Transcript
00:00 I have an incredible collection of...
00:01 I actually know what your most incredible collection of is,
00:04 but it's not safe for this conversation.
00:05 So, um...
00:06 I want to play this game just in regular life.
00:08 Hi, my name is Kirsten Bangsness.
00:15 And Aisha Tyler.
00:16 And we are playing How Well Do You Know Your Co-Star with Marie Claire.
00:19 My favorite movie ever is...
00:22 A. Ghostbusters 2.
00:25 B. Rushmore.
00:28 Or C. Undercover Brother.
00:31 Oh my god, I'm already so delighted by this.
00:36 That's a really tough one.
00:38 But Ghostbusters 2 is not a good film.
00:41 And Rushmore is like, you know, a great film.
00:46 But just feels a little twee for you.
00:48 So I'm gonna go Undercover Brother.
00:49 You are...
00:53 It's very close and it makes sense.
00:55 You are wrong.
00:56 It is the top three.
00:57 So it was difficult.
00:59 Was difficult.
01:00 But Rushmore is what the inside of my brain looks like on a very good day.
01:04 It is my favorite movie.
01:06 My first job was selling Red Delicious apples at a flea market.
01:10 Selling amps to forlorn dads at Pacific Stereo.
01:14 Or as backup singer for Bay Area Supergroup, Tony, Tony, Tony.
01:19 This is tricky because you could do any of those.
01:21 Very, very tricky.
01:24 I want it to be three really badly.
01:26 It's not three.
01:27 It was amps.
01:28 Damn it.
01:29 All of these things also had like some faces in truth.
01:33 I definitely was not a backup singer for Bay Area Supergroup, Tony, Tony, Tony.
01:36 I did hang out in a Pacific Stereo quite a bit when I was a kid
01:39 because it was right next to my apartment building.
01:41 And so inadvertently, I might have been persuasive.
01:44 But I sold apples at the flea market.
01:47 I had a little stand when I was five.
01:49 And I sold them for a quarter.
01:51 I have an incredible collection of A, band pins.
01:56 B, stickers.
01:57 Or C, cat toys.
01:59 D, all of the above.
02:00 Incredible.
02:01 Oh man, stickers, band pins or cat toys.
02:05 Oh, this is so hard.
02:09 I've never seen any of your band pins.
02:13 I know you have a lot of band pins, but I don't feel like I've seen this collection.
02:16 You do have an insane number of cat toys.
02:17 I actually know what your most incredible collection of is,
02:20 but it's not safe for this conversation.
02:21 So cat toys?
02:23 Band pins.
02:25 But you can't walk around like-
02:26 How am I ever seeing a band pin?
02:27 You just don't look.
02:30 They're always on a jacket.
02:31 I've got every band we've mentioned, I have.
02:34 Including random Saturday Night Live spoof bands that don't exist.
02:39 My first concert was A, Tracy Chapman and the Indigo Girls.
02:42 B, Prince and Vanity Six.
02:46 Or C, the Scorpions and Bon Jovi.
02:50 Oh!
02:53 I know for a fact that it has got to be,
02:57 it's either B or C and I'm gonna just lean into my hope and say B.
03:04 I really wish I'd seen Prince and Vanity Six in concert.
03:07 That would be a great show.
03:08 I loved Prince.
03:09 You saw Scorpion, you did.
03:10 I saw the Scorpions.
03:11 I saw the Scorpions.
03:12 I saw Prince and Bon Jovi.
03:13 My first concert was A, David Bowie.
03:19 B, Whitney Houston.
03:21 Or C, Duran Duran.
03:24 Oh man, this is such a hard one because I know that you are a big fan of all those people.
03:27 I'm gonna say Duran Duran.
03:28 I know you love Duran Duran.
03:30 I know you recently seen Duran Duran.
03:31 That was my third concert.
03:33 Duran Duran was my third concert, Whitney Houston was my second concert.
03:35 My first concert was David Bowie with Suzy and the Banshees.
03:39 Oh, that's amazing.
03:40 Oh, I'm very jealous.
03:41 I'm very, very jealous of you.
03:43 I once traveled to which country for the sole purpose of eating in a restaurant?
03:48 A, France.
03:49 B, Ireland.
03:51 C, Sweden.
03:54 Sweden!
03:54 Yeah, damn it, all of that.
03:56 I want to play this game just in regular life.
04:00 You went there and you ate like organ meats?
04:03 Yes, pigeon liver, tiny little pigeon livers and like weird fermented things.
04:07 My first job was at A, the school library.
04:12 B, fabrics and things.
04:16 Or C, Hoff's Hut restaurant hostess.
04:18 Damn it all to hell.
04:22 I wanted to be fabrics and things.
04:26 I just wanted to be fabrics and things because you're a very crafty person.
04:29 Even though it's probably not the answer, I'm going to stick with it.
04:31 I'm getting a lot of nods out of you.
04:32 No.
04:32 I loved the ribbon so much and I was so bad at it that when I would cut fabric,
04:38 you'd get an extra like two feet because I just couldn't keep it straight.
04:41 You're off.
04:42 Which is an analogy for the rest of my life.
04:44 I just couldn't keep it straight.
04:46 So yes, it was fabrics and things.
04:47 Oh my God, I can't believe I got that right.
04:49 I have a tattoo of a constellation.
04:51 Is it A, Virgo, B, Cassiopeia, or C, Ursa Major?
04:59 I think it's Cassiopeia.
05:02 That's a really good guess.
05:04 Yeah, it's Ursa Major.
05:06 Incorrect.
05:06 It's Ursa Major.
05:07 It's Ursa Major.
05:08 Damn it.
05:12 I really hate A, carrots, B, truffles, or C, sparkling water.
05:19 I'm going to go with truffles.
05:20 I have a gag reflex to carrots.
05:23 Raw carrots.
05:24 Really?
05:25 I can have roasted carrots.
05:27 I go on a mission to try to eat carrots, but actually like raw carrots make me like--
05:32 I absolve you from any feeling of obligation to ever eat carrots.
05:36 I don't know why you're on a mission to eat carrots.
05:38 I feel like there are other vegetables in the vegetable kingdom.
05:40 My I-Class description?
05:41 It's too late, Kirsten.
05:43 My favorite food is A, pasta, B, french fries, C, wine, which I consider a food.
05:53 Why?
05:54 See, I tricked you there because it's definitely french fries.
05:58 It is?
05:59 It's french fries, yes.
06:00 I didn't know that.
06:01 To the point that if you order french fries and you look away,
06:04 you will not have any french fries if I'm at the table.
06:06 Like, it's like a compulsion.
06:08 We had all been talking and interacting and going out to dinner and doing all kinds of stuff
06:12 while the show was away, but I just think everybody just came back like super fired up,
06:17 even better at our jobs than we were before, and with this just joyfulness of like,
06:24 we can't believe we get a second bite at this apple.
06:26 So it's just been really easy and fun and electric, and then it went really fast.
06:33 It was this weird mix of like, new, but I know this,
06:37 but you feel so completely safe with the people you're with.
06:40 So for me, it just felt like that, because it is a different show, but it's the same show.
06:46 We have a lady event.
06:48 We do a lady event.
06:51 It's called Hot Tub Wine Machine,
06:52 and essentially it's just four girls drinking wine in a hot tub for a very long time.
06:57 It's awesome.
06:58 We've sat in that, which this I think is unusual in Hollywood in general,
07:03 we've sat there and been like, how much do you get paid?
07:04 How much do you get paid?
07:06 We are girls, girls, and that is very important to me,
07:09 and it's a value I hold, and I know Aisha holds the same,
07:12 and like, we all hold that.
07:14 So it's a really affirming place to be a lady.
07:18 This has been Aisha Tyler and Kirsten Fagensis
07:20 from Criminal Minds Evolution, which is streaming right now on Paramount+.
07:24 And be sure to subscribe to Marie Claire.
