On a recent episode of The Late Late Show with James Corden, comedian Hannah Einbinder shared an amusing story about her trip to Las Vegas. The transcript reveals the hilarity and mishaps that ensued during her time in Sin City.
Before diving into the Vegas adventure, Einbinder discussed her children’s involvement in the theater. Her daughter Soraya, age nine, was starring as Jack in a production of “Into the Woods,” and her five-and-a-half-year-old son, Kai, was playing the Baker. Einbinder humorously mentioned that their precise performance schedules included her son’s show in June and her daughter’s show in May.
Moving on to her connection with the show, Einbinder revealed that she is close friends and neighbors with The Late Late Show’s very own Reggie Watts. She described their hangouts as anything but typical, often taking spontaneous trips to virtual reality tech cannabis events in desert igloos. The duo embraces wherever the wind—or cannabis-infused virtual reality—takes them.
Continuing their conversation, Corden congratulated Einbinder on her show “Minks” being renewed for a second season. This exciting news was delivered while Einbinder and Watts were filming a sketch together, playing lovers breaking through the Berlin Wall. The comedian expressed her delight, giving credit to her co-star Watts for bringing good luck.
As the conversation flowed, Einbinder happily shared details about her stand-up comedy tour, mentioning her upcoming performance in London from September 26 to October 8. However, she admitted that her favorite crowd to perform for is in her hometown of Los Angeles. Einbinder praised LA audiences for not being easily impressed, noting how they appreciate comedy differently and have great taste.
Einbinder also reminisced about her waitressing days at a saloon in Hell’s Kitchen, New York. With a mix of nostalgia and humor, she described one encounter where a customer asked her to smile. She cleverly responded by asking the customer if they would smile if their husband had left and they had three mouths to feed, before throwing in a comeback, “Enjoy your fries!”
The conversation shifted back to Einbinder’s success, as the discussion turned towards the popular show “Hacks,” in which she stars. She teased viewers with season two updates, promising more of what fans loved from the first season, including character development, laughs, tears, and love.
Finally, Einbinder disclosed her tumultuous relationship with Las Vegas. She shared a wild Vegas trip with her college roommates, where they split one hotel room and relied on the Whole Foods hot bar for sustenance. Unfortunately, the carpet in the hotel room was damp, and Einbinder’s attempt at pole dancing resulted in a herniated disc in her back. To make matters worse, she experienced food poisoning later that night. Despite the rough experience, Einbinder broke her Vegas curse when she returned to film “Hacks” and even enjoyed a recent trip to see Penn and Teller perform.
With her entertaining anecdotes and witty humor, Hannah Einbinder continues to captivate audiences across the country as she unapologetically shares her comedic talent and captivating stories.
