-Which was disappointing because we were --
we were both at the Met ball on Monday,
and I didn't see you. -Not once.
-It's very crowded, and there's a lot of people.
-It's hectic. It's celebrity-rich.
-It is celebrity-rich. The theme was camp,
and you and your co-star from "Girls," Jemima Kirke,
you guys looked fantastic.
Do you want to talk through how you guys
came up with these outfits?
[ Cheers and applause ]
Really... -Thank you.
-...really good stuff.
-I have to say that we came to slay,
and I think that we took home --
I think we secured the bag, as the kids would say.
-You slayed so much, the cops were waiting
for you guys when you left.
-Well, here's what I'll tell you.
I do have to give credit to the designer,
Christopher Kane, and my stylist, Chris Horan.
But the attitude is all ours. -Yeah.
And it's really on display there.
-Yeah. I think that -- I think that what was nice
about this year for me is that, you know,
a lot of the themes -- Like, I love the Met Gala,
because I love the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
-Yeah. -I love "Vogue" magazine,
Anna Wintour. It's aspirational.
It's sexy. It's thrilling.
I'm actually a columnist at "Vogue" magazine,
a beauty columnist, which some people consider --
[ Cheers and applause ] -Wow!
Very impressive. -...consider ironic
because of how rarely I leave my home.
[ Laughter ]
But what I liked about this year was that a lot of --
You know, oftentimes I feel --
I wouldn't say, like, glam is my area,
but camp I can do. [ Laughter ]
-Camp was more in your wheelhouse, yeah.
-Yeah, so, I felt like this was the one year where I was like,
"Oh, Kendall Jenner, come into my house."
[ Laughter ]
-I should say, one of the nice things --
And, you know, I think a lot of people, very fairly,
have these, you know, notions about what the Met ball is,
but there are a lot of glamorous people,
a lot of fabulous people.
There are also a lot of people like you and I who --
Dominos had to fall in a very specific way
for us to end up at the Met ball.
-To arrive there. -And so, you know, you end up --
You know, for me, you know, I got to sit with,
you know, Mindy Kaling and Rachel Brosnahan,
and I think we're all sort of --
We kind of can't believe we're there.
and it makes for kind of a cool night,
the amount of people that you can talk to about like,
"What is happening that we are here?"
-Totally. [ Laughter ]
But Jemima and I were pretty in the zone.
-Oh, you had a good night, then. -Yeah, we were really in it.
Like, at the time I was like,
"There has never been a duo like us."
-Wow. -We were walking up the stage --
We were walking up the stairs, and, at one point,
we were feeling so good and so glamorous and we're posing,
and we had our poses planned,
and we worked on it in the hotel room before.
And we were like, "Okay, we're gonna go back-to-back,
we're gonna go front-to-front,
we're gonna kiss on the lips and shock them a little bit,
Britney and Madonna style.
We're gonna pull back and do a little bit of cool glamour."
And then, literally, we're walking,
and we hear this person go, "You're so brave!"
[ Laughter ]
And Jemima was like, "What did they mean?"
And I was like, "Oh, I know what they meant."
And now it's funny, because at the time, I was like,
"There's never been a team like this,"
and now I look, and I think what we look like in the photos,
in a positive way,
is when there's a sexual-education video,
circa 7th grade, and they animate two sperm.
[ Laughter ]
Do you kind of see what I'm talking about?
[ Cheers and applause ] -Yeah.
-I feel like -- -We were both like,
"Someone's getting pregnant tonight."
-Yeah. [ Laughter ]
And I feel like -- I don't remember that from the videos,
but I feel like that you're the good sperm
and she's the evil sperm. -Yeah.
It's like, "This is a baby that's gonna go to Harvard,
and this is the baby that's gonna sleep with your mom."
[ Laughter ]
And an amazing detail, which I love because it's so --
Like, I have true respect for the entity of "Vogue" magazine,
and what I love is that,
'cause it's so fashion and so funny is that,
Jemima made the Best Dressed list, and I did not.
-Really?
-But we're wearing the same outfit.
So I don't know if it was the shoes...
-Yeah. -...the body...
-Oversight? -...the spirit.
It's not an oversight. [ Laughter ]
And I'm not mad.
Let's just say, I'm grateful for what I can get.
It's my seventh year there,
and I am not gonna screw this up.
[ Laughter ]
My wife was burning me because I made a list
that was Top 40 at the Met ball over 40.
[ Laughter ]
And there was a picture of my wife and I,
and she was pretty mad, 'cause I'm 40 and she not.
[ Laughter ]
I'm dragging her. -I love it.
-I'm dragging her up. I'm dragging her up
into the dignified -- the dignity of age.
-I love it.
-You're not allowed to take photos inside the Met ball.
-No.
-Although, I think very cool people don't listen to that.
-No. But I'm not cool. -Yeah.
-And I'm afraid. -I'm a rule guy, as well.
-I'm a rule person. And every time I --
Like, my favorite thing is to break a rule,
then apologize profusely and cry,
because I'm like, "I didn't mean to,"
but I did -- I took one photo. -Okay.
-But I feel okay about it, because it was in the elevator,
and I'm never going to share it. -Great.
-But I can tell you about it. -Uh-huh.
You all may know who Jared Leto is.
-Yep. [ Cheers and applause ]
-You want me to show the photo, or do you want to explain...?
-Well, you know, he's an iconic --
To me, he's iconic. I mean, we know he's an actor.
He's a singer. But to me,
he will always be Jordan Catalano.
-Yeah. [ Cheers and applause ]
-What is that? "My So-Called Life."
-"My So-Called Life." And that, for me, was really --
That was my sexual awakening, if you will.
-Oh, wow. [ Laughter ]
-So, to see him --
And he ended up different than I thought he would.
-Yeah. [ Laughter ]
-And, anyway, so at the Met, he showed up carrying a --
-He went for it. I do tip my cap.
-Oh, no. I'm not judging.
He came with his own head. [ Laughter ]
So, we're in the elevator. He's with his friends.
I'm with my only friend.
And he's having -- And I tap him on the shoulder.
I'm like, "Excuse me." And he's like --
And I'm like, "Can I borrow that for one second?"
And he very willingly handed me the head.
And I kissed it. -Wow.
-Yeah. And Jemima took the pictures.
And Jemima was like, "Tongue, touch it.
Hold it -- to the boob." And then I gently
hand it back to him, like, "Thanks so much for the lend."
[ Laughter ]
-That's very nice of him. -Yeah.
-You asked for it the way other people ask for ChapStick.
-100%. -[ Laughs ]
