[MUSIC-RIHANNA, "DISTURBIA] Disturbia.
It's like the darkness is the light.
Disturbia.
Am I scaring you tonight?
Disturbia.
Ain't used to what you like.
Disturbia.
Bum bum be-dum bum bum be-dum bum.
Faded pictures on the wall.
It's like they talking to me.
Disconnecting your call.
Good morning.
Hi.
[CLAPPING]
Were you sleeping?
Yeah.
I've been here since the last time I was here.
Right.
We gave you-- we named that Aubrey Plaza over there for you
and I didn't realize--
I felt like I'd been in that direction.
I haven't seen you.
I live there.
Wow.
I've only been there.
Only there.
For months.
Wow.
Do you have visitors and stuff?
No.
No one visits me.
No.
I'm alone.
All by yourself.
Yeah.
Is there a kitchen or something?
No.
I haven't eaten for years.
It hasn't been that long.
Can't you tell?
Well.
Hi.
We gave you the plaza, and we gave Sandra Bullock
just a plaque.
What?
Yeah.
But not a plaza.
You got a plaza.
She got like a tiny plaque or something.
OK.
Good.
Yeah.
That was her railing.
We gave her a railing.
Oh.
She was very unhappy with that.
That's cute.
Yeah.
What else-- has anyone named anything after you?
Where am I?
What?
I said has anyone named anything after you besides us
naming this plaza after you?
No.
But I mean my name is everywhere.
And so I just--
since I was a child just tell myself that every time I see
plaza it's been named after me.
Oh really.
Any shopping plaza.
.
Hotels centers.
Gathering, meeting gathering places.
Meeting gathering places.
For people.
Yes.
Do you--
Laundromats.
Thanks.
Are your parents name Plaza also?
Yeah.
Yeah, both of them.
Do they feel.
Yeah
Do they feel the same way?
That the plazas are named after them?
I don't know.
I think that was more just like me and my own imagination
I see.
No, really, as a little kid did you really
think that plazas were named after you?
I mean no.
But I do remember as a child like one of the first like
lies I think that I ever told was like,
I told a bunch people in my class that the Plaza Hotel,
that my dad owned it or something.
Wow
And like, you know, it was like a stupid thing.
To get-- like to make people think that you were, what rich?
Just cool.
I don't know.
Yeah.
It's cool Yeah and then when--
--just make me feel less alone.
Yeah.
Aw, you poor thing.
Yeah.
And then when they found out that it was not the truth
you probably lost those friends.
Yeah, no.
I had no friends.
Oh.
This is a sad story.
You're bumming people out.
I'm sorry.
You hosted an award show.
Which one did you host?
I hosted the Independent Spirit Awards.
Oh, that's right.
Yes.
How did that go?
Did you like it?
Yeah, it was fun.
Yeah, I really liked it.
I kind of like outdid my--
overdid it I really went for it
Yeah.
Well, people seemed to really respond well to it.
They like it.
Yeah.
I think everyone had a good time.
I kind of like, once they asked me to do it, I kind of--
had like a nostalgia for like the Billy Crystal like,
you know, Oscar '90s like kind of vibe.
So I was like treating it like that even though they
had no money and zero budget.
And I was like I need dancers and I need films and opening
films and lights and props.
And they were like, we don't have anything.
And I was like, I'm doing it.
That's fantastic.
And have you always wanted to host?
Do you like the idea of hosting something?
No.
I-- No.
I don't know how it happened.
They just asked me to do it and then I was like, all right,
well if you think I can do it then I guess I'll try.
Yeah.
And then you liked it.
And now I liked it.
But I don't know if it's like something--
I don't know.
I mean you're good at it.
And it's like a weird thing to do.
It's like-- I mean not in a bad way.
It's like hard.
I mean it's a lot of pressure.
It was it was exhilarating.
It was a live television show too.
So the clock is ticking and, you know, it's a rush.
Yeah.
And you have to really pay attention to time.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
No room to get, you know, too weird.
No, no.
You should you should host this sometime.
I'll do it anytime.
All right great.
You'll do it.
I'm doing it now.
Well, you're not.
You're not.
Right now you're a guest.
Well.
Yeah.
You say so.
I live here but that's OK.
That's why it's convenient too.
Because you live here.
We don't have to pay for transportation or anything.
Yeah, I need a house.
All right.
Well then save.
Thanks.
So you're-- it's June now, as you know.
But the Parks and Rec reunion was in March.
That was fantastic.
Did you have fun?
Oh my god, it was insane.
Remember that in March?
[CLAPPING]
It did very well.
I know, and can you believe that I- yeah, it was really fun.
Man, it was so good.
Yeah.
The ratings were great.
Just getting all those people back in one room,
and you just never know what will happen.
And I can't believe what happened.
Yeah, I know.
It was out of control.
That's how we felt. Are all of you still close?
Yes.
We are.
Like, we are all so busy so it's not
like we see each other all the time.
But we have like a mass texting chain.
And someone updates it probably every other day.
So it's like, you know, we're all still spiritually,
technologically connected.
Spiritually and technology.
Yes.
So let's talk about Child's Play.
Do you like scary movies?
I don't seek them out.
But you know, I'll watch it if you make me.
Yeah, well you're in it.
And so it kind of like, then you know
it's not scary because you're actually part of it.
Yes.
But it's kind of--
Child's Play is Chucky.
It's a remake of Chucky.
It's a remake of-- yes, of the original Child's Play,
the first Chucky movie.
Right And what's happening in this one besides scariness?
Well, I mean it's a remake, so it's
very close to the original story.
I play a single mom who, you know,
is just doing the best she can.
And she gets her son a gift, which just ends up
being a murder doll.
Which sucks.
And I would say the only-- like the big difference
between the original is like there's the update is really
with Chucky.
Chucky is no longer a possessed demon doll.
It's now a smart doll.
So he's connected to the cloud and he can control devices.
And there's kind of a more like you know technology can be evil
kind of--
Oh, that sounds more real.
--which is something that I thought was really cool.
Because I don't really want to be in a movie
where people are stabbing me and, you know,
I don't want that in my life.
My brain, you know.
No, not at all.
But I can get behind a movie where it's like, oh
technology is the villain.
Yeah, and it is.
It can be.
If it's not used for good.
Exactly.
So the kid on--
I understand-- did you play pranks on him
or did he play pranks on you?
What happened?
We-- he played pranks on me.
He was constantly playing pranks on me.
He was hiding in my trailer screaming at me,
freaking me out.
He even when the camera was rolling,
he was praying playing pranks on me.
We would be doing scenes which would have nothing to do
with pranks, and he would--
I'd be like walking across him, you
know, to the window or something and he'd stick his leg out
and trip me.
On camera.
And I'd be like, Gabriel do not mess with me on camera.
I am your mother on camera.
And I tried to get him back but I did not really succeed.
Oh, well we wanted him to be here and scare you today but
and it's too obvious
Oh, that'd be his dream.
We were going to scare you.
We were actually ready to go and everything.
Are you serious?
Yeah.
I was really going to scare you.
Oh my god.
I'm not.
Look, look, look, look.
OK.
There's nothing in there.
Don't.
No, I'm showing you
Chucky's in there.
Chucky.
Don't.
Chucky.
I know Chucky's here.
But I seriously was, and then they said that's too obvious.
And so but--
All right.
