So as I've said, filling in for Ellen today
is seriously the best birthday gift ever,
and you also know now that I'm obsessed with reality TV,
so I literally just found out a second ago
that there's apparently a surprise for me
from some of the real housewives of Beverly Hills.
There's a clip I guess, so let's take a look.
Hi Lea.
Oh my god!
So we know two things about you.
One, you love the housewives, and two, it's your birthday.
So we just wanted to send you some love
on your special, special day.
We know you're doing an amazing job filling in for Ellen
and hope you're having the best time ever.
Oh my god!
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday, Lea!

[MUSIC - DONNA SUMMER, "BAD GIRL"]
Bad girl--
[AUDIENCE CHEERING]
--talkin' 'bout the sad girl.
Sad girl--
Hi!
You guys!
Oh my god!
Happy birthday!
You guys!
Oh my god, you guys, this is very nice.
Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, these are heavy!
[LAUGHING]
This is-- Oh, come right down.
Hi everybody!
How did-- You guys, oh my god, this is crazy.
OK, first of all, I-- first of all,
I'm literally freaking out.
[BOTH LAUGHING]
The first thing that comes to mind
is Rinna, you better not be trying to steal
this co-hosting thing from me.
Oh!
Don't worry, you're doing such a great job.
I am?
An amazing job!
Good.
Isn't she great?
[AUDIENCE CHEERING]
She's the best!
The second, these are amazing and I
wish we could drink this champagne right now.
Me too!
Well, we could.
Right?
We could!
You guys, what is happening?
Are you filming your show right now?
Are you done filming?
When is it coming on?
I-- I-- I-- I--
I have so many things to talk about.
Is Denise Richards gonna be on the show?
There's so many--
That we can say--
Can we?
Yes?
Yes, well, it's already been announced, so yes, Denise is--
What do you guys think about that?
Do you like that?
Yeah, what do you think?
[AUDIENCE CHEERING]
What do you guys--
Oh, look at this!
Ooh.
Oh yeah.
Yes, yes, yes.
We are filming.
OK.
We just started filming.
OK, how many weeks into filming are we?
We are not that far into it and it's already
a hot mess of a situation.
I just--
Oh!
Ooh!
Spoiler alert!
I'm just-- I love the short hair.
Thank you!
I just love it.
Thank you.
I love it so much.
Thank you so much.
It's so great and I love you.
I'm still learning to work with it.
I'm like-- I'm freaking out right now.
This is so crazy, you guys.
OK, so everyone is always having to fashion one-up each other.
Well, it gets harder every year, too.
But it's like--
But I never felt that before, honestly.
It wasn't like, you know--
Well, every has their glam squad now--
No, we don't.
I don't.
No, we don't.
Oh, uh-uh.
We don't.
No.
Not every day we don't.
No, if we're doing a--
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
No, no, no--
I do sometimes, OK.
I do.
--if we're doing our interviews, a sit-down,
what people call "the confessionals,"
we have a glam squad.
Other than that I'm doing my own makeup and hair, which
I'm not great at.
And she's really good at her own make-up and hair.
Makeup, yes, not hair.
Really good.
Does Teddi now have a full glam squad?
She does.
She does--
Whoa.
--sometimes.
Sometimes, not all the time, but sometimes.
You've done how many seasons now?
Nine, this will be the ninth.
She's an OG.
And you're three?
I'm five.
Five, oh my gosh.
Can you believe I'm five?
Wow, that it is--
I feel like it was just yesterday.
Yesterday, me too.
Wow.
I know, it's a long time.
Wow, that's unbelievable.
So what's the best thing and what's the worst thing?
And do you have days where you're just like, I
don't wanna do this right now?
Oh, of course.
I think the best thing is that we do laugh and have fun
sometimes, we really do.
Yeah.
Quite often, actually.
Yeah, we do.
And the worst thing is, you know, we fight
and it's a lot of anxiety-provoking
and it's very stressful.
It's a hard show to do, I have to say, you know,
because you like these women.
I like these women.
It's a group of great, strong women.
So one thing about it is we're very supportive of one another,
but when you get in beef with somebody, like, you know.
I'm gonna tell ya.
You don't always like what they do.
I mean, I have a big mouth and, you know.
No.
It's not easy.
And it's the best to watch on television!
I know!
The best!
You guys, this was the most amazing--
Wait, we have a little something for you.
Oh my gosh, there's more?
We have a little gift.
Can we give it up for these ladies?
[AUDIENCE CHEERING AND APPLAUDING]
This is the most amazing thing.
We will be right back, I'm in heaven, I'm so excited.
This is amazing.
