-Welcome to the show. Thank you so much for being here.
I appreciate it. -Thanks for having me.
-Yeah, this is a big --
a big weekend for you, which is interesting to me.
I did not know this.
Your goddaughter hosted "Saturday Night Live."
-Yes, she did! Zozo. -Zoe Kravitz is your...
-Zoe Kravitz. Yeah. -...is your goddaughter.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Mm-hmm. She killed it. She killed it.
-She was fantastic. -Yeah.
-We have a picture of you and --
This is you and Lisa and Baby Zoe.
-Oh, yeah. Well, you can't really tell it's her, though.
-No, you can't tell. Yeah, that's Zoe right there.
-Take our word. -Exactly, yeah.
-And why I'm wearing a towel on my head, I do not know.
-Yeah. -I must've been chilly.
-Is this from, like, "A Different World"?
Is that where you met? -Yeah.
Well, we met before "A Different World," actually.
-Oh, you did? So you've been friends for a while.
-Yeah, we met in -- Yeah, in -- like, an acting workshop.
-Did Zoe ask for any advice on how to host?
You've hosted "Saturday Night Live."
-I did, many moons ago.
And she doesn't need any advice.
She's got it. -She's just so cool.
-I mean, I was there to cheer her on, of course.
-I ask her advice on anything.
I'm like, "Zoe, just tell me how to be cool."
-I ask her for advice. -Yeah, exactly.
-It's the other way around.
-I saw that yesterday marked the 30th anniversary of
"My Cousin Vinny," which is -- [ Cheers and applause ]
One of your great films that we all love.
When you're doing that -- When you do that movie,
when you were filming it, did you have any idea
it would be that big of a hit or that you would win an Oscar?
-No. [ Laughs ] I was just happy to have a job.
-[ Laughter ] -I don't know.
Who is the person who thinks, "I'm going to win an Oscar"?
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-What kind of cajones are you walking around with?
-Yeah, exactly. But it became the biggest movie ever.
I mean, I think Vice President Kamala Harris
said that that's her favorite movie.
-Kamala Harris said that? -Yes.
That's her favorite movie.
"My Cousin Vinny." Loves it.
They teach it in colleges -- in law-school classes.
-That I knew. That part I knew. Yes, a lot of --
Many a lawyer have kind of used that line on me.
-Did they ever ask you come in and, like, speak?
-They ask me to come in and speak.
They ask me other things. -Yeah, that's wild. Yeah, yeah.
-[ Laughter ] -You've been -- You've been --
You've won and you've been nominated for many, many awards.
But there is an honor that I'm not sure if you know about.
There's a sandwich named after you.
The world-famous Lioni's deli in Brooklyn.
-Oh, really? -The Marisa Tomei.
-I don't know that.
-Well, it's a very exclusive club.
-[ Laughter ] -So, on the sandwich is --
tell me if you like this --
fried eggplant. -I like it.
-Fresh mozzarella. -Love it.
-Bread crumbs. -Love it.
-And mushroom stuffing.
-Not in a sandwich. Ohh. -No mushroom stuffing?
-I'm disappointing the Lioni's crew, I guess.
-No. Not a mushroom fan?
-Well, I like -- What about yourself?
-I do not like mushrooms. I don't like mayonnaise, either.
-Oh, yeah...palate.
-Mushrooms and mayonnaise, that's the only thing I don't --
Yeah, I don't enjoy those. Yeah.
Well, if we could talk to those guys --
I figured if you've never heard about it,
maybe you've never tried it.
I got one with no mushrooms on it.
-Ohh. -I got two of them actually.
I figured you could try your own Marisa Tomei
on "The Tonight Show."
Marisa Tomei eating a Marisa Tomei.
[ Cheers and applause ] -Okay.

Do you have napkins for us and everything?
Do we have a napkin? -Oh, I do.
-I feel like this is going to be awkward.
-[ Muffled ] No...
Yes!
[ Cheers and applause ]
♪♪
That's fan-- What do you think?
-I have to lean over with a sandwich this big.
I, like, can't do it, like, right here.
I'm gonna make a mess.
-No, you can barely even talk when you have a bite.
Can we talk about "Spider-Man: No Way Home"?
-Yes. Yeah. -You were fantastic in this.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Really -- You're always -- You're great in all of them.
It's made almost -- I know.
It made almost $2 billion worldwide.
I mean, it is a giant movie.
It's the third-highest grossing movie in history.
-It's so cool. It's so cool.
It's really a cool thing to be a part of.
[ Cheers and applause ] -But it's a great movie, too.
I loved every single second of it.
You play May Parker. I love -- I love you.
I love Tom Holland. I love Zendaya.
I couldn't get enough of every single person in this movie.
I go, "I don't want it to end.
I want it to just keep going on and on."
Is it tough to do those movies
knowing that you can't spoil anything or talk about anything?
-Well, yes, at first it is, because you have to sign
a lot of things and it's all under secrecy.
Friends will ask.
Or family members will ask about it.
-So you're happy it's out. -I'm happy it's out.
I'm happy it's out now.
And I don't have to keep that secret anymore.
-Yeah. I mean, I wouldn't bother you
with questions, like, if I saw you on the street.
-You wouldn't?
-No. I'd just be like, "I'm cool."
-Would you just like -- -I wouldn't do it.
Because I already know the thing.
The answer is, "Jimmy, don't make me do this," yeah.
So I wouldn't do it.
And then after seeing it, wow, there's some spoilers.
-There are some spoilers. Yes. Yeah.
But maybe a few people don't know yet.
So we can't -- we still can't talk about it.
-We still can't t-- Yeah. Can we not talk about --
-Mnh-mnh-mnh-mnh-mnh-mnh-mnh!
-Can we talk about the -- -We can talk about mnh-mnh --
-Can we talk about that? -Yeah, we can talk about that.
-We can? -If we want to.
[ Laughter ]
I have no idea what he's talking about.
-The fact that there is a multiverse.
-Oh, yes. There is a multiverse.
-Okay. We can say that. -Yes.
-Yeah, I don't want to ruin it for any fans out there.
-Right, yes. There is a multiverse.
-If you haven't been to the movies --
-That was part of the secrecy, though. That's true.
That was part of the secrecy originally.
Now a lot of people know. -Yeah.
But the thing was, if anyone asked me about it,
I would have nothing --
I don't understand the multiverse, myself.
-[ Laughter ] -So you couldn't spoil it.
You'd be like, "I don't know what it is."
-Our wonderful director, Jon, and I'm like,
"And so where am I now?
Okay, well, can you explain it to me one more time?"
-[ Laughter ] -Yeah.
Well, knowing that there is a multiverse --
-Yeah, what do you think -- Are you done with the sandwich?
-[ Laughter ] -No, I can go for it.
I actually really --
[ Cheers and applause ]
♪♪
Now...
[ Muffled ] Now...multiverse...
[ Both mumbling ]
-Yeah.
-Do you think that --
[ Laughter ]
Do you think that you would ever do --
Would May Parker be in a multiverse thing?
Would you ever want to do something with --
-Yeah, I would love to come back
and be part of that -- I want to be --
-Like, a different movie?
-Yeah. -You would do it?
-Yeah. There's history there, too.
May Parker hooks up with Ant-Man in one of --
Well, I mean, she's a stand-alone character,
of course. -Yes, of course.
-But there are more avenues to explore.
-All right. I'm going to root for that right now.
-Is there anything in my teeth?
-Let me see. I will tell you. No, you look beautiful.
I want to show everyone a clip.
Here's Marisa Tomei, not the sandwich,
"Spider-Man: No Way Home."
Take a look.
-I just feel so dumb.
I didn't realize you were miserable.
-No, it was really fun. That's why --
You know, that's why they call it a fling.
And we flung. -It was fun.
I could have been more fun.
I can be fun. -We'll hang out again.
-Wait. When do you think?
[ Objects clattering ]
I should see what that is.
-No. No, no, no, no. -This is what I do.
-He's always coming and going. It's not --
-Peter. -Oh, no.
-Oh, God. -Oh, no.
-Peter? -I don't know what to do!
-Peter!
[ Cheers and applause ] -Marisa Tomei, everybody!
