00:00 I had this jacket custom-made.

00:02 This is from Rich-er-et, Richie Rich's line,

00:05 because I did his fashion show in Art Basel

00:08 and he gave it to me off of him, which I think is so cute.

00:11 And my pants are Good Counsel,

00:13 which is like really great big guy clothes,

00:15 and I'm feeling good tonight.

00:17 Well, listen, you're the icon, the legend,

00:20 you are the moment.

00:22 How exciting is it to be here and see this new iteration

00:25 and breathing new life to Mean Girls?

00:27 I think I love it.

00:28 I'm a fanboy at heart, so I love when things get reimagined

00:32 and there's sequels and remakes.

00:34 I love when something I love gets celebrated.

00:37 So to be a part of this is really fun to see that happen and unfold.

00:41 Did you get to talk to the new cast at all or give them any advice?

00:45 I've been in the DMs, but we're all going to meet tonight,

00:47 so I'm excited to meet Jekyll tonight.

00:48 I haven't met him yet.

00:49 You haven't? Oh my God.

00:51 Maybe it'll happen right now on the car.

00:53 Once we get away from all y'all, we're going to have a kiki going.

00:57 We're going to get it. We're going to get the kiki going.

00:59 I had to ask, the chemistry between the original cast was also insane.

01:04 Do you guys all still keep in touch?

01:05 Do you have little hangouts here and there?

01:07 I think it definitely feels like we went to high school together.

01:09 We kind of check in on each other.

01:11 I hang out with some of the other ones more than others

01:13 because the ones that live in New York, I see them when I'm here.

01:16 But it's a little different.

01:18 I see Jonathan a lot. I see Rajiv.

01:20 And we got to do that Walmart commercial, which was so fun.

01:24 Talk to me about that because a lot of you guys reunited for that.

01:28 Yeah, I mean, what a cool thing to be able to step into the character again

01:31 and kind of give the children what they want kind of thing.

01:33 So we're all waiting on Tina to do the sequel, so maybe you could push her.

01:37 I know, we're trying to push her. Maybe mean moms?

01:39 Mrs. Norbury's a pusher, but we need to be a pusher and get her to make a sequel.

01:43 We need it.

01:44 Finally, I have to ask, so many iconic quotes from the original film.

01:47 What is your favorite, and do people still ask you to quote them all the time?

01:52 Oh yeah, people ask me to quote it all the time.

01:53 My favorite quote from the movie is not my quote, and I think it's an under-celebrated quote.

01:57 But it's when Regina three-way call attacks Katie and says, "I know your secret."

02:04 And she says, "What are you saying about?"

02:06 I thought that that was a typo in the script, so when I saw the movie and she actually said,

02:11 "What are you saying about?" I died.

02:13 I thought it was so funny, and still it tickles me every time.

02:16 And Lindsay makes the most perfect, "What the heck did I just say?" face.

02:19 At that moment, that gets me every time. It tickles me.

02:21 It was a good experience.

02:22 It was a good experience.

02:23 It was a good experience.

02:24 It was a good experience.
