What wears black and white and drinks red wine all over?
Our first guests.
Please welcome my friend Diane Keaton.
[APPLAUSE]
[MUSIC - BILLIE EILISH - "TOUGH GUY"]
So you're a tough guy, like it really rough guy, just
can't get enough guy, chest always so puffed guy.
I'm that bad type, make your mama sad type,
make your girlfriend mad type, might seduce your dad type.
I'm the bad guy.
Duh.
Oh!
She's so great!
Do you love her?
I love her.
[CHEERING]
Duh.
Thank you, too.
Listen to that!
I'm only good at being bad!
Do you know, I want to say something about Billie English.
Eilish.
Oh, Eilish.
I'm sorry.
I don't speak English.
So Billie Eilish, I mean, I can not tell you.
You know, I grew up in Highland Park, where she lives?
Can you believe that!
And her brother and she, they live in Highland Park.
Yes!
I guess that doesn't mean much to you.
Not really.
[LAUGHTER]
I'm sorry.
I thought I'd share that.
Well, no, it's good that you shared that.
Maybe I'll move along onto something else.
OK.
No, I mean, what kind of reaction
would you have wanted from that?
Let me give you--
From Billie Eilish?
No, let me just give you the sentence and then--
I'd like to see her.
And then you respond the way--
I'm supposed to respond?
OK, I grew up in Highland Park.
And that's where Billie Eilish and her brother live.
Yes.
Did I do that wrong?
[APPLAUSE]
That's the way they reacted.
I was giving you a chance to react the way you
thought we should have reacted.
Oh, oh, yeah.
Can you give me another chance?
Yes.
I grew up in Highland Park.
And that's where Billie Eilish and her brother
live, in Highland Park.
I don't really care about you.
[LAUGHTER]
That's what they did.
You showed up to our fundraiser at Grillpalooza.
I loved it!
You had fun.
I did.
And I'm glad you had fun.
You were there.
And you discovered-- you didn't discover something you liked.
But there was something you liked there.
And that is Chris Martin.
Uh-oh, let's not discuss that.
Oh, God, no.
He's-- oh, my God.
I loved that so much.
He was so great that night.
Wasn't he great?
And he was by himself.
I mean, he was just--
he's amazing.
Yeah, yeah, he was not with the band.
He was just performing by himself.
Really sweet.
He stepped in for Miley Cyrus because she couldn't make it.
Oh, he's just unbelievable.
And you know, I'm doing a fundraiser for the homeless.
You are?
Yes, I am.
When is that?
That's going to be in two months.
Two months, all right.
And I'm going to try to get him to come and perform.
Oh, my God, if we could get him.
Well, he's on tour right now.
But if you can get him--
I'm sure if he's around, he would do it.
Oh, I love him.
Yeah, OK, he's a he's a good one.
But there's plenty of people who will do that for you.
Because we need--
I'm glad you're doing that here.
This is the worst situation in Los Angeles in history.
It is horrible.
And I'm very excited about this.
And I hope that I do well for them.
Yeah, just going downtown, you're
just shocked by what's happening.
It's really, really bad.
Let's talk about the book, though.
My book.
Because this, I really want to--
this is beautifully written.
And everyone knows you as a very funny person.
And yet, you're talking about your brother in this book.
And some really, really hard stories that you're sharing.
You're very honest with it.
Tell everybody why you wrote it, and about your brother.
My mother was tremendous--
I mean she wrote reams.
When she died, I inherited her library.
And her library was full of all her journals.
And there's so many of them.
Then, when my brother got really ill, I inherited his.
And I never read all his poems, or seen,
or looked at all his collages, or any of it, really.
And so I had this opportunity to go back and revisit Randy
and, also my mother's journey through life.
So sometimes, you do these things.
But I think it's important to definitely, in some way,
not necessarily write a book, but document
to yourself what you've learned, as you've gotten older about,
what you could've done better, or something like that.
Yeah, well, I understand you're saying.
But I mean, there are things that you really
couldn't have done better.
And he wasn't really diagnosed properly.
And he doesn't know- he's not aware
that you wrote this book, right?
No, no, he will never know, no.
Because he has been diagnosed with dementia and other things.
But it went back and forth with schizophrenia
and a lot of different things.
And that's a really difficult thing, too, for you.
Because that's obviously nothing you could have done better.
Maybe.
Maybe I could have done better.
Yeah, I understand your feeling that.
But I don't think so.
But anyway, it's just really--
it's great for me to have the opportunity
to revisit my brother, and also to really--
that all families are different.
We're also different.
We all have these really intense emotional experiences
with our family.
And it's just, I think, really important to talk about it
more.
I don't know, within your own family,
if you really are open about your feelings and thoughts.
Right?
Yes.
It's a beautiful book.
And like I said, you just never know about somebody.
You see you in movies.
And you see you being hilarious on the show and everything.
And there's layers and layers to all of us.
And I'm glad that you're showing us this.
I think it's great.
Well, thank you, Ellen.
I really appreciate that.
All right, Diane.
We're going to take a break.
And we'll be back in a minute.
