Tom Hanks Answers Ellen's 'Burning Questions'

I'm going to read a question and you have to answer the first thing that comes to mind. It doesn't have to be quick, but it's just the first thing that comes to mind, so it's an honest answer. And then... And then I pressed the button. Yes, for no apparent reason. OK. Alright. Which on-screen co-star were you most nervous about kissing? I'm sorry. Alcoholic beverage. A very big tongue. Yes. When people see me, they ask me to dance. What do they do when they see you? After. I'm sorry. 62 years of game shows makes me ring the bell.

Yes. They ask me to say, "Prepare for impact." Actually? Yes. How come? Yes that's fine. That is what I meant. Do you know that people have tattoos of you? The idea petrifies me. No, I haven't seen them. I have seen them and I want to show them to you. Actually? These are tattoos that people have gotten... this is you... Oh my god. --on someone's arm. Check it out. Here's another one. Man, that's dedication. Yes. I just wanted to show you that because I found out that there were people who tattooed them. Alright, that's Martha Stewart tying one of her shoes.

Not well. OK. It gets better. There is another. Well, let's look at that. There. Oh, now, now. My God. Yes, I hope they get their money back. Yes. What was your favorite job before devoting yourself to show business? I was a bellman at the Oakland Hilton hotel. Did you get any good advice on that? I made about $0.50 a time. But it wasn't so much that. It was the downfall, because I ended up carrying suitcases for some very important people. Cher-- Wow. I carried her suitcases when she...she must have many bags. Oh, Mandy. If she had paid me $0.50 per bag, I wouldn't be doing this show.

I would go. In fact, I would be living on my asteroid. I'll tell you what I did. One of my first jobs was working at a car wash, and when the car went through the wash, I was the one who would go in, take it out, clean the inside, and then hand over the key. , and I hope you have $1 or something. And especially if it was a good car, you could drive good cars. This job, I suppose, lasted about three years. Thank you. --Do you see what I did? No. I saw that I should have seen it coming.

What celebrity can you do an imitation of? Okay, I can do a Robert De Niro from Casino. "You're drunk. You're high. Look at you." That's good. That's not bad, huh? Yeah, that was pretty good. Yes. I do Colombo. Actually? Yes. Let's hear it. Forgive me, ma'am. I don't mean to bother you. First of all, I think I remember Columbo, as does our audience, and he did that... Excuse me, ma'am. I don't mean to bother you. Is that what he says? No, it's: "Forgive me, ma'am. I don't mean to bother you." Wow. Don't try to correct my...

I think it's fantastic. What's something you've tried that you'll never do again? Not following the instructions of an Instapot to the letter. I dated men. And you'll never do that again? Don't ever do it again, no. Who was the first celebrity you fell in love with? It was a Miss Nancy in Romper Room. Did you grow up with Romper Room? Wow. I knew Miss Nancy was hot when my dad stayed home before going to the office. If you can't sleep in the middle of the night, what do you do? I expect. I go back to sleep.

Are you staying in bed? Well, do you get up and do things? No, I don't, but... No, yes. --some people do. But sometimes it's like an hour or so, and you just stand there and wait. Reflect on the zeitgeist and, from time to time, turn it around. Well, that works too. Yes. You have an asteroid named after you. What else would you like to be named after you? A bridge in New Jersey. Actually? Alright. Why not? Let's do it. Because it would be like... "I'm into Tom Hanks." Yes. "I'm at Hanks. He's pretty stuck" or "Traffic is backed up on the drive to Hanks." "The Hanks is backed." That would be good.

Toy Story 4 opens, and that simply means: Is Hank backed? Yeah, you don't want that. Can we say that? I said. Oh my word. And I'm trying to make you reconsider your decision. Oh my word. Toy Story 4 opens in theaters on June 21. We'll be right back. Yes, we will do it.
