00:00 Three, two, one, and go.
00:02 Oh no, ooh, you survived, honey.
00:05 Come back here.
00:06 (door slams)
00:07 Yes.
00:08 Hi everyone, I'm Jonathan Daness,
00:10 and I'm playing Pop Quiz with Marie Claire.
00:12 Ooh, what is the best gift you've received?
00:20 Oh my God.
00:21 The best gift I've ever received was from my mom
00:24 and my great grandma.
00:25 My great grandma, she would doodle,
00:27 and she made this one really cool doodle
00:29 and gave it to my mom.
00:30 The doodle was like of a lady.
00:32 And so I always loved it
00:33 and always thought it was really cute.
00:34 My mom was like, "I'm never giving it to you,
00:36 "it's my favorite thing."
00:37 'Cause my mom had taped her head on
00:38 'cause her head was falling off.
00:39 And then for my birthday last year,
00:41 my mom gave it to me.
00:42 Next question.
00:43 Oh my gosh, that's so pretty over there, look.
00:46 Last text I sent to my husband,
00:49 probably about our dog or one of our cats,
00:54 which is one of seven possibility
00:56 'cause we have two dogs and five cats.
00:59 Cute, liked it.
01:00 Oh, I was just minding my own business this one day
01:02 and then, ah!
01:03 Word your friends would use to describe you.
01:06 So I would hope that the official answer
01:09 would be hilarious,
01:11 but I bet the actual answer would be nightmare or gorgeous.
01:16 Three, two, one, and go.
01:19 Oh no, ooh, you survived, honey.
01:21 Come back here.
01:22 (blows raspberry)
01:23 Have you ever had a more dramatic balloon pop
01:25 for Marie Claire?
01:26 Favorite couch snack, wow.
01:29 I feel like the snacks at my house
01:30 are about to have a fight.
01:32 I love mini powdered donuts.
01:37 I love mini powdered donuts.
01:42 You know, it's like Michelle Obama says,
01:45 "When they go low, we go high."
01:48 Last song you got stuck in your head.
01:49 Okay, this is a great question
01:50 because it literally just happened this morning.
01:52 It was, ♪ Turn it up, turn it up, turn it upside down ♪
01:55 ♪ Down, down, down, down, down, down ♪
01:56 ♪ Hear percussion, na, na, na, na, na ♪
01:59 It was that.
02:00 - What song is that?
02:01 - Well, obviously it was Gloria Estefan,
02:05 Turn the Beat Around.
02:06 ♪ To hear percussion ♪
02:09 It was just like that.
02:10 I'm going this way.
02:12 I'm going, no, I'm not.
02:13 (blows raspberry)
02:16 You never know which way I'm gonna go, honey.
02:19 Word that makes you cringe.
02:21 Actually, bangs.
02:24 Bangs instead of fringe.
02:26 Bangs.
02:29 Yeah.
02:30 Call it fringe, it's much chicer.
02:32 Fringe is Emily in Paris,
02:35 and bangs is like supermarket sweep.
02:38 But I guess it's supermarket sweep
02:39 in the sense like the old version,
02:42 where there's like a lot of like,
02:43 you know, puffy '80s bangs.
02:48 Was that fun?
02:49 (blows raspberry)
02:50 Ah, wow.
02:52 I feel drunk with power when I do this.
02:54 Last book you read.
02:56 Not to be dumb, but it was my own,
02:59 because I just recorded my audio book,
03:01 which is called Love That Story,
03:02 and it's coming out in April,
03:04 and I'm really excited about it.
03:05 And, wha!
03:07 Are you gonna be okay?
03:08 Is your nervous system gonna be okay from all these pops?
03:11 How did I make my first dollar?
03:14 My auntie was a lawyer,
03:16 and she, and in the early days of the internet,
03:18 she was looking for cases to brief
03:21 for her law class that she was teaching.
03:23 So I would like use the internet
03:26 to like find different cases out of Illinois
03:28 to like write for her law class.
03:29 And then I called myself a paralegal,
03:31 but really I was 11.
03:32 And that was the first dollar I made.
03:34 Ah!
03:35 (crashing)
03:37 I did it.
03:38 Chocolate or cheese?
03:39 Both.
03:40 I'm, here's the thing.
03:41 As a non-binary person,
03:42 I find this question offensive, okay?
03:44 I'm gonna eat both.
03:45 Ah!
03:47 Mm, wow.
03:48 Worked up a sweat on that one.
03:50 (crashing)
03:51 That almost even scared me, it was so good.
03:53 What should every woman try at least once in her life?
03:56 Not listening to someone's advice.
04:01 I say go for it.
04:02 Live your life.
04:03 Live your truth.
04:04 Ah!
04:05 (crashing)
04:06 This has been so much fun.
04:07 Can I just say that?
04:08 Oh my God, guess what question this is.
04:10 Name a movie that makes you cry.
04:13 Forrest Gump.
04:14 What doesn't make me cry about Forrest Gump?
04:16 (crashing)
04:18 Mm.
04:19 Oh, what can you not miss on TV/streamer?
04:22 Getting Curious with Jonathan Van Ness.
04:24 I'll tell you that much.
04:25 Watch it, and I think if you do watch it,
04:27 you won't even regret it.
04:27 You're gonna have so much fun.
04:28 Ah!
04:29 I hope that was as good for you as it was for me.
04:31 That was so much fun Marie Claire.
04:32 I love Cling Pop Quiz.
04:34 I also love it when you guys like get Netflix
04:37 and then watch the shows that I do on there.
04:39 So, ah, wow, Marie Claire.
