Who is my celebrity crush?

Nobody say. I already know.

I think it's Anne Hathaway and Zendaya.

Mine was Anne Hathaway. Jack Harlow.

I know that Lee's a huge Twilight fan

so I feel like I have to say Robert Pattinson.

Robby P. Zendaya and Ramona Young.

What? Ah.

[light music]

Hi, I'm Darren Barnett. And I'm Jaren Lewison.

Hey, I'm Megan Suri.

I'm Lee Rodriguez. Ramona Young.

And I'm Maitreyi Ramakrishnan

and we are the cast of Never Have I Ever.

Today, we will be testing how well we know each other

with Vanity Fair.

In the hotseat, so I'm gonna go first.

[light music]

Which Harry Potter character do I most identify with?

Oh. Hermione.

Hermione Granger. Hermione Granger.

Guys we're supposed to let me write it down

and you guys write or whatever.

No, that's too obvious. Why don't you just

write it down? It's just too obvious.

Okay, Hermione Granger. [bell dings]

[Darren] Just write down Hermione Granger.

Good job, guys.

Well, that's great, yeah, okay, fine, next question.

So funny, this one's not as easy.

Where-- Hermione Granger.

[all laughing] It's a where question.

Where did I do my audition for Never Have I Ever?

It's either at your house with Shaharah

or Shaharah's house?

I either think it was at your high school

with Shaharah or--

I love that you guys all know Shaharah's name.

That makes me really happy. Hey, Shaharah.

Hey, Shaharah. Hi.

I didn't but now I do.

I am also confused between those two

'cause I remember you were taking a nap and then

Shaharah hit you up and you were like,

Okay, let's do this, and it was last minute.

To, like, hang out. To hang out.

You know what?

If you're hanging out,

I'm gonna say it's at Shaharah's house.

But they could also hang out at school.

Why would anyone do that? I feel like it was

definitely at your high school, if I remember correctly.

I'm gonna try to go one step further

and say that it was at the library

at the high school with Shaharah.

Jaren Lewison got it right. [bell dings]

It's the community center library,

Meadowvale Community Centre Library.

Dang.

Gimme the points. I had that.

He got the point, he got the point.

I had that. You said my

or Shaharah's house.

You are brown, we have two big brown families.

The boom picked it up. Where would that happen?

The boom picked it up.

I said library afterwards.

I was like, The library. Okay.

Let's play that back. Please do.

Check the replay. Play it back.

Why would anyone do that? I feel like it was

definitely at your high school

if I remember correctly. The library?

Library. [bell dings]

I'll go next. Okay.

Dang.

If I wasn't an actor, what would I do for a profession?

Okay, I got this. Wait,

let him write it down, let him write it down.

That was confident. I got this in the bag.

Okay, then go first.

You're so confident-- Yeah, you can go first.

Right now. Well, wait,

let him write it down. Don't look at

what he's writing. I'm not!

We have a high angle. It's gonna be the

biggest L I take if this is not correct.

Can you? All right,

I want to know what you have to say

more than his answer. [Megan laughs]

That's a lot of words. I know.

Now I'm like, uh.

I hope I'm right.

Like a musical artist?

Oh, I like that. So it's not that.

She's wrong though. Can I go next?

Can I go next?

I'm going with the dream job,

which is being a part of the NBA and playing basketball.

Oh, that'd be so sick.

[Maitreyi] I am going with the dream job.

I'm gonna go with you were gonna use your degree

and something business or entrepreneurial.

That's what I was gonna say.

Darren has a degree in business,

so I'm gonna say like a financial analyst

or something like that. International relations,

I think. I was gonna say a rapper.

Oh, yeah, can I change it to a rapper?

No, wait, but that's not my final answer.

Rapper or real estate agent.

I'm gonna say a rapper. I like it.

Okay. My answer is

I would try to be an actor. Oh my god!

Oh my god. Come on.

So rigged, Darren! Boo!

It is rigged, it is rigged. Darren, what?!

I'm sorry-- Are you joking right now?

That's part of the reason I became an actor

is 'cause I want to do every profession.

[Jaren] Kind of cheating, but whatever.

Are you serious? It's definitely cheating.

So cheating. Okay, honestly--

All of our answers would be valid.

They were all valid, but I think the closest second is

I would probably want to be a music artist.

Yes! [bell dings]

Let's go! Megan,

you don't get the point. What?!

I just wanted your reaction,

I'm kidding. Okay.

I was like-- Which pop star

did I once appear on stage with?

What? What?!

Taylor Swift. No.

I don't know, I don't know. Lil Nas.

Olivia Rodrigo.

The Chainsmokers? Huh, that's interesting.

I literally have no idea.

I just know Cannon's invited you to a concert.

All right, I can't believe none of you you know this.

It's on my Instagram.

Britney Spears with a leash.

Okay, what? [buzzer beeps]

Dude, I almost said Britney. What?!

I literally almost said Britney.

I forgot about that. What do you mean

with a leash? She had me on a leash

and was walking me and was whipping me

in my butt as she walked me

and then I had to dance with her after.

Yeah, it was a whole thing.

I'm gonna go to your Instagram right after this.

I'll send you some links. Yes!

Please do. Wow.

That's iconic. Anyways, who's next?

[light music] Okay, all right.

What martial art am I trained in?

Easy. Should I write

a different answer that you guys don't know?

No. Preferably not.

I think I know that one too. We need the points.

Yeah, I'd like a point, I'd like a win.

But we all know it, so do we get a group point?

All right-- Why don't you guys--

Let's say it on three. One, two, three.

[All] Jiu-jitsu.

That's correct. [bell dinging]

She's a badass. BJJ.

Brazilian jiu-jitsu. What do I do

when I want to get my crush's attention?

Avoid eye contact, be shy,

and don't do anything about it.

Pretend they don't exist.

Pretend you don't exist.

Pretend that it never happened.

Yeah. Move on with life

and deny everything. Mm-hm.

Act like you don't actually like them

even though you do and pretend like you totally don't,

it's not a big deal. Stalk their Spotify playlist

and pretend like you're into their music.

Um, all of the above.

Actually, everyone's correct.

I wrote deny and secretly stalk them and act like I don't.

Wow. Yay!

There you go. Group point.

Wow. That's family.

Real ones. That's family.

I don't think you guys are gonna get these.

I'm scared. I wanna get these though.

I really don't.

What is my favorite sport to watch?

Oh!

But there's two, there are two,

I will give you that hint.

Well, obviously you like basketball.

Homer! What?

She didn't write it down yet.

No, but I'm not, well, okay,

then I'm talking it out. Does that get DQed?

You like watching basketball.

You like playing basketball.

Tennis.

I'm also going with basketball.

Oh, basketball. I'm gonna say volleyball.

Oh, that's good. Hm.

Volleyball and basketball and tennis.

That's three answers, Lee. [girls giggling]

I swear, I swear you told me

something about cricket before.

So I definitely probably did say something about cricket

but I-- You did.

Not gonna comment on that because

we have a large Indian audience but

you guys actually got 'em.

Basketball and tennis. Oh, you don't like cricket.

[all cheering] I got tennis!

All right, okay, okay. That's so me.

I knew you said something about tennis.

Why do you think we don't know you?

I don't know.

What was my first job?

An actor?

That's what I was gonna say.

Weren't you in a commercial with your dad?

Yeah.

[pen scribbling] [Maitreyi laughs]

That's what I remember, with your dad!

Your dad, like-- Points for all of us!

My first job was a commercial with my dad

that never aired.

But, yeah, Ramona. The details.

That was really sweet. Good times, I was there.

Oh, man. So you didn't think

we were gonna get any of the questions.

I clearly didn't even know the answers

to my own questions, so. Bet you feel dumb now.

[light music] Okay.

Who is my celebrity crush?

Nobody say it. I already know.

I think it's Anne Hathaway and Zendaya.

Mine was Anne Hathaway. Jack Harlow.

Well, I know that Lee's a huge Twilight fan

so I feel like I have to say Robert Pattinson.

Robby P!

I guess I'll pick Tom Holland.

Zendaya and Ramona Young. Wow!

Ramona, don't look so disgusted.

I'm just shocked.

[Maitreyi] She just confessed her love to you.

Okay, I love you too. That's so sweet.

Aw. I love that.

Other than performing,

what's something I'm really passionate about?

Singing. Music.

Singing. Lee, what are we doing here?

But that's performing, though.

That is performing. That's true.

Yeah. Right.

Environment, Lee's a huge environment person.

Yeah. Yes.

The environment. Environment, stop writing.

Climate activist.

Lee, what are you doing?

She's gonna be like secret-- Yeah, you're like,

what are you doing, are you drawing the earth?

Are you giving us visual aids?

You guys were right, it was climate change.

Yeah. Aw.

[bell dinging] Love that for you.

I'm feeling confident. I'm feeling pressure.

Okay, I think we'll be okay.

Where do I currently go to school and what's my major?

Wait-- No, that's a trick question.

Yeah, it is a trick question.

Trick question, you graduated!

But you went to USC. Went to USC

and you majored in psychology. [bell dinging]

We know this.

What was my first job?

That Hallmark movie. Tags.

Tag. No, no, no.

My first job that wasn't in film or TV,

like in front of the camera. Ooh, acting coaching!

Yeah, I was gonna say that too.

You worked at a film studio. Acting coaching.

Yeah, you were a coach. And a reporter.

At a studio. Oh, acting coaching.

That's true, I was an acting coach.

See? [bell dinging]

I think we can all agree

that we know each other pretty well.

Hell yeah. I'll send you

the Britney Spears photo. [upbeat music]

Thanks! Thank you.

Bye! Bye-bye.

I love you. [upbeat music]
