>>> I love that.
John, we've seen this a thousand
times.
Scott is seeing it for the very
first time.
He's very young.
>> First time.
But I'm into it.
>> How cute is ducky.
Pretty in pink, of course, huge
success, John's career
incredible.
When you see that, John, do you
like it?
Do you go back into it?
Are you annoyed with me right
now?
Where do we stand?
[ Laughter ]
>> I am not annoyed in the
least.
I look back on the time that I
had hair with great affection.
However, it did take a long
time.
It took like 45 minutes just to
get that hair to do that.
So, you know, I'm in many ways
glad to move on from that.
>> The shoes, though.
The shoes are back.
All these movies are getting the
kind of reboot thing, right?
Netflix is taking a lot of them,
hulu is taking a lot of them.
Could you ever see a world where
"Pretty in pink" --
>> Could you?
>> Absolutely.
I know that there have been
discussions -- you know, I have
no news.
If I had news, believe me, I'd
let you know.
But I know people are actively
talking about that kind of
thing.
>> Would you let us know?
>> No, I would keep you out of
the loop.
You don't need to know.
>> In your book, in your recent
memoir you said things were a
little frosty on set with Molly
and Andrew Mccarthy.
What was that about?
>> Well, because I came from new
York City.
I'm kind of a loud mouth new
Yorker.
And as you can see by me having
the empire state building right
next to me.
And mollie and Andrew were both
kind of reserved people.
And so I had kind of expected --
I came from the theater, where
everybody knows everybody and
everybody has these outside
personalities and you're crammed
together and you have to work
together.
The movie is not like that.
You show up, do your job and go
home.
And I kind of expected that
camaraderie that you get from
the theater on a movie, and it
didn't happen, you know.
And so I think, I think that was
part of it.
I just sort of assumed because
they were so remote they didn't
like me.
I later found out mollie
actually did like me.
Andrew, however, didn't.
[ Laughter ]
But now we get along fine
actually.
I ran into him back stage at
"The view."
We had a lovely conversation.
He's a terrific travel writer
and director.
>> We had him on with his book,
the big travel.
2 1/2 men, hey, Charlie, I'm
going to act and I'm out?
>> That was my idea -- no, we
had a great sense of camaraderie
like that.
You do a show every Friday
night.
That was very comfortable to me.
We had a great time.
>> Looking back, there was some
craziness that did go on.
When you look back at some of
that time, is there a
conversation, is there a moment
that extinction out to you in
particular?
>> Well, you know, it was -- it
was -- it was crazy, as you
said.
It was way more craziness than I
really was hoping for, honestly.
>> Yeah.
>> And I, you know, there isn't
one moment, you know.
It was tough to watch a guy who
I had seen, you know, when we
started the show Charlie had
been sober for a while and was
really, really in control of his
it was tough to see that go
away, I would say.
That was the hardest part of
being involved in that process.
But actually doing the shows was
always great.
There wasn't a time it wasn't
great.
>> Every single episode, it
really was unmatched when y'all
were firing on all cylinders.
Have you talked to Charlie?
>> I've not, not in a couple
years.
You know, it's the kind of thing
that it's kind of a roller
coaster when you have Charlie in
your life, and I just haven't
decided to get bark ock on that
roller coaster.
>> I hear that.
People have been talking about
doing a reboot.
He wants it.
Would you, would you, would
you --
>> Again, I'm not sure about
getting on that roller coaster.
>> I love that he's dead, but we
love a flash back.
Or Scott, his twin brother
chuck?
>> Chuck is in town and he wants
his money.
>> There you go.
>> We've done the hard work.
>> We did it for you.
>> Thank you.
I know.
>> We've got to talk about your
daughter days before we go.
Tell us about her comic book.
>> God, I didn't mean to -- what
happened was my daughter decided
at one point with her friend
Stella she was going to write a
version of "Star wars," except
with narwal which makes total
sense.
And I -- she did it and did a
great job.
She finished the comic book.
I posted a picture on my Twitter
account because I'm a proud dad.
And then mark Hamil liked it and
said, your daughter is a
visionary.
And then Johnson, the director
of last jedi also chimed in.
The thing went nuts and people
are asking for this.
What's great, I can't wait for
the cease and desist order from
Disney to arrive at my doorstep,
but, you know, I'm still
incredibly proud.
I believe she's working on the
sequel as we speak.
>> That is so cool.
>> When you get a cosign from
mark Hamil, Disney can sit down.
>> Exactly, exactly.
>> John, tell Lisa your wife we
