I'm awake.
Here, let me cover you up.
I'm so cold.
I'm like--
I should keep a throw out here.
People do that--
It's like the one day I don't wear spanx.
Like usually I wear spanx, and I'm sweaty.
And like the one day--
Well, you know we keep it cold here.
You know that.
I feel like it's colder.
No, it's--
I feel like this is like Letterman level.
Yeah, no, it's regular cold.
OK.
Like feel.
Mine's colder.
No?
Feel.
Yeah.
Oh.
Yeah, I like it cold.
Do you remember the time we were just holding hands?
Yeah, remember that time?
Yeah, let's just do it the whole interview.
Mary, how cold did they keep it at Letterman?
55 degrees.
55.
And what--
It was like a meat locker.
We keep it 63 here.
Yeah, it's 64 right now.
Yeah, comedy is cold.
Oh my god, this is like being in the house with my husband.
My husband likes it really cold.
Me, too.
I sleep with it at 64 at night.
God.
Yeah, congratulations for the Grammy nomination by the way.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
[APPLAUSE]
Oh my god, I love this.
I love this.
There you go.
Now it's nice and cozy, right?
It's so many tips I need to learn.
OK.
Yeah, yeah, I know.
Speaking of that, so the last time you were--
I want blankets on my show.
You're inspiring me.
Yeah, so--
I'm going to have a fire and blankets.
We had a fake fireplace for a while like one or two seasons.
I know.
I watched the show.
Yeah.
Thank you.
But I didn't even remember that until you just said that.
So you have your own talk show now.
Yes.
Congratulations on that.
Thank you.
[APPLAUSE]
And--
You are one of the first that believed in me.
Yes, I thought for sure you should have a talk show.
So did you shoot something already?
Did you shoot the pilot?
We did.
We did the pilot.
And I was oddly comfortable.
Like--
Oh, good.
Yeah, like I was kind of terrified like when--
I remember I was on here and I was
trying to convince you to host the billboards with me
because I was terrified.
But once I did that, I kind of figured out
if I led with music, then it made me more comfortable.
So each show we lead with music.
Like I just come down singing just a minute or whatever.
So they get to hear you sing to start?
Well, in and like, it's not my own stuff.
It's like I'm rocking out to my own.
That's a little vain.
But I mean, I guess it's vain to be singing in general.
But whatever.
But no, I do it on tour.
I like to lift up other artists.
You love artists as well.
Like you do that on your show.
I just-- yeah, I'm going to come down and sing every-- and it
kind of prepped me.
So then by the time I got down to the stage,
I was like oddly comfortable.
Well, that's good.
Well, that's why I thought you'd be a great talk show
host because you are very natural, very comfortable when
we see you on The Voice.
We see you-- and you're just really
in your own skin, which I think is the most important thing.
Thank you.
I do need to learn, and I have literally
been watching-- like I've seen your show like tons of it.
But I watch all your episodes, and Oprah's and everyone's
because I'm like, how do I listen?
Because I'm not-- I was not good at listening.
Really?
I literally had Alex, who produced the show,
had her literally make a drone airplane on a big giant card
and like land it because like I just don't shut up.
The airplane--
Like I was like, I just need you to help me land the plane.
Like if I'm just still going and like it's like wow,
this is not good, just get right there in my sight
and just land the plane.
I see.
And then I'll be like we're wrapping it up.
OK.
Yes.
Because I'm a conversationalist.
So--
Right.
So I'm not really good.
I like to invest.
So this really quick stuff is really hard for me
Yeah, no, it's definitely important to listen.
That is one of the biggest things.
I know.
My husband probably wishes that.
Yeah.
Start with him.
Practice with your husband, and that
would be good for the marriage.
Yeah.
And then--
It's pretty good.
It would be good for the show, too.
You know?
Yes.
But--
It is hard though to like--
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't know.
It's hard for me because when, you know,
I started out in comedy.
So if there's something that someone says,
I have a joke right away.
But if someone's talking, I have to let that joke go,
going that was a good joke, and I just let it go.
OK, so I'm not a comedian, but I literally--
I think because I did--
See how you just cut me off just now?
I know.
All right, all right.
I know.
All right.
But no, I'm telling you.
I think because I cocktailed in a comedy club for like years.
My natural inclinations are joke, joke, joke, joke.
So it is so hard for me to go like just interject.
Right.
Yea.
Yeah, it's--
I'm gonna practice.
Yeah.
I think you'll do well.
I hope so.
It's very-- I'm very emotional you know that.
You want to talk?
[LAUGHTER]
I should have probably had a co-host
so they could land the plane.
But Alex is going to do great.
But I like that you just did that.
So when you start to talk and you
see someone that looks like they want to talk,
that's a good thing to say, you want to talk?
You want to talk?
And then--
Is this your turn, OK?
It's a good thing for a talk show--
I know.
--host to say.
You want to talk?
I know.
I think I'm going to be really good at all the other things,
just not that one.
Right.
But I'm going to be good.
I like to-- I like a challenge.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
Good.
You're going to watch it epically fail and laugh at me.
No, no, I am rooting for you.
You're my lead in.
I want you to succeed for so many reasons.
Oh my god, I love that I get to go before you, by the way.
Yeah, all right, let's stop talking.
OK.
Shall we?
[LAUGHTER]
