this was a surprise to them.

So they're very--

Oh, that's so kind.

--excited to see you.

Thank you.

She was my favorite.

Like--

Yeah.

Like we knew each other, she was like--

[LAUGHTER]

Yeah.

She gave me the church lady wave.

Uh-huh.

[LAUGHTER]

I like that.

Thank you.

[INAUDIBLE]

Thank you so much.

That's very nice.

Thank you.

You were supposed to be here--

I don't know how long ago.

But you canceled, because you had laryngitis.

And that's not a good talk show guest.

I had a bruised vocal cord.

Yeah.

Yeah.

How do you bruise-- singing wrong?

Were you singing wrong?

How do you bruise it?

I hope not.

I'm not saying you-- you--

I was oversinging.

Oversinging.

Too many shows in a row, and--

Yeah.

--not 25 anymore.

Right.

So you bruised your vocal cord.

You couldn't talk for how long?

It went by so fast.

No.

I would say probably three to four weeks, so it's--

And then how did you communicate?

Because that would be really tough.

Did you write?

Yeah, a little bit.

I had a little dry erase board.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

I mostly just made facial--

Yeah.

--confirmation or--

Yeah.

[LAUGHTER]

Joy, sadness--

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

That kind of thing?

Yeah.

I would think that--

is it--

There's a lot of face acting involved--

And you'd be good at that.

--which is my thing.

Yeah.

A lot of people don't know that, so--

Oh, no.

I do.

I know that about you.

We're close enough friends that I know that that's

what you're known for.

Now, when this happens, at first, I'm sure it's difficult.

But then is it kind of freeing to be silent that long?

[LAUGHTER]

No, I actually--

I loved it.

Yeah.

No, I can tell by the facial expression.

Yeah.

You just did it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

As a matter of fact--

[LAUGHTER]

Yeah.

Yeah.

[CHEERING]

Yeah.

You're a doctor--

You knew everything I said.

And you knew everything I--

And we can't repeat it on television.

No, if people-- if they only knew what we just said to each.

Oh, my gosh.

Oh, the rumors.

[LAUGHTER]

You're a doctor now.

He got a doctorate from--

I got--

--Berkeley, right?

From Berkeley?

Yeah.

That's a big deal.

Yeah.

[APPLAUSE]

That was pretty amazing.

Yes.

Yeah.

Yeah, a doctorate in music.

You're a doctor of music.

I'm a doctor of music.

And how do you practice that?

You just keep musicing.

All right.

[LAUGHTER]

You just music wherever you can--

Oh, well--

--you know?

Which is good, because we like your music.

Well, thank you.

Yeah.

So can you help with this coronavirus in any way?

No.

OK.

Ellen should have a doctorate in awesomeness.

That's right.

Yeah.

[CHEERING]

You're right.

Let the phone calls come in.

Yeah.

All right.

We should start that campaign.

This is why he's all--

Dr. DeGeneres.

Yeah, that's too hard to say.

That's why.

Dr. D. Just--

Yeah, Dr. D.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I like it.

It's got a ring to it.

Smooth.

I want to show people why you should be a doctor, because we

did a sketch here, and--

Oh, right.

Yes

--you were a natural at it.

This is before I was officially a doctor.

This is probably why you got it.

Yeah.

They probably saw this.

What an audition.

Should we--

Yeah.

All right.

Roll the tape.

Roll the tape.

Roll it.

From executive producer Ellen DeGeneres and not Marvel--

[LAUGHTER]

Strange Doctor.

The doctor will be with you shortly.

Thank you.

[LAUGHTER]

[INAUDIBLE]

Strange Doctor.

Is this part of the check-up?

Shh.

Just enjoy it.

Strange Doctor.

I'll show you mine if you show me yours.

Is that a test tube I'm feeling?

Strange Doctor.

Strange Doctor.

[CHEERING]

Justin was part of our Greatest Night of Giveaways.

You helped the Benders-- the family--

Oh.

Oh, yeah.

Oh.

You crushed me.

Well--

That--

That was so sweet.

You not only helped the family, but then you sent them

to a restaurant afterwards.

I saw them-- well, I don't know if any of you

got to see the show, but I was a surprise-- there I am.

And I've never been more nervous to walk onto a stage.

I was already crying so hard that I couldn't

see my way down the stairs.

And I was like, I'm going to bust my--

walking down the stairs.

That family is just unbelievable.

Yeah, he was diagnosed with ALS.

And the family is incredible, and--

Yeah.

Yeah, I know.

You were--

So I met with them after the show.

That's what you're talking about.

Yeah.

And they were talking about being in LA.

And I was like, well, you've got to go [INAUDIBLE]

some sushi if you're in LA.

There's so many good sushi spots.

So I sent them to a place that I really liked, and they sent me

a cute little picture from there.

That was really sweet, and thanks for helping with that.

Phew.

I was happy to be here.

Thanks for inviting me.

[ANDY SNEEZES] Yeah, of course.

Uh-oh.

Get out, Andy.

Get out!

[LAUGHTER]

Out!

We're going to put you in a little bubble,

like a photo booth or something like that.

All right.

We'll take a break.

We'll be back.

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.

[SHOUTS]
