Yeah, that's great.

announcements at your high school.
- Yes.
- I did, yes.
You didn't know that?
We never...
- We never knew this.
- Okay.
- Oh, fun to find out.
- I loved it, I, I, loved doing it.
- In between first and second periods, right?
- I, we, it was, it was before first period for, for us.
Like, yeah.
I loved it.
I did it for two years.
- Was it pretty straightforward, just informational?
- [Host] Yeah was there a script?
- It was informational.
And then on pep rally day, Lily Tomlin had a character
called "Edithan" and I kind of modeled my character to
get all the kids ready for the pep rally.
Her name was "Ebiliat".
(laughter)
- Nice.
- That's how...
- That's how it works.
- I love it.
- Does your high school have like a
a propagandist who also does it just
like releasing propaganda to the children
before they start the day?
That's what my, that's what I, that was my job.
- Oh?
- Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
- You were propagandist.
- Yeah, lead propagandist, yeah.
Kitsilano Secondary School, yeah.
- You just had no questions about that.
- Not at all, of course not.
You gotta shape minds, you can't let them evolve.
- Wow, wow.
- I was in charge, we were writing announcements to
sell senior class t-shirts to raise
money for our, our senior activity.
You know, a big trip to Disneyland or whatever and...
- You grew up in Southern California,
how's that a big trip to Disneyland?
- I mean...
(laughter)
- Good point.
- It was still big.
- You could moonwalk to Disneyland in high school
- But it was...
- People were trying not to go to Disneyland.
- [Ryan] Yeah.
- We were really excited about Disneyland.
- I'm always excited about Disneyland.
- [Host] I mean, yes.
- Okay, yeah.
- But we didn't go, we didn't sell enough T-shirt.
- I was gonna say, you didn't sell enough T-shirts
- I'm just kidding, we went, we had a great time.
And, and if, if I'd known if you
wouldn't have been invited, so anti-Disneyland
- No probably not, no absolutely not.
(laughter)
Absolutely not.
- As a talk show host I'm required
to ask you about your first jobs, I'll start.
- Sure.
- My first job was driving ice cream trucks.
I was a Mr. Softy ice cream truck...
- You were a Mr. Softy truck driver.
- Wow.
- Yeah, I was a Mr. Softy ice cream truck driver.
- Oh they would've fired me.
I would've eaten all of the...
(laughter)
- I mean well, it, we were dropping like flies.
It was like 13 of of us hired to be, like,
the all female contingency of Mr. Softy
called Queen Frostine.
- I parked cars.
- [Host] What did you do?
- I was at valet.
- [Host] Oh, cool.
- I parked cars at a, at a hotel.
And I got, I once left the keys from another person's car
in a car that drove off for the night.
- [Octavia] Oh.
- Oops.
- So they called me at home.
They're like, "Do you have any spare keys on you?"
Cause sometimes you grab a bunch
of different keys to pull up cars in a row.
I was like, "No, I don't."
He was like, "We think you left the keys."
And, uh, and these people had to just stay at the hotel.
I don't know.
I, somehow, I didn't get fired.
- I was about to say, were you still gainfully employed?
- I was not let go.
- [Octavia] Wow.
- Yeah.
- [Octavia] Wow.
- [Ryan] Good lord.
- Octavia?
- I worked at a marketing research company
and I worked in the casting office.
- You were a casting or you were
assistant casting director weren't you?
- And the thing is, I now look back and I probably
wouldn't have gotten the job cause
they were they were terrified of me.
I kept showing up every day.
Hey, have you got anything for me to do?
I'm glad to do it.
- [Ryan] Wow.
- And they finally hired me.
It was like psycho.
I just kept showing up.
- [Host] Really?
- I did, I was persistent.
- That's amazing.
- But I was a little psycho when you think about it.
Like, "Hey, I'm here."
(laughter)
- She won't go away.
- You're living the dream though.
- I, well, be persistent guys, but you know.
I think, thank God I have kind eyes and not crazy eyes.
- I was gonna say, it'd be hard to turn you away.
- [Ryan] Wow.
- You know?
- You willed it to be.
I willed it...
- You willed it.
- [Octavia] I willed it.
- Speaking of Will.
- That was awesome.
By the way, that's, that's a talk show pro move.
- [Ryan] Yeah.
- Talk show host pro move.
- [Host] Speaking of Will...
(clapping)
(audience cheering)
You willed it.
I'm willing this segue to Will.
Your most famous Christmas movie, until now, was Elf.
Do people scream lines at you all the time from it?
- Yeah, there's an array of different lines
from the film that people will...
"I'm buddy the Elf."
"What's your favorite color?"
People will just say to me,
and I'm like, "You're buddy the Elf?"
(laughter)
"But I'm buddy the elf."
Anyway, they like to do that.
"Santa, I know him."
People will scream at me.
- [Host] Aw, Yeah.
- And, uh, "You sit on a throne of lies."
- [Ryan] Oh god yeah.
(laughter)
My daughters used that on, on me every day.
- "Smell like beef and cheese."
- Yeah.
I'm assuming these were like improvised or maybe not.
- Yeah, I think, I think a fair, fair amount were.
- No, having known now, you did
a lot of writing on that movie, I would guess.
- [Host] Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Beef and Cheese was improvised.
(laughter)
- It was cheese and beef in the script.
- [Ryan] Yeah.
- Right, right.
