I want to say thank you to all the men and women who serve.

Thank you so much.

Since Veterans Day is on a Monday,

schools are closed for the whole week.

That's not true, but I used to tell my mother that.

[LAUGHTER]

But since kids are home from school today,

I want to help them learn something.

One of my mottoes is "Never stop learning."

And that's why I always try to teach my staff something

new every single day.

The other day during rehearsal, I

was giving them a history lesson about Hollywood.

They didn't seem to know the story.

I was so happy that I could tell them.

[LAUGHTER]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

You want to see what you're going

to be dancing with tomorrow?

Yes.

All right.

An umbrella, which is a prop that a lot of--

it's easy.

It's like-- I think Fred Astaire really made this famous.

Gene Kelly.

First, it was Fred.

[LAUGHING]

It wasn't in a movie, Mary.

It was something he did.

It was raining one afternoon in Hollywood.

[LAUGHING]

Fred and Gene were walking down the street.

[LAUGHTER]

They were sharing an umbrella.

Fred did this dance with it.

Gene said, I'm going to do that in a movie.

Do you mind if I steal it?

Fred said, fine.

(CHUCKLING) That's how it happened.

[LAUGHTER]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[CHEERS, APPLAUSE]

True story.

You're welcome.

We'll be right back.
