Please welcome Max Greenfield.
[MUSIC - CARDI B, "I LIKE IT"]
Wonderful.
You know, I didn't know what you were doing for a minute there.
And then I realized when you got to the chair,
you were copying Beth Behrs when she came out the other day.
I told Beth that I would do exactly what she did--
Yeah, and you did.
--the other day on the show.
This is exactly-- she came out.
She went to the chair.
She twerked.
She--
We watched it and I was like--
I really committed to something that I don't know
that I can follow through on.
Yeah.
You didn't do that as well.
She goes for it.
Should I do it again?
No, no, no.
That's all right.
That was good.
That was-- you can't--
Thank you so much.
I don't think you can do better.
I don't really think so either.
And I mean that in the best way.
So first of all, I love her so much.
Isn't she the greatest?
I mean, she is the best.
You just-- you walk into work and on a Tuesday,
she'll sit down and go, guys, I saved a donkey.
Which bears, you know, questions--
Yeah.
--but I just say, don't even go further than that.
Let's just leave it where it is.
And it's just such a nice energy to wake up to in the morning
when you're, like, oh, here we are.
We've saved some donkeys.
She saves--
And it's just so--
Yeah.
She saves horses and donkeys all the time.
I know, it's actually really nice.
Yeah.
She's a great girl, and great energy.
And the two of you are adorable together.
Do you love working on the show?
Yeah.
It's been so much fun.
You know, Beth and I have worked together before,
and we play husband and wife on the show.
Right.
So it's really nice to have that sort of history
with somebody, because there's nothing
more uncomfortable than two people who
are supposed to play husband and wife on a show,
and you're like this.
And you go, these aren't-- these people aren't married.
Right.
But she has been wonderful, and we're
so excited to be doing this show.
And then Cedric, obviously.
Explain the show.
OK, so it's about a white family that
moves into a historically black neighborhood.
And they're sort of the unintentional gentrifiers.
You know, they don't really know what they've done
and they show up and they go, oh, I--
oh, this-- this might be a problem.
And it sort of goes from there.
And then it becomes about these two families living next
to one another.
Yeah.
It's a great idea.
I think it's good timing for this right now.
I hope so.
It feels like we're taking a really responsible take
on the subject.
And again, as much as it's about race,
it's also about these two families
and how different they are, and generationally as well.
Yeah.
It's great.
So you seem to--
you work out.
Obviously, you could see from my dancing.
Yeah.
That's got nothing to do with working out, but--
Well, that's how I work out now.
But you do work out.
I used to do CrossFit a lot, and I still do.
I've just sort of, like, adjusted into dad fit.
[CHEERING]
Oh, I thought you were cheering for CrossFit.
I was like, whoa, everyone does it here!
No, it's for that right there.
Yes, I understand.
Yes.
So Lilly is your daughter.
Yeah.
This is what she says to me this morning.
She goes-- she knew I was coming here
and she goes, whew, you know, Ellen likes to scare people.
Just a warning.
And then you guys opened up with it.
She's going to be very excited.
That's so cute.
So she watches the show and--
She loves the show.
Yeah.
She likes the games, I heard.
She loves the games.
She loves pie face.
Anything that, like, makes a mess in our house.
Right.
Well, you're going to love me for this.
Oh, no.
I signed it for her.
And she has pie face in the house now.
So that's for you, Lilly!
Happy birthday, whenever it is.
I'm not joking.
She's going to cry.
She really is.
Well--
One, she loves you.
And two, we have been to the toy store so many times.
And every time we go in there, she goes, I want pie face.
And I just say no.
And somehow, yet again, this girl has found a loophole.
Yeah.
And here we are.
She found it in me.
The Neighborhood premieres this Monday, October 1st, on CBS.

Max Greenfield, everybody.
