Jenny Slate on Her Butt Being Out at the Oscars, Daughter's Love of Girl on Fire & Stand-Up Special

our next guest is a very funny woman and Sho wearing shell her new standup comedy special season professional premieres Friday on Prime video please welcome Jenny [Applause] slate very good to see you hello do you remember last time we uh conversed it was over Zoom I was going to say it was a computer conversation but over Zoom is the right way to say that on the show uh during Co actually yeah you just you just had your daughter right I was wearing the exact same dress and I had just had my daughter and you still have your daughter I assume i' I've seen her around uhhuh yeah she's doing great yes I still have her she's a full-fledged toddler she is how old how many years 20 29 she's she's three she's three years old oh that's fun huh is it fun are you enjoying it I think it's very fun I think um it's nice to see someone be so like willful you know cuz I'm more of a like you know like a little bit of that every now and then um it's nice the one thing that I think is maybe hard is like the earworm situation she doesn't have worms in her ears um what I mean by that is listening to the same song Oh yes learn yeah yeah even great songs what songs is she listening to Alicia Keys Girl On Fire oh wow she's oh wow really cool my daughter too loved still loves that song but she Lov as yeah three years old she would belt it out I mean let them do that I I really like it but what I like for me is that it's in here almost at all times and like we're speaking and you know this is a television show but inside my head it's [Music] like yeah yeah that's it are there other songs that are in there or just that one have you heard the one from Moana that's like you're welcome oh yeah yeah sure that one's in there too 247 it could be worse it could be baby shark that's one that was in there for a long time oh I have that as well I just can't speak about it if you unleash that Genie it does never goes back in oh man yeah don't even get me started on Hot Potato by the way my daughter uh one of her favorite movies is Marcel the shelle with no shoes on shoes on rather yeah and we've watched it many times and it really is a wonderful movie you were nominated last year at the Academy Awards for Best animated uh feature correct that is correct yeah and also you were in everything everywhere all at once uh which one best uh picture yeah right yeah yeah it was a it was a really um it was a really really exciting time time and I'll also say that my my karmic balance really showed up whatever that is for me in that uh we also got lost on the way to the Oscars you got lost on the way to the how is that possible yeah I mean first of all let me back up and say that I was lucky enough to wear a beautiful gown that I was like I was sewn into the Gown yeah right like a living doll um but with this personality and these Tendencies and they were like you're in and I was like so when would I go to the bathroom and they were like oh not our problem honestly yeah um so I was like in the dress beautiful gown and um I'm also aware that this story is unrelatable in a way um but if it weren't such a embarrassing tragedy uh you know I wouldn't tell it at all but um oh okay all right go ahead we're going to be fine I'm going to settle in yeah do you have the time um okay so what happened was I went to the Oscars in a sprinter van standing up no way is that really true why because you can't get wrinkled you can't sit at all you can't sit at all well so they were like you can sit when you get there but you know you can't sit down because you'll get wrinkled and if I may I'm just going to stand up I'm going to show you okay so it's a sprinter van which I'd never been inside of because I'm trying not to get kidnapped um and I'm like this I'm like this let me get that good okay so I'm like this and my husband was like holding my butt on one side and my the the my stylist who got me this beautiful dress is holding me on the other side and we're like driving around town and I'm like I'm going into the Oscars mom um and then um they're like you'll be there in 17 minutes this is an ordeal but it'll be fine okay so then like a bunch of time goes by and I obviously have no idea what's going on but I was like this feels longer than 17 minutes which again like I don't know how long that is um but we show up at the Hollywood Bow um I don't know that's just like not worth the Oscars are no a totally different place no just not at all not even doesn't even make sense it's a huge outdoor Amphitheater yeah the guy the the driver was like okay here you go and I was like oh I don't think I do go here and he was like well I don't know and I was like you don't know and he's like well do you have you ever been there before I was like do the Oscars obviously not I'm like sewn into my dress and I'm not allowed to pee like you know this is not like a Julianne Moore situation where I'm just like elegant and like really know how to do this like I was like so then so we're there Julianne Mo well I feel like she knows how to do yeah right yeah it's like have you been here I'm like I've been to the Hollywood Bowl to see Florence in the machine but I by mistake drank an entire bottle of wine by myself I don't know how to get here I don't even know how I got here then and I don't remember leaving so anyway finally we make it to the Oscars and I'm like oh oh we got to get in there our award for best animated feature was the first one up I get on in there I sit down and it's splits and it's like and guess what was out my butt and not by choice no no no yeah no it was out how much out like all out I would say it was half crack half crack and people if you were like to walk up on stage that everyone would see that oh for sure okay so we're the first award up my butt's out we lose right away right so they have you because you're like I'm so glad that actually I'm the loser and like you're like on TV and I'm like my husband's sitting next to me I'm like my butt's out my butt's out my butt's out bab out he's like should we leave I'm like I don't know let's just go get a drink so we go we go get a drink we come back and our seats have been taken um by a team of Belgian filmmakers the belgians are clogging up your seats yeah they're clogging my seats uhhuh so then we go sit in some other seats that are weirdly more on camera and I'm like I should just go like let's just get out of here man my butt's out and I lost which is fine and then I was like oh no I'm actually like at a career high right now like I'm in two films but my butt's out yeah as I keep saying and then it ended up that everything everywhere all at once won many awards including best picture yes yes and yeah totally deserved it and when that happens totally wonderful and then and you were expected to go up on stage I waddled up there holding my butt Clos oh yeah I was on the stage in the back I was like I'm here I'm back here I'm like thank you so much I'm back here and then uh as I waddled off holding my butt but clothes I saw you and I was like so good to see you and you're like yeah great to see you totally normal and I was like he doesn't know my butts out I don't think anyone know I never know when people's butts are out that's the whole thing it's one of my things it's I can't go to the zoo yeah that's the wholewood secret well it all worked out I guess I think so I believe so I mean I'm not in jail and I want to mention your very funny uh standup comedy special yes which um is called uh a seasoned professional yeah and um also you're writing a book of essays is that correct that is correct what makes it an essay why why is it an essay oh man this is the time when a student is like actually can I go to the bathroom really yeah right yeah um I guess what makes it an essay is that it has a point that it's trying to make and it's not like fictional and it uh what do they say say what you're going to say say it say what you said who says this that's a teacher say any teachers I wasn't you know what honestly I wasn't paying attention yeah no we're both in trouble you're out of here your butt's out get out well it's great to see you and uh
