Emma stone first ever late-night show interview (Carson Daly’s talk show)

Great to have you here. You look fantastic. Thank you. That was a lightning fast trip to the chair you just made there. Was it really? You just went right... Most guests are like camels. They kind of like... Yeah, they just sort of trot. They spit everywhere. You're excited to be here, which I love, of course. I'm very. I'm nervous. Why? This is my first talk show ever. This show's barely on the air. You know, forever. First show. Yeah. Well, it can only get better, Emma. Oh, come on. It is good to have you here. It feels good to be here. Wait, you're from Scottsdale, Arizona? I'm from Scottsdale, yeah. I love that area because I'm a big golfer and there's so much great golf there. I know. There is. Actually, my parents live on a golf course out there. Right. The 16th Hole. What course do they... Do you know? It's the Camelback Golf Course. Right. And that's a great golf course? Yeah. Did you grow up there? Yeah. I grew up in Scottsdale, but we, like, you know, we moved to the golf... Yeah. Pretty much after I was kind of out and about. You have to play golf in Scottsdale. You don't play or do you? You don't have to. You don't have to because... Because I don't. It's not that bad, you know. So I... You don't. But, like, I used to sneak out to the golf course, like, late at night with my friends. Sure. Because it's like, why not? Yeah. There's a bunch of grass in the backyard. Yeah. So I would, like, hit balls at the driving range. Sure. But it was so dark that I had no idea where the balls went. So I could be like... You could be great. I could be great. And I have no idea. You have no idea. You could be a child prodigy. I might be. You could be Emma Woods and you wouldn't know because it's pitch black out there. No. I know. It's so sad. We are going to play golf the minute this interview is done. We are? Where? I don't... Right out there. There's a great golf course. Oh, my God. It's beautiful out there. Yeah. Toluca Lake. Lakeside. Right there. It's great. It's fabulous. Yeah. Well, all right. So when did you move to L.A. then from Arizona? So I moved, actually, when I was 15. Right. Which was based on, like, a really weird revelation that I had. Tell me about that. In sixth period social studies. All right. Or history. The English people. People are always like, what's social studies? You're there from England. I know, like, three English people. So really just three people asking about social studies. Right. So I was in the middle of sixth period and basically I... In high school. You're daydreaming like we all do. I was 14 at the time. Okay. I'm daydreaming and I'm not really paying attention. And all of a sudden I'm like, can I go to the bathroom? And my teacher was like, all right. And I was shocked into... I had to move to Hollywood. I was like, I have to. I have to. I'm 14 and I have to go. That was the moment right there. That was the moment. It was like this, like, jolt. And I was like, this is so... It was like emotional stigmata. You just knew right away. Wow. It just came out of, like, nowhere. And I was like, oh, my God. I have to go, you know? And so... Wow. So I, like, had to go. I don't know why. So I was like... So I went home and I made this PowerPoint presentation for my parents. What? I made a... You made... At 14? You know how to make PowerPoint? No, I used to make, like, a lot of websites when I was a kid. So I was like... Wow. I was, like, really, like... That was, like, my thing. I loved... I was, like, really big with HTML. That was your thing when you were 14? You know what my thing was when I was 14? Eating dirt. That's what I like to do. I like to just eat dirt. That was my thing. Yeah, yeah. It's enjoyable, though. It's fun. I'm 34, Emma. There's a big difference. Dirt was hot at the time. You made a PowerPoint for your parents. I made a PowerPoint. To sell them on the idea. I was like, all right, let's put this together. What was in it? Like, I'm gonna use my... Any business savvy I have and just put this together. So I had... I was really proud of myself, because I picked the song Hollywood by Madonna, and I figured out how to get it into the PowerPoint. Right. It was just, like, a really good deal. I was like, oh, my God. Nobody's ever heard, like, a cool song in a PowerPoint. Right. No, I haven't to this day. Which they probably have, but... Yeah, or maybe they haven't. I have no idea. Wait. So, Emma, you have Madonna. You've got this PowerPoint. Right. You sit your parents down, and this is your ploy to get them to allow you, at age 14 or 15, to move to Los Angeles... To move to Los Angeles. ...to act. And what was the PowerPoint based on? What did you say? What was convincing? Well, basically, I think the part that convinced them was I had this thing called the five C's. What was the five C's? It was like, you know, because I was like, ooh, you know, alliteration. They'll love that. Whatever. So I made the five C's. So number one was cool parents. It's like, draw them in, right? Right. So there was cool parents, and then there was Chrissy, who was a family friend of ours who, like, could come out with me, kind of like a nanny. Right. Who could, you know, switch off with my mom. So it's like, you guys are cool. You'll let me roll. You guys are cool. Then there's Chrissy. She'll look after me. And then there was, let's see, there was correspondence courses, because I'd have to be homeschooled, obviously, at like 14 to leave and go to LA. Right. And then, what was the fourth C? What was the fourth C? The fourth C was... Well, I'm going to do Carson's show one day. Carson. Okay, so... One day. So, Carson. Carson Daly. Wow. So that was awesome. Okay, so we have to make up a fifth one, because I'm not good at alliteration. No, no, no. I have the fifth one. The fifth one... I kid you not. The fifth one... Chocolate rain. No, it was none of that. It was none of that. What was the other one? It wasn't chocolate rain. It was God. God starts with a G. Yeah, but my whole point was, it's God, he can like start with whatever he wants. Oh, nice. I like that. Yeah. And he's like, how do you argue that? Right? So you sold them on this works? I was like... So they were like... And I cried a lot. I was like, I have to go and I don't know why. And it's like, it's tearing me apart. And they were like, all right. All right. Let's do this. And they were like, you can come out for pilot season and give it a go. And yeah, it happened. And you came out and it all worked out, but you didn't get a job right away. I didn't get a job right away. I had to work like a little day job. What was the day job? At age 15. I worked at this place called Three Dog Bakery. Has anybody heard of it? What is it? It's a bakery for... It's a bakery for dogs. Really? Only in LA do they have that. No, they have it all over the country. They do? Yeah. Who goes there? Who gets their dogs? Are the goods edible for humans? They are actually. They're edible for humans. And don't ask me who goes there, because I have... No, I don't want names. I mean, what type of human being goes there? No, I don't mean names. I mean, like, I know. I know. And, you know, some interesting people go there to buy, like, cakes for their dogs. But, like, there was, like... I mean, no offense if you've ever bought a cake for your dog. That's awesome. But, like... Do you mean the cakes were made with, like... Some people, you know? Not you guys. But, no, but, like, the cakes are made out of, like, human edible situations. You know, like, honey and wheat and, you know, things that won't make a dog sick. It's, like, undercooked. And I got, like, a scathing phone call once when I was working there that the dog's cake was undercooked. And I was like, well, bring it back and we'll give you a refund. And she was like, well, he ate it. And I was like, well, it's a dog. I know. What's the problem? I would have moved back to Arizona right there. Yeah. Well, what the hell. A few Puppy Pastries Lady and look at you later and now you're in a Judd Apatow movie, Superbad. And that's going to be great, right? I'm pretty excited. Have you met Judd before? I mentioned he's at Talladega Nights, 40 Old Virgin, Knocked Up. I had him in... Every great film. Yeah, I know. It's amazing. I hadn't actually met him before I went in to read from Superbad. And then I met him and it was like a whirlwind past that. And we made a movie and it was, yeah, it was crazy. Nice. Let's take a look at Emma in action here from Superbad. Seth. Are you crying? No, I just have something in both my eyes. I don't cry. That's funny. You look like you're right. So, this is my last chance. Your last chance to do what? To make you my girlfriend for the summer. You're like the coolest person that's ever talked to me. Forget with me. Look at you. Look at me. Seth. Come on, you didn't blow it. I think maybe...
