Jay:
Our next guest is a beautiful and talented young actress - one
of our favourites. She stars in the popular series Buffy
the Vampire Slayer which airs Tuesday nights on the WB.
She's now starring in a new movie called Cruel Intentions
- comes out this Friday. Just getting wonderful reviews
for this film. Please welcome Sarah Michelle Gellar
Jay:
Good to see you again.
Sarah:
It's nice to be here. Thank you for having me
Jay:
Now, I heard you guys had a fire on your set or something.
And I'm glad you're okay. Was anybody injured?
Sarah:
Well, thankfully we had firemen [laughter]. See, I love
firemen. We have this small fire. We were on location
and these three fire trucks came. And the third truck
comes, and it was, like, a walking calendar. It was just
beautiful firemen. So we went on. We played with
their hats, we played with the hose
Jay:
You mean, while the house burned down? [laughter]
Sarah:
What house? Oh, right, the fire, the fire. There's
really, really beautiful firemen. So Alyson, who plays
Willow, and I decided to invite them back to have lunch with
us
Jay:
Did you set out another fire or just invited them?
Sarah:
Alyson said she'd put out if they came back
Jay:
Oh, that's...that seems fair. This Presidential thing
has really affected everybody.
Sarah:
We were waiting for them to come back. And we kept starting
all these fires all day...you know, putting cats in trees, hoping
they would come back. And finally at lunch, they came
back to have lunch with us. So basically, this is a big
plea, we're going to be visiting you again. Please...
Jay:
You really have this thing for firemen. Is it the uniform?
Is that the whole thing?
Sarah:
Well, then there was a fire in the middle of lunch, like, they
had walkie talkies. And I swear to God, it was like slow-mo.
They get up...they put on their little overalls...they
ran.
Jay:
They wear little overalls? I'm curious, they don't wear
ones that fit them? They wear little, tiny...
Sarah:
No! There are some good looking firemen. It's all
I'm saying.
Jay:
Have you ever dated a guy that had, like, a real job... like
a fireman?
Sarah:
I usually date guys that don't have jobs.
Jay:
What I mean...would you go out with a fireman?
Sarah:
Sure
Jay:
Is it the uniform? Would you want him to wear the hat
all...
Sarah:
Uniform...it's the hat and the pants
Jay:
Like if you were at home and you're relaxing, would you want
him to have the pants and the hat on? [laughter]
Sarah:
Pretty much. I think the illusion would be ruined without
the hat
Jay:
Oh, I see. So if you were like, getting intimate, you
still have kept...
Sarah:
The hat. Okay
Jay:
Whatever works, sure, sure. Now, you have, like, sparkle
things
Sarah:
I'm sparkly. I want to be a rock star.
Jay:
Turn so people can see. Now, see, I have no idea.
Are those thumbtacked into your head? How do those stay
in? [laughter]
Sarah:
Yeah, we had a little hammer...
Jay:
I don't even understand how those would stay in
Sarah:
They're a little velcro. You just velcro them in
Jay:
Oh, is that what...
Sarah:
Do you want to put one on? We can put one in...
Jay:
Sure [applause] Put it on my eyebrow. Will it hurt
my eyebrow?
Sarah:
No, we just go like that
Jay:
Ow!
Sarah:
You look good. It's not a fireman [some cheers].
Jay:
I guess so
Sarah:
I like it. You look very rock star
Jay:
You like it? Does this work for me? Yes, I'm no
fireman
Sarah:
It's the same colour as your eyes
Jay:
Yeah. Oh, your movie is getting a wonderful notice
Sarah:
Yes, very excited...Cruel Intentions. It comes
out on Friday [cheers and applause]
Jay:
Does everybody from the show come see your movie?
Sarah:
Well, see, this is the deal. See, I told everyone at work,
if they don't come back with a ticket stub by Monday, they can't
come back to work. They have to go see the movie this
weekend. I was, you know, I helped by pasting up where
it was playing all over - like if it was in their area.
And they said the only way they would come see - they would
come if I mentioned all their names tonight. So, I brought
a handy crew list, so we could just flash all of their names.
Now, you guys all have to go see the movie
Jay:
That's all the people that work on Buffy?
Sarah:
I know, it's a lot of people
Jay:
Wow
Sarah:
Okay, you all have to go now
Jay:
Okay
Sarah:
Thank you
Jay:
You know, I heard that...now again, this is one of these things
you just sort of hear around the lot
Sarah:
Uh-oh
Jay:
But hearing you talk about these firemen, I'm starting to believe
it me. Did you, like, pants a guy? You know what
I'm talking about? Is this a rumour?
Sarah:
No, it's true. Nicholas Brendon, who plays Xander, was
acting up a little one day. So we decided to play a little
prank on him, Alyson and myself. We decided to pants him
on film for the gag reel at the end of the year. Only
Alyson got a little overzealous and took his pants and his boxers
down in front of about 60 extras on the set one day. We
were doing dodge ball, and there was just Nick standing there
screaming, "No, it's really cold." [laughter]
He was going to be so mad at me tomorrow. But, we were
just getting annoyed with him, because it's his favourite talk
show stretch. Every time he goes on a talk show, he would
tell this story, which now I just told. So we decided
to give him a new gag. So we dumped him with water the
other day - doused him with water
Jay:
Right, okay
Sarah:
But he thinks that since there was no nudity it wasn't that
good a story, and he refused to tell it
Jay:
So he goes around...see, that's a great thing about being a
woman. A woman can do that. If a guy does that,
"hey, hey, hey," you're in the back of the truck in
two minutes [laughter]
Sarah:
I don't think he's going to mess with us
Jay:
No, no. Now, your new film is getting some controversy
because you have...you kiss a girl? Right? It seems
to be the new thing. Guys are like obsolete now
Sarah:
Some people think girl/girl is a turn on
Jay:
No, no... [cheers]
Sarah:
That's why
Jay:
I'm not arguing against it. It just seems...
Sarah:
Do you enjoy it?
Jay:
Kissing girls? Yeah
Sarah:
No, I mean, if two girls kiss in front of you, do you enjoy
that?
Jay:
It's all right. Actually, it's not big...I'd rather be
kissing the girl myself. But I'm going, "hey, hey."
It's like watching somebody eat a pizza. "Hey!"
[laughter] You know what I'm saying. No, I mean,
it's like, "hey"
Sarah:
I understand.
Jay:
But I know a lot of guys really go nuts for that. It's
not really my thing
Sarah:
It wasn't my thing either
Jay:
I mean, is that hard to do the first time when you have a scene
like that in a film?
Sarah:
It wouldn't have been so bad if it wasn't for the fact that
we had to shoot it in Central Park on probably one of the nicest
days in New York City in seven years. And we had quite
an audience. So there was, aside from all moviegoers,
there was this huge audience of people watching my first female
kiss
Jay:
Okay, now, we have a clip. This isn't the kissing scene
Sarah:
No
Jay:
Now tell people..this is a film you play...you play like an
awful person in this movie
Sarah:
Misunderstood
Jay:
Misunderstood, okay
Sarah:
Ryan Phillippe and I are brother and sister... step brother
and step sister. And we made this bet that he can devirginize
Annette, Reese Witherspoon's character. And he's just
sort of blown his chance and...
Jay:
I like "devirginize". That's an interesting
word
Sarah:
It's polite.
Jay:
Let's take a scene. Let's take a look here - Cruel
Intentions.
Cruel
Intentions clip:
Sebastian:
She was lying on the bed. I was...I just didn't feel right
about it
Kathryn:
You're telling me you had the chance, and you didn't.
God, are you a chump. Oh, if you're heading towards her
room, you won't find her
Sebastian:
Where is she?
Kathryn:
You don't know. She left thirty minutes ago
Sebastian:
Where did she go?
Kathryn:
She apologised to your aunt and told her she was going to stay
with some friends. You blew it, Sebastian. That
girl came to her senses and she'll never go near you again
[cheers
and applause]
Jay:
Ooh, what a little weasel
Sarah:
Bad girl
Jay:
This brings up something interesting. A while ago, we
were talking to people in the audience doing this "ask
Jay anything" bit. And there was a guy who said he
was in this movie, the guy said he was an actor
Sarah:
Yes, he did
Jay:
His name was...
Sarah:
Sean Thomas
Jay:
Sean Thomas. Okay. In fact, we have a clip.
Now, you tell me this is the guy. I think hje's just saying
this to impress this girl. Show this clip
Sarah:
It's called Cruel Intentions.
Jay:
Cruel Intentions. Now, do you have a big part.
Are you like...
Sarah:
It's a good part
Jay:
Good part? Yeah, is it a sexy part?
Sarah:
A little bit
Jay:
Going to be big? Maybe you'll be sitting on the chair
next time you're here?
Sarah:
You never know
Jay:
All right, go ahead, what's your question?
Sarah:
Well, Jay, you're always saying to your prop guy, Joey [imitates
Jay] "Joey, hand me something, will ya hand me something.
Will ya." But you never use... [laughter and
applause]
Jay:
You know, Sean...you know. Sean, I just realised, you
will never be sitting in that chair [applause] Now you.
Sarah:
I have a favour to ask of you. See, I felt badly for him,
and I brought him here tonight
Jay:
Oh here?
Sarah:
Yeah. So I thought maybe, if it would be okay with you,
we would bring him out. So he could sit here?
Jay:
I don't know. He did that rather cruel impression of me.
Should we bring him out? What do you think? [cheers and
applause] All right, bring him out. Where is he?
Sean? [applause] What's going on?
Sarah:
How you doing?
Jay:
Have a seat. Here you go
Sarah:
Now he can sit in the chair
Jay:
Okay. You have eight seconds in the seat. Have a
seat. Sit in the chair [laughter and applause] All
right
Sarah:
That's cool, yeah
Jay:
All right
Sarah:
You can get up now
Jay:
Sean, thank you very much. Have a seat buddy
Sarah:
All right
Jay:
See that happens, people in the audience get to the chair.
Be right back with D.L. Hughley, right after this. Thank
you, Sarah Michelle Gellar [cheers and applause] BACK
TO THE TOP
