close you know cart magic tricks oh are they just similar things do you think I think they're a little bit similar am I wrong no I think you're right actually yeah and um the psychic told you that you were a psychic basically that you had uh the ability to see the future and Etc did you agree with that at the time uh no no so I mean I'm barely a psychic about the past for example I I have my memory just sucks and so you're telling me this about me being on the show yeah no memory no memory of any of that yeah so uh yeah yeah well that did happen and um at the time you seemed very open to the idea that you too were a psychic yeah I like the idea maybe she just meant you were just as much a psychic as she was yeah she was trying she she probably sensed I was questioning her and she wanted me to get off her back maybe you're at the Sundance Film Festival over the weekend I was yes is that fun I've never been to that I have to say there's something about it that's really fun it's very

you're you're trying to promote your your project your film and you you're walking down a snowy Street and you walk by somebody and it's like I don't know Jennifer Connelly and she's all wrapped up

definitely saw glimmers of like my real mom in this character you play yeah wanting so wanting so badly to be positive and inclusive and all of these things to the point where you it's very alienating yeah I mean my mother didn't go as far as your character did no no no no no I mean it's a bit of a I mean I'm definitely pushing it in the characters but uh hopefully people uh recognized her um what shall we say her her tone deafness yes yes to any Social Security her well-meaning tone deafness yes yes Dave Duchovny plays your husband he does in the movie Yes Jonah Hill's your son yeah the film yes and how did you like working with Jonah oh please I feel I feel like first of all I've known Jonah all my life and uh adored him we had so much fun we were howling the whole we have a shared love of a fart joke oh and so that sort of bound us as soul mates and so as a rap gift I gave him a fart machine oh yes yeah yes yeah and I thought that was thoughtful yeah sure the little remote control guy and then he had to once we finished shooting the movie he went off to do press for don't look up remember that great movie and uh he was there at with Meryl Streep and Adam McKay and my fart machine and he they're talking about the climate crisis and the environmental message of the movie and he lets that thing rip sure yeah and um and he did it so many times I believe it was confiscated by Adam McKay well you know mess part of the climate crisis correct yeah correct so Meryl Streep was sitting there and he's making fart noises come out of her [Laughter] that's the way Eddie Murphy is one of your co-stars which uh Eddie Murphy is um I mean listen I meet famous people all the time but yeah Eddie Murphy is a guy who's almost like mythological in a lot of ways totally you however have known him since uh what 1982 I believe this Photograph this incredible photograph was taken now this is a little rascal sketch right yeah are you playing Darla from The Little Rascals here I am you got Eddie Murphy playing buckwheat and then we've got um Robert Blake that's right Robert Blake what do you remember about Robert on on this evening remember what I told you about my psychic memory yes nothing nothing I remember nothing I'm I'm I'm it's lucky I remembered that that was Darla I was playing is that a real you don't remember nothing or your lawyers told you to say you don't remember anything are you pleading the fifth what about Eddie Murphy who is almost a teenager here right yeah totally I mean we were both we both got were on the show when we started when we were 21. and uh so that was like 70 80 years ago and and um it was funny because working with him on the movie it was it was like a high school reunion it was so bizarre and he by the way you'll see when he comes on the show he looks exactly the same yeah I mean it is it's like he has definitely made a deal with the devil because this guy looks amazing no he doesn't look like like this specifically but yeah you know um I have a clip from that has been somebody uploaded this clip and I wonder who did it because it seems like it should not have been uploaded to the internet uh-oh uh you might know I'm sure you know about it because it's got many many millions of views now you were on another beloved sketch comedy show um that show being Sesame Street and you did something that I think many would find Unthinkable which is you cursed in front of Elmo I did in five four three two so that's it the Grump needs sharks gonna be a rich Muppet at the end of this day [Laughter] oh it is always great to
