Loved the end of the interview when she gives him a Starship Enterprise

I've only even seen the little clip from Ellen's site, posted earlier, and already love it. "That's not me" "I'm not getting it". Etc. He is so freaking adorable (of course Ellen is usually pretty fun with her guests, too, from little I've seen).

Edit… ok, went to look, and of course it IS up now… yay! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gj035lbgnoQ Wow… that is a ridiculous Starship stroller!

You are right, the Enterprise stroller was cool:

Aw, the cutest. Ben is dancing behind the scenes while waiting to be called on to to the show.

I've always adored Ellen. She is so genuinely warm with her guests. And her quirky sense of humor is just my speed. Ben seemed to be relaxed and having fun.

Vhanja · January 15, 2015 1:17 pm

Oh, sorry.

It's ok Vhanja.
But I'm afraid you will have to stand in the corner for a half an hour now.

Vhanja · January 15, 2015 1:28 pm

Can I bring Ben?

But it's her first time, I guess a warning is enough for now.

Now now, time out is suppose tio be a punishment. How can you think about what you did if Ben is there to distract you?

I can think of quite a few things I could do in a corner with Ben for half an hour.

You are both so sly. You did it on purpose, didn´t you?

What do you suppose happened to it after the show? Obviously, no one could use that for a real stroller, or a real anything else. Hmmm.

eBay? Take the spaceship off and give it away/keep for further use? "Forget" it backstage? It does fit well with Ben’s outfit though

Is it just me or does he seem slightly scared of that thing?

Vhanja · January 15, 2015 2:37 pm

I learn from the best.

There, seen the show. Great fun, but he did seem a bit embarrased or shy here and there. And I wish we could've heart what they said when she gave him the stroller!

Bronte89 · January 15, 2015 4:49 pm

Thank you for the full interview.

Yes! Loved their banter. And the voices game I just grinned at when Ellen brought it up, thinking that was right up Ben's alley… someone even knew their stuff with throwing in Rickman and Jar Jar (can't believe she didn't get that one!)
