My design show on HGTV,

you Tweeted out, when you were watching the design show.

- Yes!

- And then your wife Tweeted out,

"Watching 'Ellen's Design Challenge' on HGTV.

"Scott Foley is drooling over the tools they get to use.

Nerd alert."

- No, well--Thanks, babe. - Yeah.

But so--because you love stuff like that.

- I love that stuff.

I mean, I'm a huge HGTV watcher,

between "Fixer Upper" and "House Hunters"

and the reno guy. - "Property Brothers."

- I love it. I love it all.

And the fact that you were gonna have a show on,

like, we set the DRV, and we TiVo'd it,

and we watched it live, and it is--

like, I just love that stuff.

I build furniture myself,

and, like, I don't have great tools,

because I don't have the space or I don't have the time or--

but every now and then I get to do it, and I love it.

And I thought your show was so good.

I wanna see more construction though.

- Well, you know--

- The second episode had more than the first.

- Yeah, it's brand-new, so we're learning,

and the next season we're gonna have--

we've learned all kinds of things,

but it's so fun to watch people have a challenge

and make furniture in a short amount of time,

and to see everyone's different take

on what to make out of something.

- I think it's so smart, and, you know, we love those shows.

We love "Project Runway," and we love "Top Chef."

So anytime people make things in a competition,

I think it's great. It just brings out that--

you see that artistic spirit,

and to do it with something I love,

with furniture, and, like, I love building houses,

and I spent some time with Habitat for Humanity,

and I just think it's so-- such a great thing.

- I know, I actually thought of the idea two years ago,

and I thought, I love furniture,

and why aren't we showing--

We see food competition shows, we see fashion.

- Yeah.

- But we don't see design competition with furniture,

and HGTV bought it, and it's--and I--

I said I would watch it even if it wasn't mine.

It's such a great show. - I think it's great.

Who do you think's gonna win? Do you know who's gonna win?

- Of course I know who's gonna win.

It's my show.

- But I didn't know how far ahead you were.

So it's not-- - No, we--

And we only did six, and so--

but next season we'll do more,

and we'll do different things and guest judges.

You have strong opinions.

I would love for you to be a guest judge on one of them.

- I would love to be a guest judge.

- Because I want different people's opinions on stuff.

- I would love it. I'm rooting for Tim right now.

- Yeah, everybody is. - Is that right?

- I think so. I think everybody--

- Oh, good, 'cause he won the first one

with that--the desk-- - The compass desk.

- Yeah, the George Washington desk.

And then didn't do great in the second,

but I liked his bar in the second one.

- Yeah, I did too. - I don't know.

- And then Mark, who went home the first time,

was really talented. - I thought he was really good!

- And he just made a mistake.

But anyway, it's a good show, and I'm glad--'cause I saw--

- You shouldn't have voted him off.

- I did not. I would not have voted him off,

but he did make a mistake.

And there's a bench that you built

that I was really impressed.

I think I wanna have you on the show.

- Oh, yeah?

- 'Cause you made this out of a deck?

You took a deck apart?

- So when we bought this house,

there was a wooden, like a play structure, swing set

for my kids that it was sort of rotting and falling apart,

and I took it down, but I saved the wood.

And we put up a new swing set.

But I just built this out of the old one

to sit next to them. - Wow, that's really impressive.

- See, there's the one picture my wife took that I don't love

where I'm not at a store.

Thanks, babe.

- I love the picture.

I think that it's great.

- I'm very proud of it.

- And I'm proud that you made that bench.

I have something for you,

and--'cause you're just supporting my show

and Tweeting out about my show.

So I wanna give you a project

for whenever you want to build something.

Here are some tools and some--

- Oh, no!

No, come here! Stop it!

Oh, you gotta be kidding me.

- No, I'm not kidding you. - You gotta be kidding me.

You can't give an actor on a TV show tools.

- I can. And there's your tool belt.

You have a tool belt, right?

- I'll put that on right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

- This is for Konrad.

Here, if he-- - Oh, no way!

- He's got a tool belt.

- Babe, so cute. - He's got a tool belt as well.

- So cute.

- Oh, my--Do these work? They work.

So cute. He can help me.

- Okay, and I have-- I have something else also.

Isn't that adorable though? - It is adorable.

- I should give one to all your kids.

It's not fair to just give the baby something,

'cause they'll get jealous.

- They're already jealous. They'll be all right.

- All right. - Does this look all right?

- It's fantastic. - Okay.

- All right, also you know the last challenge I gave you

to put something on the set on "Scandal"

and would give you $10,000

towards the charity of your choice?

- Yeah. - I have one more challenge.

'Cause you're always in underwear, always.

So if you can somehow put on Ellen underwear in the show,

I'll give you $10,000 to the charity of your choice.

- $10,000 to the charity of my choice

if I wear Ellen underwear.

Shonda Rhimes, we gotta find a way

to put this Ellen underwear in "Scandal."

- For sure. It's to charity, Shonda.

Come on. - Do you--

This is--There's so many pairs of underwear here.

- Well, you get to choose which one you wanna wear.

- Oh, good. - You're always in underwear.

- Well, I mean, if I could choose,

I mean, it'd be that one, right?

- All right, yeah. - But I have a feeling

this one's probably gonna have a better shot.

- No, I would rather-- Whatever you want, okay?

- Okay, okay, great. - But do it on the show,

$10,000 to the charity of your choice.

- Deal.
