Watch What Happens Live

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.

Natasha Lyonne says her first celebrity crush was Al Pacino and describes being a child actor in New York when she couldn’t cry on cue. Plus, Alison Brie talks about her cringey audition for Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson when she sang Heartbreaker by Pat Benatar and says her first concert was an Alanis Morissette show.

Natasha Lyonne reveals that she got beat out for the roles of Six on Blossom, Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Curly Sue. She also says one career moment she would most want to relive was walking onto the Russian Doll set and feeling like that was exactly where she was supposed to be despite the stress of writing, directing and starring.
