Episode Overview

In this lively and heartfelt episode, brothers Seth and Josh Meyers welcome actress Leslie Bibb to share hilarious and poignant memories from her childhood, family dynamics growing up with three older sisters, and unforgettable adventures on family trips. Despite thinking she had few stories to tell, Bibb uncovers a treasure trove of anecdotes—ranging from sneaking out in Key Largo to orchestrating a cathartic cross-country road trip with her mother.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

Sibling Dynamics and Growing Up

[26:04] Leslie Bibb describes life as the youngest of four daughters, her father's early passing, and craving attention from her older sisters.

• Sibling Pranks: Her sisters once hogtied her and threw her in a shower as a game, and she would often sit in closets just to listen to their conversations.
  • “They did hogtie me and throw me into a shower in my mother's room… They were like, 'You wanna play a game?' And I was like, 'O.' And so they tied me up and threw me…” – Leslie Bibb [26:22]

[29:04]

• Bibb tells of her childhood desperation to be included, running errands for her sisters “just to be counted.”
  • “I would do anything if you would count to see how fast I could do it... You never were counting? Kim's like, no, we never counted.” – Leslie Bibb [30:21]

Childhood Mischief & Classic Family Sneaking

[41:00] Bibb’s infamous Key Largo story unfolds:

• As a tween, orchestrates a “sneak out” with cousins from a rental in Key Largo, involving golf carts, dramatic crawling, and a supposed mastery of deception.
• But their parents were onto them the whole time; her Aunt Shelby's sister ruined her mother's ruse by repeatedly yelling, “The party's over!”
  • “We snuck back in and I was like, I am so fucking clever... My mom and this woman…came in pulling the same heist because they knew we were gone the whole time... Aunt Shelby's sister was so pissed, she just ruined my mom's plan. And she started screaming, ‘The party’s over. The party is over.’” – Leslie Bibb [41:20]

[42:36] Seth reflects on his own sneaking out as a teen—rationalizing, getting caught by his dad, and noting how parents usually know more than we think.

Life on the Move: Orchestrating Family Trips

[35:21]

• Bibb reveals that after her father’s death, large family trips with all five members were rare, but she has fond recollections of small “country” vacations to places like Virginia Beach—sometimes making up memories from family photographs.

[52:15]

• Bibb arranges a meaningful cross-country road trip with her mother, aiming for three classic American sites: Graceland, the Grand Canyon, and Las Vegas.
  • Her mother resists (“I don't want to see where Elvis lives… I don’t want to see a big hole…”), but ends up moved to tears at Graceland, awed by the Grand Canyon, and addicted to the Vegas slots.
  • “We get to Graceland. She's in tears... Grand Canyon…'Well, that is not just a hole.'...We get to Las Vegas, and I can't get her off the slot machines. She was sitting there like a crazy person…” – Leslie Bibb [53:13], [53:35]

[55:43]

• Bibb relishes facilitating “firsts” for her mom—watching her have formative, joyous experiences later in life.

  • “I think watching her have firsts in her late 50s...felt exciting and curious...I also thought if I had her stuck in a car for 12 hours, I’m like Barbara Walters. I’ll start getting her to talk.” – Leslie Bibb [55:43]

Honest Parenting & The Art of Lying

[59:42]

• Discussion of childhood lies, parents who value honesty, and how removing the allure from “sneaking” changes the stakes.
  • “The one rule in our family is that we couldn't—you couldn't lie to our parents... It was only when you lied and you tried to pull a fast one that he took great offense.” – Josh Meyers [60:06]
  • “My mom...just don't drink and drive...She took the allure away from drinking.” – Leslie Bibb [60:32]

The Emotional Heart of Family & Sibling Bonds

[63:11]

• Story of Bibb listening to her mother and her friends gossip, likening her love of conversation and character to her childhood eavesdropping.
• The Meyers brothers reflect on their closeness, overlaps in school, and adult friend groups—building on shared experiences and a love of comedy.

Transcript

[Seth Myers]

Hey, Baji.

[Josh Myers]

Hi, Sufi.

[Seth Myers]

Well, it's happened again. I'm getting my November cold.

[Josh Myers]

Oh, great.

[Seth Myers]

No avoiding it.

[Josh Myers]

You sound so. I mean, you sound so sexy when you got a cold.

[Seth Myers]

I mean. Thank you. And you know, we knocked out a couple of shows this week, so I only got two more to get through and hopefully. Although, I mean, at this point my colds are like kind of November to maybe. But I know it's fun because I think I can track back exactly when I got this cold, which is three nights ago. Addie was coughing a lot. And because she was coughing a lot, she wanted to sleep in our bed. And then for six hours she just coughed into my mouth. Do you think that might be why?

[Josh Myers]

Maybe. But I thought you wear that like that mouth tape.

[Seth Myers]

Yeah, I do.

[Josh Myers]

Some version thereof.

[Seth Myers]

Yeah. I've changed to a different mouth tape, but I do still tape my mouth. But I think your nose is still. You're getting coughs, you know, you're breathing through your nose, so that's where the coughs are going.

[Josh Myers]

Yeah. Maybe you gotta have wear nose tape as well and I don't know, somehow maybe breathe through your eye ducts.

[Seth Myers]

It's funny. You know, obviously Alexi is very like. What's the word? Like, she's always like, yeah, you wanna take all these herbs, you know, homeopathic. Is that maybe what I look at? You know?

[Josh Myers]

Yeah.

[Seth Myers]

And. And, and I was like, I think I got a cold. She's like, well, that's cuz you don't take any of the stuff. I'm like, she coughed in my nose. Like, I don't think elderberry syrup was like the last line of defense here between me and getting a cold.

[Josh Myers]

Yeah, no, I think that's right.

[Seth Myers]

She's the best one to sleep. I mean, I love all my kids, but she holds your hand when you sleep with her.

[Josh Myers]

Yeah. Well, speaking of your kids, you sent a couple videos through this morning.

[Seth Myers]

Because.

[Josh Myers]

We'Re about to go to Pittsburgh.

[Seth Myers]

Yep. Long planned.

[Josh Myers]

Long planned. But the boys didn't know about it. And dad wanted to send them a couple terrible towels to get them sort of juiced up for the trip. And you suggested that he also maybe should invite them because they didn't know about it.

[Seth Myers]

I was like, I think it'll be more fun if it comes from you. Yeah.

[Josh Myers]

And dad sent sort of a series of envelopes that I'm guessing it's the best.

[Seth Myers]

It made the whole thing choked me up so much because it was.

[Josh Myers]

It choked me up watching it this morning.

[Seth Myers]

It's very much was a flashback to the kind of life we had with dad where he make these very special things. So the boys were so excited. They didn't know what it was, but it was six manila envelopes that they had to open in order. Yeah. Also on the shipping label. Not what he wrote, but on the actual shipping label, it said to the Myers boys, like, that's what he entered in the address. So they were so excited.

[Josh Myers]

Yeah.

[Seth Myers]

So manila envelopes. Number one, Ash. Number two, Axel. Number three, Ash. Number four, Axel. So I immediately was like, oh, my God, this is. I can't believe he's done one of these things. And then also immediately frustrated because the kids were being dumb as rocks about it. Where, like, first of all, Axel. Axel was, like, sitting on the table, and he's like, there's no five. I'm like, you're sitting on five. Sit in a chair. And then Ash is like, let's both open our number ones at the same time. I'm like, there's only one number one. There's six. Look at the table.

[Josh Myers]

There's six.

[Seth Myers]

So I'm just like, okay, calm down. This is their moment. And so envelope number one says, we like trips. And I open it up, and it's four cutouts of just our heads. You, me, mom, and dad.

[Josh Myers]

Okay.

[Seth Myers]

And then the next one said, this is a place we go. And they open it up, and they take out a picture of Pittsburgh. But they don't know it's Pittsburgh. Right. Like, I don't. I don't think a lot of kids look at, like, aerial shots of cities and immediately know they're like, where is this?

[Josh Myers]

I mean, there's, like. There's a couple kids out there that do that, and it's like a great party trick.

[Seth Myers]

Yeah. Like, showing.

[Josh Myers]

They're like, Baltimore.

[Seth Myers]

Yeah.

[Josh Myers]

It's like that. Kalamazoo. Kalamazoo is a tough pole.

[Seth Myers]

They know all the. Yeah. They know every skyline, no matter how small. So that's. And then number three was. But we always are missing this person. And this was a very novel choice dad made. Hopefully not just an accident, but it was. Ash had a number three, and he opened it up, and. I'm sorry. Yeah, it was a picture. Picture of Axel. Like, a silly picture of Axel. And we also missed this person. And so they open it up, and it's a picture of the other one. So they each got the other one, and now they're, like, really laughing, and, like, it's like building. They don't, like, you know. Cause they, like, oh, we're going on a trip. And then it was like, will you come with us? And it's a picture of the stadium.

[Josh Myers]

Yeah.

[Seth Myers]

And now they're just like buzzing and it's like. And then the last one is, you're gonna need these. And it's a big fat envelope. And they open it up and it's the terrible towels.

[Josh Myers]

Yeah.

[Seth Myers]

And then I'm filming it and it sinks in. And I stopped right before. I didn't realize it hadn't fully sunk in. I know when you stopped, because I stopped. And then Axel screamed like a banshee. And then I took the second video, which is the one where he says fuck twice.

[Josh Myers]

Yeah. And then, yeah, Alexi tells him we have neighbors.

[Seth Myers]

He goes, oh, fuck. And then she goes, we have neighbors. And he goes, oh, fuck.

[Josh Myers]

But yeah, it ends with their. Like, is this. Are we going to a Pittsburgh Steeler game? Is this an invitation? And you go, yeah. And then you stop the video.

[Seth Myers]

Yeah. I shouldn't have stopped it then. Yeah.

[Josh Myers]

But I mean, look, that was a video. What's. What's real is that those boys are coming with us to Pittsburgh.

[Seth Myers]

They're so excited. Yeah. Immediately, way too high expectations. As for what's going to happen, Axel told me a long story about what if a ball. What if a quarterback throws a ball so bad that it goes into the stands and Axel catches it and he throws it back so good that they fire the quarterback and make him the quarterback?

[Josh Myers]

Oh, my. That would be great.

[Seth Myers]

Can we just go?

[Josh Myers]

If Aaron Rodgers replacement is Axel Myers, be amazing.

[Seth Myers]

I'm also very hopeful that we're talking the. The day of the NFL trade deadline. Okay. And there's one player that keeps turning up as a possible addition to the Steelers roster, and it's a wide receiver for the Oakland Raiders named Jacobe Myers.

[Josh Myers]

Oh, yeah.

[Seth Myers]

Spelled the same way.

[Leslie Bibb]

Yeah.

[Seth Myers]

I don't know if there's ever been an me Y E R s. Certainly not in the Steelers, but there's very few other than Jacoby Myers. There's.

[Josh Myers]

There's.

[Seth Myers]

Yeah, my.

[Josh Myers]

There's a. There's a center named Josh Meyers.

[Seth Myers]

Right. Wrong spelling. Yeah, but I'm still Josh Myers. Pretty. Got to take it. You're right. I don't know why I'm being such hard as about, but.

[Josh Myers]

Yeah, that'd be great. I mean, if they've got jerseys in the shop, I feel like those are the ones you get.

[Seth Myers]

Well, I got them jerseys that I'm bringing home tonight, which I think you'll also approve of. Yeah. Because there's brothers on the team, on the Steelers.

[Josh Myers]

Oh, yeah, The Haywards.

[Seth Myers]

So Ash got a Cam Hayward and Axel got a Connor Hayward. Awesome.

[Leslie Bibb]

Yeah.

[Josh Myers]

Yeah. And they're also their offense, defense. So there's always a chance one of those boys is going to be out on the field.

[Seth Myers]

I was going to say that. They're just like, my two sons are definitely not on the same side of the ball. Cause they're just constantly charging into each other. Yeah. But it was a really special morning, and it was like. It was really. It was best of Larry. Yeah. You know, because he was always so good at those things. Yeah.

[Josh Myers]

I mean, he used to, like Christmas morning. I feel like there were always some, like. Some runners, some, like, gift runners. You'd get something and you'd be like, oh, okay. But then the build that would come over a series of presents, and then you'd sort of start to put together. Oh, that thing that I didn't think much of plays into this next thing. Plays into this next thing, and it all culminates into something that sort of makes your child brain just explode with joy and. Yeah, yeah, he's excellent at that.

[Seth Myers]

So it was very cool and very excited. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Josh Myers]

Can't wait.

[Seth Myers]

Can't wait. So we'll obviously be excited to report back on that, and we're very excited for you to listen to this great conversation with Leslie Bibb, who.

[Josh Myers]

Oh, yeah, I will say, you know, we get a little breakdown of each guest we're gonna have that the producers put together for us. And one of Leslie's things is, like, didn't take a lot of trips. And anytime I see that, I'm like.

[Seth Myers]

Are you surprised, listeners, that Josh is immediately like, you're dead to me. We haven't even met yet. You're dead to me.

[Josh Myers]

I mean, I'm sure, you know, listeners, what the podcast is called.

[Seth Myers]

That's true.

[Josh Myers]

But Leslie, this thing happens to her that. I love it when it happens on the show is she sort of. Little things get tripped off in her memory, and she remembers some great trips, some great stories, and, yeah, I would.

[Seth Myers]

Say maybe has better trip stories than a lot of people who showed up thinking they had good ones.

[Josh Myers]

Yeah, yeah, for sure. I mean, we'll. We'll ask mom and dad. They're the real arbiters of that.

[Seth Myers]

Yeah, yeah. But hopefully she avoided the wrath of Larry on this one.

[Josh Myers]

I'm sure she did.

[Seth Myers]

Yeah, I think so, too. Yeah. Because, you know, he giveth and he taketh away. Oh, Larry. Yeah, he sends the Nice little, you know, vanilla envelopes that if you don't talk about strips, you don't talk about trips. Sorry. All right, let's listen. Thanks, everybody.

[Narrator/Poet]

Family trips with the M Brothers.

[Seth Myers]

Family chips of the man. Here we go. Hello.

[Leslie Bibb]

Hi. How are you?

[Josh Myers]

Hi. Hi.

[Seth Myers]

How are you?

[Josh Myers]

Good.

[Seth Myers]

Nice to see you.

[Josh Myers]

Good brother and bad brother, too.

[Leslie Bibb]

Oh, no.

[Josh Myers]

White T shirt, black T shirt.

[Leslie Bibb]

Oh, God.

[Seth Myers]

I'm in the.

[Leslie Bibb]

I'm in the bad brother section.

[Seth Myers]

Yeah, you're right. Team bad brother.

[Josh Myers]

No, you guys are cooler. You guys are cooler. That's.

[Seth Myers]

I tell you where I'm not cooler. I could put on my glasses and be the third person with glasses, but I left my cheaters at home, and these are the only pair I have.

[Leslie Bibb]

Oh, my God. Please wear those. They're so good.

[Seth Myers]

Thank you.

[Leslie Bibb]

Oh, my God.

[Seth Myers]

This was a real. I think this was, like, an airport purchase when I realized I didn't have them before a plane.

[Leslie Bibb]

Oh, my God.

[Josh Myers]

That was before Jackson Pollock got good.

[Leslie Bibb]

Do you. Yeah.

[Seth Myers]

Also real. This is a real narrow. Everything about him screams aunt.

[Leslie Bibb]

Yeah, it does. It does.

[Josh Myers]

It also looks like. Almost like, as we record this, Halloween's coming up, and it almost looks like a mask that you're wearing when you wear it. Yeah.

[Seth Myers]

I think this is. You know what? I think it's like a woman from a Far side cartoon. That's what.

[Josh Myers]

Oh, yeah.

[Leslie Bibb]

They're so. Actually. They're so bad. They're actually kind of good.

[Seth Myers]

Thank you.

[Leslie Bibb]

That's what I just realized. They were blue with the white splatters. Really? It's a very. I mean, for an airport, they've decided not to go red like Sally Jessie.

[Seth Myers]

Yeah, that's true.

[Leslie Bibb]

Remember, because they were Sally Jesse. Like, they were all red. Like, they were like, we're fun. We're gonna have. Readers are gonna be cool. It was like, when they were trying to rebrand readers, and then we.

[Seth Myers]

I'm really glad that you guys. I gave you guys space to come around to loving these glasses.

[Josh Myers]

Leslie, I don't know if I'm right about this or not, but I feel like we met at a kickball game in Malibu, like, years ago.

[Leslie Bibb]

Oh, my God.

[Josh Myers]

I had no idea why it was going on for a person.

[Leslie Bibb]

Guys, I have to tell you, part of the reason I was only a little hesitant to do this podcast was because it's about family trips and my memory. It's like I could hide my own Easter eggs. I'm like, the past. It's like. It's so gone. I literally was texting my Sister being like, hey, what was the name? And she's like, I can't remember. Which actually made me feel better because my sister Kim is like, usually like the elephant. She can remember everything and she couldn't remember. But I do remember this. You are right. It was a kickball game in Malibu, Josh. It was. I used to work with this orphanage down in Tijuana. And I think it was like a charity thing.

[Josh Myers]

I think it was too.

[Leslie Bibb]

It was a charity thing. And somebody said, do you want to do this kickball thing? Do you have a charity? And I was like, oh, yeah, well, let's do it for Alfaro. Because it was sort of this mom and pop charity. And we were. My friend was like the main benefactor for this orphanage down there. And so I was like, I think like, we won. I think we won. I think we got like 10 grand for them or something. I mean, you know.

[Seth Myers]

Oh, you had to win at kickball to get money for your charity. That is two. That is not fun, by the way.

[Leslie Bibb]

It's like if you do those. I did another thing. Like, remember that thing that Jane lynch did? Maybe it was like you draw and there was Pictionary, but it wasn't called.

[Josh Myers]

Win, lose or draw winlose.

[Leslie Bibb]

Did she do like a win loser draw? Well, they asked me to do it and it was again for charity. But the only way you won 25 grand was if you won.

[Seth Myers]

I'm okay with that. I just don't like when it's a sport and there's another team, you know, like a physical sport. I don't want to be kicking harder knowing that it's for orphans.

[Leslie Bibb]

Well, I drew harder because it was for orphans and I.

[Seth Myers]

But you're not gonna like pull a quad drawing. You know what I mean?

[Leslie Bibb]

I could get carpal tunnel, though.

[Seth Myers]

It's true, I did.

[Josh Myers]

I wanna say, like, Whitney Cummings was there.

[Leslie Bibb]

Whitney Cummings was the host.

[Josh Myers]

I think Whitney Cummings was there. And like, I mean, just to put a date on it, Perez Hilton, I believe, was not Perez Perez.

[Seth Myers]

Wow.

[Leslie Bibb]

Wow. That.

[Seth Myers]

I don't remember the other thing. Josh is wearing white today. I'm wearing black. And of course, the other reason we're Yin and yang is I'm the New Yorker and he's the LA person and I love all of his. I think I met you at. With LA people. Cause it's always like, was it kickball in Malibu for charity?

[Leslie Bibb]

I mean, this is a long time ago. This was like.

[Josh Myers]

It was a long time ago.

[Leslie Bibb]

Over like 20 plus years ago.

[Josh Myers]

Yeah, it was early early days of being in la. I have no idea how I sort of came there.

[Leslie Bibb]

How'd you find. No, you just wandered out to Malibu and you were like, I found a random field and some people playing a hardcore game of kickball for charity.

[Josh Myers]

Someone invited me. I can't recall who invited me. I remember you. Whitney Cummings and Perez Hilton. And then there was a guy. I had been cast in a movie and then got fired at the table read. And the guy who they replaced me with was there, and I got to meet him and I was like, oh, he's a nice guy.

[Seth Myers]

Who was it?

[Josh Myers]

It was not his fault.

[Leslie Bibb]

Who was that?

[Josh Myers]

I feel like his name might have also been Josh, but different last name.

[Seth Myers]

Yeah. Do you think when you got to the table read, they were like, oh, that wasn't who we thought.

[Josh Myers]

Maybe.

[Seth Myers]

But I said, josh. I did not. I mean, that guy.

[Josh Myers]

I'm sure I've never heard of the movie. I've never seen the movie, so I don't feel like I missed. I didn't miss out on. Can I ask you my Hurt Locker?

[Leslie Bibb]

I mean, what do you remember your. Did they. When did they tell you? Did they tell you right after the table read?

[Seth Myers]

Or.

[Leslie Bibb]

Or was it that night? Did you get the phone call, like, when you got to your car? And they were like, I got a.

[Josh Myers]

Call from Greg Grunberg, had, like, written it, and I sort of knew him socially or whatever, but not that well. But he called me and he was like, hey, buddy, I'm sorry.

[Leslie Bibb]

How quickly after, though?

[Josh Myers]

I mean, fairly soon after, it was like. It was. I was on Mad TV at the time, and I feel like I was maybe just like, pushing a little bit in the read and being sort of more sketch with it than they wanted. And it's like, well, anyone could have given me a note and I could pull it back.

[Leslie Bibb]

God forbid they give you a note. Instead they get, like, really scared. Seth, have you ever been fired?

[Seth Myers]

I haven't been fired, but I remember getting a call back and going in. It was maybe the only time I tested for, like, a network thing and I didn't get it. And I said to my manager, I was like, I mean, I'd love any feedback. And he goes, yeah, they just said you were really bad. It was like, oh, well, then I actually. Can I retroactively not get that feedback?

[Leslie Bibb]

Can you?

[Seth Myers]

But I was like, it was a good memory. I was like, you know what? Moving forward, I'll try to be not really bad.

[Leslie Bibb]

That's so funny. I got fired. I went in an audition for Early Edition, the TV show. They were gonna add a character.

[Seth Myers]

And this is the show. Where was it? Kyle Chandler.

[Leslie Bibb]

Yeah. And he got the news a day in advance or something, and he could read.

[Seth Myers]

He would get a newspaper a day in advance, and then he would try to help people avoid catastrophe.

[Leslie Bibb]

Yeah. Bad things. And so they were gonna add a character. And I think she had a kid, and I was like. I was like. I was in my 20s, I think. I can't remember exactly how, like. But it was like, if it had happened before popular or after popular, it might have been before popular, but I got. I went in. You know, you. Back in the day, you'd, like, go to. You'd go to, like, a producer's read, and then they would do. Then, like, they would do a test sometimes on the same day. And you were just riding around in a car with, like, a Thomas Guide in LA like, trying to do, like.

[Seth Myers]

This auditioning for one television show where everybody worked on it was in multiple places in the city. That's hard to drive it.

[Leslie Bibb]

Yes. And so I went to producers, and it was like, the chances of me getting it were, like, slim to none because I was a little on the young side. And also nobody knew who I was. And I. The producers loved it. I went to that same day, went before the network and got it, and literally was supposed to go on a trip to Hawaii. Came back and told my boyfriend at the time, I can't go. You're gonna go by yourself? I'm going to Chicago. My life's gonna change. I'm on a T. I'm a series regular, and I pack my suitcase, throw out the bathing suits, pack, like, clothes for Chicago. I go to LAX and I fly. And I think it was something dramatic. Like, I was about to board the plane to Hawaii and I got, like. My beeper went off and I went to a payphone. They're like, you got the job. And I, like, went, wow. Yeah. And, like, went home repacked, went back to LAX the next day, flew from LAX to Chicago, landed in Chicago, and my beeper went off. And I went to a pay phone in Chicago and I called my managers, and they're like, yeah, you got fired, Les Moonves. And I was like, I haven't even stepped foot. I just stepped foot in the city. And they were like, les Moonves says you're not famous enough. They're casting Kristy Swanson. And I was like. And I was like. It was just, like, the wit, you know, it was like, such a high and then such a low, so fast. And I remember my mom had sent me flowers. And then she's like, I sent you flowers to the hotel. I wonder who gets those. And I was like, well, I'm not gonna get them, Mom. I'll tell you who's not gonna get them. And they were like, what do you want? Do you want to go to the hotel and fly back? And I was like, no, get me out of Chicago. And I flew home. And as we were flying home, the flight attendant was like, doing like one of those. Remember when you just eat a lot of protein and you wouldn't like. It was like some Diet Atkins or something. Keto.

[Seth Myers]

Keto or something.

[Leslie Bibb]

Ketos something.

[Seth Myers]

Yeah, yeah, whatever.

[Leslie Bibb]

And she forced us to land in Las Vegas. Cause she thought she was like, having, like a heart attack or something. And we landed in Las Vegas. And I was like, this day just got worse. I didn't know how it could get worse. And I'm standing there. I remember she was like walking off waving like, I'm okay, I'm okay. And everyone's like, no, you should come off in a gurney right now, like you waving at us. And then I had to.

[Josh Myers]

Just needed a chicken burger.

[Leslie Bibb]

That's all you needed? You needed some rice. You needed to balance it out.

[Seth Myers]

I'm not saying it's fair or right, but it's very funny that a flight attendant thinks people care about how they are. Good news.

[Leslie Bibb]

I'm alive. Yeah. That was like my. That. That firing was like, sobering for me. I was like, oh, God. Getting fired. But I. I think it's. You've never been fired, Seth. That's amazing. I mean.

[Seth Myers]

I mean, I've been. I think.

[Leslie Bibb]

Well, he's like, let me think.

[Seth Myers]

Or maybe I've just buried it. But I will say, like, I'm also like, I didn't get hired that much. I mean, I basically got hired twice. Like, I've been working in the same building for 25 years.

[Leslie Bibb]

So that's kind of amazing, though.

[Seth Myers]

Yeah, it is. So, yeah, this is only. Cause it's on my dad. Look how beat up that ID is.

[Leslie Bibb]

Oh, my God, that's so cool. That looks like it should be in the.

[Seth Myers]

Like, it won't even focus on your face. It won't even focus on my face from 2001.

[Josh Myers]

So that's holding up his beat up ID from my ID looks.

[Seth Myers]

It looks the way Matthew J. Fox's photo in Back to the Future looks late in the film.

[Leslie Bibb]

Oh, my God.

[Seth Myers]

That's how faded it is.

[Leslie Bibb]

Also, that's such a deep cut reference.

[Josh Myers]

Yeah, looks a little bit like that. Jesus Christ. That. That woman tried to like fix up.

[Seth Myers]

But yeah, they repainted it.

[Leslie Bibb]

Oh my gosh.

[Seth Myers]

Did a bad job.

[Leslie Bibb]

[Seth Myers]

Here we go. Three older sisters. I'm fascinated by anyone who grows up with three older sisters.

[Leslie Bibb]

Three older sisters. But they were my sisters. You know, my dad died and I was a kid so I think that was like when I was three and my sisters were like, you were like oh brother, this is off to a good start. But like my sister Kim was 7 or 8 and Bev was like 9 or 10 and Trisha was 17 and I think it sort of like was like, you know, it's like a Molotov cocktail in your life, something like that happening. But it my sisters Kim and Bev were so close in age that they sort of banded together. Trisha like went off and I was just the annoying sister. My memories of growing up are Just wanting to be in, like, breathing the same air as Kim and Bev. I thought they were so cool. And they thought I was a gnat. Like, I was the bait one time. And Kim, my sister Kim's gonna be so mad that I tell the story. But they did hogtie me and throw me into a shower in my mother's room. Cause my mother's having, like, friends over or something. And she was like, watch, Leslie. And they're like, okay. And they're like, you wanna play a game? And I was like, o. And so they tied me up and threw me and my mom's shout just like, creating some sort of barrier to. And then I was like, I'm gonna get out of this. And I got out and I just would bang on their door. And then they'd be like, you can sit in the closet. And I would sit in the closet and just, like, listen to them, have.

[Seth Myers]

A conversation to them.

[Leslie Bibb]

Cause it was all. We grew up in the country. So, like, they were very cool. Like, I thought they were very cool, but I think they were popular. And they would talk. They would just talk. It was like, all, like, these cool girls. So I'm like, whatever. At this point, I'm probably eight or nine or ten. And they're just. I just thought they were so cool, and I was so not cool. And I would just listen to, like, those girls talk.

[Seth Myers]

It is so funny. This. This really tells you everything you need to know about country living. It's like, a perfectly fine way to spend a day is listening. Listen to siblings talk through a. Through a closet wall.

[Leslie Bibb]

It was like.

[Josh Myers]

It was better than a shower, Seth. It's better than a shower. Better than hog tied in a shower.

[Leslie Bibb]

Hog tied in a shower. But I just. I don't know. And then they would just. They would have to let me into a room because if I banged too hard, my mom would hear. So. But I would sit in that chair and I was in the dark, and I would just. And I couldn't have been happier listening to them talk about, like, whatever, boys. And, like, I remember. I remember things like when they all got, like, rat's tails. Remember? Like, that was like, girls would cut their hair. And I remember Kim, I, like, snuck down to the basement. I was like, they're gonna die. Terry Johnson's rat's tail or whatever. And they dipped it in bleach. And her entire hair, it just, like, the bleach went, like. And ate it. And it fell off. And I was like, this, like, hiding over saddles, just being Like, y. I just.

[Seth Myers]

It's so rare as a kid when you're, like, hiding and peeking, that you see something actually as cool as a rat's tail falling off from an overdose of bleach. That's the dream. It is.

[Leslie Bibb]

But it's just. I remember it being like. I'll never forget it. Like, it's like dynamite. Like, just burning. And then it stopped, right? And then they were like, well, so long. That's gonna take a lot of growing back to. Like, she had to have, like, grown her hair out long, and they had to cut it and stuff like that. But, yeah, my sister's.

[Seth Myers]

I mean, it is so funny to think of, like. I mean, thank God it stopped when it did and didn't. You know, it's like, take her whole head into the whole head.

[Josh Myers]

I know.

[Leslie Bibb]

It's like when you see, like, when they put a tooth in, like, Coca Cola and they watch what happens to it. That's what happens. That's not how you dye hair. I learned a very. I remember also, like, I did things because of them, because I thought they were so cool. Like, I shaved my legs way earlier than I should have. It was a terrible idea. Cause I was terrible at it. Like, I just came out. It looked like a crime scene. I watched them, like, plucking their eyebrows, and I was like, well, they're idiots. They should just use a razor blade, like, a razor. And then I shaved half my eyebrows off. I mean, they would. Their big thing, too, was, like, they would let me hang out, and they'd be like, hey, Leslie, will you go to the kitchen and get me? And they'd have some. Order, like, Coke or this or whatever. And I'd be like, okay. And they're like, we'll count and see how fast you could do it. I would do anything if you would count to see how fast I could do it. And I think that's why now I'm always. I'm, like, such a crazy multitasker. Cause I'd be like, okay. And I'd start running up the steps, and then I would come back, and I was like, you never were counting? Kim's like, no, we never counted. You would come. We'd hear you, like, clomping down the stairs. They'd be like, 18, 19, 20. And I'd be like, here's your Coke. Here's your chips. But, yeah, I just always thought they were so cool and, like. But then, you know, never want to be. So.

[Seth Myers]

Did you ever. Did you ever catch up in age? Like, at what Point were was it the most likely for you and the two that were the next oldest to, like, hang out socially?

[Leslie Bibb]

So Kim Bib. I think it really shifted, like, when Kim went to college and my. When they left the house, my mom was working in Richmond, so we were sort of like, our. Our sort of housekeeper would sort of stay with us during the week, and she would watch us and sort of just take care of us during the week. And my mom was away working, like, Monday through Friday. She's the director of Consumer affairs for the Commonwealth of Virginia. She'd, like, worked in politics and then went on to do this. And when. And we were staying in Livingston because Bev and Kim were in high school and they wanted to stay there. And they, you know, that was their high school experience. So when they were leaving, I was coming into ninth grade, and I was like, I don't need to stay in this town. Let's get out. I want to go to Richmond. That's a big city. And so I convinced my mom. I was like, let's sell the house. Let's move to, like, let's go. And so when I moved to Richmond, I think my sister Kim and I. Cause she was going to vcu, she'd started. She, like, by the time I hit, like, my sophomore year, junior year, she started to go to vcu, which is in Richmond. And then I won this contest on Oprah Winfrey that then started taking me to New York. So suddenly, I think my life became interesting to her. And, like, it just sort of. We started to sort of catch up. Like, I wasn't. You know, I was 17. She gave me her ID so I could have a fake ID, you know.

[Seth Myers]

And the contest you won in Oprah Winfrey is you got her a Coke in under 18 seconds.

[Leslie Bibb]

I got 15 seconds.

[Josh Myers]

Congratulations.

[Leslie Bibb]

I got Iman a Coke in 14. You were.

[Seth Myers]

This is what it was all for. This is what it's for. I've been ready for this moment.

[Leslie Bibb]

Thank you, Kim. But, yeah, that's when we. I feel like that's when we started to. And she would come to New York. And then Kim and I. I think of my three older sisters, I'm closest with her because she just, like, Bev's life sort of, you know, went a different way. And Trisha had kids and had her own thing, and Kim and I sort of suddenly that age gap of, like, five years didn't seem so big when you're 18 and she's 23. And, like, I'm living in New York, like, I don't know. There's something about it. And I just remember she would always, like, come to New York, and I. She has this. She was like, in this. She always had this thing like. Like, guys always loved her, and she always. And I remember she would come visit me, and I'd feel like she somehow got bumped up to first class. Or she'd get out of a limo. I'd remember, kind of. I'd be like, how the heck. She's like, I don't know. This guy just said come. And it's like back in the day when you could do it. She would leave New York and, like, my phone would have, like, my answering machine would be like, hey, Kim, it's this person. I was like, I can't get a date in this fricking city. And, like, you have them lined up. Like, she. She really got to, like, sort of live. It felt like she had a very. She had a New York experience about. Even though she didn't live here and she was going to school at vcu, she took her sweet time to finish vcu.

[Seth Myers]

Did you guys. I would imagine with the age gap and, you know, losing your father at such a young age. You had a single mom. Like, were you. Were there many trips where you were with all five of you?

[Leslie Bibb]

No, I really. I think that sort of changed. Like, I know there must have been. I mean, there were trips. Kim and Bev and Trisha have trips. But, like, where we were from, like, we didn't. I mean, there weren't really. Like, in Virginia, like, you would go to Virginia Beach. Like, I remember seeing. Like, my memory is such. I think it's probably because my dad dying that, like, it was such a jolt to my system that my memory sort of, like, collapses. Like, I. I have some memories of him, and then I sort of lose memories. Like, I just. It's all sort of awash. So I see pictures sometimes, and I feel like I create the memories in my head from seeing pictures. So I remember seeing pictures of, like, we clearly went on vacation together in Virginia Beach. Like, I can see my aunts and uncles. So, like, that's where we would go. We wouldn't do any place that seemed really like we were going to, like, Paris or something. Like, no.

[Seth Myers]

So, yeah, the show. When you film White Lotus, that was the first time you were at a White Lotus resort.

[Leslie Bibb]

That was the very first time. Like, I. That sort of thing of, like, going, like, taking your children to someplace fancy, like, that is so foreign to me. I mean, my favorite probably, like, trip I took Cause I always felt like with my mom, because maybe she was always just hustling to, like, you know, she was working, and she had to raise, you know, these four. Four girls. So I remember that everybody was out of the house. I was. It was probably my eighth grade year. Kim. Kim didn't have any interest in it, I don't think. Eighth. Yeah, it was like, eighth grade. And I. We knew. My sister Trish had a friend who had a place in Key Largo, Florida. Like, Florida was, like, the destination. Like, we would go to Florida. I remember it felt like a series of years. We'd go to Florida in hopes of getting into Disney World or Disneyland, whichever one is there. And then my mom, who was a little bit always late, we'd always, like, get there too late, and they'd be like, we're full up. Nobody else can come in. So we'd go across the street to SeaWorld. I mean, so. And then we'd, like, be there forever. So, like, every trip. So I've never been to Disney World in Florida with my mother, but it.

[Seth Myers]

Makes it sound like there's, like, SeaWorld reps standing outside Disney World being like, hey, bad news, you guys. You guys like dolphins?

[Josh Myers]

Yeah.

[Leslie Bibb]

You want to see an orca?

[Josh Myers]

You're paying. Paying full freight over here. Now, we were going to give you two for ones, but you really want to do something, so.

[Leslie Bibb]

But that's my memory of a kid of, like, being like, oh, we didn't get in. And so I was like, I've gotta somehow convince my mother. So I always had to plan everything. So I called my sister Trish, and I said, hey, can you call your friend who has this house in Key Largo? Cause I think I'd been down there maybe, like, to babysit for my sister Trish. Like, she would use me, like, to babysit for her because she was having kids. And I was like, at the age of, like, babysitting age. And she was like, okay. And I called her friend, and I was like, can we get this for my spring break? She was like, yeah, yeah, yeah. And so I came, and I was like, mom, here's what the airplane. These are the airfares. I've got us a free place to stay. Let's go to Key Largo. So I sort of, like, orchestrated this trip, and my mom decided to go, I think, maybe with her best friend, who was not my aunt, but we call everybody an aunt, like, like my Aunt Shelby and my Aunt Shelby's sister, who I cannot remember her name, but I remember she'd always was in, like, fabulous, fabulous, like, caftans. And she had a pool, and they lived in Northern Virginia. And she had a husband who I never was around, and he only. And whenever I'd see him, he'd always be wearing shorts and sitting in front of, like, the television with, like. Like a. One of those tray, like, trays. You could eat in front of the.

[Seth Myers]

Oh, TV tray.

[Leslie Bibb]

Yeah. TV tray.

[Seth Myers]

Yeah.

[Josh Myers]

Yeah. And so pretty sexy guy. Pretty cool, sexy guy.

[Leslie Bibb]

I just don't remember him being Aunt.

[Seth Myers]

Shelby's sister had a catch.

[Leslie Bibb]

But she was such a fox, though. She was, like. Like, loud and boisterous and, like, she had this great, like, brown hair that remind. Reminded me of, like, a country and western, like, singer and, like, you know, I don't know. Loretta Lynn had a love child, and she was really fun. And so Mama was like, we're gonna take Shelby and her sister and her sister's daughter, who I feel like might have been also named Leslie. And so we went, and it was really fun. And you had golf carts that you got to drive around the island. Cause it's a little island, and it's kind of like wherever it was in Key Largo. And we were at the pool, and there were other kids, and they were like, hey, everybody's sneaking out of their timeshares or whatever they are. And I was like, we're it. We're doing it. And so I created this very elaborate plan. We snuck. Somehow we snuck out. I think we probably did it so poorly. We did it through the front door. Like, I was like, it's too high. We were, like, on the second floor, so we couldn't jump out a window. So, like. But it was, like, definitely crawling and getting out. Go out, steal the golf cart, drive there, hang out, drive back. Felt very exciting because, like, I wasn't doing that in Richmond, and I definitely wasn't doing that in the country, because you would just be out in your pasture with, like, cows and horses, and nobody lived close enough that you could walk anywhere. And so.

[Seth Myers]

And golf carts will stay.

[Leslie Bibb]

No. Yes. And also, golf carts are fancy, and we didn't have anything like that. And so we snuck back in, and I was like, I am so fucking clever. I am really good at sneaking out. Like, I was so proud of myself. And we got back into bed, and I remember my mom and this woman who I can't. In the caftan came in, and they're like, leslie, are you okay? And, like, they came in pulling the same heist because they knew we were gone. And knew we were gone the whole time. And my mom was trying to. To, like, see if she could, like, play me and get. She wanted to see how far I could make my stupid plan look like it was really working. And I just remember Aunt Shelby's sister was so pissed, she just ruined my mom's plan. And she started screaming, the party's over. The party is over. I just. She wouldn't stop saying it. And my mom was trying to be mad. Suddenly she was like, you lied. You're lying. And then this woman kept saying, the party's over. The party's over. And my mom started laughing. And then she was like. And then she was like, oh, forget it. It's not worth it. We're on vacation. Forget it.

[Seth Myers]

I remember sneaking out once and coming back and again thinking the same thing, like, got away with it.

[Leslie Bibb]

How did you sneak out? How'd you sneak out? Through a window or, like, no front door as well?

[Seth Myers]

Cause we lived in the middle of, like, you know, suburbs, but, like, New Hampshire suburbs. Pretty woodsy. But I remember sneaking out, coming back, and then waking up. My dad walked into the room and was just standing in the doorway, and he went, where are. He goes, where were you? And I said, I've been here the whole night. And he went, liar. And then he went back to bed and let me just, like, sit with it until the morning, because, of course, what happened was, like, the dog had barked, and then he woke up and.

[Leslie Bibb]

And then you're gone.

[Seth Myers]

Saw my door was open.

[Leslie Bibb]

Do you just.

[Seth Myers]

Gone.

[Leslie Bibb]

Did you. Did he ever dress it the next morning?

[Seth Myers]

Oh, 100%, yeah.

[Leslie Bibb]

Was he, like, I was scared you were dead. I was.

[Seth Myers]

I think it was more he was angry that I. To be honest, I think if I'd said I snuck out and went to a party, my punishment would have been far less. It was that I thought I could just say, I mean, by the way, if your dad's standing in your doorway and says, where were you? Like, that's a good hint that he's on to something. You know what I mean?

[Leslie Bibb]

I just.

[Seth Myers]

Like, he had never done it on a previous night.

[Leslie Bibb]

But, like, your young mind, that's not really deducing things is, like, you just always make the wrong choice. It's very rare.

[Josh Myers]

Always.

[Leslie Bibb]

Right. Josh, did you. Did you guys sneak out together ever?

[Seth Myers]

Never together. Even though we're only two years apart, we never snuck out together.

[Leslie Bibb]

Did you guys hang out?

[Seth Myers]

There was so much sneaking out.

[Josh Myers]

Yeah, we hung out a li. I mean, more later on.

[Leslie Bibb]

Oh, Seth goes a Little.

[Seth Myers]

Like a little. But it was more, I will say. And I mean this. Like, Josh had. I. We had friends. Cause we're two years apart in school, and then we had a group of friends that were between us. That kind of started more Josh's friends than mine. But I hung out. I think it allowed me to hang out with Josh because they were like a gateway class. It wasn't just me hanging out with. When I was a senior, I wasn't hanging out with sophomores. It was like hanging out with juniors. And then Josh was also.

[Josh Myers]

That was like the. Matt Traxler.

[Seth Myers]

Yes.

[Josh Myers]

Max Engelhardt.

[Leslie Bibb]

Do you remember when. What was your moment where, like, it wasn't like you were like, oh, we actually really do want to hang out together.

[Josh Myers]

We went to college together. And that sort of. That kind of sealed the deal because there would be. And we were in the same fraternity, so there would be, like, you know, Friday afternoon, every fraternity would, like, cook out. They were called tgs, I guess for thank God it's Friday.

[Leslie Bibb]

Tgs, I think.

[Seth Myers]

I think so.

[Josh Myers]

I think that's what they were called.

[Seth Myers]

Or was it tailgates? Or was it short for tailgates? I don't know.

[Josh Myers]

And it was always on Friday.

[Leslie Bibb]

But aren't tailgates always. Are surrounding, like a game?

[Seth Myers]

Yeah.

[Leslie Bibb]

I don't know what I want it to be called. Tgs. Tgs.

[Seth Myers]

Yeah. TGI Fridays. Tgs.

[Leslie Bibb]

Tgs.

[Josh Myers]

We do tgs.

[Leslie Bibb]

Tgs.

[Josh Myers]

And then. Yeah. So we hung out at college a bit because we would be at these, you know, fraternity parties, or we'd be going to the games together. And then we lived in Amsterdam together, working for a comedy theater out there.

[Seth Myers]

So overlapped a lot over the years.

[Josh Myers]

Yeah, yeah.

[Leslie Bibb]

Amsterdam.

[Seth Myers]

Really good.

[Josh Myers]

Yeah.

[Leslie Bibb]

But then, did you take pot together in Amsterdam?

[Seth Myers]

We. We have. We have taken pot as. They've taken a couple, as they say, together. We took two pots.

[Leslie Bibb]

We took two pots. Two pots and a.

[Seth Myers]

Two pots, one bowl and a. And a frying pan. We also. But then the crazy thing is, as of 2001. Sorry, our dad listens to this. Leslie, shut the fuck up. Stop asking questions about us doing pot.

[Seth Myers]

I ended up in a. I've been in New York since 01, and Josh has been in LA since like, basically 02. Yeah, so it's. So we haven't. That, you know, we. We had a real hot start as far as, like, cohabitating and being in the same places, but not since.

[Leslie Bibb]

Not since. But now you do this. So you get to. On the zooms.

[Seth Myers]

It's a real breakthrough. It's a real breakthrough to do a podcast with a sibling.

[Josh Myers]

It's a lot. And then I've also, like, I've really inserted myself in Seth's college friend group and I've sort of. I've been welcomed in, like, there's.

[Seth Myers]

Yeah. Welcomed in.

[Josh Myers]

We're in a fantasy football league and we do a trip every year with those guys.

[Leslie Bibb]

Where, like, where's your trip?

[Seth Myers]

The best one. We did go to the Grand Canyon for a fantasy football draft. Yeah.

[Leslie Bibb]

Okay, wait, you just reminded me. I took my mom to the Grand Canyon. Maybe that was a great family. Like, oh, I just. See, I told you guys.

[Seth Myers]

Did you do it or did you see a picture of the Grand Canyon and you think you did it?

[Leslie Bibb]

No, So I.

[Seth Myers]

How old were you? This is very cool to bring a mom to a Grand Canyon. How old were you?

[Leslie Bibb]

Well, I was. I got a job in New Orleans and my mom flew out to la and we drove from LA to New Orleans together. And then I did the job just to.

[Seth Myers]

Sorry to interrupt, but is that something? Did that seem like something your mom would do, or were you surprised that she offered or that you asked?

[Leslie Bibb]

I don't. You know what? I think I was like, in my 20s and I remember feeling like it was like a big deal because my mom wasn't. I always say she was like a bit of a wolf because she was always like, oh, yeah, you can go to move to New York. Oh, yeah, you can go do this. Oh, you want to go live in Japan when you're 16 for two months, fine. But for some reason Driving to New Orleans felt dangerous somehow. More dangerous than, like, going when I was 16. So she was like, you're gonna be. I'm gonna do this with you. So she came. Or maybe she just wanted to go antiquing in, like, New Orleans and she had some, like, sub plan. But I went there. I did that job. Then I flew home to Virginia, to Richmond. And I then was like, I have to drive my. This car. My car back to LA after the job was done. And she was like. I was like. And I think I proposed it to her. I was like, let's do it together. And I went to aaa. Which, by the way, I remember thinking in being in Virginia beach when I was a kid and seeing. Sitting in the back of my mom's car and seeing a triple A sign. And clearly, I must have been, like, aware of AA for some reason. I don't know if, like, somebody had gone into it or something. But I remember being like, why are people advertising that they're an aa? Isn't it supposed to be anonymous? And now it's not anonymous, and you've put it on the back. And I was like, there's so many people. So I went to AAA and got, like. They did the triptychs. And we drove.

[Seth Myers]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Leslie Bibb]

And I remember in my heart, I wanted to do three things my mom hadn't done. So I was like, mama, we're gonna go to Graceland. We're gonna go to the Grand Canyon, and we're gonna go to Vegas. And she's like, I don't wanna see where Elvis is born or where Elvis lives. Cause it's just gonna be a letdown. I don't wanna see a big hole in the ground. And I wanna go to Vegas. And I was like, she sounds fun. Yeah. And I was like, why not? It'll be really fun. Leslie Louise. I don't wanna do anything. Cut to. We do all of them and we get to Graceland. She's in tears. Like, she starts having, like. I think she's about to have a heart attack. She's like, so. She's so in love with Elvis Presley. She was scared of, like, going and somehow being disappointed, I think. And I think, like, seeing his grave, like, it was, like, very deep for her. I mean, she just wept the entire time. So that was.

[Seth Myers]

I thought when you said very deep, you were referring to the grave. They were very worried his fans were gonna dig up the bo. It's pretty deep.

[Josh Myers]

He went in at six feet deep. But he was a big boy. And he's sunk down.

[Leslie Bibb]

Oh, God. My mother's rolling right now. She's like, seth, don't you dare say that about Elvis.

[Seth Myers]

God, she loved Elvis.

[Josh Myers]

I loved Graceland. I thought it delivered.

[Leslie Bibb]

It delivers. It's so cool. And then we got to the Grand Canyon, and I just remember her face at the Grand Canyon. And she was just like. She was like, well, that is not just a hole. And I was like, no, Mama, it is not just a hole. And then cut to. We get to Las Vegas, and I can't get her off the slot machines. She was sitting there like a crazy person on the slot machine. So that trip was actually pretty great.

[Seth Myers]

I like that. It started with her being like, I'm gonna regret it if I go. And at the end, you were like, I'm regretting it that you can't. A little bit. I cannot get you away from the slots.

[Leslie Bibb]

I can't get you away from the slots. And a terrible driver. So I. Every time I remember she was driving, and she would hit the brake so hard, and I feel like I turned around and I saw, like. I was like, mama, I think you just caused, like. You may have just caused, like, a pileup behind us. Because she's like, what are you talking about? Like, she was just. She was very like that.

[Seth Myers]

And I was like, okay, that's amazing.

[Leslie Bibb]

You're insane.

[Seth Myers]

I think that's such a wonderful. I don't know whose instinct. I mean, it's great that you had that instinct that that would be a special thing to do.

[Leslie Bibb]

I think that's something Sam always says to me. Like, I think because I lost, I don't have a lot of memories. I'm always trying to form it. So, like, I get very excited about planning something for somebody else or planning an experience is really fun to me. And then I love watching people open presents that I get them. Like, I almost. More than, like, I like opening presents. I know that's. That sounds. I mean, listen, I like a gift, but, like, sometimes it feels like too much pressure to have the right. But I love watching. I love when people win. Like, I. I. I just. Like, you could win. It doesn't matter what you. If I, like, I just get so excited at that and about that. And so I think watching her have firsts in her.

[Seth Myers]

Right.

[Leslie Bibb]

Late 50s, and she didn't really travel a lot, and, like, it felt exciting and curious, and I think it was probably the onslaught of, like, me starting to watch her. She was always the most curious person I knew. And as she got older, she Got a little less curious and less and less as she got older and older. And so it always felt like I was gonna jolt something into her. And also, I think just if I could get in a car. Cause she was, you know, Southerners or my family, they, like. They don't give it up. Like, they keep they, like, secrets, or they don't like to talk about stuff. So I also thought if I had her stuck in a car for 12 hours, I'm like Barbara Walters. I'll start getting her to talk. It's like. And so I think I learned a lot on that trip about my father. And she really talked a lot about stuff that I think she didn't want to really visit in life because I think it was so probably painful for her.

[Seth Myers]

Of course.

[Leslie Bibb]

Yeah. And so. But that trip was. Oh, look, I just remembered it. Yeah.

[Seth Myers]

Yeah.

[Josh Myers]

Did you see any shows in Vegas? Do you recall?

[Leslie Bibb]

Did we see a Siegfried in Roy? I don't know if I. You know what? I don't think. I think we didn't see a show that I screwed up, that I didn't have the foresight to, like, plan in advance. I just had.

[Josh Myers]

I missed Siegfried and Roy.

[Leslie Bibb]

I missed. But I remember. But you know what? I'm also. I can't tell you. I just remember getting there, and every time we pulled in, I was traveling with, like, my. You remember those bike racks, those tracks? And I had this mountain bike, because I would bike everywhere when I was in New Orleans for some reason, and I would just be lifting this bike on and off as we drove cross country. And I remember pulling up in front of whatever hotel we had booked or I had booked, and just unloading the bike and them being, like, not impressed that I was pulling a bike. I was like, well, this is not Sharon Stone in Casino, is it?

[Seth Myers]

No. When a bike pulls up, they're like, easy money. They're like, this is not. There's no card counting going on from the guy who pulls in with the bike.

[Leslie Bibb]

No, no, there is. No. Exactly. Exactly. But, yeah.

[Josh Myers]

Did you, like, plan that trip in a way that you stayed in, like, cute little towns, or were you sort of like roadside motels?

[Leslie Bibb]

Oh, that we, like, just. I was like, we'll figure that out. Which is so. So we would always just drive. Like, my plan was to drive a certain amount of time. And, like. And I had a dog, so I think I would just pull into motels that would take a dog, or we'd sneak Jack, my dog, into the hotel. And my mom was just like, I can't believe we're doing this. And my poor dog had the worst stomach. He was almost like. He was just like the whole time. That was a rough thing. I don't know how I figured out a hotel in Vegas where I could have my dog in that. That I don't recall.

[Seth Myers]

How did anybody ever find, like, discover somebody worked for the hotel, discover you'd snuck a dog in. And when they found the dog, did they scream, the party's over.

[Leslie Bibb]

Or did they. Or did they scream, liar, liar. Liar.

[Seth Myers]

You saw the sign. You saw the sign.

[Leslie Bibb]

No dogs allowed. I don't know. We somehow got away with it. And I would just, like. I don't know. That is so funny, because I don't. I'm. I hate lying. It's like, I like to pull a sneak and a surprise on people.

[Seth Myers]

That's not a lie.

[Leslie Bibb]

But that doesn't feel like a lie. Like, I hate being like, do you have a dog? And I'm like, no.

[Seth Myers]

But somehow I'm a terrible.

[Josh Myers]

I learned.

[Seth Myers]

I mean, I will say I'm a terrible liar as an adult. Whereas, like, my wife would sneak. I mean, if she could sneak the kids on a plane and luggage, she would do it. And just the amount of, like, corners she's willing to cut. And I'm like, I don't have the nerve for this. And she's like, then you go in the other TSA line. I don't need you blowing up my spot. Josh, are you a good liar heist move?

[Josh Myers]

No. I mean, it was. The one rule in our family is that we couldn't. You couldn't lie to our parents. So if you. If we were going to be going to a friend's house, he'd be like, are people going to be drinking? And your best move was to be to say yes.

[Leslie Bibb]

Yep.

[Josh Myers]

And then he would say, then stay there. And then you were fine. It was only when you lied and you tried to pull a fast one that he took great offense.

[Seth Myers]

Yeah.

[Josh Myers]

And then you'd get in trouble.

[Leslie Bibb]

My mom was similar to that. When. I don't know what, like, also, too. I also feel like. Cause I'm the baby of the four. And I think by the time she got to me, like, the way she raised us changed, you know? And so I remember her saying when I was in high school, and her saying, if you want to drink, there's the bar and just don't drink and drive. And that became, like, very a big deal. And I think also there was something. Cause she took, like, the allure away from drinking that. She was like, well, if you want it, it's right there. So that going to, like, that sneak of it all became not. She took it away. She took that fun away from it.

[Seth Myers]

Dad's thing was, he was definitely just like, I'm so insulted that either of you think you're smarter than me.

[Leslie Bibb]

Well, of course.

[Seth Myers]

Like, that was always like.

[Leslie Bibb]

But you do think you. You think you're so, so clever. I feel like if I had kids, that would be my thing, too. That, like, lying to me and thinking that I'm a moron. But then everybody I knew as kids always goes like, my kid thinks I'm such an idiot. And I was like, oh, I guess that's like, the right. Do your kids think you're an idiot?

[Seth Myers]

Yes. And.

[Josh Myers]

And they're little too.

[Seth Myers]

And they also are bad liars. They're bad liars.

[Josh Myers]

Like, that's just. That's all children. I feel like. I mean, there might be a few magical children out there that are good at it, but. Yeah, watching a kid, like, who's under 10 try to lie to you is awesome when they're not your kid. Maybe when they're your kid, it makes you mad. But when I see it, it's just like, oh, my gosh, Josh, do you have kids?

[Seth Myers]

Is.

[Josh Myers]

No.

[Seth Myers]

Yeah, my middle had a scab on the end of his nose the other day, and I said, what happened? He goes, I don't know. And I'm like, you don't know? And he goes. And then my. His older brother was like. He took, like, one of those electric, like, nail file, like, you know how it, like, smooths out your nails?

[Leslie Bibb]

Uhhuh.

[Seth Myers]

And he just put it on his nose.

[Josh Myers]

You say, so.

[Leslie Bibb]

Who. Who's doing manicures in your house? Who hasn't?

[Seth Myers]

We run a small salon. You know, New York is expensive. Leslie. Leslie. Yeah, the rents are insane. So we do have a small sort of.

[Leslie Bibb]

Can I make an appointment? Because my nails are pretty. They're nubs. I need some help again.

[Seth Myers]

Our main guy is doing his nose. It's also like. So my oldest wants to be Captain America, and my wife ordered him a Captain America costume that was too big for Halloween.

[Josh Myers]

Not just as a costume.

[Seth Myers]

Yeah, no, he's never gonna make it as Captain America.

[Leslie Bibb]

Seth, how bad is that scab? Sorry, I can't get past that.

[Seth Myers]

It's so bad. You can't believe it. And he doesn't care at all. And I'm like, are you not, like, embarrassed? He's like, what happened? I'm not gonna do it again. I'm like, great.

[Josh Myers]

Yeah. He touched the stove.

[Seth Myers]

Oh, my God. Now I wanna see if I've taken a picture of him since he did it.

[Leslie Bibb]

Oh, God. Please, please, please have a picture. So wait, Captain America costume's too big.

[Seth Myers]

Can you see the thing on his nose?

[Leslie Bibb]

I can't.

[Josh Myers]

Yeah, it doesn't look terrible.

[Seth Myers]

All right. It's not terrible. Also, does he.

[Leslie Bibb]

Does he have a black eye?

[Seth Myers]

Probably. Oh, my God. What do you mean? I mean, he's. It's just. He's one. We have two kids.

[Josh Myers]

He's the wild one.

[Seth Myers]

Yeah, he's the one like you. We have two boys. One who's like, pristine, and the other one who's just, like, a thousand cuts, a thousand bruises. Never knows where he got them.

[Leslie Bibb]

Or he does and he's lying.

[Josh Myers]

And he's lying.

[Seth Myers]

Or he's lying. I love how he just won't tell.

[Leslie Bibb]

Isn't it amazing how we all just come out different? Like, same mom and dad, same sex, and then we just have our personalities, and part of it's crafted from the experiences that we have. I mean, I know that part of me being an actor comes from spending so much time alone and in my imagination. And, like, I know I've always just. I gravitate towards. Like, I love listening to people talk. Like, I. Cause I would, like, crawl down from my room. I was always crawling somewhere as a kid. But, like, my mom would, like, have her friends over and they play rook, some card game. And I would, like, bring in. I had a pillow. It was called a BB pillow. I don't know why I called it that, but that I had this pillow that I always had. And I would, like, just sneak my way in slowly and to the point that I would just almost be underneath the table. And I could sleep just listening to them talk. There was something so comforting to hearing my mom and her friends talk shit. Like, just talk shit. Like, talking about. I don't even know what they were talking shit about, but, like, just their banter back and forth, like playing a card game, sitting in the kitchen under that bright light. I don't know. There was something so great about that.

[Josh Myers]

Well, it probably took you back to being in the closet listening to him and Beth.

[Leslie Bibb]

Exactly. Kim and Beth. That's my life.

[Seth Myers]

Crawling and listening. Sam's like, where do you want to go on vacation, Leslie? You're like, just a closet where we could hear some teen girls talk about cool shit. This has been amazing, Leslie. I'm so excited for Palm Royale. Season 2 comes out on November 12th. It's such a great show with a fantastic cast.

[Leslie Bibb]

That Kristen wig, she's magical.

[Seth Myers]

She's not bad. I think she's got a chance in this biz.

[Leslie Bibb]

She is so funny in this show. I mean, everybody is. And like Carol Burnett, like, God, it's amazing.

[Seth Myers]

Carol Burnett getting. I mean, season one, the amount of laughs she got is like a coma patient.

[Leslie Bibb]

As a coma patient is. It's like a. It's an acting class right there.

[Seth Myers]

Yeah.

[Leslie Bibb]

She can walk onto a set and say good morning and people start laughing.

[Seth Myers]

It's wonderful.

[Leslie Bibb]

She's a. She's a. She's a gift to this world.

[Seth Myers]

All right, but before we let you go, Josh is going to ask you our speed round questions.

[Josh Myers]

All right, here we go. You can only pick one of these. Is your ideal vacation relaxing, adventurous, or educational?

[Leslie Bibb]

I'm gonna say adventurous. But my adventurous vacations always include an element of education.

[Josh Myers]

Of course.

[Leslie Bibb]

I always spend one day with a tour guide wherever I go.

[Seth Myers]

Okay, that's a good.

[Leslie Bibb]

I like to learn some fun facts about the place I'm going.

[Seth Myers]

Yeah.

[Josh Myers]

If you're thinking in a museum, if there's like an audio guide, it's just like, it's just gonna make everything more interesting.

[Leslie Bibb]

Yes.

[Josh Myers]

If you're against that, then just be.

[Leslie Bibb]

Against learning about art.

[Josh Myers]

Yeah.

[Leslie Bibb]

Feel free.

[Josh Myers]

What is your favorite means of transportation?

[Leslie Bibb]

My feet.

[Josh Myers]

If you could take a vacation with any family, alive or dead, real or fictional, other than your own family, what family would you like to take a vacation with?

[Leslie Bibb]

Guys, why is Robert De Niro the only thing. It's the first thing I popped into my.

[Seth Myers]

It's a fantastic answer.

[Leslie Bibb]

That's what.

[Josh Myers]

We haven't gotten it.

[Seth Myers]

We haven't gotten it.

[Leslie Bibb]

That's what just popped into my head. Robert De Niro. Great.

[Josh Myers]

Great. I mean, spending a few days with Bob just on vacation. On vacation.

[Leslie Bibb]

By the way, very good parent. Very good parent.

[Seth Myers]

Yep. That's it. That's where you want to go on vacation with good parents, not bad ones.

[Leslie Bibb]

Yeah. And who can talk about Main street and like Deer Hunter? Please.

[Josh Myers]

If you had to be stranded on a desert island with one member of your family, who would it be?

[Leslie Bibb]

My dad had.

[Josh Myers]

That's great. You are from Lingston. Virginia is your hometown. If you had were the board of tourism trying to get more families to come take vacations in Livingston, what would you tell them are some highlights?

[Leslie Bibb]

Well, I have to tell you, Lin is kind of a tourist destination now. It was like a one horse town when I was growing up, and we had, like, an iga, and that was it. And the chicken coop. And now I just went back with Kim Bib, and we. Because she lives in South Carolina, and we, like, she'll take care of our dog if Sam and I are away, like, shooting in Thailand or someplace where you can't take your dog. And we always stop in Virginia and see my Aunt Ruby and my cousin Pauline. There's, like, microbreweries and whiskey distilleries.

[Seth Myers]

Oh, wow.

[Leslie Bibb]

And there's vineyards and the main drag of Livingston, which has all these great old buildings. All these young hipsters and cool kids have, like, come in and are buying them and restoring them. So, like, the library was this old church, and somebody bought it and completely restored it. And it was so cool. It's so cool to see a town that felt forgotten, like, growing up like nobody. And now suddenly it's very, very cool and so awesome. Go for the whiskey and the wine and the microbreweries and the antiquing and stay for the hospitality.

[Seth Myers]

Great, great. Great answer.

[Leslie Bibb]

There you go. And maybe some skiing at Wintergreen.

[Seth Myers]

Yeah.

[Josh Myers]

And then Seth has our final questions.

[Leslie Bibb]

But.

[Seth Myers]

But you've answered it. The question was it was a. Have you been to the Grand Canyon? We know the answer.

[Leslie Bibb]

Yes.

[Seth Myers]

And the follow up was, was it worth it? And I feel like we know the answer.

[Leslie Bibb]

By the way, guys, I've been to the Grand Canyon twice, because I love.

[Seth Myers]

This was the second time not worth it.

[Leslie Bibb]

Second time was really. I think the second time. I think I. My mom's trip was the second time I went. The first time I.

[Seth Myers]

So you did a. You did a pre trip?

[Leslie Bibb]

I did a pre trip. I did. I shot a bounce commercial when I was living in New York and I was studying acting, and I got a bounce commercial. And because they have to try to. They don't fake it. So they take you to a place where it's very, like, a dry. So we shot it in, like, Arizona.

[Seth Myers]

Yeah.

[Leslie Bibb]

And I was the girl that had the bounce clothes, and the other girl didn't. So you need it, whatever. So that the bounce actually works when you're shooting it so they're not lying to the consumer. And I remember this other girl who was in the commercial. I was like, hey, you want to do a road trip? Let's go to the Grand Canyon. She was like, okay. And so we went to the Grand Canyon. And I was like, hey, you ever been in a helicopter? Should we take a helicopter tour? She was like, okay.

[Seth Myers]

And you were spending that Bounce money as fast as it came in.

[Leslie Bibb]

I think you had per diem. I just. I'm.

[Seth Myers]

Yes.

[Leslie Bibb]

Listen. This girl had a bank account when she was five years old and always had a piggy bank. And I was always, like, saving my clams so you could go take a helicopter ride into the Grand Canyon. That's the one thing my mom wouldn't do. I was like, mama, let's take a helicopter ride. And she's like, no way. No way, Leslie Louise. Which I wish she had, because she would have gone bananas, because that was extraordinary.

[Seth Myers]

All right, well, this has been the best.

[Leslie Bibb]

Can I ask you, why do you pick the Grand Canyon?

[Seth Myers]

Because it's like the iconic American family trip destination.

[Josh Myers]

And it's. And it's really half. And half are, like, either been there and didn't really like it, or people haven't been and they are not interested or interested.

[Seth Myers]

Like.

[Josh Myers]

Like, it's a real kind of clean split.

[Leslie Bibb]

Wait, how could you go to the Grand Canyon and not.

[Josh Myers]

Cause you could be like, seth, you.

[Leslie Bibb]

Don'T like the Grand Canyon?

[Seth Myers]

No. And, you know, we had a guest on who said they went on a trip to the Grand Canyon and they had to lie about having liked it. It was your mom.

[Narrator/Poet]

Liar.

[Leslie Bibb]

She loved it.

[Seth Myers]

Like, I felt so bad.

[Leslie Bibb]

Oh, my God.

[Seth Myers]

I can't believe Betty Bib. Betty Bib lied.

[Leslie Bibb]

Have you ever cheated?

[Seth Myers]

Not.

[Leslie Bibb]

Betty Bibb did not lie. She would also, like. Wait, can I ask you, have you ever been. You know, one place I want to go, I want to see those. Mount Rushmore. Have you ever been there?

[Josh Myers]

No, no, never been there. But I would like to see that as well. I always hear it's underwhelming, that it's smaller than you think it's going to be.

[Leslie Bibb]

Ooh, really?

[Josh Myers]

But then there's also. They've been working on. There's like a Crazy Horse, I believe, up there that is supposed to be very impressive, but it's taken years and years and years and years, and it's still not done.

[Leslie Bibb]

Yeah, it's not an easy. Also. It's a. It's a. Feels more remote than going to the Great.

[Josh Myers]

But the Badlands, I hear, are great, which is also, like, right there.

[Seth Myers]

So the Crazy Horse in Vegas has done pa. Yeah.

[Leslie Bibb]

That you can go to. That's good.

[Josh Myers]

Yeah. But I don't know if I'm. I don't know if I'm enough of a gentleman.

[Leslie Bibb]

Seth, that's why you've had the same job, because you're so funny, and that's why you don't get fired like Josh. Like Josh gets laid off. Seth gets to rub it in our unscabbed noses. That one job.

[Seth Myers]

One job, Myers.

[Leslie Bibb]

That's it. Thank you guys for having me. I appreciate it. Thanks.

[Seth Myers]

We love you.

[Josh Myers]

Thank you. Leslie, this is.

[Leslie Bibb]

Bye, guys. Thank you.

[Josh Myers]

You're the best.

[Seth Myers]

Thank you.

[Leslie Bibb]

Thanks.

[Josh Myers]

Bye now.

[Leslie Bibb]

Bye, guys.

[Seth Myers]

Bye.

[Narrator/Poet]

Leslie, she learned to sneak around. She crawl and creep. She runs so elite Respect her sneak technique As a child, Leslie learned how to sneak Saw Terry's rat tail get eaten up by bleach Wanted to do things in her own way like shave her eyebrows with a razor blade her older sisters, they had a all the power Hawk tied her up, tossed her in the shower but she broke out. Her sister said, our shit. You can listen to us talk from inside our closet. Break out her interestbeaked sisters they were so neat. Listen but could not speak. No doubt she'd sneak a peek. In 8th grade thought a trip that she could take was to Key Largo. Over her spring break, her mom and Aunt Shelby and Aunt Shelby's sister too went down to Florida to see what they could do. Leslie snuck out thought she was pretty smart Right out the front door and hopped in a golf cart. But when she got home, her mama was right there. The party's over. Shelby's sister did declare Sneak out, don't make a peep party, but be discreet. Sneak back, pretend to sleep Trouble. But not so discreet. Suggested a cross country road trip with her mom with stops in Graceland, Vegas and the Grand Canyon. Mom heard the list and said, my dear Leslie, none of those places sound very good to me. In Vegas, her mom loved to play those slot machines didn't worry about flight attendants and proteins. In Graceland, you could feel Elvis soul. And the Grand Canyon was more than just a whole big hole. Don't take a leap long drive at least a week mom time was such a treat. Road trip memories to keep.
