-You look amazing. -Thank you.
-This is an incredible outfit.
-Well, I wore it for you. -Thank you.
-I like a pant suit, but I don't like it to look so manly.
-Yeah, well, this is not that. -Thank you.
[ Laughter ] Thank you, Seth.
-This is not -- no one would say that about that.
-Thank you. -Hey, I want to say
congratulations. You -- this is your 10th year
of your television show. Congratulations.
[ Cheers and applause ] It's amazing.
-I got to tell you,
I never thought we would make it this this far.
-Uh-huh. -You know, when we first
got started, I said, "All right, if I'm just on for three years,
you know, I will mind my own business
and go on about my life."
But it takes so much. You know, you've been on for years.
-Yeah. But less than you, I am four years.
-Yeah, but you're a white man. -Thank you.
[ Laughter ] -Okay.
-I feel like nobody ever mentions that, and thank you.
-Well, the world is built for you.
-It is, yes. -Plus, you're very civilized.
-Yeah, I try to be, yeah. -And I have my ways about me.
-That are maybe less?
-Well, I'm from Jersey. -Yeah.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-[ Laughs ] -Well, I will say,
and I've done your show, and it was a delight to be there.
You very much do things your own way.
I mean, not feel as though it reminded me
of anything else being there.
-I can't be anything but me.
-Yes, I believe that.
-And the idea that the people have kept me here
for ten years, I'm like, "Thank you, people."
You know, thank you. -Well, your audience,
and I mentioned this last time you were here, it is a party.
It is filmed in the morning,
and I was in my dressing room and I felt like
I was above the hottest nightclub in New York City.
-Yep. That's how we get down.
-Yeah, everybody really gets down.
And I know you actually went --
you traveled around to celebrate ten years.
-Yeah. -Where did you go?
-I still like doing market visits, you know what I mean?
-So you go to the places where the people
are watching your shows? -Touch the people
and see the people and, you know,
go on the local radio shows and local television shows.
And then, we have a venue and I do an evening with Wendy,
which is full of salty jokes and "Ask Wendy"s and stuff.
But I love to go where the food is.
-Oh, gotcha. So when you plan a trip,
do you plan it around -- is that fish?
Oh, okay. Or are you just miming what it's like when you eat?
-My mouth is watering. -Oh, it's watering.
[ Laughter ]
-Here's the thing.
When you go to Atlanta,
you know the collard greens are going to be excellent.
-Gotcha. -You see?
And I like collard greens, but I don't like the vein.
-Interesting.
-So you have to go to the correct spot.
-Oh, because some places will devein
the collared greens for you? -Well, like, do you like
a Caesar salad? -Sure.
-Do you like the vein, that big fat piece in the middle?
-No, but I didn't know there was a world
where I couldn't get that.
[ Laughter ]
-You have to meticulously take your time.
-But you're not -- you're too busy.
You're not taking out the vein
in your own collared greens, right?
You have somebody else doing that for you.
-No! -Really?
-Who do you think I am?!
[ Laughter ]
-Don't take this the wrong way.
You're dressed like a woman
who does not deal with her own deveining of collared greens.
[ Laughter ]
-I devein my own collared greens.
-Okay. -I will not complain.
-Oh, wow, great. -The same thing with cabbage.
I don't like the vein. Do you like the vein?
-Again, I'm with you 100 percent on this.
You don't have to ask for every type of lettuce.
[ Laughter ]
-Well I learned these little tricks
many, many moons ago when I was a little girl.
You know, when we'd shop for fruit during the summer,
and my mother taught me how to --
[ Laughs ]
[ Laughter ]
-I got to be honest, based on the setup of this story,
I have no idea what's making you laugh.
[ Laughter ]
-Well, devein the collared greens.
-Okay. -While she's over, picking
the stems off of the cherries.
-Why wouldn't you -- she would do that at the --
-I come from working class. Stems cost.
Who eats that? -Oh, you mean,
because they weigh the stem?
-They weigh the whole cherry.
-Oh, so your mom was taking the stems off
because she didn't want to pay
for an inedible part of the cherry?
-Right, and I'm over here with the collared greens saying,
and we don't want to eat veins. -Wow.
-Yep. -So --
[ Cheers and applause ]
So if I go to the grocery store after the Williams family,
I'm just like, "There's stems everywhere."
-I've been there. -You are of course now --
you're different, congratulations.
Obviously, you're in a different life right now,
living your best life. You take vacations.
-I buy the stems and everything. -You buy the stems.
That's great. -I can't.
And I pick my own and devein at home.
-That's nice of you now. You're paying it forward.
