-For those who don't watch this show,
and that clip is the first thing they've seen,
they might be surprised to know that this is a show
that takes place in the Marvel Universe.
-That's right. -Yes.
This is a very trippy show that exists in that superhero world.
You played -- Your character was a vessel
for a villain called The Shadow King.
-That's right. I started out as a human being, maybe,
in the first episode of season one, and then I died.
And then, an evil psychic mutant villain took over my body.
[ Light laughter ]
And now I'm just kind of floating around
in the Astral Plane, trying to figure out
how to get out of another dimension of time and space.
-Yeah! -Well explained.
Very well explained. [ Cheers and applause ]
You did a great job. Do you find this is a show --
If people ask me about my show, I say, "Oh, it's a talk show.
I interview guests."
You obviously -- Your task is a lot harder.
-Yeah, I know. I just actually texted Noah Hawley and said,
"How do I explain this show? Why don't you tell me."
And he said, "Say it's like going to home-ec class on acid."
[ Laughter ] -A good way to describe it.
And Noah Hawley, who's a fantastic writer
and also created the show "Fargo", he created this show.
And he also, when the show --
Before the show started, I guess,
he created playlists for you guys?
-Yeah.
Yeah, that's something I really like about him.
He sent us all these, like, Spotify playlists
that I guess were just kind of to inspire us.
And a lot of it was, like,
Pink Floyd and really cool songs.
And then tracks of just people screaming into trash cans.
[ Laughter ]
And just, like, kind of really unpleasant ambient tracks
that's really weird to listen to in the car when you're driving.
-Now, the first time you put it on,
were you surprised when the first
scream into a trash can came on?
-Yeah, yeah. I was, I was shocked.
I thought someone was behind me, screaming in a trash can.
-And that was Jemaine Clement, who's a fantastic actor.
One of the Flight of the Conchords guys.
He was in that scene.
And that, obviously, is a very well-choreographed scene.
Do you enjoy that part of it?
-Um, I -- It was really hard.
I've never had professional dance training.
And I don't know if Jemaine has. I don't think he has.
[ Laughter ]
But we were just told, like, "Show up, 10:00 a.m.
for your dance lessons
that will go on for seven hours every day."
And we were just thrown in there
with a bunch of professional choreographers,
and we just kind of had to, like, fake it.
-How long -- How many days did you rehearse
before you shot the scene?
-Like a week. Maybe more than a week.
-Wow! -It was intense.
-It paid off. You looked great.
-Thanks. -Yeah.
-I was scared. It was hard, but I got through it.
-Well, I'm glad you did. -Thank you.
-The show does seem fairly physically demanding.
-Yeah, there's a lot of weird, like, stunts and animals.
And just, uh...
I'm just rolling around in the dirt a lot.
[ Laughter ]
I don't really know what I'm doing.
-I want to ask about this,
because I have also done this recently.
I have not seen results.
You did -- You took a DNA test.
-That's right. -What brought it about?
-I know you've been waiting
to hear my results for a while, Seth.
[ Laughter ]
So I'm gonna tell you what I am now.
-Okay, great. -Yeah, I did the --
-Did you have to desire to know what you were?
-Yeah, well, I heard Oprah said that it was, like,
the best Christmas present to get people or something.
-Okay, gotcha. -23andMe.
-Yeah. -So I just do whatever she says.
[ Laughter ] -Yeah.
-And I did it. I spit into the tube,
and I sent it into the science factory.
[ Laughter ] Or, you know...
And then, I got it back. And so here's what I am.
I'm like 30% Irish... -Uh-huh.
-...which I kind of knew.
I'm like 30% Spanish, I'm 8% West African.
-All right.
-Um, I'm 7% Native American. -Wow.
-This is really only interesting to me.
[ Laughter ] I'm so sorry.
I'm 1% Ashkenazi Jewish... -Oh, wow.
-...which I, like... -Yeah.
-...totally didn't know.
I'm really .6, but I'm rounding up for that one.
[ Laughter ] -Okay.
-And I made homemade matzah ball soup recently, so...
[ Laughter ] -Wow!
Did you feel it -- [ Applause ]
You all of a sudden knew --
You all of a sudden knew, "This is a part of me"?
-Well, once I got the results in, I was like,
"I'm just gonna go for it." [ Laughter ]
-Do you feel like you'll be making other sort of commitments
to your newfound 1% Judaism?
-Yeah, um, definitely.
I'm gonna do all the stuff they do, um, in the book.
[ Laughter ] -Yeah.
-Yeah. -Mm-hmm.
-And I also had some interesting variance.
I have a Neanderthal variance that is associated
with having less back hair, which I thought was interesting.
[ Laughter ] -Oh.
And does that track with, uh, your back?
-Big-time. -Yeah.
-Oh, yeah. That's spot on.
-That's great.
That seems to me to be a DNA result that I wouldn't need.
-Yeah, I don't know what that one does.
-Like, at this point in my life,
I know where I'm at on back hair.
[ Laughter ] -Well, yeah.
I think, like, maybe way back in the day,
you needed a lot of back hair for survival, maybe.
-Yeah.
-As some kind of defense against...
-I would like to know, like --
When I get my test back, I'd like to know
what my ear-hair situation's gonna be.
[ Laughter ]
-I don't want to know about mine.
-You don't want to know? -No, not the ears.
[ Laughter ]
-Well, you can just brush hair over it as you get older.
-That's right. -If it gets bad.
-I try to hide my ears as often as possible.
[ Laughter ]
-It is always so lovely to see you.
Congrats on all your percentages.
-Thank you. -As well as the show.
It's so great to see you, Aubrey.
-Thank you. -Thanks for being here.
