-You -- you're very close with your grandmother.
-Yes. -Obviously she was excited
to see this film. What did she think?
-Oh, she was excited.
So she went last night at like the 10:45 show.
And she was like, "Ooh, ooh, ooh, your wig. Your wig."
And I was like, "Yeah, I wear a wig in it, grandma.
You know this."
And then she was like,
she's like, "You're not really in it."
And I was like, "Ohh.
Thank you. Wow. Thanks."
[ Laughter ]
-But your grandmother -- that surprises me,
she's obviously very game. -Yes.
-You -- you're also a rapper,
and your grandmother has been in videos of yours.
-I cast her all the time. Yes.
-And is she excited when you ask?
-At first, she was like, "No, no, no."
You know, she becomes all coy. She's like, "No, I can't."
And then, all of a sudden, just like lights, camera,
she turns into Ethel Merman. She's like Bette Midler.
And just like, all of a sudden.
-What -- now what -- what video is this from?
-That is her. That's -- that's from my more recent video
"Pockiez." -Okay, " Pockiez."
So here's your grandmother.
And I'm assuming this is not how she usually looks.
-No. -There she is.
[ Laughter ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Oh, man.
Oh, my God. She's watching this tonight.
She's going to be horribly embarrassed
by what you just did.
-So wait, does she appreciate that you gave her
hundred dollar bills here to -- -She -- so I get --
the whatever. The director gave her ones.
And she's like, "You give me ones?
You give me $100."
So he had to got to Chase to take out $100s.
She refused to do it with ones.
She didn't want to appear cheap. -That's great.
Well, they say that looking cheap in a rap video
is the worse thing you can do.
-Yeah, yeah. Pretty much. She knew.
-Very rarely celebrate frugality in rap videos.
-Yes. Yes. -You had --
one of the first things we knew you from was a viral rap video
you did called "My Vag." -Oh, you said it.
-Yeah, I said it. -Oh, you can say it.
-I can say "My Vag."
-Oh. Okay.
You know those PBS people are gonna get it.
-You know what? I actually didn't think about it until
I said it and now...
[ Laughter ]
Now I guess --
-You're going to get a memo later.
-I really leaned into it.
I don't think I showed any fear or anything.
[ Laughter ]
-Very boldly stated. -Very bold.
-Yes. That was a very bold statement.
-And also weirdly -- obviously for, you know,
genetic reasons, I've never had any reason to say...
-Right. -...my vag.
-Yeah. I mean...
-And it's weird, you know, you get to a certain age,
you feel like there are things if you haven't said them yet,
you're never gonna say them.
[ Laughter ]
-It's a vag of honor.
-Yeah, it's a vag of honor. -It's a vag of honor.
[ Laughter ]
-Yes, bravo.
[ Cheers and applause ]
What did -- so when that came out,
does your grandmother see "My Vag"?
-Yes, she did. She does. She did.
-She -- she has.
-You know, and I don't want to bring in -- She loved it.
And to this day, even the video that she was in,
she's like, you got to make more songs like that, Nor.
I'm gonna honest with you. -Really?
-She's like, "Yeah, you know all your other songs,
they just haven't cut it like that one. You know?"
And I'm like, "Thanks, grandma." You know, great.
-Wow. She's seems like an interesting balance
of being incredibly supportive --
-And really mean. -But also a really,
really tough critic. -Kind of mean, yeah.
-That song did not go great
for your current employers at the time.
-It did not, no. -So what happened?
-So, you know, I was working at what I thought was, like,
the best job of my life.
I think -- I think what it came down to
was I was really bad at my job.
-Okay. -I was a publicist.
So, like, if you asked -- publicity assistant.
So if you had asked me, like, at that time what a publicist was,
I would not have been able to tell you what a publicist was.
-Gotcha. -Or what it meant.
And so, like, it was my birthday.
I shot the video on my birthday.
And we -- you know how,
like, in offices they kind of have obligatory birthday
were they orders Melissa's. -Oh. The tiny cupcakes.
-You know what I mean? The tiny cupcakes.
And over at the Melissa's,
she's like, "Oh, what you'd you do on your birthday?"
I was like, "I shot a video."
And she was like, "Oh, well, I didn't know you do music."
And I was like, "Well, it was called..."
-Yeah. -Yeah, "My Vag."
-Well you can't be the one to not say it.
-Yeah, no. I gotta say it. I'll say it.
You know what, I'll say it.
And -- and you know, fired immediately.
And then -- [ Laughter ]
But you know -- you know, like last year,
when we were filming "Ocean's 8",
I think I always felt like pretty disgraced
and I don't think I ever really felt closure from that moment.
And I filmed this scene with Rihanna on this, like,
beautiful, crisp night in Manhattan.
And I come out and I'm walking back to my trailer
and I look up and it's the building that I used to work at.
And -- it was just like -- it's weird how things
come full circle like that. -Yeah.
-I think I -- I finally got the closure I needed.
-I would say anyone -- if anyone ever got fired
from a job, the best outcome would be standing
next to Rihanna looking at your old building.
[ Laughter ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
Thanks so much for being here. -Thank you, Seth.
-Really enjoyed talking to you. Congrats on everything.
