-Our next guest is a very talented actress
you know from such shows as "Broad City" and "Barry."
She stars as Janet in "The Good Place,"
which airs Thursday nights here on NBC.
Let's take a look.
-We can't put the humans back in their own bodies,
so I've done the next best -- but not that great -- thing.
-A high-neck sleeveless?
I suppose this outfit will do. -Are you sure?
I mean, wearing a floral print to an infinite void
at this time of the nothing?
-So where are we, exactly?
We're not on Earth, right?
-That's correct, Chidi-Janet. You're not.
Your real bodies dematerialized when you entered my void,
and your essences reconstituted themselves in this form.
-Cool, cool. And when you say void --
-Oh, I mean a sub-dimension outside of space and time
at the nexus of consciousness and matter,
tethered to my essence.
Does that help? -It does not help.
-Please welcome back to the show
our friend D'Arcy Carden, everyone!
[ Cheers and applause ]

-Hi! -Welcome back, D'Arcy!
-I like being here. -Good.
I like having you here.
Did you -- I want to ask,
did you like being at the Golden Globes?
-I did. -Good. Was it a fun night?
-It was super-fun. It was my first Globe...
-Okay. -...s.
-Right, it was only a -- a singular.
Not even a plural yet.
-Yeah, it was super-fun and very surreal.
And, you know, it's like all these celebrities,
and you're just -- I just kind of wanted
to be invisible and look at everybody.
There was a moment where I was on the red carpet,
and Carol Burnett was right behind me.
-Uh-huh. -And I, like, couldn't breathe.
And she was wait -- It was me, Lucy Liu, Carol Burnett.
I'm name-dropping. I don't know these people.
-Yeah. [ Laughter ]
-And Carol was, like, waiting behind us.
I shouldn't call her Carol. Ms. Burnett.
-Yeah. [ Laughter ]
-And Lucy Liu and I were just like,
"Ms. Burnett, right this way, right this way.
Please, please, don't wait."
And then, Lucy Liu and I had, like, a cool moment.
-Oh, right. -We are together on this.
[ Laughter ]
-"That she should go ahead of us."
-Yeah, yeah. -I know it's been a busy year.
Did you at least get to slow down and relax
on the holidays at all?
-Yeah, I did. I had a great holiday.
The problem with, like, a busy year is -- okay.
I have a great husband. You know him.
-Yes, he's a wonderful guy. -Not just hot. Also nice.
-Yeah, really -- [ Laughter ]
But I do want to stress for the audience -- hot, too.
-He's so hot. [ Laughter ]
He's so hot.
But we hadn't talked about Christmas presents at all.
And it was one of those years where I was like,
"Okay, we're too busy, we're not even gonna deal with it.
We're just -- We're just gonna -- whatever.
Whatever comes up, we'll just --
we'll just give each other something small."
And on Christmas, I opened -- [ Giggles ]
I opened a -- a diamond ring.
-Uh-huh. -This nice little --
-Beautiful, yeah. -You don't have to --
But it's a diamond ring. -Yeah.
And I had gotten him a $50 gift card to a comic-book store.
-Wow. [ Laughter ]
Wow. Even --
A gift so bad you can't wrap it.
-No, no, no. [ Laughter ]
It was a paper envelope. It was so lame.
-For those -- And everyone should,
but those who don't watch the show, from that clip,
there was an episode where you played all your castmates.
-Right. -You basically played
four other co-stars on the show
and took on their mannerisms and their voices.
How -- I mean, did you have to --
Did you know enough in advance to prepare for it?
-I did know in adva-- I knew a couple months in advance.
But the thing is, like, I've known them for years now.
And you could probably -- I mean, if you were asked to,
like, do an impression of -- I don't know.
Who's your friend? Fred Armisen?
-Yeah, I could do a Fred, yeah. -Yeah, you could do a Fred.
You did John Mulaney the other night.
-Yes. -Like, you just kind of have --
I watch the show. -Thank you.
-Yeah. [ Laughter ]
You just kind of, like, have it. But, but --
So I had two months to sort of, like, peep on my friends.
-Yeah. -[ Laughs ]
And just kind of, like, creepily watch them.
And I honestly -- it might have been easier
if I didn't know I had to do it, if Mike Schur, the creator,
had just told me, like, the week before,
"By the way, you just have to, like,
do an impression of all these people."
'Cause I truly lost my mind in those months leading up to it.
-Yeah. And you would listen to an audiotape of them all?
-Yes, yes. When we did the table read,
instead of me reading all their parts,
everybody read what would have been their own parts.
And I voice-recorded it, and then that was what
I listened to for weeks. That's it.
No music, no, like, conversation with friends.
I would just listen to it over and over.
I'd listen to it in my car.
There was one day right before we started filming
where I was listening to it, blasting it in my car,
driving down Sunset -- L.A. ref.
-Yeah. [ Laughter ]
It's, uh -- a boulevard. -Boulevard.
[ Laughter ] Look it up.
And all of a sudden, I see one of my castmates,
William Jackson Harper, who plays Chidi.
And he's walking down the street,
and I'm hearing his voice,
and I, like, think I'm losing it.
So I pull over, and I rolled my window down,
and his voice is just, like, bellowing in my car.
[ Laughter ]
And he was -- he went -- "Oh, no!"
[ Laughter ]
He's like, "You're going crazy!" [ Laughter ]
-It's like someone who's very bad at kidnapping,
who likes to hear the voice of their victim
and then pulls up beside them and is like, "Want to join you?"
-Yes, totally. He was like, "Goodbye," yeah.
-Also, an incredibly busy year
in that final season of "Broad City."
-Yes! Can you believe it?
-That's amazing. What a great run for that show.
[ Cheers and applause ]
And I'm so excited, because, for my money,
it was just one of the best first years of a show
I'd almost every seen -- "Barry," with Bill Hader.
You had year two of that. Yeah, there he goes.
There's Bill right there. -Little Billy.
-Before he was a hit man. [ Applause ]
So, are we gonna enjoy both of those?
-Yeah, you are. You are really -- yeah.
Last season of "Broad City," so good.
They just, like, poured everything into it.
It's so funny and great,
and it premieres, I think, next week.
-That's really great. -That's a fact I should know.
-Yeah. -I want to say it's the 23rd.
Check it out on Google. -Google it.
-Yeah. And then, yeah, "Barry" we just wrapped.
It was so fun. I get to, like,
spend time with Bill and Henry Winkler
and all the actors. It's just a --
It's a goddamn dream come true. Sorry about that.
-Well, you're very lucky.
You are making a lot of dream-come-true shows right now.
And you deserve it all,
and thanks so much for being here.
It's great to see you, D'Arcy! -Thank you!
