00:00I have an incredible collection of...
00:02I actually know what your most incredible collection of is,
00:04but it's not safe for this conversation, so...
00:06I want to play this game just in regular life.
00:13Hi, my name is Kirsten Vangisness.
00:15And Aisha Tyler, and...
00:16We are playing How Well Do You Know Your Co-Star with Marie Claire.
00:20My favorite movie ever is...
00:23A, Ghostbusters 2,
00:26B, Rushmore,
00:28or C, Undercover Brother.
00:33Oh my God, I'm already so delighted by this.
00:37That's a really tough one,
00:38but Ghostbusters 2 was not a good film,
00:41and Rushmore is like, you know, a great film,
00:46but just feels a little twee for you,
00:48so I'm going to go Undercover Brother.
00:52You are... It's very close, and it makes sense.
00:55You are wrong.
00:56It is the top three,
00:57so it was difficult.
00:59It was difficult.
01:00But Rushmore is what the inside of my brain looks like on a very good day.
01:05It is my favorite movie.
01:06My first job was...
01:08Oh.
01:08...selling Red Delicious apples at a flea market,
01:11selling amps to forlorn dads at Pacific Stereo,
01:14or as backup singer for Bay Area Supergroup,
01:18Tony, Tony, Tony.
01:19This is tricky, because you could do any of those.
01:22Very, very tricky.
01:24I want it to be three really badly.
01:26It's not three.
01:27It was amps.
01:29Damn it.
01:30All of these things also had, like, some basis in truth.
01:33I definitely was not a backup singer for Bay Area Supergroup,
01:35Tony, Tony, Tony.
01:36I did hang out in a Pacific Stereo quite a bit when I was a kid,
01:40because it was right next to my apartment building.
01:41Yes!
01:41And so, inadvertently, I might have been persuasive,
01:45but I sold apples at the flea market.
01:47I had a little stand when I was five,
01:49and I sold them for a quarter.
01:53I have an incredible collection of A, band pins,
01:56B, stickers, or C, cat toys.
01:59D, all of the above.
02:01Incredible.
02:01Oh, man.
02:02Stickers, band pins, or cat toys.
02:06Oh, this is so hard!
02:09I've never seen any of your band pins.
02:13I know you have a lot of band pins,
02:14but I don't feel like I've seen this collection.
02:16You do have an insane number of cat toys.
02:18I actually know what your most incredible collection of is,
02:20but it's not safe for this conversation.
02:22So, um, cat toys?
02:25Band pins.
02:26But, like, you can't walk around like...
02:27Why have I ever seen a band pin?
02:28Not one band pin.
02:29You have, you just don't look.
02:30They're always on a jacket.
02:32I've got, like, every band we've mentioned I have,
02:35including, like, random Saturday Night Live spoof bands
02:38that don't exist.
02:39My first concert was
02:40A, Tracy Chapman and the Indigo Girls,
02:43B, Prince and Vanity Six,
02:47or C, the Scorpions and Bon Jovi.
02:50Oh!
02:51Oh!
02:53I know for a fact
02:54that it has got to be...
02:59It's either B or C,
03:00and I'm gonna just lean into my hope and say B.
03:05I really wish I'd seen Prince and Vanity Six in concert.
03:07That would be a great show.
03:08I loved Prince.
03:09You saw Scorpio.
03:10You did.
03:11You saw Scorpio.
03:11I saw the Scorpio.
03:12I saw the Scorpio.
03:12I saw the Scorpio for Bon Jovi.
03:15My first concert was
03:16A, David Bowie,
03:19B, Whitney Houston,
03:21or C, Duran Duran.
03:24Oh, man, this is such a hard one
03:26because I know that you are a big fan of all of those people.
03:28I'm gonna say Duran Duran.
03:29I know you love Duran Duran.
03:30I know you've recently seen Duran Duran.
03:32That was my third concert.
03:33Duran Duran was my third concert with...
03:35He was doing my second concert.
03:36My first concert was
03:37David Bowie with Susie and the Banshees.
03:40Oh, that's amazing.
03:41Oh, I'm very jealous.
03:42I'm very, very jealous of you.
03:43I once traveled to which country
03:45for the sole purpose
03:46of eating in a restaurant?
03:48A, France,
03:50B, Ireland,
03:52C, Sweden.
03:54Sweden!
03:55Yeah, damn it all the...
03:56Yeah, you didn't know that one.
03:58Yeah, you didn't know that one.
03:58Cindy, I want to play this game
03:59just in regular life.
04:01You went there
04:01and you ate, like, organ meats.
04:03Yes, pigeon liver,
04:05tiny little pigeon livers
04:06and, like, weird fermented things.
04:08My first job was at
04:09A, the school library,
04:13B, fabrics and things,
04:16or C, Hoff's Hut restaurant hostess.
04:19Damn it all to hell.
04:23I wanted to be fabrics and things.
04:26I just wanted to be fabrics and things.
04:28Because you're a very crafty person.
04:30Even though it's probably not the answer,
04:31I'm going to stick with it.
04:31I'm getting a lot of nods out of you.
04:32No.
04:33I loved the ribbon so much.
04:35And I was so bad at it
04:37that when I would cut fabric,
04:38you'd get an extra, like, two feet
04:40because I just couldn't keep it straight.
04:42You're off.
04:42Which is an analogy for the rest of my life.
04:44I just couldn't keep it straight.
04:46So, yes, it was fabrics.
04:48Oh, my God.
04:48I can't believe I got that right.
04:49I have a tattoo of a constellation.
04:53Is it A, Virgo,
04:55B, Cassiopeia,
04:56or C, Ursa Major?
05:00I think it's Cassiopeia.
05:03That's a really good guess.
05:05Yeah, it's Ursa Major.
05:06Incorrect.
05:07It's Ursa Major.
05:08It's Ursa Major.
05:09Damn it.
05:10Damn it.
05:11Damn it.
05:12I really hate
05:13A, carrots,
05:15B, truffles,
05:17or C, sparkling water.
05:19I'm going to go with truffles.
05:21I have a gag reflex to carrots.
05:24Raw carrots.
05:25Really?
05:25I can have roasted carrots.
05:27I go on a mission to try to eat carrots,
05:29but actually, like, raw carrots,
05:31like, make me, like,
05:33I absolve you
05:34from any feeling of obligation
05:36to ever eat carrots.
05:37I don't know why you're on a mission to eat carrots.
05:38I feel like there are other vegetables
05:39in the vegetable kingdom.
05:40Have you seen my I-Class prescription?
05:42Like, it's too late, Kirsten.
05:45My favorite food is
05:48A, pasta,
05:50B, french fries,
05:51C, wine,
05:52which I consider a food.
05:54Wine.
05:56C, I drink it there
05:57because it's definitely french fries.
05:59It is?
05:59It's french fries, yes.
06:01I didn't know that.
06:02To the point that
06:03if you order french fries
06:03and you look away,
06:04you will not have any french fries
06:06if I'm at the table.
06:07Like, it's like a compulsion.
06:08We had all been talking
06:09and interacting
06:10and going out to dinner
06:11and doing all kinds of stuff
06:12while the show was away.
06:14But I just think everybody
06:15just came back, like,
06:16super fired up,
06:18even better at our jobs
06:20than we were before
06:21and with this just joyfulness
06:23of, like,
06:24we can't believe
06:25we get a second bite
06:26at this apple.
06:27So it's just been
06:28really easy
06:29and fun
06:30and electric
06:31and then it went really fast.
06:33It was this weird mix
06:34of, like, new
06:35but I know this,
06:37but you feel so completely safe
06:39with the people you're with.
06:40So for me,
06:41it just felt like
06:43it felt like that
06:44because it is
06:44a different show,
06:45but it's the same show.
06:47We have a lady event.
06:49We do a lady event.
06:50We do a lady event.
06:51It's called
06:51Hot Tub Wine Machine.
06:54And essentially,
06:55it's just four girls
06:56drinking wine
06:56in a hot tub
06:57for a very long time.
06:58It's awesome.
06:59We've sat in that,
07:00which this, I think,
07:01is unusual
07:01in Hollywood in general.
07:03We've sat there
07:03and been like,
07:04how much do you get paid?
07:05How much do you get paid?
07:06We are girls' girls
07:07and that is very important
07:08to me
07:09and it's a value
07:10I hold
07:11and I know
07:11Aisha holds the same
07:13and, like,
07:13we all hold that.
07:14So it's a really
07:16affirming place
07:17to be a lady.
07:18This has been Aisha Tyler
07:19and
07:19Kirsten Vangasness
