- ARE YOU EXCITED ABOUT THE SUPER BOWL?
ARE YOU A FOOTBALL FAN?
- I'M KIND OF A FOOTBALL FAN.
YOU KNOW, I WAS EXCITED TO SEE LAST WEEK
ELLIE KEMPER HOSTING THE SHOW.
- OH, YES.
- SHE DID SUCH A GOOD JOB.
I WAS WATCHING IT BACKSTAGE.
- YEAH, SHE DID A GREAT JOB.
- SHE WAS UNREAL.
- SHE--YOU KNOW, POOR GIRL.
WE THREW HER INTO IT,
AND SHE HAD TO LEARN THE WHOLE THING
IN A COUPLE OF HOURS, SO...
- SHE WAS UNBELIEVABLE. - YEAH.
- YEAH, IT WAS REALLY NICE TO SEE.
NO, I DON'T HAVE ANY STAKE IN THE SUPER BOWL.
I'M A GIANTS FAN.
- OH, THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN.
- YES, THANK-- WELL, KIND OF, THANK YOU.
[applause]
SORT OF.
- SO YOU DON'T CARE WHO WINS?
- I GUESS...
VIA BROTHER,
I WANT PEYTON.
- YEAH? - AND THE BRONCOS.
- YEAH. [cheers and applause]
THAT WAS PROBABLY HALF OF THE CROWD.
I GUESS THE OTHER HALF IS SEATTLE, MAYBE.
[cheers and applause]
- AND 1/3 DON'T CARE, AT ALL.
I LOVE SEATTLE.
AND, YOU KNOW, I REALLY DO.
I WAS HOPING FOR THE SAINTS, MYSELF,
AND THEN THE PACKERS, AND THEN THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN.
SO I REALLY DIDN'T CARE
UNTIL ZANE BEADLES FROM THE BRONCOS
CAME ON THE SHOW AND PROFESSED HIS LOVE FOR ME.
AND SO OF COURSE I AM NOW FOR THEM.
- WELL, NOW I'M ALL IN.
- GOOD. YOU'RE FOR THE BRONCOS.
- YEAH, OF COURSE. - AND SO IS MARIO.
[cheers and applause]
MARIO ALSO THINKS THE BRONCOS WILL WIN
WITH TWO OR THREE POINTS.
YOU'RE THROWING OUT A LINE?
- NO, NO, SHE DID A WHOLE JEDI MIND TRICK.
DON'T PAY ATTENTION.
- [laughs]
- I DID NOT. I DID NOT.
IS YOUR WIFE A FAN?
- THIS IS THE ONE TIME OF YEAR I THINK SHE GETS INTO FOOTBALL.
- OH, REALLY?
- YEAH, BECAUSE IT'S, LIKE, A PARTY.
- YEAH. - AND SHE LIKES THE PARTY.
- IT IS.
AND WILL YOU-- WHO DOESN'T LIKE TO PARTY?
- YEAH, SHE APOLOGIZES FOR IT SOMETIMES.
- FOR PARTYING?
- YEAH, SOMETIMES WE'LL BE AT DINNER,
AND SHE'S, LIKE, HAVING A COUPLE COCKTAILS
AND SHE GETS A LITTLE LOUD,
AND SHE'LL GO, "OH, SORRY I LIKE TO PARTY."
I'LL BE LIKE, "HONEY, KEEP IT DOWN."
"UGH, SORRY I LIKE TO PARTY."
AND THEN SHE'LL JUST GO BACK IN.
- HOW LONG HAVE Y'ALL BEEN MARRIED?
- OH, GOD, SO LONG.
[laughs]
FIVE YEARS NOW.
- FIVE YEARS IS NOT A LONG TIME.
- NO, BUT WE'VE BEEN TOGETHER FOR 11.
- OH.
[applause]
THEY APPLAUD BECAUSE IN HOLLYWOOD,
THAT IS A LONG TIME.
THAT IS...
- LOOK AT THAT.
- YEAH.
AND YOU AND YOUR WIFE HAVE A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE CHILD
WHO--THE LAST TIME YOU WERE HERE,
YOU WERE GUEST DJ'ING.
AND YOU TOLD ME THAT SHE WAS OBSESSED
WITH KATY PERRY'S SONG "ROAR."
- YEAH, SHE GOT REAL INTO "ROAR."
- AND IS SHE STILL INTO "ROAR"?
- IT WENT FROM-- WELL, IT WENT FROM, LIKE,
THESE NURSERY RHYMES AND KIND OF,
YOU KNOW, ITSY-BITSY SPIDER, TO "ROAR."
- MM-HMM.
- AND I THOUGHT, WELL, THIS IS A TRANSITION.
BUT NOW THAT'S OPENED THE DOOR TO ALL POP MUSIC.
AND THE PROBLEM BECOMES,
AS SHE STARTS SINGING THESE SONGS
THAT SHE DOESN'T KNOW THE WORDS--
YOU KNOW, LIKE "BLURRED LINES" WILL COME ON THE RADIO.
ALL OF A SUDDEN, SHE KNOWS ALL
THE WORDS TO THIS SONG.
AND SHE'S GOING, "YOU KNOW YOU WANT IT,
YOU KNOW YOU WANT IT."
I'M LIKE, "YOU DON'T WANT IT AT ALL."
- [laughs]
"YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS."
- [laughs]
- "I QUITE FRANKLY HOPE YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT IT IS."
ESPECIALLY IN THE SCENARIO WITH--
GOODNESS GRACIOUS, THAT SONG.
- YEAH, THAT'S SCARY TO HEAR YOUR DAUGHTER SING THAT,
BUT IT'S ADORABLE AT THE SAME TIME.
- SHE'S SO HAPPY, TOO, IN THE BACKSEAT OF THE CAR.
"YOU KNOW YOU WANT"--
I'M LIKE, "PLEASE, YOU'VE GOT TO STOP."
- HOW OLD IS SHE?
- SHE'S FOUR.
- SHE'S--BUT THAT'S ADORABLE, THOUGH, KIND OF.
- IT'S KIND OF THE BEST.
YOU'RE LIKE-- AT THE SAME POINT,
YOU'RE KIND OF--
YOU'RE LIKE, "PLEASE DON'T SING THAT,"
BUT I ALSO KIND OF WANT TO FILM IT.
- OF COURSE.
YOU WANT TO PUT THAT UP.
THAT'S REALLY CUTE.
HEY, BEFORE WE RUN OUT OF TIME,
WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THE FACT THAT PRINCE WAS ON YOUR SHOW.
LOOK AT THAT.
PRINCE WAS ON "NEW GIRL."
[cheers and applause]
YOU A PRINCE FAN?
- I'M A HUGE PRINCE FAN.
IT WAS ONE OF THE MOST SURREAL EXPERIENCES OF MY LIFE.
THERE WAS A SCENARIO DURING THE SHOW
WHERE HE'S SINGING ONSTAGE,
AND THE GANG JOINS HIM ONSTAGE,
AND WE DANCE.
WE DANCE WITH PRINCE.
AND HE KIND OF MOVES OFF TO THE SIDE
KIND OF LIKE WHERE MARIO WOULD BE BEHIND THE DJ BOOTH.
AND I NOTICED THAT I WAS UP AGAINST THE DJ BOOTH
RIGHT NEXT TO HIM.
AND I'M DANCING. HIS SONG'S ON.
AND I'D COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN ABOUT THE SHOW
OR THE CHARACTER OR ACTING AT ALL.
AND I'M JUST LIKE, "I'M JUST FEELING THIS
AND I'M DANCING."
AND I KIND OF LOOKED OVER AT HIM,
AND HE GAVE ME A LOOK LIKE,
"HEY, MAN, I'M KIND OF PROUD OF YOU," KIND OF THING.
BUT I ALSO REALIZED, LIKE,
WHAT HE WAS LOOKING AT WAS A 13-YEAR-OLD
AT HIS BAR MITZVAH, MAYBE.
- [laughs]
- AND I DIDN'T WANT THAT TO BE THE REALITY IN THE--
YOU KNOW, I WANTED TO BE LIKE,
HEY, ME AND PRINCE ARE ON THE SAME LEVEL.
AND I COULD SEE, LIKE, THAT WASN'T HAPPENING.
BUT HE WAS HAPPY THAT I LET LOOSE
AND THAT I WAS FREE IN THAT MOMENT.
- THAT'S VERY COOL.
- YEAH, IT WAS THE COOLEST.
- THAT'S, LIKE, GONNA OPEN IT UP
TO ALL KINDS OF PEOPLE THAT ARE GONNA COME DO
THE SHOW NOW, ONCE PRINCE DOES IT.
- OH, LET'S HOPE.
- YEAH.
- ARE YOU AVAILABLE. - YEAH.
YEAH.
NO ,BUT I'LL SEND ELLIE KEMPER,
- YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.
- [laughing] SHE DOES MY WORK NOW.
- [laughs]
