In a video released Wednesday, the actor, who was born in Concord and grew up in Acton, thanked the staff of Emerson Hospital in Concord, where his mother worked as a nurse for more than 30 years.

“I like to consider myself sort of an alumni of Emerson Hospital because I was born there. I was voted Cutest Baby of 1962,” Carell said. “Also, my mom was a nurse at Emerson for over 30 years, so Emerson and I go way way, way back.”
