I saw you at the People's Choice Awards the other night.

- Thank you. You too.

- It was fun, right? - It was so fun.

- So many good people there.

- Oh, my God.

That was a blast, yeah.

That was so much fun.

That was--we saw you there.

You guys were looking amazing.

- We saw you there, and Portia and I were like,

"What is she doing? Look at those arms."

You're-- - [laughs]

That was a heavy trophy. - It is heavy.

- I was, like, lifting, like, 25 pounds.

Look at that. I love that.

I want to frame that.

I love that picture. - Yeah.

They were taking a picture of you--

the whole cast, and I was on my way out,

so I just stopped and--

- Yeah. [laughter]

- We just ran right in front of the camera.

- That was a great photobomb. both: Yeah.

- That was awesome. - That was fun.

So you forgot to--

I understand you forgot to thank your husband.

- I forgot to thank my husband.

It didn't go-- yeah, I completely blanked.

But don't worry, I had my ex-boyfriend thank him

at the end of the night, so it worked out great for me.

- Right. - Yeah.

Johnny really swooped in for me there.

- Do people know that Johnny is your ex-boyfriend?

Johnny Galecki.

- It's funny, 'cause I-- yeah.

I think most people kind of know.

You know, we're such good--

he literally thanked my husband for me.

It was, like, the nicest thing.

- So you went up first, and then you forgot.

And then "The Big Bang Theory" won for the show,

and then he thanked your husband.

- And then Johnny said to Ryan, you know,

"Your wife didn't thank you, but I will.

You have my heart." - That's really sweet.

- That's a great ex-boyfriend.

- That is a great ex-boyfriend. - Good friend, yeah.

- And let's talk about--

I don't know why everybody made a big deal of this,

but you had surgery for a deviated septum.

- I had sinus surgery the day after Christmas,

and it has been the worst surgery of my life.

Very painful, and on top of it,

everyone, of course, thought I got a nose job.

Which is so funny because, if you know me,

I would've told you I got a nose job.

Like, I'm not gonna keep it a secret.

But I was actually really addicted to nose spray,

like Afrin.

- After or before? - Before.

Like, for years.

Like, at award shows,

I would have to pick out the right clutch

to be able to fit my Afrin in it,

and I'd be under the table like...

[snorts] snorting it.

I'm surprised there were no photos

of, "What am I snorting?"

It was Afrin.

And I couldn't get enough, and it was, like,

such a problem, and I ruined my sinus,

so I had to get it fixed,

and it was a really rough surgery.

- That's how you ruined it?

- I actually made it completely worse,

and he said I've completely-- like, I have to stop.

Like, enough.

- Because Portia found out she has a deviated septum,

and she's supposed to get the surgery,

and now that you're saying it's painful...

- It's the worst!

Oh, you should totally get it done.

But it's the worst. [laughter]

It's really a smart thing to do.

It's gonna help me. [inhales]

I'm breathing better already. It takes a few weeks.

But it was hard on my husband.

Oh, it's been like--

- Why is it hard on him?

- He's been taking care of me.

He's been amazing.

But the week of the surgery, I had a lot of medication,

so I don't remember a lot of stuff, and I told him--

I was convinced that I couldn't sleep.

I woke up-- I would wake up every morning.

"I'm so tired, babe. I can't breathe."

Like, complaining. "I can't sleep.

I'm definitely not sleeping."

So he... [laughs]

He said, "Trust me, you're sleeping."

I'm like, "I'm not sleeping. I'm so tired."

So he decided, four nights in a row,

to record me.

He said-- I'm not a snorer.

He goes, "I just want you to know you're sleeping."

I said, "I'm not sleeping."

So he took his phone out four nights in a row

and recorded my snoring.

- You brought that?

- Yeah, and I brought it in to show you

because I was truly shocked by this.

[snoring]

[laughter]

That's real. That is real.

[snoring]

[laughter]

I said, "Ryan, I'm not sleeping."

He's like-- he sent me four videos.

He's like, "This has been my week."

[laughter] Yeah.

So not only did I not thank him,

I'm snoring.

My ex thanked him.

I've been the worst wife.

It's just been just one of those things.

- That is a lot to put up with.

That's a lot of snoring.

- It's a lot of snoring.

- I was gonna ask you if you're starting a family,

but probably not.

[laughter]

I mean, that's not gonna help anything.

- That's not helping anything. - No.

- Starting a--no.

That's not--he's very-- it's not a turn-on.

- No. - It's not been sexy.

Can you believe that? - No, it's really upsetting.

- Can you believe I brought that?

- Yeah, I'm really proud of you for that.

- Thank you. - Yeah.

- I said, "Oh, this is gold for 'Ellen.'"

Right when he sent me this, I knew.

I said, "This is gonna be perfect for the show."

- Of course it is. - Yeah, I knew you'd love it.

- It was fantastic. - I know.

- That's a very brave thing-- to share that.

- Well, you know, I want you to see the real me.

[laughter] That's the true me right there.

- It's the true you. - Yep.

- And yet you clean up real good.

- Thank you. - Yeah.
