  • - Well, congratulations to you. - Thank you.

  • - That's a big deal, first time in 40 years.

  • - That's crazy. - Yeah.

  • - Since Lynda Carter. - Yeah, really, really cool.

  • Have you seen--you're too young to have seen those shows.

  • - I saw--I've seen a few episodes.

  • - Yeah. - Yeah.

  • - To do research for this? - Yes.

  • - Yeah. [audience laughter]

  • So, I mean, everyone's talking about the show.

  • There are billboards everywhere.

  • Is that surreal, to see yourself everywhere?

  • - Well, I know that they're there,

  • but I've really not seen that many of them.

  • - Really?

  • - I take the same way to work every day.

  • - Oh, I see. - So--and then I'm here--

  • I'm at Warner Bros. like all the time.

  • - Yeah, that's the only problem, you're kind of--

  • you're in a bubble, 'cause you're here working,

  • so you don't really know the impact,

  • but I'm telling you, a lot of people are talking about it,

  • and there are billboards everywhere.

  • - Right. I've seen pictures of the one downtown,

  • where it's like an entire building.

  • - Yeah, it's really exciting.

  • So, do you have to learn a lot-- I mean, some of this--

  • Obviously you didn't fly in the air like that.

  • Or did you fly in the air like that?

  • - I do. Actually, I can fly.

  • - Wow, you can fly. That's how--

  • Maybe that's how you got the role,

  • 'cause you can actually fly.

  • And you went to school in New York?

  • - Yeah, I went to college at Marymount Manhattan College

  • on the Upper East Side.

  • - And you had interesting jobs. - I did have one day job at--

  • Do you know the store Hollister?

  • It's like a sister store to Abercrombie and Fitch?

  • - I've heard of it. - I was--I was a--

  • They have these people that are "greeters,"

  • is what they're called, and they wear bikinis

  • and they stand at the front of the store,

  • and all I did for like six to eight hours a day was,

  • "Hey, what's up?

  • Hey, what's up? Hey, what's up?"

  • To everyone that walked into the store.

  • We were just greeting everyone shopping at Hollister.

  • - You were on the street in a bikini?

  • - Sometimes, like on Broadway in Soho in New York.

  • - Wow. - If it's nice outside.

  • I mean, if it's freezing cold,

  • we're, like, two steps inside the door.

  • - Inside the door. And did you find that

  • you would pull people in that maybe

  • were going to pass the store?

  • - We might've.

  • I guess I wasn't paying attention to that.

  • But I'm sure some people were-- - Well, that was your job.

  • What were you paying attention to?

  • - All I--Ellen, all I was saying was, "Hey, what's up?"

  • - Yeah. - "Hey, what's up?"

  • You kind of phone it in after a while.

  • - So maybe you were perhaps looking like a crazy person

  • saying that, and no one was passing the store at all.

  • - To air. To just thin air.

  • - Yeah. Just, "Hey, what's up?"

  • - "Hey, what's up?" - Yeah.

  • You brought a picture.

  • What is this picture that you brought to show us?

  • - Well, I know that you sometimes will show people

  • pictures of bad hair,

  • and I've got a doozy.

  • I got a few doozies. - Is this recent?

  • - It's not recent, no. - Oh, then it doesn't count.

  • I'll look at it, but it doesn't count.

  • I ask for current pictures of--

  • [audience laughter]

  • - It's--it's good!

  • [cheers and applause] That's a good one!

  • [cheers and applause]

  • Seeing it so big like that is--

  • I did not expect it to be as traumatizing as it is right now.

  • [audience laughter]

  • - It's almost like there are several hairstyles

  • going on at once.

  • [audience laughter]

  • - Do you know what? I think it looks like

  • I'm the Ghost of Christmas Present, though.

  • That I'm--like I've got a Christmas wreath.

  • I could be like, "Ebenezer." - Yeah.

  • [audience laughter] Oh.

  • Wow, so that's like a photo shoot.

  • You've got a little chair, and--

  • - Yeah, like glamour shots. - Yeah.

  • Someone thought that hair was good enough

  • that we should put her in a photo shoot.

  • [audience laughter]

  • - That's just the good ol'--

  • - That's a-- you've got thick hair.

  • You've got a lot of hair. - I do.

  • - Yeah. - Well, it's--

  • My mom actually chose that hairstyle

  • and did it herself, because my dad would come home every day

  • and I was such a wild child that my hair would be in my face,

  • and he'd be like, "You need to do something

  • about that girl's hair."

  • - Yeah. - And so she gave me a mullet.

  • [audience laughter]

  • - Mm.

  • Well--and, look, you know, again, you persevered.

  • - I did. [audience laughter]

  • - It just shows that that did not stop you,

  • having hair like that.

  • How long did it take to grow out that look?

  • - Oh, I had it, like,

  • till second grade, from preschool to second grade.

  • - Well, that's about second grade right there, right?

  • - No, it--well, I think it-- Yeah, it might be.

  • - Something like that. - Uh huh.

  • - Well, you're still adorable.

  • And I know you have dogs that are--

  • I saw the pictures of the dogs. They're so cute.

  • - They're awesome. - They're cute, cute dogs,

  • And because... - [gasps]

  • - They should have-- - [screams]

  • God, oh, my God, oh, my God! - Like Mommy.

  • - Oh, my God! - Like--

  • [cheers and applause]

  • - This is amazing! - They're super dogs.

  • -They are! [cheers and applause]

  • [cheers and applause]

  • All right. [cheers and applause]

  • Those are for your dogs.

  • - This just made my day. - And they're adorable, too.

  • - They're going to look so cute.

  • - Well, they're going to love it, and congratulations, again.

- Well, congratulations to you. - Thank you.
