[laughter] it really was struck by lightning, but people don't believe me. anyway, because of the power outages, there was a pole -- i have so many poles. i didn't realize there were so many poles. there was a poll that was just conducted, pardon the pun. g.e. generator systems, this is true, they asked americans which celebrity they would want at their house if the power went out, and i am happy to say i was the winner.

i wanted it so bad, you guys. and i won. it's very flattering. it's nice to know if you can't watch me on tv, you want me there in person. that's good. there's no electricity. just be in my house and do the show. but i don't know what you think i'm going to do with you in the dark, because -- [laughter] first of all, i'm a married lady. she put a ring on it. [cheers and applause] and second of all, i don't know if i'm the right person to call if the power goes out. i actually am a little bit scared of the dark. the last time we lost power, i grabbed candles and flashlights, and ran into my panic room and i hid under a cinder block. it turned out we didn't lose power. i forgot to take off my eye mask, so -- [laughter] you can imagine. but whoever voted for me, thank you very much. if i could entertain you in the

dark, i would. obviously, there is something we can do together, and we don't need no power. we can dance. [cheers and applause] ♪
