Awkwafina talks about a weird chocolate moment she had while staying at a hotel in London, working with Sandra Oh and Will Ferrell in her film Quiz Lady and her grandmother’s criticism of her projects.
Late Night with Seth Meyers.
Watch Late Night with Seth Meyers Weeknights 12:35ET/11:35c on NBC.
Awwww she seemed really nervous but Seth did a great job making her feel comfortable and taking the pressure off her.
ReplyPeople keep giving Awkwafina flack for her alleged blaccent and cultural appropriation. I’m a black man and I don’t have a problem with her at all; why are critics always harder on women than men anyway?
ReplyI really like her
Replyi like her
ReplyThey need to make Awkwafina the new Daily Show host.
ReplyShe seems to be a really nice person. I dont like her in all the movies she is in, but she seems be an amazing person to have around.
ReplyIs she wearing a blouse or a kite?
ReplyLove this woman so much! And the chocolate wrapper placement story is adorable.😄 Kind people are magic! 💖Will be signing up for Hulu again just so I can watch her and Sandra Oh in Quiz Lady!
ReplyShe was so star struck by Wally that she couldn’t help but be nervous through the interview.
ReplyAsian Miley Cyrus.
ReplyWow, a couple moments into this and I realized: I couldn’t give a crap about this chick. Who picked the movie clip? I almost fell asleep between the time the clip started and ended…. That was her superpower Genesis story? Ugh snooze away.
Replyi am currently absolutely excited as f to see corrections and seth deal with the press your luck algo reality. bing.it.on
ReplyQuiz Lady was a great movie. Awkwafina also starred in that Nicholas Cage movie “Renfield” that came out this year, and that was fantastic too. If you liked “Kickass” you’ll probably enjoy “Renfield”
ReplyShe’s named after bottled water???
ReplyIt’s funny she asked was there an algorithm to “press your luck” because technically there was. Some guy figured out there was a pattern to the game and memorized it and won a ton of money and the people who ran the show caught on😬
ReplyGenuinely do not find her entertaining at all. Saw her in Shang Chi and Renfield and she was super annoying in both. I don’t know if it was bad writing or performance, but she was unbearable
ReplyCan’t believe they would talk about “Press your Luck” without talking about the little cartoons that would steal the contestant’s money, that was the best part.
ReplyRegarding press your luck, “Michael Larson. A self-described unemployed ice cream truck driver from Lebanon, Ohio, he applied to be on the show that year. By recording episodes at home on a videocassette recorder and playing them back frame-by-frame, Larson discovered that the presumed random patterns of the game board were not actually random and he was able to memorize the sequences.”
ReplyQuiz Lady is so great. I identified way too hard with her character… she’s awesome
ReplyOn this week’s Corrections, would you please let us know the correct name for the dog who played Linguine? Thank you!
