I want to win this. Something takes over. I'm less competitive now. Why? Kids. Yeah. I think maybe being competitive is genetic cuz my kids are like, they they they're competitive too and it turns out motherhood has often me and I like to watch them win. Yeah. My kids are very competitive too. My one daughter is, yeah. The other one doesn't really care. Just like it's fun. It's all good, but the other one really wants to win.

And have you seen when that movie trivia game where it's cards and they and it just asks you questions. Oh, yeah, like they have a bunch of quiz like sports and movies. And and I was just having one of those like runs where I couldn't miss. Yes. Like I just knew and I was like surprising myself and it was like a We know your stuff, you know movies. I didn't I mean, apparently I do and then I got to this one question and they were like, oh, okay. So, uh, Junior Executive assistance in Devil was broad. I'm just like Emily blunt. And they were like, no, it wasn't her it was me. So I was going to say, wait, that was me. That was me. but it was genuinely confused. I was like, but it's her. That was me, but I'm the that's wild. See when it comes to you. Yeah, so. Do you ever do you do kind of do a project and then you kind of block it out of your mind or no, you just it's just so happens. I don't know.

I love I love that it's become kind of one of those family touchstones so um, so anyway people quote it to me all the time and I don't know what they're talking about. I don't remember that. But Devil wears Prada, uh I I recently saw a photo of you and Anna Wintour. You made your kind of Broadway debut together in uh Gutenberg the musical. You guys stood up. There she is. Did did the crowd go nuts?
[2:51]So they so uh so by the way I have to say that's Josh Gad and that's Andrew Rales who are both dear friends and they're so they're so brilliant in the show. It was it was really next level. At the end of the show they invite two people up on stage and uh so they said my name first and the audience had a very nice reaction and then they said Anna's name and it was like rockstar. Really? Yeah rockstar. Everybody. Because you don't really see Anna do many things that are outside of her. Where a trucker hat. Exactly. You never see Anna wintour from Vogue wear a trucker hat. That's correct. Yeah, but everyone just went nuts. She's also a New York icon. Oh, yeah. So I think where if she shows up to the pizzeria. Yeah, she's New York icon. She's a worldwide icon. She's a worldwide. She's everything. Is she fun to to share the stage with? Yeah, yeah, really, really fun and just she she's she's been incredibly sweet to me and I'm very I'm just very grateful for the relationship. She's so cool. She's so cool. Do you get nervous around I I get a little nervous. I absolutely do. You do? Now I've less to lose because I'm never going to be on the cover of Vogue. So I don't I've nothing to worry about. But she likes me and we've been friends for a long time. So I I kind of I'm comfy around her. I don't mean to I I try to keep it comfy. I try to keep it cozy, but inside my heart is I just I just respect her so much. I'm just like that. She's bracing. I feel very comfortable around you. Yeah, I'm good. You should be I'm your bud. No, please. I I I I totally I got the respect and also the dig at the same time. So it was perfect. That's how well I know you. That's how cozy I am with you. Yeah, exactly. You know, I saw you by the way, uh I was going to say on Broadway, but it wasn't. It was Shakespeare in the park. You were there. Yeah, came to see you. Yeah, absolutely. I'm a big fan. Yeah. I feel really bad about the dig now. You better keep digging me. Are you kidding me? I have a please. If I don't laugh yourself then come on. I I I I saw you and it was at the 12th night at the Delacort theater. You were amazing. Yeah. Do you get nervous? Does anything go wrong? Nothing went wrong when I saw you but. Nothing went wrong. Thank goodness. No, you're good. Um because um so the Delacort Theater is an outdoor theater in Central Park. And so you're doing Shakespeare. Doing Shakespeare, and it rained almost every night. Oh, yeah. Um and so but it's kind of amazing cuz every night the last line of the the show, which we actually sang was, uh for the rain it raineth every day. And so the audience at that moment always burst out laughing and the whole show was so joyful. I had such a wonderful time. But one night something, I don't know if it went wrong, but something happened. And there so there's this scene my character Viola. She comes on to the stage and I knew that the line was funny, but I couldn't figure out how to make it funny. So every night I was just trying something. Just anything I could think of. And I'm just then, you know, go out there, audience wouldn't laugh and I was like tomorrow. Yeah. And then and then one night I went out there and I said the line and just the house went down. He killed it. Killed and I was like, oh, I found it. This is such a good feeling. I'm And I just like and so then of course I leaned into it because you do. And so I lean into it and I'm just the audience is losing their minds. I look into the wings the cast is losing their minds. I'm high-fiving myself in my head. I'm just like I've arrived. This is happening. Yes. And I get off stage and I'm just like, well, and they go, did you see the raccoons? And I'm like the the the what? And they just go behind you as soon as you came on stage a family of raccoons came out. They were so cute. Couldn't focus on the scene because the raccoons were so cute. So I was like, well, actually high-five to the raccoons. That's good. See that's you got to work with everybody. You got to work with you play well with others. Uh, let's talk about the idea of you. Oh my gosh, buddy, the trailer alone has got over 125 million views. It crushed. Broke the record. Most watched trailer of any streaming movie in history. Uh, can we set up what the movie's about? Oh, sure, sure. The the story is about Soline Marchon who is a woman and who lives in Silver Lake. She's a gallery owner. Uh, she's a mom and she's got this really wonderful life and she unexpectedly meets the lead singer of the biggest boy band in the world a 24-year-old young man named Hayes Campbell. Yeah. And he thinks she's kind of great. Yeah. And so the story is about how they fall in love. Yeah, because you're you're just a mom and you're chaperoning this thing and you go to this thing and then you see this boy band. I love hearing you describe my movie. Just a mom is this thing? I could do it. I just I just I just a mommy is chaperoning like a Coachella type of thing, like a giant outdoor festival thing. And and the biggest boy band in the world. And then the lead singer. Oh, yes, so my character, my daughter's off watching St. Vincent. And because she doesn't like the boy band anymore. She liked them in seventh grade, but um anyway, I have an backstage pass. So I'm uh all access thing I have to go to the bathroom. Somebody tells me where the trailers are I go and uh I I I I walk into the wrong trailer. Yeah. You walk and and the rest is is Hy jins and Su uh, the the remind me the actor the who plays the uh the lead singer. Nick gine. Oh, man. You guys have great chemistry. Did you know when he was auditioning you go, oh this the guy? Oh, yeah. Yeah. No, as soon as he I actually burst out laughing when he walked in because the has anybody here read the book? No, we don't read. Well you should have gone. We don't read. This is the Tonight Show. Yeah, you want to go. You want to go over to Stevie. You want to go to Steven Colbert if you want to get people that read books. That's lame.
[8:18]Lame. Well, you have awesome book in store for you. It's written by. lame. We do Audible here. We do that. We can do that count. I think it's time for you to dig to get new things. Yeah, I did. I was to get to you. Yeah, I did. Okay. So, uh, it's based on this book. What's the book? Yeah, Too late. Too late. but but this is based on the big best-selling book. Okay. Well the book does have a fan following. Um somewhere and um anyway and I think the book's incredible and Hayes Campbell is so beautifully written in the book and so we knew that we just really needed to find someone who's perfect and he walked in, he walked in. And I yeah, and I just thought, oh, that's Hayes Campbell. And that was almost two years ago. And now Nick and I have become really good friends. And it's yeah, it's open up in this beautiful way. Uh, it's really great. I want to show everyone a clip. Here's Ann Hathaway in the idea of you. Take a look.
[9:14]Hi, there. Are you a part of that ASMR community that gets off on listening to people pee? No. Because I don't think you can just go around assuming It's actually my trailer. What? It's not literally mine. You know, I don't own it. This is your trailer. Yeah, I'm in the band. We're performing on the main stage. I'm Haze Campbell. August Moon. Yeah.
