Elizabeth Banks

Actress Elizabeth Banks feels cautiously optimistic about being Conan O’Brien’s friend.

Elizabeth sits down with Conan to chat about standing up to her childhood bullies, communion, and mixing horror and comedy in her new film Cocaine Bear. Plus, a Neil Diamond song takes Conan on a trip down a memory lane of misheard lyrics.

what a hoot!

I have a total crush on Elizabeth Banks. Listening to her was almost as good as watching her. cocaine bear was very funny. I was hoping she might talk a little bit about working with Margo Martindale, but the section on Ray Liotta was very heartwarming.

By the way, there is a word for misshearing lyrics in a song. They’re called mondegreens. The classic cexample is Jimi Hendrix ‘s ‘excuse me, while I kiss the sky’ being heard, as ‘excuse me while I kiss this guy.’
