00:00 What a night to be here, right? I mean, Dick Van Dyke.
00:02 I know, it's such an incredible night. I feel so lucky to be here.
00:05 As soon as I got the call, I was like, "Yes! Whatever you want me to do, yes!"
00:08 Absolutely. What are you doing tonight? Can you tell us?
00:10 I'm dancing to "Put on a Happy Face" with Skylar Astin.
00:14 And honestly, it was my top choice if I could choose a number to do.
00:20 And so when they said that they wanted me to dance "Put on a Happy Face," I was like, "Yes!"
00:24 That's actually perfect for you, too. I can't wait to see that.
00:26 Thank you.
00:27 What makes Dick such a mesmerizing and amazing performer, even all these years later?
00:31 You know, I think that it's just all the life and character that he brought to all his performances.
00:37 They're so charming and endearing just because they seem so authentic.
00:41 It's who he is.
00:43 It's very him.
00:44 Yeah, it's like he's bringing himself to every character, and I think that's all you can ever strive for as a performer.
00:50 Do you have a favorite Dick Van Dyke role? I feel like that's hard to choose, but yeah, what's your favorite?
00:54 Oh, Mary Poppins.
00:55 Mary, that is so timeless, too. Like, I could watch that whenever, you know?
00:58 Yes. No, Elvis is so into it right now, so it's really fun.
01:01 Oh, that's awesome. I love it.
01:02 Now, I've been asking everybody, what do you think is Dick's secret to being so amazing at 98?
01:07 Oh, gosh. Maybe, you know, he doesn't stop moving, and I think he always has a smile on his face,
01:15 or it seems like he has a smile on his face. I mean, "Put on a Happy Face."
01:18 I think there's something to, you know, smiling your way through life, laughing and enjoying life.
01:23 It keeps you living longer.
01:25 Okay, so the holidays are here. What are your plans with Elvis?
01:28 Oh, yes. We are going up to Napa with my whole family, and I'm going to be teaching fitness,
01:34 and we're going to be at a beautiful resort, and just going to, yeah, have a Napa holiday.
01:39 I know you just spoke a little bit about dating again, and your dating life on the topic.
01:43 I am dating a few people right now, so we'll see.
01:47 A few?
01:48 What does this next era look like for Amanda Kloots? You know, what does 2024 look like for you?
01:52 This is like my Taylor Swift era.
01:55 What is your era? What's your next era?
01:57 I don't know. Is it, I don't know, a tall, dark, and handsome era? I don't know.
02:02 You're Travis Kelce.
02:04 Yeah. It's my Travis Kelce era.
02:06 You want me to go to an NFL game?
02:08 You tell me. Just bring, just please bring me someone.
02:11 You guys know a lot of people over at ET. Could we do something about this? Can you be a matchmaker for me?
02:18 You're asking the most single person in LA, you know, but I think if you're open to it, it will try.
02:23 We both need a Taylor Swift era.
02:25 We're trying to manifest tall, dark, and handsome for both of us.
02:28 Just bring it on.
