Melissa McCarthy won’t soon forget sharing a moment on stage at the SAG Awards with Billie Eilish thanks to a black Sharpie.
In one of the show’s more hilarious moments, McCarthy and Eilish took to the stage to present the trophy for female actor in a comedy series, and the movie star took the opportunity to have a fangirl moment. McCarthy reminded Eilish that they had meet before, actually several times, though Eilish seemed not to recall.
“We’ve actually met before, but it’s OK, it doesn’t matter. I mean, why would you remember that? You shouldn’t remember. We’ve meet twice, actually we’ve met thrice. You’ve met my daughters and one of my dogs,” McCarthy said to the music superstar, who is making the rounds (and picking up tons of trophies) for writing “What Was I Made For” for the Barbie soundtrack.
“Fun fact,” McCarthy continued, “since you’re asking, I also met you originally in utero because your mom was my first improv teacher. And guess who she was pregnant with? It was you.” (McCarthy has previously revealed that Maggie Baird, the mother of Eilish and brother Finneas O’Connell, was her improv teacher.)
Eilish pretended to be stunned by the oversharing, saying, “Wow … that’s … a lot.” McCarthy went on by saying that she was trying to be more present (“more YOLOing and less FOMOing”) so she asked Eilish to autograph her gown. “No, I don’t want to ruin it,” Eilish said.
McCarthy then offered up her silver gown along with another joke. “I thought you were going to be like, ‘I don’t want to ruin your pretty face,’” but Eilish said she didn’t care, so McCarthy produced a Sharpie and let Eilish put her signature on her forehead. The gag also included Eilish covering McCarthy’s mouth as she continued talking.
