INTERVIEWER: Aziz, this question has come through from multiple people: any plans on getting Jesse on Parks and Rec?
AZIZ ANSARI: That'd be fun! Yeah, we should do that. I'll ask.
JESSE EISENBERG: That sounds sincere. [faux enthusiasm] "Great sure! Come on down!"

INTERVIEWER: I want to give you guys each a last chance to pitch this movie. Let's start with Jesse.
JESSE EISENBERG: Like a car salesman? I don't know. We've been told to say it's a dual buddy action movie, which I looked up on the internet and it seems like a great genre. I don't know, it's great. I mean, I loved it so much when I read it--the movie is more colorful than the script, it's wonderful, it's very funny, it's 'realistic humor'... I don't know. I feel like an idiot saying all this. It's great, it's great. We're here because it's great--
AZIZ ANSARI: Please, please just go. 'Cause we sat here for an hour; isn't that enough? I mean we've been here--can you just go? Like, just go see it. If you go see it and it makes a lot of money, then we'll get to do more movies and... you could see them. Like, even if you don't--buy a ticket for that and go watch Transformers again! Whatever you need to do, it's fine. But if you go, then we'll get to make more movies. It's the only reason we're here. Otherwise we wouldn't be here for an hour, really. No, I'm kidding. Of course we would! Not really.

INTERVIEWER: Jesse, who do you look up to?
JESSE EISENBERG: I come from a family of teachers, my friends are teachers and I go into their schools sometimes--to me, it's such a wonderful profession, so different from what I do. So yeah, probably that.
INTERVIEWER: Actually, same thing for you, Aziz.
AZIZ ANSARI: He gave such a noble answer; that would have been great if I was just like, "Jay-Z!"

INTERVIEWER: This one's for Jesse: Tyra Banks confessed that she has a crush on you. How does it make you feel?
AZIZ ANSARI: What?! Tyra Banks? That's awesome.
INTERVIEWER: That's from "silverice."
JESSE EISENBERG: That's my alias. Um, I'd say it's mutual.
INTERVIEWER: Aziz, how do you feel about that?
AZIZ ANSARI: I feel like, when I think about Jesse, I've always imagined it with Tyra Banks.

INTERVIEWER: Better kisser: Kristen Stewart or Emma Stone?
JESSE EISENBERG: If I had a nickel for every time someone asked me this, I would have ten cents because I did an interview in Scotland where I was asked the same question. I have thought about this a lot and have created a Venn diagram detailing where the two young women overlap. It's a complicated chart that is available on my website, JesseEisenbergGotToFakeKissFamousWomen.org.
