00:03 - On behalf of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce,
00:07 I now declare today Macaulay Culkin Day in Hollywood.
00:10 (audience cheering)
00:13 And now to hear from our newest
00:17 Walk of Famer, Macaulay Culkin.
00:20 (audience cheering)
00:23 - Hey, everyone.
00:26 Thanks for having me.
00:30 (audience laughing)
00:32 Don't tell me what to do.
00:34 All right, fine, fine.
00:36 First, I'd just like to thank everyone for coming.
00:41 (audience applauding)
00:45 There's so many people that I love,
00:50 and to feel that love back is just amazing, so thank you.
00:57 (audience cheering)
01:00 Catherine, Natasha, thanks for all your kind words
01:07 and your stories and stuff.
01:09 You made my kid's dad, their papa, look good.
01:17 The most important thing to me is also
01:20 that their papa understands that he wasn't always his papa.
01:23 He also used to be a kid, too.
01:26 (laughing)
01:29 Thank you, Steve Nissen and Anna Martinez
01:32 and the Walk of Fame Committee for honoring me in this way.
01:36 Yeah, I feel such esteem from this whole thing.
01:41 There's a couple people I wanna single out today.
01:46 Michelle Vega.
01:48 (audience applauding)
01:52 We've worked together for like 20 years,
01:54 everything from just general publicity
01:56 to trips to Disneyland and just dealing with my pizza band.
02:01 You remember that?
02:02 You just always work so tirelessly for me, so thank you.
02:09 I love you.
02:12 Next, I'd like to thank Emily Gerson Sainz.
02:16 There you are.
02:17 The first time I met Emily, I was 13 years old.
02:24 And I had one foot out the door of Hollywood.
02:27 She just stuck around and she stuck around
02:33 and she stuck around.
02:35 I probably quit more projects
02:39 than I've actually done with you, to be honest, to be fair.
02:44 But you stuck around and you stuck around
02:46 and you stuck around.
02:51 Just thanks for sticking around.
02:54 Thanks for believing in me and my family.
02:56 I love you so much, but you're my family.
03:00 I love you.
03:04 I wish Max was here, but I know he is.
03:08 Also, I wanna give my love to Ken Weinrib.
03:12 Hi.
03:14 It's not so remarkable that I've had a lawyer
03:17 since I was 10 years old,
03:19 is the fact that I've had the same lawyer
03:20 since I was 10 years old.
03:21 You're my friend.
03:26 You're my advisor.
03:27 You're my family.
03:31 And just thanks for always looking out for me.
03:34 I love you.
03:34 Yeah, lastly, but not leastly,
03:42 I'd like to thank Brenda.
03:49 You are absolutely everything.
03:51 You're my champion.
03:56 You're the only person happier for me today than I am.
04:00 You're not only the best woman I've ever known,
04:05 you're the best person I've ever known.
04:07 You've given me just all my purpose.
04:11 You've given me family.
04:12 And after the birth of our two boys,
04:17 you've become one of my three favorite people.
04:19 You're somewhere in there.
04:22 But I love you.
04:25 I love you so much.
04:26 So yeah, to wrap things up,
04:30 and in the spirit of the holiday season,
04:32 I just wanna say,
04:33 Merry Christmas, you filthy animals.
04:36 (audience cheering)
