00:05No, but wouldn't that be nice?
00:12Hey, I'm Jen Aniston.
00:13And I'm Reese Witherspoon.
00:15And we are here to play a game for Vanity Fair.
00:17It's called Quiz Show.
00:18We're going to see how well our cast members,
00:20how well we know each other.
00:24Who is my goddaughter?
00:28I know.
00:29Well, you have more than one.
00:30I have tons.
00:31Yeah.
00:32I've got one.
00:33But you went first.
00:34Okay, I'm going to say Coco Arquette.
00:36Hey!
00:39Whoa!
00:40I can't get an additional one.
00:41I'd love to know who else.
00:42Give me the other one.
00:43Mark Duplass.
00:45Oh, yes!
00:46That's it.
00:47Turn it around.
00:48Turn it around.
00:51Coco.
00:52Told you.
00:53Hold on.
00:54I'm trying to get...
00:55Where's my buzzer, by the way?
00:56Oh, Lord.
00:57How do I like to unwind after a long day on set?
01:02Is there one answer?
01:03Half a bottle of wine, snuggling with your dog,
01:05learning tomorrow's lines.
01:08Mmm.
01:09I'm going to say a tequila soda,
01:11snuggle with your dog's learning.
01:15I'm going to say a workout and dinner with friends.
01:18Mmm.
01:19And then a full bottle.
01:20It's a play with my dogs and watch the sunset.
01:22Aww.
01:23So we each get like half a point.
01:24Yeah.
01:25Put your dogs in there.
01:26Yeah.
01:27I think that's a win.
01:28I think that's beautiful.
01:29You do have a beautiful sunset.
01:30Yeah.
01:31Watching the sunset is drinking.
01:33I mean, it's fascinating.
01:34We know.
01:36What Guinness World Record do I hold?
01:41Whoa.
01:42Whoa.
01:43Oh.
01:44What Guinness...
01:45Oh, okay.
01:46I'm going to say something.
01:47I know.
01:48I think I have a guess.
01:49Can I give it to you?
01:50Or no, I guess...
01:51No, you should.
01:52Okay, I have a guess.
01:53Am I right?
01:54Highest paid TV actress of all time.
01:56No, but wouldn't that be nice?
01:59Reese, sorry.
02:00Most covers of a magazine.
02:02Oh.
02:03Oh.
02:04You know, Reese, what you should say is,
02:06when she says she wasn't the highest paid actress,
02:08you go,
02:09that's because it's me.
02:10Oh, good call.
02:11Oh, good call.
02:12That's right.
02:13Oh, that's right.
02:14That's not true either.
02:15That's not true either.
02:16Most rescue dog posts on Instagram.
02:20By the way, if there is...
02:23Only to be met by you.
02:24Only half a second, yeah.
02:25By the way, in your very close second.
02:27Yeah.
02:28No, it was...
02:29It's the...
02:30Instagram followers.
02:32Oh, yes!
02:33Oh!
02:34In a day or something, right?
02:36Something.
02:37She crashed Instagram.
02:38Yeah.
02:39Something like that.
02:40I remember when you signed up for Instagram,
02:41and you got like 40 million followers in one day.
02:43You did.
02:44It was insane.
02:45It was crazy.
02:46And I thought I'd have none.
02:47And I have a framed plaque.
02:49Oh.
02:50Wow.
02:51Yeah.
02:52You impressed by me now?
02:53Yes.
02:54Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:55Don't you like me now?
02:56Almost as good as being the highest paid actress.
03:00Very close.
03:01Who from the cast would I call to get me out of a pickle?
03:06Yeah.
03:07And then that's it.
03:08Mm-hmm.
03:09Yeah.
03:10Mm-hmm.
03:11Mm-mm.
03:12In the cast.
03:13Uh, no.
03:14Reese.
03:15I know.
03:16It's Reese.
03:17Yeah.
03:18Yeah.
03:19Our dubs.
03:20Yeah.
03:21There you go.
03:22It's a big cast to go through, too.
03:24It is a big cast to go through.
03:25Most definitely.
03:26Your pickle...
03:27You'd go for her for your pickle.
03:28Yeah.
03:30Okay.
03:31What is my real name?
03:33Oh.
03:34Oh my God!
03:35What in the hell?
03:37Okay.
03:38Yes.
03:39What do you mean?
03:40You got...
03:41Laura Jean.
03:42Yes, she got it.
03:43Oh my...
03:44Laura Jean?
03:45That's my real name.
03:46It's all a ruse?
03:47LJ?
03:48Yeah.
03:49What the hell?
03:50Laura Jean.
03:51Where is Reese in that?
03:53Laura Jean Reese Witherspoon.
03:55That's my real name.
03:56You've got four of them.
03:57Oh, you've got four of them.
03:58Oh, you've got four of them.
03:59Okay.
04:00I got it.
04:01I got it.
04:02Okay.
04:03Next.
04:04What is my favorite Southern saying?
04:05It's a TV show, y'all.
04:09I'm listening to see how many words you're writing and trying to get better...
04:13It's a very long word.
04:15What's your favorite saying?
04:17I remember one that you used a lot on season one and a little bit on season two, which
04:23was, can't be sad on a peach farm, y'all.
04:26That is something I would sell all the time.
04:29Remember that?
04:30This is when Reese was just like, I think I'm going to get out of this business.
04:33What are you going to do?
04:34She's like, I'm going to buy a peach farm.
04:35We're like, really?
04:36She's like, can't be sad on a peach farm, y'all.
04:39That's so true.
04:40Because I want to have a business called Reese's Peaches.
04:43Reese's Peaches.
04:44Reese's Peaches.
04:45Come on.
04:46That's too good.
04:47Okay.
04:48Now my favorite Southern saying is, good Lord willing and the Craig don't rise.
04:52Wait, say it again.
04:53Good Lord willing and the Craig don't rise.
04:56And only Mark would know what that means.
04:57I got you.
04:58I got you.
04:59Because these are Louisiana.
05:00I got you.
05:01I got you.
05:02Okay.
05:03What cast member is most likely to make me laugh in the middle of a scene?
05:05Oh, come on.
05:06That's obvious.
05:07No.
05:08No?
05:09No.
05:10Hold on.
05:11Well, you go if you got it.
05:12Am I allowed to say?
05:13Yeah, make a guess.
05:14Tig Notaro.
05:15Oh, that's a good guess.
05:16Yeah.
05:17Look at her.
05:18She's like, Tig.
05:19Yeah, it's Tiggy.
05:20Yeah.
05:21That's good.
05:22No Taro.
05:23Sorry.
05:24No Taro.
05:25Yes.
05:26Tiggy Tigs.
05:27Tiggles.

05:33What would it be?
05:36Librarian?
05:37Other than your many careers?
05:39I know.
05:40I was just going to say you have so many.

05:48You're a director.
05:49You're an actor.
05:50You're a writer.

05:55I'm going to say musician.
05:56Boom.
05:57Done.
05:58Musician.
05:59Musician.
06:00Failed rock star at your service.
06:02I do not know you people.
06:05I was a.
06:06I had this really unique.
06:09Billy.
06:10I was called Mark Duplass.
06:12I was a singer songwriter in the late 90s.
06:15I lived out of my van.
06:16Was that your stage name?
06:17It was my stage name.
06:18Yep.
06:19Because my real name is Laura Jean Witherspoon.
06:21And my nickname was the Indigo Boy.
06:26I was a very, very earnest singer songwriter.
06:29You guys.
06:30I had to go for it.
06:31There's no place for irony.
06:33I had no idea.
06:34Oh yes.
06:35But wait.
06:36Were you really called Ian?
06:37I knew you were a musician.
06:38I had sideburns.
06:39I had a solo patch.
06:40And I had a lot of Tevis.
06:41And it's okay.
06:42If you don't show us a picture from this period of your life at some point in the next week.
06:48They're burned.
06:49They are?
06:50No.
06:51Okay.
06:52What is my idea of a perfect day off?
06:55Oh, a hundred beers by the pool.
06:57No, that is the Billy Crudo.
06:59Oh yeah.
07:00That's right.
07:01That's mine.
07:02Season one.
07:03I was asking him what he wanted to do for vacation.
07:04He was telling me that, you know, his partner likes to, you know, go beaches, do these adventures.
07:10And he said, I'm more of like a hundred beers by the pool kind of guy.
07:16And I've never forgotten it.
07:18A hundred.
07:19A hundred beers by the pool.
07:20Yes.
07:21I've heard you say this, which was not similar to what, it's, hmm.
07:28I'm going to say something with the dogs and the girls, your daughters and your adorable wife.
07:35I'm going to stop you right there.
07:36Dogs and family.
07:37Dogs and family.
07:38There you go.
07:39Jen and Billy and myself are really self-centered and Reese is the only one paying attention to us.
07:45Cause you're getting all of these right.
07:47This is incredible.
07:48Oh my God.
07:49Okay.
07:50What reality show would I excel in?
07:53Reality show.
07:54I'm just going to.
07:55A hundred thousand dollar pyramid.
07:57Well, that's a game show.
07:58Sorry.
07:59I thought you said game show.
08:00I'm not even listening, let alone know you.
08:01That is true.
08:02Real housewives.
08:03What reality show would I excel in?
08:05I'm going to say amazing race.
08:07Wait, what are some other reality shows?
08:11Reese, you're wrong.
08:12Okay.
08:13You don't know me at all.
08:14Survivor.
08:15No, me.
08:16There you go.
08:17Survivor.
08:18Yay.
08:19Billy, you got one.
08:20I do know you guys.
08:21Billy's on the board.
08:22It is one of my favorites.
08:23There's no way you're going to get.
08:25God.
08:26Oh, this is interesting.
08:27I don't know.
08:28I'm going to pack it in my bag.
08:29Okay.
08:30This is kind of putting you guys to a test.
08:31I don't like this, but what was the name of the first feature film I made with my brother?
08:35Oh, sweet mother of God.
08:37Your sister's sister.
08:39Four years too late.
08:40I'll give you a hint.
08:41Okay.
08:42It has something to do with what I'm sitting in right now.
08:44It was a chair.
08:46The puffy chair.
08:48Puffy chair?
08:49This was our $10,000 Sundance feature film that started everything for us.
08:54Bill.
08:55Yay.
08:56Get ready to get blistered here.
08:58Yeah.
08:59If I could choose anyone to play me in a biopic, who would it be?
09:02I think I know who it is.
09:03Dead or alive.
09:04Dead or alive.
09:05Dead or alive.
09:06Alive.
09:07And crushing it.
09:08Sam Rockwell.
09:09No.
09:10Oh, that's pretty good.
09:11Oh.
09:12Boy, I'd love to see his version of me.
09:14It'd be a lot cooler.
09:15William Atticus Parker?
09:17Oh, yeah.
09:18Well, he's too tall.
09:19Okay.
09:20That's my son.
09:21By a foot.
09:22He's too tall.
09:23Oh.
09:24Yes.
09:25I can see that.
09:26He's been talking about how he wants to kind of bulk up for a role.
09:29Yeah.
09:30And so I think that could be good for him.
09:31Who is my all-time favorite actor?
09:37It's gotta be theater.
09:38It's gotta be, you know, he loves that theater stuff, right?
09:41Yeah, he does.
09:42He loves theater.
09:43He loves theater.
09:44I'm gonna say John Gilgood.
09:45Mmm.
09:46That's just the way you said it.
09:47John Gilgood.
09:48John Gilgood.
09:49Or Sam Rockwell.
09:50I mean, John, no one has done so much Shakespeare, but also played the funny butler on Arthur.
09:56Yes.
09:57He really did it all.
09:58It's a woman?
09:59It is.
10:00Okay.
10:01It's a woman.
10:02It is.
10:03It is.
10:04I'm rethinking things now.
10:07That's a great-
10:08Meryl.
10:09Yes, it is.
10:10Meryl Streep.
10:11Right there.
10:12Well done, Jen.
10:13Great.
10:14Okay.
10:15What is my favorite date night?
10:17100 beers by the pool.
10:20200 beers.
10:21200 beers by the pool.
10:22It's a date night.
10:23Sorry.
10:24I didn't figure that could constitute as a date.
10:26It will now.
10:27I think, I think he likes to go to the theater.
10:32Or is it a-
10:33I'm wrong.
10:34A baseball game?
10:36Something in New York.
10:37Something like a New York Italian night.
10:39Close.
10:40Sushi and a play.
10:42Sushi and a play.
10:43I got close.
10:44I got close.
10:45These two, it's a dinner and a play.
10:47And if you merge those two, they would have gotten the perfect answer.
10:50Give us a tough one.
10:51Okay.
10:52Um, what is my weirdest onset habit?
10:55Oh.
10:56Uh, you, um, sit in the green room with your headphones and your iPad going over and over
11:04the crazy Cory monologues so that you can say them quickly without pausing.
11:13Apparently there's something else happening on set that we don't know about.
11:16Say the question again.
11:17Do you talk to yourself?
11:18What is my weirdest onset habit?
11:19What did you say?
11:20You talk to yourself?
11:21Okay.
11:22It's close.
11:23It's like, I didn't know I did that.
11:24Uh, weirdest onset habit.
11:26I don't think you have any weird habits.
11:28I said not talking to anyone.
11:29Oh, I was going to say that.
11:30Yeah.
11:31But I didn't because-
11:32In a social environment, that's pretty weird.
11:34But it's for the reasons Mark said.
11:36I'll never forget the-
11:37Wow, you do.
11:38You talk to people.
11:39I do talk to people.
11:40Yes, we talk all the time.
11:41There wasn't-
11:42But you are memorizing a ton of dialogue.
11:44At all times.
11:45I'm terrified.
11:46We went to visit Billy and Mark on the last night of shooting season one.
11:49Oh, yes.
11:50And we went over the-
11:52Oh, yeah.
11:53We went across.
11:54We were shooting on the Hudson.
11:55We went over to Brooklyn.
11:56Dumba.
11:57And I see Mark.
11:58And then I see Billy.
11:59I see both of them.
12:01Mark comes towards us and Billy just runs away.
12:04Literally was like, and out of here.
12:07That was the monologue about the Serenity thing.
12:09Because your monologue was literally days long.
12:13What was the hardest thing, hardest monologue you've had to do on Morning Show?
12:18Do you have one that like, was your albatross-
12:22Well, the one that in the first season Mimi was doing a oner on.
12:27And I had to pop out from behind a flat and tell him something about seals and oil.
12:32And we're going to clean the seals after the oil spill.
12:35And that was an added scene.
12:37And so the combination of having to do the oner-
12:40And Mark was crushing it, by the way.
12:41He's walking through the bullpen, giving orders to everybody.
12:44And I can feel that train coming.
12:46And I'm just flop sweat everywhere.
12:48Then turns around on me and I go, no, I don't have anything.
12:52It'll be fine.
12:53It'll be fine.
12:54We'll do it again.
12:55Take two.
12:56That was one.
12:57Is it sticking your mind?
12:58Yeah.
12:59But you forgot about it, right?
13:00No, I still remember it.
13:01Yeah.
13:02The actual monologue?
13:03Yeah, some of it, yeah.
13:04Who do you think won?
13:05I think Rhys won.
13:06Rhys, absolutely.
13:07I think Rhys won.
13:08I got a couple of half points, though.
13:09Thanks for playing and watching the quiz show.
13:12We're out.
13:13Yeah, I thought that was important with the pen.
13:15Look at that move.
