- Congratulations.
I saw you at the People's Choice Awards the other night.
- Thank you. You too.
- It was fun, right? - It was so fun.
- So many good people there.
- Oh, my God.
That was a blast, yeah.
That was so much fun.
That was--we saw you there.
You guys were looking amazing.
- We saw you there, and Portia and I were like,
"What is she doing? Look at those arms."
You're-- - [laughs]
That was a heavy trophy. - It is heavy.
- I was, like, lifting, like, 25 pounds.
Look at that. I love that.
I want to frame that.
I love that picture. - Yeah.
They were taking a picture of you--
the whole cast, and I was on my way out,
so I just stopped and--
- Yeah. [laughter]
- We just ran right in front of the camera.
- That was a great photobomb. both: Yeah.
- That was awesome. - That was fun.
So you forgot to--
I understand you forgot to thank your husband.
- I forgot to thank my husband.
It didn't go-- yeah, I completely blanked.
But don't worry, I had my ex-boyfriend thank him
at the end of the night, so it worked out great for me.
- Right. - Yeah.
Johnny really swooped in for me there.
- Do people know that Johnny is your ex-boyfriend?
Johnny Galecki.
- It's funny, 'cause I-- yeah.
I think most people kind of know.
You know, we're such good--
he literally thanked my husband for me.
It was, like, the nicest thing.
- So you went up first, and then you forgot.
And then "The Big Bang Theory" won for the show,
and then he thanked your husband.
- And then Johnny said to Ryan, you know,
"Your wife didn't thank you, but I will.
You have my heart." - That's really sweet.
- That's a great ex-boyfriend.
- That is a great ex-boyfriend. - Good friend, yeah.
- And let's talk about--
I don't know why everybody made a big deal of this,
but you had surgery for a deviated septum.
- I had sinus surgery the day after Christmas,
and it has been the worst surgery of my life.
Very painful, and on top of it,
everyone, of course, thought I got a nose job.
Which is so funny because, if you know me,
I would've told you I got a nose job.
Like, I'm not gonna keep it a secret.
But I was actually really addicted to nose spray,
like Afrin.
- After or before? - Before.
Like, for years.
Like, at award shows,
I would have to pick out the right clutch
to be able to fit my Afrin in it,
and I'd be under the table like...
[snorts] snorting it.
I'm surprised there were no photos
of, "What am I snorting?"
It was Afrin.
And I couldn't get enough, and it was, like,
such a problem, and I ruined my sinus,
so I had to get it fixed,
and it was a really rough surgery.
- That's how you ruined it?
- I actually made it completely worse,
and he said I've completely-- like, I have to stop.
Like, enough.
- Because Portia found out she has a deviated septum,
and she's supposed to get the surgery,
and now that you're saying it's painful...
- It's the worst!
Oh, you should totally get it done.
But it's the worst. [laughter]
It's really a smart thing to do.
It's gonna help me. [inhales]
I'm breathing better already. It takes a few weeks.
But it was hard on my husband.
Oh, it's been like--
- Why is it hard on him?
- He's been taking care of me.
He's been amazing.
But the week of the surgery, I had a lot of medication,
so I don't remember a lot of stuff, and I told him--
I was convinced that I couldn't sleep.
I woke up-- I would wake up every morning.
"I'm so tired, babe. I can't breathe."
Like, complaining. "I can't sleep.
I'm definitely not sleeping."
So he... [laughs]
He said, "Trust me, you're sleeping."
I'm like, "I'm not sleeping. I'm so tired."
So he decided, four nights in a row,
to record me.
He said-- I'm not a snorer.
He goes, "I just want you to know you're sleeping."
I said, "I'm not sleeping."
So he took his phone out four nights in a row
and recorded my snoring.
- You brought that?
- Yeah, and I brought it in to show you
because I was truly shocked by this.
[snoring]
[laughter]
That's real. That is real.
[snoring]
[laughter]
I said, "Ryan, I'm not sleeping."
He's like-- he sent me four videos.
He's like, "This has been my week."
[laughter] Yeah.
So not only did I not thank him,
I'm snoring.
My ex thanked him.
I've been the worst wife.
It's just been just one of those things.
- That is a lot to put up with.
That's a lot of snoring.
- It's a lot of snoring.
- I was gonna ask you if you're starting a family,
but probably not.
[laughter]
I mean, that's not gonna help anything.
- That's not helping anything. - No.
- Starting a--no.
That's not--he's very-- it's not a turn-on.
- No. - It's not been sexy.
Can you believe that? - No, it's really upsetting.
- Can you believe I brought that?
- Yeah, I'm really proud of you for that.
- Thank you. - Yeah.
- I said, "Oh, this is gold for 'Ellen.'"
Right when he sent me this, I knew.
I said, "This is gonna be perfect for the show."
- Of course it is. - Yeah, I knew you'd love it.
- It was fantastic. - I know.
- That's a very brave thing-- to share that.
- Well, you know, I want you to see the real me.
[laughter] That's the true me right there.
- It's the true you. - Yep.
- And yet you clean up real good.
- Thank you. - Yeah.
