And if that doesn't earn enough money, they're going to introduce a swear jar in Brooklyn. Meanwhile, for some vehicles, the toll is over $20. Or if you've got $20, you could just walk across the bridge and buy a brand new Nissan Leaf. Some news from Washington.

[Joe Manganiello]

[Charli D'Amelio]

[Joe Manganiello]

[Charli D'Amelio]

Probably not gonna let me do it in Baltimore this weekend, though.

[Joe Manganiello]

Yeah, no, probably not there. Duh. And how's Bubbles doing?

[Charli D'Amelio]

Bubbles is great. My dog Bubbles, she went to St. Vincent and the Grenadines as well.

[Joe Manganiello]

Does Bubbles now get recognized? Almost more than you? Because I feel like she's. She's been on the show here before, she's the most cutest chihuahua and she's.

[Charli D'Amelio]

Like got more stamps on her passport than most people do in their entire life.

[Joe Manganiello]

Yeah, she travels with you. Yeah.

[Charli D'Amelio]

So we. Last year I shot a comedy with Vince Vaughn where he and I played best friends. Love Vince Vaughn in this movie called Nonna's, which is about a restaurant in Staten island where the owner's mother passed away. And in honor of her, he went and hired Italian grandmas to cook your food. It's a real restaurant. You can go there. It's called Enoteca Maria. It's out in Staten Island. And so there's. Vince played him, and I played the best friend who actually exists in real life. So we went and met them and ate at the restaurant. Now they have a Puerto Rican grandma, there's a Japanese grandma, all sorts of other grandmas. Yeah. And so Vince and I were. We were shooting and we were staying in Hoboken. And on Sunday, everybody in Hoboken's out day drinking. So we were walking down, you know, the main drag there, and there was a bar and a table full of people drinking, and it's Vince Vaughn and me and this table full of people scream, hey, Bubbles.

[Joe Manganiello]

Bubbles.

[Charli D'Amelio]

It's like Vince and I in there.

[Joe Manganiello]

Yelling, yeah, Bubbles the dog. I told you. I knew it. She's got something.

[Jimmy Fallon]

She does.

[Charli D'Amelio]

And you know, it's funny because, you know, I was friends with Paul Rubens.

[Joe Manganiello]

Pee Wee Herman, my all time favorite, one of my idols.

[Charli D'Amelio]

Yeah.

[Joe Manganiello]

By the way, I just showed my kids your movie. It was a Pee Wee's holiday.

[Charli D'Amelio]

Pee Wee's big holiday.

[Joe Manganiello]

Big holiday. It holds up. It's one of the funniest movies. My kids loved it. The whole idea is Pee Wee's going to your birthday.

[Charli D'Amelio]

To my birthday party. Yes, yes.

[Joe Manganiello]

Favorite movie. It's a fantastic film.

[Charli D'Amelio]

And I play Pee Wee's best friend named Joe Manganiello. And I mean, imagine like Pee Wee Herman called me and was like, I want you to play my best friend in Pee Wee's comeback movie. It was like, what are you talking about? Yeah, but Paul used to have this super ugly hat that he would wear in public so that people would leave him alone. They'd notice this ugly hat, and by the time they realized, oh, that's Pee Wee Herman, he was gone.

[Joe Manganiello]

Oh, interesting.

[Charli D'Amelio]

So Bubbles is kind of like my ugly bubbles.

[Joe Manganiello]

Plug your ears. Yeah. You shouldn't be hearing that. Yeah. I want to talk about Deal or no Deal Island. You know, I love reality game shows and this is such A great mix. It's Deal or no Deal, but it's also kind of survivory. It's everything. Season one was awesome. But then in this trailer that I saw today, they said, you're going to make some history this year. Something maybe the largest prize in TV history.

[Charli D'Amelio]

So the person that wins this season, we give away the biggest prize in television history. In the history of television. And listen, like, I felt disingenuous during season one because we have this final case that the final contestant gets to play for. And in season one, it was almost $14 million. So we advertised you can win up to 14 million, but in order to.

[Joe Manganiello]

Win that case, it's crazy.

[Charli D'Amelio]

You have to gamble. You have to say no to every single other deal the entire game while picking every single other case off the board except for that one. So it's the most brazenly psycho gambling of money.

[Joe Manganiello]

Yeah.

[Charli D'Amelio]

Mixed with the luckiest person you've ever seen in your life. And I thought, this is not right. Like, I shouldn't be saying this because what psycho is ever going to. We found that psycho this year. I mean, like, I couldn't believe it was three in the morning. I'm in the jungle. I'm red in the eyes, sweating through my suit, like shaking because this person.

[Joe Manganiello]

Yeah. And you're like, keeps no dealing. And you go, stop, stop. You have a lot of money right now.

[Charli D'Amelio]

The insurance people were there. They were freaking out.

[Joe Manganiello]

No, NBC was freaking out.

[Charli D'Amelio]

Executives were freaking out because they picked the WR case. Then we're giving away five bucks and it's nothing.

[Joe Manganiello]

Well, that's good for NBC. They great. Hey, you won. You won five bucks. Get out of here.

[Charli D'Amelio]

So you keep hearing this screaming like you would hear no deal. And then you just hear through the jungle, like off in the distance, and.

[Joe Manganiello]

We'Re like, they count. No.

[Jimmy Fallon]

No.

[Charli D'Amelio]

It was the most insane thing I've, I've ever seen. I, I don't, I don't know that I'm ever going to see anything like that again. And, and it's, it's on film.

[Joe Manganiello]

Yes.

[Charli D'Amelio]

And, and we're kind. We're giving that secret away.

[Joe Manganiello]

Yep.

[Charli D'Amelio]

But you just have to watch the season. It's, it's, it's the craziest thing you'll ever see.

[Joe Manganiello]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Fallon]

I love it.

[Joe Manganiello]

I mean, because Broadway is intense. I mean.

[D]

Oh, yeah.

[Joe Manganiello]

I mean, it's kind of insane. We have a lot of great Broadway stars coming on the show. And I go, I don't know how they do it.

[D]

It is. It is one of the most amazing and one of the hardest things that I've done. You push your body and you do things that you think. Think you can't do, but you're surrounded by so much love. And we love the show. And you perform because you don't know if it's someone's first Broadway show or the only Broadway show they're ever going to go to.

No.

[Joe Manganiello]

Did you guess it? Number one?

[Joe Manganiello]

What? You're like, wait, what? That's real? Yeah. That's so rad.

[D]

Insane. One of the. Cool.

[Joe Manganiello]

And I saw that last week. You did this trend that people are doing now where you try to get your friends to guess what the different phrases that you all say around each other Mean.

[D]

Yes.

[Joe Manganiello]

And so I get that I don't really say that many different crazy phrases, but you do, and your friends do. I thought maybe we could run through a couple of these phrases and you could explain to me what it means.

[D]

Of course.

[Joe Manganiello]

All right, so if you and your friends say, that's cake.

[D]

Okay. I thought of this earlier.

Let's be biad. That is when we're all hanging out and we just. Everyone decides to order from a different restaurant, and we just put it all out on the table, and everyone eats their own. We get from, like, five. The last one we did, we had, like, Wingstop five guys, pizza, pasta, and we just all eat from everything. Let's be biad.

Congratulations again. You're on Broadway. I mean, that's a massive deal.

It is.

[Joe Manganiello]

You've been a dancer your whole life. Now you're on Broadway. Charli, what's it feel like? What was it like when you found out you got this role?

[D]

Oh, my goodness. I got the phone. I got a phone call, a FaceTime call from my agents, and my camera was off because I looked insane. They were like, I think you're gonna want to turn your camera on. And I was like, okay. So I did, and they said, you booked Angelia. And I immediately burst into tears, and I was like, home alone. I didn't know what to do, so I was just pac around my mouth.

[Joe Manganiello]

Like, girlies, check in. Girlies, check in. Let's go.

[D]

I needed that, and I was just so proud and nervous, but so excited. This is the dream. Everyone who loves their creative outlet, whether it's singing, dancing, acting, this is what you work for. And it is such an honor to be a part of it. And I'm having the time of my life.
