Our first guest tonight is a talented actor who shared the screen with greats, ranging
from Peter Griffin to Ted the Bear.
Next, she's alongside Michael Keaton in the new movie Goodrich.
It opens in theaters Friday.
Please welcome Mila Kunis.
I'm a little bit disappointed because I know you're from New York, right, originally?
Oh, no.
No?
You're not?
We went over this before.
Wait a minute.
Let's not start this drama.
Okay.
I'm not from New York.
I thought you lived in New York when you were a kid.
I lived there in my 20s.
Oh, all right.
Well, I know where this is headed.
Yeah, because you're a Dodgers fan, and Dodgers are playing the Mets right now.
I have the game on right there.
How distracting is this?
It's not that distracting.
Yeah.
I am a multitasker.
I grew up in a very loud Italian house, so I can watch TV.
I can cook.
I can have an argument and, I don't know, file a lawsuit, all at the same time.
Yeah.
So you're a big Dodgers fan.
We did.
We went to the game.
Not the other one.
The one that wasn't great for us, but kudos to you.
The Monday game.
Yes.
The game where the Mets beat the Dodgers.
Seven-one.
And went on.
Yes.
I got you.
Yeah.
We were there.
Yes.
It was sad.
It was a sad day for us.
Yeah.
Well, sure.
It was a beautiful game, though.
But it's only, you know, it's a tied series.
It's not over yet.
Best of luck to you, kid.
Thank you.
Same to you.
I don't have this wrong, I think, because I recall you talking about you get really
loud and yell at the players on the field.
I used to.
Oh, you're not doing that anymore?
Well, I grew up.
Oh, you did?
I did.
How nice.
I don't know how many of you here have done this before.
I, in my 20s, prior to having children, wasn't aware of other people's children.
Like, it wasn't in my, like, world of, like, reference.
I would just curse and say things and do things, and I was like, they're fine.
And then I had my own kids.
And I now am very different, and I'm very polite, and I clap, and I go, whoo, but I
no longer, like, yell at the players.
Oh.
No.
I'm very, it's, a lot of, guys, I grew up.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
I'm, you know, I'm an adult.
I think that's good, and I will tell you, I took my kids to the game.
My kids are, my son's seven, and my daughter's 10 years old.
Yeah.
And.
Oh, it's the same as mine.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
You have, we have the kids the same age.
It was weird sitting there, and people are cursing and yelling at the players.
That used to be me.
And you go, you have to kind of go, like, you know, like, well, this is what goes on.
I know.
I'm sorry.
I really, I apologize retroactively to anyone who sat behind me in my 20s.
I'm really sorry.
What are the plans for Halloween with the kids?
Have they decided on their costumes, and do they change costumes every three days?
Okay, wait.
Okay.
Honest story.
So, do they change costumes?
They change costumes monthly, so I'm a person that, like, doesn't procure the costume until
much later in the season.
Good.
You know, I wait.
Yeah.
Because the idea of the next costume happens on November 1st.
They're like, okay, next year I'm going to be, and I'm like, sure, sure, no problem.
But I do have to tell you, my son's costume, it is actually really funny.
So my daughter, like, normal Amazon costume, okay, she wants to be Dorothy from the Wizard
of Oz.
Amazing, right?
Like, you go, click, buy now, sold, awesome.
Done.
My son comes to me and goes, I know what I want to be.
And I was like, cool, like, ninja, vampire, like, where are we at?
He's like, I want to be the torch holder from the opening of the Paris Olympic Games.
Stone off, the costume exists.
No.
It's not a real costume.
It's the guy that, like, ran around with the torch and, like, did parkour and things.
And I was like, wait, what?
And so then I Googled it, and I was like, maybe Etsy makes it?
Like, no.
Nobody.
I have no, I've done it, guys.
I did it.
I went, and I, thank you.
I, I mean, this is a true story.
I went and bought, I took the photo of the guy in the Olympic Games, and I put it on
my computer, and I was like, okay, I can do this.
I'm going to, I have to get a jacket that has the gold buttons and the thing, and I
started looking it all up.
It was exhausting.
Ugh.
And it's too late for, Etsy takes four to eight months for everything.
By the way, you're not wrong also.
Right?
Because I found the person that can make the costumes, and she was like, no problem, six
to eight weeks.
And I was like, I don't have that much time.
Yeah, it's too much time.
But I did it.
What a weird costume.
Did he, what was he dressed as last year?
Do you even remember?
Last year, he went as a Grim Reaper.
Like, it was a costume.
Oh, that's what my son's going as this year.
With the little red little eyes that glow.
Yeah.
Fine costume.
Buy now.
You know what I mean?
Got it on Amazon.
Easy.
This one, I had to get the torch.
I had to get the cloak thing.
I was like, oh my God, I'm like sweating bullets getting this together.
Will you trick or treat with the kids, and will you be in costume?
Always.
Yeah, yeah.
I love Halloween.
I've always loved Halloween.
Who will you go as?
Do you know yet?
This year?
Yeah.
I'm going to be as Tin Man.
Tin Man.
Okay.
Oh, all right.
And will your dog go along as a...
Oh, no, that's a really good idea.
No, it's like a stuffed dog in her like little...
Oh, she's got a, yeah, she's got a stuffed dog.
Oh, but we should bring a dog.
Yeah, why not?
So it's going to be the Tin Man, Dorothy, a little stuffed dog, and the torch carrier.
I know.
It makes no sense.
It's a good thing you don't have the scarecrow because it could be dangerous.
I know.
He's like the whole thing on fire.
I think Ashton's going as like the Yellow Brick Road.
Oh, he is?
Like follow the Yellow Brick Road.
Oh, he's always got to go fancy.
I know.
He's going as the road?
That's not an Amazon costume.
Yes, it is.
It is?
It's an Amazon costume.
You can buy the Yellow Brick Road cape.
Unbelievable.
What a time we're living in, huh?
Right, it's so good.
Not my torch little holder from the Olympic opening game.
Yes, yes.
All right, we're going to take a break.
Mila Kunis is here.
Her new movie is called Goodrich.
It opens on Tuesday and Friday.
We'll be right back.
Oh, my God.
What?
What's going on?
Oh, my God.
It's happening and I'm with you.
What?
What's happening?
It, Dad, it.
Are you sure?
Yes, I'm sure.
Okay.
The doctor last week told me that I was on track for full term, but I'm not due for
three and a half more weeks and I'm not dilated and this isn't supposed to happen with your
first baby.
Right.
Oh, my God.
Mom is in New York and Pete.
No, we're good.
Okay.
What do we do?
You got to call Pete.
You got to call Pete and you got to tell him he's got to grab the bag.
Got it.
Should we go upstairs?
No, Dad.
We have to go to the hospital.
Let's go.
Okay.
Will you call Pete?
Come on.
Where's your car?
That is Mila Kunis and Michael Keaton in Goodrich, which opens in theaters on Friday.
Yeah.
So what precedes this, what happens afterwards is Michael and I have to walk down like a
slope like this.
Okay.
And when you watch the movie, you're going to see I'm the pregnant one.
So he's supposed to be holding me up.
But Michael decided the day before to get knee surgery.
And so he shows up to say like, guys, I got knee surgery.
And I was like, what?
And so in this scene, I'm holding him up because we're walking down.
It's very funny.
If you don't know it, you wouldn't catch it.
But I think it's really funny.
By the way, I want you to know that you got two thumbs up from Henry Winkler, who has
two of the most famous thumbs in the whole world.
It's so nice.
The font.
I know.
It's nice.
Went out of his way to compliment the movie.
He was at the screening and my parents were there with me.
And it's the font.
Okay.
So let's not play it down.
Right.
Yeah.
And so my parents are sitting there going, is Henry Winkler in the movie?
And I was like, no, no, he's just, he's just here.
Why?
And I was like, I don't know that.
He just wants to enjoy the movie.
And they couldn't understand.
Why is Henry Winkler here?
Why is the font here?
And I was like, because he's just enjoying the movie.
And they watched the movie.
He goes, he wasn't in it.
And I was like, I know.
That's what I said earlier.
They didn't see Night Shift, I guess.
They don't know the long history of Henry Winkler and Michael Keaton.
Yes.
Who is, you got along with him well.
I mean, it's hard not to get along with him well.
He's a lovely person in general.
I love Michael.
I genuinely do.
I feel like he's a, like an onion of a human being with multitude of layers.
I mean, you know.
Would you say he's a caramelized onion or just a raw onion?
No, no, he's sweet.
He's caramelized.
Like, he has a good bite to him.
You know what I mean?
No, I love Keaton.
I really do.
But you did have a little, there was some jousting that went on.
So I never, I've done talk shows now for 20, 30 years.
Okay.
I've never come on to a talk show with a story ever in my life.
Never?
No, because I have a horrible memory.
And I don't remember anything that happened a year ago.
And I'm like, I don't know.
We'll just talk about whatever.
Except this one.
So in this, okay.
So when you're shooting a movie, there's trailers.
And the first person that showed up parks next to the trailer.
Okay.
So Keaton's number one on the call sheet.
Womp womp.
Okay.
So he gets to park closer to the trailer.
However, however, there were days that I got there early.
So I would park closest to the trailer.
What am I going to do?
Park to the side.
That's weird.
Right?
So I parked closest to the trailer.
I wrap the day.
I get to my car.
And I think you have.
I do.
Yeah.
Okay.
This is what he leaves on my car.
He gives a secret identity award.
It's so good.
He signs it Bruce Wayne.
Guys, it gets better.
It gets better.
Okay.
So then this continues for a while.
Right?
We're skipping this part because the producer, this story is getting really long.
Okay.
I was like, let's, let's quicken it up.
So there's a lot of banter back and forth.
Mostly on windshield.
For the next couple of days.
Like we'd leave notes for one another.
Then finally I was like, enough is enough.
And I did something and Michael recorded himself pulling up to work with what I did and this
kibosh the whole thing.
And I think you have the video.
We do have the video.
This is Michael shot the video of pulling up to work.
And this is me.
And at every single spot I put my face on it.
So I was like, too bad.
So sad.
Good luck.
So funny.
And did he obey the rules?
Yes, exactly.
I was like, where are you going to park now?
You're really stuck in a Beatles.
Well, it's great to see you.
The movie is called Good Rich.
Henry Winkler gives it two big thumbs up and opens the theaters on Friday.
Mila Kunis, everybody.
We'll be right back with the Golden Buzzer.
