  • We're back with my friend Oprah Winfrey, who--

  • I don't know how many people know this--

  • but you were very, very sick recently?

  • Yes, I was.

  • Very sick.

  • I just got cleared yesterday.

  • Congratulations.

  • Yes.

  • So here it is.

  • I came back and I thought--

  • I came back from overseas, and I thought I had a cold.

  • But it wasn't a cold.

  • I ended up in the emergency room and they

  • said, "You have pneumonia."

  • And I go home with pneumonia.

  • And Pneumonia is nothing to play with, ya'll.

  • It is very serious.

  • And I was on antibiotics for a week.

  • The antibiotics weren't working.

  • And then I went back for another CT scan

  • and they say, "It's actually worse.

  • You should see a lung specialist."

  • So I go into the lung specialist.

  • This is a moment.

  • I love the lung specialist.

  • Dr. K, you're fabulous.

  • But I go in and I can see him.

  • I said, "Look, I've got a little rattling."

  • He puts a stethoscope here and I see the "Oh, [BLEEP]"" face.

  • It is like, oh, my...

  • Something's wrong with you.

  • And I can see it.

  • He didn't hide it.

  • And I said, "I told you, I sound like a rattlesnake in there."

  • He immediately said, "You must cancel everything."

  • I've never canceled anything in my life.

  • No, you work when you're sick.

  • I work with I'm sick.

  • I worked all the time when I was sick.

  • He goes, "You must cancel everything.

  • You cannot fly for a month."

  • And then he had 18 vials of blood drawn.

  • And so I thought, oh, this must be very serious.

  • Because I saw his face.

  • And I went back in a week, and I was better.

  • He called me every day to make sure I was using the inhaler

  • and taking the right antibiotics.

  • And when I walked in and I was better,

  • he thanked me three times for getting better

  • and said, "Can I have a hug?

  • Can I have a hug?"

  • And I could tell that he was like,

  • "Not on my watch is this going to happen."

  • Yeah.

  • Yeah.

  • Well I'm glad you're better now.

  • Well thank you, neighbor.

  • Yes.

  • Thank you.

  • I'm glad you're feeling better.

  • I am.

  • All right.

  • But don't play with it.

  • And get your flu shots and get your pneumonia shots.

  • It's nothing to play with.

  • It takes people out.

  • [APPLAUSE]

  • But I'm telling you, it changed the way I look at wellness.

  • And you're going on tour--

  • So now I'm going on tour to talk about it.

  • So tell me what you're doing about this tour.

  • No, but I was always going to be doing that.

  • You know, I had a bunch of people--

  • One of the things I did in Hawaii this summer

  • was to have lovely people from WW--

  • formerly Weight Watchers-- come to my house

  • to celebrate all of their wonderful victories

  • in weight loss and turning their life around

  • in terms of being healthy and strong.

  • And we had such a good time.

  • And everybody said, "Oh, too bad you can't invite everybody

  • to your house."

  • And I went, "No, I can't invite everybody to my house.

  • But I can go out and try to see as many people as possible."

  • So I'm doing nine cities, starting in January, on tour--

  • [APPLAUSE]

  • --for wellness, health, well-being.

  • You go to Ellen's website, you can see what city--

  • I'm going to be in a city near you.

  • That's fantastic.

  • So you're just talking about wellness?

  • Yeah.

  • Well, not just talking about it, but trying

  • to motivate people to take care of themselves

  • and to not get sick with pneumonia,

  • and to really transform their life.

  • Because it's called 20/20 Vision--

  • Your Life in Focus.

  • You know,I've done this before, sort of.

  • We called it "The Life You Want," several years ago.

  • But I love having immediate contact with the audience

  • and being able to share stories and inspire

  • people to be their best selves.

  • Yeah.

  • This is what you said you miss the most,

  • is having this immediate contact with the audience.

  • So hi, immediate contact.

  • Yeah.

  • Well, you look fantastic.

  • Thank you.

  • You look great.

  • So I'm sure--

  • For somebody who just got over pneumonia.

  • Well, for anybody.

  • No matter what, you look fantastic

  • 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.

  • [SCREAMS]

  • Oh, [BLEEP]!

  • God, [BLEEP]!

We're back with my friend Oprah Winfrey, who--
