[CHEERING]
Stop it.
Do they do that to everybody?
They do that.
A lot of them are coming in my car, home with me later.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
You brought a lot of them?
Cool.
I'm such a huge fan of yours.
Oh, thanks, man, yeah, me too.
I know your mom is a big fan of Ellen.
Yeah.
I hope I'm not disappointing her.
She's also a fan of yours too.
Oh, that's good, that's good.
She's like such a fan of Ellen's though,
that I can't bring her anymore.
Because last time I brought her, she sat right up here,
and she was just--
I could see her like out of the corner of my eye going,
you're doing so good.
Oh, good work-- oh.
A little distracting.
Yeah.
And then she got like a blender, like you
know how Ellen gives gifts.
And you guys are like, hmm, she does?
Really?
We didn't know that.
It would be weird if we gave away something today.
Yeah, that would be weird, ahh--
[CHEERING]
No, and now you don't get it.
You ask for it, you don't get it.
But she got a blender.
Sorry for yelling.
But she got a blender.
And my mom will tell absolutely everyone--
I just went and visited her, and she
tells everyone that comes in her house-- she's
like Ellen gave me this, as if they're
like very close personal friends.
That's hilarious.
Now is she still in Iowa?
You're from Iowa, right?
Yeah-- no, she's--
I actually am from Iowa.
And then I moved to Nebraska.
She lives in Missouri now.
We're Midwest to the bone.
Sure, sure, sure, yeah, I know.
Yeah, that's why I feel like a connection, right?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We do have a good Midwest connection.
Can you guys feel that?
Yeah.
I'm assuming you've been out here a few years now.
Yeah.
OK.
Several, yeah.
Was it weird for you when you first moved?
I'm taking over the interview.
I love it I love it.
Yeah.
No, thank you for asking.
Oh, man, I'm so nervous.
It was weired for me.
There's some differences.
Like, when I was living in Iowa, as a little boy,
there was like a lot of Amish people, you know?
And they lived right outside the city.
And they have to come in, because they need things
besides butter, you know.
Right
And--
They do?
Yeah.
I'm assuming.
They're just like, oh, OK, well we made the butter.
That's done.
We need other things.
We need bread.
Yeah.
So they would come in the city to get stuff.
And so I was used to seeing them.
And then when I moved to California,
I see like these Jewish guys, with like the hats,
and the hair, and everything.
And I thought they were Amish people.
And I thought they were cheating.
Oh.
Because I saw them get in like a Mercedes Benz.
And I'm like cheater.
You shouldn't be driving that.
You thought the car was being pulled by horses.
Yeah, yeah.
Yes.
Well, and so we have that in common,
that we're both from the Midwest.
But we also have another thing in common.
I've won two Emmys and you performed at the Emmys.
Right?
A few weeks ago?
Isn't that true.
Sean, we're the same person.
No, how was that?
Was it fun?
Were you nervous?
It was so fun.
I'd never been to the Emmys.
So the whole time, I was like, oh, look, he's
here, oh, look at that.
Yeah, there I am.
I'm a song and dance man.
Yeah, it's like a huge dance number.
Yeah, it was bizarre I don't know why I was on the short--
I feel like they called Josh Gad,
and he was like I can't do it.
And they're like, ah, let's dig in the crates,
find someone else.
Ah, this guy.
It was fantastic, though.
Did you have fun doing it?
Yeah, I had a blast.
I didn't know what I was getting myself into, honestly.
Like, my publicist, Carly.
What's up girl?
She called me, and she's like, I think
I can get you on the Emmys.
I'm like cool, like presenting?
She's like, not exactly.
But there's like a musical element.
I'm like, OK, I'm sure they're going
to have me say, like welcome to the Emmys or something.
Like the big opening.
Yeah, yeah.
And not that at all.
And I get the song.
And I don't listen to it, because I'm bad at stuff,
until like later at night.
And like right as I'm going to bed,
I'm like, I should check out that song--
if I say welcome to the Emmys.
And I play it, and it's like a two minute long song and dance.
Yeah.
And my girlfriend, who's laying in bed next to me,
she's like, oh, my God.
Oh, my God, are you going to have to sing all that?
And like her being frightened got me to be like, am I?
Ahh.
So then I couldn't sleep the rest of night
and I had to learn it.
Well, you really pulled it off.
Thank you.
It was so good.
Thank you.
And now, moving on, to Michael--
you're working with Michael Douglas on a show
that Ellen is producing.
Yes.
It's such a great idea.
You say it, because it's such a great idea.
Green Eggs and Ham.
The Dr. Seuss.
Yeah.
Right?
No applause?
Weird.
OK.
[APPLAUSE]
Kind of a big thing.
It's going to be--
it's going to be on Netflix this fall.
We've been recording it for--
So it's an animated show, Green Eggs and Ham.
Yeah.
And with an amazing cast.
Yeah, it's Diane Keaton, me, and Michael Douglas,
and my girl, Jillian Bell, like a ton of really funny people.
And we've been working on it for years.
And I've never actually met Michael Douglas.
Oh, yeah, he's-- well, you have to.
I worked with him on Will and Grace.
He was amazing.
OK, good.
Like super awesome, normal, hilarious guy.
Yeah, he seems so scary.
He does?
Just because I like--
like the movie Wall Street.
That's what I imagine he's like all the time.
Well, he's done a couple things since then, yeah.
Has he?
OK, well--
[LAUGHTER]
Tell me about that Jexi.
I saw this movie and it is absolutely hilarious.
And you are so good in it.
Thanks, thanks.
You're so good.
So legally, it's nothing like Siri.
And I want everyone to know that.
Yeah, yeah.
Legally.
Yeah.
Legally, it's not.
But it's, if you're phone, much like Siri,
but different, for legal purposes, the AI's defective.
And her whole thing is that she wants to make your life better.
But then by making my life better,
she becomes just possessed and very possessive over me.
And she tries to ruin my life, basically.
But it's a wonderful and hilarious comment on everything
that's going on.
Yeah.
That we're addicted to all of that.
Jexi opens in theaters next Friday.
Yeah.
