How can you--
I haven't been to sleep yet.
No, have you been at all?
No, no.
Because I knew if I went down, I would not get back up.
Because we had the Oscars and then GMA the next morning.
We had a 1:30 AM wake up call.
And I knew I was going to be seeing you.
So, all good, all good.
So you're at the Oscars.
You interview people.
You talk to people.
Then you leave at what time?
Well, last night was the first time
that I actually got to go to the Oscars.
I didn't work the red carpet.
I walked the red carpet.
[CHEER]
So-- I know, right?
Oh, I did work it.
I did work it.
I can't even do that.
I never could do that.
I was there with Michael Strahan.
And then we were sitting in the audience,
and just taking in the show.
And then when Brad Pitt won--
because Michael Strahan, who has met everyone in the world,
said, I've never met this man.
I'm like, I've got my-- let's go.
So we went backstage.
And I did the interview with him.
Went back, saw a little bit more of the show,
and then went back to the room, and had
my burger that I always have waiting
for me from room service.
At what time?
That was like 12:30.
12:30?
Yeah, 12:30.
So you did go out.
I didn't go-- I was out.
But I--
Yeah, but the whole thing was over at like 8:30.
Ooh.
[LAUGHTER]
Where were you during the hours of 8:30 and midnight?
[LAUGHTER]
Working!
Because we had to wait for them to come backstage.
Because they're taking their group photos and all.
You've been there.
You know that.
I know.
But I didn't know till 12:30 people are talking.
Anyway, I'm so happy to see you.
It's great to see you, too, Ellen.
So you're flying back tonight?
Right, yes, on the red eye.
Are you nervous about--
I know that you've talked to people on your show
about this-- but the whole coronavirus,
and flying, and all that stuff?
Yeah, I got to tell you, when on the flight out here,
and I'm going back home, someone does that sneeze or something,
you give the stank eye.
Like, mm, a little side eye, like, ooh,
especially if they haven't covered their mouth.
But I see people with these masks.
They have designer masks now.
Somebody had a leopard skin mask on.
They're capitalizing on that.
It seems like they are doing that.
We got to do that.
We got you some.
Because I know you travel a lot.
Right.
So we have this.
Oh, thank you.
Yeah, and then we have your dog.
Oh, Little Man Lucas.
This is great!
And then we have-- of course, you can promote you, too.
Yeah, this would go over real well.
Did you see this one, guys?
Yeah.
"Robin Roberts under here."
[LAUGHTER]
Yeah, that would be the one.
But I don't have one.
So this is going to come in really handy.
And also, your dog, I know, is popular on Instagram.
So I thought--
5,000 followers, yeah.
That's pretty impressive.
Sweet Amber is upset that--
my partner--
[AW-ING]
Yes-- that the dog has more followers than she does.
And she's very, very upset about that.
But look at him!
Look at that!
He's ringing in the new year!
Is he happy to wear that hat?
He is happy to wear that hat.
Well, so she's getting in-- if she gets in the picture,
then she's going to start getting more followers.
Well, see, that's what she's doing.
She tags herself in his pictures like that, just to kind of--
Yeah.
But I can't believe we've become that couple that
has the dog with own following and things like that.
Well, but if it's popular, and people like it,
and it makes people happy, it's a good thing to put out there.
It's a great thing to do that.
Yeah.
And if he gets to be so many followers,
then we can make money off of him,
if he gets to a certain level.
[LAUGHTER]
That's not our motivation!
Not at all!
That's fantastic thinking.
Yes.
So you have been at ABC for how long now?
I have been with the Disney company for 30 years.
Wow.
30 years.
[APPLAUSE]
I know.
30 years of very little sleep.
I haven't had a lot of sleep in those 30.
But it's been a wonderful--
no pun intended-- a wonderful, wild ride.
It really has been.
That's fantastic.
I've enjoyed it.
All right, we have to take a break.
But we're going to play a really fun game after this.
What's that?
It's none of your business.
[LAUGHTER]
We'll play--
This is what I stayed up for, this abuse?
That's right.
It's just some mystery game.
OK.
Yeah, all right.
But you could win some money for a charity.
Oh, wonderful.
Or you could give it to me.
We'll be back.
