So everyone is making a comeback,
like so Will and Grace and Roseanne.
So Mad About You?
Is that going to happen?
I hope it is.
It's not for sure yet.
I will say Paul Reiser is in my kitchen
a good amount because we're talking about how
to make it and not wreck it.
Because we're proud of what we did.
Right.
So I hope so.
Wow!
That would be amazing.
[APPLAUSE]
Yeah.
It would be fun.
Yeah.
[CHEERS]
My daughter has not seen really anything I've done,
and doesn't care about Mad About You really one tiny bit.
But now because of Stranger Things when Paul says-- like,
Paul's on the phone, I'm like that's--
I was on that show too, but she doesn't care.
She's never seen it?
No.
Oh.
How dare she?
How dare she.
So I was on Mad About You, and I don't remember it.
Do you remember it?
I remember feeling that you were highly overqualified
for the job, and that we were such fans of yours.
We begged you.
You said yes.
And then I'm kind of imagining you were thinking,
what am I doing here really?
No.
But I believe you were our nanny.
Aww.
[LAUGHS]
[APPLAUSE]
Well, we're all like babies.
Look how young--
Who are those people?
None of us look like we look.
Wait, so who looked up?
They found a Czech version?
This is on in Czechoslovakia.
And we couldn't find any--
We're huge in Czechoslovakia.
Huge.
So we can't even travel there.
[LAUGHTER]
I want to see what this looks like.
Because then it'll give me a flashback of what I did.
[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
[LAUGHTER]
Wow.
[INAUDIBLE]
Oh, wow.
I don't have any memory of that at all.
[LAUGHTER]
None.
That's crazy.
But you are directing a lot now too.
And you're directing an episode of Splitting Up Together,
my show that I have on ABC.
Yes, produced by you.
Yes.
It's so beautiful.
It's a great show.
It's beautiful, unusual, lovely show.
[APPLAUSE]
And you're directing the one that airs next week, I think.
I think I did in the end.
Yeah.
So love story about two people who are not together but
are raising kids.
It's beautiful.
So watch it, watch it.
Yeah.
It's a great idea, splitting up together.
But let's talk about The Miracle Season.
So this is the new movie, and you play a coach.
And the coach is in the audience.
She is?
Where is she?
She's right there.
Straight ahead.
[APPLAUSE]
Kathy Bresnahan.
So it's playing-- this is based on a true story.
Yes.
This is the true story of Kathy and her girls volleyball team
at West High in Iowa City, and the found family in this town,
and this family and this team went through more
than any group of people should go through.
And this is a movie about how, with Kathy's help,
they stood back up and marched ahead.
And I'm so proud to be in it.
I didn't even realize.
I just got the part, and wanted to not suck,
which is usually my goal.
Just try not to suck.
Yep.
The bar is low for me, but that's where I put it.
And it never occurred to me until I
was standing on this court surrounded
by these women like in that clip,
telling them they got themselves here.
I love them, which you don't hear a lot of coaches
in a lot of sports movies saying.
What a potent thing it was, and how
it was the perfect part for me, and how lucky
I was to be in it.
And the day I met Kathy, before she said anything,
she said if this movie comes out and you're on The Ellen Show,
I want to be there.
Pinky promise.
[LAUGHTER]
[APPLAUSE]
The first day, I swear to God.
That's so sweet.
So we did it.
Thank you.
That's when I was like, yeah, whatever.
It's not going to happen, but fine.
And here we are.
Yeah.
Well, thanks for being here.
What an awesome story.
Thank you so much.
And it's great seeing you.
So good to see you.
As always.
The Miracle Season is in theaters now.
