  • I sent him to be a chef at Benihana.

  • And here's what happened.

  • [MUSIC PLAYING]

  • He's an executive producer on the Ellen Show.

  • He works hard everyday.

  • He's super duper awesome at what he does.

  • And I'm Andy.

  • How are you?

  • Can I-- you this way, too?

  • Thank you.

  • You know, every day when we come in to Ellen,

  • she makes us bow to her.

  • We have to bow, but much lower.

  • All right.

  • Final one.

  • All right, one more!

  • Right, Japanese helicopter!

  • You're really making this your show, huh?

  • How about that?

  • Yes, that's good job.

  • Hoo!

  • Caliente!

  • And we cut hot potatoes, crimp it, and butterfly,

  • and cut hard, and push it out.

  • And then cut, and cut that.

  • Yeah.

  • Let's race.

  • Butterfly.

  • There you go.

  • Oh, so, you've got to bring it back.

  • OK, yeah.

  • You came to my house.

  • Oh, that's hot.

  • Yeah, so what's happening now is I'm bleeding

  • and I'm burnt in the face.

  • But I'm learning.

  • We're going to start cooking fried rice.

  • Yeah, I'll just--

  • I'll let you know if I bleed out.

  • But for now, we'll just keep going.

  • Let us do the fried rice.

  • No knife.

  • We focus spatula.

  • Yeah, still bleeding.

  • But we're going to keep going.

  • Yeah, funny to you.

  • Oh!

  • Because I am losing--

  • I thought you were just joking.

  • Oh, no, not joking, not joking.

  • But Ellen said I'm not allowed to take a break.

  • So--

  • OK, now, we're going to make heart.

  • Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, heart.

  • And you clean it up a little.

  • There you are.

  • Thank you.

  • Is that burned?

  • I don't I need an emergency room.

  • I'm good.

  • They're going to take care of it.

  • You do your thing.

  • Hoo, a little lightheaded.

  • But when you lose that much blood, it's to be expected.

  • Hello.

  • Hi.

  • Hey!

  • I'm Andy, your chef for today.

  • And this is my mentor.

  • Many people would say that I am now the master

  • and he is the student.

  • What are your names?

  • Sandy.

  • Sandy.

  • Lennon.

  • Look how handsome you are.

  • Journey.

  • Ah, I'm sorry.

  • It's hot.

  • Where's my knife?

  • I have a knife.

  • We're going to start--

  • I'm nervous.

  • You have these--

  • Yeah, I know.

  • Yeah, I know what I have.

  • Not in in front of the customers.

  • All right, so we like to get a good, hot oil.

  • I'm going to tell you right now, you're

  • going to want to sit back.

  • I'm going to be real honest with you, OK?

  • OK, so we're going to the onion now.

  • So have you ever seen a volcano?

  • Oh, you're bored already.

  • OK, so you see what's happening right here, kids?

  • I'm building a mountain.

  • And I'm hoping you guys have about four to five hours.

  • Cause that's what it's going to take.

  • Not every volcano is perfect, just like life.

  • Because right now, things are good, right?

  • You guys have a good life, great parents.

  • Eventually, life is going to bite you in the ass.

  • And so, like my life, this volcano is imperfect.

  • And that is my lesson.

  • Ready, kids?

  • Journey!

  • Journey!

  • And that is the fire of life, Journey.

  • This is exactly-- think about 17 years,

  • this is how Ellen looks at me every single day.

  • Do you know who Ellen is?

  • You like her?

  • Of course you do.

  • Journey, this one's for you.

  • Ready?

  • Enjoy that, Journey.

  • Don't eat that, OK?

  • A lot of people don't know that a rare shrimp is really good.

  • Do you guys like egg rolls?

  • Yes.

  • Yeah.

  • Here's an egg roll.

  • Nailed that.

  • Watch this, my sous-chef will spin.

  • Boom, boom!

  • Yeah, yeah, yep.

  • So really what's happening here is we are marrying flavors.

  • In the same way life is a journey of marriage,

  • it doesn't always work out.

  • They're saying now only 50% of the time.

  • But what we're going to learn today is that no matter what,

  • kids, this is the big reveal, anything

  • is possible as long as we have love in this beating heart.

  • You'll validate their parking?

  • [MUSIC PLAYING]

  • He's average in every other way.

  • [APPLAUSE]

  • Oh, Andy, thank you.

  • And thank you Benihana.

  • They want everyone here to enjoy a meal that's

  • not cooked by Andy.

  • So you're all getting a dinner for two at Benihana.

  • [APPLAUSE]

  • We'll be back.

  • Hi, I'm Andy.

  • Ellen asked me to remind you to subscribe to her channel,

  • so you can see more awesome videos, like videos

  • of me getting scared, or saying embarrassing things,

  • like ball peen hammer, and also some videos of Ellen

  • and other celebrities, if you're into that sort of thing.

  • Ah!

  • [BLEEP]

  • God!
