00:00 (gunshot)
00:00 Woo!
00:01 I'm not gonna sleep for like, many days after this.
00:06 Hi, I'm Jenny Slate,
00:09 and I'm about to play Pop Quiz with Marie Claire.
00:13 (gunshot)
00:16 (screams)
00:17 A word that makes me cringe.
00:19 Pustule?
00:24 Pustule!
00:25 A word that makes me cringe is pustule, or pus.
00:30 (screams)
00:31 Oh, okay.
00:33 Just hold still.
00:35 (screams)
00:37 Oh my God, am I that gentle?
00:39 (gunshot)
00:40 Lordy!
00:40 Gosh, this is just, I mean people, this is hard.
00:43 The last book I read was Matrix by Lauren Groff.
00:50 It was very good, I really recommend it.
00:53 All right, you're next.
00:58 Oh, good.
00:59 Just.
01:02 (gunshot)
01:03 Oh!
01:04 (laughs)
01:06 Favorite dance move is, it's always the twist.
01:11 You know, it is.
01:12 It just has been for my whole life,
01:15 and that's because, you know, I'm basically a boomer.
01:20 Boop.
01:24 Boy, this really gets the blood pumping.
01:26 (gunshot)
01:27 Oh!
01:28 What can I not miss on TV?
01:34 You know, for me right now, it's Succession.
01:39 But don't they all have enough money?
01:41 That's the one thing about that show I don't get,
01:43 is don't they have enough?
01:44 Like, wouldn't you just cash out and just go on vacation?
01:47 Like, why do you want that job in that skyscraper?
01:50 It's so boring.
01:51 And they all are stressed.
01:55 For me, I don't know, but still, can't miss.
01:58 (gunshot)
01:59 Oh!
02:00 I'm not gonna sleep for like, many days after this.
02:04 How did you make your first dollar?
02:09 I think helping my dad with some gardening.
02:14 And there's actually a picture of me holding the dollar.
02:18 (gunshot)
02:25 Chocolate or cheese?
02:27 Oh, it really depends on the day.
02:29 But for most days, it's cheese, believe it or not.
02:33 I don't have much of a sweet tooth.
02:35 I'm more of a pizza and beer tooth, I like to say.
02:39 (gunshot)
02:40 Oh!
02:41 What should every woman try at least once in her life?
02:45 Masturbating.
02:46 Try it.
02:50 Just try it, just try it, just try it.
02:53 Yeah, I mean, that and, I don't know.
02:56 Coffee's great.
02:57 It's not really a gender thing, though.
03:00 (gunshot)
03:01 - Yes.
03:02 - I might as well be skydiving.
03:05 This is how much this really, really
03:07 just sort of shocks me to my core.
03:10 What is something people would be surprised
03:12 to know about you?
03:13 I really don't like game nights.
03:16 (gunshots)
03:18 At all.
03:19 And I think, like, why can't we just hang out?
03:24 I don't get that.
03:25 You know, it seems like I'd like a game night,
03:26 but I don't, I don't.
03:28 In fact, I'm kind of persnickety about it.
03:33 I think it's annoying.
03:34 (laughs)
03:35 This last silver balloon is the bonus question.
03:39 Okay, here we go.
03:41 (gunshot)
03:44 Oh, it had confetti.
03:46 Little shimmers.
03:48 What does your creative process look like?
03:51 It depends on what I am creating,
03:54 but if I'm writing, it means I have to wake up
03:57 really early in the morning and not look at my phone
03:59 and not be distracted.
04:01 If I'm, like, making dinner, it means that at 3 p.m.
04:06 I just start, like, reading as many recipes as possible
04:09 and then getting really, really excited
04:10 and then drinking three glasses of wine
04:12 and then making something much easier
04:14 than what I selected.
04:16 Well, now that I am about to have an actual heart attack,
04:19 that was Pop Quiz with Marie Claire,
04:22 and thank you for watching.
04:23 (upbeat music)
