“Wait, your dad didn’t know that you had been a stripper? And he learned it that day?” she asked.
“Giving you a dance, yes,” he said.
“Wow, and how did he take it?” Ellen asked.
“Not well,” he answered. “I mean, really, really not well.”
Ellen then pointed out that his professional life has taken off in recent years, with appearances in films, as well as creating and producing the Magic Mike live show.
And, of course, she gave the audience a gift – a pair of Ellen undies.
