00:00I'm not gonna sleep for like many days after this.
00:08Hi I'm Jenny Slate and I'm about to play pop quiz with Marie Claire.
00:16A word that makes me cringe, um, uh, pustule, pustule, a word that makes me cringe is pustule
00:28or puss.
00:29Ah!
00:30Oh, okay.
00:31Just hold still.
00:32Ah!
00:33Oh my god, am I that gentle?
00:34Ah!
00:35Lordy!
00:36Gosh, this is just, I mean people, this is hard.
00:45The last book I read was Matrix by Lauren Groff.
00:50It was very good, I really recommend it.
00:55Alright, you're next.
00:57Ah!
00:58Good.
00:59Just.
01:00Ah!
01:01Favorite dance move is, it's always the twist.
01:11You know, it is, it just has been for my whole life and, um, that's, that's because, you
01:19know, I'm basically a boomer.
01:23Boop.
01:24Boy, this really gets the blood pumping.
01:26Woo!
01:27What can I not miss on TV?
01:34Um, you know, for me right now it's Succession.
01:38But don't they all have enough money?
01:40That's the one thing about that show I don't get, is don't they have enough?
01:44Like, wouldn't you just cash out and just go on vacation?
01:47Like, why do you want that job in that skyscraper?
01:50It's so boring.
01:51They're all, they all, like, are stressed.
01:53I don't, I, for me, I, I don't know.
01:56But still, can't miss.
01:58Woo!
01:59I'm not gonna sleep for, like, many days after this.
02:06How did you make your first dollar?
02:09Um, I think helping my dad with some gardening.
02:14And there's actually a picture of me holding the dollar.
02:19Woo.
02:25Chocolate or cheese?
02:27Oh, it really depends on the day.
02:29But for most days it's cheese, believe it or not.
02:33I don't have much of a sweet tooth.
02:35I'm more of a pizza and beer tooth, I like to say.
02:41What should every woman try at least once in her life?
02:45Masturbating.
02:48Try it.
02:49Just try it, just try it, just try it.
02:51Um, yeah.
02:53I mean, that and, I don't know.
02:55Coffee's great.
02:57It's not really a gender thing, though.
03:03I might as well be skydiving.
03:04This is how much this, like, really, really just sort of shocks me to my core.
03:09What is something people would be surprised to know about you?
03:13I really don't like game nights.
03:16At all.
03:18And I think, like, why can't we just hang out?
03:22I don't get that.
03:24You know, it seems like I'd like a game night, but I don't.
03:26I don't.
03:28In fact, I'm kind of, like, persnickety about it.
03:32I think it's annoying.
03:34This last silver balloon is the bonus question.
03:38Okay, here we go.
03:40Okay, here we go.
03:44Oh, it had confetti.
03:46Little shimmers.
03:48What does your creative process look like?
03:51It depends on what I am creating.
03:54But if I'm writing, it means I have to wake up really early in the morning
03:58and not look at my phone and not be distracted.
04:01If I'm, like, making dinner, it means that at 3 p.m.
04:06I just start, like, reading as many recipes as possible
04:09and, like, getting really, really excited
04:11and then drinking three glasses of wine
04:13and then making something much easier than what I selected.
04:16Well, now that I am about to have an actual heart attack,
04:19that was Pop Quiz with Marie Claire,
04:22and thank you for watching.
