- You were so sweet.
My design show on HGTV,
you Tweeted out, when you were watching the design show.
- Yes!
- And then your wife Tweeted out,
"Watching 'Ellen's Design Challenge' on HGTV.
"Scott Foley is drooling over the tools they get to use.
Nerd alert."
- No, well--Thanks, babe. - Yeah.
But so--because you love stuff like that.
- I love that stuff.
I mean, I'm a huge HGTV watcher,
between "Fixer Upper" and "House Hunters"
and the reno guy. - "Property Brothers."
- I love it. I love it all.
And the fact that you were gonna have a show on,
like, we set the DRV, and we TiVo'd it,
and we watched it live, and it is--
like, I just love that stuff.
I build furniture myself,
and, like, I don't have great tools,
because I don't have the space or I don't have the time or--
but every now and then I get to do it, and I love it.
And I thought your show was so good.
I wanna see more construction though.
- Well, you know--
- The second episode had more than the first.
- Yeah, it's brand-new, so we're learning,
and the next season we're gonna have--
we've learned all kinds of things,
but it's so fun to watch people have a challenge
and make furniture in a short amount of time,
and to see everyone's different take
on what to make out of something.
- I think it's so smart, and, you know, we love those shows.
We love "Project Runway," and we love "Top Chef."
So anytime people make things in a competition,
I think it's great. It just brings out that--
you see that artistic spirit,
and to do it with something I love,
with furniture, and, like, I love building houses,
and I spent some time with Habitat for Humanity,
and I just think it's so-- such a great thing.
- I know, I actually thought of the idea two years ago,
and I thought, I love furniture,
and why aren't we showing--
We see food competition shows, we see fashion.
- Yeah.
- But we don't see design competition with furniture,
and HGTV bought it, and it's--and I--
I said I would watch it even if it wasn't mine.
It's such a great show. - I think it's great.
Who do you think's gonna win? Do you know who's gonna win?
- Of course I know who's gonna win.
It's my show.
- But I didn't know how far ahead you were.
So it's not-- - No, we--
And we only did six, and so--
but next season we'll do more,
and we'll do different things and guest judges.
You have strong opinions.
I would love for you to be a guest judge on one of them.
- I would love to be a guest judge.
- Because I want different people's opinions on stuff.
- I would love it. I'm rooting for Tim right now.
- Yeah, everybody is. - Is that right?
- I think so. I think everybody--
- Oh, good, 'cause he won the first one
with that--the desk-- - The compass desk.
- Yeah, the George Washington desk.
And then didn't do great in the second,
but I liked his bar in the second one.
- Yeah, I did too. - I don't know.
- And then Mark, who went home the first time,
was really talented. - I thought he was really good!
- And he just made a mistake.
But anyway, it's a good show, and I'm glad--'cause I saw--
- You shouldn't have voted him off.
- I did not. I would not have voted him off,
but he did make a mistake.
And there's a bench that you built
that I was really impressed.
I think I wanna have you on the show.
- Oh, yeah?
- 'Cause you made this out of a deck?
You took a deck apart?
- So when we bought this house,
there was a wooden, like a play structure, swing set
for my kids that it was sort of rotting and falling apart,
and I took it down, but I saved the wood.
And we put up a new swing set.
But I just built this out of the old one
to sit next to them. - Wow, that's really impressive.
- See, there's the one picture my wife took that I don't love
where I'm not at a store.
Thanks, babe.
- I love the picture.
I think that it's great.
- I'm very proud of it.
- And I'm proud that you made that bench.
I have something for you,
and--'cause you're just supporting my show
and Tweeting out about my show.
So I wanna give you a project
for whenever you want to build something.
Here are some tools and some--
- Oh, no!
No, come here! Stop it!
Oh, you gotta be kidding me.
- No, I'm not kidding you. - You gotta be kidding me.
You can't give an actor on a TV show tools.
- I can. And there's your tool belt.
You have a tool belt, right?
- I'll put that on right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.
- This is for Konrad.
Here, if he-- - Oh, no way!
- He's got a tool belt.
- Babe, so cute. - He's got a tool belt as well.
- So cute.
- Oh, my--Do these work? They work.
So cute. He can help me.
- Okay, and I have-- I have something else also.
Isn't that adorable though? - It is adorable.
- I should give one to all your kids.
It's not fair to just give the baby something,
'cause they'll get jealous.
- They're already jealous. They'll be all right.
- All right. - Does this look all right?
- It's fantastic. - Okay.
- All right, also you know the last challenge I gave you
to put something on the set on "Scandal"
and would give you $10,000
towards the charity of your choice?
- Yeah. - I have one more challenge.
'Cause you're always in underwear, always.
So if you can somehow put on Ellen underwear in the show,
I'll give you $10,000 to the charity of your choice.
- $10,000 to the charity of my choice
if I wear Ellen underwear.
Shonda Rhimes, we gotta find a way
to put this Ellen underwear in "Scandal."
- For sure. It's to charity, Shonda.
Come on. - Do you--
This is--There's so many pairs of underwear here.
- Well, you get to choose which one you wanna wear.
- Oh, good. - You're always in underwear.
- Well, I mean, if I could choose,
I mean, it'd be that one, right?
- All right, yeah. - But I have a feeling
this one's probably gonna have a better shot.
- No, I would rather-- Whatever you want, okay?
- Okay, okay, great. - But do it on the show,
$10,000 to the charity of your choice.
- Deal.
