What was the third?
A lesbian named Danny.
Which was the most fun?
Probably Danny.
What's up, guys? Nikki Novack here in the Young Hollywood Studio with Descendants star, Judy Greer.
I was star? Awesome.
You are a star. So, welcome. We have a drink.
I know.
For you.
I saw that. Non-alcoholic because we just had the kids from the film here. However.
I know.
I never touch this stuff.
Shut the front door. Oh my god. Really? That's a fun surprise for me on camera. Cheers.
Should I have my little cocktail for myself?
You go ahead. Aw. That's nice. You look so pretty and fashionable. Please don't feel like you have to put it on.
I'm putting it on. I'm a team player. And we won't make the obvious joke. Oh, about getting laid? Yeah. Oh, we're not supposed to use this. Go for it.
I love that you're cracking it open.
Yeah, you're my last interview today. So I'm totally cracking it open. Perfect. There's a little for you and a little for me. All right. So we can get started now.
Before we get started.
Yeah, let's get started. Mmm. This is the most fun I've ever had. Really? I think I could use a little more but we'll do that later.
Sure. So Descendants while we're while you're still able to talk.
Right. Who is he? I'd like to know who the guy is that my wife was seeing. So, um I know everybody asks you what it was like to kiss George, which I'm not going to ask.
Really? Okay, then I'm going to tell you. Because I can imagine we can only dream. I can only dream. I know. I can only dream because honestly, um I it was a long day. We did many takes of that scene.
That's what I that's what I wanted to ask you. There you go.
Many takes and I don't remember it. So I'm excited because tonight's the premiere. I'm going to go, I'm going to watch that scene again and see if it like stirs up anything. Oh, you probably know my husband then, Brian Speer.
No, I can't say I do.
Oh, I just assumed. He's been Dad. Don't hit me. It was nice talking to you. You too. Take care.
You have a wonderful scene.
Thank you.
In The Descendants. Yeah. that I heard you said it was like you waited your whole life to shoot this scene.
Yeah. I mean I waited my whole life so far to work with Alexander Payne and it just was really awesome that I got like a nice meaty role, you know. Small on the paper, small on screen but like a really good, good through line, a good character and that's pretty rare.
With your meaty role on Two and a Half Men, cuz you've played two roles now in Two and a Half Men. Three, if you include, yeah, kind of, yeah. What was the third?
Well, I played um Herb's sister a couple years ago. Yes. And then I played I play Ashton Kutcher's ex-wife and then and then I played a lesbian named Danny.
Which was the most fun?
Probably Danny.
You haven't got to kiss Ashton Kutcher yet.
Maybe I have and you just haven't seen it yet. Or to come. What?
So you also have a web show. You're a host too.
I know. I do this. I do this. So. Awkwardly? Yeah, it's on Yahoo and it's something that I came up with for fun that uh just I was kind of just wanting someone else to pay for me to learn how to be healthier. And so, um turns out if you sell a show to Yahoo, they'll do that. So I get to ask like a trainer and a chef and a and a health coach and um some of my friends like the things that they do to stay healthy or lose weight or whatever. My trainer, uh she gave me five exercises that you can do anywhere, which that one's really great because sometimes it's hard to get in a workout, you know, when you're traveling and you're really busy.
Can you do it sitting here?
I'm not going to do them right now and not in this dress. I'll bust it right open.
Um I was thinking just like flexing your abs.
Oh, well there is something you can flex while you're sitting here if you want. What? Sure. Um. And then I also learned to my friend Sarah Chalke said she drinks like she makes fun little tea drinks to like instead of having like chocolate or sweets or cookies. Tea drinks. Tea people.
On that note, should we have another? Okay. Okay. Should I keep my lei on? Absolutely. Cheers. Cheers. Thank you for coming in. Cheers. Young Hollywood.
