-What an honor. -Thank you. Oh, please.
Thank you so much for coming on the show.
-Thank you for having me. -I know your dad.
I know your dad, Stephen. -Of course.
We're basically family. -We're basically family, yeah.
I know your uncle, too. -Of course.
-Uncle Alec.
But I -- Did I meet you when you were at "SNL?"
-I met you when my dad was on the show.
-I definitely met you here. -Yeah.
-But did I -- 'Cause you were on "Saturday Night Live."
Is that true? -I mean, it sounds cooler
when you say I was "ON" "Saturday Night Live,"
when in reality, I kinda just went on there with Alec
and introduced the Jonas brothers when I was 13.
-So you're a big Jonas brothers fan?
-Uh, yeah. I was into it for sure.
-Did you have a favorite Jonas brother?
-Um -- [ Laughs ] At the time --
-Is it weird to say now 'cause you run into them?
-It is a little weird to say now 'cause I do see them out
and see them places, and we're kind of all the same age now,
so it's a little weird.
But we actually went to the same middle school.
-Wait. So you went to school with the Jonas brothers?
--Well, they're older than me, so they went
before I went to the school, but, yes, we went to the same school.
-Wow. So they're like legends? -Yeah, totally.
-Legends in the hallway.
You're like, "Oh, yeah, I knew Nick."
And you know all the -- Yeah.
I was just seeing if I can hint
to see which one was your favorite.
Mnh! Mnh-mnh-mnh! -I won't get it from you.
But then how -- Wait. What do you mean you got to introduce --
-We went to "Saturday Night Live" when they performed,
and Alec was like, "Hey, come out with me.
I want you guys to help me introduce their performance."
And we were like, "Okay!"
-I mean, how cool is that? We actually have a clip.
-Oh, no!
-Here's 12-year-old Hailey Baldwin
on "Saturday Night Live."
She's on the right of the screen. Check this out.
-No.
-Once again... -Jonas brothers.
-Come on!
[ Cheers and applause ]
I mean, that is so cute!
[ Foghorn ]
-Ugh! -What are you talking about?
-The braces! -It's so cute!
Are you kidding me? Come on. That's fantastic, buddy.
-It's good, it's good. -It is. Of course. It's great.
I heard that you're going to the Met Gala that's coming up?
-I am. -I'm gonna go, too.
-Yes. Slay. -Oh, come on. Yas.
Slay, obviously.
[ Laughter ]
"Google 'slay.'"
Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Definitely slay.
I mean, obviously. -Obviously.
-Duh. I mean, nothing -- Slay all day!
-Slay!
[ Laughter ]
So, when we go to the Met Gala,
we'll wave at each other and say hi.
We'll party, right?
-We'll hug, we'll have a drink. -We will?
-Yeah, we'll party.
-Now, you've been before to the Met...
It's a beautiful thing.
Anna Wintour. Oh, my gosh. Amazing.
And it raises money for the Met.
-Yeah, it's my fourth year going, actually.
-Oh, really? -Yeah.
-Eh, number 10 for me, but no big deal.
It's cool. I mean, that's just, you know, slay all day.
So it's just like...
Uh, I wanna talk about this documentary.
"The American Meme." -Yeah, yeah.
What is it about, and how are you involved with it?
-"The American Meme" is basically a documentary
about social media, and it follows a couple people
who basically --
Why I did it is 'cause I just wanted to sit down
and be able to be candid about
the highs of social media and the lows of social media
and how it's impacted my career and my job
and how it impacts everybody's life
and also how it's affected me in a negative way...
and that it actually is hurtful to read a lot of the things,
and it does affect somebody,
and you can get so sucked into what people are saying.
And I just wanted people to understand
that it's not this, like, amazing fantasy life
that people think it is from the outside.
There's actually, you know --
We're human beings, and we have feelings,
and they can be really affected by it.
-I want to show a clip.
Here's Hailey Baldwin in "The American Meme."
Take a look.
-I post a lot of things that I genuinely just like.
And I've gotten in trouble with my agent before being like,
"Why would you post this?!
You can get paid for doing this!"
-Being able to, like, do a little paid post here and there
has brought me a lot of power
in choosing what movie roles I want.
-I went into a show fitting the other day,
and they had a bunch of girls' photos next to each other
with little Post-its on it,
with everybody's Instagram follower count.
I have definitely lost jobs
to girls who had more followers than I did.
The modeling industry itself is very harsh
and not easy to be successful in.
And there's girls that are getting
that recognition overnight because of an app.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Good for you. That's awesome!
-Yeah, it's super-cool.
-"The American Meme" is playing in theaters in New York City
throughout the weekend.
Before you leave,
there's a cool life hack that I heard that you can do.
And I just was wondering if you could maybe --
A lot of our viewers at home,
people here want to know life hacks.
And it involves -- It involves bottles of beer.
-It does. -Now, this is --
-All right, you know, I'm going to preface this by saying
don't try this at home.
-Okay, yeah. Now, what is the hack here?
What do you do? What's the trick?
-Well, the story behind it --
I was in the Bahamas shooting with a bunch of people.
And we were on a boat, and we didn't have a bottle opener.
And I didn't want everybody to not have fun,
so I was like, "Oh, you know what?
Let me just try something."
And I cracked it open with my tooth.
I then I ended up realizing that I could do this cool thing,
and I cracked 16 of them in one go.
So...

[ Cheers and applause ]
[ Fizzing ]
-You are the coolest person I've ever met! Cheers to you.
Hailey Baldwin, everybody, right there.
