Ben Affleck Calls In… $10,000 Contest Ends. 12/12/03. 7:55am
After the break Howard said that Gary came running in during the break and said he had to take over the show. Gary told Howard that the $10,000 contest was officially over. They had a celebrity on the line from the list of celebs who they had on their list. Robin and Howard both guessed it was Ben Affleck. They were right.
Ben said that he’s been a fan of the show and has been waiting for them to ask him to be on the show. He said this was the only way he could get on the show. Howard and Robin said that’s a lie because they’ve asked him to be on before. Howard started off with Jennifer Lopez questions. He asked Ben about J-Lo’s former marriage and if he did anything with her while she was still married. Howard said he had a ton of questions for him. Howard asked Ben about a comment he made in an interview about his sex life. Ben said that he never said his sex life was boring, it’s just normal like anyone else’s. Howard brought up the story of Ben going to a strip club to find other women. Ben claims that the woman who claimed he gave her oral sex was lying and that whole thing was made up so she could make some money. He said there are a lot of things that come out. They supposedly went back to Christian Slater’s house after that with the women but Ben said that he never went into the house with the strippers and he has 5 witnesses that will back him up.

Howard asked Ben about his wedding being called off and what was up with that. Ben explained that they just got tired of all of the coverage it was getting. Howard quickly moved on to ask Ben about how long it took for him to get into J-Lo’s pants after meeting her on the set of ”Gigli.” Howard and Robin both sarcastically said that the movie was great as they talked about that. Ben said he was dating someone at the time. That led to them talking about how he dated Gwyneth Paltrow and how she apparently bad mouths Ben these days. He said he didn’t think that was the case though.
Howard tried to find out how long it took for Ben to get in J-Lo’s pants again. He said they dated for a while and it took a little time. He said that when they did finally have sex it was amazing. Howard asked him if she ever yelled out ”Puffy” while they were having sex. Howard wondered if he ever thinks about how P. Diddy had her before he did. Ben said that Howard dated Robin Givens so he should know what that’s like.
Ben got in a plug for this charity the money is going to go to from this contest. It’s for some A.T. Children’s Fund. He said there’s a longer name that he can’t pronounce, that’s why it’s just A.T.
Howard asked Ben if he’s actually going to marry J-Lo. Ben said hopefully he will. He said his mother likes her unlike what some articles say about that. Robin also brought up the stories about Jen’s mother and how Ben has to buy her a lot of gifts. Ben said that stuff isn’t true either. He also denied having a gambling problem. He said he doesn’t bet $250,000 on a hand of poker like some people claim. Howard said he saw him on Celebrity Poker and he was a pretty good poker player.
Ben asked when he can come in and get an interview in the studio. Howard said he will have to do that sometime but he had more questions for him. He asked Ben if he thinks about how Jen has been married twice before. He said he’s got to think that there’s something wrong there. Ben said that everyone’s had problems in their relationships and her’s has just been more publicized than most. Gary came in and told Ben to come in next week because they have a whole open week. Ben said he has to fly out to L.A. but he may stop by when he comes back.
Gary also asked Ben if they knew how bad ”Gigli” was going to be when they were shooting it. He said they tried doing a bunch of reshoots but a dog is just a dog sometimes and you can’t fix it. Howard asked him if he’s afraid that Jennifer is going to blow up like Star Jones some day. He said her mother isn’t like that so he’s not afraid of that.
Howard told a story about how former DJ Booker once called him and said he was going to drop by with Jennifer Lopez one time. He said he was in his pajamas and changed clothes, brushed his teeth and waited for them to show up. He waited for an hour or so and they never showed up. Booker blew him off though and she never made it up there.
Stuttering John asked Ben if there’s any cellulite on Jen’s ass. He said she’s tight and there is none. He also asked Ben if he’s ever had other women in bed with Jen. He said that hasn’t happened in this relationship but it may have happened in the past. John also got in a question about Ben’s hair and if it’s a weave or something. Ben said he has a ”knit” in there.
Howard said that when he has Ben in the studio he’s going to put together a little poker game. John said that Matt Damon is a fan of the show as well but he’s afraid to come on. Ben said that now that he’s heard this interview, he may change his mind. Howard said his opinion of Ben has gone up since he called in. John threw in another question for Ben and asked him how much he made on the last movie he did. He said he made a lot more than he deserves. He hinted that it was close to $15 million.
Howard told Ben that he thinks he may be going through his money a little too fast. Ben said that he’s got plenty of money and he has saved it. Both Gary and John said that they’ve heard that Ben is a huge tipper. Ben said he used to be in the service industry and he thinks tipping is very important.
Jennifer was there with Ben so the guys asked her to say something. She whispered out a ”hi” and that was it. Howard had Ben ask her some other questions but she ran out of the room. John was asking him to talk about some other stuff like how good she is at oral and stuff like that. Howard wrapped up the interview after that. Ben got in a plug for his movie ”Paycheck” that comes out on December 25th.
Ben gave them more than the required 5 minutes. He gave them 25 minutes no problem. John thought it was funny that they got Ben and they can’t get Jackie (the Joke Man). John said this might be the way to get guests that are hard to get. Gary said that they are going to continue this next year and the money might go up. Howard and the guys talked about some of the other people on that list that they’d like to hear from. He also said he found it interesting that Ben swore on his future children and mother that he wasn’t even in the house with Christian Slater and the strippers that was reported in the National Enquirer. He had to take a break before talking to Mike Walker about that.
