-Hello. -You look gorgeous.
-Welcome back to "The Tonight Show."
-Thank you for having me. It's always my favorite.
-I love that you're here
and I love that you come on our show.
And I'm so -- I want to say --
I want to say congratulations to you, you're newly engaged.
-I sure am. -Come on.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Whoa! -[ Laughs ]
-Yes. -Now, how was --
Tell me about the proposal. Was it a surprise?
Was it planned?
-I secured the rock.
My work here is finished.
-Yes! You did it! -I will just let myself go now.
No, um, well, I -- I wasn't necessarily surprised
because I was like, "Listen, you know,
I'm out here on the streets. You gotta lock it down."
-Okay. -I was like, dropping hints
left and right.
I was like, "Babe, wow my nails look so good."
[ Laughter ]
And we went to Mexico for the holidays
and he, I guess, set up this whole grand thing
and then that fell through.
And so, on Christmas Eve, he was setting up this dinner
on the balcony, but I thought it was Christmas Eve dinner,
because I thought Christmas Eve was reserved for baby Jesus.
So that was, I was like, "Oh no, I --
it's probably not going to happen tonight,"
and then it sure did.
-Wow. -It sure did.
-You shared the evening with baby Jesus.
-With tiny baby Jesus. -Yes.
And -- [laughs] and you had this beautiful dinner
and you go, "Yeah, it's just perfect.
-It was amazing. I'm so happy.
-And you told me that the ring is very extra special to you.
Why? -Yeah, so he worked
with this Vietnamese, family-owned jeweler
from Canada -- Paris Jewelers -- to make it,
and he knows how important my heritage is to me.
And he knows that paying it forward
means a lot to me, as well.
And so, he worked with these beautiful ladies there,
and I'm -- I'm so happy and I -- Yeah, I can't believe it.
-I'm so happy to see that. This is great.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-How did you first meet?
-Well, we met at an Emmy party, and I slid in,
I got his digits, and I -- as we were leaving I was like,
"Oh, hey, hey, hey. Um, I thought of this joke,
but I forgot the punch line.
Can I have your number, and then when I remember it later on,
I'll just text you."
And so that's how I got, yes -- -Wow, that's a good move.
-A smooth criminal.
And, yeah, so then I texted him like 30 minutes later,
and I said, "Well, well, okay.
What do you call a pile of kittens?"
-What do you call a pile of kittens?
-A meow-ntain.
[ Light laughter ]
-A meow -- -A meow-ntain.
-A meow-ntain. -And that's how you get
a fiance. -There you go.
And that's exactly right.
It worked out perfect.
You know, it is Nana Week here at the show.
Would you like to give a shout-out to your grandma?
-Yes, my grandma loves your show.
Um, so, hi, Grandma.
-Hi, Grandma! -Look, it's my friend.
-Look, Lana is doing great, Grandma.
-Thank you. -We're giving you a big hug.
That's so good.
I wanna talk about your movie, "Moonshot."
-"Moonshot." Oh, oh!
Cole really wishes he was here.
He sends his love. -The funniest --
-He's the best. -I love Cole Sprouse.
-Yes, he's awesome.
-He is a fun human being.
-It -- honestly? It was so much fun to work with him.
It felt like -- we shot it last summer --
it felt just like we were at, like, daycare, weirdly,
like, all -- every single day on set,
because we were always just having so much fun,
and it's about basically these two people
who are stuck in a spaceship together,
traveling through space and time to get to their loved ones.
So it's, like, an adventure rom-com,
but, like, that's I feel like not even a genre.
Like a feel, like, that's, like, such a niche.
-You're starting a new genre.
-Like a sci-fi, weird, rom-com is what it is.
So if that's your thing, watch it.
-It's a sci-fi rom-com. -Yeah.
-Yeah, this is brand new. No one's seen anything like it.
I want to show everyone a clip.
Here's Lana Condor and Cole Sprouse in "Moonshot."
Take a look at this.

-Initiating ambient sound control.

-Hey, you cannot under any circumstances
leave my room, okay?
-What? -I will sneak you in food,
there's a bathroom, it'll be like...camping.
-Okay, clearly, you've never gone camping before.
And I -- I'm not going to spend my first trip
through space on the toilet.
-Because you prefer the air ducts?
-Because what do you think happens when two people
are trapped in the same room together?
-When two humans are confined for an extended period,
it results in either more humans or fewer humans.
[ Laughter ]
-Yeah. [ Laughs ]
-Well done. Lana Condor, everybody.
"Moonshot" begins streaming this Thursday on HBO Max.
We love you.
-Thank you for coming. -Thank you so much.
-Congratulations. So happy. -Thank you.
