I'm awake.
Here, let me cover you up.
I'm so cold.
I'm like--
I should keep a throw out here.
People do that--
It's like the one day
I don't wear spanx.
Like usually I wear
spanx, and I'm sweaty.
And like the one day--
Well, you know we
keep it cold here.
You know that.
I feel like it's colder.
No, it's--
I feel like this is
like Letterman level.
Yeah, no, it's regular cold.
OK.
Like feel.
Mine's colder.
No?
Feel.
Yeah.
Oh.
Yeah, I like it cold.
Do you remember the time
we were just holding hands?
Yeah, remember that time?
Yeah, let's just do it
the whole interview.
Mary, how cold did they
keep it at Letterman?
55 degrees.
55.
And what--
It was like a meat locker.
We keep it 63 here.
Yeah, it's 64 right now.
Yeah, comedy is cold.
Oh my god, this is like being
in the house with my husband.
My husband likes it really cold.
Me, too.
I sleep with it at 64 at night.
God.
Yeah, congratulations for the
Grammy nomination by the way.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
[APPLAUSE]
Oh my god, I love this.
I love this.
There you go.
Now it's nice and cozy, right?
It's so many tips
I need to learn.
OK.
Yeah, yeah, I know.
Speaking of that, so
the last time you were--
I want blankets on my show.
You're inspiring me.
Yeah, so--
I'm going to have a
fire and blankets.
We had a fake fireplace for a
while like one or two seasons.
I know.
I watched the show.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Thank you.
But I didn't even remember
that until you just said that.
So you have your
own talk show now.
Yes.
Congratulations on that.
Thank you.
[APPLAUSE]
And--
You are one of the first
that believed in me.
Yes, I thought for sure you
should have a talk show.
So did you shoot
something already?
Did you shoot the pilot?
We did.
We did the pilot.
And I was oddly comfortable.
Like--
Oh, good.
Yeah, like I was kind
of terrified like when--
I remember I was
on here and I was
trying to convince you to
host the billboards with me
because I was terrified.
But once I did that,
I kind of figured out
if I led with music, then
it made me more comfortable.
So each show we lead with music.
Like I just come down singing
just a minute or whatever.
So they get to hear
you sing to start?
Well, in and like,
it's not my own stuff.
It's like I'm rocking
out to my own.
That's a little vain.
But I mean, I guess it's vain
to be singing in general.
But whatever.
But no, I do it on tour.
I like to lift up other artists.
You love artists as well.
Like you do that on your show.
I just-- yeah, I'm going to come
down and sing every-- and it
kind of prepped me.
So then by the time I
got down to the stage,
I was like oddly comfortable.
Well, that's good.
Well, that's why I thought
you'd be a great talk show
host because you are very
natural, very comfortable when
we see you on The Voice.
We see you-- and
you're just really
in your own skin, which I think
is the most important thing.
Thank you.
I do need to learn,
and I have literally
been watching-- like I've seen
your show like tons of it.
But I watch all your episodes,
and Oprah's and everyone's
because I'm like,
how do I listen?
Because I'm not-- I was
not good at listening.
Really?
I literally had Alex,
who produced the show,
had her literally make a drone
airplane on a big giant card
and like land it because
like I just don't shut up.
The airplane--
Like I was like, I just need
you to help me land the plane.
Like if I'm just still going
and like it's like wow,
this is not good, just get
right there in my sight
and just land the plane.
I see.
And then I'll be like
we're wrapping it up.
OK.
Yes.
Because I'm a conversationalist.
So--
Right.
So I'm not really good.
I like to invest.
So this really quick stuff
is really hard for me
Yeah, no, it's definitely
important to listen.
That is one of the
biggest things.
I know.
My husband probably wishes that.
Yeah.
Start with him.
Practice with your
husband, and that
would be good for the marriage.
Yeah.
And then--
It's pretty good.
It's pretty good.
It would be good
for the show, too.
You know?
Yes.
But--
It is hard though to like--
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't know.
It's hard for me
because when, you know,
I started out in comedy.
So if there's something
that someone says,
I have a joke right away.
But if someone's talking,
I have to let that joke go,
going that was a good
joke, and I just let it go.
OK, so I'm not a comedian,
but I literally--
I think because I did--
See how you just
cut me off just now?
I know.
All right, all right.
I know.
All right.
But no, I'm telling you.
I think because I cocktailed in
a comedy club for like years.
My natural inclinations
are joke, joke, joke, joke.
So it is so hard for me
to go like just interject.
Right.
Yea.
Yeah, it's--
I'm gonna practice.
Yeah.
I think you'll do well.
I hope so.
It's very-- I'm very
emotional you know that.
You want to talk?
[LAUGHTER]
I should have
probably had a co-host
so they could land the plane.
But Alex is going to do great.
But I like that
you just did that.
So when you start
to talk and you
see someone that looks
like they want to talk,
that's a good thing to
say, you want to talk?
You want to talk?
And then--
Is this your turn, OK?
It's a good thing
for a talk show--
I know.
--host to say.
You want to talk?
I know.
I think I'm going to be really
good at all the other things,
just not that one.
Right.
But I'm going to be good.
I like to-- I like a challenge.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
Good.
You're going to watch it
epically fail and laugh at me.
No, no, I am rooting for you.
You're my lead in.
I want you to succeed
for so many reasons.
Oh my god, I love that I get
to go before you, by the way.
Yeah, all right,
let's stop talking.
OK.
Shall we?
[LAUGHTER]
