About Melissa McCarthy and Ben Falcone's special bond

Contrary to the popular advice of never going to bed angry, the duo share the opposite stance.

During Watch What Happens Live, Ben revealed: "People say, 'Don't go to bed mad.' I say '[expletive] it. Go to bed mad.' It's fine."

From the very first time we spoke, we were on the same page. We love each other, respect each other and try not to sweat the small stuff. And we really make each other laugh."
