Our first guest is hilarious, talented,
and one of the most aggressive dancers I've ever seen.
Please welcome my friend, Melissa McCarthy.
[MUSIC - LMFAO, "PARTY ROCK ANTHEM"]
Party rock is in the house tonight.
Everybody just have a good time.
And we going to make you lose your mind.
Everybody just have a good, good, good time.
Get your hands up.
[AUDIENCE CHEERING]
Get your hands up.
Shake that.
Every day I'm shuffling.
Available!
Is that your worst nightmare?
When did-- where-- what--
where did you-- did you have that made?
Just in my closet.
Just in my closet, guys.
And there may be another one.
No.
Where did you--
You'll find out someday.
What the hell is that?
Isn't it kind of amazing?
It is kind of amazing.
Who makes this?
I mean, guys, don't you want that?
[APPLAUSE]
I may have had it made.
It's not weird.
Oh my god.
That's hilarious.
I just thought that this is what someone does.
They're like, yeah, you have a picture?
You want to it on a onesie with a zip-up face?
I'm like, yes I do.
Yes, I do.
So how many times have you done this before?
Someone did it for Ben.
And then I was like, oh, I know who needs a onesie of herself
made.
Yeah.
This one, right here.
It seemed like the natural jump.
Yeah.
Of course.
Thank you.
It was frightening, and then I don't know if you could see,
so I was worried you were going to fall off.
Well there was a second one where I was like, is there one
step, or is there not a step?
Yeah.
Which is when I very gracefully just went--
Yeah.
Because there's nothing more embarrassing than being
in that, having to be rushed to the hospital.
That's-- yeah.
That, I don't need to take a fall in.
No.
You don't want to be in that.
I want to keep my dignity.
I would have zipped it back up.
Just zip it up and have someone pull me off stage.
That's right.
Hey, J-Lo was here.
Oh.
Jennifer Lopez, as we know, J-Lo, was here.
And we were talking about the birthday party.
And she was saying that you were the most aggressive dancer
she's ever seen in her life.
I-- first of all--
You warned me.
Jennifer?
Ms. Lopez?
I would like to say sorry.
But, I'm sorry, there is something
about when you're in the same room
as her and you're just like, this is my one shot.
And I go back to--
oh god.
See?
She looks amazing and poised.
And then it's like, what's that little leprechaun doing over
there?
No, she actually was horrified by that photo of her.
But she was actually looking at you like, uh-huh.
And here's what I'm going to do.
Because you all were having a dance-off, but you--
and then she said, you took her around the entire floor,
knocking people out of the way.
I bet at that time I thought, oh, I'll
pretend to be her security guard.
That will be enjoyable for her.
Right.
No.
And I'm sure it was just--
god knows who I shoved--
yelling just, like, J-Lo's coming through.
Right.
Because I thought, my god, I'm going
to get her to the dance floor.
And then my brain explodes and I'm like, she was a fly girl.
She can still-- like, my god.
Like, I just go crazy.
But you're an amazing dancer.
You really are.
You're an incredible dancer.
I think shocking dancer might be-- because somehow when
I hit a dance floor and there may be three drinks in me,
I'm like, I should do this professionally.
Yeah.
And then I see a picture and I'm like, or do I
just this the whole night?
Which is not really what professional dancers do.
I think we both were doing that, and we both
thought we were doing well.
We were both like, hey, let's lift one leg.
But bend it.
Make sure you bend it.
And if we do it together, it looks like it's synchronized.
No, but it was--
It was so fun.
You were so fun.
You did warn me that you would be aggressive--
I did.
--and you would be out there.
And you were, and you came through.
I came through.
Yeah.
And I'm sorry to so many people for that evening.
No, no, no.
It was wonderful.
But people are talking about that more than anything.
It's you and J-Lo dancing.
Oh god.
It was great.
Let's continue to embarrass you.
So there's a picture you posted yourself of a head shot.
And I want to ask about the hat.
What was the reason for this?
Yeah, looking at it now, it seems almost silly.
It was my first commercial agent ever, and he said,
I want you to get character head shots.
And I was like, I think those make me uncomfortable.
Is that when you have to get into a costume?
I was like, I don't know if I--
and I got the, well, my working clients work.
If you want to work now that you've moved to LA,
you go the extra mile.
I was like, I'll go the extra mile!
I'll go the extra mile and get a Barbie Western hat.
Right.
And I made the earrings.
They're little cowboy boots from the Barbie set
because I went the extra mile.
Yeah, that's right.
And then I didn't really know what character shots meant.
So instead of doing something that you
could hire like a cop, a waitress, something--
in my head, that was Diane that worked at a local grocery store
and handed out cheese samples.
And when he's like, what is this supposed to be?
I was like, well that's Diane.
She hands out-- she's recently divorced.
And she was just like--
yeah.
It was--
Oh my god.
You--
So I picked a character.
You picked a character.
I made a character up in my head.
I didn't know it meant something that someone may want to hire.
And I did not work for about 15 years.
What would she sound like if Diane--
Oh my god.
How would--
Well, first of all, oh, well, she'd
talk about cheddar, and jack, and blue.
And then she might get upset talking about her divorce.
And then just her pound in cheese.
My whole thought was, it's like, one for you, six for me.
Cry about the divorce, get it back, remember the hat,
and just pass that cheese.
[APPLAUSE]
Oh my gosh.
That's of much higher quality.
Yeah.
