-Welcome back to "Late Night." We are here with Maude Apatow.
You can tell, from the audience reaction,
whenever I mention the show "Euphoria,"
this has a very fervent fan base.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Is it fun to be a part of something
that people are paying so much attention to?
-It's so crazy. I can't even believe it.
Like, I just -- Every day, I'm, like, on Instagram,
and people make these super-intricate
edits and drawings, and, like, it's so amazing.
So, yeah, thank you, guys. -Have you had --
[ Cheers and applause ]
You know, obviously, you have your professional life
on camera.
With your downtime, I know that you like to --
and celebrate the reality-show world.
-Yes. I really do. -Yeah.
-You went to the "The Bachelor" mansion.
-I did go to "The Bachelor" mansion.
And Colton photobombed me. -Really?
-Like, that wasn't even inten-- He just jumped in the back.
I didn't even realize.
-You were just taking a photo
without knowing that Colton was there?
-But I'm so obsessed with reality TV,
I went to "The Bachelor" mansion and sat in the control room
for a rose ceremony, and it was the coolest thing ever.
-Wow! -But -- Yeah.
-Is it super-tense?
Is there a lot of chatter in the control room
during a rose ceremony?
-Oh, yeah, so much more.
And I was just, like, loving every second.
It was, like, more fun to be in the control room --
-Well, 'cause I would imagine, in that case,
you've got, like, tight cameras on, like, all the faces.
-Yeah. They're talking about them,
and it's so -- Yeah, it was crazy.
But I'm a big "90 Day Fiancé" fan.
-Okay, great. -That's my favorite.
-And do any -- Have, like --
Have you connected with any of the 90-day fiancés?
-This is my most horrible trait, is, like --
So, like, the other week, we were, like,
celebrating "Euphoria," and I -- I'll have like one drink,
and then I think it's a great idea for me
to message the "90 Day Fiancé" cast on Instagram.
Every time. So --
-And what sort of messages do you send them, Maude?
-I just hope they're okay. -Okay.
-Like, I just get so worried and, like, stressed,
and I'll be watching it and I'm, like, kind of drunk
and I'll just be like, "Oh, no, I need to check in."
Like, I know this was shot like -- what? --
four months before.
Like, I just need to maybe check and see how they're doing.
-And do you hear back from them?
-Sometimes, but mostly not.
-Okay.
Well, they're all very busy, and, you know,
they have these new fiancés, yeah.
-They know I care, so -- Yeah.
-I hate to put you on the spot,
but I'm just going to be honest.
How does that show work?
-"90 Day Fiancé"? -Yeah.
-You have, um -- Whoa! I've -- Whoa!
I've been waiting for this moment.
No.
-I really like making people plug shows
they have nothing to do with.
-You have one person who's from America
and then one person from another country.
And the person from whatever country they're from
is in America on the spousal visa.
So they have 90 days to get married
or they have to go back to wherever they're from.
-So the show basically puts them with a stranger.
-Yes -- Or no, no, no.
Sometimes, they meet online before.
-Oh, gotcha. So it's not --
-Yeah, yeah. It depends. Each situation is different.
-Okay. And what percentage is it working out on
old "90 Day Fiancé"?
-There are some really --
There's ones that have really worked out.
-Really? -Yeah, yeah.
-But, like, what percentage, Maude?
What are we talking? Like 5?
-Oh, my gosh.
No, more than that. More than that.
You have some soul mates on there.
-Really? -Yes.
-This is wonderful to hear.
I'm happy, because it doesn't sound like it should work.
-It varies. -Yeah.
-Yeah.
-I've only watched -- I'm just going to come clean.
I watch "Love is Blind."
Have you watched "Love is Blind"?
-Yes, yes. -Yeah.
-Not this season.
-Yeah, there's a new season, which my wife and I
are trying to decide if we're going to put ourselves
through it again.
-And they have a "Love is Blind: Japan."
-Do they really?
-Yeah, I saw on Netflix the other day.
I was like, "Got to watch that." -That's great.
I mean, it does transfer pretty easy to other cultures.
I mean, I feel like everybody understands it.
It's like, you're going to fall in love by a voice.
-Right, right. -Like, got it. Sign up.
And what about "The Bachelor"?
Do you feel like, when you watch that,
are you mostly rooting for true love?
-I mean, of course.
-Yeah. Okay. -Are you?
-I'm kinda -- Well, alright. -No?!
-Well, there's a disaster element of it
that I feel like makes for good TV.
-But then it all, like, is so nice when it works out.
-You are -- You're built for this.
You're the perfect audience. -I'm such a sucker.
I'm, like, always crying.
They're, like, riding horses and, like
-Well, that's when I realized I had to step back.
Like, first, I had to step back because I'm like,
"Oh, I'm enjoying this too much, like, watching these people
with their messy lives interact,"
and I felt bad about myself as a person.
But then I realized I had to step back
because I'm like, "Also, I'm more invested in their love
than I am in any of the friends and family
and I'm fully crying about these people that I've never met,
and I think that this is unhealthy."
-No, I can relate to that. That's why I message them.
I care so much.
And, also, I always am messaging people.
Like, I'll watch, like, a random Netflix docu-series,
and, like, some random person who's doing an interview --
I'll find them on Instagram and be like,
"Hope everything's going alright."
-By the way, I just want to celebrate the fact that
I think I've never met anyone who uses social media
just to, like, check in on people.
-No, like, my, like, "You up?" text is, like,
sliding into a "90 Day Fiancé" cast member's DMs,
asking if everything's okay.
-It's really great.
I like to think that the "90 Day Fiancé" --
when they have their reunion thing,
they just talk about you.
They're like, "Are you getting these weird texts?"
-This weird girl. Yeah.
-"You know this girl from 'Euphoria'?
Is she asking you if you're okay all the time?"
It's like, "Yeah, we should ask her if she's okay."
-Oh, God, that's so embarrassing.
I'm like, "Darcey, if you see this --
I always text her, "I love you."
-Oh, that's great.
Darcey, if you see this, I think the love is real.
And I think you should stop ignoring it.
Whatever you're looking out there for in 90 days
is sitting right in this chair.
Hey, Maude, thank you so much for being here.
-Thank you!
-It's such a delight to have you.
Maude Apatow, everybody.
The season finale of "Euphoria" airs this Sunday on HBO.
We'll be right back with more "Late Night."
