Desi is like the only person who can act natural and ask funny questions of Plaza, this was a great interview.

[sethjoyce]

I think so much of Aubry's deadpan slightly smirking sarcasm comes from not taking most of her interviewers seriously or respecting them, but here she's so level (still a little weird and smirky) because she really does respect and feel comfortable with Desi, so there's less of a guard up. Desi comes off as a really genuine, honest person, and she can be wicked mean too with people she doesn't respect or like in much the same way. It feels like a case of real recognizes real and because they're kinda kindred spirits is why this interview felt so... normal.

who doesn't love Aubrey and Desi??

[xhkzrmj]

Two of my favorite people in one place at the same time.

[pthomas]

SO much beauty and brilliance on one stage. It's overwhelming.

[DavidB]

This gave me so much anxiety to watch. Aubrey said that Coppola put her through an intense improve workshop and then Desi proceeded to turn the interview into an intense improv workshop.

[sciam]

Those shrooms mellowed Aubrey out. Super chill.

[HiyaCaffy]

LOL! Did Aubrey Plaza just make a Random Hearts reference in 2024. *be still my heart* AND mentioned my girl KST. This woman never disappoints.

[dewimatthews]

" How much Tucker Carlson footage did you have to watch?"
Oh Desi, could I love you any more?!

[jessenathan]

Note to whoever wrote the captions: it's "this is basic cable", not "it's a basic table".

[JamesYates-lhkx]

Desi could be the next Oprah. She knows how to work a guest.

[Sagerydian]

I don't get the part about January 7th. Why can it be "incriminating" to mention that date?

[coreywall]

Plaza is a boss! I'd follow her into battle.

[SILVER_JP]

I take it whatever network this show is hosted by is in direct competition with Disney?

That Agatha mention 😂 was that even a second? “Yes Agatha” then immediately gets moved on.

[megthehappygoth]

This is making me realize that Aubrey is not interviewed by women super often.. huh

[LouisDuran]

2:17 Aubrey suddenly realizes she's not wearing a bra

[geronimo]

ouff, that megalopolis clip seemed like satire, it was that bad >__>

[lukehenderson]

When Desi takes a week off, Aubrey is going to have to cover the foxvestigations. "28 billion hours..."

[creasteve_]

I wonder how nobody seems to remember that disgusting milk ad Aubrey did. I can't watch anything with her in it ever since. And I'm usually not someone who gets negative on the web, but to me that ad is her legacy.

[GenghisVern]

I have no idea what they're babbling about... I can't move ... das ist unterbooben?
