How did Ellen Pompeo end up on Call Her Daddy?
What is up, Daddy Gang? It is your founding father, Alex Cooper, with Call Her Daddy. Ellen Pompeo, welcome to Call Her Daddy. Thank you so much for having me. I was just saying this to someone before you got here. I have interviewed so many people my career now. Hands down, I have never gotten starstruck. I'm a little starstruck right now. I am a huge fan. Huge.
Thank you so much. I'm a fan of yours too. Thank you.
Your daughter is here today. She is. She is in the daddy gang. You have to just like lightly tell the story of how this came to be because I am, I love her right now. I'm like, you are an OG. Thank you for getting your mom on the show right now. Tell us everything.
Okay, so I was driving and sometimes, you know, she's in the car and I'll have her look at my messages when they come through because I can't look when I'm driving. So she says, oh, you got an email from Lead, my publicist, and mom, mom, you got invited on Call Her Daddy. And I was like, I did? And she said, yeah.
I said, well, I can't do that because the daddy gang doesn't know who I am because I'm like 105. And... And so she was like, mom, are you kidding me right now? First of all, Alex follows you on Instagram, mom. She's a fan. She watches Grey's Anatomy. She loves you. You're doing this. And of course, like every mother with a 15-year-old, whatever they say, I do. So I was like, oh, really?
She follows me? That's so cool. I'm cool. I felt so cool. So I was like, let's do it. Let's do it. And she was like, I'm responding to your publicist and I'm letting them know. And so she did. And then they said, Stella, you're hired.
And Stella walks in here and her confidence, she literally just said to me right before she's like, I responded to the publicist. I told her we're doing it. I'm like, you are such a mini of your mom. That is like she's her energy was amazing. I'm so grateful to her. I'm so happy we're here. OK, are you a strict parent or like what's the vibe? Are they sneaking out? Are they not sneaking out?
How's it going? They are not sneaking out.
I will break their fingers. I am very strict. I'm super intense. I'm a Scorpio. How would you describe yourself in three words? I think bossy, empathetic, and passionate.
