So let's talk about Reese Witherspoon.
OK?
Oh god.
[LAUGHTER]
So she for some reason, you know you work with her
on your new show, right?
Yeah.
So she, for some reason, has this delusional thought
that she is better friends with you than I am.
And so she comes on the show, and she makes all this stuff
up.
And I said, you know, we're going
to settle it once and for all.
So I called you and you were on the treadmill.
You also said, I have to talk to you,
are you around around 2 o'clock?
And I said, yeah I'll be in the car, that's perfect.
But then I called at--
But no, who calls early again?
Which is so unlike Ellen to do something
about an hour or 40 minutes earlier
than it's supposed to happen.
Yes, so I was on the treadmill.
Right.
Yeah, I have a tendency to--
And put me on live television.
I think we have the clip, but yes, so here's me calling you.
Hey, are you on the treadmill?
Oh, yeah.
Sorry.
I'm actually doing a show right now,
and this is a really important question.
What?
[LAUGHTER]
Reese Witherspoon, you know her, right?
Yeah, of course.
No, who?
She somehow thinks that she and you are better friends than you
and I are.
So once and for all, you and I are better friends.
Yes, darling.
That's basically based on almost 30 years of knowing each other.
Yeah.
OK.
So it's done.
Thank you, bye.
[APPLAUSE]
And then hangs up on me.
I wasn't done talking.
No?
I mean, I wanted to say, yes, of course,
I've known you for almost 30 years.
That's a long time.
I see Reese way more than you, but--
Well that's because you work with her.
If you worked here on this show, you'd see me more often.
But you should work here.
I should work here.
You have all these people guest hosting for you.
Don't act like we have not asked you over and over again.
Not this year.
Oh!
What?
I have asked--
I have been shooting for seven months straight.
I haven't had time.
I know, you work constantly, and you're a hard worker.
But really, you should co-host one day or just host one day.
OK?
Yes, I'd love it.
For sure.
And you can start the show whenever you want.
I can!
I do like your schedule.
No, I literally am--
if she says come over at 7:00 if there's you know a party,
I'm there at like--
6:50.
Yeah.
Like at least 10 till or 5 till, like whatever the time is.
I don't know how, I always am early.
You really are.
And it's one of those pet peeves that I have, of like, if it's
7 o'clock, it's 7 o'clock.
You know?
Because I'm also up until the last minute getting ready.
I know you're not even out yet and you're in your room still.
And I'm in your living room.
Yeah and you're there talking to, you know--
The bartender.
--the dogs.
Yeah.
Your birthday party, by the way, was so fantastic.
Oh, it was fun.
I wasn't the first one--
Andy I am talking.
Andy, why?
He keeps going, break, break.
This is fascinating.
Break what?
Nothing.
[LAUGHTER]
This is fabulous.
He tries to stop the flow of the show all the time.
He acts like there's commercials and things that we have to--
[LAUGHTER]
All right, do you want me to break now?
We were in the middle of a fascinating conversation.
Look, you have 101, 140.
What do you have?
144?
We have an hour 40--
No.
I don't know what that means.
It's counting over.
We're a minute and 50 seconds over.
Oh, so we're going to cut all of this out of the show probably.
We're going to cut anything that we feel is not interesting.
[LAUGHTER]
OK.
All right.
All right, we'll be right back.
[LAUGHTER]
Jennifer Aniston in murder mystery, it's on Netflix.
It's so good.
It's so interesting you say that, because--
Adam was here, what?
How many weeks ago?
Couple of weeks ago.
And I saw you just going, gushing, gushing,
gushing about how much you love the movie.
I'd never heard not a call, not a text, not anything.
Really?
Yeah.
Maybe it's because I waited for you to be here,
because I thought if I tell you ahead of time,
it's going to look false for me to pretend like it's
the first time going, I love the movie
when I've already told you.
Like I haven't faked other things with you before.
[LAUGHTER]
Hey!
All right.
[LAUGHTER]
What is the movie about?
Tell everybody.
I really did, I thought it was hilarious--
I love you, I know.
--you and Adam.
So tell everyone about it.
It's a murder mystery.
It's basically, Adam and I are this sort of couple
and our relationship is a little-- it's been in a rut.
And he has never taken me away on a vacation
and so he surprises me with a trip to Europe.
And we end up meeting this lovely, rich man
on the airplane who invites us to come and stay on his yacht
with his family.
And we do and we are in awe, of course,
because we've never seen anything like it.
And then a murder happens and all sorts of crazy things
ensue as we try to figure out whodunit.
It's very funny.
So it's hilarious and it's a whodunit.
You are trying to figure out who did it the whole time.
And it's beautiful, you shot in Italy, it
looked like a very fun time.
It was, great group of people, wonderful cast.
But you all went to George Clooney's house
and what did Adam wear to dinner there?
Oh, well Adam doesn't have really a great wardrobe.
He doesn't.
But he didn't care.
That's his thing.
It's actually, he loves it.
Jackie, his beautiful wife, always dressed gorgeous.
And that's how he dresses.
And I'm not kidding.
OK, wait, those are the shorts.
So the way you kind of dressed that up,
was that he had a turquoise velour like Izod shirt
that doesn't go with that blue--
there you go.
Look at her!
See how gorgeous, Jackie, and then that's--
you know.
Well listen, it works.
I was at their wedding and they never
stopped being madly in love with each other.
So it just goes to show you, you don't judge a book
by that cover.
No, no.
