But Wednesday’s two-hour finale featured a new twist the first married couple.
DERMOT MULRONEY:It was such an amazing phone call to get that the show reached out to us.
Kind of a stealth Hollywood couple.

So it really works perfectly for this show.
We both like to do karaoke together and we both like music so much.
It was actually, for me, it was really an amazing experience to be on television and singing.

Of course with my husband, I play with him all the time in the house.
We all play instruments.
We have harps, guitars, ukulele, pianos, you name it.
I’ve been singing since I was very little and music is my heart.
So it was a great experience.
They made it so easy for us.
We had so much fun.
I wish we could do it again.
APOLLINAARE:Dermot is an amazing singer.
He just finished a musicalMack and Mabelwhere he played Mack.
I just finished that, but hopefully we’ll be able to play that again.
APOLLINAARE:Take it to Broadway.
MULRONEY:Hey, Broadway is a good idea.
Thanks for bringing that up.
Obviously I’ve carried a tune in a movie or two.
And it was so gracefully hosted byJoel McHale.
APOLLINAARE:I had fun singing with him.
I have to say, really, really fun.
APOLLINAARE:I didn’t mind.
The show is extremely well done.
It was such an easy peasy experience for me.
I’ve never done anything like that and it was so friendly.
Let’s take this thing on the road.
OnWe Are Family, there was a Dylan McDermott clue.
Does the “is itDylan McDermott or Dermot Mulroney” thing ever get old?
I would say about 25 years ago it was old, I think for about a minute.
And then it goes in cycles.
It is an inter, multigenerational…
It’s like it was a mental meme for people before they even had them.
But this one has.
APOLLINAARE:We’re friends with Dylan.
MULRONEY:And now especially just he’ll find something funny and text me.
Or I’ll text him something.
I do love him.
We are blessed to have him on a parallel universe track in my entire life.
We’re better for each other than we thought in the first place.
There’s more humor to come, and joy to be wrung out of this bizarre non-identity crisis.
Another one of the clues was aboutMy Best Friend’s Wedding.
MULRONEY:It was an incredibly touching screening.
MULRONEY:Yeah, there’s a good idea for sure.
So it was an amazing film to watch and to aspire to when we were makingAnyone But You.
That thing has been in the movie theaters for 12 weeks and it’s still ranking.
Now, just last week they opened it on VOD, and it was No.
1 out of the gate for that first week and continuing in the top 10.
I’m so thrilled for everybody involved inAnyone But Youbecause of how much everybody brought to those roles.
APOLLINAARE:No, no, no.
I watch all of his movies.
But I always think his movies are excellent.
I really like it.
No, I watch romantic comedies by myself even without my husband.
Actually, I just finished a show and it’s so good, so good.
I’ve never been so much taken into a show like this.
This one really did it for me.
It’s calledOne Dayon Netflix.
Speaking of not missing something, her third album,22, comes out this May 7.
Is that the right date?
APOLLINAARE:My fourth album.
[Laughs]
MULRONEY:Her fourth album.
And so I urge anyone to go seek her music.
It’s really phenomenal.
She’s a lifetime musician, but it’s amazing to watch Prima’s self-generated creativity come to fruition.
It’s really incredible, especially the way they put us together here on Fox.
We’re so touched, honestly, it means so much to us as a couple.
It really was a great bonding experience.
