  • I just fogged up my glasses. -That's the tricky thing,

  • you got to fog up your glasses, always.

  • -Alright, I'm taking this off. -Yeah, no one here.

  • -Just until we see people.

  • -Alright. Let's see. "Did you ever think of quitting

  • comedy when you were starting out?"

  • -Oh, I really didn't ever think. [ Laughs ]

  • -Honey, but you can decide to quit.

  • Did you ever think of quitting producing?

  • -Oh, no.

  • But did you ever think of quitting comedy?

  • -No. I figured just go for it.

  • I love doing comedy. I like making people laugh.

  • And it was -- It's fun.

  • It's lonely sometimes.

  • You know, when you first start out.

  • You don't make money.

  • Don't do it to make money.

  • But I never did. -Yeah.

  • -What was our wedding like?

  • -Oh, our wedding was so fun. -I hope it was.

  • -I mean, we had fun.

  • -Remember we tried to watch the DVD?

  • -Oh, God. That was -- -You can't watch it.

  • That's the -- No.

  • Don't get your wedding videotaped.

  • -That we can't even talk about.

  • Let's talk about the good parts of the wedding.

  • -I mean -- It's just that -- We had the best time ever.

  • And then you watch it back and you're like, "Eww."

  • -What happened was -- -No, don't even --

  • -We got engaged after dating for like three-plus years, I think.

  • -Normal. -Yeah, good, good time.

  • And it was in August.

  • And then I had to go immediately start production on a film,

  • on "He's Just Not That Into You."

  • And as I'm doing that and you're doing something else, we're --

  • but we're living in L.A.,

  • and we're making these lists and lists and lists of people.

  • And I'm like, "I don't have any time to -- what in the --"

  • We kept trying to talk to these wedding people,

  • and they wanted to talk about napkins and things

  • we just could not have cared less, really, on any level.

  • -Gross. -So we were home

  • for Thanksgiving.

  • The movie had just wrapped.

  • -Yes. -And Jimmy --

  • -My travel agent, I talked to my travel agent

  • because I was talking about the wedding

  • and what if we do a destination.

  • And so he was like, just -- It was Mikey, right?

  • -Mike. -He goes, "What's your dream?

  • Dream, dream, dream, dream, dream?

  • Where would you like to get married?"

  • I go, "Ah, dream is easily, Richard Branson, Necker Island."

  • He goes, "Perfect, that's good to know.

  • You have to rent it out for at least two weeks."

  • So he said, yeah, that's out of the question.

  • I go, "I gotcha, no big deal. Life goes on.

  • We'll find a place." Then he calls me back.

  • -Yes. -And it's around Thanksgiving.

  • Right? -Yeah, it was Thanksgiving.

  • -He calls, he goes, "Guys, this is the weirdest thing ever.

  • Richard's daughter is having a baby."

  • -His first grandchild. -His first grandchild.

  • And he goes, "And so he's so excited.

  • He's gonna go be with her when she has the baby."

  • -Over Christmas. -Over Christmas.

  • "So could you, would you --" -This is the first Christmas

  • they won't be... -That he's missed on the ground.

  • -...ever. -Yes.

  • Ever. He's still mad at me. Yeah.

  • But he goes, "Richard is a fan. He likes you,

  • so he'll rent you the island for two days," I want to say?

  • -It was like three days. -Three days?

  • -Yeah. -December 22nd

  • is when we got married.

  • -It was the 21st because my Dad's birthday, too.

  • -21st, 22nd, 23rd.

  • -We got this place for three days.

  • -I love Richard Branson. -So Jimmy goes,

  • "What if we got married in three weeks instead of next summer?"

  • And I'm like, "This is the best idea of all human time."

  • So we had 12 people at our wedding.

  • -Yeah, we couldn't invite people.

  • -I just got a dress done as fast as I could.

  • -There are some aunts that don't talk to us to this day.

  • -Some people are still mad, but no aunts came.

  • No, we just couldn't do anybody.

  • -It was us, brother, sister, best friend, and parents.

  • -Yeah. -And, man, we had a rager time.

  • -It was so -- -It was so much fun.

  • -They were so cool.

  • Everybody was so fun.

  • -Whoever worked the staff was so cool.

  • -Oh, no. -They were so nice.

  • -And they had animals everywhere,

  • and all these flamingos and the giant turtles.

  • [ Both laugh ]

  • -God. Don't you guys want to have dinner with us

  • and hear this story over and over?

  • -Yeah. -We just had the best time.

  • Our wedding -- -And then, on the 24th,

  • so we kind of like, "Had to do that," so we just thought,

  • "Who cares, Christmas, wedding, let's do a wedding."

  • And then on the 24th

  • we bid adieu to all of our little family,

  • sent them all home, and then Drew and Jimmy

  • and I stayed on Necker Island with the staff for Boxing Day.

  • -Yeah. They said, "As long as you take care of yourself..."

  • -They go, "We're not cleaning, we're not cooking."

  • -"We're not gonna treating you like guests.

  • We're treating you like you're staff."

  • -"Eat with us," and, like, do whatever,

  • and we're, like, in. -Yeah, almost like "Below Deck."

  • -Yes, oh, God. -We kind of worked there.

  • -They remind me of "Below Deck."

  • -And we did dishes with them and had dinner with them.

  • -Oh, my gosh, it was so fun.

  • -Hands down one of the best days and nights of my life.

  • -It was the best wedding I've ever had.

  • [ Both laugh ]

  • -Yeah. -Yeah.

  • Wish you all could've been there.

  • And those aunts and uncles.

  • -Nancy, can you tell us about your experience working

  • with Clarence Clemons? -[ Gasps ] Oh.

  • -Yes, I loved him so much.

  • The funnest thing about -- Well, Clarence --

  • I met Clarence at this incredible place called

  • Glide Methodist Memorial Church

  • in the Tenderloin in San Francisco.

  • And he asked if I would work just for three days for him,

  • cleaning up his office and organizing.

  • And at the end of that he said, "You have to be my assistant."

  • So we started working together.

  • Oh, and it was when he and Bruce weren't together.

  • And so it was a trying time for him.

  • Because I think a lot of the band wanted to keep

  • being the E Street Band

  • and were looking for their identity.

  • But one of the coolest things we did was go

  • on a 13-horn band tour all over the East Coast.

  • Like, all different cities.

  • Like, little cities, like -- -Like, big band or brass?

  • Like New Orleans jazz?

  • -God, they were so cool. I should remember all of them.

  • -Wow. -When I was working for Clarence

  • was when I met Drew.

  • So I went from Clarence to Drew.

  • -I mean, good year. -In my bad history, yeah.

  • -Good couple of years right there.

  • -Yeah. Couple of years I worked for Clarence,

  • he was the coolest.

  • -I met him with you the last tour.

  • -Yes.

  • -He really was a big dude. -Yeah, he was just -- his hands.

  • His head. His everything.

  • His ears.

  • I mean, he's just -- really amazing.

  • -Big, great guy.

  • -He was such a sweetheart.

  • And such a love.

  • And he had the best kids. -Yeah.

  • -All his ex-wives were good friends still with him.

  • And so we had a blast.

  • -Love to The Big Man, Clarence Clemons.

  • -Yes. -Is that good "Ask the Fallons"?

  • -I think -- -That's a lot.

  • -We hit a lot. -We did a lot of stuff.

  • Alright, here we go.

  • -See you next time.

  • See you tomorrow, it feels like.

  • -Whatever it is. -Yeah.

  • -We'll see you when we see you guys.

  • -Bye! -Bye, thank you.
