00:00Three, two, one, and go.
00:02Oh, no.
00:03Ooh, you survived, honey.
00:05Come back here.
00:06Mm, yes.
00:08Hi, everyone, I'm Jonathan Van Ness,
00:10and I'm playing Pop Quiz with Marie Claire.
00:16Ooh, what is the best gift you've received?
00:20Oh, my God.
00:21The best gift I've ever received was from my mom
00:24and my great-grandma.
00:25My great-grandma, she would doodle,
00:27and she made this one really cool doodle
00:29and gave it to my mom.
00:30The doodle was of a lady.
00:32And so I always loved it
00:33and always thought it was really cute.
00:34My mom was like,
00:35I'm never giving it to you, it's my favorite thing.
00:37So my mom had taped her head on
00:38because her head was falling off.
00:39And then for my birthday last year,
00:41my mom gave it to me.
00:42Next question.
00:43Oh, my gosh, that's so pretty over there, look.
00:46Last text I sent to my husband,
00:49probably about our dog or one of our cats,
00:54which is one of seven possibilities
00:56because we have two dogs and five cats.
00:59Cute, liked it.
01:00Ugh, I was just minding my own business this one day
01:02and then, ugh!
01:03Word your friends would use to describe you.
01:07So I would hope that the official answer
01:09would be hilarious,
01:11but I bet the actual answer would be nightmare or gorgeous.
01:16Three, two, one, and go.
01:19Oh, no.
01:20You survived, honey.
01:21Come back here.
01:23Have you ever had a more dramatic balloon pop
01:25with Marie Claire?
01:27Favorite couch snack, wow.
01:29I feel like the snacks at my house
01:30are about to have a fight.
01:35I love mini powdered donuts.
01:40I love mini powdered donuts.
01:42You know, it's like Michelle Obama says,
01:45when they go low, we go high.
01:48Last song you got stuck in your head.
01:49Okay, this is a great question
01:50because it literally just happened this morning.
01:52It was, turn it up, turn it up, turn it upside down,
01:56hear percussion, na, na, na, na, na.
01:59It was that.
02:01What song is that?
02:01Well, obviously, it was Gloria Estefan,
02:05Turn the Beat Around.
02:06To hear percussion.
02:09It was just like that.
02:10I'm going this way.
02:12I'm going, no, I'm not, I'm not.
02:16You never know which way I'm gonna go, honey.
02:19Word that makes you cringe.
02:21Actually, bangs.
02:24Bangs instead of fringe.
02:27Bangs, yeah.
02:30Call it fringe, it's much chicer.
02:32Fringe is Emily in Paris
02:35and bangs is like supermarket sweep,
02:38but I guess it's supermarket sweep
02:40in the sense like the old version
02:42where there's like a lot of like,
02:44you know, puffy 80s bangs.
02:48Was that fun?
02:51Wow.
02:52I feel drunk with power when I do this.
02:54Last book you read.
02:56Not to be dumb, but it was my own
02:59because I just recorded my audio book,
03:01which is called Love That Story
03:02and it's coming out in April
03:04and I'm really excited about it.
03:05And wha!
03:07Are you gonna be okay?
03:08Is your nervous system gonna be okay from all these pops?
03:11How did I make my first dollar?
03:14My auntie was a lawyer
03:16and she, and in the early days of the internet,
03:18she was looking for cases to brief
03:21for her law class that she was teaching.
03:23So I would like use the internet
03:26to like find different cases out of Illinois
03:28to like write for her law class.
03:29And then I called myself a paralegal,
03:31but really I was 11.
03:32And that was the first dollar I made.
03:37I did it.
03:38Chocolate or cheese?
03:39Both.
03:40Here's the thing, as a non-binary person,
03:42I find this question offensive, okay?
03:45I'm gonna eat both.
03:46Ah!
03:47Wow.
03:48Worked up a sweat on that one.
03:51That almost even scared me.
03:53It was so good.
03:53What should every woman try at least once in her life?
03:58Not listening to someone's advice.
04:01I say, go for it.
04:02Live your life.
04:03Live your truth.
04:04Ah!
04:05This has been so much fun.
04:07Can I just say that?
04:08Oh my God.
04:09Guess what question this is.
04:11Name a movie that makes you cry.
04:13Forrest Gump.
04:14What doesn't make me cry about Forrest Gump?
04:19Oh, what can you not miss on TV slash streamer?
04:22Getting Curious with Jonathan Van Ness.
04:24I'll tell you that much.
04:25Watch it.
04:26And I think if you do watch it,
04:27you won't even regret it.
04:28You're gonna have so much fun.
04:28Ah!
04:29I hope that was as good for you as it was for me.
04:31That was so much from Marie Claire.
04:32I love Playing Pop Quiz.
04:34I also love it when you guys like get Netflix
04:37and then watch the shows that I do on there.
04:39So, ah!
04:41Wow, Marie Claire.
