Three, two, one, and go.
00:02
Oh, no.
00:03
Ooh, you survived, honey.
00:05
Come back here.
00:06
Mm, yes.
00:08
Hi, everyone, I'm Jonathan Van Ness,
00:10
and I'm playing Pop Quiz with Marie Claire.
00:16
Ooh, what is the best gift you've received?
00:20
Oh, my God.
00:21
The best gift I've ever received was from my mom
00:24
and my great-grandma.
00:25
My great-grandma, she would doodle,
00:27
and she made this one really cool doodle
00:29
and gave it to my mom.
00:30
The doodle was of a lady.
00:32
And so I always loved it
00:33
and always thought it was really cute.
00:34
My mom was like,
00:35
I'm never giving it to you, it's my favorite thing.
00:37
So my mom had taped her head on
00:38
because her head was falling off.
00:39
And then for my birthday last year,
00:41
my mom gave it to me.
00:42
Next question.
00:43
Oh, my gosh, that's so pretty over there, look.
00:46
Last text I sent to my husband,
00:49
probably about our dog or one of our cats,
00:54
which is one of seven possibilities
00:56
because we have two dogs and five cats.
00:59
Cute, liked it.
01:00
Ugh, I was just minding my own business this one day
01:02
and then, ugh!
01:03
Word your friends would use to describe you.
01:07
So I would hope that the official answer
01:09
would be hilarious,
01:11
but I bet the actual answer would be nightmare or gorgeous.
01:16
Three, two, one, and go.
01:19
Oh, no.
01:20
You survived, honey.
01:21
Come back here.
01:23
Have you ever had a more dramatic balloon pop
01:25
with Marie Claire?
01:27
Favorite couch snack, wow.
01:29
I feel like the snacks at my house
01:30
are about to have a fight.
01:35
I love mini powdered donuts.
01:40
I love mini powdered donuts.
01:42
You know, it's like Michelle Obama says,
01:45
when they go low, we go high.
01:48
Last song you got stuck in your head.
01:49
Okay, this is a great question
01:50
because it literally just happened this morning.
01:52
It was, turn it up, turn it up, turn it upside down,
01:56
hear percussion, na, na, na, na, na.
01:59
It was that.
02:01
What song is that?
02:01
Well, obviously, it was Gloria Estefan,
02:05
Turn the Beat Around.
02:06
To hear percussion.
02:09
It was just like that.
02:10
I'm going this way.
02:12
I'm going, no, I'm not, I'm not.
02:16
You never know which way I'm gonna go, honey.
02:19
Word that makes you cringe.
02:21
Actually, bangs.
02:24
Bangs instead of fringe.
02:27
Bangs, yeah.
02:30
Call it fringe, it's much chicer.
02:32
Fringe is Emily in Paris
02:35
and bangs is like supermarket sweep,
02:38
but I guess it's supermarket sweep
02:40
in the sense like the old version
02:42
where there's like a lot of like,
02:44
you know, puffy 80s bangs.
02:48
Was that fun?
02:51
Wow.
02:52
I feel drunk with power when I do this.
02:54
Last book you read.
02:56
Not to be dumb, but it was my own
02:59
because I just recorded my audio book,
03:01
which is called Love That Story
03:02
and it's coming out in April
03:04
and I'm really excited about it.
03:05
And wha!
03:07
Are you gonna be okay?
03:08
Is your nervous system gonna be okay from all these pops?
03:11
How did I make my first dollar?
03:14
My auntie was a lawyer
03:16
and she, and in the early days of the internet,
03:18
she was looking for cases to brief
03:21
for her law class that she was teaching.
03:23
So I would like use the internet
03:26
to like find different cases out of Illinois
03:28
to like write for her law class.
03:29
And then I called myself a paralegal,
03:31
but really I was 11.
03:32
And that was the first dollar I made.
03:37
I did it.
03:38
Chocolate or cheese?
03:39
Both.
03:40
Here's the thing, as a non-binary person,
03:42
I find this question offensive, okay?
03:45
I'm gonna eat both.
03:46
Ah!
03:47
Wow.
03:48
Worked up a sweat on that one.
03:51
That almost even scared me.
03:53
It was so good.
03:53
What should every woman try at least once in her life?
03:58
Not listening to someone's advice.
04:01
I say, go for it.
04:02
Live your life.
04:03
Live your truth.
04:04
Ah!
04:05
This has been so much fun.
04:07
Can I just say that?
04:08
Oh my God.
04:09
Guess what question this is.
04:11
Name a movie that makes you cry.
04:13
Forrest Gump.
04:14
What doesn't make me cry about Forrest Gump?
04:19
Oh, what can you not miss on TV slash streamer?
04:22

04:24

04:25

04:26

04:27
you won't even regret it.
04:28
You're gonna have so much fun.
04:28
Ah!
04:29
I hope that was as good for you as it was for me.
04:31
That was so much from Marie Claire.
04:32
I love Playing Pop Quiz.
04:34

04:39
