Talk Shows

Natasha Lyonne talks about blending in with New York City crowds with Jeremy Allen White after leaving the Met Gala, standing behind Adam Driver dressed as a hot dog for SNL50: The Anniversary Special and filming Season 2 of Poker Face in upstate New York.

Natasha Lyonne joins TODAY to talk about the second season of her hit series “Poker Face” where she plays Charlie Cale, an ex-casino worker-turned-detective who happens to be a human lie detector. She opens up about working with icons like Cynthia Erivo, John Mulaney and Nick Nolte in the series, revealing she’s “always starstruck.” She also talks about her experience at the 2025 Met Gala, directing “Poker Face” episodes and more.

The star of "Poker Face" shares what's in store for season two.

Natasha Lyonne can’t share much about her upcoming role in The Fantastic Four: First Steps, but reveals that she got a text message from Robert Downey Jr. with a selfie telling her to come see his show, which made her wonder if she was finally in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, since the text came through at 4am, she thought it must have been fake.

Natasha Lyonne remembers her time with the late Paul Reubens after starring with him in Pee-wee’s Playhouse. She says everything about being a child on the show was a special and beautiful experience while chatting about what it was like being on set with Chairry. Natasha also connected with Paul in his final years over the phone and he asked her if it was safe for him to do a documentary about his life.

Natasha Lyonne and Emma Roberts fire up their grill of garments for a round of “Versace or Hibachi.” Natasha starts off by giving her shorts a “Versace” and Emma loves her floor length floral number. When Natasha gets ready to throw her sheer ensemble on the hibachi grill, Emma convinces her otherwise. Emma is also still a fan of her sparkly white cold shoulder moment while Natasha reveals her art deco getup was thrifted.

Actress, writer, director and producer Natasha Lyonne, who earned Emmy nominations for "Orange Is the New Black," "Russian Doll" and "Poker Face," has been an infectious presence on-screen for decades, playing characters who tend to be funny, perceptive, and a little weird. Lyonne talked with "Sunday Morning" contributor Kelefa Sanneh about bringing her magnetic talent to the new film "His Three Daughters," and about how her chaotic childhood may have prepared her for a life being, as Time magazine put it, "the coolest person in the room."

Natasha Lyonne discusses the success of her Peacock show Poker Face, getting profiled by an "AI bodyguard" and directing Jacqueline Novak's Get on Your Knees for Netflix.

Natasha Lyonne explains what she doesn't like about New York in the summer.

Three members of The Late Late Show team each tell a story they claim happened to them, but only one is telling the truth. Can "Poker Face" star Natasha Lyonne and creator Rian Johnson figure out if Tom was really run over by a truck while having sex?
