now so Melissa now you live here on the West Coast in your 15th wedding anniversary is coming up in December and your husband is also an actor so you're both actors when you met were you aware of his work before you before you started dating so I wasn't I wasn't when I was 13 Mariah Carey had this music video honey yes very famous very famous there was a hot guy that frolicked with her on the beach at the end of the video and I was obsessed with that hot guy at the end of the video I was 13 where he's 10 years older than me 10-ish years later I start dating this guy and he casually one time trying to impress me it was like oh and I was on this gig in Puerto Rico once it was actually a Mariah Carey video and I was like I'm sorry foreign yes excuse me and I just like went to the bathroom in my apartment and had like a silent freak out and so then I married him did you know you knew in that moment okay I have to marry this guy uh yeah yeah I think that was the wow whatever faults maybe he had I was like it's fine it's fine 13 year old you comes into it and it's like it's done yeah it's done yeah wow yeah that's amazing I know and he really does frolic in that video he dances around and he frolics yeah it picks her up yes well if we're talking to frolicky and dancing guy you you recently attended the Harry Styles concert oh yeah in New York what was your highlight of that let me tell you this and I know he's a friend of the show The Highlight I didn't know what to expect doing there I I get there I start kind of dancing in the seat and then I notice uh there's a woman dressed as a strawberry in the row in front of me and there's a little gap between us so after four vodkas I took it upon myself to dance with her for like the rest of the concert yeah last yeah I think if you ever see someone dancing the strawberry it should be your duty to going down the strawberry yeah now Melissa you have two young boys um and I hear that we've been talking about this back surgery I hear that Bill Hader gave you some advice on preparing or deciding to become a mother is that right what was what was the advice that he gave you yeah I was uh he was guestering on Brooklyn Nine-Nine and I was very newly pregnant with my first and it was a bit of a surprise pregnancy if you will um so I was still in that space of like oh my god um freaking out and uh he just turned to me and he was like cheer kids and I was like No And then he just went on like oh you should do it it's so fun it's the best adventure of your life it's and just started saying all these beautiful things about his children and being a parent and I felt like every worrywatch it was incredible and I just went home and told my husband I was like we're gonna be fine Bill Hader said we're gonna be fine yeah that's amazing it's gonna be all right and he had no idea it was so weird it was like the timing of it was so weird I literally found out like days before this happened wow yeah you know Bill Hader also was very nearly in the honey video with Mariah Carey now can we go to congratulate you on your brilliant new series the Santa Claus his friend doesn't know thank you yeah it's uh it's a an extension of the Tim Allen movies from when when we were kids um and I play Santa's Nemesis uh so I got to go to work at the North Pole every day the entire spring and it's a six-part series for Disney plus I will say one thing about this which is when you're working with elves in our case the elves were children but the script that you get says you know you're doing a scene with these 1800 year old elves so the actor brain is like cool 1800 year old elves and then you show up to work and it's just you and like 97 8 year olds who are wonderful by the way when the camera's on but when that camera is off and the big doors open and it's Los Angeles 87 degrees and they've got their creepy little pointy ears and they're they're saying things that child actors say like do you drink a matcha I don't drink coffee I drink matcha oh wow I'm just like no no no yeah I'll see you back inside when your elves correct when you were a kid was was Christmas it was Christmas a big deal for you growing up on you I think we think we talked about this before you of Christmas I grew up in a town that was predominantly Jewish I come from a secular Hindu family and uh and everybody loves Christmas it's just like the way the grandparents and parents raised us was like whether it's a faith-based tradition or a cultural tradition just celebrated it's all love and it's it's it's it's warmth and light and uh so I was really excited also just to do this show uh that my nephews can actually watch well I
