Earlier this week, I sent my friend, Melissa McCarthy,
to a nearby dry cleaners.
I was in her ear the whole time, telling her what to say and do.
Before it was over, somebody called 911.
Take a look.

So, I felt so terrible about the poor woman having
to take care of Melissa, I wanted to meet her,
so I can apologize in person.
From Milt & Edie's here in Burbank, please welcome Alexis.
Come on down.
Hi, there.
Hi.
So nice to meet you.
It's so nice to meet you.
Oh my God, I love you so much.
Oh, thanks so much.
OK.
How long had you worked at Milt & Edie's?
I started in June.
Mm-Hm.
So, almost three months, now.
Do a lot of celebrities come in there?
Yeah.
Yeah.
But when I saw Melissa McCartney,
it was like a whole different level, because that's like,
my favorite artist.
I just love her so, so much.
Oh, really?
Yeah, so it was just crazy.
You're a fan of hers, and yet, you called her Amy Schumer.
Yeah.
I was just so starstruck, I didn't even know what to say.
She was like, you know what movies I'm in?
I'm like, well, I know you're Amy Schumer.
Blah, blah, blah.
Yeah I was just like-- and she started laughing.
She was laughing like, hysterically.
And I was just like, oh my god.
This woman is crazy.
Yeah.
Right.
So, you meet somebody that you really love,
and you think, oh, she's crazy.
Yeah
Yeah.
All right.
So, when I had her, I didn't think it
through, that of course, if I tell her to fall to the ground,
that people are going to be concerned for her.
Right.
And you told someone to call 911?
Yeah I told my co-worker to call 911.
And then she did.
And then she fell.
And I was just like, oh my god.
And then I called her Amy Schumer.
I can't believe I called-- even when she fell, I was just like,
oh no, Amy.
Yeah?
You said that?
You said, oh no, Amy when she was on the ground?
Yeah.
[LAUGHTER]
Yeah.
So, the whole time, you called her Amy Schumer?
Yeah.
I don't know.
I was just so shocked.
I couldn't even--
Right.
--Think.
So what's it been like all week long, dealing with the--
and how does everybody there-- because only one other person
knew that that was happening?
Yeah.
I was just so shocked.
It honestly just changed my whole week.
Because last week, I was having a really bad week.
I just moved here from Las Vegas,
and I got really homesick.
I miss my mom a lot, and so, I was just really sad last week.
And then this happened.
So it was just-- it was just crazy.
Like this week has just been crazy.
Yeah.
I feel incredibly grateful, and thank
you so much for having me on your show.
I can't believe this is real.
Oh, you're welcome.
Well, we wanted to have you just to apologize,
but since then, I learned that you owe some money in student
loans, you're trying to save money for a car,
and you're such a good person, you were so patient with her.
You didn't get frustrated, you didn't tell someone to come
help, you didn't--
you just stayed there with her the whole time.
So I want to reward your kindness.
So Shutterfly wants to give you $20,000.
[CHEERING]
Oh my gosh.
Thank you so much.
You're a good person.
You're a good person.
