-We love you. We love you. -Oh, my God, it's mutual.
0:02
-Welcome back to the show.
0:04
Hey, since you were here,
0:05
I just want to say happy belated birthday to you,
0:07
Reese Witherspoon. -Thank you!
0:09
[ Cheers and applause ]
0:11
-A milestone. -I know, big milestone.
0:14
I turned 50. [ Audience cheers ]
0:16
-Oh, my gosh. Unbelievable. -Yeah.
0:18
-And how was the celebration?
0:19
I heard the party was amazing. -Oh, my God.
0:21
Well, there's somebody who's going to be
0:23
on your stage tonight who was there.
0:24
-Oh, really? -Yeah. You'll just have to guess.
0:26
-Okay. -But it was really fun.
0:28
And you know what the best part was?
0:30
-Yeah? -No phones.
0:31
-Ah! The best.
0:34
-I remember it was great,
0:35
but I have no real memory.
0:37
-You have no proof. You have no proof.
0:39
-Proof or photos, yeah. -Oh, you crushed it, though.
0:41
I heard it was great.
0:43
Speaking of milestones, your son just graduated from NYU.
0:46
That's amazing. Deacon.
0:47
[ Cheers and applause ]
0:50
-I'm so proud of him.
0:52
-I mean, that's crazy that he's graduated college.
0:54
I love that. And you posted this and you said
0:57
not only did he graduate,
0:58
but also that the honorary speaker that night
1:01
was the great Laura Dern. -I know.
1:02
-Who's your bud. -How about my best friend
1:04
was the commencement speaker? -What a day.
1:06
-It was a lot of tears. -Yeah.
1:08
-Happy tears. -You got to be so proud.
1:10
-Oh, I'm so proud.
1:11
-You've had such a crazy year.
1:13
Congratulations. You had the number-one book.
1:14
Your book that you came out with.
1:16
Remember you were talking about last time.
1:18
-I came here and talked about it, yeah.
1:19
I wrote a book. -Come on.
1:21
You crushed it. Number one. [ Cheers and applause ]
1:22
Number-one bestseller.
1:24
-Yes. -"Gone Before Goodbye."
1:26
-I know, and now it's out on paperback,
1:27
so it's perfect for summer reading.
1:29
-Ooh!
1:31
-If you want to read it by the pool or something.
1:33
-What's happening with season 5 of "Morning Show"?
1:36
-Season 5 of "The Morning Show" is currently filming.
1:38
We are -- I think Jennifer and I are on seas--
1:41
like episode 8 right now and lots of things are happening.
1:46
-Uh-oh, no, no, no. Bradley, no. -I know.
1:49
-And new people are joining the cast?
1:51
-New people. Yeah. Who do we have?
1:53
We have Reneé Rapp, who's so fun.
1:55
[ Cheers and applause ] She's amazing.
1:58
And we just -- we have Jeff Daniels and Sean Hayes.
2:04
-Sean Hayes? Oh, stop. [ Cheers and applause ]
2:06
-It's so good. It's really fun.
2:08
-And then I always ask you about "Big Little Lies."
2:10
-Yes. -Every time you come on, you tell me nothing.
2:12
[ Laughter ] But is it happening?
2:14
Can we say that there is a new? No.
2:16
-It is, uh... -Oh, my gosh.
2:19
-I don't -- I -- -I know, but --
2:21
-It is in process for sure.
2:23
-This one I feel like you're telling the truth.
2:25
-I am telling the truth.
2:26
There's a new book that comes out in September.
2:27
-Okay. -And so you'll see where
2:29
we're at and we are making the TV show based on that book.
2:32
So in September, I think it's called...
2:36
I don't want to say the wrong thing.
2:37
-I don't want to mess it up. -"Big Little Truths"?
2:39
-Oh! -"One Giant Lie"?
2:41
-Wow. These are all great titles.
2:44
-"Giant Big Lies"?
2:45
-Yeah, these are all great titles.
2:47
-They're really good. -Yeah. They're good. Yeah.
2:48
But let's talk about your new series, "Elle."
2:50
-Yes. "Elle." -Congratulations, by the way.
2:53
[ Cheers and applause ] -Thank you.
2:54
-I love that you did this. -I know.
2:55
-This is based on your iconic character Elle Woods,
2:58
from your hit movie "Legally Blonde," which is celebrating --
3:01
[ Cheers and applause ]
3:03
Everyone loves it. -25 years. 25 years.
3:05
-It's celebrating its 25th anniversary.
3:07
Can you believe that? -No.
3:09
I don't know where 25 years went.
3:10
-That's wild. -Because every day,
3:12
probably like twice a week,
3:14
somebody comes up to me and says, "That's my favorite movie.
3:16
I went to law school because of you."
3:18
-No way. -Or, you know, I go to Starbucks
3:20
and I order a coffee and they're like, "What, like it's hard?"
3:23
[ Laughter ]
3:25
Or whatever. -It's so fun.
3:27
-So it's really great. It's an iconic character.
3:29
It's really -- It's a feminist character.
3:31
She's so optimistic and, you know,
3:34
her whole life is about -- she thinks it's about this guy
3:36
and following him to college but it's really --
3:38
it's a story of being an underdog and a fish
3:40
out of water in a place where she doesn't feel welcome.
3:44
And I think everybody has that feeling at one point
3:46
in their lives, you know? -Yeah.
3:48
-So I just thought, why not start
3:50
and make her a character for young women nowadays?
3:54
I just -- I looked at, you know,
3:56
what's going on with young girls.
3:57
And I just think they need a better role model.
3:59
So it was time to bring Elle Woods back.
4:01
-Let's go. Come on. [ Cheers and applause ]
4:03
I love that. -Yeah. Yeah.
4:05
-I think that's great. -It's really fun too
4:07
because it's all like '90s nostalgia.
4:09
-Well, the premise is really funny.
4:11
It's great. -It is really funny.
4:12
So Elle Woods lives in Bel Air, as everybody kind of knows.
4:16
But her father is a plastic surgeon
4:18
and he has a botched surgery, so he gets kind of run out of L.A.
4:22
and he moves to Seattle.
4:23
And so Elle Woods -- -To hide out.
4:25
-Right. And this is during '90s grunge.
4:28
Think like Pearl Jam and Nirvana.
4:30
And she walks through this like bright pink light
4:33
and everybody's like, "Ew."
4:35
-Yeah. Perfect. -Ew, yeah.
4:37
-I love it. And Lexi Minetree... -Yes.
4:39
-Plays Elle. How did you find her?
4:41
She was on the show last week.
4:42
-I know. Thank you for having her on the show.
4:44
She's just such a -- -She's fantastic.
4:46
-She's such a bright light, and she --
4:47
-She's very you. -I know.
4:49
-Yeah. -It was spooky, you guys.
4:51
We watched 3,000 videos of girls trying out
4:54
to be Elle Woods, and when I saw her video,
4:57
it was like lightning strike.
4:59
She had my voice down. She had the mannerisms.
5:02
She held her body a certain way. She had a --
5:04
There's a part of this movie where I have like a little lisp,
5:06
and she had the lisp, but I was like, "Oh, my God."
5:08
-Down to the last detail. -She also did --
5:11
She re-enacted the Harvard admissions video in her backyard
5:15
And I was like... -She went for it.
5:17
-It was that extra 10% that made her.
5:20
-She told me she watched the -- After getting the job,
5:22
she watched it another 150 times
5:24
and she did an amazing Jennifer Coolidge impression.
5:26
If you haven't seen it, go on YouTube. -Did she?
5:28
-Oh, it's amazing. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
5:29
-It's amazing.
5:31
-By the way, she came on in this beautiful dress.
5:33
And it turns out it's the dress
5:35
that you wore to the premiere of "Legally Blonde" 25 years ago.
5:39
-That's right. -It was genius.
5:41
How did you think of this idea?
5:43
-Well, actually, her stylist is a friend of mine
5:45
for so many years.
5:47
And she said to me,
5:49
"Do you have any dresses from the time period?"
5:50
And I have all the wardrobe in storage.
5:54
So I sent her as many dresses as they wanted.
5:58
And I said, "Choose any dresses that you want for her."
6:00
And she put it on and it fit perfectly.
6:03
-I mean, it's so perfect. -It's like Cinderella's slipper.
6:05
-Yes, it is. She's meant to be Elle.
6:07
-She was meant to be Elle Woods! -She was meant to be Elle Woods.
6:10
I want to show a clip.
6:12
Here's a scene from "Elle" season 1.
6:14
Take a look.
6:15
-Is he mine? -He's yours.
6:17
[ Both shrieking ]
6:18
I know! -He's so cute.
6:23
Aww! Wait.
6:24
[ Dog yips ]
6:26
Did you adopt or did you shop?
6:30
-The Spellings just redecorated,
6:32
and earth tones don't match their new color palette.
6:34
So I rescued this little blondie from them.
6:39
-Aww! My God, you are just a baby.
6:44
Oh, I bet you're a Gemini like me.
6:46
[ Dog barks ] Oh, and such a tough guy.
6:49
Oh, you need a tough-guy name.
6:53
I know. Bruiser.
6:58
-Oh, Bruiser!
7:00
[ Cheers and applause ] Bruiser!
7:02
-Could baby Bruiser be the new baby Yoda?
7:06
-Yes! This is just like "The Mandalorian" and Grogu.
7:09
-It is. It's the origin story of Bruiser.
7:12
-Oh, my God. Reese Witherspoon, everybody.
7:14
"Elle" season 1 premieres on Prime Video July 1st.
