famously you voice marcela's shell with
shoes on
yes uh does it bother you when people
ask you to do the voice
sometimes depending on like where like
you know where i am can we hear you do
the voice
jenny charlie
we've brought you here today to take a
lie detector test
one of you will be hooked up to the lie
detector while the other asks the
questions then you'll switch
so who wants to be in the hot seat first
how do you feel
i feel um that although i have nothing
to hide i would like to see how the
apparatus works
i'm perfectly comfortable with people
knowing that i'm lying so
we can we can yeah strap me up great
just let me know if you're uncomfortable
oh nice fit
i'm about to have a heart attack just
watching you get set up
charlie
to calibrate this machine i'm going to
ask you some straightforward questions
please answer them honestly
i'll try okay is your full name charles
peckham day
yes it is richard
he's telling the truth excel okay so i
should have said no
see if i could beat the machine
were you born in new york city i was not
he's that's a lie he's lying okay okay i
was born in new york yes you were i just
wanted to test the machine so he not
he's he said this which i said which i
meant to so okay whatever now we know it
works damn it
all right
are you ready to take this lie detector
test
yes
richard are we ready we are ready okay
all right let's get started
in the past you've mentioned that you
are bad at reading social cues would you
say that this is still true
i don't know that i was telling the
truth when i said that i think i'm okay
at reading social cues
maybe
i just kind of set it on a whim
so so that's a non-answer it's
interesting okay i think it's untrue i
think it's not true i think i'm okay at
reading social cues you think you're
okay at reading social
cues sorry
possible it's possible all right i'm in
the ballpark
okay
have you ever pissed someone off because
you misread them
yeah sure
absolutely
oh you're telling the truth what
happened
i've been with my wife for 20 years so
believe me i've misread her plenty of
times and pissed her off
even more
he's telling the truth
yes
what was your first impression of me
i liked you a great deal
oh no
[Laughter]
oh god i thought i think i thought i
liked your life
yeah
um
i'm too scared to check on that with
richard you were once asked to audition
for the role of charles manson in
tarantino's once upon a time in
hollywood but passed on the opportunity
do you regret this decision
a little bit yeah i do i think i regret
it now
likely you're telling the truth yeah
it's terrible to live with regret well i
don't regret it too much but i think i
not so sure
damn
every morning you wake up you're like
if you had accepted the role do you
think you would have played it cool
around brad pitt
no
uh
i think i would have been very
intimidated being around brad pitt
because he's
a pretty intimidating guy don't you
think
super famous yeah yeah i think i would
be intimidated and
probably charlie do you find it
offensive that someone thought you would
be a good fit as charles manson
no
i don't think i do no that's fine i've
been flattering right someone thinks i
could do it yeah it's not like they were
like hey you seem pretty psycho
it's more like hey you seem like a great
actor i'm like a good actor would you
like to play intense character profile
yeah
um
just to add this in one thing that i'm
offended about in my own career is that
one time i did receive an audition for
the character of pennywise in it
that's for real
i'm offender
that's
so upsetting but also maybe they thought
you had good range yeah you could be a
bald male clown that like eats babies
yeah did you audition no i did pass yeah
i
wasn't able to make it yeah
um many people have said that your
doppelganger is basketball player josh
mcroberts
do you see the resemblance
yes
i do do you think you like you look more
like josh
this this sports player here or charles
manson
i think i look more like josh because
we're probably the exact same height
he's an nba player i could have been an
nba player
that didn't check out
has anyone on the street ever thought
you were a different actor
well i did leave a movie premiere once
of the sam rockwell movie that i saw
and someone came up to me and said great
job in the movie and i was not in the
movie so i thought it was pretty cool
that i was like oh they thought it was
sam rockwell
it would be crazy if that was a lie
yeah it would be a very specific lie
that would be and then good liars are
like that yeah totally
you've said that when you first met your
wife you arm wrestled one of your
skinniest friends for dibs to talk to
her is that friend married
yes i think he's married now um if yes
do you think he's happy
no he's never happy
do you wonder if he ever um envies your
marriage
um sure
if you could change one thing about your
wife what would it be oh
get these on me
her temper
he's a little nervous
oh man okay um
what would she want to change about you
oh uh she want me to
be less flaky with like scheduling
things and get more done in that regard
well yep okay well it's nice that you
know yeah
so you have the key to the kingdom you
could just you know you can anytime you
want to begin yeah um i'm sure she would
appreciate it wow um have you ever
forgotten your anniversary
i don't think so okay
what's the worst thing that you did
forget
i forgot my mom's birthday once i felt
pretty bad about that oh
yeah you did yes
why would i make that up yeah i mean you
know
you would lie to you would you would
like to cover it up yeah um both your
parents are esteemed musicians and you
play a few instruments yourself
i'm sorry
it says to do that voice i'm like if you
want me to i don't know would you say
that you have good taste in music
no
that's the truth what is your top played
song at the moment
i genuinely don't know but if you go to
my liked songs and spotify it's all my
kids music all stuff that he picks and
it's all like
yes
yeah what are your thoughts on this
man's music
i don't know it you don't because i'm
old oh
i love it is that true telling the truth
yeah i'm just a little out of touch um
i think i saw him maybe perform on snl
but i don't recall the songs and do you
think you could pull off um this man's
outfit i do not i wish i could but i do
not
um did you listen to this woman's music
this year
no
why not i don't know who it is
you're telling the truth yeah me neither
i'm telling truth right i'm i'm way out
of touch this we're in a movie this is
like the best exotic marigold hotel or
whatever
romance between but i i assume
i assume
yeah that she's very famous i'm sure
final question at any point during this
interview did you lie and we didn't
catch you
no
um
not likely
[Music]
wow that's all that's all i've got
god i'm getting so nervous
time i left a game of mafia crying
because i was the mafia and they asked
me like one question i just said i'm the
mafia and then i left
okay hi jenny hi uh we're gonna ask you
some questions to calibrate this lie
detector over here just to see whether
or not you're a dirty filthy liar
okay is your full name
jennifer sarah slate
no
she's lying it's not
it's just jenny
my heart's beating so fast i'm so scared
it just seems like i'm lying but my my
real name is jenny sarah slate it's not
jennifer yeah she's telling the truth
okay i might be too hyper to do this i'm
telling you i'm going to focus
we'll say
are you from milton massachusetts yes
are you nervous yes
would you like me to do this entire
interview in a massachusetts accent sure
i'm not going to
all right richard are we ready we're
ready we're calibrated okay
you once said
that you have a sixth sense for when hot
people walk in the room
i'll be honest
did you sense anything when i walked in
the room tonight
did that sixth sense of yours ping up
no
but i didn't know
no you thought nothing are you sure
about that i just i hate this actually i
thought it'd be really fun
yeah you're in trouble i don't i when
did i say that i don't remember saying
that i had a sixth sense for one hot
does she remember saying it
um it's questionable yeah the machine's
going crazy
i'm trying to think of like who that
would have even been about i'll let you
off the hook you can pretend yeah i
don't think that but when i saw you i
was like oh charlie you look so handsome
and that's not a lie yeah but you've got
butterflies
all right fine
uh but what do you feel when you see
richard did you feel something when you
saw richard a little nervous
okay um
in 2016 you dropped an f-bomb in your
debut sketch of snl i did
do you think about this moment a lot
um not a lot so do you regret saying the
f-bomb
on tv yes obviously she's telling the
truth
do you remember if you had to meet with
lauren after yes was he cool to you
about it or was he was he was he not
nice about it
um are there other options i mean i
don't think he was cool i think they
were mad at me that i did that
yeah um but he was nice you're just a
kid let it go laura yeah yeah okay
give her a break
do you think i could have made it on snl
yes
if so why
because you're very funny and you have
lots of energy just telling the truth um
come on this thing's crazy you
don't think i could do it i definitely
do
liar that's not the
oh god i would go to jail for so many
things this this thing is lying i don't
think i could have done it um
you often mentioned that you smoke a lot
of weed
uh now that you have a child do you
still smoke every day
no questionable that's crazy i haven't
smoked weed for three years you're
breaking the machine
i'm telling you
my energy is too much you're destroying
this machine
it's like it was invented in like 1910.
how about once a week what no no no no
no no no
not that it's bad i just i actually just
don't smoke weed anymore if you find
weed in your daughter's room one day
will you confiscate it
what does that mean like throw it away
yeah will you like be like i'm taking
this
i don't think i would not without a
conversation i think i'd be like what
are you smoking this out of where did
you get it what what strain is it why do
you do this what what if she's three
i think i'll just be like
finish what you started mommy take weed
weirdos
okay
you previously talked about how your
childhood home was haunted and you could
see ghosts
does this mean you still believe in
ghosts yes have you ever been visited by
a ghost that you recognized no
that's the truth okay so we got the
machine work today i'll go back to a few
older questions that's fine yeah my
heart's no no that's fine i'll ask you
about this yeah if you're a ghost uh-huh
and you want to freak a person out yeah
why just like slide one coffee cup you
know what i mean or like you know why
not just
go ahead and pick up a kitchen knife and
float it
on your face i agree the ghosts are real
lazy yeah i mean i think
it would be fun to be doing a haunting
but probably it would be best to be at
eternal rest
you telling the truth about that yeah
yeah
um do you know who you would haunt
yeah
i'd haunt my husband and if he ever got
a new wife i would stomp on his
dick and rip off her boobs
what else would a ghost
that's what a ghost should do
that's what a ghost should do you know
what's all this you know moving in
aerosol cans and just hover over their
bed yeah
gentle moaning that's yeah nobody okay
um
when you were single did you ever go on
dating apps
no
she's telling the truth okay all right
if you were single now
would you be on dating apps
i guess i would eventually have to but i
would really hope to meet someone you
know through the friend of a friend
during a daytime event
i believe that's the truth um
which app would you go on
day date
is that even a thing anymore
i don't know
you were your high school valedictorian
and then you went to an ivy league uh
college yes so do you think it's fair to
say that you were smarter than most
people in hollywood no
she's lying i'm lying well you probably
are well you're lying she's she thinks i
think she thinks she is smarter yeah you
think you're smarter you should think
you're smarter you're smart
i don't go around being like marlene
smart opinions
what about most people in general
i think i'm smarter than most people in
general like
the people in general yes or no
do you think you're smarter than most
people
go ahead and say yes
i think you're smart it's really itchy
i i think you're smarter than most
people
i feel too um
uh did you say you're smarter than me no
i don't i don't say that i wouldn't say
that
that's a lie this thing's
pumping you know i'm you're definitely
smarter than me that's not true if
you're not smarter than me you need help
famously you voice marcela shell with
shoes on
yes
does it bother you when people ask you
to do the voice
sometimes depending on like where like
you know where i am
but like not you know one-on-one in a
private conversation can we hear you do
the voice
yes
oh yes okay let's hear it
uh okay i am currently taking the lie
detector test and it's definitely making
me pretty nervous but i'm gonna ride it
out that sounded like a lie was that the
truth
tell the truth okay jenny did you enjoy
being on a lie detector yes
that's not true that's true probably not
you pathological iron you can't help but
lie no
that's i think i'm i mean what's really
sort of frightening about this is like i
actually think i'm trying to tell the
truth and then the machine which is
basically like a suitcase the machine
doesn't lie do you worry that you don't
know what the truth is sometimes yeah
at any point during this interview did
you lie and we didn't catch you
no
yeah because we caught you lying yeah
because you didn't catch that's great
but the sad thing is you weren't trying
to lie i was well i mean that's even
worse but i really
first of all i just don't like that crop
of questions about about you being funny
enough to be on snl because certainly
you are
i didn't say funny enough
well i think we're all done jenny you
did great don't ever join the c.i.a all
right uh it's you you know this is not
your thing thank you so much
