-How is Kelly doing? How is the show going?
-She's so phenomenal.
I've known her for over 15 years.
We've been very good friends.
And I was thrilled,
when she said, after the year or whatever search,
that I was gonna get to be the co-host
at "Live with Kelly and Ryan." -You have great chemistry.
You can tell you're friends, and it works.
-She's a super sweet person and she's just the best at that job.
I'm trying to keep up with her. -I know.
There's a big controversy going around, if you've heard this,
about you not wearing socks.
[ Laughter ]
Yeah. This is, like, a big deal.
People are making a big deal about this.
-Here's the deal.
I'm new to New York. And I have a friend named Sam.
And Sam said to me,
"You know, in New York City in the summer, no one wears socks."
I said, "Really?" He said, "Yeah."
I said, "Even if I'm going on TV every morning?"
He said, "People will love it."
Well... [ Laughter ]
-There's picketing. There's riots outside.
-Yesterday, someone's trying to start a GoFundMe page
to get socks. [ Laughter ]
They're trying to raise $100.
They've gotten zero so far.
-Yeah, exactly. Do not -- Do not contribute to this.
I think it's a style thing.
We're not worried. We're New Yorkers.
We don't care about this thing, right?
-Have you ever done this?
-No. [ Laughter ]
But it doesn't matter, because --
No, the big question is, do you wear underwear?
And then that's the thing, yeah.
We're waiting. [ Laughter ]
Why is there no answer? -No, I was going to say,
Sam said you guys don't wear underwear either.
-That's what he told you? -Yeah. He's setting me up.
-You can sit on that couch. Might be better.
[ Laughter ]
Got to see what's going on with Ryan.
Oh, by the way -- Yeah, I'm sorry.
I got a present for you. I got you some socks.
Yeah, there you go. [ Laughter and applause ]
Every night -- I have them on every show.
I have an extra pair. I wear two pairs of socks.
-These are the warmest socks I've ever --
[ Laughter ]
-And oddly damp. [ Laughter ]
No, no. I would never say that.
Hey, when you -- when you got the job, did you --
did you talk to Regis about it? Did he give you any advice?
[ as Regis Philbin ] "Ryan, thank you for calling me!"
-True. -[ Normal voice ] Regis --
I think we were sitting across from each other.
He's just yelling at you.
-He's screaming, but I loved him growing up.
I watched him. I idolized him, and so I called and I said,
"What's one thing you got to think about?"
He said, "You got to make sure that you go out
and do things at night to talk about
in the first 20 minutes of the show."
'Cause the beginning of the show is really about nothing.
-It's about what you did in New York City.
-It's about what you did the night before.
And so I've been out trying to do different things.
I've been riding the subway a little bit.
-That's right.
I saw a picture that you posted. Yeah, you're right.
The subway's interesting, right?
-So, I had not done too much of that.
And it actually is fantastic
'cause it gets you downtown in no time at all.
There was a guy who sang to me.
-I don't think it was to you, Ryan.
I think it was to a lot of people.
He sings to anybody who's listening.
-I will tell you, Jimmy, I was the only person looking at him.
[ Laughter ]
Don't do that! Don't do that. That's my advice.
[ as Regis ] "Don't look at someone
if they sing to you on the subway!"
"Don't do it!" -I felt so bad for this guy,
'cause everyone was on their phones.
So I clapped, and he walked over and he said,
"You got to pay for that."
-Yeah. You don't get free entertainment, yeah.
I love that you're here.
I think it's going to be such a great experience
having you here 'cause we're getting ready for winter, man.
Oh, man. [ Laughter ]
-Everyone keeps saying that to me.
It's like "Game of Thrones" here.
Winter is coming. Winter is coming.
-[ as Regis ] Winter is coming! -Winter is coming!
-[ Normal voice ] It really is. And get ready, man.
It's just nuts.
-New Yorkers, you --
What I've learned over the last three months living here,
every day in the morning the first thing you want to do
is just complain about the weather.
It's too hot. It's too damp. It's too cold.
-[ as Regis ] It's too that. It's too damp.
And then you start talking like this!
And then you become Regis! That's what happens!
[ Laughter ]
[ Normal voice ] But the big deal on the show, on "Live!"
is Halloween costumes.
-Oh, well I grew up watching the show.
And every year they do this huge Halloween show.
-They go for it.
-And they've been building it for months.
-Kelly's got some crazy good outfits -- good costumes.
-And apparently, being the new bait,
they're really going for it for me this year.
-I mean you -- You have to do this, if you're gonna show up.
I mean, if you're gonna be Kelly & Ryan,
you got to be the Ryan part. -You got to be Ryan.
So these -- Gelman comes into me this morning, I kid you not.
And he says, "We have some ideas."
This literally just happened to me after the show today.
"We have some ideas for you for Halloween."
I said, "All right, shoot. What do you got?"
-All right, let me just show people what you brought in.
Thank you for bringing this, because obviously this is great.
No one's seen this yet.
This is three choices. We can choose right now.
-I had to pull teeth to let him...
-All right, here we go. Ready? The first choice is...
Beyoncé. [ Laughter ]
-Now, by the way, remember they dress you up in full everything.
-Oh, they go for it. You will look exactly like this, yeah.
That's one idea. This one I liked.
Trolls. [ Laughter ]
I think you guys would be really cute trolls.
Yeah, but I think you would be Branch, is what I think.
-I would not give candy to that guy.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right.
And then this is the last one. I think this is a great idea.
Wonder Woman. Come on, that's what I'm talking about.
-Yeah? You think?
[ Cheers and applause ]
-That is the one. You've got to do that one.
You have to do that one. That's what you have to do.
-I think the hair suits my face nicely. Don't you?
-Yeah, it totally works. Yeah.
You're always doing fun things.
You have your line of -- You have a line of clothing.
But you have a new line of skin care.
-Yes.
-I just love that you're doing all this cool stuff.
-So, this is coolest thing.
There's a very famous doctor in Beverly Hills -- Dr. Lancer.
I've been going to him for years.
And I finally said to him, "You do all these wonderful things.
No one can get an appointment. You're so popular.
You've got to do a skin care line,
with all this great chemistry, for men."
And he said, "Let's do it."
So he has developed this just for guys.
It's called Polished. And it protects from you the sun.
It's shaving cream. It's moisturizer.
It's anti-aging serum. It's everything.
-Yeah. You have oil-free moisturizer.
That's good. You put that on after you --
-See that boyish look that you have?
You can keep it forever.
-[ Chuckling ] Thank you. Thank you.
I love it. I wear a face lotion.
My sister told me about it in college.
She was like, "You should." I don't wear that.
-At some point every guy is told by a woman in their life,
"You got to start doing something."
-Yeah, exactly. Yeah, yeah. It was my sister.
Micro scrub. I'll do that.
-You want to try the micro scrub?
-I'll do the anti-aging serum.
-That's the one -- All right.
-Everyone wants the anti-aging serum.
-Try the anti-aging serum. -Now, what is in this one?
-This is very special.
The anti-aging serum, it has Tasmanian pepper extract in it.
And you just massage it on your face, nice and slowly.
Also around the neck.
And you'll feel like a new man. I promise you.
-This stuff really works!
[ Laughter and applause ]
