-Thank you for coming on the show.
I'm so psyched because I'm such a big fan.
I know. -The Roots.
-Yes. -He's so nervous.
-He's nervous. He's excited about the roots.
Yeah, I get it.
-Touching your desk.
I've always wanted to touch the desk.
-Oh, really? -Yes.
-This is amazing that you're here.
Oh stop it. Please.
It's a normal desk. Thank you for being here.
Especially -- Oh. That's a little Sharpie.
Oh, my God, he's taking souvenirs.
Oh, my God.
-What else you got?
-I got a panda doll you can take.
Chip, that's for you.
That would be for the baby.
-Okay. I'll take it.
-I have really nothing else here that would be.
A tissue?
-I'm taking this mug home.
Yes, you can take the mug home too. Yeah.
You can have whatever you like.
Congrats on everything.
I want to -- I know. Thank you.
Thank you for being here. -Thank you for having us.
-It's the Veteran's Day show.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-What do you do?
-I just let him run.
Gotta run with it, yeah.
-See they love us. -We do love you.
-She said no way we'd get invited back but based on
that second response I think maybe we'd get invited back --
-Oh, my God, yes, you are already invited back.
Please. Oh, my God. -Thanks.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Yes.
There is more.
We haven't even done the interview yet.
Please sit.
Gosh.
Almost like you are from seat 418.
Shocked to be here.
First of all congrats on the new baby.
-Thank you.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-It was a combined team effort.
Team effort. -Yes.
-Please hold my hand. -Hold my hand.
-Hold my hand too as well. Just hold my hand.
-We got this, we got this. -We can do this.
-Is this is baby number five? -Number five.
-Oh, congratulations. -He's 4 months old.
Sweetest boy. -And how are the others?
-Oh, they love him.
Our oldest is 13. Youngest before Crew is 8.
So we have a lot of help. All the babies --
Well, all -- I call them all babies.
All our kids love to hold the baby.
-And what a great family, I got to meet them backstage.
-Sweet kids. -So sweet and so cute.
-Thank you. -Oh, please.
Well this -- "Fixer Upper,"
we obviously know you from the show "Fixer Upper."
And then you just stopped it and you said,
"We have to take some time off"
to enjoy life or focus on family or what did you do?
-Yeah, a little bit of all of the above.
I mean we're talking to Jimmy Fallon
so like you don't know what we're saying here.
But TV's a tough business.
And we came into this whole thing sort of shock and awe.
And we had never had any inspiration to be on television.
We didn't know anything about the business.
So when you step into this universe, it takes you
a little bit to get your feet under you, to say the least.
And I'd say after five years we really realized
we really wanted to take a step back and just kind of
really focus on our marriage.
Focus on our family
and just kind of catch our breath, you know.
-Have a baby. -Oh, my gosh.
-And have a baby. -This is funny.
Thank you. -Oh, my gosh!
-Sit down. Hey, you almost hit me.
-Can you take that part out? Okay.
Sorry about that.
-She almost hit me right in the tendon.
-He deserves it.
-She clearly does not want a sixth child.
Jimmy, you will get a kick out of this.
So we had four beautiful babies before we ever were introduced
to the world via "Fixer Upper."
And then we had zero babies while we were working
this full-time job called "Fixer Upper."
Well, as soon as we decided to stop "Fixer Upper"
we had a fifth baby.
So we kind of figured out the Rubik's Cube here.
It's like time on our hands equals additional children.
So we're essentially looking
for a part-time job to keep us busy.
-Would you guys ever return to TV?
-Wow. Well, camera three just turned on
and is shining directly at me, so.
We signed a nondisclosure.
And it said, "You can tell your mother but that's it.
So Mom, I just wanted to make a quick announcement.
We are coming back to television.
You're gonna get to see the kids grow up.
You'll get to see us, obviously, in maybe a six months delay
like the rest of the world but we're excited to be back.
Yes! -No way, you're coming back?!
Good for you! Now I'm excited.
Yes! That is how you do it.
Wow. Yes.
-All right. All right.
-You're coming back to TV. I'm so happy.
-We're happy. -The world is happy.
-You bet. -This will be big.
-Long story short. We just learned a lot through
the five-year process of being on "Fixer Upper."
And I think some of the things that really caused us the most
problems, we have concluded, I think we can figure this out.
We've partnered with David Zaslav and Discovery,
we're actually gonna have a network
and I think we're gonna really carve it out in a way
That really makes sense to us and our family.
It's gonna be filmed a lot in Waco, Texas,
so we don't have to travel a whole lot.
So all things being equal we could not be more excited.
-holy mackerel, that is big news.
That is fantastic.
Congrats on everything.
Congrats on the book, by the way.
Another best seller.
You guys, please come back and visit us.
I'm inviting you back. I'm inviting you back.
-Okay, I will come. -Yes.
Chip and Joanna Gaines. I love you guys.
