I like this outfit yeah that's like my
fembot dress oh yeah this a little bit
robot Elizabeth you were just an
Australia correct yes I'm shooting the
Invisible Man there oh this is a movie
yes oh that's cool
is it the sci-fi Invisible Man Gotha
horror Invisible Man yeah yeah a very
scary movie oh nice all right
I don't play The Invisible Man you do
not know spoiler the who does put any
visible man is that Oliver Jackson :
okay yeah does he have to be there the
whole time even though he be Invisible
Man
but you celebrated a birthday there yes
I did I just turned 37 I think last week
what's your general what is your general
feeling on birthdays and the celebration
I don't I'm not a big birthday person
since I was like 10 years old I'm kind
of good I just want to be low-key about
it I know but I don't know if this ever
happened to you but if you don't say
anything if nobody knows it's your
birthday it's kind of sad so I want like
some celebration but I don't want it to
be too much I like to set my
expectations really low the people
around you kind of have to figure out
they have to gauge what you want yeah
yeah but if you set your expectations
low that every time someone wishes you
happy birthday you're excited yeah
that's true yeah so did anyone wish you
a happy boy I was working that day I was
shooting so I had like a hundred people
who had to wish me happy birthday
you brought a photograph and I assume
this what we're seeing here is a
birthday present is it yes that is
wall-e the wombat I know that's a
stuffed animal wombat is an Australian
animal and I my dresser and assistant
gave that to me and I decided to carry
it around as my emotional support well
that is like their version of a Vermont
Teddy Bear right the wombat
I realized that I had just started work
on this movie it was like the second
week and here I was carrying around this
wombat stuffed animal but I thought it
was funny but nobody really knows me so
they I don't think they knew that I
thought it was funny
so I think like the crew was just
looking at me and look at your co-star
Oliver sitting in the chair I want to
ask you about something and I'm sure you
remember this but I wonder how much of
it you remember so when I was a kid
growing up there's a show circus of the
stars oh yeah and not only in it was the
early early 70s I think uh-huh and oh no
the early eighties rather okay and not
only would i watch this show we would go
see it because we I lived in Las Vegas
so we'd see like you know Brooke Shields
would be on it like a tightrope and like
all sorts of weird stuff like like Linda
Blair would be like taming lions and
that's right now they redid this show in
the in the 90s and you were on it yes I
was yes and we have the tape of you of
course yes because why else would we
bring it up and what a cherish talk-show
tradition to find an embarrassing tape
very young age and to show it like we're
gonna do right now the Emmy
award-winning series picket fences

[Applause]
is a trick those legs look so natural
whose idea was it have a nine-year-old
girl put her legs behind her head on
television so weird I was like circus of
the stars but I wasn't famous nine years
old nobody knew who I was
no I remember about it is I literally
haven't seen that that's amazing was
that they wanted me to do something like
a trapeze or like a tightrope or
something like that I'm the least
adventurous person there you didn't want
to get up on the I don't even like
hiking like it's that's too much so I
think that was like the only thing that
they could come up with that I would do
and it was that your dog or was that a
rental no I think it was a red it was a
rental oh wow that's something else you
have never seen that I've never seen
that even when it was on TV and and
gather around the set I don't think so
oh you didn't Wow I'm glad I could bring
that back for you it's inspired who
would have guessed that little
contortionist would go on to be such an
acclaimed actor progression The
Handmaid's Tale is you just got renewed
for a fourth season of the show and
maybe just as excitingly last week Oprah
made a an appearance on the show yes in
a way
mm-hmm yes she is our Radio Free America
voice mm-hmm which we are obviously
incredibly honored the the first year
she did it was season two and we were
trying to think of the most iconic voice
and obviously it was Oprah and everyone
said no you can't get Oprah Oprah's
Oprah she's not gonna come through The
Handmaid's Tale and me and Warren
Littlefield emailed her and she said yes
immediately what did you say how did you
get her email address in the first place
somebody wrote like yet to have you on
yeah and this is why and this is who you
would play and it's important to us to
have your voice in the show and she said
yes immediately she recorded it in 15
minutes in her recording studio at her
home which naturally she has right and
now she's just on speed dial so anytime
you need Oprah like that man you just
shine the Oprah signal exactly and she
shows up and gives you
might have nothing to do I don't know
who knows maybe she's bored out there
yeah well I think the message is to send
a bunch of emails to Oprah if you have a
project she might just agree to it
immediately
Oh bored she'll do it when we come back
we are gonna see a clip from this movie
with Melissa McCarthy and it's called
the kitchen and it opens theaters Friday
Elisabeth Moss is here over me and my
boys was in a ball and this guy we've
done some business with he asked me yes
asked you what well to kill you what's
name something Irish you know one the
same a dodo Duffy
no no he's he's my cousin he knows that
we are in business with you how much
they offer to pay 25 grand free to you
that's 75 we'll give you a hundred you
go to war there's no coming back that is
[Applause]
in the kitchen which is uh I'll let you
explain what is basically you become
mobsters when your mobster husbands get
locked up yep they get caught they get
locked up and we have to take over
because we have to survive and feed our
kids and pay the rent and the kitchen
stands for Hell's Kitchen in 1978 yeah
Melissa was here last week and she said
you you guys like you really laid waste
to nice neighborhood just to make it
look like they look in the seven things
we're not nice yeah we did they would
take an entire street and turn it into
1978 Hell's Kitchen which is not nice at
all so you'd see these people come out
of their apartments thinking they had
bought like a beautiful loft that was a
new up-and-coming neighborhood and
they'd come out and there'd just be
trash all over the city and graffiti and
you kind of see these people be like oh
great is it I would imagine it's kind of
fun to like be living in that time even
in just a small way and it must be fun
for you also to not have to wear a robe
all the time as well what I got
jeans and I got to wear like normal
clothes I do I observe this recently I
have worn an extraordinary amount of wet
suits in my career really yes why some
reason like pushing me into the water
it's like a thing that is very popular
we're a wetsuit in the kitchen I wear
what's the Invisible Man I were wet sit
in top of the lake now oh yeah now when
you wear the wetsuit is that your idea
or their they say we're gonna put you in
a wetsuit or you're like I'm not a
venturous I'm gonna need a wetsuit it's
a combination of those things are great
are they great you know I see sometimes
I Drive by and there's always like a
middle-aged man taking off his wet suit
by his car here in LA it's like a thing
you don't see other places it really
seems hard to get off oh it's impossible
to get on and off is that why you wear
it all the time miron the Pam each tell
seems like is it I wonder because
sometimes when people be on horror
movies and you say was it scary on the
set no no no it wasn't at all but is it
does it feel oppressive sometimes doing
that show do you feel uncomfortable no I
don't think so I mean we and as as crazy
as it is we honestly we enjoy doing the
show so much it's important to us we
love it it's an incredible opportunity
and I think that you know for us it's
it's it's a great challenge but it's
very very fulfilling
what is the war scene you've had to work
through something that you truly did not
enjoy doing probably the birth scene in
season 2 where I had to give birth like
by myself naked I should have had a wet
yeah that's no good
yeah yeah but people kept asking me like
are you okay I knew this is a really
hard D for you like are you doing
alright and I was like you know I'm not
really giving birth right like I think
this is easier than actually giving
birth did you have real babies oh yeah
we had a couple of them and there was
one baby that in order to get that you
know post births look yeah the the
that come that comes on the baby they
put cream cheese and jelly on the baby
which is like yeah
I know that baby was not all that baby
was not having it not having it first of
all it smelled which is we heard it
smell the baby smell of cream cheese and
jelly well sure yeah and heated it so it
was screaming so loud so I was doing
this really emotional scene where I'm
like naming the baby after my mother and
I'm you know it's all very emotional and
this baby's just screaming at the top of
its lungs in my ears
yeah and they're so loud as you made it
into an English muffin
[Laughter]
