I wrote a paper for a PR class on her and her book and how she utilized the media. So I watched her on your show about a hundred times and laughed and laughed each time. I don't know how you handled it as well as you did, but it was ridiculous and funny to watch.

The funniest part, to me, was the way that Carrie said it... "You're being inappropriate, Larry" in this voice like she was talking to a child. She got to go on Larry King and she didn't even win Miss USA yet she was acting like she was in control of the interview. There was zero respect.

I don't have any questions because I already attended an amazing In A World Q&A here in LA, but I just wanted to say that In A World has been my favorite movie of the year. It motivated me to write on my entertainment blog again (after a 10 month absence) because I needed a way to quickly share with all my friends how amazing this movie is. http://herearethingsilike.wordpress.com/2013/07/29/lake-bell-in-a-world/ When my mom comes to visit LA in a couple weeks, I will absolutely be seeing this film again with her.

I love that it doesn't fall easily into any one box. It's not a cheesy romance. It's not straight up drama. It's not just a comedy. It was a phenomenal movie that had all the facets real life has. Drama, humor, relationships. I truly adored it and I really appreciate you taking the time to come to the screening, answer questions and chat with the audience members. You are now one of my all-time favorite people. So, thank you. I can't wait to see this movie with a new crowd and I can't wait to own the DVD!

Wait now I do have a question... what kind of amazing special features can we expect? I'd imagine you have some great bloopers.

EDIT: Thank you for the Reddit Gold, whoever you are! My gift to you is to tell you to go see In A World... ASAP ;)

Retta, I want to be you. Your show tweets are the reason I've watched Orphan Black and Orange is the New Black. You make my life better. Please come by the Laugh Factory some time! I do social media there and just send people this GIF all day long when they ask what I'm doing: http://cdn.uproxx.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/donna-meagle-tweet.gif

If you had an army of clones, what would you do with them?

A longer "stupid slapper" scene is just what the world needed! Thanks for your reply :)

I'm very excited to see you in The Wedding Ringer and for your upcoming special. Are you looking into doing more scripted stuff or are you focusing on stand-up for the time being? What's your process for choosing what you want to appear in, both scripted and in terms of talk shows and clip shows? Your career is incredible because you've never been pigeonholed into one thing and you seem to create roles and opportunities for yourself.

PS: You are my favorite person to see around the Laugh Factory and you make working there a joy! And I love seeing pictures of Ramona on your Instagram.
