Here is Chrissy Teigen!
Ahh! Come on! -Thank you! Whoo!
-Look at you. -Can I -- I need to walk out.
-I know. Maybe we can, like --
-It makes me sad. It's okay.
-We can get you some walk-out music for that.
Come on. -I'll trip over something.
-Thank you for doing this. -Hi.
-You look fantastic.
I actually miss seeing your face.
-Thank you. -I wanted to ask you about this.
You were one of the 13 people that the President --
President Biden followed on Twitter
with the official @POTUS account.
I was so excited that you -- I was like, "This is so cool."
'Cause, honestly, you're so refreshing and fun on socials.
And you were very excited about it, too.
But then a few weeks later -- -So excited.
-And this is why I love you --
You asked the President to unfollow you.
Do you remember -- -[ Laughs ]
-Do you remember the exact moment you thought
that that was a bad idea to have President Biden follow you?
-The second it happened, I was like, "Oh [bleep]."
And I truly -- I think I sent like two tweets --
Sorry. Sorry.
I sent like two tweets in, like, two weeks,
and people were worried.
They were like, "What is going on?"
And, like, listen, I know -- I don't believe
that he thought -- maybe -- I don't believe he's like Trump
and actively really scrolling through,
but it was so amazing that he followed me
'cause I had been shunned for -- for four years.
I couldn't see anything that was being said, and I --
So it was -- it was -- I loved the statement of that.
But then it just became too much.
And, also, when you're on that list, a bunch of weird people
go to his account, and they don't know you at all,
so they're like, "Who's this chick?"
And then they come to my page, and it's just a hellhole.
-[ Laughs ] Oh, please.
-So it was like -- It was really --
It was so much better.
Yeah, so life is better now.
-Were you so excited at the inauguration?
Was that -- Or was it just freezing or was it both?
-Oh, inauguration was freezing and amazing and beautiful.
And I didn't know that John's performance
at the Washington Monument was a secret,
so I Instagrammed the whole thing,
like, the day before for rehearsal.
-[ Laughs ] Oh, my gosh. -And then I got in trouble.
-"Oops." [ Laughs ] -Oh, my God.
I remember I was so scared 'cause I --
We ran into Katy Perry after. And I always say dumb things.
Like, I always get so nervous and I say faux pas.
I hadn't seen Katy for so long.
And I was like, "Oh, I typically hate fireworks...
but that was, like, amazing.
That was beautiful."
And then I think she heard that I said
I hate "Firework," like, the song.
-Yeah. Like, "That's my song."
-And so -- I know! And I wanted to die!
I felt so bad. -"That's not what I meant."
-I was like, "No, no, no, not 'Fireworks.'"
Ugh! I always do that.
-But I kind of agree with you on fireworks.
I think they go on a little too long for me.
-Yes. They don't -- Yeah, it's like bad improv or something,
and it's like two minutes too long.
And I don't get fountains, either.
Fountains and fireworks are just two nos for me.
-[ Laughs ] Yeah. Fountains.
I wouldn't invest in a fountain. I don't mind looking at one.
I just don't -- I don't if I -- -I don't get it.
I just don't get -- The Grove. The people at the Grove
that sit around and take pictures around the fountain --
It's like -- It's a hose. I don't get it.
-I want to talk about "Cravings."
I want to talk about your cookbook.
You're finishing up your third cookbook.
Congrats on this. -Yeah, thanks.
-There's going to be 100 recipes in this thing.
-I had 99 recipes, and so, for 100, I just, like,
buttered a bunch of Gardetto's and stuffed it in a pita.
And then it was supposed to be, like, a joke recipe,
but then we -- it's actually really good.
-Oh, really? -But I promise the rest
of the recipes are really serious and they're good.
-No, I follow you, and I see what you do.
You actually -- You go for it, by the way.
And I love that you test everything.
Can you talk about the mandolin and trying that for the --
-Oh! -Was it Super Bowl Sunday?
-That was the Super Bowl. -Yeah.
-Super Bowl Sunday, John -- I brought a mandolin at Ralph's,
and we were making scalloped potatoes.
And John was watching the game and doing the mandolin,
and you just -- That's a big no-no.
You can't watch anything while doing it.
And he sliced off the tip of his finger.
And fingers are all John needs in life, basically,
so I was like, "You idiot!"
He started running it under water,
and he was like, "I'm not gonna go to the emergency room.
I want to watch the game."
So it's just flapping around, his finger.
And I was like, "You idiot, give it to me."
And then I did one pass,
and I chopped off the tip of my finger, too,
and then I dragged him to the emergency room.
-We have a photo. -I brought him to the E.R.
-We have a photo of you guys.
That's you at the hospital. That's you at the hospital.
-I brought him so we could get special treatment.
I drag John everywhere so I can get better treatment.
-Winners, man. Thumbs up, and a finger up like,
"Hey, number one, man." -Yep.
-Hey, pal. I want to show you something.
Look at this.
I want to talk about the Cravings Shop.
-Aah! Yes!
-Dude, talk to me about this.
-The chocolates are, honestly, so incredible.
They're all my recipes inside a Compartes chocolate bar,
which is already, like, so --
I learned that I fell in love with white chocolate.
Theirs is so creamy and delicious.
And my famous banana bread is crumbled up into it.
And carrot cake. And it's just so delicious.
We have, you know, the crystals that are so much fun to wear.
I decided in this pandemic that you're wearing a mask,
and I'm just very into wearing something
with some kind of flair,
and so we did these beautiful crystals.
My friend, Nova, did them, and they're so awesome.
And, honestly, they're not
just for Coachella anymore, I decided.
I want to actively wear crystals.
-Let me see. Are they hard to wear?
-[ Laughs ] I love you.
-Let's see.
-It's beautiful! -Oh, thank you.
-Oh, my God! See? -It's good. I like it.
And it's, like, kind of subtle, but it's beautiful,
and, honestly, it makes me feel good.
I love it.
-Don't you just feel better?
-Dude, I do feel better. -Chrissy, sales are down.
-Wait. Sales are down. Take the crystals off, Jimmy.
Exactly. You don't want me as a model.
I'll tell you what, though. I don't know if a lot
of people realize how much work goes into these things,
to even have your name on one thing.
I know you. We've known each other for a long time now.
This is years in the making.
It's not like, "Oh, hey, Chrissy,
in two months, just put your name on this."
You go, "No, no, no. I got to do this..."
-Yeah, I'm telling you. It's years, years, years.
So when it does come out, it seems like,
"Oh, surprise, it's a shop."
But, yeah, it's a lot of hard work, so thank you.
It's my baby, and I -- Yeah, we're a small little company,
and it's just really fun to do it all.
-Good for you guys.
I got the latest addition to the Cravings Shop,
and this is very you.
You have your own line of robes.
-[ Laughs ] I have robes.
That's the Basic Bitch Terry.
-[ Laughs ] Is that what it's called?
-Yeah, it's just basic. I didn't want bulky pockets.
I didn't want a tie that would fall off.
I didn't want anything -- It's just a basic-ass --
[ Laughs ]
-Do you just wear this around the house and stuff?
-Yes, it's so -- It's really short, too.
-It is tiny.
-No. Well, you're tall, so it's going to be short on you.
But, yeah, you can roll up the sleeves, wear your crystals.
I love you. -No, this is fantastic.
It is a little short, but I think --
You know what? It's a little sexy.
-You're tall. -This is --
No, no. This is the new -- -That's the thing.
Those robes are usually bulky and lame,
so I wanted it to have some sex appeal.
"I've given up, but not entirely."
That's what it says.
That's a robe that screams
"I've given up, but not entirely."
-I love the Basic Bitch Terry.
You have the cookbook. You have all this cooking stuff.
Will there ever be a Chrissy Teigen restaurant?
-Oh, my God! There is --
We are chatting about it right now,
and I have looked at some incredible spaces.
I don't know if it's so much a restaurant as it is,
you know, a sitdown, fast, casual establishment.
But I have dreams of, like, a beautiful mezzanine
and John playing the piano
and it raining down on the block.
I mean, I really -- I just want to pretty much live there
and take pictures with people and -- Yeah.
-I think this is a good start right here. Congrats.
Chrissy Teigen, everybody.
