Recently on Facebook I told you that I was considering hiring a cleaning company to come into my home and help me with some of my chores; however, when I thought about how much cleaning I’d have to do before I’d let a cleaning person come in, I said forget it.
Now I’m wondering how much cleaning I’d need to do before I’d let a celebrity come over. That’s a question I’m asking myself after seeing the Mommy Show which is hosted by my friend Ilana from Mommy Shorts. On her new show she invites celebrities into her home, asks them funny questions you won’t hear anywhere else, and even has the celeb participate in a craft and other stuff that will have you cracking up too like the episode where she has Taye Diggs folding her laundry and touching her toilet.
Do you know how much cleaning I’d have to do to let Taye Diggs touch my toilet?
The answer is none.
There’s no amount of cleaning that would be enough – I’d have to bring in a new toilet if Taye Diggs were to show up at my front door with the intent to touch my toilet.
Ilana has hosted other famous guests as well, and I got to thinking who I’d love to have over for an interview if I had a Mommy Show too.
At the top of my list is the new Dad and Late Night Show host, Jimmy Fallon!
Although his daughter is still a baby, I’m sure we’d have a lot to talk about, and I could give him a glimpse of what was to come with my three kids wreaking havoc while I tried to have an adult conversation.
Of course after some of my interview questions, I’d love to have Jimmy participate in a craft as well.
Here Jimmy and I are getting ready to do a Breaking Bad craft, and conveniently we’re also dressed to go touch my toilet afterwards.
Of course, if I invited Jimmy over, The Roots are invited to tag along as well, and we could even do one of his sing alongs. This would make a great holiday card, even though my roots are showing…
But I’m not like Ilana – if Jimmy comes over, I won’t make him fold my laundry…
But he can help me vacuum.
This seems like such a genius idea especially because I’m not expecting to get an invite to be on his show anytime soon. So Jimmy & The Roots, consider this an open invitation to stop by anytime!
Don’t miss the Mommy Show! You can check it out here!
Who would you invite over if you had your own show? Leave me a comment and let me know!
And have you been participating in the first annual It’s Okay to be Okay Week?

Love this! And I loved that video with Taye Diggs. “That’s ridiculous! I just peed in my pants 4 times.” hahahah
The toilet seat lock is probably my favorite child safety product of all time….we used to call it “guest proof” since I always had to open it up for visitors who needed to use the loo.
And can you believe Taye Diggs was in her house??
” I’d have to bring in a new toilet if Taye Diggs were to show up at my front door.” You are so right – a new toilet altogether would be my only hope too – and a big sign to my kids DO NOT USE THIS BATHROOM UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!
This was simply awesome. You had me at the Breaking Bad-themed crafts…lmao!
xo

In addition to unlocking the toilet for my guests I always used to tell them to “lock the door too” because my kids would be walking right in…and even now that they can read, I’m not sure a giant sign would help either!
I love that you bribe your kids for the Tina Fey interview! genius!
This was so funny! LOVE the (not-retouched-at-all) photos. Seriously still having giggle spasms over you being “conveniently dressed to go touch my toilet afterwards.”

Ellen, don’t be jealous of my mad photo editing skillz! I can’t believe you knew they were gently retouched!
And originally I was going to add my head and Jimmy’s onto a picture with two people in “germ suits” as I call them, and then I remembered this skit! It looks so natural I think…
I would be giddy with delight if Jimmy showed up. Of course, we’d have to sit outside because my house is a massive health hazard. Your creativity and sense of humor is just so delightful. I’d better go clean my toilets….just in case. xo
Well, I hope Jimmy & The Roots know that my open invite comes with the unspoken rule of giving me a 2 week notice. i should be able to get a hazmat team in here by then, or find someone else’s house to pretend I live in…
Jimmy needs you in his life.
