MILA, I'M SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU.

SO HOW ARE YOU?

HOW ARE YOU DOING?

>> I'M GOOD.

I MEAN I THINK ALL THINGS CONSIDERED, I'M VERY FORTUNATE,

VERY LUCKY.

BUT I'M, YOU KNOW, I'M READY FOR THIS THING TO ALL BE OVER.

>> James: I KNOW, AREN'T WE JUST.

ALTHOUGH YOU DID GIVE US SOME JOY THIS PAST WEEKEND.

WE ALL LOVED YOUR SUPER BOWL COMMERCIAL.

YOU AND ASHTON AND THE LEGENDARY SHAGGY.

NOW HOW DOES THIS COME ABOUT?

HOW DO YOU GET INVOLVED IN THIS?

HOW DOES THIS COME TO YOU?

AND WAS SHAGGY THE SORT OF THING THAT SEALS THE DEAL.

>> YEAH, I'M NOT GOING TO LIE, I WAS LIKE OH, SHAGGY, HUH.

FIRST OF ALL WHEN WE MET HIM I WAS LIKE WHAT DO I CALL YOU.

AND HE WAS LIKE SHAGGY.

LIKE I WAS THE CRAZY PERSON TO NOT ASSUME, I WAS LIKE OH, YEAH,

OKAY.

AND SO LIKE 17, 16 YEAR OLD KEPT GIGGLING EVERY TIME I WAS LIKE

EXCUSE ME SHAGGY.

I COULDN'T STOP MYSELF.

BUT IT WAS WONDERFUL.

WE HAD THE BEST TIME.

WE LAUGHED ALL DAY LONG, EVERY DAY.

IT WAS LIKE A REALLY BEAUTIFUL ESCAPE FROM REALITY, IT WAS

LOVELY.

>> James: IT WAS SO GREAT, IT REALLY WAS.

BE YOU AND ASHTON HAVE DONE SOMETHING QUITE IMPRESSIVE,

PARTICULARLY THIS YEAR OF ALL YEARS.

YOU DECIDED TO DO A DRY JANUARY.

NOW MY BIGGEST QUESTION IS WHY, WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT THIS YEAR?

AND HOW WAS IT, HOW DID IT GO?

DID YOU GET THROUGH JANUARY WITHOUT A DRINK?

>> IT WAS A BAD IDEA, JAMES.

IT WAS, NOT MY FINEST MOMENT OF IDEAS THIS YEAR.

BUT I PROBABLY HAD WORSE.

BY DECEMBER 4 2-7B, OR INSURRECTION DAY, I TURNED IT MY

HUSBAND, I WAS LIKE WHY DID WE DO THIS?

WHAT IN US SAID OH, NOW IS A GOOD TIME.

SO FEBRUARY 1ST COULD NOT HAVE COME FAST ENOUGH.

SO YEAH, I WOULD SAY I WAS SUCCESSFUL.

BUT I WAS VERY UPSET.

>> James: NOW YOU HAVE BEEN WORKING SINCE YOU WERE VERY

YOUNG.

DID YOU EVER, DID YOU HAVE ANY OTHER JOBS BEFORE YOU STARTED

ACTING?

>> WELL, WHAT, WHAT JUSTIFIES A JOB, JAMES.

LIKE DOES THAT MEAN DID I GET PAID FOR OTHER THINGS?

OR DID I JUST DO OTHER THINGS ILLEGALLY.

>> James: EITHER OF THOSE, WHICH ONE.

>> I NEVER GOT PAID FOR DOING ANYTHING.

BUT MY GIRLFRIEND USED TO RUN A STORE CALLED NATURAL WONDER AT

THE BEVERLY CENTER AND SOMETIME THERE WERE SHORT STAFFED AND SHE

WOULD BE JUST COME AND HELP ME OUT AND BE OUTSIDE AND BE LUKE

HOW CAN WE HELP YOU.

BUT I WAS ALREADY ON '70S SHOW AT THE TIME.

I THINK THIS IS A BAD IDEA BUT OKAY.

AND SO I WOULD DO IT AND PEOPLE WERE LIKE, HUH.

I HAD THAT JOB, AND THEN I HAD AN ILLEGAL BUSINESS ON eBAY

WHERE A FRIEND AND I WOULD-- THIS IS SO-- WE WOULD

PRINT OUT PHOTOS AND IRON THEM ON TO T-SHIRTS AND SELL THEM FOR

LIKE 12 BUCKS.

SO WE DID THAT.

>> James: I THINK THERE IS A CHANCE I BOUGHT SOME OF THOSE

T-SHIRTS.

MY WHOLE WARDROBE WAS FULL OF LIKE NSYNC T-SHIRTS THAT WERE

CLEARLY ILLEGALLY MADE.

>> THAT WAS US.

WE WOULD GO TO DOWNTOWN L.A., BUY A WHOLE BUNCH OF T-SHIRTS

AND THEN JUST LIKE DE KAL THEM UP.

IT WAS WONDERFUL.

AND THEN ALSO ILLEGALLY WORKED AT RITE-AID.

>> James: HOW DO YOU ILLEGALLY WORK AT RITE-AID.

>> I DIDN'T GET PAID SO I WOULD LIKE TO THINK IT WAS ILLEGAL.

MY MOM WAS THE MANAGER OF RITE-AID, LIKE OF A RITE-AID IN

L.A AND I WAS ON '70S SHOW AT THE

TIME BUT I WAS UNDER AGE SO I DIDN'T DRIVE.

SO MY MOM ON HER LUNCH BREAK WOULD PICK ME UP FROM WORK AND

TAKE ME BACK TO HER WORK AND I WOULD HAVE TO SIT THERE UNTIL 10

P.M. UNTIL SHE CLOSED THE STORE.

AND SO SHE WAS LIKE WELL, GET BEHIND THE PHOTO COUNTER.

AND I WAS LIKE, AND SO I WOULD HAVE TO, WITHOUT.

I WOULD BE LIKE HI, HOW CAN I HELP YOU, OR HELP OUT AT THE ICE

CREAM COUNTER, FOR TWO YEARS.

>> James: WOW.

>> NEVER GOT PAID.

>> James: NEVER GOT PAID.

THAT IS ABSOLUTELY SCANDALOUS.

I KNOW, I REMIND MY MOM OF THIS EVERY DAY.

THEY SHE THINKS ITS SO FUNNY, REMEMBER WHEN I USED TO MAKE YOU

WORK.

YES, MOM.

>> James: NOW WE HAVE TO CONGRATULATE YOU ON YOUR BRIL

YNT NEW SHOW BREAKING NEWS IN YUBA COUNTY, FOR ANYONE THAT

DOESN'T KNOW TELL WHAT IT IS ABOUT AN WHO YOU PLAY.

>> SO BREAKING NEWS, IT IS SO HARD TO EXPLAIN BUT IN THE QUICK

OF IT IS IT IS ABOUT TO WHAT EXTENT WOULD YOU GO TO THE SAME

15 MINUTES OF FAME, HOW MUCH PEOPLE DESIRE THAT FAME AND

ACKNOWLEDGMENT.

ALLISON JANNEY PLAYS A DOWN ON HER LUCK WOMAN, WHO IS SORT OF

INVISIBLE, HER HUSBAND IGNORES HER, SOMETHING HAPPENED IN HER

LIFE WHERE SHE IS ALL OF A SUDDEN GETTING ATTENTION.

AND THE WHOLE FILM IS ABOUT TO WHAT LENGTH WOULD YOU GO TO

SUSTAIN THAT, I PLAY HER.

>> IT IS THE MOST AMAZING CAST, YOU ALL I ON JANNEY, AWKWAFINA,

WANDA SYKES, ELLEN BARKIN, JULIETTE LEWIS, WHO OUT OF THAT

LIST, THAT IS AN INCREDIBLE CAST.

WHO WERE YOU MOST EXCITE TO WORK WITH.

>> FUNNY ENOUGH, KATE WHO I HAD KNOWN SINCE I WAS 20, DO YOU

WANT TO DO THIS MOVIE WITH US, AND I OFFERED ME A DIFFERENT

PART.

LISTEN HERE IS THE THING I HAVE BEEN SLIGHTLY OBSESSED WITH

ALISON SINCE-- SO MUCH SO THAT I STALKED HER AT A RESTAURANT NOT

THAT LONG AGO, SHE DOESN'T REMEMBER IT, I DO.

>> James: YOU WERE WORKING THERE FOR FREE, JUST COVERING.

IT WASN'T THAT FUNNY, CAN COME AND WORK HERE FOR FREE.

YOU CAN-- YOU'VE JUST LAUGHED MORE AT THAT THAN SUSAN HAS

LAUGHED IN 876 SHOWS.

>> I THOUGHT THAT WAS REALLY QUICK, JAMES, THAT WAS A REALLY

QUICK.

>> James: YES, IT WAS, THANK YOU.

YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, MILA, THANK YOU.

SORRY, CARRY ON.

>> I AM PROUD OF YOU.

SO I HAVE ASKED IF WE COULD REWRITE THE SISTER PART TO MAKE

SENSE FOR ME TO BE ALLISON'S SISTER SO I CAN HAVE ALL MY

SCENES BE WITH ALLISON, WHICH IS SO SELFISH BUT I WAS LIKE I

REALLY WANT TO WORK WITH ALLISON.

>> James: I GET IT, YOU ABSOLUTELY LOVE HER.

AND YOU TWO LOOK LIKE ARE YOU HAVING AN ABSOLUTE BLAST WHEN

YOU ARE MAKING THIS FILM.
