We had a little vacation with my boys.

-And so, how long is it -- Did you start somewhere,

or you just went right to Africa?

-Well, I started here.

I'm sorry, were you coming from a different location?

And then, you wake up.

I stayed at this place called The Giraffe Manor,

and you wake up and you're just having your breakfast,

and suddenly giraffes are poking their heads through the window.

-This is insane, 'cause this is your son Sasha, right?

-Yeah.

Yeah, that's the breakfast room. [ Audience aww's ]

-And this is how giraffes are in the wild.

They go door to door and the trick or treat.

[ Laughter ]

-Yes, like that. -They trick or treat

for their food, yeah.

I just saw this on "National Geographic."

You're staying at a great place! -Yeah.

She makes the story much nicer than it is.

-Well, she said some nice things about you.

I know you guys are all happily married

and everything now, so I don't want to say anything.

-Would've did nothing, nada, no.

-Yeah, she is officially off the market.

-Yeah, I know she is. Yeah, she's happily married.

Me too, yeah. -You should've talked to me.

I could've been your wing man at the time.

but I didn't know you were like best buds.

-Oh, yeah. No, we've been friends for

a really, really long time, like decades.

-Yeah. -Yeah.

[ Audience aww's ] Now, what was this?

You guys had a party?

-So crushed it. -She's so good.

She's great. [ Cheers and applause ]

I didn't get my invite.

-I'm so sorry! -It's no big deal.

-Well, mostly it was girls.

-I mean, I'm fine. -You're good with that?

-I love girls, yeah.

[ Laughter ]

I'd be fantastic at a party.

But what do you guys end up doing?

Do you end up, like, dancing the night away?

-Well, we start off.

And we had, like, just a elegant dinner

for 10, 12 girls,

and there was another girl who also was having her birthday

and who also was nominated for lots of Emmys...

Bruna.

And we were in a just intimate setting

and everyone knows each other well

and we trust each other.

And then next thing you know,

like, there's some music involved

and we did some dancing. [ Light laughter ]

And, yeah.

-What type of dancing does Nicole do?

I've never seen Nicole dance.

[ Laughter ]

-She's a good dancer. -She is a good dancer, right?

-She can tear it up. -Yeah, yeah.

[ Laughter ]

-Yeah, we were dancing. -Me, too.

-And Kylie Minogue, also. -Kylie Minogue?

-Yeah. -She's an old buddy of mine too.

-Is she? [ Laughter ]

She can really dance. -Known her for decades.

Oh, she's Kylie Minogue! -She's a rock star.

-Yeah, exactly. She's the best.

Well, she could get behind the piano and start playing

some jams. -Yeah.

-Well, tell those girls I said hi.

-I will. I will. [ Laughter ]

I'll say hi.

-Give 'em my best. And the next time you have

a girl party, I can stop by. -Yeah.

Well, boys were invited later on.

-I could do some stand-up and whatever.

-Yeah. You can do party tricks, yeah.

-Yeah, exactly. Come as the clown, exactly.

[ Laughter ]

-Hey, you're fantastic in this movie.

You're fantastic in every movie, but "The Glass Castle" --

This is a true story. -Yeah.

And it's a mind-blowing story, actually.

And I mean, what drew you to it? Just the book?

Did you read the book? -Yeah, the memoir.

Jeannette Walls, she has this incredible way

of telling the story.

It was seven years on

the "New York Times" Bestseller list.

-How do you explain it? It's just...

-An unconventional family life growing up.

She -- They didn't have money.

Her dad was an alcoholic, and her mom was a, you know, artist

and they were trying their best and having to move a lot

because of money and stuff like that.

So, but Jeannette, she has a powerful story

because it's a story of hope.

And she embraces herself.

She was living kind of this lie for a long time

where she didn't feel like she was her most authentic self.

And then finally, she was able to embrace who she was

and tell the story. -And everyone's great in it.

You, Woody Harrelson, Brie Larson, who we love,

was just on the show. -Yes, yes.

-It's fantastic. Go check this out.

I want to show a clip. Here's Naomi Watts

and Brie Larson in "The Glass Castle."

Take a look at this.

-So, your dad said he saw you pass by in a cab

the other night,

acted like we weren't even there.

You shouldn't be ashamed of us

just 'cause we choose a different lifestyle than you.

-Being homeless in New York City

does not count as a lifestyle choice.

-Well, if we heard from you more,

you'd know that we found a lovely place

on the Lower East Side.

-Lori says you're squatting in an abandoned building.

That does not sound safe, Mom.

-When did you lose your sense of adventure?

-I have a little bit of money now.

I can help you if you want.

-Unh-unh, unh-unh.

We're fine. You're the one who needs help.

Look at you! Your values are all confused.

Hmm.

-Ooh, my goodness.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Now...

I'm going to go to commercial, but we were talking about

dancing earlier, like that. -Yeah.

-Yeah. You don't still do that move

where you jump up and do a split and then jump back up,

do you?

-I mean, I'd have to have tequila.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Or, I could just take my shoes off.

[ Cheers and applause ]

-Please do one!

Can you do one?

Roots, can we get a beat? -Would it be appropriate?

I feel... -No, you have...

[ Music playing ]

-I'll try.

[ Cheers and applause ]

[ Music playing ]

-Whoa!

[ Cheers and applause ]

That's what I'm talking about there!

Naomi Watts! [ Cheers and applause ]

"The Glass Castle" is in theaters now!

That's fantastic!
