Paula Pell

Cause she's a big fan of murder.

She wrote, but Paula Pell, she's actually a really funny

actress.

She's too fat, too old.

But, like, gently.

Okay, so this is from our episode with the wonderful Paula Pell, who is so funny and who I worked with on Dying for Sex, and she was also a writer for SNL.

She's a director.

She's hilarious.

And by the way, a bunch of women who have been doing that sort of art form forever.

Paula Pell.

What's up?

Come on.

It was okay.

It was Keke Palmer and Paula Pell.

That was funny enough.

The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins.

I have a lot to say about this correlation between bodies, but-

Paula Pell was just on Good Hang with Amy Poehler-

Mm-hmm

... and Amy was complimenting Paula on her beautiful hair, and was like, "You and Tina Fey have some of the most, like, renowned beautiful hair in our friend group." And Paula said very explicitly that, like, "Because I was fat, I worked really hard on my hair, because if you have beautiful hair and you cherish your hair, it, uh, uh, like allows you to deflect people's-

Like, the people when I started my character and got some speed, the experienced folks that I got to work with every night was like fucking college.

And just those instances, I got to go from Judd and Amy and everybody they brought in to Paula Pell, Amy Poehler, and Tina Fey, and everyb- everybody they brought in.

And then, like, Will Ferrell and his whole crew with Mark Wahlberg.

It, it, it was just a storm of very funny, very successful comedians.

I've...

Ah, Tina Fey put me in one of her series in an action role fighting Paula Pell, if you know Paula Pell.

So it was like me fighting a 60-year-old lady is just a comedic thing that Tina Fey thought would be great.

That w- I was seen by 87North, who does Bullet Train, The Fall Guy, Nobody.

They wrote this film and Amy directed it and it stars this who's who of comedians.

Amy Poehler, Rachel Dratch, Anna Gasteyer, Maya Rudolph, Paula Pell, Emily Spivey, Tina Fey.

They all star in this thing.

It's just a nice little, Rachel Dratch plays a character.

Um, but before we get into it, we always, uh, talk to somebody who knows our guest, who loves our guest, wants to speak well behind their back and ask them a question.

And we have a friend of the pod, uh, writer, actress, queen Paula Pell, who is Zooming in, who loves Keke and wants to tell us all about it, and I'm hoping right now is, is um, is Zooming in from her, you know, her new OnlyFans account.

One can only hope.

So Paula, are you there? [laughs] Paula? Paula, can you hear me, darling?

[laughs]

... weak.

Um, Paula Pell is here.

Paula, it's so good to see you.
