- I am so excited to have the one and only,
you know her as Cameron Diaz,
I know her as Aunty Poo-Poo.
And she's co-hosting the entire Bestie Hour
because we're besties and--
(audience clapping)
- Tell them, everybody in the audience.
- And everybody in the audience here
are also all besties,
which is so much fun.
(audience clapping)
- [Drew] And our next guests, actually,
they reached out to us
and they said they hadn't seen each other
in over two years and, well,
because this is the Bestie Hour, we were like,
we need to reunite them.
(audience clapping)
- My name is Angela
and I would absolutely love to be reunited
with my best friend, Jackie.
We've been best friends ever since the seventh grade,
which is 18 years ago now,
which is absolutely crazy to me.
And we just love each other so much.
We've been there for each other
throughout all of our major life events,
but we have not been able to see each other at all
throughout the past year because of COVID.
So we are both very much looking forward to the day
that we can be reunited
and it would be even more special
if it was able to be on your show
because we are both huge fans of yours.
- Please welcome Angela.
- [Cameron] Angela, welcome.
(audience clapping)
- Thank you so much.
- The pandemic wasn't the only thing
that kept you from Jackie.
Is there another reason that you haven't seen her?
- [Angela] Yeah, so throughout a pretty good portion
of the pandemic, Jackie has been pregnant.
- [Cameron] Oh wow. That's so great.
- Yeah, which of course is so exciting
when it's your best friend being pregnant.
However that also kind of gave me a reason
to not want to see her, just because, you know,
don't want to chance anything with COVID.
- Yeah.
- Yeah. And we were actually supposed
to see each other a few months ago for her baby shower,
but unfortunately it ended up needing to be canceled
because she was hospitalized
and she ended up delivering her daughter
like three months early.
- [Cameron] What?
- I know, it was so scary.
- God.
- But thankfully now it's months later
and she is at home and healthy
and the baby's beautiful
and her name is Vivian,
but I still haven't gotten to meet her
and I haven't been able to hug my best friend yet.
And it's been really, really hard not having that.
- I understand.
Well, guess what, the wait is finally over.
Are you ready to reunite with Jackie?
(audience clapping)
- Yes, I am.
(upbeat music)
(audience clapping)
- [Cameron] Hi, Jackie.
- Hi.
(laughing)
- I know, it's been forever.
- We both have yellow.
Yellow for Drew.
- Congratulations, by the way, on the new baby.
- [Jackie] Thank you.
(audience clapping)
- You know, as if being pregnant isn't scary enough,
let's just throw a pandemic on top of it
and then a premature birth.
How did you cope?
- And COVID. I did have COVID as well.
- [Cameron] And you did have COVID?
- Yeah, while I was pregnant. Yeah.
- [Cameron] Oh my goodness.
- [Drew] Oh my gosh.
- I know.
- Twice.
- [Both] What?
- [Jackie] Yeah.
- [Drew] Okay.
- [Angela] Super woman.
- You took the words right out of my mouth.
What's your advice on keeping a cool head
on your shoulders and being strong
and surviving through so many things
that could take people down with fear?
- A lot of support, family.
I have my family on the next block.
And she was amazing with keeping in touch with me,
even though we couldn't be face-to-face,
but she would check in on me,
every single Monday was like our thing.
And she would--how are you doing, what's going on?
And that was kind of what kept me together during that time.
For sure.
- So do you feel comfortable
with her being able to meet your baby?
- Yeah, I do.
- [Drew] Thank gosh, because your baby is here
and you're going to get to meet her.
(audience gasps and claps)
- [Drew] Angela and Jackie, that's right,
after this segment, you are going to go
and meet this little bundle of joy.
- [Angela] Oh my goodness.
- [Drew] As we've been so fortunate to do,
hand each other our babies.
So I'm so excited for this moment for you,
not only to reunite,
but for you to meet the most important person
now in your little tribe.
So I'm so excited for you both to get to do that
together now.
(audience clapping)
- All right, well, Angela and Jackie,
congratulations on everything that you conquered
and we're so glad to bring you back together.
(upbeat music)
