She continued: "I'm a little bit of a lightweight and right after, my sweet assistant started videoing me because I called my friend to tell her I'd done it and I was so proud of myself." Ellen then showed the video of Jennifer crying while telling her friend about the treatment, explaining that she had been listening to the musical Hamilton and tried to convince her dentist to listen to a sad song in the soundtrack. She said: "They did the sad part of Hamilton and I started crying and I couldn't stop. They said, 'Are you okay?' and I said, 'It's so beautiful'. It was so beautiful that musical... So I told them about it and they have to see it."
