While Channing was chatting with the host, Dawn just couldn’t resist putting the star in a compromising position on behalf of her 30-year-old daughter.

Dawn had the audience and her fellow guests laughing to pieces as she tried to hoodwink Channing, who recently divorced his ex-wife Jenna Dewan in 2019, but is rumored to be dating actress Zoe Kravitz. She began by teasing Channing to be a bit more adventurous after suffering two years of COVID lockdowns.

Addressing the actor, Dawn declared:

“I’m Dawn French you wouldn’t know me I’m from the eighties, and I’m a goer.

“I just wanted to ask you about how you have coped over the last grim two years with lockdowns, and has it made you more spontaneous to say yes to things?”

She continued: “If I asked you something now, would you say, “Yes Dawn, I will?”‘

Sounding a little coy, Channing then said: “I feel like I’m walking into something here, but you’re a goer, let’s go.”

That’s when Dawn declared dramatically:

“Well, I have to tell you, Tanning Chatum, that you just agreed to marry my daughter. You’re my son-in-law now!”

While everyone joined Dawn in a hearty laugh, fellow guests Andrew Garfield, Johannes Radebe, and Rob Beckett struggled to contain themselves. However, viewers watching at home were more confused by Dawn’s mixup of Channing’s name.
