-Welcome back to "Late Night." We're here with Tina Fey.
You sent me a very lovely text
that was both complimentary and maybe a little concerned
after you saw "Day Drinking with Seth and Lizzo."
-Yes.
I watched it, we all did, and it was hilarious
and fantastic, and Lizzo is the best, obviously.
But I texted you and Shoemaker and said, like,
"But you don't really drink all that, right?"
And Shoemaker wrote back, "He does drink all of that,
and he actually drinks more than that
and we have to cut it down for air,
because the network is worried it's irresponsible."
[ Laughter ]
And so then I went back and I re-watched, like,
Ina Garten, and I became concerned for you.
-Yeah. -That's so much alcohol.
-I know, it's...
And I'm not getting any younger.
I really wear it for, like, a full week.
-I was gonna say, 'cause I wanted to say to you,
"Can I do an imitation of what I imagine
your lovely spouse, Alexi, must feel like
when you come home from one of those?"
-I'll tell you how accurate it is.
-Okay, 'cause I feel like, if I were your wife
and you came home from day drinking with Lizzo,
I would be like this.
I'd be like, "It was good?
Okay. No, th--
No, we don't want to go out for subs."
[ Laughter ]
"No, the kids ate.
Okay.
Wow."
[ Laughter ]
"Either brush your teeth or go to bed."
[ Laughter ]
Is it that kind of a...?
-And I will tell you that two back,
she said, "I have an idea.
I think you, when it's over,
I think you should stay at a nearby hotel."
[ Laughter ]
-I actually sort of assumed that maybe you did.
-She was like, "Why don't you let yourself off the hook
for a night?" -Yeah.
Instead of coming back and being like,
"Oh, she was so funny? Great."
-Yeah, yeah. She loves hearing --
She loves me being really drunk, sort of like just
singing the praises of a pop star.
-Oh, of Rihanna, yeah.
-"Rihanna's so real!"
-I bet. She's so real.
-She's so happy. That was her happiest day.
[ Laughter ]
When we were texting, when you wrote me that,
I was like, "Where are you?"
And you were in London, working on a movie
with Kenneth Branagh.
-Yes! -That's amazing.
-It's crazy, right?
So yeah, I got to go to London for three months
and work on this movie called "A Haunting in Venice."
Which -- I'll come back when it comes out.
I'll tell you about it then. -Okay, okay.
-But I loved getting a chance to live in London
and come back, I'm insufferable.
I say things like "jacket potato" now.
-Oh, wow. That's a good one.
You've got to really be there for like --
-"Do you have a jacket potato?"
What?
It's so nice there.
Oh, my gosh, the subway system is like -- mm! -- stab-free.
-Oh, that's nice. You don't miss it a little bit?
You don't miss the thrill of like,
is today the day I get stabbed?
-Yeah, I don't miss the, like, "Serpico" vibe, no.
You can buy wine in the grocery store.
Also everything has adorable names.
Every product has like, everything's cute.
So you'll be like,
"Can I just get some fizzy nobblers?
They're tampons, right? The fizzy nobblers."
[ Laughter ]
"And the gabbledy-gos?
The suppositories for when you're constipated, yes."
Everything's just charming.
-Those are the gabbeldy-gos? -Yeah, gabbeldy-gos.
-Oh, that's helpful to know.
-Yeah, if you get there, you want to get gabbeldy-gorps,
'cause you've traveled.
-'Cause you know how I am when I fly.
-You don't.
-I need them like, immediately.
-But it was delightful,
and I'm sure you know from your one night drunk in the hotel,
being away from your family
is wonderful.
[ Laughter ]
It's wonderful.
-The only thing that's better than me being in a hotel
a block away,
being away from your family in a different timezone?
And you gotta be like, "I tried to call.
You were asleep." -Yes!
My husband would call me and be like,
"Both dogs have diarrhea," and I'd be like,
"Oh, it's night time here.
I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry."
And then they got to come to London for Christmas,
which was great. -Perfect.
-And we all had a wonderful time,
but I felt like a person who had
escaped a cult and then was pulled back into that cult.
-That scene where the cult find you.
-Yes, where like, the weird guy in shorts comes to you and says,
"Hey, you've really forgotten your belief system.
Remember, what we believe here is that you gain value
in your life by picking up our wet towels."
[ Laughter ]
"This is who you are.
Look, look how many shoes we brought."
[ Laughter ]
-We're very happy you went back.
-And I was like, "You're right, you guys are probably right."
And then I came home.
-Well, we're very happy to have you back in the city.
-Thank you. -Last thing before you go,
there's gonna be a new season of "Girls5eva" on Netflix,
which is really exciting. -Yes! Very excited.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Yes.
Seasons 1 and 2 are still available on Peacock,
our friends at Peacock have those.
If you are a jacket potato in the UK,
you can see 1 and 2 on Netflix. -That's great.
-Elsewhere in the world.
And then Season 3's gonna be on Netflix.
We're starting shooting soon. I'm super excited.
Meredith Scardino is the funniest person in the world.
And of course, Paula Pell, Sara Bareilles, Rene Goldsberry,
