WE THOUGHT WE MIGHT CALL YOUR PITCH LINE AND PITCH SOME IDEAS

AND SEE HOW THEY GO DOWN WITH -- JESSICA: CUSTOMER SERVICE.

IT'S NOT REALLY A PITCH LINE. BEN: DO YOU HAVE AN OLDER PHONE

WE COULD USE OR THAT ONE'S FINE?

DO YOU HAVE ONE THAT'S LIKE?

JAMES: THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST MODERN THINGS IN CBS TELEVISION

CITY JUST SO YOU KNOW.

JESSICA: EXCUSE A -- BEN: OF COURSE, OF COURSE.

[DIALING] BEN: THIS IS VERY EXCITING.

HOW DO YOU HOLD THIS PART UP? JESSICA: I WONDER WHO'S GOING TO

ANSWER. BEN: WHAT IF IT WAS YOU.

>> THANK YOU FOR CALLING HONEST BEAUTY, THIS IS HANNAH.

HOW'S IT GOING? JAMES: THANKS.

HOW ARE YOU?

>> VERY WELL. JAMES: I'M WONDERING COULD YOU

SPEAK TO JESSICA ALBA.

I DO NOT BELIEVE SHE'S AVAILABLE AT THE MOMENT.

JAMES: WELL, I'M WITH MY FRIEND BEN.

BEN: IS IT HANNAH?

>> MY NAME IS HANNAH. BEN: NOW THAT YOU KNOW I'M HERE

YOU CAN CONNECT US TO JESSICA ALBA.

>> IS SHE EXPECTING YOUR CALL.

JAMES: I DON'T KNOW IF SHE'S EXPECTING IT.

BUT THIS IS SOME STUFF THAT SHE'LL WANT TO HEAR.

CAN WE TELL YOU ABOUT SOME IDEAS THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON.

BEN: THIS IS FANTASTIC. JAMES: THE FIRST IDEA THAT WE'VE

GOT WHICH WE REALLY THINK IS A NO-BRAINER REALLY IS ALBA

ZELZER. BEN: VERY SMART, JAMES.

JAMES: SO IF YOU'VE GOT AN UPSET TUMMY AND WE'VE GOT A PICTURE OF

JESSICA ALBA ON THE FRONT.

WE'VE GOT A PHRASE SAYING IT'S JESSICA ALBA.

BEN: HOW DOES THAT SOUND? >> INTERESTING.

JAMES: WHAT ABOUT THIS? THE WORLD'S FIRST REUSABLE

ORGANIC CONDOMS?

>> THAT IS QUITE THE IDEA.

BEN: THINK ABOUT IT BECAUSE I'M ASSUMING EVERYBODY'S LIKE ME,

THEY TURN IT INSIDE OUT AND USE IT AGAIN.

SO I FEEL LIKE NOW IS LIKE A GOOD TIME FOR PEOPLE TO KNOW

IT'S LIKE A GOOD TIME.

JESSICA: NO.

JAMES: ORGANIC COTTON CONDOMS.

BEN: TWO, THREE.

JAMES: AND REUSABLE.

HOW DO YOU FEEL WHEN YOU'RE PERCOLATING THAT IDEA.

BEN: YOU CAN BE HONEST. >> THE ORGANIC AND THE COTTON

SOUNDS GREAT. THE REUSABLE PART MAYBE NOT --

BEN: SOUNDS EVEN BETTER.

JAMES: ARE YOU GOING TO BRANCH INTO MEN'S PRODUCTS?

>> EVEN CHULELY, YES, OF COURSE.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE REACHING OUT TO EVERYONE.

JAMES: THE NEXT ONE IS THE ASS STASH.

YOU KNOW WHEN YOU'RE A BIT SWEATY AND THAT SWEATT'S GOT TO

TRAVEL SOMEWHERE, RIGHT?

IT'S A MUSTACHE ABOVE YOUR ASS. BEN: AND BY THE WAY, AGAIN, IF

SOMEONE HAS A TRAMP STAMP OF GOOGLY EYES THEY CAN SHUFFLE

AROUND. IT ALWAYS LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE

THINKING ABOUT SOMETHING. I NEED YOU TO THINK ABOUT IT

BEFORE YOU SAY NO.

>> I'M DEFINITELY TAKING ALL OF THESE DOWN.

BEN: COULD YOU READ BACK THE FIRST ONE IF YOU REALLY ARE

WRITING THEM DOWN?

JUST BECAUSE I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT JESSICA GETS IT BECAUSE I'M

A HUGE ALBA-MANIAC. WHAT WAS THE FIRST ONE, HANNAH?

>> THE FIRST ONE -- LET ME LOOK AT MY LIST HERE.

THE MUSTACHE ONE. BEN: HANNAH, THAT WAS NUMBER

THREE!

HANNAH, AND I DON'T WANT TO YELL, BUT THESE ARE REAL THINGS

THAT MEAN SOMETHING TO US.

IF YOU COULD JUST SAY THE FIRST ONE.

>> I AM HAPPY TO TELL YOU THAT ALL OF OUR CALLS ARE RECORDED.

WE CAN JUST SEND THIS CALL OVER TO JESSICA.

BEN: FANTASTIC. IF YOU CAN GIVE ME HER E-MAIL, I

WILL E-MAIL THEM ALONG. >> THIS IS MY LAST CALL OF THE

DAY -- JAMES: IT'S NOT THE LAST.

IT'S THE BEST CALL OF THE DAY.

WELL, DO YOU KNOW WHAT, HANNAH, AS THIS IS YOUR LAST CALL OF THE

DAY, LET ME TELL YOU YOU ARE -- I THINK WE CAN BE AN AN

INCREDIBLE EMPLOYEE.

I'M JAMES CORDEN. I'M WITH BEN SCHWARTZ AND WE ARE

WITH JESSICA ALBA RIGHT NOW.

JESSICA: HI, HANNAH.

WE DIDN'T EVEN GET TO THE FROOT LOOP TAMPONS.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, HANNAH ON THE PHONE!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

BEN: THANK YOU, HANNAH!
