Kristin Chenoweth went on Fox & Friends to discuss locking lips with PROMISES PROMISES co-star Sean Hayes, Hollywood actors making the move to Broadway, and being adopted.

Chenoweth on her kiss with Hayes: "Not a lot was going on in my mind except for 'Woah'. Sean Hayes can kiss."

Chenoweth also weighed in on the movie stars receiving honors at this year's Tonys: "There's a lot of talk about Hollywood, and people winning and not being nominated. The thing is, we're all actors. She continued, "I don't want to go into another community and not be accepted into something. I'm an actor. If someone's deserving of it, and it's certainly Denzel Washington, Scarlett Johanson and Catherine Zeta; then fine."

On the topic of her adoption, Chenoweth boasts, "I have been blessed with great parents."
