01:14Let's get to some news, everybody.
01:16Well, guys, according to a new poll,
01:18President Trump's approval rating just dropped to a record low.
01:21Ooh.
01:22Yeah, it's exciting.
01:25If it goes any lower, it'll match the actual price of gas.
01:27Oh!
01:28Yeah.
01:29We're going to meet at 19.
01:32Yep, Trump's approval rating is down to 34%.
01:35Wow.
01:36Yeah.
01:36Just to give you an idea,
01:37Jeffrey Epstein's at 35%.
01:41I don't get it.
01:42TSA lines are four hours long.
01:44Gas costs more than gold.
01:45We just started a war in the Middle East.
01:47I mean, what do people want from this guy?
01:51Meanwhile, the U.S. has now entered its fourth week
01:53in the war with Iran,
01:55and the White House still doesn't appear
01:56to have an exit strategy.
01:58It feels like being stuck in an escape room
02:00with your dumbest friends.
02:02Clue!
02:03Clue!
02:04We need a clue!
02:06Open the drawer.
02:06Open the drawer again.
02:08Clue!
02:08No, the other drawer.
02:11And today, Trump said the Strait of Hormuz
02:14could open very soon,
02:15and it might be jointly controlled by himself
02:17in the new Ayatollah.
02:19You know Trump's in control
02:21when he turns the whole Strait
02:22into a giant lazy river.
02:23Yeah.
02:24Meanwhile, Trump said the U.S.
02:26is talking with a top person in Iran,
02:28but not the supreme leader.
02:30Or as that's also known,
02:31not the top person.
02:35Yep, we're now in week four
02:36of the war in Iran,
02:37so we thought we'd catch you up
02:38on everything that's happened,
02:39and there's no better way
02:40to understand the situation
02:41than by using Trump's own words.
02:43He's always explaining things so clearly,
02:45so I'll show you what I mean.
02:48At first, Trump said
02:49that he'd defeat Iran very quickly,
02:51or as he put it...
02:52Bing, bing, bing, bing.
02:53She...
02:54It's God.
02:55It's amazing.
02:57He ordered a military campaign
02:59costing billions of dollars a day,
03:00or as he put it...
03:02Bing, bing, bing.
03:03Missile launch, missile launch.
03:05Bing, boom.
03:06Boom.
03:11But Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz,
03:14and gas prices began to skyrocket,
03:16or as he put it...
03:17They're like this,
03:18and we're like...
03:20Ding, boom.
03:21This is me.
03:22I hear it.
03:23Bing.
03:26Other countries are refusing to help,
03:28so the U.S. has to do all the heavy lifting,
03:30or as he put it...
03:38And now he's thinking about sending in troops,
03:41or as he put it...
03:42Ding, ding, ding.
03:43Hello?
03:45Where do I drop these people?
03:48So now here we are,
03:49four weeks in,
03:50and Trump still doesn't have an exit plan,
03:52or as he put it...
03:53Take me home, mommy.
03:54This is too tough for me.
03:55All right.
03:56That clears everything up.
04:03Bing, bing, bing, bing, boom, boom,
04:05bing, boom, boom, bing, bing, bing.
04:07Some more news today.
04:09Trump was in Memphis,
04:10and he visited Elvis' Graceland home.
04:13Yeah, and this is nice.
04:13In honor of Elvis Trump,
04:15forced Marco Rubio to wear a pair
04:16of oversized blue suede shoes.
04:22You guys see this?
04:24You guys see this?
04:25The commission of...
04:28Oh, my God.
04:29There we go.
04:30You guys see this?
04:31The Commission of Fine Arts just approved
04:32a commemorative gold coin of President Trump
04:34for the country's 250th anniversary.
04:37Can we see it?
04:38Ooh.
04:40That's heads, but can we see tails?
04:43Oh, there you go.
04:44Wow.
04:46All right.
04:49Bing, bing, boom.
04:51Meanwhile, the TSA staffing shortage
04:53is still causing crazy long security lines at airports.
04:56So, today, the Trump administration decided
04:58it'd be super helpful to send in ICE agents.
05:01For more on this, please welcome
05:03the Trump administration spokesman Tim Garrison.
05:07Thanks for having me.
05:09So, Tim, explain to us how putting ICE agents in airports
05:13will help long TSA lines.
05:15Well, it's simple, Jimmy.
05:17When you take something people hate
05:19and you add a second thing people hate,
05:22they cancel each other out,
05:24and you get something people love.
05:27Yeah, I-I don't know if that's true.
05:29Well, that's why we're adding ICE to the TSA.
05:32And it's also why we're putting the DMV
05:35in charge of the IRS.
05:36Wait, I-I-I'm sorry, but that is just a bad idea.
05:40Exactly!
05:41I mean, it is so bad, it's good!
05:44You know, like, uh, White Castle.
05:46Or the movie Mamma Mia!
05:48I-I'm pretty sure you're just making bad situations worse.
05:52Jimmy, have you ever imagined what it'd be like
05:54if your cable company was also your dentist?
05:58That's an actual nightmare I've actually had.
06:00Look, all-all people want is to be able to buy plane tickets
06:02and get on a plane.
06:04And that's exactly why we're sending in a new organization
06:07to help people buy plane tickets.
06:09Please don't say it.
06:11Ticketmaster!
06:11Okay, thank you very much.
06:13A Trump White House spokesman, everybody.
06:15Two wrongs make a right!
06:16That's not how the saying goes.
06:18Two wrongs, one right.
06:20Guys, listen to this. I read that Kim Jong-un
06:23just won 99.9% of the vote in North Korea's election.
06:28Oh!
06:28Over there, that's called a nail-biter.
06:31Kim was like, make it 99.9, because if it's 100,
06:33people might think it's rigged.
06:35Switching gears to some entertainment news,
06:37Project Hail Mary had a huge opening weekend,
06:40bringing in $140 million at the box office.
06:43The reviews are great, by the way.
06:45Check out what they say.
06:46For instance, this review called it
06:48two-and-a-half hours of nonstop drama.
06:50Oh, hang on.
06:51That's actually a review for every TSA line.
06:53Sorry.

06:58Yeah. Oh, actually, that's a review for
07:02Punch the Monkey and his girlfriend, Momo.
07:04Sorry. Let's get to the real reviews.

07:17Oh, hang on. That's about who's been on

07:45Finally, this review said...
07:49Hang on. That's about President Trump in Iran. Sorry.
07:51Interesting reviews.

08:01that would let senior homes serve alcohol without a permit.

14:23I cannot wait to go see this.
14:24I'm so excited. Yes.
14:25That's me in the little...
14:27I'm the little one on there.
14:28Oh, that's...
14:29Yeah. Of course.
14:30Wow, you look great.
14:31Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you look great, fantastic.
14:33I did, just for the play.
14:34I shrank and back, yeah.
14:36Your method, your method.
14:37You guys were in...
14:38This is you guys in the Larry Crown...
14:40Oh, yeah.
14:41Yeah. Tom Hanks back...
14:42We've played husband and wife before.
14:44Yeah.
14:44I thought it'd be fun.
14:45I found an old interview that you guys did together
14:48to promote Larry Crown.
14:49I thought it'd be fun if I asked you some of the questions
14:52from that interview, okay?
14:53But then you have to guess how the other person answered.
14:56Oh.
14:57Okay? Oh.
14:57Okay, let's try it.
14:59Oh, a young Taraji, okay.
15:00Young. I'm still young.
15:01Yeah, that's what I meant.
15:02That's what I meant, but younger.
15:04Younger.
15:05Tedrick, you gotta leave.
15:06Tedrick, you gotta leave.
15:07We gotta leave. Sorry, bud.
15:09You're in trouble.
15:13Oh, yeah, the Cedric that had hair.
15:15Oh, wow.
15:17Hey.
15:18There we go.
15:18I'm sorry. I love myself.
15:20Here we go.
15:22Your characters in the film, just so everyone know
15:25a little backstory, just won the lottery, all right?
15:27Oh, yeah.
15:27So here's one of the questions they asked.
15:28In 2011, they said, what's the first thing you would splurge on
15:32if you found out that you won the lottery?
15:34Taraji, what do you think Cedric said?
15:37Hmm.
15:37Probably a muscle car.
15:40Cedric said...
15:41A muscle car or some new golf clubs or something.
15:45Cedric said a sports car.
15:47That's correct.
15:48Oh, yeah.
15:48Good.
15:50Good.
15:51You said a sports car.
15:53I'm thinking Ferrari or I'd have to buy some more lottery tickets.
15:56Oh, right.
15:56We'd definitely go get some more lottery tickets.
15:58That's just good thinking right there.
16:00Do you have a sports car?
16:01Yes, yes.
16:02What do you do?
16:03Ferrari.
16:03Oh, you didn't get it.
16:04Come on, bud.
16:05He does that move.
16:06Now, Cedric, what do you think Taraji said?
16:08I think Taraji back then would have been like,
16:12she was going to buy, like, a beach house or something like that.
16:15What did I say?
16:16Taraji said, I blow it on shoes.
16:20Yeah, there you go, yeah.
16:21Winning.
16:23Here's another question you were asked.
16:25If you had never become an actor,
16:27what career would you have pursued?
16:29Cedric, what do you think Taraji said?
16:31I think Taraji would have been like a fifth-grade school teacher.
16:35Sit down.
16:36Y'all sit down somewhere.
16:39Sit down somewhere.
16:42No, I would have guessed this, by the way.
16:44Taraji said, hair, makeup, and fashion.
16:46That is you, of course.
16:47Yeah, come on.
16:48That's good.
16:49I mean, wow.
16:50Now, Taraji, what do you think Cedric said?
16:53What career would have you...
16:55A chef?
16:55Mmm.
16:56I've had your barbecue sauce, man.
16:57Yes.
16:58With Anthony Anderson's.
16:59Yeah.
16:59Oh, yeah, man.
17:00AC barbecue.
17:01That's why I said it.
17:02It's delicious.
17:03Thank you, brother.
17:04Yeah, man.
17:04No, Cedric said landscape design.
17:08Landscape?
17:08You have a green thumb?
17:10I've never grown anything in my life.
17:12Why did you say that, just for the publicity?
17:14But I, you know, at the time, I had to put in,
17:15I was putting in my yard at my house, and I was, like, into it.
17:18Like, you know, picking olive trees.
17:20I was picking other stuff.
17:21No, I was, like, into it.
17:23But you grew up.
17:24You're still there?
17:25I'm out of it.
17:26I'm out of it.
17:26You're out of it.
17:26Yeah, yeah, yeah.
17:27He's out of it.
17:28Let's talk about Joe Turner's come and gone.
17:30Congratulations on this.
17:32And you got August Wilson.
17:35We're in rehearsals right now, and you move into the theater
17:38for the first time at the Barrymore Theater,
17:39where the original Broadway production also ran.
17:42Yes.
17:42That's good vibes.
17:43That's good vibes.
17:44That's good vibes right there.
17:45How do we set up what this show is about?
17:47It's Turner the Citric.
17:48It's, like, 1911.
17:50It's about everybody that's moving from the South,
17:52migrating to the North.
17:54We own a boarding home.
17:57And it's all the people that's coming there looking
17:59for who they want to be, kind of leaving an old life,
18:03trying to find a new life.
18:04And it's all about that experience
18:05of who you want to become.
18:07And we deal with all the lives.
18:09Yeah.
18:10Like, after the Civil War, 1911.
18:12Slavery and...
18:13And so a lot of Black people were moving North
18:15for hope and jobs and things like that.
18:17And we encounter a lot of the people coming up North
18:20because they stay at our boarding house.
18:22Wow.
18:23And you've got a great director on that.
18:24We have a great director.
18:25Oh, man.
18:25We have an incredible cast.
18:27Listen, I know you guys know us
18:29because of what we've done in television and film.
18:32But this cat, you know, Ruben Santiago,
18:34is just an amazing Broadway actor in film and television.
18:37But these babies we have in this play,
18:40these new and up-and-coming, this next generation.
18:43Really?
18:44Really?
18:44Oh, they're going to blow you away.
18:45And the legendary Debbie Allen.
18:47And Debbie Allen, yeah.
18:49Debbie Allen is my favorite.
18:50Debbie Allen is amazing.
18:54You actually said it's like a full circle moment
18:55with you and Debbie Allen.
18:56Yeah, well, you know, because Debbie is a Howard alumni.
18:59I was pregnant in college,
19:01and I didn't know how I was going to finish.
19:04And Debbie Allen and Felicia Rashad
19:06started a scholarship in honor of their father.
19:09And you had to sing, dance, and act.
19:11And me, with my big old six-month pregnant self,
19:13I did some choreography.
19:14I sang a song, and I did a monologue, and I won.
19:17Yeah!
19:18Oh, man.
19:20I was able to finish school.
19:22And then cut to, I go to Hollywood,
19:24and she directs me in a sitcom.
19:26She played my lesbian mother
19:28when I did my first series regular on this show
19:31called The Division on Lifetime, if anybody ever remembers that,
19:34if you want to look at it.
19:37And then she now is directing me on Broadway,
19:41my first Broadway show.
19:43I mean, it just...
19:44I can't believe this is your first,
19:45because you were fantastic in Annie on NBC
19:48when they did a live Annie.
19:50Oh, yeah. Thank you, yeah.
19:50You were fantastic in that.
19:51I know you can sing and do everything.
19:54Congrats.
19:54You should be on Broadway.
19:56Cedric, what's it like being directed by Debbie Allen?
19:58I mean, like you say, she's a major choreographer,
20:00so that's, like, every day is warming up.
20:02It's like, you know, like, I don't know.
20:05Oh, wow.
20:06Oh, with the movement.
20:07Oh, wow, wow.
20:08Twerking.
20:09I said he'd be getting down in there.
20:10I'd be like, Debbie, no, like, hey, no.
20:15What does it mean to be in an August Wilson play?
20:18It's an honor.
20:19I mean, this is cool.
20:19It's such an honor.
20:20I, um, you know, I went to an HBCU,
20:23so we studied a lot of August Wilson,
20:25and I had the pleasure of meeting him.
20:27He came to my acting teacher my freshman year.
20:30Wow.
20:31Had him come and speak to the acting class.
20:34So I feel like this play chose me.
20:37I also did a radio reading of August Wilson's
20:40Come and Gone years ago.
20:42Wow.
20:42And so, again, like, it's just like I was meant to do this.
20:46It's going to be fantastic.
20:48And you also have some news tonight, right?
20:49Oh.
20:50Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
20:52He's extended already.
20:54Whoa!
20:55Come on, guys.
20:56Congratulations!
20:57Whoa, that's what we've got.
20:58Extended already.
20:59Yes.
21:00That's what I'm talking about.

21:14Stick around, everybody.
21:15What's up?
21:19Is there a camera that I can talk to straight into the camera?
21:21Try this camera.
21:22This one.
21:22Of course.
21:23Sure.
21:23I just want to let you know, all of you out there
21:25in TV land, all you bedwetters, I am one of you.
21:29You are not alone.
21:34I ain't concerned because I'm more concerned
21:37by what my kids learn, you know.
21:40Our next guest is a six-time Grammy-winning artist
21:44and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer that you know
21:46from the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
21:48His debut solo album, Honora, comes out this Friday.
21:52Please welcome Flea!
21:53Come on!
22:08You're in big trouble.
22:09You're in big trouble.
22:11That's how you do it!
22:13Come on!
22:14That's how you do it!
22:17Come on!
22:20Flea, ladies and gentlemen, Honora is at this Friday.
22:23Yeah, that's my mother-in-law, you know.
22:24Is that right?
22:25I have a very beautiful mother-in-law.
22:27Gorgeous, beautiful mother-in-law.
22:28Flea, well, let me take a look at you, bud.
22:30Oh, yeah.
22:31Oh, man.
22:31What happened to you?
22:32Well, it's very serious, Jimmy.
22:35Oh, wow.
22:36Oh, wow.
22:37A few days ago, I was walking down the street.
22:39I see this gang of thugs walking towards me.
22:42There's, like, five guys.
22:43They're all wearing leather jackets.
22:45Leather jackets?
22:46I saw them mugged, like, four old ladies.
22:48Oh, my gosh.
22:49I hate when old ladies get mugged.
22:50Oh, it's awful.
22:51They're carrying bats, knives, chains.
22:54Chains?
22:55Yeah, they look like the bad guys in Robocop.
22:57I saw them.
22:58They're coming towards me.
22:59You know, I'm very trained in martial arts my whole life.
23:02Wang Chung.
23:02We all know this.
23:03Yes, you studied Wang Chung, yes.
23:04Yeah, yeah, so I charged them.
23:07A flurry of flying kicks, round kicks.
23:09I jumped up into a tree, did a backflip,
23:11knocked the last guy out.
23:12That's what you're supposed to do.
23:14No, no, I had to.
23:14And they're all lying there on the ground,
23:17whimpering, crying, moaning, begging for mercy.
23:20At that moment, I realized that I had suffered a little nick,
23:23but justice had been done.
23:25Oh, my God.
23:26That's where it goes.
23:32Wow.
23:32Actually, Jimmy.
23:33Yeah?
23:34I have a confession to make.
23:36Oh, no.
23:36I made that story up.
23:38Oh, my gosh.
23:39You've got to be kidding me.
23:40No, I wanted to act tough.
23:41And, you know, actually what happened was,
23:43it was a bizarre peeing accident.
23:47I was doing a radio show for Apple Music the other day.
23:51Yeah?
23:51I was playing songs.
23:52I was playing a Lee Morgan song, a great song called Stop Start with Billy Higgins on drums.
23:56This is the real story.
23:57So, yeah, three minutes left in the song.
23:59I said, I've got to go pee.
24:00So, I have three minutes before I introduce the next tune.
24:02I jump up.
24:03I run down the hallway.
24:04I pee.
24:04I'm coming back.
24:05I'm wearing my reading glasses.
24:06I yell something to someone running.
24:08Full sprint down the hallway, mind you.
24:09And BAM!
24:11Smack into a glass door.
24:13Flat on my back.
24:14Blood spurting out of my head.
24:15I'm laying there.
24:16And I'm going, oh, man, I've got to do the Fallon show in a few days.
24:20I'll tell them I got in a fight.
24:24But, you know, strangely enough, this is not my first peeing accident.
24:30I want you to know that I peed the bed until I was 11 or 12 years old.
24:34Okay.
24:34Caused me no shortage of embarrassment.
24:37Yeah.
24:37But is there a camera that I can talk to straight into the camera?
24:39Try this camera.
24:40This one.
24:40Of course, sure.
24:41I just want to let you know, all of you out there in TV land, all you bed wetters,
24:46I am one of you.
24:47You are not alone.
24:50I know what it's like to sleep over at someone's house and you pee the bed and you wake up
24:57in a sea of urine.
24:58I know the embarrassment.
24:59I know the pain.
25:00I know the lack of self-esteem.
25:03And to bed wetters, I want you to know, you can be a bed wetter and you can make it
25:07all the way to the Jimmy Fallon mother .
25:19That's exactly right.
25:20Yeah.
25:21Tell them, bud.
25:22Yeah, man.
25:23Congratulations on this album.
25:25By the way, as soon as I found out that I heard that you were doing a solo album, a
25:29jazz
25:29album, I think I texted Quest.
25:31I'm like, yo, we got to get Flea on the show because we love you here so much.
25:34Yeah.
25:35I didn't know that you played the trumpet.
25:36I saw a video years ago of you playing with Nirvana.
25:40Yeah.
25:41Well, I played the trumpet when I was a little kid.
25:43It was a very, I was in love with it.
25:46I wanted to be Dizzy Gillespie when I grew up.
25:48Really?
25:48I met Dizzy Gillespie when I was a kid.
25:50He hugged me into his suit.
25:52I still remember the smell of his cologne, his nice suit and his kindness with me.
25:56Wow.
25:57I love Dizzy Gillespie.
25:59But that was your first, that was your first instrument before bass?
26:01That was my first trumpet.
26:02Yeah.
26:02First trumpet was my first instrument.
26:04And then when I got in high school, I met my friend Halal Slovak.
26:07He asked me to play bass in this rock band.
26:09Wow.
26:09And that became, you know, it took over my life.
26:12I put down the trumpet.
26:13Every once in a while, I'd pick it up and kind of want to play.
26:16You know, I'd pester Dave Guy for a lesson.
26:20Yeah, he knows how to do it, man.
26:21Yeah.
26:24So, you know, once in a while I'd do it, but about three years ago, and it's always
26:28alive in my head and my heart.
26:30For me, the jazz musicians, Clifford Brown, John Coltrane, Thelonious Monk, these are the
26:35guys that gave the greatest gift that this country ever gave to the world.
26:38They raised the bar, the cultural bar, so high that people like me are always yearning
26:43and trying to reach it all their lives.
26:45And a few years ago, I decided I'm just going to play trumpet every day, no matter what.
26:49And after a couple of years of doing it, I'm going to make a record.
26:52And what comes, comes.
26:53You know, it wasn't really about a means to an end.
26:56It was just the process, the learning process.
26:58And I'm so happy that I had the opportunity to do it.
27:01Good for you. This is great.
27:02This is good for keeping jazz alive.
27:05People listening to jazz music.
27:07Well, you know, I saw Marquise Hill last night at the Village Vanguard, and that dude
27:11is keeping jazz alive.
27:12Really?
27:13Yeah, yeah. It was serious business.
27:14That's what I'm talking about.
27:15You also have some great guest stars helping out on this album as well.
27:18Yeah, well, the band that I'm playing with this evening, DeAnthony Parks on drums, Jeff
27:22Parker on guitar, Anna Butters on bass, and what did I leave out?
27:28Jeff.
27:28Or Josh Johnson, who produced the record.
27:31Yeah.
27:31I'm playing Keys tonight.
27:34It's as much their record as it is my record.
27:36This is a lot of improvisation on this album, and they really helped me realize what I wanted
27:41to do meeting me and improvising in a real cosmic space.
27:44And I'm so grateful for their virtuosity and sensitivity.
27:48What jam are you playing tonight?
27:51We're going to play a song by Frank Ocean in the tradition of jazz music, playing great pop songs.
27:58Yeah.
27:59And, you know, not to diminish the song Thinking About You by Frank Ocean as simply a pop song.
28:04It's a very deep song.
28:05But that's what we're doing.
28:06I'm so happy for you.
28:08Yeah.
28:08Thanks for coming on.
28:09Thank you, man.
28:09I can't wait to watch it.
28:10Flea, everybody!
28:13Hot Honora comes out this Friday.
28:16We'll be right back with more Tonight Show.
28:18Stick around.
28:19Yeah, Morph Lee.
28:19Come on back!
28:20I'm a morpher.
28:21I'm a morpher.
28:22I swear to the deceptive.
28:23Beats are perfected.
28:24The hood is infested.
28:25Football's destruction.
28:27My vocal repression.
28:28Speak up by corruption.
28:38Our next guest is an Emmy-nominated actress who stars in the new series
28:43Something Very Bad is Going to Happen.
28:45All eight episodes premiered this Thursday on Netflix.
28:48Please welcome Camila Marrone!

29:11Great to see you!
29:12Oh, wow!
29:14Camila, welcome to the show.
29:16It's great to see you.
29:16We were table mates at some event or something.
29:20And you were very fun.
29:21Just the Met Gala.
29:22No big deal, yeah.
29:23She's very fun to sit with, by the way.
29:25We had a good table.
29:26Thanks, yeah.
29:26Who was it? Was it me, you?
29:27It was like Gracie Abrams.
29:29Dua Lipa.
29:29Dua Lipa.
29:31Michelle Williams.
29:32Yes!
29:33That was a fantastic table.
29:34Yeah, how was I there?
29:35How did I get in?
29:36It was you, me.
29:36What are you talking about?
29:37Everyone was staring at me like,
29:38I think you're at the wrong table.
29:40I was like, bye.
29:41Congrats.
29:42Daisy Jones and The Six.
29:44You know I'm a fan of that.
29:45So, congrats on Daisy Jones.
29:46I was gonna...
29:49If you haven't seen his face on,
29:50like a kind of a band in the 70s,
29:53a rock band.
29:53Did you learn any instruments?
29:56You know, I had a lot of FOMO
29:57because the whole band got to do a year of band practice.
30:00And they were all in quarantine together
30:02because it was a pandemic.
30:03And I'm like the only one
30:04that doesn't play any instruments in the show.
30:06I was like so desperate.
30:08I had so much FOMO.
30:09I was like, can I play the tambourine in the back?
30:11Can I play with an egg shaker?
30:12Like give me an instrument.
30:14An egg shaker.
30:15I was so desperate.
30:16I learned how to play guitar
30:17so that when we started filming,
30:18I could like, you know, vibe out with the band.
30:20And they were so tired of it at that point.
30:22They were like, we're not,
30:23we don't need to sing and play guitar.
30:24We're good.
30:25Oh my God.
30:26I'm like the desperate outsider.
30:27Let's talk about your new show.
30:29It's called Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen.
30:31This is exciting.
30:32This is the first show that the Duffer Brothers
30:34have produced since Stranger Things.
30:36It's, yeah, this is, I am, I am freaking out.
30:40Yeah.
30:41And you star alongside Adam DeMarco.
30:43Adam DeMarco, who I know from White Lotus.
30:44We love him.
30:45White Lotus.
30:46Yeah.
30:47Overcompensating.
30:47Yes, he's fantastic.
30:49You play a couple who are about to get married.
30:51Mm-hmm.
30:52That's the way I'll kind of set it up.
30:53I mean, yeah, that's a nice way of saying it.
30:56Thank you, yeah.
30:57Something Very Bad Does Happen.
30:58It's in the title.
30:59It's frightening and it's a horror.
31:01But did you guys know each other before filming?
31:03No, we actually didn't meet until the first day of rehearsal in the Love Cave,
31:06which if you watch the show, you'll understand what that is.
31:09Okay.
31:09And we just got along right away because he loves a bit and I love a bit.
31:14Love a bit.
31:14And so we've been in a bit for like a year and a half since we started the show.
31:19What bits do you do?
31:20Give me.
31:20Well, he's from Canada and he taught me about Toronto slang, but if you're from Toronto,
31:26you say Toronto, which I didn't know.
31:28And so he taught me about this like Toronto, Toronto slang.
31:32And it's really interesting and I would like to quiz you on it to see if you knew.
31:36I'm pretty good at these.
31:38So yeah, I'm going to be good.
31:38Because I thought I was Gen Z and like cool and with the kids.
31:40I am not cool and with the kids.
31:42Yes.
31:42Oh, come on.
31:43No, the kids are cool.
31:44All right, let's see.
31:45Let's do the quiz.
31:45Let's see how I do.
31:46All right.
31:47Give me the.
31:47Yeah.
31:48This is Toronto slang.
31:49Toronto slang.
31:50Mm-hmm.
31:52Tutu's my word, Kroski.
31:55Tutu's my word, Kroski?
31:56Like, tutu's my word, Kroski.
31:59Tutu's my word, Kroski.
32:01Yeah.
32:02Okay, so it's got to be.
32:03Oh, you're giving me multiple times.
32:04Yeah, I'm going to give you multiple times.
32:04This will help because I have no idea what you mean.
32:06Okay, okay.
32:07It either can mean I'm being honest, bro, or you should double check, dude.
32:14Tutu's my word, Kroski.
32:16Tutu's my word, Kroski.
32:17Just say it like you would say to me, like, yeah, tutu's my word, Kroski.
32:20Tutu's my word, Kroski.
32:21Yeah, so which one?
32:22I'm being honest?
32:23I'm being honest.
32:23Or you should double check, dude.
32:24You should double check, dude.
32:25Wrong.
32:26Okay, all right, sorry.
32:28This game, there's right and wrong answers.
32:29Yeah, there's right and wrong.
32:30Okay.
32:30How would you use that in a sentence?
32:32Tutu's my word.
32:33A phrase, I'm sorry.
32:33I mean, I'd be like...
32:36Yeah, like, tutu's my word, Kroski.
32:38I'm not...
32:39No, no, what would the question be?
32:40You can't ask me all that.
32:41I'm just...
32:42Okay, sorry, all right, sorry, sorry, sorry.
32:44A lot of rules.
32:45A lot of rules with this game.
32:45This is like touchy territory.
32:47I'm not trying to get the young kids, all right?
32:49Okay, yeah, yeah.
32:50Okay.
32:51That's too maza a lie?
32:56This is real, guys.
32:57That's too maza a lie?
32:58That's too maza a lie.
33:00That's too maza a lie?
33:01Okay.
33:01Yeah.
33:03That's insane.
33:04Am I right?
33:06Or...
33:06Ugh, you're so cheesy.
33:08Are you for real?
33:09Uh, that's insane.
33:11Yes!
33:12Yes!
33:13Yes!
33:15Yeah!
33:16Uh, how do I set up where something very bad is going to happen?
33:21Okay, how do we...
33:22How do we talk about what it's about?
33:23Okay, so I play Rachel Harkin, who is five days away from her wedding,
33:27and she's meeting her fiancé's family for the first time.
33:31Sounds like fun.
33:31Yeah, except for she has a feeling that something very bad is going to happen,
33:34and she's right, and you guys are never going to guess what it is,
33:38and you just have to wait and watch.
33:39Ooh!
33:40I want to show a clip.
33:42Here's Camila Marrone, and something very bad is going to happen.
33:45Take a look.
33:46I don't know.
33:48I do feel sort of like I'm having deja vu, but, like, not the good kind.
33:52Like, I feel something so familiar, and I don't know how to describe it except just dread.
33:57Like, when you just, like, you just know something bad's gonna happen, you just know,
34:00and I've been feeling that way more and more and more and more and more since we got here,
34:06and then now that we're here, I just, like, I don't know.
34:09I just, like, I really, I really feel it now.
34:11Hey, come here.
34:12Come here.
34:12Rachel.
34:13Baby, come here.
34:14It's okay.
34:16I'm sorry.
34:18I'm sorry.
34:18I...
34:19I get it.
34:21Hey, I've been feeling it, too.
34:22I've been feeling off.
34:24I completely understand.
34:27Ooh!
