We called each other last night. We have the same color scheme. You look amazing.
Blue and black all the way at Comic Con. That's the way to go.
You look better.
No, no. Oh my God. I don't think you I could possibly look better than you. You look amazing.
Is this a person?
This is Black Widow, Scarlet Johansson. I'm missing the red wig. Oh, awesome. This is my version.
I just need some gold paint and I'm going to be your Emmy statue.
Oh, thank you very much.
Congratulations. That was my odd way of congratulating you on your nomination.
Oh, no, I appreciate it. Thank you very much.
Where were you when you found out the news?
I was asleep, and Rob, right there, woke me up.
Rob, don't wake him up.
Well, I guess there was a good reason. He woke me up at 5:45 and said, uh, he's my publicist, and he woke me up and said, hey, you got nominated for an Emmy. And you were back to sleep. And I went, oh, okay. And then I woke up and made coffee, and my wife and the kids, everyone was asleep. So I just sat there and was like, all right, well, what do I do with this information? I I just sat there and drank coffee and going to waited for people to wake up. And then, uh, then I had to go to the DMV. That was it.
The life of a Hollywood actor.
That's what people say. I went to the DMV and I bought curtains. I mean, that's what I did. So, yeah.
If we all work together, this should be easy as pie.
Oh, oh. Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2. It's all about inventions. What is in your opinion, the best invention of all time?
You know, it hasn't been invented yet. Oh. But I really want a silent hair dryer. That would be make me really, really happy.
What do you think the best invention of all time is?
Well, it has to be the toilet, right? Like, wouldn't everyone disagree with that? Like, that's just number one on everyone's list, right?
I thought french fries, but yeah, I guess you kind of no, forget it.
No, I mean, it has to be the toilet. Like, if if guys from like the caveman came here, Yeah. they'd be like, what? This is great. You have a toilet? Right? This totally makes things better.
The paper is even better than the toilet.
Yeah, thank God.
So this film is all about food animals. Yeah. Did you have a particular favorite?
It's hard to beat the tacodile. The tacodile supreme, I think, is pretty great. It's a big taco that feet and it, uh, yells like a Tyrannosaurus Rex. There is also a cheese spider. There's mosquito toast, there's shrimp panzees. Um, I know I'm missing so many.
It's making me hungry in a weird in a very strange way.
I know. So this film is also about food. Food combinations. You are going to Subway. What is the Bill Hader sandwich special? What is the Anna Faris sandwich? What is do you have like a go-to?
Oh, um. I just like turkey sandwich, provolone, uh, little lettuce.
I like like turkey and ham combo with a lot of mayonnaise. That I don't know if that's gross. Mayonnaise is my favorite condiments.
What's your favorite?
Yeah. It makes everything taste it makes every sandwich to live. It really does. But like a big one, yeah. It's the fun.
Yeah. Oh, I like that you did it with your hand. It was almost like you were a sandwich artist there. It's like you sprinkle it on like pepper. You're like this thing, yeah, exactly. You're wearing the colors. You could actually work there.
Yeah, I could. I I am. I'm going to work right after this. Yeah, but I was thinking, my husband and I were thinking about food fusion the other day and we came up with guacanouche.
What's that?
Oh, yeah. Like Baba Ganoush? But it's guacamole. It sounds so disgusting, doesn't it? But it's a really funny thing to say.
This is what happens when you work on this film. It's like a hybrids of things start popping up.
Yeah, exactly.
And do you have a vocal warm-up? So I know a lot of voice actors do that kind of thing.
No, my I just whine a lot. That's all I do. I just whine to the directors and they're like, Bill, come on, we need more energy from you, because I'm kind of always half asleep. So, and we were doing this, I was still on SNL, so I was just like always tired, you know.
Right. And on that note, we'll just go out very mellow.
