[English]

-I have to say something. I think I owe --

I feel like I owe you an apology.

-You do.

-'Cause you've never actually been on our show.

-No. [ Laughter ]

-And it's not because we didn't invite you or anything,

but just what happens is --

-It's worse.

-It's almost worse.

-It's worse.

You invite me, and then you bump me.

-We bump you from the show because --

-For more important people.

[ Audience "Awws" ]

Yeah. Multiple times.

The first time, I was very excited to talk to you,

because I've known you for a long time.

And then Michael Jordan...

[ Laughter ]

He's a big "Friends" fan.

[ Laughter ]

'Cause I also -- I was making an appearance.

And I noticed, and I said, "Oh, my gosh, Michael,

would you come on -- Do you mind?

Here's a picture of Michael Jordan on the show.

and who walks in but the man himself, Harry Styles.

[ Laughter, cheers ]

And I said to myself -- Yeah.

-Yeah, I know.

[ Laughter ]

-So, I'm sorry. So we had to bump you for that.

There's Harry. Harry came on.

And that was --

[ Laughter and applause ]

I remember this interview because --

Can you zoom in a little bit there?

I remember Harry was telling me how he does his hair,

how he styles his hair.

And what he told me was that he uses two blow dryers,

aimed one this way and one aimed that way,

and that's how he -- that's how he does his hair.

It was a magical, magical interview.

-He's a magical person.

They're all shopping down there.

-It's a very popular store. -I know.

-And, yeah, that --

-And then a fake -- There was a sticker.

-A sticker of cleavage, yeah.

-Yeah. [ Laughter ]

'Cause they're like, "Kristen doesn't have that.

We have to put in the sticker."

-But then, of course, Super Bowl champ Peyton Manning

was on our show, dressed --

[ Cheers and applause ]

his Denver -- his Bro-- his uniform.

-I've never looked more small and weak.

-You look like a little boy came out, yeah.

That was actually a fun one 'cause --

-That was --

When you told people Peyton Manning was coming out...

-Yeah.

-...the amount of applause... -Yeah.

-And then, when they saw me, it was...

[ Laughter ]

Half of the people just stopped, I think, just, like, mid-clap.

-"This is such a bummer," yeah.

-Yeah, they were like, "This is such a bummer."

-They really were. They really were so excited.

-Thank you for always doing that fun stuff.

-But now I'm here.

-I have a question.

We had a question from your co-star, Steve Carell.

Key Grammar Structures

• I think I owe -- I feel like I owe you an apology.

  ➔ Subjunctive mood (implied) + Infinitive of purpose

  ➔ The phrase 'I think I owe' expresses a subjective feeling or belief, leaning towards the subjunctive. 'To owe' functions as an infinitive of purpose, explaining *why* the speaker feels they need to apologize. The repetition emphasizes the feeling of obligation.

• You do.

  ➔ Ellipsis + Tag Question (implied)

  ➔ This is a very concise response. 'You do' is an elliptical form of 'You do owe an apology'. It implies agreement and confirmation. It also functions as a short tag question, seeking confirmation.

• And then you were gonna come on again, and who walks in but the man himself, Harry Styles.

  ➔ Cleft Sentence + Inversion

  ➔ The phrase 'who walks in but...' is an example of inversion used for dramatic effect. It emphasizes *who* entered the room. The 'but' introduces an unexpected element. The entire sentence uses a cleft construction ('And then you were gonna...') to highlight the sequence of events.

• It's worse. It's almost worse.

  ➔ Comparative Adjective + Superlative (implied)

  ➔ The repetition of 'It's worse' with the addition of 'almost' intensifies the feeling of negativity. 'Almost worse' implies that the situation is approaching a peak of badness, even exceeding the initial 'worse'.
