Falcone shared with the hosts that he loves being a dad to teenage daughters, and that it's "really nice" raising "amazing young people."

"I tell people I have teenage girls, and they go, 'Ah man. How's it in your house.' and I'm like, 'It's great,' " Falcone said. "They're really nice. They're amazing young people. I feel good to know that these young people are going to grow up and take over the world."

The actor, whose latest book What's Scarier Than Thunder? hit shelves earlier this month, first became a dad in 2007, when the couple welcomed daughter Vivian. Three years later, the duo welcomed daughter Georgette, completing their family of four. McCarthy opened up to PEOPLE about her family life at home in February 2020.

“It’s not the most serious household,” she said. “There’s a lot of serious stuff happening in the world, and we don’t have to have it in the house.”

She noted that people are always “yelling” and “coming in and out” of their house. “Our youngest is constantly on some kind of wheeled thing ripping through the house, and I just kind of love it,” she added of Georgette.

Now that the girls are teenagers, McCarthy couldn't be prouder of the young women they've become.

"Watching them navigate a world that's so much more complicated and so much harder. And to do it with such grace and love and care and such empathy for other people," she said during her April 2023 cover story for PEOPLE. "Boy, you don't want to mess with those two if you're doing wrong to good people, they stand up for themselves. And I learn from that every single day."

The Little Mermaid actress also discussed the prospect of her daughters eventually leaving the nest, but admitted that she doesn't even allow herself to think about it.

"Nope, because it's never going to happen," she said jokingly. "One of my daughters was talking about maybe going to school in Scotland. And literally Ben's like, 'Your lip's twitching.'"
