Reneé Rapp Prank Calls Role Model, Bowen Yang, Towa Bird & Jake Shane | Phoning It In | ELLE - video Dailymotion

Elle USA

Reneé Rapp loves to lie—but hates cold calling. The solution? Hand her a martini, power through everyone’s DND, and let the chaos unfold. In this episode of “Phoning It In,” the ‘BITE ME’ singer delivers an unhinged masterclass in improv, prank calling her closest friends with zero remorse as she convinces Bowen Yang she hit Lorne Michaels on a crosswalk, drunkenly professes her love to Role Model, fakes an arrest to rattle her partner Towa Bird, traumatizes Jake Shane with a pregnancy scare—and even throws a queer Don Draper pitch Jon Hamm’s way. Will her friends ever forgive her? Will they ever forgive *us*? Probably not. But for an Oscar-worthy performance powered by fake tears—absolutely worth it.

00:00I love you so much, and to the entire Elle team, we're done.

00:04He said, we're done.

00:05We're done.

00:06Hi, I'm Renee Rapp, and this is Phoning It In with Elle.

00:11I feel like it's going to go super well.

00:12I love to lie, but I, oh my God, I hate cold calling people.

00:16So that's the only part about this that I'm like, oh God, I'm going to push through their

00:21D&D anyway.

00:23Who should I call?

00:24Who should I call?

00:24Sorry, I just have to skim through my book.

00:27Let's see.

00:27I'm going to call Bowen, and I'm going to tell him I accidentally hit Lorne Michaels walking

00:34on a crosswalk.

00:38Hello?

00:39Hey, this is Renee.

00:41Renee from where?

00:43Well, Renee, Rapp, Renee.

00:45Oh my God, hi, are you okay?

00:47Hey, sorry, honestly, okay, I don't necessarily know who else I can call.

00:51Okay, okay, yeah, what's up?

00:53Are you alone?

00:54I'm not, but I can get alone.

00:56Right here, okay.

00:57Yeah, hi, hi, hi, what's up?

00:59Okay, so I'm in New York, and I was driving.

01:03Well, I wasn't driving, I was in the car.

01:05There's a lot of traffic, and people were crossing, and I was like, oh my God, that's

01:09my friend, and it was Lorne, and the driver got distracted.

01:14He basically hit Lorne while he was walking.

01:18And so I like ran out of the car, and I just ran into this building, and I think he saw

01:25me, and I don't really know what to do, and I don't want him to think that I hit him.

01:29Like, it wasn't me driving the car, but I ran out because I got so scared.

01:32Don't worry, he probably totally understands what the situation was.

01:37I'm so sorry you feel this, of course, it makes total sense that you're scared and distressed

01:42about it, but...

01:42If he had a heart attack and died, I don't know what I would do.

01:46Oh, oh, Lorne, it's okay, it's totally fine.

01:49Okay, but I really want to do SNL again, so I just feel like, hey, I don't know, I don't

01:55know, what if...

01:56I know.

01:57Nothing bad is going to happen, okay?

02:00Okay.

02:01I promise.

02:02Can I be so honest?

02:03Yeah, yeah, please.

02:04Okay, I love you more than anything, and I am fully pranking you for an Elle prank call

02:12video, and I did not hit our dear friend, Lorne Michaels.

02:16You're a fucking...

02:18What the fuck is wrong with you?

02:23Oh, my God.

02:25Wait, why is my heart racing?

02:27Because you sold that shit.

02:30Wait, thanks, I kind of ate.

02:31I'm at work.

02:33I'm so sorry.

02:34All of her is going down.

02:37I'm awesome for that.

02:39Bye.

02:39I'm being crazy, I love you.

02:41Love you.

02:42So perfect.

02:44You're going to do SNL again.

02:46I'm like, but what if Lorne has a heart attack?

02:48Honestly, poor Lorne.

02:50All right, I'm going to call him a role model.

02:53I'm going to profess my love for him, and if he says something crazy, then we're fucked.

03:02It's his birthday.

03:05Hey, what are you doing?

03:06Hey, okay, wait, where are you?

03:09What are you doing?

03:10I'm at lunch with my lawyer, and I'm staring across the room at Cone and Greg.

03:15Okay, first of all, happy birthday.

03:21Okay, I have to tell you something.

03:24Okay.

03:24Okay, so I'm in New York, and I'm so drunk, and I'm out with my friends, and we were just

03:31talking about you.

03:33Honestly, like, I love girls, but I've had the biggest crush on you for so long, and I think

03:42you're the cutest thing ever, and I think that we should definitely be together.

03:49You're freaking me out.

03:51Wait, literally come to New York.

03:53This is like my birthday present.

03:55If I was going to date a boy, it's going to have to be you.

03:59Okay, totally.

04:01You're freaking me out, but I'm 100%.

04:03I agree.

04:04Hang on.

04:06Who is this?

04:06Hurry, call again.

04:07Answer it, goddammit.

04:09Hi, I love you.

04:11I'm prank calling you.

04:14It's freaking me out.

04:15You scared me.

04:17Okay, love you.

04:20Wait, Tucker's so scared.

04:28He's like, oh, I love you.

04:30I'm going to text you.

04:31My drunk voice is too good.

04:32No, it's actually insane.

04:33Yeah, by the way, Bowen just texted me and said, fucking insane.

04:36Oh, my God.

04:38Who is next?

04:40I'm going to call Toa and tell her that I got in a fight, and I'm being detained.

04:45We have a lot of conversations about our anger.

04:47Hey, baby.

04:51Hey, what are you doing?

04:53I'm just driving.

04:54What's up?

04:55Long story short, I was walking to rehearsal.

04:57There was this person outside, and they kind of just started, like, barking back at me and

05:00just started, like, yelling at me, and, like, I started going back at them, and, like, you

05:03know how...

05:04I'm coming, thanks.

05:05You know how hard of a week I've had, and I've been really wound tight, and I just kind

05:09of lost it.

05:09I just lost it on this person, and I hit this person, and they fell.

05:13What?

05:13Okay.

05:14The person who was watching called the police, and...

05:17And now they are basically detaining me.

05:18I don't know what to do.

05:19Okay, honey, it's okay.

05:20I don't know what to do.

05:21Okay, you're gonna be...

05:21I don't know what to do.

05:23You're gonna be okay, my baby, my baby.

05:26I'm right here.

05:26I'm right here, okay?

05:28Okay.

05:28I'm right here.

05:29Okay.

05:30Okay.

05:30Why are they detaining you?

05:32Just because I hit this person so hard that they fell.

05:34Speak to the police, and just tell them that they came at you, and you felt right.

05:39And you know how, like, in the episodes of SVU that we watch, like, basically somebody

05:43open somebody hard enough, and then they have, like, brain bleeding, and then they end up

05:47dying, and they just don't want that to be me.

05:51Honey, honey, it's not gonna be me.

05:53If you can try and calm down, if you can try and calm down...

05:58This was really just in self-defense, baby, I promise.

06:02I know, honey.

06:03I know, honey.

06:04Nothing bad is gonna happen to you, okay?

06:06Nothing bad is gonna happen.

06:07If you just calmly explain the situation, that it was important for you to keep yourself safe.

06:12Of course, of course.

06:14Okay, baby.

06:14So, if you could just post me all for me, I'm really, really sorry.

06:18Okay, baby, okay.

06:19Wait, hang on.

06:20I was pranking you.

06:28I didn't hit anybody.

06:31Yo, what the fuck is wrong with you?

06:36Please don't be mad at me.

06:37I love you so much.

06:40I'm gonna kill you, and I'm gonna kill that bitch.

06:42I'm too.

06:44Can I be honest?

06:47There's Oscar buzz.

06:47I've been going so crazy all day.

06:49Love you, baby.

06:51Bye.

06:52Bye.

06:53Wait, she genuinely got very upset.

06:57Wait, I'm, like, shaking.

06:59I'm so invested in my own performance.

07:01This is outrageous.

07:02Why am I, like, terrified?

07:04This is fun.

07:05I think I miss acting.

07:06I'm gonna call Jon Hamm and tell him that I've been asked to play a queer version of Don Draper in a Mad Men reboot.

07:18Your call has been forwarded to voicemail.

07:20Jonathan, call me back.

07:23It's randomly urgent.

07:25And if he doesn't text me back in two minutes, I know he's filming, but I'm literally gonna call him again.

07:29I don't believe in D&D.

07:31For me, I believe in it, but for my friends, I don't.

07:34Oh, he said, hey, honey, I'm on set.

07:36Can I hit you in a bit?

07:38No.

07:41This is so random, but it's sort of dire.

07:44Only if you have a sec.

07:49He said.

07:50I'm right in the middle of the shooting.

07:51Is this about, quotes, bite me?

07:57I'm gonna be, like, so crazy, but it's about Mad Men.

08:01Okay, did I call everyone that I, oh, he just sent me a voicemail.

08:08Hang on.

08:09By the way, the transcription, the AI transcript, says transcription, low confidence, because he talks so low.

08:15He's so cute.

08:16Rob Star, I'm in a little shooting.

08:20I have limited service, but I will try you at a later moment in time.

08:24Hopefully later, as you think.

08:26He's so cute.

08:28Okay, and now I'm gonna send him a voicemail.

08:30I have to be so honest with you, because I don't want you to see this and get scared.

08:34I was trying to prank call you, and tell you that I was going to play the lesbian Don Draper in Mad Men Gay Edition.

08:42You're such a sweet little concerned friend.

08:45Have a good time shooting.

08:48I think he's the sweetest person alive.

08:51Like, this man is in lesbian group chats.

08:52Like, he can be trusted across the globe.

08:54Like, he's perfect.

08:56I have to call Jake.

08:57I'm trying to think of an insane, like, super raunchy.

09:01Oh, no.

09:03He was trying to find a sugar daddy.

09:06Sorry, this is a prank call for Elle Maxine.

09:09Oh, wait, got it.

09:11I'm gonna call Jake Shane and tell him that I'm pregnant.

09:14Queen!

09:18Okay, hey.

09:19What are you doing right now?

09:21Are you, is everything okay?

09:23I'm kind of freaking out, because I don't want to talk to any of my immediate friends in my friend group.

09:27Like, in the lesbian group, because I feel like they'll...

09:29Are you doing an Elle prank call series right now?

09:33I love you, and I genuinely wish that I was.

09:35Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.

09:37I just, I just had to get that up.

09:38No, no, no, I know.

09:40I am pregnant.

09:44Oh, my God, are you serious?

09:45I obviously can't tell any of my friends, because they know Toa.

09:49And I think that they would freak out, because obviously, like, it's not hers.

09:53So, what do you want to do?

09:54I have you, I have you.

09:55I met this guy, and we had this, like, whole thing, and that was, like, attractive to me.

09:58Oh, no, I'm so sorry.

10:00I'm so sorry.

10:00I'm not sure what I'm supposed to, like, say to her.

10:03I just don't know what to do, and I, like, told her to, like, leave the house, because

10:05I was, like, I don't, I, like, can't be around you.

10:08But also, I'm, like, I have to, like, admit it to her.

10:11I feel like maybe she'll be, like, empathetic, you know?

10:14But, like, I've cheated before, and I think that this was always, like, the thing she was

10:17going to be afraid of.

10:19I'm going to finish work at, like, four o'clock, and then I can come to you literally

10:24right when I finish.

10:26Ugh, I love you so much.

10:29Are you fucking with me?

10:31I literally...

10:33I hate you!

10:37Wait, tell me I didn't sell it.

10:39No, you told her.

10:40I was like, oh, my God, you just gave me a fucking heart attack.

10:44Totally.

10:45I love you so much, and to the entire L team, we're done.

10:49He said it.

10:50We're done.

10:51We're done.

10:51I love you.

10:52Bye.

10:53Bye, hon.

10:54My sweet little peach.

10:55What a cutie pie.

10:57I think it went really well.

10:58I think that my girlfriend might leave me,

11:01but my heart is literally racing.

11:04Like, that was literally exhausting.

11:05I, like, put myself through those scenarios, basically.

11:08I just hit Lauren with a car.

11:09That's how it feels emotionally.

11:11Anyway, thanks for watching.

11:13Listen to my new music.

11:15Don't hit anybody too hard to the point where you're scared about, like, a brain aneurysm.

11:20Don't hit anybody.
