Hi, everyone at home.
This is very clever.
Isn't this strange?
It's very strange.
I mean, like we have like six people here.
I don't know what's stranger.
That I'm wearing the bottom half of an outfit,
or that looking at everyone in their homes.
This is so great, though.
Well, and we have people from India,
we have people from Australia, and UK.
People from all over the world watching, which is nice.
They don't have to travel and they get to see the show.
Are we ever going to go back to the way
it was, or is this just the way--
I think this is the rest of our lives.
This is it.
Those people will never leave their homes.
I hope we have--
this is so nice to have you here.
And you look fantastic.
I love that you cut your hair.
And now, is that your real hair color?
Yeah, I had-- because I was in Ohio for most of 2020
and I started a big healthy few inches of gray roots came in,
and I just decided I wanted to be free from hair color
and hair extensions.
And and so this is the most authentic.
I love it.
Thank you.
I think it's fantastic.
And I'm not bragging about this because I don't have gray hair.
I mean, I'm trying--
like, I don't want to color my hair.
But if I don't color it, it's just getting-- it's dark.
That's all it is, is dark.
Dark, like brown?
Kind of.
Like dark, dirty-- dirty blonde.
Which is a weird name, dirty blonde.
But yeah, I'd love to stop coloring my hair.
Just do it.
I will, but it'll be drab.
It'll be like, blah.
I don't think so, because your eyes are so blue and beautiful.
Really?
Yeah.
I'm so glad you're here.
I think you could hanlde it.
So glad you're here.
I'm not going to color my hair anymore, just because of you.
That's it.
I'm done.
Look what I did.
Anyway, I'm glad you're here.
I'm glad i'm here too.
And you're doing a lot of press at home.
But see, here's the difference between being here and being
at home.
We don't see moments like this, which I thought was hilarious.
The pressure of being built up, of being ignored for so long.
When you burst that button, it's--
I have not seen yet.
That is hysterical.
Perfect timing too, of what I was saying.
Just a burst that bubble.
They just exploded.
What was happening?
Do you know?
Well my dogs, they either behave really well
or they-- who knows?
They just erupt in loud barks at odd, you you.
I don't hear anything but they do and you can't predict it.
Maybe you have a ghost in your house.
Maybe I do.
Thank you for that.
Another sleepless night tonight.
When they behave, they've given me--
I've gotten good ratings on room rater, I think it's called.
With everyone doing interviews at home,
and they sometimes they behave very well
and they're sort of draped casually over the furniture,
and they just add a lovely--
but then sometimes they don't.
And then sometimes they don't.
Yeah, our dogs are the same.
But if any anybody walks in it's that.
Yeah.
Exactly.
What are you watching on television these days,
because I'm running out of things to watch
and I just am always asking people.
I have been watching a lot of foreign things.
Wonderful show called Veneno on HBO Max.
And a show called Call My Agent, which is in French.
I have to watch them with English subtitles.
And now I feel like I'm so addicted
to watching things in subtitles I even
watch Seinfeld with English subtitles.
I watch Modern Family with English subtitles.
I don't know if it's because I'm older,
or if I just, I get in my reading and watching
TV at the same time.
I don't know.
So it's not like watching TV.
It's more like reading.
I'm reading, yes.
You're not watching TV.
No.
You're reading.
Makes it less guilty.
I will watch a movie with subtitles if I have to,
but it's hard for me if you're trying to watch--
because I love people's facial expressions.
To have to read it and then.
You're right, and I do.
I do fall into that I realize.
When watching, just reading and not
looking at these actor's faces.
Not nearly as fun.
No.
But there's so much great television out there.
I mean, I'm probably watching too much,
but we all are right now.
I think we all are.
Bling Empire is what I've been--
I started watching that too.
Yeah.
That's going to be a fun ride.
Yeah, it's good.
It's a fun ride.
We had Cain one.
You did?
Yeah, we did.
Yeah.
You'll enjoy it.
It's somethign.
Hey, congratulations on Mom.
You're nominated for three Critics' Choice Awards.
I mean, that's a big deal.
It kind of is, because the network shows
tend to get pushed aside because there's so many great shows
in all the other--
and so to get a nom in our eighth season,
and for Bill Fichtner and Jamie Pressly to get recognized.
They're so wonderful and I'm really proud.
Yeah, you should be.
Three Critics' Choice Awards.
Now, was weird to go back because Anna Faris is not there
anymore.
That must have been weird.
Yeah, it was very odd.
And she's very missed.
Anna is missed and her character on the show is missed.
And we're just happy that she's doing what she wants to do now,
and we're happy even more so that we're
able to still tell these stories about these great women
and recovery.
And I think there's some really wonderful characters that
have been established.
And people love the show, so we're
going to keep telling the stories as long as we can.
Good.
That's what people want.
But congratulations.
That's really great.
This is really cool.
Your niece is doing something that I
love to hear stories like this.
Tell people what your niece is doing.
My niece is the coolest, one of the coolest women I know.
I'm so proud of her.
She got her pilot's license about a year ago.
And she is an animal lover.
I like to think that I was part that part of her.
And she found this organization called Amelia Air Rescue.
And she started volunteering.
And now she got a pilot's license,
she is now rescuing pets from overcrowded kill shelters,
and taking them to more populated areas
where they can find their forever homes.
And it's just an extraordinary organization
and you all should follow it.
It's at Amelia Air Rescue and then or ameliaair.org.
And I'm so proud of what she's doing.
And we'll put it on our website too, if you didn't get that.
Because I want to support that.
I love that.
Because there are a lot of shelters that are overcrowded
and they can move them someplace and they'll get adopted.
Yeah.
That's exactly-- there's sort of a missing link there.
And the fact that she does that on the weekends,
goes and rescues dogs and flies them.
I love that.
What a cool woman.
That's amazing.
She's awesome.
All right.
I'm so happy you're here.
We're going to take a break and we'll
be back with Allison Janney.
That is Breaking News in Yuba County.
It is so hilarious.
This poor woman, no one's paying attention to you.
And as friendly as you try to be,
tell everybody sort of the gist of the movie.
I'm basically the world's largest invisible woman,
as Sue Buttons is in this movie.
Just a woman who's been ignored her whole life.
Under appreciated by her family, by her husband.
Just at work, just ignored and invisible.
And she wants, she craves to have attention and be loved,
and be seen.
And an opportunity arises and she
makes a decision that sort of opens a Pandora's box of chaos
that she had no idea.
So many different storylines start merging,
and it's just an extraordinary chaotic,
fun, crazy, ride, with some of the most incredible actors
ever assembled.
And I couldn't believe all of the great people who
came to do this movie.
Mila was just on.
Mila.
Wanda.
Sykes.
Juliette Lewis.
Awkwafina.
It starts out really, really sweet and really funny,
and then it turns its corner, and it gets real real dark
and you do some terrible things.
No, I don't.
You start lying, and covering up.
Anyway, there's a scene we just showed, the scene with you
and Awkwafina where she is really bad.
She's a really bad person, Awkwafina.
And she puts her fingers in your mouth.
And I was wondering if that was in the script
or that surprised you.
That, yeah, that was a surprise.
And it was--
I just went with it because I didn't like, that as an actor
I'll go with whatever.
I'm like, OK, you're putting your fingers in my mouth now.
And I choked a little bit and it was just--
Awkwafina is so hilarious.
She'll just go with whatever.
She's brilliant.
And then so I used that in another scene
with Bridget Everett, which was really fun.
Yeah, that's what's hilarious when you try that with somebody
else.
You're so lame at it.
So when she did that to you to suprise you,
you decided to add that to the script to go, I'll do that too.
Yes.
Well, I'm going to threaten her because I learned
from Awkwafina how to be a tough ass
and I'm going to do that to Bridget Everett.
It was hilarious.
Now, and how many people live together?
I heard that the cast lived together.
All of you?
Yeah.
I mean, Tate Taylor the director,
when you work with him it's like an experience.
You're not just going to make a movie,
you're going to have a whole experience.
He's got these wonderful homes that
are within walking distance of each other.
So everyone could either, you could
stay in a hotel in town and Naches,
or stay on his property.
And everyone mostly chose to do that because.
Oh, it's his property?
It's his property.
And it's just, everyone would eat together.
We would get crazy.
Well, I didn't have any scenes with Wanda,
but we got to dance in the kitchen together
one night having a little bit too much wine, and being silly.
And just getting to live together
and get to know each other.
Sit on the front porch, watch a rainstorm come in.
It was the actor camp.
It was just so much fun.
I heard there was some skinny dipping happening.
Yeah, there was skinny dipping.
And there was other things that I'm not
at liberty to share with you on television.
That's OK.
You don't have to.
But the cast is great.
The movie is hilarious.
And I just I highly recommend it,
because it is just, oh my God, your character.
And I just told you during the break.
I just love you and everything you do.
You're such a brilliant actress.
You are so good at everything you do.
And you're hilarious, and I just love you.
I just love you.
All right.
We're going to play a game after this.
We'll be back.
