Hem low. Hello. Hi, everybody. I'll have a double latte. Help me, Strahan. Help me, I could go down like a house of cards. Back together. Thank god. Not talking to you. Hi. Hi. Will you be my safe place against George? Yes. Please take a seat. He'll help you. The chemistry is palpable between you two. That's right because I'm going to use your private parts like a bag at the gym. Okay, first are you a little bit -- okay, you guys, this book -- that's my opener. That's the nicest thing I said to you. It actually is in at least a year. Do you like it? Absolutely. Why you so mad at George. First of all I'm proud of this book there's a lot of stories about myself with famous people who have a lot of dark secrets and tell me things in private and then I put them in a book, all right. So I'm very -- I open up all the time. He's always calling for gossip, what's going on with the lohans? Anyway, you know how he is. So I am very proud of this and wrote a book about all the celebrities I have met over the years that I didn't put in my act or they were unique run-ins so one I'm quite proud of is that last time I was on the show I asked for your wife's e-mail. You accidentally sent me an e-mail from yours like, hi, Ellie, sweet, I have his e-mail so how long have I been torturing you? A long time, midnight. When she's going to bed I'm starting to get up. Exactly. She randomly writes inappropriate things. Like I'll write him an e-mail that says, hey, George, I'm going for a hike today. Why are you asking? And then he is so safe. Like he knows if he does something outrageous it's on new year's eve or theage so he's always like lol, have a good day. Terrified. But I'm going to catch him. One of these times. You bet. So many different -- I've seen your act many times. You do talk about people we hadn't heard before. One story made me laugh was Jane fonda. Yes. Your opening line is Jane fonda made me the worst quesadilla of my life. I am like a big bucket list and go out of my way truly to meet my bucket list people like I'm proud of this. I don't know anything about the sports world, I apologize but I actually -- That means I'm safe. For now, easy, tiger. One thing I love when you're a comic. You meet an array of people so it's not just comics. I'm going to make this quick. I got to be friends with Kareem Abdul Ya bar and proud myself because I wrote the joke he said at the democratic national convention so, "A," you wouldn't think I know him. That's weird. That's like a weird reason to buy the book. He went out and said, hey, everybody, my name is Michael Jordan and I'm with her. He said the reason I'm saying that it's not like trump will know the difference and so I enjoy -- You wrote that. I did. It was on ESPN and everything. I was so excited. So then one of my joys is you know my 96-year-old alcoholic mother. Oh, how is mom. She's drunk. And she's 96. What am I going to do? Yell at her. Send her to rehab with Kanye. Oh, my god. Are you all over that. We did it this morning. What do you think. I think he likes attention? Really. What do you think? What do you think are his psychological issues? She's digging. How dumb do I look? Come on. All right. Fine. So I got to -- one thing I love is my mom Maggie is 96 years young and so she loves meeting celebrities so my friend Gloria estefan, you heard me, yeah. Catch it. All right, so Gloria is doing this amazing concert at the Hollywood bowl and I want to take my mom but my mom won't agree because my mom is afraid seal's get what's called the runs. When you're a senior citizen it's all about that. What? It's all about, so I took her backstage in a wheelchair, team estefan, Emilio all met her and then my -- Gloria devoted "Young at heart" to my pom at the Hollywood bowl and my mom told her she was very good for a girl's singer. And the kicker is that Andy Garcia was literally playing the bongos for one song like a big surprise so afterwards I introduced my mom to Andy, a giant movie tar and turing to him going every band needs a drummer. So good for you for having a teddy job as the drummer. What about Jane's quesadilla. We'll get into so much trouble. Jane made Moore a horrible quesadilla. Went through a horrible breakup. I panicked and called Gloria steinem. What do you care about men, women are more important. I said I'm a wreck. Can I come over? She let me like complain about men and how horrible they are. And she was super nurturing and sweet and made me a quesadilla and because it's Jane fonda who is perfectly fit and never has cheese it was the worst of my life. It was just health like a quesadilla filled with -- Filled with great advice. Kathy griffin, "Celebrity run-ins." You're welcome. Go pick it up everybody today.
