Our first guest is an Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning
actress, one of our all time favorite guests.
Please welcome my friend, Sarah Paulson.
[CHEEERING]
Hey, how come you're not here?
Well, I don't know if you know.
There's a pandemic.
And the main thing that happens when you scream with terror
is there is an ass, like a-- an ass, I just said?
Yes, you did.
An ass comes out of your mouth?
An ass comes out of your mouth, and that's very dangerous.
No, I will scream too much, and I don't want
to have aerosol dispersion.
Maybe we wouldn't scare you just to throw you off
if you were here.
No.
I know that that's no longer a possibility.
OK, all right.
Look at this.
Look at this terror that you've inflicted upon me.
Look at it.
People love it.
I do it just because the people demand it.
I don't want to do it.
It's just that people love it, and I
like to please the people.
I texted you after I watched Ratched.
It's a huge hit.
Congratulations.
You were fantastic.
Thank you.
[APPLAUSE]
I see your name in something and I
know it's going to be good because you've got great taste.
You're incredible.
You're just a marvelous actress.
Marvelous.
Thank you so much, Ellen.
That's so nice of you to say
And now there will be a second season, but when?
When are you going to shoot that?
I don't know how that's going to work out because I'm currently
doing American Crime Story, and I
think that will take us to the summer.
So I'm imagining early fall of next year?
And where are you filming American Crime Story?
Here in Los Angeles.
OK, good.
You're rarely home.
No wonder your relationship works.
You're never seeing each other.
Correct.
So American Crime Story--
Impeachment.
You posted a photo as Linda Tripp the other day.
Look at you as Linda Tripp.
Look at that.
How did that feel?
Was it easy to get into that character?
You know, it's more complicated than anything else I've ever
done, that's for sure.
Unlike when I played Marcia Clark--
I've played real people before--
there was a real opportunity to, I
think, right a collective wrong in terms
of how we thought about her and her purported failing
in that trial.
And with Linda, it's a little more complicated.
She behaves in ways that are a little bit more confusing.
Yeah.
And also, you're executive producing,
and Monica Lewinsky is also a producer.
So obviously, Monica is on board with what's happening.
Yes, and she's sanctioning everything and around a lot.
You know her as well, don't you?
I think she's a wonderful person.
Yes, she is.
I do know her.
She's fantastic.
So you're afraid of many, many things.
You were the first to admit it.
Are you nervous to be back at work?
I am nervous to be back at work, but I'm
sure this is happening for you as well.
There is so much testing happening
and a lot of PPE being worn, but it has turned me
into a bit of a-- it just sort of exacerbated my control freak
nature, and I've become a bit of a "ma'am" person, where
if anyone's mask even gets to the tip of their nose, "Ma'am.
Ma'am.
Ma'am, I need you to lift that up.
Mm-mm, nope.
Sorry, sir, sir."
I've just become that person all over the set.
it's not a great quality.
I don't think it's a great quality,
and I don't think it makes me a lot of friends.
But I don't want any of your germs.
No.
And you're right to do that.
It's keeping everybody safe.
There should be more "ma'am" and "sir" people.
Last time you were here, you rescued a puppy.
How is Winnie doing?
Winnie is great.
She has taken a tiny bit of a turn in terms of her habits,
which is a little unfortunate.
Yeah, she looks real sweet there.
Real sweet.
She's a humping machine.
Look at her.
That's a shame.
She humps anything?
what does she hump?
She humps my arm, Ellen.
My arm.
It's really upsetting.
Holland finds it to be-- look at that sweet, little face.
Oh, I know.
She's adorable.
She doesn't stop humping.
She's humping all day, every day.
Does she hump Holland as well, or just you?
She humps only me.
I don't know what it means.
Oh, my goodness.
She finds you attractive.
She might.
Yeah.
That's my child.
It makes Holland-- she rejects it
in a way that is so funny to me, I almost
want Winnie to do it more because I love watching
Holland get so disgusted.
Really, she's just like, oh, no, Winnie.
No.
Yeah.
I was at dinner recently with someone who-- under the table,
the dog was humping his leg, and he was just
allowing it to happen.
It was at dinner, and it was horrible.
And he said, "If I don't, she'll go tear up the house."
So he just lets her hump his leg under the table.
No.
I don't think it's a good idea.
No, I don't either.
I don't either.
You posted the cutest video.
Winnie is so cute.
You were going to vote, obviously, right?
I was going to vote, drop off my ballot.
Take a look.
Winnie.
Do you know what we're here to do?
Winnie.
Winnie, do you want to vote?
Winnie, do you--
Winnie?
Do you want--
[SPOOKY LAUGH]
[SCREAMS]
[LAUGHTER]
[APPLAUSE]
I want you to know, I was watching
and going, "Wow, they're really letting the whole thing play.
That's really something," and then--
How do you press "Leave Meeting"?
I'm leaving.
This is horrible.
I'm leaving the room, for God's sake.
All right.
We're going to take a break and--
All right.
Go on.
We'll take a break.
We'll come back.
More with Sarah after this.
Hi, I'm Andy.
Ellen asked me to remind you to subscribe to her channel so you
can see more awesome videos, like videos of me getting
scared or saying embarrassing things,
like "ball-peen hammer," and also some videos of Ellen
and other celebrities.
If you're into that sort of thing.
[BLEEP]
God [BLEEP]!
