We all appreciate it so much. We love you.

Where are you? -Thank you. I'm doing well.

I'm staying with my family, so I'm in my room.

Is this the bedroom where it all started?

-Yeah, where I used to do all the covers and stuff.

That's a door. That's -- This is my closet.

That's where I used to do all my covers on YouTube.

-I would do it there 'cause my parents, obviously,

And they would always, like, be doing stuff.

My mom would have work to do. My dad would be, like,

watching sports and stuff, and I didn't want to, like,

bother them with my belting and, like, learning guitar.

It doesn't sound good. Like, when you're a kid

trying to learn how to sing, it doesn't sound the greatest.

It was my little hub. -I heard some rumor

that you have a ventriloquist dummy with you.

Is that the truth? -Yeah, I have him here.

-How did you end up with him, and who is he?

I was doing an interview, like -- when was it?

And I was doing an interview, and I saw him, like, sort of,

like, hanging on the door, just chilling.

And they were like, "Well, like, we tried to, like,

sell him for charity a bunch of years in a row,

and nobody wanted him. You can literally have him.

His name is Sonny." I'm like, "I'm having him."

I took him, and then I took him to the airport with me

so I had to carry him through the airport, like...

And people were, like, taking pictures with him and stuff.

Yeah, so -- I mean, you can see my lips moving.

I can't do the thing where my lips don't move.

-[ Laughing ] Wait. But that's the whole thing.

If I cover my face. -All right. Try that.

I kind of stole Ernie's voice. It's very inspired by Ernie.

-Oh, my gosh. Alessia, this is ridiculous.

I can see your lips moving the whole time.

-I will say, by the way, congrats on "The Willoughbys."

This movie on Netflix is, like, the number one movie

It's, like, the biggest thing in the world,

But the best part, I think, is how you got this movie.

-Oh, we have to talk about that. This is -- yeah.

-So this is, what, 2017 you were on our show?

It was I think only the second time I was on the show.

And we were talking about manifesting stuff,

'cause I remember I came to the "Late Night" set

when I was, like, in drama class, like, on a field trip.

And I was like, "I'm gonna be on this show one day,"

And you were like, "Oh, my God. We manifested stuff.

And I was like, "I want to be in an animated movie one day."

And we, like, held hands on the desk and wished for it.
