Lopez told Michaels that it "was really good to see him" in the rocker's first appearance on the TBS talk show since he suffered a brain hemorrhage on April 21 that left him in the hospital for two weeks.

Lopez flashed to an image of Michaels in his hospital bed wearing a bandana, which got the rocker to recall how the pic had been snapped at a heavy moment following his surgery -- and his doctor's ominous suggestion to see his children.
