[ELLEN]

Now, Bennett, I know we just met, but can I ask you something personal?

[BENNETT CHARLES]

Of course! Nothing’s off limits. I’m an open book.

[ELLEN]

It might be hard to talk about, but visibility and representation are important… are you a heterosexual?

[BENNETT]

(clapping, laughing)

Ellen! Love comes in all shapes and sizes, and you know I support all the beauty in the world!

[AUDIENCE]

(applauding)

[BENNETT]

And I am totally ready to fall in love and find my Mrs.

[ELLEN]

When did you find out you were going to beThe Key’s next suitor?

[BENNETT CHARLES]

It was totally unexpected! But you know what I always say, “live the adventure, share the love.”

[AUDIENCE]

(cheering)

[BENNETT CHARLES]

It was all super-fast and I can’t wait to take America on my journey. I’m so stoked to meet my future wife.

[ELLEN]

What are you looking for in a wife?

[BENNETT CHARLES]

I’m really just looking for someone who’s beautiful inside and out. Kind. Has an adventurous spirit. Wants to give back and make this world a better place.

[ELLEN]

I’m already taken.
