-Julia, thank you so much for coming on the show.
-Hi! -I'm so happy to have you on.
I want to get into "Ozark"
and the whole show and how amazing you are.
But this is your first time on our show
and our first time kind of meeting through Zoom.
But you've actually been here before?
-Yeah. So, funny enough, my husband --
Like, technically, our first date was on --
So, he was performing on your show.
He was performing two years ago.
He was performing "Sit Next To Me."
He's with Foster the People. -Yeah, that's right.
Foster the People. -Yeah.
So, then, yeah, and he was coming to New York.
He's like, "Hey, do you want to come visit me on 'Fallon'?"
And I was like, "Okay."
So I've never met you, but I've seen your show live.
-Good. That is unbelievable.
-So you're a good-luck charm. You're a good-luck charm.
-I love that! I will take that.
-Now two years later, we're married, so there you go.
-I love this story. You've got to put me in the book
when you write it, please. -Yeah, yeah.
I'm gonna call you the yenta of late-night shows.
-Thank you! That's all I want.
I want that to go out there. Please, thank you.
Show business runs in your family.
Your mom was on an Israeli sketch show?
Is that correct? -Yeah.
She was -- I mean, it's like --
I guess it's the Israeli version.
Have you ever heard that show "Saturday Night Live"?
[ Both laugh ] -What night is that on, again?
-Yeah, what's that on? No, she was on
this Israeli sketch show, and she turned --
and she then became a therapist,
and my dad's an art teacher, painter, so...
And my sister is also very funny.
I have a very funny family. -Yeah.
-Would you guys do bits together at parties and stuff like that
when you get together? -No.
Yeah, well -- you know -- We would, like --
My family, when prank calling was a thing --
kids will not understand it these days.
-Yeah. -We used to like --
My parents would love to have, like, a telemarketer --
Like, pick up the phone, a telemarketer,
and they would just -- they have this --
My mom had this whole sketch that she would play,
like, a Russian babysitter.
My mom has a really thick Israeli accent,
so she would just be, like -- It's terrible.
But she would be like -- She would be like...
[ Russian accent ] "Hello."
[ Normal voice ] "Yeah, is Mr. Garner home?"
"No, no, parents all day work, work.
They go out dinner with friends.
And kids, all they want is McNuggets and pizza."
And it's just...
-You guys would be around her as she's...?
-In the living room. And then, I would come in,
and she would be like this.
And then, she's like, "Hold on. Now there's tooky birds
flying all over the floor, everywhere."
And then, I would be like... [ Screeches ]
Like, just squeaking and... -Doing phone work
sound effects, everything?
-Yeah. And we were so upset when they stopped calling.
Everyone stopped calling.
-Did you do any other celebrity voices or just --
-I can do a Britney impression.
-Ooh, please. Can we hear a little Britney?
-Britney Spears, yeah. -I'm a big Britney --
-♪ Oh, yeah, yeah, oh ♪
-Oh, my God! That's it!
Oh, my gosh, you got the croak, the beginning.
Oh, my gosh. -"Oh, Jimmy."
-Oh, my gosh! Dude, that is so --
-And then -- yeah, you know, it goes into that.
And then it's like, same family, as Gwen Stefani.
Like, Gwen Stefani's a li--
They're kind of -- they're like in the same --
I love Gwen Stefani, too.
Gwen Stefani's more like -- She does this.
♪ You and me, we used to be together ♪
♪ Every day, forever, always ♪
-Dude. Your body turned into Gwen Stefani just now.
Your face -- that was perfect.
-Britney's more like... -Yeah!
[ Both laugh ]
Dude, you can do an impression without doing the impression.
You're amazing.
I have to talk about "Ozark," because --
And I will be truthful with you,
I'm currently on episode 3 on the first season.
-Listen, I appreciate the honesty.
It would be the worst if you were like, "I saw everything!"
-Okay, good. Yeah, good.
I almost, to be honest --
I don't want it to -- I don't want to finish it
'cause I don't want it to end. I love it.
I think you're amazing in this. I think everyone's amazing.
-Thank you. -I was like, who --
This girl -- You're --
You're knocking it out of the park.
It's so well done.
-Thank you. -I mean --
You just got nominated again for another Emmy.
Congratulations.
-Thank you. -Last year you won.
What do you remember about winning the Emmy?
-To be honest, like, bits and pieces.
I mean, it was like a -- [ Laughs ]
No, but it's like --
Really, it's like an out-of-body experience.
You don't plan on your life -- you don't think about
when you're a kid, "When am I gonna win my Emmy?"
You don't think about even -- At least, I didn't think that.
It was just kind of a weird thing.
And then when you go on stage, it's like --
you really just -- you kind of black out.
You're like, "Oh, my God."
And then you -- Don't do what I did, stupidly.
I looked at the first three rows.
-No. -That was my accident.
Because what happened was, I was here,
and then I put my head there, and then, like --
you know, then Michael Douglas was sitting in the front row.
And I made direct eye contact with him.
And I love him, but he's like... -Yikes.
No, you get nervous.
-And I was just -- I had to pause.
And I could feel the audience --
I could just feel everybody was like,
"Where is this girl going?"
-You can't look.
You can never, ever -- you can never look into the crowd.
-That was my experience. But it was --
Overall, it was great. -Yeah.
From what you remember, yeah, absolutely.
Yeah. -From what I remember, yeah.
-Are you -- everyone I've interviewed
I've asked what shows you're watching in quarantine,
and I'll say 98% of the people said "Ozark."
Everyone's watching you.
Is it awesome?
Does it feel cool that everyone's watching?
Do you have a lot of celebrity fans?
Do you know everybody who's watching?
Anyone that surprises you? -You know how it is.
I'm sure it's the same thing with you.
You know, it's a great feeling to know that people are --
It's weird, but it's a great feeling to know
that people are watching your work, you know?
Because obviously we're in entertainment.
-Was there any celebrity, anyone that kind of shocked you?
You're like, "That's cool!"
-LeBron James tweeted about it, which that was pretty cool.
-Yeah, you think? -It was very, like, casual.
And then -- I don't want to start rumors.
I don't -- I'm not 100% sure.
But I heard that Obama watched it.
-Really? Of course he does.
-Like -- I might be -- now here's the thing.
I might be wrong. I don't know.
-Well, I'll take the rumor that you're starting,
and I will spread it.
I got to say, I am loving what I'm seeing so far.
You're just knocking it out of the park.
Again, I'm only three episodes into season one.
I know there's three other seasons.
And -- four seasons. They just announced a fourth.
And the final season, correct?
-Yeah, yeah. -Can you tease anything at all?
Or no? -Um...
I don't think so.
But I will say, it's not gonna turn into
like a family-friendly comedy. [ Both laugh ]
-All right, that's good. -I will say that.
-That'll keep me going. That's all I need to know.
I'm a fan.
I just really wanted to meet you and say congrats on all this.
You're really great.
-Thank you so much. -Julia Garner, everyone.
All three seasons of "Ozark" are streaming right now
on Netflix. Check it out. You will love it.
We'll be right back with a performance
from Surfaces, everybody.
Say hi to your husband, by the way, please.
-Okay, I will.
Thank you so much. Thank you. Bye.
