Dustin from Ohio asked James if you could tell us anything about Tina Fey that would surprise us while he was working with her?
She's already a beautiful woman but she's even more attractive in person.
Minnie shares her best memory of working in Boston shooting Goodwill Hunting. It's sad now it was watching Matt & Ben shooting a scene with Robin Williams. He did this amazing improv to all the people eating the sandwiches during lunch. At the end there were about 300 people watching.

Andy's mom texted him during the break saying that guy in your show is very handsome. (We miss you Evelyn come back soon!)
James is currently single right now!
Valerie from Ohio asked Minnie how does she handle working with actors or actresses that are vertically challenged?
Minnie advises "the first you do is not say oh my god you're so short! That tends to alienate them. The best thing to do is say go ahead and build me a ditch, don't worry about standing on the Apple box, I'll stand in the ditch! That's what you have to do to get along with very short actors."
Tabatha from Tennessee called and asked James what qualities do you look for in a woman?
James likes a good sense of humor and he likes a stunning woman.

Dana Cowin's New book has 65 chefs teaching her in it. The best of best advice one of the chefs gave her was to focus. At the end of the day you can be distracted and focusing on a whole bunch of different things but if you don't focus, your sunk.
Melinda from Tennessee asked Minnie if she ever went to her class reunion?
Minnie did attend. It was her high school reunion and everyone was pretty much normal except for one person who looked like someone had taken a bicycle pump to them. She was never very nice in the first place and it couldn't happen to a nicer person. (I love the shade Minnie is giving tonight)
Minnie grew up in England and it was very well attended reunion. There was a very lovely girl in a wheelchair who came up to her and said it's Marie, don't you remember me? Minnie said there was no Marie and her class. She said oh that's because I used to be Martin.
Jess from New Jersey asked Minnie & James if they could do any show on Broadway what would it be and why?
Minnie would like to be in Funny Firl or Cabaret. Andy encourages Minnie to give it a try. She would be fantastic in Cabaret.
James would do Cabaret as well.
Chan from Atlanta asked James if he was surprised by the bad press that he got from the movie The Box with Cameron Diaz?
It was an interesting, challenging movie that just didn't quite work.
Natalie from Atlanta asked Minnie about a show she did called The Riches and what happened to it?
It was pretty much killed off by the writers strike in California.
Shannon from Philadelphia called and asked James if you were gay who would you shag, marry & kill, Andy Cohen, Anderson Cooper or Neil Patrick Harris?
James would kill Neil Patrick Harris, marry Anderson Cooper and shag Andy Cohen. (Well played James)
A caller from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania asked Minnie & James what was their most embarrassing moment while filming a movie?
James did this movie called the box, there was a scene where Cameron Diaz and him were laying in a bed face-to-face it was an intimate talk scene. James got terribly ill, he had to go to the bathroom and throw up. He didn't want to continue filming but Cameron was cool with it.
Minnie doesn't do anything embarrassing. (Minnie is Perfect)
And with that Andy bids us a good night.
