- I HAVE NOT SEEN YOU SINCE YOU HOSTED FOR ME.
I WAS--I WAS-- LOOK, I NEVER MISS A SHOW,
BUT I WAS VERY ILL A FEW MONTHS BACK,
AND I ASKED ELLIE, BECAUSE I THINK SHE'S VERY FUNNY,
TO FILL IN, BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT THE SHOW
TO NOT GO ON THAT DAY.
YOU DID AN AMAZING JOB. THANK YOU FOR HOSTING FOR ME.
- THANK YOU, ELLEN. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, TWITCH.
- I SEE YOU.
- TWITCH WAS ALSO THERE THAT DAY, YEP.
ELLEN, THAT WAS WITHOUT A DOUBT
ONE OF THE COOLEST DAYS OF MY LIFE.
I MEAN, CAN YOU IMA-- I--THAT'S ALL I DO.
I JUST DANCE.
WHEN IN DOUBT, DANCE.
THAT WAS-- I THOUGH IT WAS A PRANK AT FIRST,
BECAUSE YOU'RE A PRANKSTER, AND I DID COME TO THE, YOU KNOW,
STAGE, AND YOU WERE VERY-- I'M NOT LAUGHING,
'CAUSE YOU WERE SICK, BUT YOU WERE.
- I WAS VERY SICK. - YOU WERE VERY SICK.
IT WAS-- YOU WERE IN A BAD WAY,
BUT THAT'S FINE.
YOU'RE BETTER NOW.
- YES. - IT WAS A COMPLETE THRILL.
TWITCH WAS HERE WITH ME.
I HAD SO MUCH FUN.
- I TRIED TO STAY TO BE BACKSTAGE AT LEAST,
BUT I REALLY WAS TOO SICK.
I WENT HOME, AND I WATCHED IT AT HOME, THOUGH,
AND YOU DID A GREAT JOB.
- THANK YOU. - 'CAUSE IT'S REALLY HARD.
YOU JUST KIND OF-- YOU NEVER EVEN PRACTICED.
YOU JUST CAME THAT DAY AND DID IT.
- IN A WAY, THAT MADE IT LESS NERVE-RACKING,
'CAUSE THERE WAS NOT TIME TO GET NERVOUS.
WHAT I WAS BLOWN AWAY BY WAS HOW WARM YOUR AUDIENCE WAS,
BECAUSE I SORT OF THOUGHT, YOU KNOW,
PEOPLE CAME SO FAR TO SEE ELLEN, AND THEN THIS, LIKE,
MORON COMES OUT DANCING WILDLY, AND I CALLED MY PARENTS AFTER--
I CALLED MY MOM, AND I SAID,
"MOM, LIKE, YOU KNOW, IT WENT WELL.
"I--THE AUDIENCE WAS SURPRISINGLY WELCOMING.
"THEY MUST HAVE BEEN SO DISAPPOINTED.
YOU KNOW, ELLEN WASN'T THERE."
AND MY MOM SAID, "OH, I KNOW."
[laughter]
"I WOULD HAVE BEEN DISAPPOINTED TOO."
AND I'M LIKE, "NOW, MOM..."
BUT ANYWAY, NO, SHE WOULD HAVE PREFERRED THAT YOU HAD HOSTED.
- NO, WELL, AND THE AUDIENCE WAS LOVELY,
AND THEY WERE GREAT.
- SO LOVELY. WELL, THE LOVE YOU, SO...YEAH.
- WELL, AND THEY LOVE YOU AS WELL.
- I KNOW.
THANKS.
[cheers and applause]
- SO I'M DISAPPOINTED THAT I DIDN'T GRAB YOU FIRST
AFTER "THE OFFICE," BUT YOU'RE DOING A NEW SHOW WITH TINA FEY.
- YEAH. - HOW IS THAT GOING?
- IT'S GREAT. WE SHOT THE PILOT.
TINA FEY IS OBVIOUSLY A GENIUS.
IT'S ROBERT CARLOCK AND TINA FEY
WHO WROTE THIS NEW SHOW, AND WE SHOT IT IN NEW YORK.
IT WAS FREEZING IN NEW YORK.
THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME I'VE ACTUALLY SHOT A PROJECT THERE,
AND IT'S SO GREAT.
NOBODY CARES WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
LIKE, NEW YORK CITY IS JUST TRYING TO FUNCTION.
AND, LIKE, ANYWHERE WE WOULD SET UP,
YOU KNOW, P.A.s-- PRODUCTION ASSISTANTS--
WOULD SAY, "OH, EXCUSE ME, SIR.
"CAN YOU WAIT FOR 30 SECONDS.
WE'RE TRYING TO GET THIS SHOT."
THEY DON'T CARE.
THEY'RE LIKE, "I'M TRYING TO GET TO WORK."
I'M--I'M NOT GONNA WAIT FOR YOUR SHOT."
SO AND THAT--IT WAS GREAT.
IT WAS GRITTY.
IT WAS NEW YORK. I LOVED IT.
IT WAS 21 DEGREES, THOUGH, WHICH WAS TOO COLD.
- SO YOU'LL HAVE TO MOVE THERE IF THE SHOW GETS PICKED UP.
YOUR HUSBAND IS WILLING TO MOVE TO NEW YORK?
- HE'S--HE FOLLOWS ME WHEREVER I GO.
NO, HE'S A WRITER. HE ALSO HAS A JOB THERE.
- OH, OH, WELL, THEN THAT'S...
- IT WORKS OUT PERFECTLY. - THAT'S NOTHING FOR YOU.
- YEAH, NOTHING.
- AND--AND THEN YOU JUST SHOT A SEX TAPE.
[laughter]
- I DID. - YEAH, WHY...
- NO, I DID.
I'M A FUN-LOVING GAL.
- YES, I MEAN-- - I HAVE FUN.
- THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT SHOOT SEX TAPES.
- THERE'S LOT OF PEOPLE.
MANY PEOPLE HAVE GONE ON
TO GREAT FAME AND FORTUNE FROM SEX TAPES.
- THAT'S RIGHT. - YEAH.
YEAH, I... [laughs]
YOU'RE NOT GONNA--
- NO. - I HAVE A--
I SHOT--YOU GUYS, I SHOT A SEX TAPE,
BUT SO DID CAMERON DIAZ AND JASON SEGAL AND ROB CORDDRY.
IT'S A MOVIE. IT'S A MOVIE CALLED "SEX TAPE."
IT'S A MOVIE CALLED "SEX TAPE," AND...
[applause]
- I DON'T THINK ANYONE WOULD WANT TO SEE ME IN A SEX TAPE,
SO IT'S GOOD THAT IS ACTUALLY A WRITTEN COMEDY, YEP.
- YOU SHOULD TRY IT AND SEE. YOU NEVER KNOW.
- ALL RIGHT, I'M TELLING MY MOM.
SHE LOVES YOU. I HAVE YOU APPROVAL.
- ELLEN SAID. ELLEN SAID. - ELLEN SAID.
- AND YOU--I READ THE ARTICLE THAT YOU WROTE
ABOUT MEN BEING FUNNY, WOMEN BEING FUNNY.
IT WAS REALLY, REALLY CLEVER, VERY FUNNY.
AND THEN YOU WENT TO A TED CONFERENCE
AND SPOKE ABOUT WOMEN BEING FUNNY.
- YES, I DID A TED TALK, YOU KNOW,
WHEN PEOPLE GIVE TALKS ON THEIR AREAS OF EXPERTISE,
AND THIS WAS IN ST. LOUIS AND YEAH,
I TALKED ABOUT WOMEN BEING FUNNY,
AND IT WAS SUCH A GREAT OPPORTUNITY
TO TALK ABOUT THAT.
I TALKED ABOUT "BRIDESMAIDS," ACTUALLY,
AND HOW EVERYONE SORT OF THOUGHT,
"OH, THIS IS A MOVIE WHERE WOMEN ARE FUNNY,"
BUT WOMEN HAVE ALWAYS BEEN FUNNY.
AND IT WAS JUST THAT, I THINK,
ADOLESCENT BOYS WENT TO SEE THIS MOVIE,
WHICH PROVES THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN MAKE MOVIES LIKE THAT,
AND TO GET... BUYERS WILL BUY TICKETS.
- I THINK FOR-- WHAT HAPPENED?
- I DON'T KNOW.
AND...
- YOU JUST KIND OF CAME TO A STOP.
- WHAT I ACTUALLY-- I KNOW, I SAID,
"TO GET BUYERS WILL BUY TICKETS,"
AND THEN I JUST SORT OF FELL APART,
BUT IT'S GREAT.
- BUT I THINK FOR A WHILE THEY THOUGHT THAT WOMEN
MAKING MOVIES WOULD NOT MAKE MONEY,
AND I THINK "BRIDESMAIDS" PROVED THE WRONG.
"THE HEAT" PROVED THEM WRONG.
AND THERE HAVE BEEN MANY FILMS WITH WOMEN THAT ARE FUNNY AND--
- THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT,
AND I THINK THAT WAS THE TAKEAWAY FROM THAT,
AND YOU PUT IT MUCH MORE ELOQUENTLY THAN--
IN MY TED TALK, I WAS ELOQUENT ABOUT IT.
I PROMISE. - I'M SURE YOU WERE.
- I'M SURE I WAS.
- ALL RIGHT, WE ALWAYS SEND ELLIE OUT
TO DO A LITTLE TAPED PIECE,
AND YOU DID NOT DISAPPOINT THIS TIME.
- OH... - YOU WITH CHILDREN ARE--
IT'S HILARIOUS.
- I HAVEN'T SEEN IT YET. - IT'S VERY FUNNY.
WE'LL TAKE A BREAK, WE'LL COME BACK,
AND WE'LL SHOW IT.
- GREAT. THANK YOU.
