Matt Rogers was very excited to prank call his friends, even if karma might come for him afterward. In this episode of “Phoning It In,” the comedian and actor gives Joel Kim Booster a platform to prove he’s the most loyal friend alive, convinces Jenna Bush Hager he’s locked in a dressing room at 30 Rock, tells Sarah Sherman he wants her to be his Las Culturistas co-host, and manages to pull off pranks on Ben Platt, Bowen Yang, Fraser Olender, Jake Shane, and Heather Gay along the way.

00:00No, no, no. What is he talking about?
00:02We have not been sexed yet.
00:03Just because it wasn't graphic doesn't mean it doesn't hurt me.
00:06Hi, I'm Matt Rogers, and this is Phoning It In with Elle.
00:11And this is my nightmare.
00:14Because I was really excited to come here,
00:17and then I was like, oh, wait, if this was done to me,
00:20I'd be horrified because I don't deal well with, like, pranks and stuff.
00:24And I feel like karmically, I'm asking for a hurtin'.
00:29But we're going to do it anyway.
00:32I'm going to look through my little black book here
00:34to see how we're going to be torturing people.
00:37Oh, my God.
00:38I'm going to call Jill Kim Booster and get this.
00:40Tell him that I accidentally hooked up with my cousin.
00:45Hi.
00:45Hi, I'm in hell.
00:47What's up?
00:48Oh, no.
00:49I'm in hell.
00:50Um, I've been in New York,
00:52so I'm, like, low-key, like, hitting up the guys that I, you know,
00:56that I've been talking to in New York.
00:57There were two, and one of them I just hooked up with last weekend.
01:01He told me today he did the 23andMe, and we're cousins.
01:05Shut the fuck up.
01:09My cousin fucked me.
01:11How close to cousins are you?
01:12Like, what's the...
01:13He's my first cousin on Katrina's side.
01:17He's literally, like...
01:18Your first cousin?
01:19Yeah, he's the first cousin.
01:20Well, okay, here's what I'll have to say about this.
01:23It's my most cancelable take, but I've said this for years.
01:27Gay people should be allowed to do incest.
01:29No questions asked.
01:31There's no shoulder coming from this.
01:33You didn't know.
01:34I just don't think there's anything wrong with it.
01:36Um, so you're saying that it's okay that I fucked my cousin because gay people should be able to do incest,
01:43and that's a take that you would stand by.
01:46Yep.
01:46It's what I said on podcast.
01:48It's what I said on stage.
01:49And I think you are in no position right now to appreciate it.
01:54So how would you feel about, um, you saying that take on, let's say, Elle's phoning it in?
02:02I'm so glad you gave me a platform to show what an incredible good friend I am.
02:06I was ready to stand ten toes down for you fucking your first cousin.
02:12I know.
02:13On Katrina's side, no less.
02:15Okay, love you.
02:16Okay, wow.
02:17He, he came in with a strong, you can fuck cousins.
02:22You know who just texted me?
02:23Jenna Bush Hager.
02:25Should I call her?
02:26Okay, this is good.
02:27This is good.
02:28Say you got locked in your dressing room at the Today Show.
02:34Hi.
02:35Hi.
02:36Oh my God.
02:36It's so funny that you just texted.
02:38This is absurd.
02:39I'm locked in my dress.
02:41My team left.
02:42I'm shut up.
02:43I know, Jenna.
02:44I'm like freaking out because I get claustrophobic.
02:46Wait, what?
02:47Can I call somebody for you?
02:49What do you do?
02:49I'm literally calling 911.
02:51They're not answering.
02:51Like, the police aren't answering.
02:53Wait.
02:53Are you locked in the dressing room at 30 Rock?
02:56I'm, I'm still in my little dressing room and I'm freaking out, Jenna.
03:00Like, I, I don't get like scared a lot, but like, I'm so scared I can't breathe.
03:05Okay, wait, hold on.
03:06Take a deep breath.
03:07I'm telling Lily right now because they need to send security over for you.
03:10Okay, wait.
03:10Stop, stop, stop.
03:11It's a, it's a prank call.
03:12You are such a gut face.
03:17I'm sitting here doing the L phoning it in prank calls and I was like, she just sent
03:22me this beautiful text about how we became genuine friends and like, I was like, let's
03:25get her.
03:26You fucking asshole.
03:30I was calling somebody to save you.
03:32Oh my God, I'm sweating.
03:34As much as I love to be there co-hosting with you.
03:37Oh my God.
03:39Okay, I love you a lot.
03:40Okay, love you.
03:41Bye.
03:44She was like, I'm calling someone.
03:45I said, I called the police.
03:47They're not answering.
03:50Let's see.
03:51I'm thinking, I'm thinking, I'm thinking.
03:53Say that Bowen Yang and I had a fight and that I want to look for a new co-host.
03:57And I think I'm going to call Sarah Sherman and tell her this.
04:00She's probably at work with Bowen right now and I would love to make that awkward.
04:04Okay, let's see.
04:05This is so...
04:10Good morning.
04:12Sarah.
04:13Hi.
04:14Good morning to you.
04:16First of all, I love you so much.
04:18Are you at work right now?
04:20I am walking to the train.
04:21You're walking to the train.
04:22Okay.
04:23Pull over for one sec because I have something kind of crazy to talk to you about.
04:27So Bowen doesn't know this yet.
04:29But I've been talking to the producers and we think it would be a good idea if the podcast
04:35went in a different direction.
04:37And we're thinking that you and I would be great co-hosts of Las Culturistas.
04:42And I just wanted to gauge your interest before you saw him because he doesn't know about this
04:46yet.
04:47You're a liar.
04:48Am I being April Fool?
04:50Why would you think that?
04:52Because you'd be excited to do it because I think it's a great idea for you.
04:55Sounds fucking amazing.
04:56Yeah?
04:57You want to be the host of Las CULCH?
04:59I can't.
05:00I can't.
05:01I can't.
05:02I can't.
05:03I can't.
05:04I can't.
05:05Could I?
05:06Why?
05:07Sarah, it's not real.
05:08It's the Elle phoning it in thing.
05:12But you would be great, but it's still Bow.
05:15Oh God.
05:16It killed me.
05:17Was I too corporate?
05:18It was kind of amazing.
05:21How coldly I was ready to like kill off my best friend in the world of podcasting.
05:25I was like, oh my God, I'm going to be so upset if I don't do it.
05:28That is how he would be.
05:31Okay.
05:32Bye.
05:33I love you so much.
05:34Bye.
05:35I love you.
05:36I'm going to call.
05:37Wait, you know what?
05:38Should we call Fraser?
05:39I'm going to call Fraser Olander and tell him that I got offered a full frontal role.
05:43Hey.
05:44Hey baby.
05:45I just got, hi.
05:46I just got the craziest audition and it's, I need to know like what you would do if you
05:54were me.
05:55What?
05:56They want me to come in fully nude.
06:01It's a movie with Jessica Chastain.
06:04Absolutely not.
06:05What'd you say?
06:06I really don't think that's a good idea though.
06:09You don't think it's a good idea for me to do a full frontal at this stage of my career?
06:13Is it a film?
06:14It's a film with Jessica Chastain.
06:17It has Oscar buzz.
06:18We haven't even started rolling, but it has Oscar buzz because it's Jessica Chastain.
06:22It's like a very intense 1940s drama, but it's about people.
06:25It's about the sexual underworld of crime.
06:29Absolutely not.
06:30I mean, listen, you do, I'll support you a hundred percent.
06:33Um, some things are not necessarily meant to be televised.
06:42That could be the British in this.
06:45Phrase.
06:46I'm calling you on the L phoning it in thing.
06:50Fuck you.
06:54Um, but I'm so pleased to hear that's not saying, my God.
06:58Yeah.
06:59No, I, I, I, if I were going to do a full frontal, it probably would be like a comedy.
07:04Okay.
07:05We'll still have to talk about that.
07:08Bye.
07:09Bye.
07:10Okay.
07:11Let's see.
07:12I'm going to call Jake Shane and just tell him I'm outside with a bunch of meat for a
07:18party that we're co-hosting.
07:20And this is going to be torture for him.
07:22So we promised Jake we'd stop doing this to him because we called him so many times.
07:27Hey Siri.
07:28Call Jake Shane.
07:29Oh my God.
07:30Jake, I'm here.
