Tina Fey, Amy Pohler’s Dish ‘SNL’ Day, Typecasting and Being on by Kevin Spacey

Tina Faye and Amy Poller took to the stage Saturday night at the YouTube Theater in Los Angeles for the final weekend of the In Conversation show to close out Netflix’s (and epic) 11-day premiere is a joke: the festival.

After a fun intro that named them stars. little mother, sisters and the future Top Gun: Maverick (Not true) After a short break from dancing, Faye Shaw began to deny various responsibilities.

“We are not comedians,” he said. “So remember, we’re talking tonight. We are in conversation. This is not a golden globe. If you come here to see the beautiful costumes and hear the warm impressions. The dog powerAsk the person next to you, I think.”

The person sitting next to you the hollywood reporter Most of the pre-show was devoted not to talking about Jane Champion westerns, but rather recapping the events leading up to Saturday, especially the night Dave Chapelle was attacked at the Hollywood Bowl when an audience member fell off the stage. . (The suspect, 23-year-old Isaiah Lee, was arrested and charged with four counts.) As a result, security was a noisy affair, and even Faim realized it on the spot.

“We’re not stand-ups, so if you show up with a stand-up tonight, find someone on Netflix and get your money back,” he continued. “We saw what happened to Capilla and I don’t care what they say, I didn’t like it. We were a little nervous about it, but I feel like the atmosphere here is good. I don’t think anyone will try this nonsense. ”

But just in case, Faye asked for help. “I felt like we needed someone to support here, so I wrote to Jamie Foxx because he and I were going to vote. soul “Together,” he said of the actor, who was on stage with Chapel at the time of the incident. “I asked him to see if he would come. He did not respond to the text. To protect him, I don’t think he gave me his real number. So we called another friend of ours to be on call tonight. ”

The joke was the ease of getting to know the muscle that passed through the main stage: 30 stones Alma Jack McBright. “It’s a great honor to be here,” he said. “But safety is important, so I need to know that if you act foolishly, I will deceive you. If you come to get them, I will get your sack of nuts.”

“I feel safer,” Peller said quietly. Because of this, McBright took the stage and let Faye and Pohler talk to him for the next 75 minutes. But first the format was revealed. In the gray chairs facing each other, with a simple device depicted in foliage and a floor lamp, they took turns holding pieces of paper scattered from different cups.

“We’re middle-aged white women, we love mugs,” joked Poller, before Faye explained that each mug contained Twitter questions: “Would you rather?” You can.

The first nonsense they chose suggested the question, “Who is the most famous person you’ve ever met?” Paul joked that he was interested in John McCain. “You’re his type,” Faye said. “Arizona blonde.”

So Faye said it’s time for one night SNL In days gone by, he felt the atmosphere of an unlikely suitor. “It’s a strange thing what happened to me. There once was a host SNL“So it was late to the party and Kevin Spacey was trying to hit me,” she said as she thought about love (from an embarrassed actress who came out as gay in 2017 over sexual harassment allegations). “I asked him, ‘Who is this for?’ Who is this little performance for?

They then talked about their love objects, saying they don’t have the same taste in men, except for one: John Travolta in the 1970s. “He can take it,” Poller said. A few minutes later, several members of the audience called out the names of other famous men. Harry Styles? Not really, Faye said. “He looks like a baby deer.” They decided on another, Henry Cavill. “Superman is our guy,” Poller said, adding, “This whole show is just about handsome guys.”

Another name that took the stage was John Ham, who bowed 30 stones Like Faye’s love interest Liz Lemon (idiot). After they both said that the actor is like a brother to them, Faye admitted that he should kiss her in the next film. (Although the title is not named, they are directed by John Slater Maggie Moore(s).)

When asked to say what he loves about each other, Poller immediately offered a compliment. “Tina speaks very well and calmly. “Women, you know what I’m talking about,” he explained. “There are people when something fails, you go and say, ‘something fails’, and they say: ‘Where? no? ᲠᲠ? Why? This pussy knows how to talk [quietly] After you. He looks like a spy. He’s so good. I trust you, Tininha. That’s what I love about you.”

Then a question arose asking them to identify their most embarrassing professional moment. Both came politely. SNL. Pohler, however, said his fair share was exciting because of the live aspect. During the episode hosted by Queen Latifah, Poller and Maya Rudolph performed backing vocals with the host. Seconds before the scene was broadcast live, the stage manager informed them that the music had stopped. “You’re swimming from your body and you’re in the rafters,” he explained about adjusting to this moment.

Faye’s most embarrassing moment also came at backup time. SNL But it had less to do with the music and more to do with the ensembles. When Andy Roddick performed, he had to dance in a dress and wear a short white jacket. “I didn’t want to dance behind him in the trench,” she admitted.

there was more SNL They spoke from the stage while reviewing what the crew’s schedule for the “Weekend Update” was like, in particular, how exciting it was to broadcast the Saturday morning news on the show that night. “We write our jokes in the morning,” Poller said. “Sometimes it shows. It was fun doing a live show and being in front of a live audience, it’s just that you can get involved no matter what happened that day. I remember back then there were a lot of last minute “upgrade” bits like “Who wants a set of high heels?”

If something big happened earlier in the day, they could have rushed their turn and defeated the famous hosts at Punchline late at night. “daily program There was so much force of nature at the time that you’d expect Saturday morning to be big news, so you said it first. On the contrary tonight’s show, [David Letterman] And I had filmed all the other shows.”

Speaking of images, Faye had a good laugh after she removed James Marsden’s name from the mug and shared that she once tried to put up with it with Pohler.

“You were a new loner and I knew he was alone,” Faye said of the actress, who also played her love interest. 30 stones. “we were [Emmys or Golden Globes] And we were going to the next party. I realized in my head that I was going to set you up. I’d go out and think, “Jimmy, you should come to our next party.” He’d say, “Oh, maybe I will,” and I’d say, “No, you should come to our next party.” Was drunk. Then he said, “I’m going to take off”. I realized in a drunken rage that he thought I was trying to seduce him, and I’m a married woman, and he’s a gentleman. I was not. ”

Nor did he try to write a love scene for himself with someone else. 30 stones Constellation, Matt Damon. She played the role of pilot Carol Burnett on the show and Faye explained why they never had a kissing scene. “I remember my neighbor from college texting me and saying, ‘I’m so mad at you, you should have texted him that he should kiss you.'” “I thought, ‘Do you understand how awful this is. he would be?’ He responded to NBC about the series he had created, written and hosted. TGS Show participant Liz Lemon. “Men do that and now they struggle because of it. That would be awful. ”

Poller disagreed. “That would be great. These are the benefits. These are the benefits.”

Faye continued cracking jokes and then explained the direction of Damon and his best friend, Ben Affleck. “It’s J.Crew sweaters. What I mean is that when you see them together, they are very much loved. When you go to J.Crew and it’s orange and Kelly green and peacock blue and you think, “This is so cute.” And then you go home and you think, now I have an orange sweater.

They were also supplied with a more industrial board. When Faye removed Steve Carell’s name from the cup, she offered a story about her film’s cover. Date.

We used to do interview after interview where everybody in North America, in Germany, in France, in England and everybody said, “So it was such an emotional experience for you to be with Mark.” [Wahlberg]. He had to show that Mark was very attracted to Mark. And they went on to tell Steve, “It was so embarrassing to have a man next to Mark Wahlberg, so handsome,” recalls Faye, who ended the show with a monologue. from 9 to 5, While Pohler drove San Telmo Fire). “Steve was a very good sportsman, but in the fifth country his ego was broken. Somehow it broke. The next thing he did was melachemcherI think that’s why.”

Faye, who asked most of the questions before Pohler dealt with all the prints and makeshift papers, also offered the papers he’d been recently offered. Specifically: “Professionally very successful [woman] Who can’t have a child and an orgasm. That’s what I’m designing. [Recently,] They offered me this movie, which is my nightmare, it’s also a good movie. It’s done and Catherine Hahn will be perfect. It’s about a woman who can’t feel an orgasm, and then in the movie she has a million. I don’t do that anywhere.”

After being offered the role, Faye called Poller and asked, “Why do I always get these roles of women who can’t have children or orgasms? Pohler replied, “I said 50 years later, you’re a rocker or a magician. One or the other, little one “Or maybe both?” horny witch? ”
