-It is so great to see you.
-You see, after "SNL," I dance.
I work in this building now.
-You have an ID here now.
You were great hosting "Saturday Night Live."
Congratulations. That was fantastic.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Were you nervous going into it?
-Oh, my gosh. I was freaking out.
On Monday, I got there and I was like,
"There's no way I can get through this week."
-Oh, really? -And then -- Yeah.
I mean, no one can prepare you for that, whatever they say.
Just so much going, you know, going on
and coming at you, and it's terrifying.
But, you know --
You know, you just have to make fun of yourself
and don't take it seriously and just kind of go with it.
-And at the end, don't you feel like...
-And then on Saturday, I was begging them to bring me back.
-Yeah.
-I was like, "Please have me again."
-Yeah. When you're done, you're like,
"Alright. Let's do it one more time."
-It's incredible. It's the best experience ever.
-You mentioned in your monologue that you're about to
become a U.S. citizen.
-I am. -So that's exciting.
-Well, I think so.
The guy, after the interview, he was like,
"Yeah, you're approved.
So make sure you don't do anything
before the oath ceremony."
I'm like, "What am I going to do?"
-Yeah. Wow. -What?!
-You don't know when the ceremony is? Or it's soon?
-I do. Next month. Yeah. -Next month. Congratulations.
-Yeah. It's pretty cool.
-You're gonna be a U.S. citizen. It's a big deal.
-Yeah, it's a big deal. I love it. Yeah.
It's very special.
-How long have you been in the U.S.?
-I think about eight years.
-Yeah. Eight years. -Seven, eight. I don't know.
-And New York City was the first place you came to?
-I did, yeah. This was --
The first time I ever came to the U.S. was New York.
And this is where I found my -- my little dog, Elvis.
Yeah. -No way.
-This is where Elvis -- -Elvis is a New Yorker.
-Yeah. -Yeah. It was meant to be.
-Why did you -- Elvis?
-I was going out and about in New York,
and I got in the wrong subway,
so I had to go up to the street again
to get, you know, downtown.
And he was there in the -- in a window, in the glass.
And I was like, "That's my dog."
So all my girlfriends went back to Spain with new bags
and, you know, clothes and new fashion.
And I went back with a dog. -Yeah.
And why did you name him Elvis?
-Elvis is -- At the time,
I was just listening a lot to Elvis Presley.
It was what was going on.
It was my ring phone -- like the ringtone.
And it was all about Elvis. -I love that.
Well, it's been such a year for you because not only "SNL"
and not only, of course, citizenship,
but you also were nominated for an Oscar.
Congratulations for that. Well-deserved.
-Thank you. -Well-deserved.
You were so great in "Blonde."
How did it feel? What were the Oscars --
What did it feel like? Was it amazing? Was it --
-It was -- It was amazing. -Yeah.
-It was -- It was also an experience
that you can only, you know --
You have to be there to know what it feels like.
It was pretty surreal.
-Yeah. -It was awesome.
-Did you end up meeting new friends?
Did you sit at a fun table? -A lot of people.
You meet a lot of people -- all these actors
that you've always been, you know,
looking up to and admiring their work.
There was one in particular that I was very, very happy to meet.
-Yeah, and this is Ke. Ke Huy Quan.
-Yeah. -Yeah. Who won an Oscar.
-Who won an Oscar. Who won everything. Yeah.
-How did you meet him at first? -I met him --
I was at the Governors Ball. -Yeah.
-And he came to me. And I was by myself.
And I didn't know who he was, and he asked me for a selfie.
And then, of course, you know, if you've seen his Instagram,
he posts selfies with everybody.
And my boyfriend saw the selfie and he was like,
"Oh, my God! You met Ke!"
And I'm like, "Yeah. Who are you talking about?"
He's like, "He's Data from 'The Goonies'!"
[ Laughter ]
-He is! -And I'm like, "What?!"
-Yeah, I know, but I grew up, like --
For some reason in Cuba, they would play "The Goonies"
all the time on TV.
Like, this was one of my favorite movies ever growing up,
and I didn't realize that Ke was the guy from "The Goonies."
-Yeah, he was a kid at the time. Yeah. Now he's a man.
-This selfie was so horrible.
I'm so serious because I'm like, "Hm." I don't know.
-You didn't know him. -I just didn't know.
I didn't get excited. -But then you saw him again.
-I saw him, and I was like --
I ran to him and I was like, "I need a selfie with you!"
-Yeah. Exactly. Right. -Then I was very, very happy.
Of course. -Well, I have two pictures.
I have two selfies.
Here's the one that he took when you didn't really recognize him.
[ Laughter ]
And then here's the one after you went up to him.
You're like, "Oh, yeah! Hey!"
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Yeah.
-Let's talk about -- Let's talk about your new movie.
"Ghosted." It's with Chris Evans.
Gosh. He's just fantastic. He was here last night.
-I saw it. -You guys are great together.
This is your third movie you've done together?
-Yeah. Third movie together. -"Knives Out."
-Yeah, we met in "Knives Out" and "Gray Man."
-"Gray Man." -And now "Ghosted."
-Yeah. So you've thrown up on him in "Knives Out."
You've killed -- You've shot him.
-Yes. I shot him in the butt. -Yes. And now you --
-Threw up on his face.
And in this one, I'm trying to --
Well, I kiss him. I'm nice to him.
-You save him. -I save him.
-You save his life. -Even better. Yeah.
-Yeah. -The idea -- I love it.
It's basically you guys,
two beautiful-looking people, meet, and they go,
"Oh, let's go on maybe a date."
So they go on a date, and then you ghost him.
-Well, I'm working. -Yeah, but he doesn't know that.
He doesn't know. And so he goes, "Wait."
So he got ghosted by you. He's like --
But then he realizes that he forgot that you have his --
-I got his inhaler, which has one of those.
-He put an Apple Tag on it. So he can track you.
And he's like, "Wait. I'm going to find out.
Maybe it will be romantic. She's in London.
I'll go surprise her and be like..."
-Don't do that, people. Don't show up.
-Yeah. It's called stalking. Don't do that. Yeah.
-Don't do that. -Don't do that. Yeah.
But he's embarrassed. He's like, "Alright. I took it too far.
I texted her too much. That's why she's ghosting me."
Then he finds out you're a secret agent.
-Yeah. -You're a spy.
And you are a kick-ass spy. You're fantastic at it.
-I try. Yeah.
-Yeah. I want to show everyone a clip.
Here's Ana de Armas and Chris Evans
in "Ghosted" on Apple TV+. Take a look.
-I really ate it up, too, didn't I?
Especially that sob story about your coworker that died.
That is low!
-That was actually true. Her name was Elena.
-And she really died?
-I may have killed her.
-What?!
-She was an enemy agent. She worked for these guys.
-You said she was a coworker.
-She was -- in a loose sense.
-See, this is what I'm talking about.
It's just lies and lies and more lies.
-It's no lies and more lies.
It's the sub-lie of the first original lie.
-You're unbelievable.
-Yeah, that's right.
"Ghosted." Ana de Armas.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Last time you were here,
you were talking about how one of your favorite ice creams
is my ice cream, which is The Tonight Dough.
[ Cheers and applause ]
And so I loved that so much.
And that's why I wanted to celebrate your big year
by maybe having a spoonful together.
-Listen. If you give me ice cream every time I come here...
-But wait. I'm gonna do one better.
Because you said, actually, if you wanted to change
the flavor, we were like, "What would you do?"
You go, "Maybe I'd add a little..."
-Condensed milk. -Condensed milk.
Well, our friends at Ben & Jerry's heard this
and wanted to send you a message. Take a look.
-Hi, Ana. I'm Ben. -I'm Jerry.
-We were so excited to hear
that Ben & Jerry's The Tonight Dough
is your favorite ice cream.
We love that you're a fan and came up
with something in our kitchen for a special one-day-only
one-time-only surprise.
-Jimmy, can you show Ana what we come up with?
-Since it was a dream of yours...
-You're kidding. -...to have your own flavor,
we like to make dreams come true.
Here's your special one-time-only
Ana de ArMAS Leche.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Oh, my God! -Come on! I'm not kidding!
You got to try it. It's condensed milk.
It's condensed milk in the ice cream.
Here's the recipe on how to make it.
That's your condensed milk right in the middle there.
Oh, my God.
-You can see it. Yeah. There you go.
-This is too much.
-We wanted our studio audience to join in
on the celebration, too, so everyone in the audience
is going home with some Ben & Jerry's tonight
and the directions to make the...
Come on! Ben & Jerry!
Ana de Armas! Come on, everybody!
Her movie, "Ghosted," premieres globally this Friday

Ana and I are playing a brand-new game
when we come back. Stick around.
