Hi, guys, I'm Tracy.
>> And I'm Andy.
>> And welcome to our cubicle Bachelor recap.
We're producers on the Ellen show, but
our favorite thing to do is talk about The Bachelor.
>> Yep.
>> I told you that it was my dream- >> Yes.
>> To have Chris Harrison come onto this show.
>> Yes.
>> Do you know what happened this week?
>> Did dreams come true?
>> Dreams came true, I got to interview Chris Harrison yesterday!
>> Woo-hoo!
>> You will be embarrassed to know me >> We gotta take a look.
>> Okay, let's watch it. Here we go. >> Great, let's watch it.
[MUSIC]
Chris.
>> Hi.
>> Hi. Thank you so
much for agreeing to come on our cubicle recap show.
I'm Traci.
>> I didn't agree to this but welcome.
>> My god, I >> Yeah.
You just broke into my- my dressing room but yes, hi.
>> Do you mind?
>> I mean, I'm glad I have my pants on.
How are you?
>> Well, I don't know if we all are.
>> Let's do this.
>> So I have some questions because as a fan,
I just feel like there are some things that I wanna ask and since you're here.
>> Okay, let's do it. Should we sit,
stand, what would you like to do?
>> I don't know, I'm super awkward please.
Let's do this.
>> My God. We're cuddling.
My question first of all is, and
obviously sitting in this position, will you be the bachelor?
>> Never.
>> Why?
>> Because, I feel like this is natural and I don't need the show.
I'd be like you and I are doing just fine.
Married dammit.
Another one.
How's you marriage working out?
>> Really well.
But, if not, I know exactly who to call.
>> Seriously?
No, it really is. I just got married six months ago, though.
>> So you're kind of in the grace period.
Give it- >> I've never
been happier than this moment right now.
[LAUGH] >> Give it another six months, and
then call me.
>> Okay.
Okay, but I really think you'd be great on the show.
But you know too much?
>> Well, here's the thing.
In all seriousness, after 15 years of doing this show, producing it and
knowing everybody, it would be very hard to be this naive.
Kind of character that just walks in the show and is sincere about it.
I would be worried about the actual show and producing it and
making good television.
Not the best way to find love.
>> Okay, are you dating?
I shouldn't have asked that.
>> [LAUGH] >> Sorry!
[LAUGH] Now I wanna ask some questions that I really do,
when I'm watching the show, even as a producer, I'm like why?
Cuz I just don't know why.
>> Okay.
>> Why don't the contestants eat on their dates?
The food always looks so good.
Do they later or before?
It looks like it's getting cold.
>> Do me a favor.
On the count of three, let's start chewing.
One, two, three.
>> [SOUND] That's bad looking.
>> How sexy is that?
>> Not sexy.
But then why have them sit at the table.
And the. >> Because dinner, candlelight, sexy.
>> [INAUDIBLE] >> Eating dinner is not sexy.
>> That first night.
They're all drinking, they're getting drunk.
I've heard that it last like 12 hours or something crazy.
>> All night. >> What are you doing?
>> If I'm not sleeping, there's- >> You're sleeping while it's going on?
>> There's a lot of times I- Here's the thing.
I've been doing this a while.
Back in the day, I was on fire, up all night, ready to go.
Now I will admit I doze off from time to time.
Some poor intern has to wake me up and is like, Mr. Harrison?
You've gotta go to work.
>> And then you go to work.
>> yeah, and then they get me out of my oxygen chamber and then I go work.
>> And then do you say, which phrase am I saying today, most dramatic?
>> Most dramatic [LAUGH]- >> Most controversial?
>> No, by then it's, I gotta pull Nick outta the cocktail party.
>> You know what I always wonder also, on that first night?
>> What? >> Does he actually remember who's who?
>> No. >> Does he study the people before hand?
Because like when he's like okay Daniel M,
like really by then you know which one is Daniel M?
>> Here's the situation.
We don't ever want to tell the bachelor, bachelorette what to do or say.
There's this weird way, even though they've picked the women already
we have already determined who's gonna stay, who's go,
there's a list and then we put them in order and
then we have them memorize as many as they can at one time and then we'll stop.
And then he will come down the hall and memorize three,
four, five names but smart they are sometimes two.
And then, they go back in and they'll do as many as they can.
>> What I really took away from that,
was that yes they pick them but you guys put them in order which I love.
Love, it totally makes sense because how does it always come down to the two most
dramatic, you're like, I don't know which ones I am gonna choose?
You really seem like you have a connection with the bachelor and the bachelorette.
So I am wondering, do you keep in contact with them?
Do you have some of their phone numbers in your phone right now?
>> I do.
I probably have like, I would say 10 to 20 >> Okay.
>> In my phone.
>> 10 to 20 of the contestants?
>> Yeah >> [SOUND]
>> Okay, can I-
>> Who's your favorite?
You pick one.
>> I pick one, we can maybe call them?
>> Yeah. We'll call them.
>> We'll call someone?
>> We'll call somebody right now.
>> Jojo?
>> Yeah, of course. >> [LAUGH]
>> [INAUDIBLE]
>> We're gonna call Jojo?
>> Let's see here.
>> For real?
>> Yeah, why not?
There's Jojo.
>> It actually says Jojo.
[MUSIC]
Are you talking- >> My goodness.
>> Okay.
Don't say anything mean because we're taping something on the Ellen Show right
now, and you are the one that- >> Ellen.
>> Ellen's not here right now.
Don't say anything that we would normally say to each other,
which would be inappropriate for air.
Okay >> I'm here with a super fan.
Say hi.
>> Hi Jo Jo.
My name's Tracey.
I'm a producer over at the Ellen show but I'm also.
>> What's your name?
>> My names Tracey.
>> Tracey.
Hi Tracey.
>> Hi.
Jo Jo. Jo Jo I had to tell you, I-
>> What's up girl?
>> My God, I knew we would be friends.
Okay, I have watched the Bachelor every season, and
he literally just asked me who would you wanna call.
And I said my favorite who was JoJo because your season was
my favorite season, I'm from Dallas, I just feel you girl, I loved your choice,
I loved the way you played the game.
I thought you were literally the perfect Bachelorette.
>> I love you. Thanks Tracy!
>> You're so welcome.
>> How are you guys?
What's happening right now?
I just got out of SoulCycle class.
>> You're in SoulCycle?
>> Listen Craig, I turned a new leaf.
I do SoulCycle like three days in a row now.
It's kind of crazy, but- >> All right, love.
Go SoulCycle, you know, firm the buttocks and the lats.
>> Firm it.
>> It was so nice meeting you.
If you're ever in L.A., please come to the Ellen show and come talk to me.
I literally will gush over you in person and you would have the best time.
I promise we would have wine.
>> My gosh, I love that.
I'm gonna get your contact from Chris.
I'm gonna hang.
>> Yes, yes, okay! >> [LAUGH]
>> Bye, JoJo, I love you.
>> Love y'all. >> Love y'all, love you.
[MUSIC]
Thank you so much, you just literally.
>> Do you know what we do after that?
>> What?
>> This is what we do.
>> Drop it.
>> And you walk off.
