The comedian made an appearance on Live with Kelly and Ryan, where she talked to them about what it was that attracted George to her.

"Tell us about you and your hunky husband, George," Kelly Ripa said, as the audience started "woo"-ing and Ali blushed, noting that they had a milestone anniversary coming in November.

Eventually, the conversation got to talking about Ali's shared love for cooking with her daughter Elliott, and Kelly inquired how that interest developed.

"She's an amazing cook out of curiosity and interest," Ali replied. "I'm an amazing cook because I'm mediocre in bed and I had to bring to the marriage something worth... George Stephanopoulos isn't going to just marry anybody, you know what I mean?"

"I told him 'Honey, I love you, but don't buy me the most disgusting piece of jewelry that I have to return behind your back and get store credit and buy some headphones'," she hilariously added.
