It is the second most watched
show
in Netflix history. People can't get enough of that. Jenna Ortega was on our show
, and she's phenomenal. And you go, "Oh my God, who is this kid?" And then there's this scene, I'm like, "Wow! Who is this kid? Oh my gosh. Look at these talented actors." I mean, you're phenomenal. Did you know about "The Addams Family" going into this, that you were -- -I'd watched '90s movies growing up, but I didn't know it was, like, a TV show

Wednesday
." -I'm not a good Wednesday
.-You're not a good Wednesday
. -No. -Could you play on Wednesday
? Not at all? I mean, do you have any Wednesday
in you or are you just positive? -I'm -- Wednesday
doesn't come naturally to me. Enid does. And I think Jenna did such an impeccable job with Wednesday
that if she even tried, it would just be a disgrace. -Not!![emma myers attended werewolf bootcamp to prepare for her role in wednesday extended tonight show]()
You're so funny. -It wouldn't be-- -But you're an optimist? You're a... -Yes, I'm an optimist. I think that's one of the only things I have in common with Enid is that I'm an optimist. I don't like to wear colored clothes. No, I'm not an extrovert. I'm an introvert. - Really? - Yes. -But what you just said, I... It's very interesting, because I would think that would be on
Wednesday
. "You'd think so, but I just can't make it." -Yes, I know. No, I'm a disgrace. I mean, I really am. I'm a total disgrace. But then you turn into a werewolf
. -Uh Huh.-Yes.Was there
werewolf
training? "Mm-hmm." -I'm being serious. -No, I'm serious too. -This is how they will train---Oh yes. -Yes. And you have to... -Yeah, the whole thing. We did this werewolf
training camp once, because there's Episode 6, where the parents come and the whole family comes. He had four or five brothers, and they really had to get into the werewolf
spirit. So they asked me to go in and do, you know, a werewolf
boot camp, and I was like, "Okay, what does this mean?" -Werewolf
training camp. So, that's... -Yeah, it's like... -Professionally, do people do this for a living? -They like ---Werewolves training camp. -I have never done so much parkour in my life.It was me, like...- I'm assuming. -...running across the ground on all fours, jumping on things.
