Jay: All righty. My nexguest — terrific actress and singer. Her latest
film is called “chasing liberty.” It opens january 9th. Please welcome
mandy moore.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Mandy: Man in audience: I love you, mandy.
Jay: There you go. Let me see the — I gotta see the shoes.
Mandy: Ah, the pretty little shoes.
Jay: They’ve been working on those feet all –
Mandy: All afternoon.
Jay: I come in at like 1:00, and they’re doing the big toe. I come in
at 4:00, we’re just down to the little toe.
Mandy: Down to the pinky.
Jay: That’s a lot of work. But they look lovely.
Mandy: Thank you very much. Thank you.
Jay: You had a happy new year.
Mandy: I did. Did you?
Jay: I had a nice new year. Did you spend it with your boyfriend, andy?
Mandy: I spent it with my boyfriend in florida, very low-key sort of
new year’S.
Jay: Really?
Mandy: Yeah, no big party.
Jay: Well, he’s a big tennis champ, of course.
Mandy: He is, yes.
Jay: Now, is he doing a reality show?
Mandy: There was word at a time that he was doing a reality show. It
started off as kind of like a documentary that would follow him around
and kind of snowballed into a reality show, but not a fan, not a fan.
Jay: You don’t like reality shows?
Mandy: I love reality shows.
Jay: You don’t want to be in one.
Mandy: I would never want to be in one.
Jay: Which ones do you like?
Mandy: I got sucked into “american idol” last year.
Jay: Okay, well, I guess that’s reality. I think of it more like the
“bachelor.” We had trista and ryan here. Did you follow that?
Mandy: I didn’T. I happened to switch on the wedding, which, I think,
was a bit kind of vomitocious. All the pink and everything.
Jay: Hang on. Can we back up just a minute?
Mandy: Vomitocious, yes.
Jay: Vomitocious.
Mandy: I don’t know. I have my own sort of vocabulary.
Jay: Well, I think I know what it means. So you’re not a fan of the
trista/ryan.
Mandy: I think it’s very sweet that they care about each other, but
the whole kind of wedding on tv and chronicling everything was a little
much for me.
Jay: You buy it? You think it’s a real romance? You seem suspicious.
Mandy: They were on the show. What do you think?
Jay: I don’t know.
[ Light laughter ]
Mandy: I kind of feel like it.
Jay: He seems like most guys — “sure, go ahead.”
Mandy: She dominated that with all of the pink everywhere.
Jay: “What do you want?” “Yeah, that’s great, honey.”
[ Laughter ]
Mandy: They’ll last. They’ll last.
Jay: Now, I know you and jack osbourne are great friends, from “the
osbournes.”
Mandy: I’ve been friends with jack and kelly for a little bit now. It
kind of rubbed off on me.
Jay: Did they take you for a tattoo?
Mandy: Jack did. I kind of decided a while ago I wanted to get an itty-bitty
tattoo, and I figured he’s an expert on the subject.
Jay: You don’t seem like the tattoo type to me. You seem –
Mandy: I did, actually.
Jay: Where did you get it? Any place good?
Mandy: On my toe, right there. It’s a little baby heart. See, right
down there.
[ Laughter ] It’s so minuscule, right?
Jay: It looks like a prison tattoo.
[ Laughter ]
Mandy: It’s something I feel like I can live with for the rest of my
life. He came, he held my hand and made sure I wasn’t too nervous.
Jay: Did you tell anyone beforehand? Did you tell your parents or anybody?
Mandy: I told my parents. They were fine. My mom actually has an itty-bitty
tattoo on her toe as well, so she couldn’t be a hypocrite about the subject.
But I didn’t tell andy, actually. I wanted to see if he would notice when
we saw each other, but it ended up in “people” magazine first somehow,
so.
Jay: He saw your toe in “people”?
Mandy: I guess there was a little tidbit about me getting a tattoo,
so he just took my shoe off when he saw me next and the whole surprise
was blown, I guess.
Jay: Wow, that’s what I would do if I hadn’t seen you in a while. I’d
rip that shoe off.
Mandy: Rip the show off.
[ Laughter ]
Jay: Get a look at that toe!
[ Laughter ] Tell me about the movie. You play the president’s daughter,
is this what you do?
Mandy: I do. I play anna foster, the president’s daughter, a kind of
typical 18-year-old. Wants to rebel against her parents and tr to prague,
and decides to kind of shun her responsibilities and run off with a stranger
who’s actually a young secret service agent, but she doesn’t know it.
Jay: Who plays the president? Mark harmon.
Mandy: Mark harmon. Yes.
Jay: He’s cute.
Mandy: He’s very good-looking. I, along with my mom and just about every
other woman on set swooned every time he walked in.
Jay: Really? Is it weird to see your mom swooning over someone?
Mandy: Dad was always on the set watching over mom, making sure tshdnl
fnn
Jay: Have you ever been
Mandy: I have. For george W., Actually twice. He had a reception at
the white house before one of the performances and I stole some napkins.
[ Light laughter ]
Jay: Oh.
Mandy: You’re at the white house. Come on, you gotta like take some
memorabilia.
Jay: Sure, it’s your tax dollars.
Mandy: Of course, I stole some cocktail napkins and put them in my purse.
Jay: Did you take any silverware?
Mandy: No.
Jay: Did you get caught — because you know you’re on tape. You know,
someone has a photo of you doing it.
Mandy: Of course.
[ Laughter ] Putting it in the purse. Uy veo loocfo of the whiteusback
with them. Maybe ts t
Jay: I guess there’s a nude scene, but it’s not you. You had a butt
double?
Mandy: I had a butt double on the set, yes.
[ Laughter ] When I initially read the script — I’m a pretty modest
girl — when I saw that it called for my character trying to break free
and kind of go skinny dipping.
Jay: Hear, hear.
Mandy: Hear, hear. So the production company actually got me a manila
envelope full of czech models, because we shot the scene in prague, and
I had to essentially pick my butt.
[ Laughter ] Oh, I totally upgraded, by the way.
[ Laughter ]
Jay: An envelope full of — bill, you have an envelope like that, don’t
you? Full of rear ends?
[ Laughter ]
Bill: I stopped listening after butt, jay, sorry.
[ Laughter ]
Jay: Here’s a clip, “chasing liberty.” Take a look.
Anna, I know dating is a little more difficult for you.
Try impossible.
And you know that the extra security is necessary.
They ruined her date. She really likes this boy.
Oh, okay. A boy who ranks 24th in his class, plays xbox two hours a
day, and wants to go to art school?
Who told you that?
Phil.
I don’t want some guy who wears his sunglasses inside the house at night
– sorry, phil — listening in on my dinner date. That is such a total
abuse of power. I am 18 years old and I want to go out a date without a
posse of guys in bad suits — sorry, harper — hiding behind every tree.
Nothing is private.
Sweetie, I am just trying to protect you.
Dad, you know, I’m not that little 12-year-old girl who would only dance
with you at your inaugural ball.
You’re right.
[ Applause ]
Jay: Well, congratulations.
Mandy: Thank you.
Jay: “Chasing liberty” opens january 9th. Thank you, mandy.
Mandy: Nice to see you.
Jay: Say hi to andy for us.
Mandy: I will.
