0:05From Studio 6B, Rock and Bummer, Stemper in the Heart of New York City, it's the Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon. And I join Jimmy the set, Pete Davidson, Meghann Fahy, Léa Seydoux, and featuring the legendary Ruth Curry. 2368! And now, here he is! Jimmy Fallon!

0:44Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Looking good. Hey!

0:52Welcome to the show, hey!

0:57Come on.

1:02Thank you very much. Enjoy yourself. Welcome, everybody. Welcome, welcome, welcome to The Tonight Show. This is it. You're here, you're here. This is the show. Come on. There's so much to talk about. Last night, President Trump appeared on 60 Minutes for his first interview since the midterms, and he blamed the results on bad messaging. Trump was like, some moron kept talking about butts, ballrooms, and reflecting pools. I don't know. Bad messaging, yeah. At that point, even the CBS logo at the bottom of the screen rolled its eye. Good boy. Really? And at one point during the interview, Trump was asked about the afterlife, and he had a pretty interesting response.

1:44Watch this. Do you think you're going to heaven? I hope so. I don't want to go to hell.

1:56America was like, where have we been living in the past three years.

2:05Well, guys, Trump has been talking to reporters about what went wrong with the midterms. He's got some interesting thoughts about it. Check this out. First, Trump said, My cabinet is causing me a lot of problems. Then IKEA said, Hey, that's our slogan. Next, Trump said, It costs a ton of money, but we folded and broke. Then iPhone Duo said, Hey, that's our slogan.

2:33Then Trump said, Then Ozempic said, You look great. Next, Trump said, Then Tequila said, Hey, that's our slogan.

2:58Next, Trump said it was a massive blowout that will take years to recover from. Then Congresswoman Ann Wagner said, Hey, that's my slogan.

3:09Next, Trump said it was a horrifying bloodbath. Then oral beef floss you frantically used 30 minutes before the dentist said, Hey, that's our slogan. Sure I floss every day. Next, Trump said... Then Spirit Halloween in November said, Hey, that's our slogan.

3:33Finally, Trump said... Then Eric and Don Jr. said, Hey, that's our slogan. That's my thing. Keep going.

3:46Some more political news. Trump is now claiming that he offered the press secretary job to UFC's Dana White as a joke. Trump was like, although that does sound like something I would do. Well, I just saw that the Department of Energy recently tweeted out a map of the United States that didn't include the state of Vermont. Take a look. Yeah. Part of Minnesota and Hawaii are also missing. Here to clear things up is Energy Department spokesperson Elliot Carr. Elliot? Hey. Thanks for having me, Jimmy. Thanks. Of course, let's start with Vermont, Elliot. Why did you leave it off the map on your post?

4:24Okay, I'll shoot you straight. Until this weekend, I literally didn't know Vermont was a state. What are you talking about? I thought it was just a can of cheese, like provolone or Swiss. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Swiss isn't a state, is it? Switzerland is a country. And that's different from a state. Yes. Okay, phew. Just so hard to keep track. I mean, seriously, do you know how many states there are?

4:5550. Really? Whoa! I was gonna say, like, 20. You thought there were only 20 states? I mean, how is this possible? Okay, okay. In my defense, there are some tricky ones. Did you know there's a North and a South Dakota? But they're different places. Yes, I did. Why'd they do that? Were there too many people or something? Actually, combined, the Dakota's population is less than two million. Really? Yes, and why do you keep drinking water? I'm thirsty. Okay, but did you know there's also a West Virginia and a regular Virginia? Why isn't that one called East Virginia? I don't know, man. Look, Elliot, let's get back to the map you posted.

5:41You guys also didn't include a part of Minnesota. Personally, I only like full-size sodas.

5:54You also didn't include Hawaii. I thought that was just a type of rule. It's an island in the Pacific. Oh, my God. Really? Yes, yes. Really. Okay, look, Elliot, you've got to admit it's pretty bad that an official government agency wouldn't know all the states in America. Oh, yeah, that would be bad. I'm talking about you, Elliot. You work at the Department of Energy. Really? Yes, Energy Department spokesman Elliot Carr, everyone. I don't know. Stop drinking! Oh, my God. Wow. All right. While everyone's talking about this, it just came out. Jensen Huang, the CEO of NVIDIA, had an affair with an alleged Chinese spy.

6:39Ooh. People are like, he had an affair with TikTok? Switching gears, with diesel prices at record highs, 221 trucking companies have already filed for bankruptcy this year. And now it seems like the truckers are fighting back. Take a look at this message they put out today. As truckers, we know how to weather a storm. But until this administration gets diesel prices under control, the big rig drivers of America will no longer honk their horns when you go like this. We're on honk strike. Honk strike. Honk strike. You're gonna stare right at us with hope in your eyes and do this, and we're gonna give you nothing.

7:21Honk strike. Now what are you gonna do when you're bored on a long car ride? Be the guy who yells cow when he sees a cow? Pathetic. Some of us will replace our honks with this sound. Honk strike. Honk strike. Come on. I love a good honk. Give me a honk honk. Did you guys see this? France has accused Iran of being behind cyber attacks that affected supermarket fridges and freezers. Yeah, when they heard, McDonald's was like, yeah, and Iran definitely broke our ice cream machines, too. That's right. Well, this is while they heard that two fishermen off the coast of California rescued a piano player who had fallen off a Royal Caribbean cruise ship.

8:07Ironically, the guy jumped off that boat when they also asked him to play Piano Man. There's other songs. And finally, last night was the reunion episode of Love is Blind, and it got... It got pretty heated. There was a lot of drama between Matt and Michaela. Now, if you missed it, don't worry, because here to reenact that scene with actual lines from the actual show are The Roots' own Tariq and Questlove and Pete Davidson.

8:53Thanks, Jimmy, but tonight I'll be playing the role of Mikaela, a vice president in fashion who's being questioned about my relationship with Matt. And I'll be playing Matt, a beekeeper who's being questioned about my relationship with with Mikayla. And I'll be playing Maury, a Cornhole Entertainment Company founder, who was watching Matt and Mikayla get questioned. Okay, thank you. Whenever you're ready. So, I'll just come out and say Mikayla and I did have a relationship. You know, ultimately, I did fall in love with you during that time and I'm sorry I'm the one that ended it. You know, I genuinely wish you all the happiness and success in the world, Michaela.

9:38You're a queen. You're always going to hold a special place in my heart for sure. If you ever need anything... I need nothing. I need nothing. I need nothing. Newsflash, nothing. Matt and I had a really great friendship that shouldn't have crossed friendship. I think that's definitely an exaggeration of our relationship. We'll be dated for a few weeks. Then I dropped you off at your mom's house. That's how I met your mother. But I don't think we were in love. I was in love with you. Mm-kay. I remember taking you with my family to the Harry Potter show. The Cursed Child Show, and we sat together, and ooh, your mom makes a mean chicken cutlet.

10:25This is crazy. Oh, I loved meeting your family. It was very meaningful to me. I'm sorry you don't remember it the same way. Well, I did say I love you, but I did not say I was in love with you. And if we're going to be transparent, I was on mushrooms. What the is going on? There you go. That's Actual Lives from the actual show, Actual Lives. Quest, Tariq, and Pete Davidson!

10:59Everyone, we have a great show. We're talking to Pete after the break. Sing around, everybody.

12:56No. But sometimes when she's playing, I'll play the Sopranos in the background so she gets used to Tony's voice. Yeah, it is. So, so smart. Because my sick head thinks, well, when she's older, she'll be like, oh, it'll be familiar. He's like, my... Yeah, he raised me. My voice raised me. For sure, yeah. That's very smart. You think about all those things. Yeah, as a parent. As a parent? No, you do. You start... I did the same weird stuff. I'm like, I'm going to keep doing this, yeah, and see if the baby likes that. Like, did you get your first laugh from her? Yes. Her first big laugh from me is a weird one.

13:30Do you guys know The Jinx, that documentary? Yeah. Okay. Wait, the Robert Durst? Yeah. The Robert Durst doc? The murder, yes. So me and my buddy Simon Rex watched it together. And in the second Jinx, he's in jail. And whenever you get a collect call from him, his outgoing voice is really funny. If you get a call from Robert Durst in jail, to go, you have a collect call from Bob!

13:57So, me... Dude, that is such a deep cut. Yeah, so me and Simon... That is so funny, dude. Me and Simon sent that to each other, and I did it, and I look up, and she's like, hee-hee-hee.

Please. That's the best thing ever. On top of being a comedian and an actor, you've also added a new title recently. You're a restaurateur. Yes. This is real. This is a big deal. G's cheesesteaks. Talk to me about G's cheesesteak.

14:35Well, first, I saw the little prank that happened the other day with the ketchup. Well, yeah. So, Tariq, this happened last week, and Tariq was nice enough to get me a cheesesteak. And I go, thank you so much from Bradley Cooper's place. Yeah. So I go, that's so nice. So after the show, I had a thing, an event I had to go to. I bring this box in the car. I go home. And I'm sorry, I'm on my way to this charity thing. And I got an hour to fill. So I go, I can't believe you did this. It's the greatest. I open up the box, and it's all ketchup packets. Yeah. And you had cheesesteak excitement. No, I was...

15:10As a New Yorker, we always have to go to Philly to get a real cheesesteak. Yes. So how did you get in... These guys that I went to high school with in Staten Island, after one of the games of the Knicks finals, everyone's like, hey, let's go get cheesesteaks. And they have a place directly across from the garden. And the cheesesteaks are phenomenal. And I was like, hey, can I get in on this? Wait, so you walked into the cheesecake place and you see your friends? And I was like, hey, guys. And they were like, yeah, we have a cheesesteak place. And it's called G's Cheesesteaks. G's Cheesesteaks, yeah.

15:40Like the letter G. And they're actually here with us in the audience tonight? Yes, they are. Your buddies, where? There they are, yo! Come on, bud. Yeah.

15:50Yeah. Oh, my God. To your real friend. The most... Please sit down. Welcome to Cleo. Oh, my God. Staten Island guys are the best. Staten Island all the way, man. You guys actually brought... We brought cheesesteaks for you and The Roots. I'm going to try it right now. No pressure at all. This is G's cheesesteaks. Ooh, hey, dude, legit. Are you kidding me? Look at the presentation. Ooh, ooh, yeah. Here we go.

16:28Unbelievable. Yeah! I love it! It's dope. I love it! Yeah, now we don't have to go to Philly anymore. It's a new trip. Thank you. I want to congratulate you, by the way, because also you just rapped shooting a movie called Tommy Karate. Yes. And I just wanted to personally just say, I'm proud of you, bud, because... Thank you. Not because of this photo, but you told me about Tommy Karate is a notorious mobster. Yes, he's a real guy. And did you always have to plan that you were going to play Tommy? Originally, I wanted to, and then we wrote the script, me and my pal Joey Gay and Justin Chan, who directed it, and then we were kind of shopping it around, and people liked it, but they were like, maybe you don't play Tommy Karate.

17:14Maybe you don't. And I was like, but why? Haven't you seen my whimsical comedies? You know, you're going to play the notorious mobster? Yeah, and then I was... I really wanted to get the movie made because it's my favorite story, and it shows that I read a book. And so, hell yeah, front to back, two days. Wow. Good for you, bud. Not bad. This is big. This is great. And then, weirdly, I had an unrelated meeting with Sylvester Stallone about... I was trying to... Remember Nighthawks? Yes. I was trying to revive Nighthawks, so I was talking to him. He's the greatest. He's the man. He wrote Rocky.

17:51He wrote Rocky. So we were talking about that, and unrelated, he didn't know about Tommy Karate, but he said something. He goes, you know, I think you're a pretty good actor. I think you could do it. He goes, but no one will ever write a part for you. You're gonna have to write it yourself and stick to it. And I was like, oh, okay. Rocky's telling me to write Rocky. Yeah. You have to do this. And then you did it. Tommy Karate, you just finished shooting. Congratulations. Thanks. That's awesome. Thank you, brother. You did that. Thanks, man. Stick to your guns. Thank you. Let's talk about this movie.

18:22It is super cool. It's called How to Rob a Bank. It is a great cast by the way, John C. Reilly, Zoe Kravitz, and Nicholas Hoult. When you got the script, what was your first reaction? I saw who was attached, and I'm a big David Leitch guy, so I didn't read it because it wasn't an offer. It was like, hey, you can maybe do this if it goes well. But he's a great director. He's the best. You know, Bullet Train, Fall Guy, which is my favorite movie. Although John Wick's. Deadpool 2. Deadpool 2. Hobbs and Shaw. He's the guy. So I didn't read it because I knew I'd be upset if I didn't get it. It ended up working out, and it's a great script and a great cast.

19:02It's really good. It's action. It's got humor in it. It's cool. A lot of high-speed car chases and getaway cars. and I was going to ask you, like, does that make you nervous to drive fast in a getaway car? And I actually found something on the internet. I don't know if you remember this. Your first ever appearance on television was actually in the VH1 reality show Mob Wives. Yeah. This is true. This is 100 % true. Now, how did you end up on Mob Wives? Well, so a guy that was good friends with my dad growing up, when I was about 17, I just got my license. he was trying to look out for me and gave me a job, and I was his chauffeur.

19:44And I've never really driven before, and I had to drive this, like, big sprinter, and he was, you know, trying to be a good guy. And I had to drive him to this mob wives party, and things got a little hectic. And, you know, I was in the back of the car just watching, like, a movie or whatever, and I just hear, start the car! Start the car! And I just see my boss running towards me, And I'm like, oh, I guess the party sucked. I don't know. And then, like, 30 Italians are just chasing him. And then I had to drive out of there. And it was my first job ever, my first TV appearance. How do we set up who you play and what How to Rob a Bank is about?

20:27Oh, so How to Rob a Bank is about, it's this sort of a movement of people online who are showing you how to rob a bank. and they're kind of sticking it to, you know, just the way the world is right now. Just, like, showing you how easy it is to do it. You actually are robbing banks and it's going on social media. Yeah, it's like a YouTube channel that shows you how to commit crime. Yeah. And I play this character, Vince, who is kind of like, he was in The Forces and he has, like, some lung issues from being over there. And he's kind of the, you know, the military muscle of the... Which is hilarious.

21:05But... That's you. Yeah, yeah. I beefed up a little bit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's fun. I got to, you know, work with Nick Holt and... Dren a little bit as an actor. It's well done. Legit, G's cheesesteaks is delicious, by the way. Thank you. Before you go, you're doing something very nice for the studio audience tonight. Everyone in the audience is going home with the G's cheesesteak!

21:32Look at the G's. Yeah!

21:40Pete Davidson, everybody! Hunter Robbins, it's students Friday. We'll be right back.

21:59Our next guest is an Emmy-nominated actress who you know from the White Lotus. She now stars in the series The Good Daughter, which premieres November 12th on Peacock. Please welcome Megan Fahey!

22:18Welcome back to the show. Hi, bud. Thank you for coming back. I want to get into this because I know you had a lot of experience here in New York City, because you moved here straight from your hometown, right? Yes, my very, very small Massachusetts hometown of Longmeadow. I don't know Longmeadow, but that's... Nobody does. Okay, yeah. Yeah. Wow. So it's a really small town, and you came to New York City. Big adjustment? Huge, yeah. I remember carrying around one of those fold-out subway maps, just like a scroll. Oh, no. Yeah. No, you can't open that in front of people. No, you certainly can't.

22:55No. But I did. You're like, what tourist left this here? Yeah. While I have it open, yeah. But I actually feel like it helped me learn the train system. Yeah, it's not that hard. How was your apartment? Well, which one? Yeah, exactly. I want to talk about the first one. You know, the first apartment I ever lived in completely on my own was on 102nd and Broadway. OK. And it was the first floor of the building. And I was so excited about it because it was my own place. Yes. And I was like 18. And I remember there was this girl that I knew at one point. She was like, enjoy your first level apartment.

23:30And I was like, the words are nice, but the tone is mean. Yeah. First level. And then I realized what she meant. First floor partnership. I had a lot of things that were alive scattering across my floor and coming out of my drain in my bathtub. Oh, my god. When you live on the first floor in a city like this, you know, you're more likely to get mice and water bugs. Oh, my god. I had all of that. I know they're water bugs. But man, they scare me. Oh, my gosh. Oh, yeah. You did the whole... Like a thousand legs. Yeah, I know those ones, too. When you were a kid, you did a lot of singing, right? Were you at...

24:06I did. Musical theater? Theater or just music in general? No, yeah. Pop star? Pop. Really? Pop was my... Yeah. Would you ever write your own songs? No, I exclusively sang everyone else's music. Oh, good for you. Which I think is why that career never went anywhere. Never did it off. You're only a cover-only artist. Yeah, covers only. Yeah, who did you sing? You know, all the divas. I loved Celine Dion and Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey and all that. Yes. But I was also very punk. I loved Avril Lavigne. Well, I liked to think that I was punk. Really? Yeah. No, Avril Lavigne was punk. Yeah, she was.

24:42I wasn't. No, yeah, no. But did you ever perform in front of people? Yeah, there's a huge fair in my town or near my town in my area called The Big E. Every fall this happens. and when I was a kid, I would go there with, like, a burned CD of illegal songs that I got off Napster. Oh, no. Like, karaoke versions. And I would take it, and I would sing, you know, all of my Avril Lavigne covers in the Livestock building. So it was you and... I drew a huge crowd. Yeah. You and a lot of Livestock. That's right. Me and the piggies, baby. And you did, yeah. But it worked, because just this last summer, you were on stage with Hayley Williams.

25:25Come on. What are you talking about? I really feel like I'm blushing. Come on! She's the best. Oh, my God. How did you get hooked up with that? I, the gods, I mean, really, I don't know. I got a text from my publicist. I had tickets to see her show, and I got a text a couple of hours beforehand asking. Have you been a fan for... Since I was 15 years old, I bought my first Paramore album, which was the first Paramore album, All We Know Is Falling, at the checkout counter in Hollister in the mall. Wow. Yeah. That's where people got their music. I was just a goner. Like, I've been such a huge fan of the band and such a huge fan of hers.

26:08Yeah. Yes. They're phenomenal. And so I got this text two hours before the show, and I had to take a beta blocker. I knew I had to do it, But I was so beside myself with nerves, so... You rocked it, though. Well... You did a great job, yes. I rocked out. Nah, you did great, you did great. I know you just finished filming a romantic comedy with our buddy Penn Badgley. Congratulations. You guys... It's called You Deserve Each Other. Yes. But did you ever... You met before. You acted in Gossip Girl. So I never met Penn, but yes, the first time I ever stepped foot on a TV set was Gossip Girl. It had two very small scenes not with him.

26:51I love Gossip Girl. I mean. Yeah. Dan Humphreys, everybody. XO, yeah, of course. And he walked by me. We filmed at Silver Cup Studios in Queens, and he walked by me, and he didn't see me, but I saw him. Ooh. And so it's really funny that all these years later now... You do it around time. ...we just did a movie together. Yeah, he's the best. Come back when that comes out, please. Yeah. Let's talk about The Good Daughter. This show is about a family trying to solve a local murder case. Yes. And it's you and Rose Byrne who, gosh, who doesn't love Rose Byrne? What can't she do? She is so fun. I haven't found anything yet that she can't do.

27:26No, she does everything. She does it all. Yeah, she's the greatest. And also my pal Harper Steele is also her acting debut. Her acting debut, yeah, it's a big deal. I worked with Harper on Saturday Night Live. Yeah. She used to write one of the funniest. I did give a little advice on the first day. And I have to start by just saying, I mean, Harper Steele, some of the funniest, smartest, weirdest stuff that we have. It's because she wrote it. And she's incredible. But this was her first time being on set as an actor. And so the scene was the two of us are in the car. She's driving. We pull up to a house and I get out and walk down the driveway.

28:03And she comes around the car and meets me. And I just kind of gave her a little pep talk before. You know, I'm like, hey, don't be nervous. And if you screw up a line or something, just take it again. It's whatever. She's like, come on. I'm not an idiot. I've been on set before. I'm like, totally. So we pull up, and I get out of the car, and I close the door, and I'm kind of, like, stalking down this driveway, like, all-in character and stuff, and I threw a look over my shoulder to make sure she was behind me, and I just saw her running... uh, in the wrong direction. Yeah. And I saw that she was chasing the car, which was rolling away from her...

28:43because she was so busy trying to remember to grab her bag and her thing and get out of the car that she didn't put the car in park. Great job, Harper. I can't wait to see it. We have to do it again, of course. Give her some tips. And we get, you know, we pull, she pulls the car up, we get out, we walk down the thing, I see that she's behind me, and then we're walking for five seconds, and I just hear from behind me, I forgot my bag. I can't wait to see it. Can you tell us what's going on with the good daughter and who you play? My character's name is Charlie, the younger sister of Sam, played by the lovely Rose Byrne.

29:22And it's basically a thriller mystery about two sisters who have been estranged for about 10 years and they kind of have to come back together in their hometown of rural Georgia to solve a murder. Yeah, very good. And I also want to say, you get to sing a little bit in this. We get to hear you sing Guns N' Roses. Yes. Sweet Child of Mine. That was really cool. Come on. You did a great job. Thank you. So the singing does come back. Keep it up. Megan Fahey, everybody. The Good Daughter premieres November 12th on Peacock. More Tonight Show after the break. Stick around.

I only knew yes, no, and sorry, but I don't understand.

31:16That's great. It was very useful. Yeah, it was very useful. And did you enjoy camp? Was it fun? I mean, the first time, I couldn't say that I really enjoyed it. No. Because it was difficult. Yeah, sure. I was... Homesick. I was homesick. I was like, I couldn't really express myself. Yeah. But it was an experience. and that's why I'm here now. I can talk to you. Building all these experiences, yeah. Well, I also read that you wanted to be an opera singer. That was what you thought was gonna be your, was that true or did I make that up? I mean, yes, it was true when I was very little. Yes. So, and I don't think I had enough talent, to be honest.

31:51What? So that's why I chose acting instead. Could you give us a taste, a little taste of what it would be like? Of what, my? Yeah, give us a little.

32:04Sorry.

32:09Ovi Maria.

32:14It's not as good! Yes! Yes! Finally! Thank you for doing that. So when did you decide to be an actress? After, uh... You're one of my... So as you see, I had, like, the huge talent. Uh, yes. Right? So, yeah. So then I finally decided to become an actor. You're one of my favorite actors. Everything you're in, I love you in. Really. And you're in Blockbuster ones. What's the one? Is it One Fine Day? One Fine Morning? One Fine Morning. Yeah. Oh, I loved you. You've seen it? Oh, it's phenomenal. You're great. Oh, thank you. But I love you in the James Bond movies, but you're in Dune. I mean, you're in Mission Impossible.

32:57When you do these movies with, like, Tom Cruise, Do you get nervous there, or do you go...? Yeah, I was pretty nervous, yes. But I was replaced at the last moment. So... What do you mean? No, you were the replacement? I was happy. I was happy, actually. What do you mean? I don't think there was, like, another actress who was supposed to play the role. You were the replacement, or you got replaced? No, I was the replacement. Hey, there you go. That's what I'm talking about. Come on. We all felt bad for you for a second. Now we're like, oh, cool, all right, yeah. Yeah, forget about the other actor.

33:30You were the one. Congratulations. Yeah, so I just, like, they called me and they said, are you available to shoot in 10 days? And I was like, of course, yes. And so I flew there and... This is for the Mission Impossible, for Tom's movie? For Mission Impossible, yes. So I have a scene with Tom. And I didn't read the script. I was not allowed to. Oh, it's that secret. It was like, yeah. Oh, my gosh. It was a huge thing. It's so funny. I have that when people come on the show and I'm not allowed to talk about the movie or anything. And I go, what can we... And they go, nothing. I go, all right, let's see you again.

34:06Come back when we can talk about it, yeah. So you went on to read the script. I knew I was a villain. Yes. That's all I knew. But then I was like, okay, let's go with the flow. Yes. And I just like, yeah, I did it. And how is he? He's a gentleman. Yeah, he's great. He's the best. I mean, he was great and he didn't know his lines, which was like something. He didn't know it either? Even Tom Cruise doesn't know his lines. Yeah, perfect. Someone here has to know their lines or else we're not going to make this movie. But yeah, so this is something that I did. But it was never really a dream of mine to become an actor.

34:40And yet here you are nominated for five César Awards, which is the French Academy Awards. Not too shabby. Not too shabby. That feels pretty good. Yes, but I mean... Come on. But, I mean, I was only nominated. I never had one. You were only nominated, yeah. Only nominated, but this year I will be the president, which is very strange. I never had a Cesar, but I'm the president. Oh, so let's make it happen this year. We can make it happen, come on. Let's talk about your new film, Gentle Monster. This premiered at the Cannes Film Festival to rave reviews. Congratulations. Thank you. Can we set up what this movie is and who you play?

35:21So I'm playing a woman. I will make it short, okay? So I'm playing a woman who finds out a terrible truth. Ta-ta-ta! Okay, there you go. Léa Chidoux, everybody! Gentle Monsters in select theaters now and on Netflix November 18th. We'll be right back with more Tonight Show.
