“I had a little bit of resentment… I did feel envious of people who got their big break in a different way,” Faris explained. “It was only in the last year that I started to notice and appreciate [that] when people recognized me, they would usually smile… They would be thinking about something f—–g stupid I did onscreen.’”
Handler suggested that perhaps sobriety played a role in this perspective change, replying, “I know you stopped drinking. So maybe that lit that up a little bit, right?”
Faris agreed, noting that one of the “many gifts” of quitting drinking was dealing with less of the “correlation between drinking and depression” that she had experienced in the past.
“I had to take a step back and not self-sabotage,” she added.
Faris went on to detail how appearing in the 2026 Scary Movie film helped her to reflect on the past few decades of her acting career.
She told Handler that when she saw Scary Movie star and co-creator Marlon Wayans on set of the latest movie, “I leapt out of my hair and makeup chair and I grabbed him by the forearms and I was like, ‘Marlon, I need you to know that I am so f—–g grateful to be here. I can’t believe I get to thank you in person.’”
“Getting to recognize and take in the gift that [Scary Movie director] Keenen [Ivory Wayans] gave me, and that opportunity to thank him for my comedic journey — the comedy world has given me so much that I did not realize,” Faris continued. “That’s been such a defining part of my life.”
