00:00Before we go, I wanted to take a moment to talk about someone very dear to us.
00:04Matt Wright was a producer here on the podcast this season.
00:08He was loved by all of us and by so many people he worked with throughout his career on talk
00:13shows with Ellen DeGeneres, Drew Barrymore, and Jennifer Hudson.
00:17Matt passed away unexpectedly last week, and our hearts are feeling very heavy about that.
00:23He was not only funny and very talented, but he was also incredibly kind-hearted and generous.
00:28And that's what we're going to miss the most.
00:32Hi, everybody.
00:37As I don't know if any...
00:40So Matt Wright, who was our executive producer and was featured on our show a lot, died the other day.
00:50And he was an amazing guy.
00:57He was funny.
00:58God, he made me laugh.
00:59He would surprise me with things that he did all the time.
01:04He was smart.
01:07He was kind.
01:08He was a part of our show that...
01:12I mean, everyone loved him.
01:14Everyone loved him.
01:16I loved him.
01:18And it's just shocking.
01:20It's shocking.
01:22We were working on a project to do together that we were supposed to start.
01:31We had just been...
01:35Anyway, we're going to miss him.
01:36He is and always will be the glue to our entire family at the Ellen Show.
01:46And he will...
01:50I think this is going to be a really...
01:56I don't know what I'm saying.
01:59Anyway.
02:02And to Justin, his husband, and to his family.
02:10It's...
02:11It's...
02:13I'm so sorry.
02:15Because we lost a good guy.
02:17He was a good guy.
02:18And he and Twitch were so close.
02:20So now he and Twitch are together.
02:24Dancing and laughing.
02:25Dancing and laughing.
02:27This is our wedding.
02:28Do you not imagine any of us doing?
02:32My wedding.
