Comedy Talk: Minnie Driver Celebrates St. Paddy’s Day with Ellen
March 18, 2008 by Chandra
Oscar, Emmy, and Golden Globe nominee Minnie Driver stopped by Ellen DeGeneres‘ show on Monday morning, a fitting time since the English star of The Riches is part Irish and yesterday was St. Patrick’s Day.
Of course, the actress’ recently confirmed pregnancy was a major topic of discussion, along with her black Labrador Buddy, which apparently isn’t too thrilled at the moment about her expanding belly.
The interview actually fit into one commercial-free segment. But, Driver, who freely admits she spends a lot of time upchucking these days, was nice enough to stick around for a game-show type feature afterwards.
Two audience members went head-to-head in a holiday-inspired, charades-style game called Off the Top o’ Me Head, and one won a TiVo while the other received — wait for it — a six-day trip to Dublin, Ireland.
Wow! How about that?! And just like all talk-show audience members, all she paid to get in for the show was nothing. Lucky lady…
Anyway, I’ve included clips of both segments after the jump.
The Riches airs Tuesdays on FX at 10pm EST.
