-Thank you for being here.
Thank you for spending
so much time with me.
-It's been so much fun.
-I got to say --
the Musical Genre Challenge.
Thank you for doing that.
-Thank you for -- Yeah.
-Before we get into
the interview,
I just want to say quickly --
I know you do
other musicians, obviously,
but you do an impression
that I don't know
if you've done on TV before,
but you were doing it for me.
Jennifer Coolidge.
-Oh.
-Man: Yeah!
-One guy was like, "I want it!"
-All right. Calm down.
Yeah, but --
-Thank you.
-How did you figure out
that you could do her?
I know now and then you have
these random impressions.
-Yeah, well, I mean,
"Best in Show"
is one of my favorite movies,
and "Legally Blonde" --
I mean, you know.
-Can you give us a little taste?
-Sure. Um...
[ As Paulette ] God. You look
like the Fourth of July!
[ Laughter ]
♪♪♪♪
[ Normal voice ] I didn't even
get to the punch line.
-I know you didn't even
get to the punch line,
but just do it anyways.
[ As Paulette ]
I'm taking the dog, dumb-ass.
-[ Laughs ] That's it!
That's what I'm talking about.
That's the type of stuff
you deal with
when you hang out with
Ariana Grande for two days.
Thank you again.
-Thank you.
-It was so fun to see
the fans and everybody.
You know how many people
love you?
They just love you.
That's got to feel good.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Let's talk about the new single,
"No Tears Left to Cry."
This is the number-one debut
in 90 countries.
-Really?
-It's the biggest -- Yeah.
[ Cheers and applause ]
That's the biggest --
It's got to be exciting
to do stuff like that.
-Yeah, very.
-And, then, the video
just exploded on YouTube.
I think it's done 80 million
views in only a week and a half.
-Has it already? That's awesome.
-In a week.
That was out last week.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-That's awesome.
-Explain the video.
Who's the director of the video?
-Dave Meyers. He's amazing.
I love him.
He's so fantastic.
-It's very -- It's awesome.
It's almost -- It's like
you're kind of falling on down,
but then you're
walking back up walls.
It's very, like,
M.C. Escher or --
-Yeah, that's what I said.
I was like,
"You know, I love stairs."
And then he did that.
-That's all you need.
He took it and ran.
"I love stairs."
-And then he was like,
"Okay, that."
-Yeah. It's fantastic.
-Thank you.
-And the part where
you take off the faces.
-Yeah.
-You take off your face.
-Very deep. Yes.
-Yeah, it's very deep, yeah.
-You know, taking off one
chapter and putting on another.
-I know, yeah.
-Yeah.
-What did you have to do for
that to make those masks real?
-Yeah, I had to do a face mold,
which I'm sure you've done.
-Yeah.
-Prosthetics.
It's so scary, no?
Isn't it so intense?
-I mean, it was interesting.
I forget.
I haven't done it in so long.
But you just put, like --
-It's the green stuff.
The slime first.
-Oh, it is scary.
-And then -- Yeah, yeah, yeah!
-Oh, no, I remember this.
-And then they wrap it up,
and they bandage you,
and you sit there for like
30 minutes, 40 minutes.
And you can't see.
-It's not 40 minutes.
-No, it is!
-It's like five minutes.
-It really is.
No, it's not five.
-Oh, no.
Something went wrong.
Then you shouldn't --
I would be scared.
I would be scared.
-I promise it's not five.
-Wait. I remember.
They put the green stuff,
and there's, like,
plaster or something, yeah?
-And it's really dark.
All of your senses
are completely cut off.
And it's really intense.
I thought I was gonna be fine.
I was like, "Cool. I'm so
excited for my face mold."
Two minutes in,
I was like, "Okay..."
-[Muffled]
"Get me out of here!
Somebody! It's been 40 minutes!
Somebody please
take this off of me!"
-It was intense, but it was
worth it. It was cool.
-[ Normal voice ]
It turned out fantastic.
-And I never have to
do it again, so...
-Yeah, exactly, yeah.
You nailed it.
-In case we should need a mold
of my face, we have one.
-The performance tonight
is one of the best
we've ever had on
"The Tonight Show."
So thank you for
just bringing all that.
I mean, that was --
Wait till you see it.
It's really spectacular.
But everyone's been working hard
doing all that stuff.
But nobody does that.
So I love that you always
bring it every time
you come on to perform.
-Oh, thank you.
[ Cheers and applause ]
