A few weeks ago, John Legend was my guest host on my show.
-
And he has a pretty decent singing voice.
-
So I asked him to serenade someone in the audience,
-
and here's what happened.
-
I want to serenade you, so get over here.
-
Ahh!
-
(SINGING) You're a retired claims supervisor here
-
with your husband, Ron.
-
Oh, and if neither one of us was married,
-
ooh, we could get it on.
-
[CHEERING]
-
(SINGING) And oh, McNesheye everybody.
-
That made me happy, so I brought them back.
-
McNesheye, Ron, come on down.
-
[MUSIC PLAYING]
-
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
-
Hi.
-
[SQUEALS]
-
Nice to meet you.
-
How's it going?
-
Nice to meet you too, Ron.
-
McNesheye you didn't even say goodbye to your husband.
-
You ran down, and then during the song,
-
you just said goodbye to him.
-
Yeah.
-
Hashtag bye Ron
-
[LAUGHING]
-
Yuh-huh.
-
Yeah.
-
How did that feel?
-
She just left you.
-
Well, knowing that she loves you,
-
and she's excited every time she sees you on TV, and to see
-
and be serenaded by the sexiest man alive--
-
That's right.
-
--I was very happy for her.
-
Aww.
-
It was a good feeling.
-
Isn't that generous of you?
-
[LAUGHING]
-
She deserved it, so I felt good for her.
-
That's so sweet.
-
Y'all are such a cute couple.
-
You've been married for how long?
-
We've been 40 years.
-
We dated for much longer than that.
-
Right.
-
So you went to--
-
[APPLAUSE]
-
40 years.
-
But you went to elementary school together.
-
Yes we did.
-
But he's three years older than I am,
-
so I didn't really know him.
-
Do it again.
-
I didn't really know him.
-
So he says-- his story is he saw the cute little girl
-
with the skinny legs and the long hair.
-
And he said, I'm going to marry her one day.
-
And he has been saying this for 55 years.
-
And believe me, this is my girl.
-
[LAUGHING]
-
That's amazing you knew that.
-
I mean, you knew that in elementary school.
-
I saw those legs, and I said, I got to have her.
-
My legs were this big, Ellen.
-
[LAUGHING]
-
You got to have those legs.
-
All right.
-
So I actually know a lot about you
-
because after you were serenaded by John,
-
my producers talked to you.
-
And I found out that you've been married 40 years,
-
but you didn't go on a honeymoon.
-
No, we couldn't afford a honeymoon back then.
-
So after we got married, we just--
-
we were kind of poor, so we went to McDonald's.
-
Right.
-
OK.
-
[LAUGHING]
-
Was that a big treat for you, McDonald's?
-
Well, to me it was.
-
Yeah.
-
All right.
-
OK.
-
It was a happy meal.
-
All right.
-
[LAUGHING AND APPLAUSE]
-
That's probably where they got that from.
-
So you finally took a vacation.
-
You went to Hawaii for like three days, right?
-
Yes.
-
Like three years ago, four years ago?
-
Yes we did.
-
Right.
-
Then, I was a little bit afraid, so I wore my life jacket
-
the entire time I was on the plane-- the five hour flight.
-
[LAUGHING]
-
Five hours going, five hours coming back.
-
He thought I was insane.
-
Well, so do I.
-
[LAUGHING]
-
I was wondering what was wrong with her.
-
I mean, don't you think a plane has things like that?
-
Yeah.
-
But once it's going down, you have
-
time to get that thing from underneath and put it on you
-
and release this.
-
I had my hand on mine.
-
I was ready in case that plane went down.
-
She thought Shamu and company was going to get her.
-
Right.
-
Oh my God.
-
You wore the life vest on the plane.
-
All right.
-
Well, I got you-- in case you fly again--
-
I got you a gift because--
-
OK.
-
[LAUGHING]
-
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
-
I love that.
-
All of me loves all of you.
-
Oh my gosh!
-
Oh, that's so wonderful.
-
All right.
-
That's the best gift ever.
-
Yeah.
-
Thank you so much.
-
Thank you.
-
You can wear it, whether you're in a plane or not.
-
Whenever you want.
-
I'll wear this to the grocery store.
-
Yeah.
-
All right.
-
[LAUGHING]
-
Do you know why I gave it to you?
-
You know why you need that?
-
It's because I think you should go on the dream vacation
-
wherever you want.
-
So Shutterfly is going to give you $25,000.
-
Oh my God!
-
[SQUEALING]
-
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
-
What?
-
Wow!
-
Oh my God!
-
Oh my God!
-
Ooh!
-
We'll be right back.
