We're back with my friend
who I love so much, Dame Emma Thompson. And the movie really is-- it's so great because Mindy
Kaling wrote it, right? Yeah. And stars in it and produces
it and she chose you. She specifically
wrote it for you. Yeah, she did. And I've never been so
honored and privileged. She's so fantastic. It's so sharp and bright
and witty and political without it being
pious or hitting you over the head with anything. Yeah. It's one of the best
scripts I've read in years. So go Mindy. Did it-- yeah. Go Mindy. Did it make you want
to be a talk show host? No. OK. I'm fine. You don't want to do it? No. No. OK. But you were good at it. [LAUGHS] I know. I really did enjoy it. Yeah. But I know that I wouldn't
be able to be nice to people that I didn't think
were very good. And I think that's
probably vital, isn't it? Yes, it is very-- you try not to have those
people on so you don't have to pretend that they're nice. No. So I've gotten to the
point where I just have nice people on. That's really nice. That's good. I try to anyway. Well, and also people who
could be anyone, like me. Yeah. Any of the Emma's. Stop it. Sorry. Making me feel so bad. You know how much I love you. [LAUGHS] I know, I know. So it is time to play
Ellen's Burning Questions. OK. And what's going to happen is
I am going to read a question, and you have to answer
with the first thing that comes to your mind. And then you'll hit that
buzzer for no apparent reason. OK. All right. What is something you thought
you would have already done by the time you turned 60? [STAMMERING] Tango. [DING] Is that true? No. No, it's not. It's just a thing that
came into my head. OK. And I have just been
instructed by you. I know it's been a
hard day for you. It was a hard night, really. And the opium is difficult to
shake off at our age, anyway. Obviously, earlier, it was fine. But now, I feel like
I've just got to say whatever comes into my head. Otherwise, it's all
going to go [BLEEP] up. All right. But here's the thing. It should be a real answer. OK. It's a real-- OK. OK. What you thought you
would have done by 60. Do you want to ask it again? What I thought I would have
done by 60 that I wanted to do? Never mind. [DING] OK. All right. This is the-- all right. It's hard. That's a hard question. Really? Yeah, it kind of is. What is something that you
hate that everyone loves? Something I hate
that everyone loves. Oh, god. What? Guys, come on. OK, cupcakes. [DING] You hate cupcakes? I just hate them. I really do. Really? Yeah. What's wrong with cupcakes? They're just a bunch of sugar
on top of a bunch of sugar. And once you've eaten one,
you regret it immediately. You do you like
cake of any sort? I'm not mad about cake. Well, it's the same thing,
but in a tiny container. All right. Then would you prefer
the answer cake? No, you like cake. Rather than cupcake? No, you said-- I mean, I'm all right with cake. I'm not mad about it. I don't hate it. Do you want me to find
something I really-- That was the question. Yeah, but look. OK. I'm just going to seriously
pick you up on this. Something that I hate
that everyone else loves? Exactly. Well, what on earth? Emma Stone. No. That's just a momentary thing. Something that I hate
that everyone loves. I love Emma Stone. Help me. I'll give you my answer. Go on. My answer is cotton balls. [DING] I hate cotton balls, and I don't
know how anyone can like them. OK. The feel of them is horrible. Do they make your teeth grind? Yeah, I hate them. I hate everything about it. Listen. Ask me another burning question. OK. Let's go to another one. Name someone you'd like
to do a love scene with. Come on. That can't be hard. Prince William. Oh, wait, no. He's not an actor. He's not an actor. It doesn't matter. You could do a love scene
with him if you're-- Zero Mostel. He's dead. Gene Wilder. He's also dead, unfortunately. Lots of people who are dead. Do you want a real
person who's alive? Uh-huh. This is such a good game. It usually is with
everyone else we've played. OK. So this is something I hate
that everyone else loves. This game. [DING] Ha! Ha! It's a hard game. [DINGING] What's that? All right. That's kind of how you
play Burning Questions. Would you like to see your loo? Yeah. Yeah, you should go
and visit your loo. Flush myself down it? No. Yes. No. Well, you should
go see your loo. All right. Get up and somebody
will take you. Oh. Hello. [LAUGHS] Ah. All right. Have you ever done a love scene? Late Night will be
in theaters June 7. We'll be back.
