-How does one sit?
-Yeah. You kind of sit -- Yes.
-I don't even know how to sit pregnant.
You know what I mean?
-You can do whatever you want to do.
-It's sort of that, like, Kardashian,
like, end of seat thing. [ Laughter ]
-You always sit and have good posture, yeah.
-Yeah. -I'm so happy. Hi, baby.
-Hi. Hi, Jimmy. Hi.
-Baby, you just got a standing ovation on "The Tonight Show."
Not bad, huh? -We're on "The Tonight Show."
Do you like it?
-This is so exciting. This is your first baby.
How is it going? How do you feel?
-I -- Okay.
So, I'm feeling really good,
but I feel a little guilty about it, I guess.
Just 'cause I'm just like -- People are like, "I'm so sick."
I was sick for a bunch of months, and then after that,
I was like, "This is the coolest thing ever."
-Yeah.
-I mean, it's the coolest thing ever.
-I'm happy. We're all happy you're not sick.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Now that I'm not puking, I'm like, "This is really cool."
At the time, I was like, "I'm torn."
-Yeah. -Yeah.
-It's so wild because the movie that we're about to talk about
is just unbelievable timing.
You're pregnant, and the movie is about getting pregnant.
It's bizarre.
-We filmed this like two years ago,
and I was very much not pregnant, and then --
[ Laughter ]
Not even a little bit pregnant.
And so, also, it was like we were going to do festivals
and then COVID pushed it back and then this festival
was still pushed back.
We were going to bring it out in April.
And, like, now it's just I'm just so pregnant,
as I am in the movie.
-It's so meant to be. -It's actually creepy.
[ Laughter ]
-No.
If your baby is anything like you, what do we have to expect?
-I was -- I mean, I really loved to perform as a kid.
I was like -- [ Vocalizes ]
You know, me and my brother would make
all these comedy videos, but -- -Oh, really?
You mean this girl liked to perform?
[ Laughter ]
-That is 1990s Long Island dance competition realness, okay?
-That's what I'm talking about right there.
-We're talking Suffolk County. -Yes!
-We're talking paying to get into the competition.
What kind of scam is that, you know?
That is -- That is real. -That is so cute.
Oh, my gosh. -Hilarious.
-I want to talk about this
because this movie is not hilarious.
This is actually a thriller.
-Yeah. It's really disturbing. -Yeah.
[ Laughter ] -It's -- It's really scary.
"False Positive" is a psychological thriller about
how the patriarchy is expressed through medicine,
particularly pregnancy medicine, and it's literally scary.
-Yeah. How'd you come up with that?
I mean, I know all comedians are dark, but I mean --
-Yeah.
-This is a great idea, and it's well done.
I mean, everyone in this is great.
Justin Theroux is great. Pierce Brosnan.
-Is he scary or is he scary?
-And the funny -- He's James Bond.
He's the best-looking dude, the nicest dude.
-I know. He's, like, such a lovely human
and so, so handsome that it was like, "Is this gonna work?"
It was actually scarier how handsome he is.
It was like, "You're creepy, dude."
You know what I mean? -He did such a good job, yeah.
-Ooh! -Did you have to, like,
in between takes, go like, "Okay, I'm acting, I'm acting.
I'm not really this creepy."
-We like -- It was, like, so built up.
You know, in comedy you get that release where it's, like,
in the scene, you're whatever, farting, making out with Dratch,
you know what I mean? And you're laughing during it.
-Sure. -Or, like, right after.
But afterwards, we'd be like -- [ Whimpering ]
Like, me and Pierce getting the, like, "giggles" of --
You know what I mean? Of creepiness.
It was scary.
-Well, we already kind of set up the film, basically, right?
-Yeah. -So I just want to show a clip.
Here's Ilana Glazer in "False Positive."
Take a look at this one.
-Mummy brain is a real thing, Lucy.
Prepartum depression hits about one out of five women.
-Listen to Dr. Hindle.
You should be enjoying this process.
-We now know that Xanax is safe at .25 milligrams
starting with third trimester.
-So this won't affect Wendy?
-Wendy?
No. No, no.
Try and take care of yourself, Lucy.
Hmm?
Do that for me?
-Smile, Lucy.
It actually makes you happier.
It's scientifically proven.
