-Welcome back to "Late Night," We're here with D'Arcy Carden.
Um, you know, wonderful cast.
Big cast, famous names.
-I just did the thing that people do on talk shows
where I saw myself in the -- I kind of -- I saw myself
and I adjusted. [ Laughter ]
Like, I'm talking to you, but I'm like -- Oh. Oh.
-And you know what the funny thing is?
Everybody watching could see it.
You know what I mean?
Like, I do it, too. -Yes.
-Where you think you're catching yourself in a mirror,
but you forget it's the thing everyone sees.
-Yes, totally. Yeah. -Yeah.
-TV, baby. -[ Laughs ]
-You were saying? -And you think,
"I'll do it really subtly." -Yeah, nobody will notice
that I'm, like, sort of looking like this.
And...okay, anyway. You were saying, sir?
-What's it like -- Jennifer Lopez, Lenny Kravitz.
Who else is in the film? -Oh, my God.
-What's it like, that first table read
when you sit down with those sort of A-list names?
-So, I mean, the cast is insane because it's Lenny Kravitz
and it's J.Lo and Sonia Braga,
and it's all these people that are -- [stammers]
The table read was insane.
But the funny thing is, the only thing I can think of
when I think of the table read is that is when I met J.Lo.
-Yeah. -Okay. That's Jennifer Lopez.
-Yeah.
[ Laughter ]
-I -- It was this big old table read.
I see her come in. You can, like, feel it when she walks
into the room. I can see her come in,
and all of a sudden, I was like, "Okay, this is going to be
a long table read. I got to -- I got to pee.
I gotta go pee. I gotta to run and go pee.
-Yep, very smart. -I can't -- Thank you.
-Yeah. -And that's part of the biz.
-That's why you're good at the biz.
-Exactly. Yeah. -Yeah.
So I ran to go pee, and I open the bathroom door,
and immediately I'm like, "Something is up."
And I open the stall and it's just not good.
-Okay. -It's bad in there. It's bad.
-Someone left it not the way they found it.
-It shouldn't have -- Yes. Yeah, exactly.
It's so bad that I, like, have to wash my hands
just being in the room. Yes.
-You saw it and had to wash your hands.
-I saw it and was like, "I got to go. I got to go."
I'm washing my hands to leave and who walks in the door --
[ Audience groans and laughs ]
-Oh, no. Yeah.
Can I call her J.Lo? Can I say J.Lo?
-Yes, you can. Yeah. -My guess is J.Lo.
-She did, yeah. -Yeah.
-So she walks in the door. I'm washing my hands,
which is just admitting guilt. -Oh, yeah. Yeah.
[ Laughter ]
-And so I, like, run out, and I run into her security guard,
and I just go, "It's bad in there."
[ Laughter ]
-Good. Good cover.
-Yeah, I don't know.
-And then later you, like, tried to laugh and cover.
Be like, "I bet you probably had to wash your hands
when you saw it, because that's what I did."
I washed -- I saw it and... -I saw it and washed.
-...Washed my hands, in case you're wondering why.
-I just said that to everybody near her
so that she maybe overheard.
Lenny is like, "Why are you telling me this again?"
[ Laughter ]
-There's a scene where all this incredible cast
is shooting in a swimming pool fully clothed.
-Yes. -And I don't want to give
anything away from the plot, but you're forced to be
in the swimming pool fully clothed.
I would imagine that is not good times?
[ Laughter ]
-It's funny, because we're in the Dominican Republic.
It's so beautiful.
We're shooting in this gorgeous pool overlooking literally,
like, whales jumping out of the ocean.
It was so, like, idyllic -- is that how you say it?
-Yeah. -Idyllic? It was so beautiful.
But we were in the pool for, like, 20 days.
We were shooting in the pool for three weeks.
-That's too many days. -That's too many days.
What you'll find is three is too many days.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah. -Your skin starts reacting
weird. We had, like, rashes, like the --
you know, I don't know, maybe the filter stopped working
at some point. There's just, like, sunscreen.
So to complain about it is so silly because it really was
just such a joy, but it was -- our skin -- it was soggy.
It was very soggy. -Yeah.
-It was funny to see, like, Cheech and Lenny,
who are wearing full, like, suits, you know,
like wedding-y attire.
They -- We'd all be in the water up to our necks,
and then they'd be like, "Okay, that's lunch."
And just like -- [ Blows raspberries ]
[ Laughter ]
Just, like, trudging out of the swimming pool,
like, eating their chicken in soaking wet clothes.
Because you could change into your robe,
but then what are you going to do?
Put on your wet suit again? -That's even worse, right.
-Worse! -Just tough it out.
Stay in the wet suit. -Tough it out, yeah.
-Now, the idea of seeing Lenny Kravitz of all people,
who -- cool emanates off this man.
-He like, defines it. -And to be in a wet suit
eating chicken, that seems -- -I know.
-Like, this should not happen to a man at his level.
-You, like, have to avert your eyes.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
-But did you enjoy your time with Lenny?
-I did. -Yeah.
-Yeah, he's great. -Yeah, and you lived with him.
-We lived together. It was like -- I mean, he is --
he is just a rockstar. -By the way, when his wife
was living with Lenny Kravitz, I hope Henry Winkler
called up Jason and said, "You can come stay with us."
[ Laughter ]
"I know this must be a very hard time for you right now."
-It's the same thing. It's exactly the same thing.
"You're going through a thing. Come stay with us.
Clean your teeth." -[ Laughs ]
-Yeah, it was great.
He just is -- it was such a weird thing,
living with Lenny Kravitz.
Like, you would be eating breakfast
and he would come to the breakfast table in, like,
a shirt that was open to here and, like, leather pants.
-Yeah. -But we were there for months.
So we really -- Everybody -- I know casts always say
we became a family, but we really did.
-[ Laughs ] -We really did.
-Yeah. The other people are posers, but you guys --
-And I've said it before. -Yeah, and not meant it.
-But you know, it was, like, a year into COVID.
I had had no meals with anybody other than Jason.
There it is. I finally said his name.
-[ Laughs ] Yeah. -My husband.
-We got it out there. -Yeah.
-I had not made a new friend.
You remember that time.
-Yeah. -It was dark.
And so to have all the -- I don't know.
It was such a bonding experience.
It was so -- and to live with each other on top of it
was just, like, insane. It was so great.
-Well, that's really fun. Congratulations on the film.
It's always so lovely to have you here.
-I love ya. -Thank you so much.
You guys, that's D'Arcy Carden.
