Regina Hall on Good Hang with Amy Poehler
The Hang, in Short
Andrew Rannells confesses to Amy that he literally gets nervous about whether to talk to her at parties, strategizing the perfect "get in, get out" approach at fancy events. Amy's response? She's relieved, since she has massive social anxiety despite appearances. It's a perfect meta moment before they even get to Regina Hall. Andrew shares his Jessica Lange party hack (just be her tall gatekeeper all night) and praises Regina's effortless cool at industry events. He gushes about working with her on Black Monday for three years, how she balanced Don Cheadle's wacky energy while anchoring everything with heart. The whole vibe is Andrew hyping Regina before she comes on to talk about her Paul Thomas Anderson film One Battle After Another, her insane range, hosting awards shows, and the difference between phobias and phonas. Whatever those are.
