- HI, GUILLERMO. - HI, ELLEN.
- I SAW YOU ON SOMETHING ELSE,
AND YOU WERE SMILING LIKE YOU ARE NOW, AND I'M LIKE...
- UH-HUH. - I DIDN'T EVEN RECOGNIZE YOU.
'CAUSE YOU'RE SO-- ON THAT SHOW, YOU NEVER SMILE
AND YOU'RE SO MYSTERIOUS AND MEAN AND WEIRD AND--
- IT'S SO CRAZY, I-- - DO YOU WATCH "SCANDAL"?
DOES EVERYBODY WATCH "SCANDAL"?
[cheers and applause]
- I'VE DONE, LIKE, A MILLION COMEDIES,
AND NOW I DID "SCANDAL," AND WHENEVER I SMILE AROUND PEOPLE,
THEY'RE LIKE, "OH, MY GOD, YOU SMILE!"
AND I'M LIKE, "I'VE BEEN SMILING FOR YEARS."
- THE MINUTE YOU'RE IN A DRAMA,
THEY DON'T THINK YOUR SMILE MUSCLES WORK ANYMORE.
- NO, BUT HE'S REALLY INTENSE ON THE SHOW--
LIKE, REALLY INTENSE,
AND LATELY IT'S BEEN VERY STRANGE
WITH YOU LICKING SOMEONE'S FACE, AND WEIRD THINGS ARE HAPPENING.
BUT I HAVE TO SAY, FIRST OF ALL,
I THOUGHT THIS WAS YOUR FIRST TIME ON THE SHOW,
WHICH IS--IT IS YOUR FIRST TIME IN A CHAIR...
- YEAH.
- BUT I HEARD THAT YOU WERE HERE BEFORE.
- I WAS, YEAH. - HOW LONG AGO?
- I WAS HERE ABOUT EIGHT-- SEVEN, EIGHT YEARS AGO,
WITH MY BEST FRIEND'S MOM,
AND SHE LOVES YOU AND SHE LOVES THE SHOW,
AND HER SON WAS WORKING,
SO I WAS LIKE, "FINE, I'LL GO WITH HER."
AND WE STOOD IN LINE AND WE GOT INTO--
WE DIDN'T GET INTO THE AUDIENCE,
BUT WE WERE IN THE RIFF-RAFF ROOM,
AND THEN SHE WAS LIKE,
"I'M GONNA DANCE ON ONE OF THOSE BLOCKS
AND GET INTO THE AUDIENCE," AND SHE WAS DANCING,
I WAS LIKE, "OH, MAN, SHE'S DANCING."
BUT--AND FINALLY WE GOT IN
AND WE WERE SITTING ON THE STAGE SOMEWHERE AND--
YEAH, I WAS CHEERING AND-- - I THINK SOMEONE SAID--
I HAVEN'T SEEN THIS, BUT I THINK WE HAVE B ROLL
OF WHEN YOU WERE SITTING ON THE STAGE.
- WHAT?
THERE YOU ARE!
[laughter]
[cheers and applause]
I WAS--THAT WAS MY--
THAT WAS MY-- MY GUILLERMO FROM "WEEDS" LOOK.
I WAS DOING "WEEDS" AT THE TIME, SO MY HEAD WAS SHAVED.
- YOU WERE DOING "WEEDS" AT THE TIME.
- YEAH. - YOU'VE DONE SOME GOOD SHOWS.
THAT'S AMAZING.
SO ROB AND I, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT MADONNA,
AND I UNDERSTAND YOU ARE, LIKE, THE HUGEST MADONNA FAN.
- HUGE. YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW, YEAH.
- LIKE, YOU HAVE A TATTOO OF HER.
- YEAH, I HAVE HER TATTOOED ON MY ARM.
- WHEN YOU SAY "HER"... - YEAH.
- IT'S HER WHOLE FACE? IT'S HER BODY?
- FROM, LIKE, THE NECK UP.
- OH, YEAH, THERE IT IS. WOW, THAT'S--WOW.
- AND WHERE IS THAT? ON THE IN--THE OUTSIDE?
- IT'S ON THE INSIDE OF MY ARM. - WOW.
- AND THAT'S STILL INTACT.
- LISTEN, DUDE, IF I'D HAD THAT, I WOULD'VE CLOSED.
[laughter]
- DIDN'T YOU ALMOST, LIKE, HOOK UP WITH HER OR SOMETHING?
RIGHT? - IT WAS--IT WAS--
UM, YES. THAT'S BASICALLY--
- SO TELL US ROB-- - I CAN'T PUT A BRAVE FACE ON.
THAT'S WHAT IT WAS. - YEAH.
BUT IT JUST DIDN'T HAPPEN. - YEAH.
- SO LET'S TALK ABOUT-- SO HUCK, THE CHARACTER--
YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT YET.
YOU'VE GOT TO BINGE WATCH AND CATCH UP--
- YOU KNOW, JOSH MALINA IS IN YOUR SHOW.
- YEAH, WHO WAS ON "WEST WING." - JOSHUA--
"ON"--HE REPLACED ME ON "WEST WING."
- ARE YOU SERIOUS? - LET'S NOT BRING THAT UP.
- I DIDN'T KNOW THAT. - LET'S NOT TALK--
NO NEED TO BRING THAT UP. - I JUST, YOU KNOW, THAT--
- LET'S KEEP THINGS HAPPY. - YOU KNOW, UGH. UGH.
- JOSH ALWAYS SEEMS TO COME UP IN ALL INTERVIEWS THAT I DO.
JOSH MALINA COMES UP.
- HE COULD BE AFTER YOUR JOB, THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING.
[laughter]
- BETTER WATCH OUT.
- WELL, AND HE'S STILL ALIVE ON THE SHOW, AND DAN--
MY PAL DAN. - OH, DAN.
- THAT WAS A HARD ONE TO WATCH. - WHAT A GREAT EPISODE, HUH?
- YEAH, IT WAS REALLY GOOD.
- WHEN HIM AND CYRUS GO AND DANCE AT THE BALL--
- BEAUTIFUL. - SO MOVING.
- IT WAS BEAUTIFUL, I MEAN, AND THAT'S WHY I'M MAD HE'S GONE,
'CAUSE THAT WAS A GREAT COUPLE TO WATCH.
- MM-HMM, BUT I ALSO FEEL LIKE IT BROUGHT THE SHOW
TO ANOTHER LEVEL, LIKE, PEOPLE ARE LIKE,
"OH, WOW, ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN." WHICH IT CAN.
SO I THINK IT--I MEAN, IT WAS SAD, BUT IT'S GOOD--
- ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN. JOSH MALINA COULD REPLACE YOU.
- ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT. - ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN.
- JUST SETTLE DOWN. JUST DRINK SOME WATER.
- DRINK SOME WATER.
- SO YOUR PARENTS ARE HUGE "SCANDAL" FANS.
- THEY ARE, YEAH, THEY'RE OBSESSED.
MY PARENTS WILL WATCH THE SHOW ON THURSDAYS,
AND THEN THEY'LL GO DOWNSTAIRS TO THE BASEMENT AND JUST--
AND CONTINUE WATCHING, AND THEY'LL--
YOU KNOW, THE SHOW'S ONLY ON ONCE A WEEK,
BUT THEY'LL WATCH IT EVERY DAY.
LIKE, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK, THEY'LL GO DOWN TO THE BASEMENT.
AND THEY HAVE IT ALL-- ALL THE EPISODES TIVO'D,
SO THEY'LL JUST KEEP WATCHING THEM AND--
- WHY? BECAUSE THEY FORGET THINGS, OR--
I MEAN, WHAT?
THEY KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING EVERY SINGLE TIME.
- 'CAUSE THEY LOVE ME SO MUCH. - NO, THAT'S GREAT--
AW, THAT'S SWEET THAT THEY LOVE YOU SO MUCH.
ALL RIGHT, SO YOU HAVE A MADONNA TATTOO,
AND I KNOW THAT YOU'LL WANT A TATTOO OF ME AS WELL TO--
- WELL, YEAH. - ON YOUR OTHER ARM.

AND ALL YOU HAVE TO DO
IS STICK THAT ON SO IT MATCHES.
- I LOVE IT.

THANK YOU. I LOVE THIS. - ALL RIGHT. YEAH.
I THINK IT WAS A HEAD SHOT FROM 1981 OR SOMETHING.
I DON'T KNOW-- - WHERE SHOULD I PUT IT?
