00:26We met at Saturday Night Live.

00:27Yes, we met at Saturday Night Live.

00:28That's the real answer.

00:29We met doing a skit.

00:31Where she played a mermaid.

00:32I played a mermaid.

00:33And he played a handsome sailor

00:35who discovers me on the rocks.

00:37And he sings.

00:39And we're singing about how attractive we are to each other.

00:42And we're so attracted.

00:43And then I told him I have fish genitals.

00:46And he's like.

00:47I didn't like what I was hearing.

00:49And he's like, hold on, let me rethink it.

00:53Wait, you did.

00:54How many cards?

00:54I don't want to talk about it.

00:55Stop looking at my cards.

00:56Okay.

00:59Reese is very elegant.

01:01Oh, that's so nice.

01:02She really is.

01:03But she's also passionate about her work,

01:07her family, her causes, this and that.

01:09She's very formidable.

01:10So you might think that as intimidating,

01:12but she's a super compassionate person too.

01:15So I.

01:17I'm not going to talk about it.

01:18I'm not going to talk about it.

01:19I'm not going to talk about it.

01:20So I.

01:25Okay, these were my first thoughts.

01:26First of all, sneaky.

01:28Number one.

01:29Because he thinks of sneaky little comedy ideas.

01:32And he gets these smirk.

01:33I can see he gets this long distance stare

01:36when the director's talking and I'm like,

01:38he's coming up with something so crazy right now.

01:41I'm going to not break.

01:42I am going to hold my face.

01:44Because he's like, sneaky.

01:46Sneaky little, but also the funniest things ever.

01:49Okay.

01:51Number two, number one is sportsy.

01:52Not sporty.

01:53Sportsy.

01:54Oh.

01:55Because.

01:56Sportsy?

01:57Sportsy.

01:58Because you kind of talk about like,

01:59sportsy stuff.

02:01And then you like, but you also do sportsy stuff.

02:04Like, he leaps in this movie and tries to catch.

02:07But I'm not necessarily sporty?

02:08I mean, sporty is different.

02:10Like that's like somebody who plays sports.

02:12That's not like, that's a reach.

02:13But I thought sportsy, because you like sports.

02:16Yeah, I do.

02:17You go to a lot of sports.

02:18Right.

02:19And then also.

02:20I've played a fair amount of sports.

02:21You've played so many sports.

02:23In this movie, you do so many like,

02:25athletic things that require.

02:28Someone who's sportsy.

02:29Sportsy.

02:30And you also look good in sportsy stuff.

02:33Singular.

02:34He's a singular sensation.

02:36To quote a chorus line.

02:38And he is a once in a lifetime king of comedy.

02:43He just is.

02:44I can't take it.

02:44I know.

02:45I can't take it.

02:50What is your most embarrassing memory

03:00Yeah.

03:02Embarrassed.

03:03Do you have one?

03:03This isn't embarrassing for me,

03:04but I remember we made Leigh-Anne Morgan

03:06say something so about, it was like a poop joke.

03:10And she.

03:11And she turned.

03:12I mean.

03:13And then she got to the end and she was like.

03:16I'm having to say all this stuff about diarrhea

03:19in front of all these handsome men.

03:21And they're just not gonna think I'm attractive.

03:25That's so good.

03:26She's a wonderful mimic.

03:27I should have said mimic.

03:30We can only go forwards.
