- Hi, I'm Jean Smart.
I'm here with Hannah Einbinder,
and we are taking the Buzzfeed co-star quiz,
to see how well we actually know each other.
- I think I'm gonna win.
- I think you are too.
(Hannah laughs)
- 'Cause I know nothing about you
'cause you're--
- Got me.
You already got me.
(upbeat music)
- Okay, so the first question is, birthdays.
I know that you're September.
September, November?
September.
And then at this point, I'm just throwing out.
God.
I'm gonna go September 19th.
- Close.
September 13th.
- 13th.
- Lucky 13.
- Lucky 13, okay, I won't forget it.
- And I have forgotten your birthday.
I'm thinking that it was February.
- Unfortunately, I am a Gemini, Jean,
it's May 21st.
- Well so, oh, that's right.
Oh, that's right, it's coming up.
I'm so sorry, honey.
Okay, you win.
- I love you, no problem.
Your middle name is Elizabeth.
- Very good.
And your middle name is Walter.
(Hannah laughs)
- Yes, it's a family name,
how'd you know?
- My brain is a sieve,
I do not remember your middle name, what is it?
- It's Marie.
- Oh, the same as my mother, did we talk about that?
- I'm sure, probably.
- Oh my god.
- Well, I know yours is Elizabeth
because I think I once said
that your middle name is beautiful
and you were like,
"It's Elizabeth."
I was like, "Pretty sure it's beautiful."
(Jean laughs)
- The first time we met would be screen test.
- On the sound stage at Paramount, for your audition.
- Got that.
"Their first job, either acting or not".
Well, I know the first play you were in,
which was,
I just know that it was gay.
I don't remember the, it was like,
it was like something with blue, the word blue in it.
Right?
- But it was not, it was not my first play.
Probably about my 30th play.
- 30th.
Well, wasn't it your, was it your...
- It was my first play in New York.
- In New York,
that's why I remembered it was the first.
Okay, so no.
- And I believe your first job was a pole dancer.
- I prefer lyrical, rhythmic, metallic dancer.
Within the community
we prefer lyrical rhythmic metallic dancer.
Yeah, my first job was very much the TV show "Hacks".
- I worked at a hospital when I was 15 and a half.
- Oh, my.
- And they would show me things and ask me things
that no 15 year old should see or be asked.
It was like, "Oh, I'll go get a nurse.
Excuse me, oh".
- No.
- Yeah. - How'd you get that job?
- I just applied for it.
(Hannah laughs)
- Their favorite scene you filmed together on Hacks.
The interview scene.
- You mean the scene where we meet?
- Yeah. - For the first time?
Yes.
And I think your favorite scene that we filmed together...
(Hannah laughs)
- Oh, our kiss.
(laughs) The dream scene. - Duh.
Their giveaway that they're about to break character
and start laughing.
It's never happened for you.
You've never broken.
I don't know that I...
Really?
I mean, I have...
- Well, we were pretty good about that.
We wait until they say cut and then we fall apart.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
Their favorite snack from crafty.
One is your favorite candy, which I believe is peanut M&Ms.
And I would say that your favorite snack from crafty
would be tuna and crackers.
- Yes.
And I'm, I don't know if it still is true,
but I'm thinking that your favorite snack from crafty
is apple peanut butter sandwiches.
- You're correct.
- You're still ahead.
- Yeah, well, I'm obsessed with you, so that helps.
Their dressing room must-have.
- Yours better be the blanket I gave you.
- That's pretty much all I have in there.
The only thing I have in my dressing room
is what Jean has giving me.
I mean, I kind of wanna say flowers,
but I also feel like
it's like a comfy blanket pillow set up.
- Well, I think it has to be,
I have to have the temperature at a certain level.
- Oh, of course, it needs to be warm.
- I keep it really warm.
People can't stand to come in there,
it's like a dry sauna.
- Jean runs so cold, it's insane.
I mean...
- Cold hands, warm heart.
- It's true.
Okay, "Their go-to order at a bar".
I believe that you are a, a dirty vodka martini.
- Yeah.
Or a Chardonnay, either one.
But yeah.
You don't really drink.
- I don't drink, yeah.
It would be mineral water probably.
- Oh, I guess sparkling water.
- Hell yeah, splash of pineapple juice.
That's like the non-alcoholic fun drink, if you don't drink.
- It's a mocktail.
They call 'em mocktail.
- [Hannah] "Their favorite comedy series of all time".
- Okay, I have to say for you, cause I don't know,
I'll have to say SNL.
You don't have to lie if it's not your favorite.
- You know, I guess collectively,
it might be my favorite, but God.
I also count like, SpongeBob as a comedy series.
If we're talking sheer volume of hits,
I might have to even say SpongeBob, which is kind of--
- Okay, I lose on that one.
- For you, comedy series...
- Not one that I was in.
- No, okay.
Well that that's a short list.
Friends?
- That is like a close second.
And it starts with an "Fr."
- Oh, Frasier, but you're in that.
- Oh, but that was just a guest star for a little bit.
I'm sorry.
Okay, I led you astray.
- Oh, I was gonna say--
- I only did like six or seven episodes.
- Okay, honor system, on God,
I was thinking Frasier.
- Okay, now you win.
You win.
You get that one.
- I'm gonna give myself that.
But I was like, "Jean's in it".
You won an Emmy for it.
She's like, "Oh, I was just on it for a second".
(laughs) You have an Emmy for it.
What are you talking about?
Okay.
"Their favorite swear word".
- Is yours the F-bomb?
- I think it's probably the C-word,
cause I use it selectively.
You gotta save that one, but it's a good one.
It's one that you use it selectively, and you never use it,
and then you use it,
you really communicate the meaning of the word.
- I would think so.
Okay, I lose that one too.
- Mother(beep)?
(Hannah laughs)
- No, I never say that.
Such a terrible word.
When have you ever heard me say that?
- That's the thing, Jean doesn't really swear.
- I say, (beep).
- (laughs) You whisper it.
You are so polite.
Finally,
"The actor and/or project
that made them want to become an actor".
(Hannah laughs)
- I don't know,
I don't know that there is a pinpoint for either of us.
I don't know that there's like a specific one.
- It was a play I did in high school.
- Ah.
Maybe it's Jim Carey.
I keep talking about him, but I think it probably is.
He's like one of the most mind blowing performers
I've ever experienced.
I did just answer that without letting you answer it.
(laughs) I'm sorry.
Oh God, you know what?
You get that one.
- I was gonna say Jim Carey.
- You, honor system, I believe you.
You, you can take that one.
- So I only got five points.
- Okay.
I got 8/12.
Look, folks, let me just say something right now.
It's not about the details.
It's not about the historical.
You know, the dates, the this and that.
It's about this.
And this, you can't take a quiz for.
That's all I'm saying.
Okay?
- I just can't believe I forgot your birthday,
that's terrible.
- No, you know what?
It's whatever.
I'm not a big birthday person anyway.
So, I'm not running around town screaming about it.
We can't air this, Jean feels bad.
- I thought your middle name was Ein all this time.
Hannah Ein-Binder.
(both laugh)
- Thanks Buzzfeed.
Make sure you tune into the show Hacks on HBO Max,
only on your screen.
(both laugh)
- [Jean] I still think Hannah Walter is cute.
