-Thank you for coming on the show.
I love seeing you on the cover of the magazine, too.
I saw it this weekend. I was like,
"She's coming on this week! That's so cool!"
I love doing that when I'm just -- randomly --
"I'm going to see her! I'm going to talk to her on Tuesday!"
It's great. Thank you for being here.
-Thank you. -And welcome back to the show.
Having you on the show, everyone's been asking me like,
"Are you going to ask her about 'Clueless'?
Are you going to talk about...?"
[ Cheers and applause ]
I go, "No, I'm going to talk about 'American Woman.'"
I will -- I will --
Well, now that the audience brought it up basically.
-Totally. -But I mean --
I saw you do a lip-sync battle doing --
dressed as your character, Cher, doing Iggy Azalea.
It was kind of meta thing on "Lip Sync Battle."
Look at that. And it crushed.
[ Cheers and applause ]
People went nuts. People went crazy.
Do you just get it all the time?
Everyone's coming up to you like,
"We loved you so much in 'Clueless'!"
Is that the one character you get a lot?
Or are they like, "Is there going to be another one?"
Sorry. There's confetti.
I don't know if you heard, but we just gave out...
-I heard. -...the T-shirt of --
-Yeah!
-♪ T-shirt of the summer ♪
♪♪
♪ T-shirt of the summer ♪
♪♪
♪ T-shirt of... ♪
-Thank you, guys. That's perfect.
There's no real end to that song, so it's great.
It's just an ongoing party.
Well, people were asking me,
will there ever be a "Clueless" reunion?
Is there one in the works?
Like a "Clueless 2" or a reboot or a thing.
Amy Heckerling...
-I'm getting in your head right now, all right?
-...has made it very clear... -I know, but --
-...she does not want to do another one.
-Yeah. I understand. But she is doing...
-Look at me. You're playing with a big boy.
-But she is doing a musical...
-That's interesting. -...on Broadway.
-Okay.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Yeah. -Maybe some thing?
I don't know. I'm just saying.
Amy, if you're watching, people would love to see it.
-Yeah.
-You and Paul Rudd just show up somewhere.
I'm just saying. I don't know. Maybe. I'm just saying.
We don't know. We don't know. We don't know.
All right. No one knows anything.
All right. Good. Let's talk about "American woman."
-Okay. -This is set in the '70s.
Explain to everyone what the show is about.
-Well, I play a woman who's based on Kyle Richards' mother.
-That's right. -From "The Housewives."
-From "The Housewives." I love Kyle Richards.
-And her mom was quite a firecracker.
And she was a trailblazer of sorts of the time,
because she's a housewife in the beginning,
when you find my character.
And then she finds her husband cheating on her.
And she sees red, and she pulls a knife on him.
And she goes crazy.
And at the time, when her husband grabs her arm and says,
"You will put your head down, and you will do as I say,
and you will pretend this never happened."
That was the right thing to do because she has no money.
She can't survive.
She has no skills, as her daughter points out to her.
And so she's got to take care of these children and --
But instead, she just says no, and she kicks him to the curb.
And the whole show is her trying to find a way to survive.
And in that time, it was very difficult for women.
And she -- It's liberation and survival and...
-Interesting time. -Sexy time.
-Yeah, it was a lot of stuff. Yeah.
They got the look down right, as well.
Here's a picture that you posted on Instagram.
They got the '70s look.
[ Cheers and applause ]
I just love the cigarette, too.
I mean -- my parents, my mom --
Yeah, my mom smoked when, yeah, when she was pregnant with me.
-Oh, nice.
-I've seen photos, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Everyone did. It was actually -- It was a normal thing.
Are you smoking a lot on set, the fake cigarettes?
-They're so gross. -I know.
-I mean, it's so gross. -Because you're not legally
allowed to smoke anymore, anywhere.
-Well, you could on set, use a proper --
-You can? -Yeah. I mean, I think.
-We can't here. -I don't know.
We do fake cigarettes.
-But I asked for the cleanest kind you can get,
and they're still just so gross.
-"Can I have the cleanest cigarettes you can get?"
-The least chemicals, the least tar.
We got them. But they're still vile.
-They're still vile, yeah. -And -- But they're herbal.
There's nothing else. You know, it's not tobacco.
But other icky things. -Other icky things.
I want to show everyone a clip of you.
Here's Alicia Silverstone in her new show, "American Woman."
Are you smoking in this? We'll find out. Take a look.
-You've been there for those girls every step of the way.
All through their school projects and the sleepovers
and Becca's ballet lessons and Jessica practicing piano.
-She is so bad. -God awful.
[ Both chuckle ]
I have always been in awe
of what an incredible mother you are.
-If I'm so great...
why did you cheat on me?
-Yes! Alicia Silverstone!
