- Hello, I'm Isabella Gomez, and I play Elena Alvarez.
- And I'm Todd Grinnell, and I play Schneider.
- Hey guys, I'm Marcel Ruiz, and I play Alex.
- I'm Stephen Tobolowsky, I play doctor Leslie Berkowitz.
- I'm Rita Marino, and I play Lydia.
- Hi, I'm Justina Machado, I play Penelope Alvarez.
and we are the cast of One Day at a Time.
And we're here to take a buzzfeed
quiz to see which character we are.
So let's go.
(upbeat music)
- I think I'm kind of hoping to get
I mean, either Elena or Penelope.
- Can I say Max?
Is Max of the options
- I would like to be Penelope.
- I'll probably want to be Alex,
just because I'm a teenager,
and if I don't get Alex something's wrong.
- I would probably like to be Penelope.
- And I would say that I would want to be
either Penelope or Elena.
Okay, first question.
How would you describe yourself?
Supportive, ambitious, adventurous,
outgoing, charming, loyal.
- There's a couple of these.
I think I'm a fine person, so let me see.
This is very difficult.
Very difficult indeed.
I would say I'm, supportive.
- If I had to put them all in one, and pick one,
I'd say ambitious.
- I used to be ambitious.
I used to be adventurous until I broke my neck.
So now I'm supportive.
- Can you call yourself charming.
Like I feel like that's
- I do it every day.
- I think I'm going to go with loyal.
- I'm going to go with supportive.
- And you mami?
- I'm going to go with loyal.
- Pick a school subject.
We're going back to school.
English, there's math, science,
history, foreign language and art.
- Art
- I'm going to go with math.
- Oh?
- I can't draw or doodle or do any of that stuff.
And I'm really good at math.
- Oh wow, good for you, I suck.
- You are, I remember when,
like the first day that we met,
I was like oh, this is a young lady,
who's really intelligent,
and like gonna be getting her master's degree
while we're in season four or something.
- And I didn't.
- I'd say foreign language.
Learning a new language is always good.
- Definitely for me, science.
- I would definitely be artistic.
So it's art.
- Which one day at a time character
would you trust with a secret?
Avery, Sid, Max, Ramona, Mirtha or Berto?
- This ones hard, but I'll say Berto.
just because I feel like Alex and him would get along.
- I kind of agree with you.
Berto is also very dead.
(Marcel and Stephen laugh)
I'm going to go with Max.
- Ramona.
- Berto, I feel like that's a no brainer.
- Interesting, I was going to say Max,
because I feel like Berto would tell Lydia,
you know what I mean?
And then I feel like Ramona would tell everybody.
- Yes.
- I'm going to go with my onscreen partner,
and real life partner and say Avery.
- Which TV series would you love to guest star on?
Grey's Anatomy, Brooklyn Nine-Nine,
What We Do in the Shadows, This is Us,
Stranger Things, Wynonna Earp?
- Nobody's a stranger to the fact that I would,
maybe kill to be on Grey's anatomy.
I am shameless about it.
Every time there's an opportunity to tweet out,
if anybody from Grey's is watching, I will be an extra.
- This is an impossible choice,
but I'm going to say Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
They just looked like they're having
so much fun in that show.
- I would also say Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
- I would say Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
- I'd love to see Rita on Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
That would be really fun.
I would probably pick Stranger Things.
- I would have to pick Brooklyn Nine-Nine
even though I think they already
have a bald policeman.
- There's always room for two.
- What is the one skill you wish you were really good at?
Cooking, dancing, singing, drawing,
playing an instrument, playing a sport?
- I'm going to say playing a sport
because I'm so not coordinated.
You guys have seen me throw things on set.
It's supposed to go this way.
And it goes that way and every way,
and they just, they cut it.
They go don't throw anymore.
- I've always wanted to be a front man
for a rock band, be like Freddie Mercury
or Mick Jagger or one of those guys just killing it.
- I'm also going to say singing.
I feel like if I could sing,
I would actually be a musical theater baby.
I feel like that world is so like ugh to me,
but I sound like a dying cat, so I'm going to say singing.
- For me, no question singing,
so I could sing more with Rita Marino.
- I'll probably pick playing an instrument.
- I wouldn't give anything to draw really well.
I love drawing.
- Okay, choose a family sitcom.
All in the Family, Black-ish, The Brady Bunch,
Modern Family, Full House, or Sister, Sister?
- Might I say all of these are great.
- All of them
But it's a no brainer for me, it's All in the Family.
- Same, I grew up on that show.
That's the show.
- Full house, I grew up watching the reruns of,
and it has such like a nostalgic piece of my heart.
So I'm gonna say Full House.
- I'm probably going to pick Modern Family.
- It would have to be All in the Family.
I grew up with it.
I would love nothing more than to
at least live next door to Archie.
- Next door is a good idea because
he says some pretty vicious things
but I still love All in the Family.
I love that family.
They are wacky and they're bold,
and sometimes they're even brave.
It's a good pick.
- Our final question is, pick an important moment
from One Day at a Time.
When Elena came out to Penelope,
when they scattered Berto's ashes,
when everyone danced with Elena at her quinceañera,
when Penelope left a message to herself,
when Lydia Schneider became us citizens,
or heck whenever Lydia opens the curtain?
- There's nothing more iconic
than whenever Lydia opens the curtains.
So I have to go with that.
- I agree, that's awfully iconic.
I would have picked a when everyone danced
with Elena at her Quinceañera, because it,
to me it describes what the entire show is about.
- The most moving one of these to me that's
when they scattered Berto's ashes, and again,
in a way, it's very much what the show is about.
- When you said this one, I got goosebumps.
And it's when everyone danced with Elena at her Quinceañera.
- I'm partial to that one too.
- Yeah, that was it.
That was the moment when I was like,
this show is going to do something,
something cool in the world.
- Oh my God, I got Lydia. (laughs)
- You got me?
- That is crazy, I got Lydia.
- I got Penelope.
- And I'm Penelope!
I got my Penelope.
- Both of you guys got the ones you wanted, that's amazing.
- Bam!
- Penelope!
- What? I got Lydia.
- You got Lydia, I got Penelope!
- So Lydia, your personality matches Lydia.
You are confident, charismatic, and empathetic.
- Like Lydia, you wear your heart on your sleeve.
You're extremely adventurous,
and you love to try new things.
- And you're often described as the life of the party
because you always like to have a good time.
Okay. I get it, I get it now.
- Fine. I'll take it.
I'm not mad about it, I'll take it.
- Your personality matches Penelope.
You are strong, independent, and hardworking.
- Like Penelope, you're a natural born leader
who loves to take control of any situation.
- Your friends and family often turn to you
when they need advice.
- You're someone who is constantly
striving to be the very best version of yourself.
- That does sound like both of you.
I am constantly in both of your dressing rooms being like,
so here's my life, what do you think I should do?
- And then we give you advice and you don't take it.
- Yes I do.
- Do whatever you want anyway.
- I'm very happy to be Lydia as well.
I'm glad to be the life of the party.
And also it makes sense.
I already have the hair as well.
