Melissa McCarthy shares a letter she wrote to herself in her 30s filled with timeless life advice, including "go all in, you'll never get today back." Melissa and Kelly both talk about wanting to quit early in their careers, trying to live life without regrets, and standing up for yourself without tearing other people down. Melissa also reveals her most memorable walk of shame moment from college, and reacts to a home video of her sobbing after watching "Million Dollar Baby" for the first time.

This is EXACTLY what I needed to hear. DONT ignore red flags, don't ignore that voice deep down inside of you telling you something isn't right or ok. Stick up for yourself.... in a kind way. But take care of you, because frankly, no one else is going to.
I agree
Omg me too and there are so many BIG RED FLAGS
@@deecarter4658 And I am the queen of ignoring them or rationalizing things. I have sold myself short for so many years but I am FINALLY, at 45, learning to draw boundaries and STICK to them.
I think most people have a memory of a situation where they ignored red flags or simply didn't trust their gut when things didn't seem right. While we may have forgotten the specific red flag we easily remember the price we paid for not paying attention. Playing the "if only I had..." game is no fun at all but learning to advocate for yourself, and doing so, can be a significant challenge especially when you've been taught to agree, comply and accept what others put upon you. Fear of being reprimanded, criticized or perhaps losing an opportunity often keep us from standing up for ourselves. Unfortunately by not doing so we may be accepting by default discomfort, disrespect and even abuse. This is why it is so important to teach children to express themselves as autonomous individuals so they can develop the skills necessary to confidently represent their thoughts, ideas and feelings in personal and professional environments. Making yourself the most important priority is not selfish, it is an act of self preservation, self care and self love. When you take good care of yourself you are better able to take care of others in all aspects of your life.
That intuition within ourselves knows what it right and wrong for us. Always listen to it. 9X out of 10 it’s the right path for you.
Thankyou ladies for sticking it out. The entertainment industry is better because you two are in it!
Cool comment and i agree
Exactly.Life with suck without Kelly's songs lol
I wish Kelly would do a soundtrack for Melissa's movies😃❤
Ndeed 💙
@@olgasmoviehouse that would be awsome! LOL...I would love for any sound track from Queen Kelly !
Is this a moment where I cry-laugh because my favorite actress and my favorite singer bond over standing up for themselves? It most definitely is
Both are amazing. Love them
Samesies
Melissa McCarthy is such a beautiful lady & has a heart of gold. I could've watched these two ladies for hours. Kelly & Melissa are such incredible woman.
When they were talking about million dollar baby I knew exactly what Melissa was talking about and I totally agree Hillary swank deserved her Oscar more than anyone
I'm so glad Kelly and Drew are host now. I love them they are so real.
I just want to say, Kelly Clarkson is so awesome as a talk show host! I absolutely love her. Needless to say HUGE fan.
No she’s not good. She turns almost every conversation about herself. She was asking Melissa about almost quitting then before Melissa even answered she interjected that she almost quit. Then the conversation shifted to her and Melissa never told her own story. This is such a common way Kelly conducts her interviews. And not to be mean spirited but if Kelly was like this during her marriage, then that could have played a part in the divorce.
Million Dollar Baby was a masterpiece. Hilary Swank did an outstanding job in that movie
I can't imagine a life without Melissa Mccarthy! This women saved me so many times. She kept my sanity in check by making me lose it in laughter. God Bless You Melissa and THANK YOU FOR NEVER GIVEN UP 🙏 ❤ ♥ EDIT: YOUR MOM IS PROUD YA DIDN'T TAKE IT OFF LOL
Melissa is one of the most beautiful women I've ever layed my eyes upon. She's BEAUTIFUL inside and out. I love her❤ She's full of integrity, wisdom and grace 🙏
I wish Kelly Clarkson would do a soundtrack for Melissa's next movie❤❤❤
Love Clarkson and McCarthy together. They have a great presence together. Love the energy.
Imagine having these two as neighbors ♥️.
Everytime I see Melissa McCarthy I cant help but laugh 😂😂 my all time favorite movies from her is identity theft and Tammy ! I'm so glad she didn't quite she's so beautiful and a hilarious actor 😂♥️
Wow That made me tear up a little. It was touching to hear them two discuss how hard and difficult their lives can be, in being famous. They both almost gave up on their careers. And how Melissa said she talks things out. Im glad im not the only one that does that.
I'm so glad both of them didn't gave up on their talents. I fell for Kelly ❤️ when she traded places with Randy. I would have always wondered what happened to her. My life would be different if she never got famous. Melissa you keep up the great work you do too your a great comic show actress 😊
Never gave* 😉
Bucket list: Coffee at the table with Kelly & Melissa…. ♥️
I'm really feeling a dramedy-chick flick script vibe with these two awesome and hilarious women. Can someone please screenplay that ASAP? We really need more good comedies in this shit world RN.
I'm so glad to hear you say it, because this is REAL LIFE! and all those influencers showing just the glamorous parts and pretending to be just "blessed" make me feel confused about my own experiences! you are special for showing us what it really is like and how to push through the challenges!
yes we call them the Car Auditions. You hit it right on the nail Melissa.
Yes! Speaking up in the moment is HARD. Especially when you are in the minority or you are totally alone in that feeling or perception. Peer pressure happens ALL over the place. Pressure from people who say they are trying to do what's in your best interests when really they are not. To go against the current, especially against authority figures like your boss or your director etc is extremely difficult and frightening then 10 × worse if you are female.
Oh my Goddess how long has this interview been out and No One Told Me!? I love these Ladies!! They are the most authentic I have ever seen!
I love watching Kelly do this because it feels so much more like a conversation. Not bashing any other, famous (hint) talk show hosts on right now, but the conversations don’t always feel authentic.
I cannot imagine a world where either one of these ladies is not famous... Melissa McCarthy's work has been a delight, if I am sad or depressed or stressed I know I can throw on one of her movies and feel better by the end of it, because she is so good and the roles she takes are ones that have helped me a lot...more than most award winning movies have, noteable exceptions are Robin Williams movies, and thats because he did serious roles like no one else can, he can have you balling your eyes out one moment then dying of laughter the literal next moment, it's God level performance when you can do that. A world without Kelly's career and influence on music, no her music is astoundingly good, it has uplifted me, it has made me move to the music, it has made me cry and it has just made me feel alive in times that I otherwise was numb to everything else.
I totally get what u are saying, dude!
my very close friend of many years was honored to let hillary play her role in the movie conviction a true story .. I was dumbfounded how she captured her every thing .. wow amazing talent
I wish I could stand up for myself like these ladies
First time watching. Kelly Clarkson is good at this ! She really listens and gets stuff out like your there. Great job Kelly .
Two really wonderful people in an interview, love it!
She’s so wise! Love this.
I wish we could have gotten the actual story about when she almost quit acting. I feel like she was interrupted at that moment
Kelly is adorable, and I love her in this role, but she needs to learn how to listen. Not everything has to come back to her being able to relate. I hope her team will catch on to this, but you think someone would have by now. Hopefully with some time and experience....
“i’m good for like a month” SO TRUE 😭
The Queen of Comedy 👑❤️💗
I had the exact same reaction to Million Dollar Baby when I saw it years ago! I cried so hard that my eyes were practically swollen shut and my sinuses were completely clogged. Hillary Swank was incredible, as was Clint Eastwood. Watch it alone if you don't want to be seen bawling.
such a great genuine conversation and connection aweee
No joke that it must be SO hard being a woman in the Entertainment industry! For all of you ladies like Kelly and Melissa, we thank you for not giving up! Seriously, the amount of feelings yall have brought out in me over the years, and the times where your God given talents have soothed me through difficult times...has been nothing short of many blessings. PLEASE dont ever leave us! 100% Yall have no idea the importance of your work for people just trying to make it through life
That's for sure especially her new albun
best convo yetttttttt just two ladies chatting i could listen alll day
I would love for each of these awesome women to have their own separate time to share their stories about this. It was my impression they each had a lot still to share. Namaste, my friends.
just started watching gilmore girls, and what a gem melissa is!!
I love Melissa ! Her eyes are beautiful 🤩
Melissa has such an amazing ability to tell very interesting stories. Thankful these two beauties stuck it out, love having people like them in the entertainment business!
Best talk show on tv! 💥 Kelly is so genuine.
Great Interview .... relate to what they are saying. Yes be kind!
Love Melissa McCarthy ❤❤❤. She is such a good actress. Million Dollar baby was a great movie. I also cried for about 20 mins. Why hasn't Melissa been in any movies for a while now? I miss seeing her on screen.
Melissa talking about us being called crazy and stuff when we are speaking about our feelings and having the sense of something’s not quite right is so true. I'm honest now; today, I felt that my son thinks or thought about giving up on life, and I talked about me feeling it with everyone in the family and his teacher too and having to feel that as a mom is so painful. My mom understood, but there was this moment of them thinking, I'm making it up. It even hurts writing it out into the open. I sincerely believe that talking about these issues has to become normal. Just because the other is not feeling or recognizing it on the surface doesn't mean that we're making stuff up or are crazy or that it doesn't exist at all. I said my truth and what the cause of it could be; they felt offended. But what am I supposed to do? Shutting my mouth because it couldn't be true or cause effort to look at it and watch it happen? It's necessary to speak up, and sometimes this shifts a situation, even if they choose to blame me.
“These aren’t my people.” Boy…can I relate to THAT! 🙄😂🤪
Kelly’s show reminds me of back in the days when Rosie O'Donnell had her show ❤️
So refreshing! I 💓them all.
wow this is a really great insightful/moving conversation . More daytime tv interviews should be like this.
Love you both and our lives are blessed from your way of entertainment ❤ 🙏 💕
thank you. 😢❤
So glad you two are here for us ❤
Thank you so much, I needed to hear that conversation!
Wow amazing and very smart words! Very true
This is very, very good.
Hilary Swank is incredibly underrated even though she has 2 best actress Oscars .....her ability to make you empathise with her characters are second to none ....I wish she did more stuff !

Loved their stories of perseverance. Real-life role models right here.
Currently looking for the dress Melissa is wearing 💙
I love you Kelly, and I love Melissa McCarthy!!!
She is right. Excellent movie.
I love both these two women. My favorite American Idol and Melissa McCarthy. Someone once told me I looked like MM the girl on Gilmore Girls, which I hadn't watched.
100% listen to your instincts. It saved my life.
She holds the title for the funnuest skits in SNL history. Spicey!!
U both are intelligent and can deal with your true emotions
Two of the most honest open and true to themselves women in entertainment today (along with Reba and Dolly of course) stay strong and just always be yourself. Thank you so much. (would love to be ya'll neighbor)
4:56 a guy yelling „TAKE YOUR TOP OFF!“ Melissa: „omg you‘re so right“ hahahah
yea I love MM - and I saw the headline didn't know who's show it was - I was shocked - this is Kelly Clarkson? Wow she's really changed - I didn't even recognize her
oh,what and you say! All's WELL!❤❤🎶🎶
Wouldn't you love to be these 2 neighbors and be their friends
Kelly looks beautiful ❤️
So jelly that Melissa is your neighbor! She is my favorite!
Million dollar baby was an amazing movie
I'm very glad we all collectively had that reaction to million dollar baby
Melissa ❤
This woman dress so beautifully love Melissa
Also I could listen to Melissa talk for hours lol.
If you put 2 lovely women together, it's just like magic! You are both fabulous!
I Love Melissa’s dimples and green eyes!
We love Sookie St James
