Jennifer Love Hewitt Visits 'the Late Late Show'

[admin]

Craig: My first guest tonight is a lovely and charming actress, you know her from "party of five" and the brand new hit "ghost whisperer."

>> I think your mother's trying to get a message to you.

>> I don't want any passages from her. I just want the voices to stop. You said you could help me. So do it.

>> Do you know anything about a red glove?

>> My mother's alier. I -- a lier. I don't have anything to do with her, living or dead.

Craig: Please welcome the beautiful jennifer love hewitt, everybody!

[Applause] Look at you! You look gorgeous. I know what I'm thankful for. What a lovely ensomeable you have there. Is that boots you zip up the front?

>> Yes, it is. Want to unzip them?

Craig: Yeah!

[Applause] I don't need a cheering section.

>> Go ahead.

Craig: Have you got socks on?

>> Whooo!

Craig: Is that enough?

>> I enjoyed that.

Craig: I'm going to have to see a doctor now.

>> I have my foot on your desk. My mom will kill me. Sorry about that.

Craig: I think she may be more concerned about the -- what do you do for thanksgiving?

>> I just eat a lot.

Craig: I can hardly believe that.

>> Do you cook?

>> Yes, I'm starting to learn.

Craig: I come from a country where potatoes are a staple indict.

>> Do you like them creamy or lumpy?

Craig: I'll go any way yont want to go. I don't know if I'm creeping you out, but I'm creeping you out. Listen, the "ghost whisperer" is creepy. Have you had ghosts show up on your set?

>> We had ghosts show up on your set actually.

Craig: Seriously?

>> Yes, that's right. We did a scene where we were filming like the staircase and there were these little boys who were kind of burning in an orphanage. A little depressing, it's a drama. And a woman showed off it the bottom of the stairs when we played the footage back.

>> Craig: What was she doing there?

>> Nothing, just standing there.

Craig: I am a ghost. This is my agent's telephone number.

>> She was just there. I mean I didn't see her.

Craig: Do you believe in all that stuff?

>> Yes, it's fast naturing. I think i have to -- yes, it's fascinating. I think i have to because I'm the ghost whisperer. I have to talk to them and help them with their stuff.

Craig: You're not from L.A., Are you?

>> I'm from texas.

Craig: That's a lovely state, isn't it? It's big. Is there a texan in here tonight?

>> Yeah, there are like two. There were two, they're like, yeah, whooo! , Texas!

>> Craig: Texans are very tough, aren't they? They're giant.

>> They're big and they like to eat barbecue and ride bulls and things.

Craig: You're not interested in going out and strapping yourself on a cow and just going nuts?

[Applause] Why not?

>> Oh, well when you put it that way --

Craig: What about a mechanical bull?

>> I'm accident-prone so i don'T.

Craig: How does that manifest itself in the accident-prone department? You had an accident on the set, right?

>> Yes. We were on a read-through and i decided to crawl under a table because I'm small.

Craig: Why were you crawling under the table?

>> Just a little --

Craig: I'm very accident-prone, yeah.

>> I start at 9:00 A.M. I don't know why i crawled under the table because i thought it would be faster. And I'm little so i can do those things.

Craig: Faster for what?

>> Than walking around the stable. Joe dishner. I'm supposed to say his name. He hit me in the head with a metal chair.

Craig: Do you want me to fight him?

>> Yeah, I'll bring him here.

Craig: Yeah, bring him here and I'll knock him down. Well i won't knock him down but somebody will knock him down.

>> I had a big bump on my head and -- i had a ghost on my head. They actually sent me flowers the day that it happened and they wrote on the card, "thank god, you have bangs."

Craig: Is there any bruising there?

>> No, but i have this little vain thing that's permanently there. Oh, I touched your knee, I'm sorry.

Craig: I know you did, i counted the seconds of that. You're from texas, but you feel at home in hollywood? You have been here a long time, haven't you?

>> It takes some adjusting but it's cool, sure.

Craig: How do you fill your day in this god foresaken hellhole?

>> I'm pretty boring. I'm learning to knit.

Craig: Knit?

>> This is how sad i am. I sit and i knit and i watch "the golden girls" or "benny hill."

Craig: I don't think that's bad. I'm on a 12:30 if you ever --

>> I see you too.

Craig: We'll be right back with jennifer love hewitt, everybody!

[Applause] Craig: Welcome back! Welcome back my cheeky wee monkeys, et cetera. I'm here with jennifer love hewitt.

>> That's my nickname.

Craig: Why do people call you monkey?

>> I feel like you're talking to me when you say cheeky wee monkey?

Craig: Why do they call you monkey?

>> I can do a monkey face, want to see?

Craig: Wow, you should work that into the "ghost whisperer"! I'm possessed by a monkey.

>> And people say i have the personality of a monkey. Is that a complement?

Craig: Do you enjoy bananas?

>> Yes, I do in fact.

Craig: Do you have a swing in your backyard?

>> I no, but i have back hair.

Craig: You don't have back hair!

>> No, i don'T. Look, do you see any back hair?

Craig: Yes.

>> Be nice!

Craig: What are you doing in hollywood? Are you dating? Are you seeing a young gentleman friend?

>> Why does that question always make me laugh? No, I'm just working a lot. It's hard to date.

Craig: Why? I would imagine it would be quite easy for you, quite frankly?

>> It's really not.

Craig: Why not

>> I'm always like the lil' sister or the best friend. I'm never like the hot, desired friend.

Craig: Audience?

[Applause]

>> Guys don't ask me out that often.

Craig: Again, i find that hard to believe. You must have gone out on some dates?

>> Yeah, it's been enjoyable. I haven't hated it.

Craig: What is the worst date you have ever been on?

>> Worst date i have ever been on I went out with a man who yelled at me a lot.

Craig: What did he yell at you about?

>> I like my steak basically burned, and i like it can ketchup.

Craig: You're eating the damn steak and you're paying for it.

>> That's what i think. But he yelled at me and said I was not so much fist indicated.

Craig: -- I was not sophisticated.

>> Craig: What kind of guy would do that?

>> I had a guy who gave me altoids for later when we made out and he goes like this --

Craig: That's as bad as the two finger salute.

>> Scary.

Craig: That's no good. You know what i want to talk to you about is your music career as well.

>> Yeah, sure.

Craig: Did you sell records in japan?

>> Yes.

Craig: Why are the japanese so crazy for you?

>> Because they don't understand what I'm saying. I i just don't know. Wow, that's the drinking thing again.

Craig: I'll sing some things in japanese.

>> I don't know why it does well there. But I'm glad it does well somewhere.

Craig: Do you go on tour there?

>> Yes.

Craig: In the place called the enormodom in tokyo.

>> There's a placed call enormodome. I'm going to play there next year.

Craig: I'll go out there and do standup with a scottish accent and you can come out and sing. That would be great! Thank you, jennifer love hewitt. We'll be right back.
