So this really is-- and you know,
and I know this because Portia was on the show for a time.
And y'all are really, this is a friendship.
I know that you all are all--
you hang out, you're friends.
What are you going to--
I mean, you now are a mom.
I'm a mom.
You have a baby.
[APPLAUSE]
Yes.
And there's been weddings, and your daughter was on the show.
I'm a great grandfather.
Are you?
No.
Zoe Perry, who plays the mom in Young Sheldon.
But Shonda cast her in this eight-episode recurring role.
And she was the first character, Ellen, ever
who scared Papa Pope.
So who's-- what are you stealing?
Is it everyone's going to take something from the set?
What's everybody stealing?
I just asked if I could take one of the panels of the flawed QPA
glass wall.
What?
We should all get one of those.
Yeah that glass wall that's in--
Did they say yes?
They said there they're going to try to get it.
That was your mistake.
Don't ask.
Yeah.
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
The Olivia Pope bag and shoe collection,
I know that's not part of the set.
But--
OK, and Abby has a pair of brass knuckles on her desk,
or in her bag, at all times.
I think those have to come.
There's a little Lincoln bust.
And Cyrus destroyed the evidence that we all
stole Tony's first election.
What won't you miss?
What's the-- is there anything that you won't miss?
Yeah.
I won't miss being compared to Tony Goldwyn every time
I take my shirt off.
You don't get that at home?
I won't miss that.
I'll miss you, Tony.
But I won't miss being compared to Tony.
Yeah.
What do you mean?
That's the problem.
You both look great.
Look at Mason.
Here's the thing.
I'm 15, 10 years, 12 years younger than you?
I'm not going to get involved in this conversation.
He's a unicorn.
He is.
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
You're special, too.
You are.
Well thanks, Ellen.
I won't miss the 5 AM calls.
I won't miss that.
You're still going to have those.
Are you going to stop working?
We have so much fun in the trailer at 5 AM.
I'm going to miss.
I'm going to start crying-- now, I'm kidding.
Yeah, I would think you wouldn't miss the 5 AM.
Hello, fellows.
Hi.
So Cornelius, you're the newbie here.
But I have to ask these guys, because this-- and it's coming
from me, because I'm surprised.
Are you surprised you made it this far in the show?
That you weren't killed off a long time ago?
Every day, every day my wife would say, please
don't die today.
I would go to the table read and to try
to wear light colored shirts, so you wouldn't see the sweat pit
stains.
For me, maybe a short period of time I thought,
yeah they'll probably.
And then after a while I thought no.
I thought I'm going to be here.
I'm too good.
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
- As soon as there was a connection with my daughter,
I thought I'm going to be here for a while.
Yes, I know.
But you are so bad.
And the Emmy.
Once you won the Emmy, you're like--
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
That didn't help the effort.
You killed him.
Hey, Danny.
Emmy, dead.
We love you, Danny.
All right, so, so Cornelius.
And you came in and you stayed this entire time, too.
Were you nervous?
I mean I think everybody joining the cast
thinks I'm going to get killed.
I think on this-- on the show, you just at some point
it crosses your mind.
Maybe I might not be here.
You've to wait and see to the next table read.
So I made it.
Happy to be here.
It's been a great ride.
And yeah.
And now it's over.
And now it's done.
See, somebody might die in the last one.
I think so.
Do you think so?
I do think so.
I think they have to kill someone.
I think somebody is going to die.
Somebody might.
All we're doing is--
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
I think somebody is going to die.
Our necks have to be on the railroad track.
Jeff and I were doing a scene the other day.
I was like, they've got to kill one of us, right?
They've got to kill one or both of us.
So you two have now formed a bond.
Yes.
And then you end up having to sing a Brittany Spears song,
which--
That I got to direct.
Yes.
It was my son's first day on set.
Shondaland is amazing, and my son Alby
gets to come to work all the time.
And his first day on set, yeah.
This scene.
Debbie Allen choreographed this amazing dance piece
that Kerry Washington directed us.
And I was actually holding my son nursing
while I was dancing Joe.
In rehearsal.
Not in the scene.
Dance rehearsal.
But it was the best.
I was like, this is the greatest first day ever.
And now.
There it is.
There you are.
Yes, that was my rehearsal.
There it is, Debbie trying to look good.
There's Alby underneath the nursing cover that's so chic,
you guys.
It's multitasking.
That's right.
Ah, yes.
It was the best.
- And Joe, did you know song by heart already?
No.
Not a big Brittany fan.
I know she is.
Hey, hey!
Easy.
But you are now.
Absolutely not.
What about Madonna?
All right.
Sorry.
All right.
I have questions.
And you have to be completely honest.
Oh.
All right.
And you know, everybody raise your hand
if you think you are the person, and we'll
see if anyone's going to be honest.
Who's the most annoying cast member?
All right.
Completely honest.
Without a doubt.
Who's most likely to nap on set?
Tony.
I've thoroughly documented it.
I have 100 videos.
I feel like before we go play a game,
I should say that this show has broken a lot of barriers.
And Shonda should be proud of herself.
You all should be proud of yourselves
for being a part of a very inclusive show that
has shown characters on television
that have not been seen before.
To have an African-American woman
lead for the first time in I don't know how many
years in a show like this.
To go on and have a gay vice president,
to have a female president.
And all the different characters that Shonda has created.
And that you all have played beautifully.
I want to say thank you to all of you,
and thank you to Shonda for putting them on.
[APPLAUSE]
We'll play a game after this.
Thank you.
