What a big show we have today.

Speaking of big, Kerry Washington is here.

Why's she looking up?

Looking at up there?

We're going to play a game with her.

She doesn't know it yet.

She's backstage.

She has headphones on.

There she is, listening to something with a pretty dress

on.

Today we're playing mystery word, sponsored by Shutterfly.

Here's how it works.

While I'm talking to Kerry I'm going

to somehow try to get her to say the word gazpacho.

Shutterfly is celebrating 20 years of stories

and they've helped us change many lives on the show,

and if Kerry guesses correctly or-- she doesn't guess.

If she just says the word gazpacho,

you're all going to get a $250 Shutterfly gift card.

That you can use to get personalized gifts, all

sorts of things.

My dad already loves.

You know he's going to like lurve you.

Well, that's-- he's going to like me more than Reese

Witherspoon.

Reese and I have a competition.

I know.

I know you do.

What she does is she steals your friends from you.

But she becomes close.

You have people like that.

They become close to you and then

they find out who's close to you, and then they take them.

That sounds-- that makes it sound so strategic.

Yeah.

Oh no, it's strategic.

You think so?

Yeah.

Oh she's-- yeah she's lonely and she needs.

My dad after he met her, he was like she

is the nicest, smartest, most professional, hardworking.

And I was like, I'm your daughter.

Right, yeah.

That's what I'm saying.

Do I matter at all?

That's what I'm saying.

She's already done it to you.

Yeah.

All right.

All right, I'm going to invite your dad to the show.

He's going to--

Oh.

Yeah.

He's got it-- he'll just be stay--

I'll get him a seat.

Sit here.

Yeah, have a seat back there.

Maybe in his featured background artist outfit.

Right, yeah.

So I don't know how I've known you for as long

as I have and you haven't mentioned that you went

to school with Gwyneth Paltrow.

Gwennie.

Were you friends with Gwyneth?

No.

Growing up?

I mean she was like, you know in high school

a few years difference makes a big deal.

Yeah, yeah.

So I'm not trying to say that she's older than me,

but she's a little bit older than me.

And so she was a senior when I was in junior high school,

and so she was like, even back then she was Gwyneth Paltrow.

Really?

Oh yeah.

Was she acting then?

What would she doing?

Yeah, we actually did one play together

because she was the queen in--

of course-- in Midsummer Night's Dream,

and I was one of the fairies.

The middle schoolers were allowed

to audition for the fairies in Midsummer.

So we had one amazing show together.

Oh, wow.

Yeah.

She's a lovely person I like her a whole lot.

I do too.

they have recipes.

They have all kinds of food items on there.

What's your favorite food?

In general.

Oh is this about the game?

I don't know what game you're referring to.

All I'm interested in is what type of a food,

do you like a solid food or a liquid food?

I like-- I like solid food.

Mm-hmm.

OK so let's narrow that down.

If you couldn't have solid food, what kind of liquid food

would you have?

I like smoothies.

Smoothies.
