Julia Roberts Plays ‘Burning Questions’

If you've seen the show, you know our segment Burning Questions. And I thought I would do that right now. But I need to find a celebrity to do that with. And sometimes there are celebrities hanging out backstage. So I'm going to see if there's anybody right now that would be back there so I could play Burning Questions. Just get the stuff out here in case I find somebody. I don't see anyone yet. Nope, nobody yet. I don't see anyone. Has anyone seen a celebrity back here? No? Oh, here's one. Here. I found one. It's Julia Roberts. I found Julia Roberts. [MUSIC PLAYING] [APPLAUSE] Little zebras! Just hanging out backstage. What were you doing? Just hanging out in my zebra suit. Why? Are you ready to play this game? I'm not sure. Oh, it's so fun. All you have to do is be totally honest, and answer the question, and then hit this button. OK, honesty button. Don't hit it first and then answer. OK. Because that seems to be what you would naturally-- [DING] --want to do. No. No. No. [LAUGHTER] The sound effects guy just showed up. [LAUGHTER] Is that the sound it's going to make? Yes, it is. The ringing sound? Yeah. You want something different? I could make something different. No, I just was-- [DING] Oh. Oh, that's pleasant. It's very pleasant. It's gentle. It's like a little bell at a hotel desk or something. Yes. We could have done "awooga." [LAUGHTER] I was going to say that! Oh. We're the same person! We are the same person! I don't know why I wasn't in Pretty Woman. [LAUGHTER] All right. [APPLAUSE] All right. All right. OK. What was your favorite job before getting into the business? I worked at a shoe store. I enjoyed that. [AWOOGA] [LAUGHTER] They're changing it up. Who was your first celebrity crush? Oh, maybe, Jimmy McNichol. [DING] Who? Jimmy McNichol, Kristy McNichol's brother. Why am I speaking into microphone? [LAUGHTER] Oh, right. We're both known as America's Sweetheart. When are you-- Not after this. [LAUGHTER] When are you your sweetest? When being filmed. [LAUGHTER] [DING] That's a good answer! [DING] That's a good one. If you had to be stranded on an island with one of your former co-stars, who would it be? Would it be George Clooney, Brad Pitt, or Tom Hanks? And why? Hard to say. [DING] Well, they each provide unique assets to being stranded. I mean, Tom has done it. [DING] [LAUGHTER] True. And then what does Brad bring to it? Brad brings more of just an element of companionship, and optimism. George? Well, you would just laugh, and get super sunburned, and just laugh, and then die. [LAUGHTER] Where do you keep your Oscar? In the parlor. [DING] [LAUGHTER] Can you explain your-- OK, here's what's funny about that answer. Yes, can you explain your parlor? It's in a room that has a piano, in it that my daughter plays, that we call the piano room. And I thought that might sound pretentious. So I said "parlor." So you though "parlor" sounded less pretentious. [LAUGHTER] OK. Darling, are you in the parlor practicing your piano? You're so down to earth. OK. [LAUGHTER] That's Julia Roberts, everybody. We'll be right back.
