-Guys, of course, you would come together
and make a funny, funny book.
Congrats on this. What made you think of writing this?
-When we started on social "medya"...
-Oh, so UK of you. -Yes. Thank you.
It seemed like people
were rather enamored of us as a couple.
And, so, Nick has already written a few books.
And I said, "Hey, why don't we write a book about our relaysh?"
[ Laughter ] And he was like -- he was like,
"Nah." -"Our relaysh."
-And then finally we did. Yeah.
-But it's perfectly funny. It's exactly you guys.
It's almost like a conversation of you two just --
It's perfectly you guys. -It is.
It is all conversation.
We've laid in bed with the tape recorder, the tape, you know,
the thing on Nick's phone.
[ Laughter ]
And I would throw out a topic
and we would just start talking about that topic.
So it is literally conversations between Nick and I.
-The photos... -And the photos.
-...were gorgeous as well. I mean, they're great.
I mean, this is a photo called "The Story of How We Met."
[ Laughter ]
-Megan art directed all these photos.
-You did? You art directed these?
-Yeah, they let me design the whole book.
-She designed all of it. -This might be my favorite one.
This is "Paper Doll."
[ Laughter ]
This is like a punk ska band you were in or something?
I love that. [ Audience cheering ]
And then, of course, the author photo on the back,
which is very important for any book to be successful.
This is your author photo.
I just think that's --
[ Laughter ]
Oh, my God. That is exactly right.
That is how you do it.
What is the secret?
"The Greatest Love Story Ever Told."
What is the secret to love? What is...?
-Any marriage is like a garden.
You have to pull the weeds and fertilize the soil...
[ Laughter ]
...if you want to enjoy the delicious tomatoes.
[ Laughter ]
-Interesting. All right, well...
It has great life advice.
And really funny stuff in here.
And I just thought that maybe --
I was wondering if you would be interested
in giving us a little reading?
-Oh. -Since we're all here. I mean --
[ Cheers and applause ]
Is that okay? -Sure.
There is nothing I love more than a good reading.
With that in mind, it's time for another installment
of "'Tonight Show' G'Readings."
-♪ 'Tonight Show' G'Readings ♪
♪ 'Tonight Show' G'Readings ♪
[ Cheers and applause ]
-All right.
[ Clears throat ]
-[ Clears throat ]
This is from the introduction of the book.
-We have ground-breakingly divided this searing examination
of a relationship between two human beings
into chapters with different subject matters and headings.
It's an oral history presented to you in an organized,
yet playful fashion,
dotted here and there with photography and cute drawings.
[ Light laughter ]
-Before you dive in, make sure you've had a good meal.
[ Laughter ]
You'll want to make sure you're hydrated.
And if you're of age,
a little bit of intoxication
would not hurt the consumption of this tome.
[ Laughter ]
And then you may want to buckle up.
Actually, strap into a seat,
because otherwise you might end up on the floor.
If you're wearing a hat, go ahead and remove it,
because it's guaranteed to fly off by the end of chapter three.
[ Laughter ]
-All right. I don't think we've oversold it.
-No, I don't think that of the many dangers facing us.
-I think we've exercised a good deal of restraint
in our own praise of our own book about ourselves.
[ Laughter ]
-Antony and Cleopatra... -[Bleep] off.
[ Laughter ]
-Samson and Delilah... -Get lost.
-Bogart and Bacall... -Never had a chance.
-Suck it! -All right.
See you guys at the book. -See you there.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-It's so much fun.
Megan Mullally. Nick Offerman.
That's how fun the book is!
