00:59Hi Andy.
01:00Hi Andy.
01:01Hi.
01:02Hi.
01:03Hi Jenny.
01:04Hi.
01:05Our question is, is it true that you auditioned for the role in Showgirls and rated that movie
01:19from one to ten?
01:20Did you audition for the Elizabeth Berkley role in Showgirls, and can you rate the movie
01:25from one to ten?
01:26Okay.
01:27The answer is yes, I did audition, and there's a great little story, can I tell it?
01:31Yes.
01:32Okay.
01:33So I go, I just moved down to LA.
01:34She has the best story.
01:35She doesn't, she's like a blooming onion.
01:37Okay, I'll try to be good.
01:38I just moved to Los Angeles, and a casting person said you should audition for this movie.
01:42They're auditioning any girl possible that has tits.
01:46So I go and audition.
01:48Girls with tits.
01:49I go and audition, and the lady's like, you're really natural, because I don't know what
01:53the f*** I'm doing, but great.
01:54They take me all the way to Paul Verhoeven.
01:56Okay.
01:57Okay?
01:58And he's got a camera in his face.
01:59He's like, you're incredible.
02:00Do you know how to dance?
02:01I'm like, of course I do.
02:02I don't know how to dance.
02:03But I lie, because you're supposed to lie.
02:06So I go to the dance audition, and there's only like ten girls, and I'm like, oh my god,
02:10and they're dressed like Flashdance, and I'm dressed like a cheerleader.
02:13I'm, you know, sports bra, like.
02:16So they go, and I still remember the dance, okay?
02:18It's to money.
02:19It starts off like this, and then it goes like this, and you're supposed to spin around,
02:23and then do this whole number.
02:25I look like a freaking idiot.
02:27They send everybody back, and they said, now come in one by one, and freelance.
02:32Oh boy.
02:33Freestyle.
02:34Yes.
02:35Freelance.
02:36Sorry.
02:37See?
02:38I don't even know.
02:39It's freestyle.
02:40So they put on music, and I literally go like this.
02:43Okay?
02:44And they're all looking at me like I'm crazy.
02:45I walk backstage, and I'm sitting there, and all the girls come back after they're done.
02:49They're sweating.
02:50I go, what did you guys do?
02:51And they're like, duh, we stripped.
02:53And I was like, oh, f**k.
02:57And were you like, I can strip.
02:58I was a playmate of the year at this point.
03:01Right.
03:02And said I did the Molly Ringwald.
03:04No.
03:05So I didn't get the part, but I was this close, and thank God I didn't get it.
03:09Yeah, right.
03:10Exactly.
03:11I give that movie a 10 for entertainment.
