MY FIRST GUEST TONIGHT IS AN ACTOR AND WRITER YOU KNOW FROM

"SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE," "WONDER WOMAN 1984," AND "BRIDESMAIDS."

PLEASE WELCOME TO "A LATE SHOW," KRISTEN WIIG!

HEY, KRISTEN.

>> HI, HI!

>> Stephen: HEY, GOOD TO SEE YOU.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE.

>> I'M SO-- I'M VERY EXCITED TO BE HERE, VERY EXCITED.

>> Stephen: I'M EXCITED BECAUSE I'VE BEEN A FAN OF YOURS

FOR A LONG TIME BUT WE HAVEN'T MET-- I DON'T THINK WE MET

CASUALLY AT ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE YOU CASUALLY RUN INTO

PEOPLE WHO DO THE SAME JOB.

IT'S LOVELY TO HAVE YOU HERE.

YOU'RE LOOKING VERY CHIC AND FLORAL.

>> THANKS.

I THOUGHT I WOULD TRY AND WEAR SOMETHING HAPPY.

>> Stephen: IT IS GOOD.

WE NEED IT NOW MORE THAN EVER, MORE THAN EVER.

THAT'S WHY I HAVE BROWN WALLPAPER.

THAT'S MY WAY TO TRY TO RAISE AMERICA'S SPIRITS.

YOU ARE PARTICULARLY-- I'M PARTICULARLY IMPRESSED BY YOU

BEING SO PUT TOGETHER BECAUSE YOU ARE THE MOTHER OF TWO SMALL

CHILDREN.

>> YES.

>> Stephen: OF THE BABIES.

LIKE LESS THAN A YEAR OLD, LIKE BABY-BABIES.

>> BABY-BABY-BABIES.

YES, THEY'RE TINY LITTLE, LOUD BABY S.

>> Stephen: ARE WE CRUISING AT THIS POINT?

>> WE'RE CRUISING, CRAWLING.

THEY'RE VERY CLOSE TO-- TO STARTING TO REALLY WALK AROUND.

>> Stephen: THEY CAN FIGHT BACK.

THEY CAN FIGHT BACK.

>> YEAH, THEY CAN FIGHT BACK.

>> Stephen: VERY SOON.

AND THERE ARE TWO OF THEM.

AND THERE ARE TWO OF THEM.

>> YES.

>> Stephen: AND THEY'LL TEAM UP.

>> AND THEIR TWINS SO THEY'LL GANG UP.

>> Stephen: THEY HAVE THE LANGUAGE.

YOU'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND A THING THEY SAY.

WHAT'S IT LIKE TO BE A YOUNG PARENT WITH TWO KIDS DURING

COVID.

"A," YOU WANT TO SHOW THEM TO PEOPLE AND YOU CAN'T REALLY DO

THAT TOO MUCH.

>> YEAH.

>> Stephen: BUT, "B," YOU'RE TRAPPED INSIDE.

>> WE'RE TRAPPED.

WE'RE TRAPPED.

AND, I MEAN-- WELL, WE TAKE THEM OUTSIDE.

WE DON'T JUST LEAVE THEM-- WE GO FOR WALKS.

BUT THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT.

AND THEY-- YEAH, THEY'RE LIKE QUARANTINE BABIES.

THEY DON'T-- THEY DON'T SEE PEOPLE.

AND WHEN THEY DO SEE PEOPLE, THEY'RE JUST LIKE...

LIKE SOMEONE RODE A BIKE BY US, AND THEY WERE JUST LIKE-- THEIR

BRAINS EXPLODED.

THEY'RE LIKE, "THERE ARE MORE OF OF US!

."

>> Stephen: WE THOUGHT YOU WERE THE ONLY BIG ONES.

>> YEAH.

>> Stephen: YOU'VE GOT A-- THE NEW MOVIE "BARB AND STAR GO TO

VISTA DEL MAR."

I-- I-- THE PEOPLE I TRUST MOST IN THE WORLD EYE HAVEN'T HAD A

CHANCE TO SEE IT YET MYSELF, JUST CARDS ON THE TABLE, BUT

PEOPLE-- >> I APPRECIATE IT.

>> Stephen: THE PEOPLE I TRUST MOST IN THE WORLD THINK THIS IS

ONE OF THE FUNNIEST THINGS EVER MADE.

THE JOKE-PER-MINUTE RATIO AND QUALITY JOKES AND SURREAL AND

STRANGE AND FUNNY AT THE SAME TIME.

PERFECT FOR COVID.

YOU WROTE WITH THIS YOUR COWRITER, M MUMOLO.

HOW DID THIS IDEA COME TO YOU?

>> WE STARTED DOING THESE CHARACTERS SPECIFICALLY WHEN WE

WERE WRITING "BRIDESMAIDS."

IT WAS KIND OF, LIKE, MAYA'S CHARACTER IS MOM, AND WE WROTE

ALL THESE SCENES WITH HER MOM TALKING TO HER FRIENDS ABOUT,

YOU KNOW, GOING TO COSCO AND YOU CAN BUY CLOTHES THERE.

AND THESE REALLY LONG SCENES.

AND WE WOULD TURN THEM IN, AND THEY WOULD BE LIKE, "GUYS, THIS

HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PLOT OF THE MOVIE."

BUT WE JUST FELL IN LOVE WITH THESE LADIES AND WE KIND OF JOBD

AROUND LIKE, "MAYBE ONE DAY WE'LL WRITE SOMETHING."

AND THEN WE KIND OF THOUGHT ABOUT THE TITLE FIRST, WHICH

PROBABLY ISN'T THE WAY YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO DO IT.

BUT.

>> Stephen: SURE.

ASK YOU'RE STAR.

>> I'M STAR AND SHE'S BARB.

>> Stephen: AND ANNIE IS BARB.

STAR IS SHORT FOR, OF COURSE, STARBRA.

>> Stephen: AND BARB IS?

>> JUST BARB.

>> Stephen: JUST BARB.

NOT SHORT FOR ANYTHING.

HOW DID YOU-- YOU'VE GOT A GREAT MIDWESTERN ACCENT IN THIS.

HOW DID YOU-- WHERE DID YOU GET IT?

DO YOU HAVE ANY MIDWESTERN CRED?

>> NO, I DON'T.

ACTUALLY-- WELL, I'M FROM-- I MOVED TO ROCHESTER, NEW YORK,

WHEN I WAS IN, LIKE, EIGHTH GRADE.

AND THERE ARE PARTS OF ROCHESTER THAT HAVE THAT SORT OF, LIKE,

THAT "A."

LIKE CAHR.

JUST LIKE DOING THOSE CHARACTERS, I DON'T KNOW, THIS

SORT OF MIDWESTERN ACCENTS, YOU KNOW,.

>> Stephen: DO YOU HAVE A MIDWESTERN HOOK.

DO YOU HAVE A THING YOU HAVE TO SAY TO GET YOU INTO IT?

>> JUST BARB.

UNFORTUNATELY, HERS IS STAR, SO WE JUST START TALKING LIKE THAT.

I DON'T KNOW.

>> Stephen: SO WHAT HAPPENS?

WHAT'S IT ABOUT?

>> WELL, IT'S ABOUT THESE TWO MIDDLE-AGED WOMEN WHO ARE FROM

THIS VERY SMALL TOWN, SOFT ROCK, NEBRASKA.

AND THEY ARE... THINGS HAPPEN IN THEIR LIFE WHERE THEY'RE SORT

OF, LIKE, FORCED TO QUESTION WHAT THEY'RE DOING, AND THEY

DECIDE TO GO ON THE FIRST VACATION THAT THEY'VE EVER HAD.

AND THEY GO TO THIS PLACE CALLED VISTA DEL MAR IN FLORIDA.

AND THEY GET KIND OF INVOLVED IN THIS VILLAIN'S PLOT TO KILL

EVERYONE IN THE TOWN ( LAUGHS )

IT'S HILARIOUS!

>> Stephen: AND JAIME DORNAN, O.

>> YES.

>> Stephen: IS YOUR COSTAR IN THIS.

>> JAIME DORNAN, WE'RE SO EXCITED FOR PEOPLE TO SEE HIM IN

THIS MOVIE BECAUSE HE IS EYE MEAN, WE ASKED HIM TO DO A LOT

OF REALLY CRAZY THINGS.

AND HE'S SO FUNNY.

HE SINGS IN THE MOVIE.

HE'S... HE'S JUST, LIKE, WAS A DREAM TO WORK WITH.

HE WAS AMAZING.

>> Stephen: WE HAVE A CLIP HERE.

CAN YOU TELL US WHAT'S GOING ON BETWEEN YOU AND JAIME DORNAN?

>> OH, I THINK THIS IS WHERE I'M LEAVING HIS HOTEL ROOM.

I THINK.

IS THIS THE CLIP YOU HAVE?

>> Stephen: I THINK IT IS.

WHY WERE YOU LEAVING HIS HOTEL ROOM, STAR?

>> I THINK I'M LEAVING HIS HOTEL ROOM AND I THINK HE'S GOING TO

ASK ME SOMETHING ROMANTIC.

>> Stephen: OKAY, JIM.

>> LOOK, STAR, I...

I REALLY LIKE YOU.

>> YES, I WILL!

>> WHAT?

>> HM?

OH, OH, NOTHING, NEVER MIND.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE-- IT'S NOT.

IT'S OKAY.

NEVER MIND.

-- MY HEAD IS JUST A LITTLE...

( PHONE RINGING ) >> THAT'S MY CELL PHONE.

>> OH.

>> IT'S WORK.

I SHOULD PROBABLY TAKE THIS.

>> OKAY.

>> Stephen: PLEASE TELL ME THAT RELATIONSHIP PAYS OFF.

>> I'M NOT GIVING ANY SPOILERS.

>> Stephen: OKAY, I'M JUST TRYING-- I'M JUST TRYING TO PUT

ASSES IN THE SEAT.

THAT'S ALL-- >> THERE ARE SOME HOT, STEAMY --

>> Stephen: "50 SHADES" KIND OF ACTION GOING ON?

>> YEAH.

>> Stephen: OKAY, GOOD, GOOD.

IT'S ABOUT A VACATION GONE WRONG, AND HAVE YOU HAD BAD

VACATION EXPERIENCES?

HAVE YOU EVER HAD ANYTHING GO SIDEWAYS OW?

>> SIDEWAYS, YES.

MY BOYFRIEND AT THE TIME, AVI, WE WENT TO CHILI.

HE HAS A LOT OF FAMILY, SO WE WENT TO SANTIAGO.

WE TRAVELED AROUND.

IT WAS, LIKE, ONE OF THE BEST TRIPS OF MY LIFE.

AND WE WERE HIKING WITH A GUIDE, AND HE HAD ACTUALLY BEEN WITH US

ALL WEEK, AND IT WAS OUR LAST DAY.

AND I ACTUALLY THOUGHT-- SPEAKING OF THAT CLIP-- I

ACTUALLY THOUGHT THAT HE WAS GOING TO PROPOSE TO ME BECAUSE

THE GUIDE WAS ALWAYS WITH US.

AND HE WAS JUST LIKE, "YOU KNOW WHAT, WHY DON'T YOU GUY GOES ON

THIS HIKE, JUST THE TWO OF YOU, AND I'LL MEET YOU ON THE OTHER

SIDE.

IT'S LIKE 40 MINUTES.

I'LL GIVE YOU MY WALKIE.

IT WILL BE FINE."

I WAS LIKE OKAY, THAT'S WEIRD, HE'S NOT COMING WITH US.

FULLY THINKING I'M GETTING PROPOSED TO.

SO WE'RE WALKING AND IT IS THE MOST, LIKE, BEAUTIFUL-- LIKE

WILD HORSES COMING UP TO US.

>> Stephen: WHERE IS THIS AGAIN?

>> LI HIKE A HUGE NATIONAL FORES >> Stephen: IN PATAGONIA.

>> YES.

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACE.

WE'RE WALKING DOWN THIS PATH AND I'M LIKE, YOU KNOW...

AND I SEE THIS, LIKE, HEAD POP OUT OF THE GRASS, LIKE THIS KIND

OF HEAD.

AND I'M, LIKE, OH, IT'S A LARGE PUMA, LIKE A VERY LARGE PUMA.

>> Stephen: LIKE A MOUNTAIN LION?

>> YES.

LIKE, 360, THERE'S NO ONE, WE COULD SCREAM-- WHICH I DID-- AND

NO ONE WOULD HEAR US.

AND WE WERE TOLD IF YOU SEE A PUMA-- YOU PROBABLY WON'T.

PEOPLE COME THERE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD TO PUMA WATCH AND A

LOT OF THEM GO HOME, THEY DON'T SEE ONE.

IF YOU HEAR ONE-- OR IF YOU SEE ONE, CLAP YOUR HANDS, MAKE A LOT

OF NOISE, DON'T RUN, DON'T TURN AROUND, WHATEVER.

SO THIS PUMA IS WALKING TOWARDS US, LIKE, JUST WALKING TOWARDS

US.

AND WE'RE BACKING UP AND WE'RE CLAPPING AND SCREAMING.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT-- I WAS LIKE, "GET OUT OF HERE!

LEAVE US ALONE!" I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WAS SAYING.

AND THIS IS IT.

I THOUGHT IT WAS LIKE MY LIFE-- I IMAGINED THE WHOLE THING GOING

DOWN.

>> Stephen: RIGHT.

>> AND OVER THE HILL, WE SEE THESE PEOPLE COMING OVER, AND

I'M LIKE, "HELP!

HELP!

PUMA!" SCREAMING AND THEY'RE RUNNING

TOWARDS US AND THEY HAVE CAMERAS.

THEY WERE, LIKE, PUMA WATCHING.

THEY WERE TRYING TO SEE PUMAS ON THIS TRIP.

AND THEY COME DOWN AND THEY'RE LIKE, "SHUT UP!

YOU'RE GOING TO SCARE THE PUMA" AND THE PUMA GETS, LIKE, MAYBE

EIGHT FEET AWAY AND IS JUST LIKE... AND JUST TURNS AND GOES

THE OTHER DIRECTION.

WE ARE-- I'M CRYING, MY BOYFRIEND IS, LIKE, SHAKING, AND

THESE PEOPLE ARE JUST RUNNING AFTER IT TAKING PICTURES.

AND BASICALLY PUMAS DON'T ATTACK PEOPLE THERE, BUT WE DIDN'T--

YOU WOULDN'T KNOW THAT.

PFS, LIKE, A SIX-FOOT, FIVE-FOOT PUMA.

>> Stephen: ANY SIZE IS PRETTY BIG.

>> ANY SIZE IT BIG, AND NO ONE WAS THERE.

AND, I MEAN, NEEDLESS TO SAY, HE DIDN'T PROPOSE TO ME.

>> Stephen: WHAT?

DID YOU-- >> NO, IT DIDN'T FOLLOW THAT.

>> Stephen: BECAUSE THE PUMA DIDN'T SHOW UP?

WAS IT IN THE CARDS AND THE PUMA RUINED IT?

>> NO, THERE WERE A COUPLE OF TIMES ON THE TRIP I THOUGHT,

"OH, THIS IS HAPPENING," AND IT DIDN'T HAPPEN.

>> Stephen: I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT, EARLIER YOU SAID, "MY

FORMER-- MY BOYFRIEND AT THE TIME," YOU SAID.

>> OH, NO, NO, I MEANT BECAUSE HE'S NOW MY HUSBAND.

WE DID GET MARRIED.

>> Stephen: I DIDN'T KNOW.

I JUST WANTED TO CLEAR UP EVERYTHING.

>> OH, NO, NO, NO.

IT WASN'T A DIFFERENT PERSON.

>> Stephen: OKAY, GOOD, ALL RIGHT.
