Jamie Lee Curtis interrupts Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers' red carpet interview

During a red carpet interview with Vulture, Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers were asked to share a pop culture quote that had been stuck in their heads.

“What’s my line?” Matt mused before responding, “You know what just jumped to my head? Legally Blonde. Elle Woods. ‘What, like, it’s hard?’”

Bowen followed up with his pick: “Mine is gonna be Julia Roberts in Erin Brockovich,” and launched into a lively impression of the actress’s underrated line, “I’m not talking to you, b***h!”

The fun was briefly interrupted when Jamie Lee Curtis, overhearing the impression from across the carpet, paused her own interview and walked over. She motioned for them to quiet down, seemingly shushing them with a stern "Whoa." 

Matt quickly tried to explain, “We’re quoting Julia Roberts!” But Jamie, still gesturing to lower the volume, responded, “Listen, bring the whole f**king thing down.”

Bowen quipped, “You’re gonna hate the show then,” as Matt added with a laugh, “We’ll sit you in the back.”
