You know our first guest from "Parks and Recreation."
Next month she's returning as the host
of the Independent Spirit Awards.
Please welcome Aubrey Plaza.
[MUSIC - DUA LIPA, "NEW RULES"]
Aubrey, I'm so glad you're enjoying-- we built--
her name is plaza.
And as a joke, we built a plaza for her.
And you seem to be using it.
That's where I live, Ellen.
Right.
No.
I've seen you there before.
What were you doing there?
Yeah.
No.
Well, I was finishing my bottle boat.
Boat bottle.
A boat bottle.
--project.
Uh-huh.
And I was almost done.
But it's fine.
If you want to talk right now, that's fine.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
It's a fine time to talk.
Had I known that you were in the middle of the boat bottle--
that seems hard to do.
So you build the boat inside of a bottle.
Yes.
I stick the tiny things in there.
And I make it look real life sized.
[LAUGHTER]
For entertainment for myself.
Wow.
I have dreams.
And I make them come true.
Wow.
It's good to see you again.
Last time you were here, we scared you, it appeared.
Did we scare you?
Yeah.
You did.
And that was not cool.
Yeah.
But you really did actually.
It's here.
No.
And you had the thing in your mouth and everything.
No.
Why must I relive this moment?
Yes.
People said that meme to me all the time
to remind me of how humiliated I was.
Were you?
On your show.
Yes.
No.
You weren't humiliated.
No.
I wasn't.
I actually don't mind being humiliated, public humiliation.
I feel like, at least if I can humiliate myself,
then I sacrifice myself for the viewers.
I don't know.
For the good of mankind?
For the good of mankind.
I see.
I can take a hit for the--
Really?
There's nothing that humiliates you?
No.
I mean-- yeah.
No.
I'm humiliated every second.
But I'm saying that I like it.
Oh.
It makes me feel alive.
I don't know what I'm saying.
I actually don't know.
I say things and then I--
We interrupted the boat bottle experience.
Let's go back there.
Yeah.
I can imagine.
I want to hear about this story.
I was told today in a meeting that you're friends
with the Jonas Brothers.
All three?
Well, I mean, I don't know if they
would consider me a friend.
Oh.
But I consider them my friends now.
Well, tell me the story and I'll let you know.
OK.
Well, I met them.
And it was one of the craziest nights of my life.
My sister Renee is a huge, huge, huge Jonas Brothers fan.
10 years ago I took her to a concert.
And I got her into one of those meet and greet things
where we got to meet them.
And she got a picture.
And then cut to 10 years later or whatever,
my sister called me in the middle of the night and said,
oh, my God.
Joe Jonas tagged you on his Instagram story.
You have to capitalize on this.
Like you need to follow him back.
And you need to get in there with him.
And I didn't follow him on Instagram.
And I'm not really like Instagram whatever, crazy.
And I was like, all right, fine.
I'll follow him.
I don't think he cares about me.
But whatever.
And then she wanted to go to Vegas to go to their concert.
How old is she?
She's 23.
OK.
[LAUGHING]
So?
I'm just curious.
We all have interests.
And so she called me and was like,
my dream is to go to their concert in Vegas
for my birthday.
And I was like, done.
I'm going to creepily DM Joe now that we're Facebook buddies,
or Myspace, or whatever.
[LAUGHTER]
You know.
What the kids do.
And so I DMed him.
And I was like, I know you don't know me,
but I want to take my sister to your concert for her birthday.
Would you like let us in?
Or I don't know how this works.
And then he [BLEEP].
Oh, sorry.
We're good.
This isn't airing right now.
So it's fine.
Right?
No.
There's no film in any of these cameras.
[LAUGHTER]
It's a word.
Yeah.
So I'm sorry.
OK.
I'm going to go back.
So then he responded to me right away.
Right.
And very sweetly responded to me, and said,
absolutely, I got you, girl.
I got you in.
And I was like, OK.
But I wanted to be cool.
So I didn't go, well, what time do
I have to be there, and give me the message, the info
or whatever.
So I was like--
Well, he wouldn't have heard that voice.
It's just a text.
[LAUGHTER]
That's just asking for info.
But go ahead.
No.
I know how the internet works.
But so then I was just trying to play it cool.
So I was like, all right.
Cool.
Well, see you in Vegas, friend.
And so then we go to Vegas.
And my sister and I didn't even have tickets.
I was just hoping that it would work out.
I know.
And so then we show up to the concert.
And I did decide to wear a witch's cloak, because--
wait for it-- because I felt, well, my sister
was very nervous to meet Joe.
And I was like, if I act weird or deranged--
oh, there it is.
Yep.
That's me and my sister.
I was like, if I act weird or something,
then she'll seem normal compared to me.
And maybe that would give her a boost.
Good thinking.
Yeah.
And you would think that wearing a cloak
would garner a lot of attention.
But actually what I found out is when someone's
doing something weird like that, people just
generally ignore you.
They're afraid.
I don't know what I'm talking about now.
But the point is, I wore a cloak.
I went to the Jonas Brothers concert.
They were awesome.
They got us right backstage.
And we became part of their entourage.
There's me.
[LAUGHTER]
That's you behind Joe?
That's me behind Joe and David Copperfield.
OK.
That really happened.
Yeah.
So David Copperfield--
I don't know why.
But David Copperfield and I were part of the Jonas Brothers'
entourage for hours.
All night long we rolled around in Vegas in an SUV Caravan.
I have never seen anything like it.
Wow.
And since then have you spoken to him?
Nope.
[LAUGHTER]
OK.
No, I have not.
No.
But I did tell Joe, Nick, and Kevin--
I was like, I think having someone in a cloak
is a cool thing for an entourage.
And you guys should consider doing that whenever
you're on tour now, just following them around.
Cause I followed them into all the clubs.
Right.
We went clubbing, in da club.
Mhm.
Wow.
It's a great story.
[LAUGHTER]
Sorry.
No.
It's a good story.
We're going to take a break.
OK?
I understand.
Swap me out.
I get it.
No.
We're going to come back.
Swap me out.
You'll still be here.
I'll go on the boat bottle thing.
No.
You're going to be here.
More with Aubrey after this.
Hi, I'm Andy.
Ellen asked me to remind you to subscribe to her channel
so you can see more awesome videos,
like videos of me getting scared or saying embarrassing things,
like ball peen hammer, and also some videos of Ellen
and other celebrities, if you're into that sort of thing.
[SCREAMS]
[BLEEP]
God!
