-Congratulations on your engagement.
You just got engaged.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Double high five.
I just met him backstage, Ben.
-Yeah. -Very good-looking guy.
-Yes. -Tall -- Tall drink of water.
-Yeah. He's a cutie -- cutie pie.
-He's a cutie pie. -Yeah.
-How did he -- How did he do it?
-That's private. I want to go.
-No, Jenny, no. It's a talk show, so, come on.
-No. I don't want to do it. -[ Laughs ]
Jenny. -Well, okay.
No, I really want to do it.
So, we were in France, which is a very romantic country.
-Stop right there.
-Yeah, 'cause they invented French kissing.
That's with tongue.
They loved it.
-Oh, my God.
-Yeah, French kissing. -Yeah.
-So, we were in France. -A very romantic place, yes.
-Yeah, just tonguing it down.
-Oh, my, gosh. -Sorry.
-That's not what I meant. Not what I meant.
-I'm making myself blush, weirdly.
This is really weird. Okay.
So, we were in France.
And as it happens when you're in France,
we came upon an abandoned castle.
This happened to me. This is not a lie.
-This only happens to people like you.
-Yeah, totally. That's right.
So, yeah.
So, we get to the castle, and it's like, "Oh, it's locked."
But then, of course, we push the gate, because we're curious.
And it's like -- [ creaks ] --
you know, like a little bit.
And it's like, "Well, you're usually
not supposed to do that."
You know, like in "Beauty and the Beast," or whatever,
you shouldn't.
But so, we go in there,
and there are these four old French people having a picnic,
which is very dear and darling.
And we were like, "Maybe we should just sneak past them."
You know, because they'll kick us out or something.
But then, I said, "But what if they're
the people that unlocked it, and they don't know we're here.
They'll lock us in." And then -- you know.
And Ben, who's very rugged, was like --
points to a really high castle wall, and was like,
"Oh, well, could you scale the wall?"
[ Laughter ]
Like, if we get locked in.
And I was like, "Well, I'm in a party dress
and kitten heels.
And I'm also me, the person that you've known."
[ Laughter ]
-"So, can I scale a wall?" -"So, the answer is 'no.'"
-"No. I can't scale a wall." -Can't scale a wall.
-So, you're in an abandoned castle.
-An abandoned castle.
We tell the old people. We're like, "Hi. We're here.
Can we have a picnic?"
-They all turn around, and they're all Pennywise.
-They're like, "Eh." -"Ah!"
-And they're holding balloons.
[ Laughter ]
-Yeah. -What were they, like, "Eh."
-They were like, "Eh."
[ Laughter ]
-That's your French.
[ Both imitating French ]
And we were like -- [ Imitates French ]
So, we started to have a picnic.
I had chosen many of the groceries for the picnic,
which means that it was just, like, all salami.
[ Laughter ]
-Is that right? -I love a sausage.
-Me, too.
[ Laughter ]
Well, I mean, like...
[ Cheers and applause ]
Charcuterie.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Totally.
-Different types of meat. -Yeah, yeah.
It's just, like, a big, like, delicious sausage.
But anyway, so-- So, I'm eating the sausage.
Okay. And he starts to sort of --
And this...
[ Laughter ]
Alright, alright. And then-- and then--
-And then...
♪♪
Hey, stop, stop, stop, hey. stop, stop, stop.
-Guys, I'm in a sweater vest. -Okay. Hello.
Sorry about that.
-So, I'm eating the sausage. The sun is setting.
He's holding my hand.
He's saying, you know, these beautiful things to me.
-Mm. -And all of a sudden, I'm like --
He's like, "Jenny, you mean so much to me."
-[ Gasps ] -"I love you so much."
I'm like, "He's about to propose to me!"
And you know, like, I can feel it coming.
I'm like, "I can't believe this is happening to me.
It's really gonna happen."
I had a moment to kind of, like, calm myself.
I could have been, like the, Audrey Hepburn of the situation,
like, very demure. -Yes.
And so, he's like, "Will you be my wife?"
-[ Gasps ] -And of course, at that moment,
when I could have been like, "yes," or whatever...
[ Laughter ]
...I have somehow nervously stuffed, like,
all of the sausage into my mouth.
[ Laughter ]
And I'm like, [ Muffled ] "Yes!"
-Just sausage coming out of your mouth?
-Yeah. Just sausage, like, dangling, like,
you know how they're, like, connected by a string.
-Ew! Oh, my God. -Yeah.
I'm like, "I will be your wife!"
-"Forever!"
-"Now you said it, you have to do it!"
And then, it's like--
It's like when Howard Dean was like -- [ Yells ]
[ Laughter ]
Oh, man. -Oh, my gosh.
Congratulations. That's a good memory.
-Thank you very much. -That's a good memory.
-Beautiful memory. -Yeah.
-Very, very long, long time together, you guys.
-Yeah.
-I want to talk about "Little Weirds."
-Yes. -I love this.
Can you explain, why is the title "Little Weirds"?
Well, in the book, there are 48 small pieces,
and some of them are, like, sort of like essays.
or some of them are just, like, wishes.
And I wrote them all, and gave them to my editor,
and she said, "I like this. I think that this is a book.
But I don't know what it is. And what is it?"
And I said, "Well, it's just all of my,
like, little weirds that I have."
And so, Jean, my editor said,
"Well, that's what we're going to call your book."
-"Little Weirds." -And so, that's what it's called -- "Little Weirds."
-And that's how come up with this, right? -Yeah.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Yeah.
-It's super funny, and it's very, very creative --
like you are. -Thank you.
-I want to talk about your special on Netflix right now.
-Yes. -"Stage Fright."
-Yeah. -This is-- I loved it
because it's not only just standup, but it's also --
you have -- your family does interviews.
-Mm-hmm.
-And actually talks about you, and stuff.
Was it hard to your family to talk about you?
-You know, they all have, like, a different mode.
Like, my mom, reflecting on it, I was like,
"She's like the Sarah Huckabee Sanders
of our family."
Like, she just won't admit that it happened.
Like, even if someone was like,
"So, Nancy, Jenny robbed a bank, you know,
and she took all the money."
She'd be like, "That bank was already on fire?
You're rude for saying the bank was even there,
and now, fires are gonna be set,
and it's gonna be your fault."
Like, she just would not --
she, like, wouldn't say anything bad about me,
whereas, my dad somehow dug in super hard, really immediately,
and was like, "Jenny experiences despair."
And it was like, "Oh!" o"Wow."
"Whoa. This is a comedy special."
They also asked me for my Netflix password on camera
during the interview for the Netflix bit.
-That is such a mom and dad thing to do.
-Yeah. They were like, "Well, how are we gonna watch it?
Well, what's your password?"
I was like, "Maybe, let's just talk about it later."
-Let's just lie, and say that we already have accounts.
-Yeah. -We all have separate accounts, mom and dad.
