  • A few weeks ago, John Legend was my guest host on my show.

  • And he has a pretty decent singing voice.

  • So I asked him to serenade someone in the audience,

  • and here's what happened.

  • I want to serenade you, so get over here.

  • Ahh!

  • (SINGING) You're a retired claims supervisor here

  • with your husband, Ron.

  • Oh, and if neither one of us was married,

  • ooh, we could get it on.

  • [CHEERING]

  • (SINGING) And oh, McNesheye everybody.

  • That made me happy, so I brought them back.

  • McNesheye, Ron, come on down.

  • [MUSIC PLAYING]

  • [CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]

  • Hi.

  • [SQUEALS]

  • Nice to meet you.

  • How's it going?

  • Nice to meet you too, Ron.

  • McNesheye you didn't even say goodbye to your husband.

  • You ran down, and then during the song,

  • you just said goodbye to him.

  • Yeah.

  • Hashtag bye Ron

  • [LAUGHING]

  • Yuh-huh.

  • Yeah.

  • How did that feel?

  • She just left you.

  • Well, knowing that she loves you,

  • and she's excited every time she sees you on TV, and to see

  • and be serenaded by the sexiest man alive--

  • That's right.

  • --I was very happy for her.

  • Aww.

  • It was a good feeling.

  • Isn't that generous of you?

  • [LAUGHING]

  • She deserved it, so I felt good for her.

  • That's so sweet.

  • Y'all are such a cute couple.

  • You've been married for how long?

  • We've been 40 years.

  • We dated for much longer than that.

  • Right.

  • So you went to--

  • [APPLAUSE]

  • 40 years.

  • But you went to elementary school together.

  • Yes we did.

  • But he's three years older than I am,

  • so I didn't really know him.

  • Do it again.

  • I didn't really know him.

  • So he says-- his story is he saw the cute little girl

  • with the skinny legs and the long hair.

  • And he said, I'm going to marry her one day.

  • And he has been saying this for 55 years.

  • And believe me, this is my girl.

  • [LAUGHING]

  • That's amazing you knew that.

  • I mean, you knew that in elementary school.

  • I saw those legs, and I said, I got to have her.

  • My legs were this big, Ellen.

  • [LAUGHING]

  • You got to have those legs.

  • All right.

  • So I actually know a lot about you

  • because after you were serenaded by John,

  • my producers talked to you.

  • And I found out that you've been married 40 years,

  • but you didn't go on a honeymoon.

  • No, we couldn't afford a honeymoon back then.

  • So after we got married, we just--

  • we were kind of poor, so we went to McDonald's.

  • Right.

  • OK.

  • [LAUGHING]

  • Was that a big treat for you, McDonald's?

  • Well, to me it was.

  • Yeah.

  • All right.

  • OK.

  • It was a happy meal.

  • All right.

  • [LAUGHING AND APPLAUSE]

  • That's probably where they got that from.

  • So you finally took a vacation.

  • You went to Hawaii for like three days, right?

  • Yes.

  • Like three years ago, four years ago?

  • Yes we did.

  • Right.

  • Then, I was a little bit afraid, so I wore my life jacket

  • the entire time I was on the plane-- the five hour flight.

  • [LAUGHING]

  • Five hours going, five hours coming back.

  • He thought I was insane.

  • Well, so do I.

  • [LAUGHING]

  • I was wondering what was wrong with her.

  • I mean, don't you think a plane has things like that?

  • Yeah.

  • But once it's going down, you have

  • time to get that thing from underneath and put it on you

  • and release this.

  • I had my hand on mine.

  • I was ready in case that plane went down.

  • She thought Shamu and company was going to get her.

  • Right.

  • Oh my God.

  • You wore the life vest on the plane.

  • All right.

  • Well, I got you-- in case you fly again--

  • I got you a gift because--

  • OK.

  • [LAUGHING]

  • [CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]

  • I love that.

  • All of me loves all of you.

  • Oh my gosh!

  • Oh, that's so wonderful.

  • All right.

  • That's the best gift ever.

  • Yeah.

  • Thank you so much.

  • Thank you.

  • You can wear it, whether you're in a plane or not.

  • Whenever you want.

  • I'll wear this to the grocery store.

  • Yeah.

  • All right.

  • [LAUGHING]

  • Do you know why I gave it to you?

  • You know why you need that?

  • It's because I think you should go on the dream vacation

  • wherever you want.

  • So Shutterfly is going to give you $25,000.

  • Oh my God!

  • [SQUEALING]

  • [CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]

  • What?

  • Wow!

  • Oh my God!

  • Oh my God!

  • Ooh!

  • We'll be right back.
