Says host Ellen DeGeneres: “Maybe the reason it’s No. 1 is because he’s showing his …”

“His penis,” Garner interjects, adding: “I think you’re probably on to something. And what I have to say is — you’re welcome. You know, I try to consider myself a charitable person and I wanted to give back. You give me so much. I wanted to give something back to all of you.”

Garner also said that she and Affleck did talk it over before he shot the scene.

“It was a discussion,” she said. “It was like ‘Hey, um at work today [director David] Fincher talked me into coming out of the shower.’ And I was like, ‘Cool, well I hope he had on a wide lens.’ “

Written by Amy’s doting psychologist parents, these charming picture books address kids’ burning questions, like: Should I always tell the truth? Can I bend this rule? Should I try a little harder? This sampler lets you follow along on some of Amazing Amy’s adventures as she leads by example and makes good, smart, positive choices.”
