Action!
I’ve never done a Christmas movie and I’m so excited about this.
I have a lot.
People don’t really connect me with Christmas, they connect me
with like Ash Wednesday or you know I don’t know.
You’re doing great. Thank you.
And now we’re in Single All The Way.
Single All The Way, on Netflix.
The pairing of Kathy Najimy and Jennifer Coolidge as sisters
is not only Christmas perfection, it’s gay heaven.
No, I don’t know, do you know any gay people?
Well...
Hi, I think you’re very handsome.
Excuse me sorry. No honey, honey, wrong team.
Look over here. Oh look, Santa and he’s straight.
Watching and growing up with them, to get to work
with them is absolutely mind-blowing.
Shut up everybody. I’m gonna do the dialogue.
You know the thing about working with Jennifer Coolidge is that the process,
by which, she gets to the genius is fascinating.
The countless constellations.
You can see the gears turning in her head.
It needs to go to the (unintelligible) forever.
Sorry, um...
Oh sorry I have to say that thing about the speech.
I screwed up the line.
Cut, sorry.
But then something clicks in and it goes to a whole ‘nother level,
where you see the genius that is Jennifer, sort of, come through.
Something like that.
And watching Jennifer work with this young cast, I’ve learned so much.
Shut up!
Do you all want to see me lose it?
She’s literally the funniest person alive.
Kathy just did something, she says I’m the funniest person alive?
She just came in here and she had, you know, this long dress on or whatever
and she did a handstand and she had no underwear on, tell me if that isn’t funny.-
You can’t say without underwear anymore, you can’t say that.
Oh, I’m just saying it was very, it was a very funny, you know,
improv moment and especially because no one expected it.
I can do it again.
Please don’t.
Kathy is so original and talented, I’m just saying it
really loud so you can hear me Kathy.
Action.
(Laughter)
Oh, I think I just peed a little bit.
They broke the mold when they made Kathy.
You don’t find a gay person who doesn’t love Kathy Najimy in Sister Act,
or Kathy Najimy in Hocus Pocus.
Well I played her granddaughter in Hocus Pocus.
She was, you didn’t, she had a little wig, but she was, she was, she was great.
And now you’re gonna play my grandmother in the sequel, because our different
color skin we age differently, she ages a little quicker than I do because I have olive skin.
Her's is olive and it’s kind of a green olive, mine is golden.
It is, but what it used to be before the you know what.
♪ Christmas superstar, ooh fucking…sorry, Mrs. Claus…♪
Since this was not a short shoot I really wanted my husband Dan
to come with me and having him here was so great.
You were dancing with her husband last night.
Yeah he was singing.
What!? Are you freaking kidding me? Again?
Well…
I’m not gonna do this anymore this is crazy.
Wait you know what? He just he said he wanted to see what I looked like in skis.
♪ Netflix and chiling with me and watching the credits no one ever will see ♪
These two women have been queer fan favorites for their entire careers.
I love Grindr.
She’s amazing.
And now they’re together in a big, queer, Christmas, love story.
(Laughter)
C’mon it’s gay people and it’s Christmas.
Kathy Najimy ice skates.
If you could say my name if you could pronounce it right, that’d be great.
Nah-hee-me
Nah-hee-me?
I gotta go home.
