-My first guest is a Golden Globe-nominated actress
who you can see in the new series, "Solos,"
which is available on Amazon Prime Video starting today.
Please welcome Constance Wu!
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Yeah! Oh, my. Come on, welcome back!
♪♪
-Thank you. Hi, how are you doing?
-I'm doing great. Thank you so much.
It's great to see you again.
First of all, I want to congratulate you
because, since the last time you were on our show,
you had a beautiful baby.
So congratulations.
-Thank you!
Yeah. I had a beautiful baby girl in August.
-Oh, my goodness. Congratulations.
How is she doing? How is it all going?
-Oh, she's the best. She's the best.
She has a full head of hair.
You know, she has a blue butt.
[ Laughter ]
And, uh, yeah.
-Yeah, long nights, or is she sleeping?
Everyone always asks that.
-You didn't ask me about the blue butt, Jimmy.
I thought -- I thought that you might be curious
about a baby with a blue butt.
-I didn't almost understand what you said,
so I kind of skipped over it.
But...
Wait, she has a blue butt?
-Yes. Her butt is the color blue.
-Okay.
Is it, like, for printing purposes?
Like, they put her in the ink?
Why is her butt blue?
-Well, you know, I might need to start thinking about,
you know, what I can use it for, her butt.
But no, actually, there's this thing,
I had never heard of it before,
but it's called a Mongolian spot.
And apparently, it happens in a lot of Asian babies,
and my boyfriend and I are both Asian.
And it's where your butt is blue
for like the first two years of your life,
and then it just goes away.
[ Laughter ]
-I don't know if this is a bit or not.
I don't know if I believe this.
Is it a thing? Has everyone heard of this?
[ Audience says "No" ]
-Yes!
-Oh, wait someone there has heard of it.
-He had it.
-Oh, he had it?
-Well, I just think it's a very special thing,
and it's not something that, you know,
she gets to show off while she's walking down the street.
So -- not that she's walking yet.
But I thought I would just, you know,
tell you about her little blue butt.
It's very special.
-That is actually so cute. Oh, my goodness.
And your boyfriend is a musician.
So is he playing music all the time for the baby?
-Yeah, he actually wrote a song about her blue butt.
[ Laughter ]
So that will be on his next album.
But yeah, he's a musician. -Gonna be on the next album.
What's it like dating a rock star?
Do you talk about each other's music?
Do you, like, school each other on different things?
-Well, I mean, you -- you probably know this life
because you were in that movie, "Almost Famous."
-[ Scoffs ] Please, hold your applause.
Hold your applause. [ Laughter ]
You can't hear it, but they're going nuts here right now.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Oh, stop. Oh, please. This is embarrassing.
But thank you. -Our life is like that movie
except, like, middle-aged.
-[ Laughs ] Okay.
All right. Interesting, yeah.
But it's that rock lifestyle.
-Yeah.
And, you know, it's interesting 'cause he's an indie rocker.
His band is called Man Man, and I am a musical theater nerd.
-Oh, my gosh. Wait a second.
You have to watch the beginning of our show.
We just -- We launched a new Broadway star.
[ Cheers and applause ]
David Poller.
Yeah. Have you ever heard of David Poller?
[ Audience cheers ] -I have now.
-Yeah, he's unbelievable. Get ready.
Put your stock in David Poller.
I have a question for you, because not only do you have
a brand-new beautiful baby girl in your house,
but you also have some other visitors.
Do you know what I'm talking about?
-Yeah, I had some bees visiting my house,
and I was like --
I did not know where they were coming from.
So I kind of, like, followed
where these bees were coming from.
And I saw them swarming around this tiny little hole
in my wall on the outside of my house.
So I investigated.
And it turns out that they had built an entire hive
inside of the wall of my house.
-Look at this thing. This is in the wall.
[ Audience oohs ]
-That's after they cut it out, and that was inside.
-That's the most frightening thing I've ever seen.
-It was, but you know what's even scarier
is that, like, our bees are in trouble in the world, right?
So we've got to save our bees.
So I was like, "How do I save these bees,
but not have them in my house?"
So I got, like, a specialist who had them humanely removed
and, like, found the scout bee so they wouldn't come back.
Like, it was like a whole process.
-Wow. -Oh, my gosh. I'm sorry.
My baby just woke up from her nap.
She's, like, screaming.
-I'll wrap this up. I'll make it quick.
-No, no, it's fine. She's with her dad.
It's cool.
-Are you sure? You're like --
-It's like leaving your kid with those guys
from "Almost Famous."
[ Laughter ]
-All right. I want to make sure --
I want to get you so you can go up
and take care of this baby with this guy.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
I do want to talk about "Solos."
It's on Amazon Prime Video, and it is basically monologues.
-Uh-huh.
-You're in a great company, by the way.
Morgan Freeman, Helen Mirren, Anthony Mackie.
Can you tell everyone what this is?
-Yeah, they are literally solos.
Everybody episode is just one actor, um, talking.
[ Baby screaming ] Which, you know, I guess
could be a nightmare to some people,
but it was real fun for us. [ Laughter ]
-Your daughter just had a good little cameo there.
That was a great -- I think he's teaching her Led Zeppelin,
is what your boyfriend's teaching her.
It sounds great.
Good. Good.
Get those lungs. I love it, girl. I love it.
Please give her a hug and a kiss from me.
And I want to show everyone a clip.
Here's Constance Wu in "Solos." Take a look at this.
-Now, this is wild. So wait for it.
Yesterday afternoon, I went to the birthday party
of a 2-year-old.
[ Chuckles ] My friend's little girl.
I mean -- well, I mean, our husbands work together.
I've only met her twice.
But it was a costume party, obviously,
hence...et voilà!
I'm like an angel, basically.
You know, like, from the Bible.
I was checking that I didn't smell sort of thing.
'Cause, like I said, I haven't been home.
I actually think I might still be drunk.
I'm Jenny, by the way.
I am great fun at parties.
[ Cheers and applause ] -Constance Wu!
"Solos" is available right now on Amazon Prime Video.
