♪♪ >>> WELCOME BACK TO "TODAY'S
TAKE," WITH OUR SPECIAL GUEST CO-HOST, ELLIE KEMPER.
>> IT'S SO NICE TO HAVE YOU HERE.
IT'S SO FUN. >> I CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR BRIAN'S
PROPOSAL TO YOU. WE'LL SET IT UP.
CHANNING TATUM IS KNOWN FOR HIS "MAGIC MIKE" MOVES.
BUT HE MADE A TERRIBLE JOKE ON HIS WIFE, JENNA.
I TOLD HER I NEVER WANTED TO GET MARRIED TO TRI TO THROW HER OFF.
HE DIDN'T BELIEVE IN THE INSTITUTION OF MARRIAGE.
HE WAS LIKE, I DIDN'T WANT TO GET MARRIED.
SHE BREAKS DOWN IN TEARS. AND HE REALIZED THAT IT DIDN'T
GO WELL. HE ENDED UP PROPOSING SOONER
THAN LATER BECAUSE SHE WAS TRAUMATIZED BY IT.
>> I SEE HIM TRYING TO THROW HER OFF.
HE MAYBE TOOK IT TOO FAR. >> I NEVER WANT TO GET MARRIED.
AND HE DIDN'T BREAK. SHOOT, DO I STAY?
I GUESS I SHOULD STAY. BUT I KIND OF WANT TO GET
MARRIED. >> DO YOU HAVE GOOD PROPOSAL
STORIES? >> I LOVE MY HUSBAND.
MICHAEL, I LOVE YOU. YOU DID NOT PROPOSE WELL.
>> WHAT DID HE DO? >> HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING.
THREE TIMES, THE SUBJECT OF MARRIAGE CAME UP.
AW. HE'S MY GOOD HUSBAND.
HE WASN'T GOOD AT PROPOSING. MY FORMER BOSS WAS LIKE, YOU
NEED TO MAKE UP A STORY AND TELL IT.
>> WHAT HAPPENED? >> THE FIRST TIME HE WAS LIKE, I
DON'T HAVE THE RING, BUT ONE DAY MAYBE WE'LL GET MARRIED.
THEN, IT WAS A WEIRD -- AM I SUPPOSED TO SAY YES TO THAT.
>> WAS HE ASKING? >> I DON'T KNOW.
>> THE SECOND TIME, HERE'S THE RING.
HIS BEAUTIFUL GRANDMOTHER'S RING.
AND I'M -- WE CAN GET MARRIED AT SOME POINT.
IT WAS PUT OFF. AND THE FINAL THING HE ASKED ME,
WHEN I WAS LEAVING FOR NEW YORK. HE ASKED ME TO MARRY HIM, I GOT
ON A PLANE AND LEFT FOR A WEEK. >> OH.
>> I LOVE HIM. BUT THAT'S NOT A PROPOSAL.
>> ARE WE ENGAGED? WHERE DO WE STAND HERE?
SEE YOU IN A WEEK. >> DON'T THEY SAY BAD PROPOSAL,
GREAT MARRIAGE. >> BEAUTIFUL BABIES.
JUST MADE THAT UP. >> WE MADE IT UP.
>> WHAT ARE YOUR STORIES? >> MINE ARE STRANGE BECAUSE THEY
WERE PLANNING A BIG BACKYARD PARTY AT MY HUSBAND'S PARENTS'
HOUSE BECAUSE HIS GRANDMOTHER, HIS NANA, HAD JUST BEAT LUNG
CANCER. WE WERE HAVING A CANCER-FREE
PARTY. I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT.
WEIRD BUT OKAY. LET'S DO IT.
LET'S HAVE THE FAMILY TOGETHER. IT WAS GOING TO BE A FANCY
CANCER-FREE PARTY. WE WERE SUPPOSED TO DRESS UP
NICE. WE PULL UP TO BRIAN'S PARENTS
HOUSE. AND HE BRINGS ME THROUGH THE
FRONT DOOR. WE NEVER GO TO THE FRONT DOOR.
IT WAS A BOTTLE OF CHAMPAGNE AND TWO GLASSES.
HIS SISTER OPENS UP THE DOOR LIKE, OH, IT'S HAPPENING NOW.
BRIAN'S LIKE, OH, GREAT. THE CAT'S OUT OF THE BAG.
HE GOES THROUGH HIS PROPOSAL. AND IT WAS WONDERFUL AND SWEET.
HE SAID ALL THE RIGHT THINGS. AND IN THE BACKYARD, MY WHOLE
FAMILY, MY BEST FRIENDS, MY
COUSIN. EVERYBODY WAS THERE TO CELEBRATE
OUR ENGAGEMENT. >> THAT'S SO NICE.
>> WE SHOULD HAVE SAVED THIS STORY FOR LAST.
>> YOURS WAS GREAT. >> YOURS IS OKAY.
>> NOW, IT'S LIKE -- IT'S FINE. NOTHING EPIC.
I AM HAPPY. LOTS OF KIDS.
WE WENT TO NORTHWESTERN. AND ONE OF OUR SPOTS WAS ON LAKE
MICHIGAN WITH THE ROCKS OR WHATEVER.
WE WERE IN CHICAGO VISITING. WE SHOULD GO BY THE ROCKS.
AND WE DRIVE OVER THERE. AND IT WAS DARK AND RAINING.
HE'S LIKE, LET'S GET OUT. IT'S HAIR.
I'M NOT GETTING OUT OF THE CAR. SERIOUSLY, LET'S GET OUT.
IT WILL BE FUN. I'M LIKE, NO.
THIRD TIME, I'M LIKE, FINE. I GET OUT.
AND THEN, HE GETS ON HIS KNEE. AND I'M LIKE OH.
>> BUT THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT TO HAVE HAPPEN.
>> YOU DON'T SEE IT COMING. >> RIGHT.
>> AT ALL. THAT'S SO COOL.
>> THERE WAS A TIME WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT THIS.
I THOUGHT IT WAS HAPPENING. WE WERE ON VACATION IN MEXICO.
AND I WAS LIKE -- IT WAS LIKE THE LAST DAY.
AND I WAS KIND OF LIKE -- AND WE FLEW BACK.
AND I WAS LIKE, I GUESS IT'S NOT HAPPENING.
>> I KNOW. I SAID AT ONE POINT.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO PROPOSE ON THAT TRIP.
HE WAS LIKE, OH, I'M SORRY. >> THAT'S SO
