text?
Yes, we actually have a very ridiculous kind of group chat.
Why'd you look at me?
It's easy.
Because you're the most ridiculous.
But yeah, that's the easiest way.
You have a nice little group chat.
And everybody who you run into is like, I
want to see the group chat.
And you're like, no.
Trust me, you don't want to see it.
It's like this.
Except in text version.
It is.
So the last time you performed together
was five years ago at the MTV Awards, right?
Yes.
And was--
We were honoring this one, right here.
Yes.
He's done some wonderful stuff.
Yeah, was that fun to do that again?
I was scared [BLEEP].
Were you really?
I was.
You can't say--
You can't say that?
No.
I've seen it.
I've watched Ellen.
They bleep it out.
Yeah.
But it was.
Seriously, because obviously we haven't performed together
as a group.
We were rehearsing everything else.
So it was really one of those things
that was like, we're doing this again.
Especially when we got together to rehearse,
we're looking at each other going, all right.
We're just going to sing, right?
And they're like, no.
We're going to dance.
So me and Chris looked at each other.
He goes, oh, great.
Here we go.
Yeah, we were two seconds--
We were told at first that we were just singing, by the way.
It was, yeah, come out.
We're just going to sing a little bit.
Me and Joey are like, cool.
We can step touch.
We can do that.
It's going be great.
And then the choreographer shows up.
And we're like, wait, what?
A lot of Tylenol.
Well, yeah, because it had been a while.
All right, so you get the star on the Walk of Fame.
And we talked to Justin about that.
It was beautiful what you said today, Lance.
It was great, man.
It came from the heart.
[APPLAUSE]
What does it mean to you?
And what does it feel like?
It's amazing.
As far as the star is concerned, it's surreal to me.
Because it's something that--
when we were younger, actually--
I think when we came here, to Hollywood,
we were actually shooting one of our videos
that was for Germany or something like that.
And I remember we came around here.
And we're like, oh, let's do the touristy things.
And you always look at all the different people
that are on there.
And you're like, man, one day, hopefully, that
would be nice to have that.
And it's actually really surreal in a sense,
but exciting to be able to have my kids, my two daughters,
be able to walk down the street in Hollywood--
not like walk down the street in Hollywood at night.
But as far as seeing the star's concerned--
Joe!
Some day, we can all dream.
I can promise you this.
They'd be scared [BLEEP].
Exactly.
100%.
But it's amazing.
Because like I said, it's a legacy that we're living,
which is kind of cool.
So our great, great, great, great grandkids
are going to be able to see that.
I think that's what's cool about it.
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.
