Hi!
3
You look fantastic.
4
Oh, thank you, love.
5
Before we talk about Schmigadoon...
6
Schmigadoon!
7
Congratulations to the Tony nominations here.
8
I gotta say, last time I saw you was at the SNL 50th Homecoming concert at Radio City.
9
Watched it on Peacock if you haven't seen it.
10
You stole the show...
11
I was...
12
...with Marty and Bobby Mohan.
13
Bobby Mohan.
14
It was un...
15
on a gas tire when I tell you...
16
It was unbelievable, and you didn't miss a beat,
17
and you crushed it, and kept crushing.
18
You know what was so fun?
19
So, first of all, it was so great, because you were there.
20
And remember, it was chaos.
21
SNL's always chaos.
22
This was like the Friday night,
23
like, kind of pregame, like, so-and-so?
24
But it almost felt like the 40th anniversary in a weird way.
25
Remember the after party?
26
Oh, my God, that's exactly what it felt like.
27
And it was all these cool musicians,
28
because it was the music night.
29
So it was like...
30
It was literally the coolest people in American culture for 50 years, and then they...
31
Nirvana reunited.
32
Nirvana reunited.
33
The Roots, the Roots played.
34
The Roots played everything, right, right.
35
Yeah.
36
We're backstage kind of panicking,
37
you know, because- Dressed as these- Dressed as these, these jokers.
38
Yeah.
39
And we're like, and everyone was kind of blowing us off a little bit.
40
Yeah.
41
Because I think they were like, who are these nerds?
42
You know?
43
But that's perfect.
44
I'm like trying to make,
45
you know, chit chat with Chris Martin.
46
It's just like, whatever, ladies.
47
Yes.
48
Nice, nice striped dress.
49
No, yeah.
50
But that's perfect to stay in character.
51
My-my-my, uh, I just don't think they knew who we were, which was great.
52
Like, I love the idea that Bobby and Marty themselves just kind of wandered in to do a gig at Radio City.
53
Yeah, of course.
54
And we were so...
55
We kept...
56
Will and I were so happy, because it...
57
We were so happy, because they would have been so excited to be there, you know?
58
Bobby and Marty.
59
With all the musical artists.
60
Of course they would, with all the musical artists.
61
And my dressing room was between,
62
um, Jack White and Cher's.
63
So dress...
64
Dress like this jackass.
65
You know?
66
I touched Cher's wig.
67
Oh, for good luck?
68
Yeah, for good luck, you gotta do that.
69
You gotta touch...
70
You're a pro.
71
It's like touching, you know,
72
um, I don't know, like a...
73
Cher's wig.
74
It's an amulet.
75
Yes, it is an amulet.
76
You never broke when we were on Siren Live together.
77
You were very professional.
78
It wasn't my jam.
79
No. Because I would dig in deeper.
80
I don't know, it's like the Will Ferrell school or something,
81
but I would just try to go deeper sometimes.
82
One time I broke.
83
One time I broke.
84
I don't know if you were there.
85
I think you were.
86
You came in my second season?
87
Yeah.
88
Harper Steele wrote this insane sketch called Riding My Donkey.
89
Oh, my God.
90
It was a political talk show.
91
Riding My Donkey.
92
Did that air?
93
It was during the Clinton impeachment scandal.
94
And it did air.
95
I know exactly...
96
It did not air, but I know exactly the sketch.
97
It did air, it did air, but not...
98
I didn't break on air.
99
But what happened was it was a bunch of CNN talking heads, a political talk...
100
It was called...
101
Riding my donkey.
102
It was like...
103
Riding my donkey, talking about what's in the news.
104
Riding my donkey, I don't remember this.
105
For people who want to know.
106
I'm riding my donkey.
107
Yeah, I'm riding and talking and riding and talking.
108
Riding my donkey political talk show.
109
So we were on...
110
I totally remembered this.
111
Thank you.
112
Riding my donkey.
113
Riding my donkey.
114
So I was playing some CNN talking head political lady.
115
And by the way, my whole impression was my face going like this.
116
Yeah.
117
That was the impression.
118
So I didn't have...
119
The reason I say that is because it was bad to break in.
120
Because I kept going...
121
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
122
Right?
123
And the donkeys...
124
Well, tell everyone that you were on actual donkeys.
125
See, we were sitting atop actual asses.
126
That was the idea, right?
127
And we were talking about the politics.
128
It was insane.
129
So it was the talks you were all CNN,
130
you were on real-life donkeys.
131
There were real donkeys, and everybody was doing...
132
So there was probably eight donkeys on the set?
133
There were a lot of donkeys.
134
And they had not been trained or drugged in any way.
135
And they were not obviously comfortable with live television.
136
It wasn't a great setting for them.
137
Was one of them biting Daryl Hammond?
138
One bit Daryl in the.. in the , I think.
139
And, I mean, it was a pretty active, like, ow!
140
Like, in the middle of the talk, you know?
141
Yeah, you almost fell off the donkey.
142
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
143
Were you in it?
144
No, I remember seeing it.
145
But we kept, like, lunging...
146
Beth McCarthy Miller would play it to the crew just to make us happy.
147
It was the...
148
Like, while we're rehearsing, like,
149
a late night on a Friday night.
150
And because, you know, you're,
151
like, playing to specific cameras on SNL,
152
so each camera for your character is, like...
153
So...
154
But they kept zooming past one another's shots.
155
Right in my donkey.
156
You know, almost fantastic.
157
Political talks.
158
Anyway, that's...
159
And now, look at you getting nominated for a Tony Award.
160
No big deal.
161
Anna Gaston.
162
I'm excited!
163
Are you kidding?
164
Are you kidding me?
165
Are you kidding me?
166
You love Broadway.
167
I love Broadway.
168
You always have.
169
This is my sixth Broadway show.
170
I am so excited to be nominated.
171
Because, you know, my first Broadway...
172
You came to my Broadway debut.
173
I was there.
174
To Rocky Horror Show in 2001.
175
I remember you.
176
You were in Rocky Horror.
177
Crazy.
178
And, uh, yeah.
179
And I played Elphaba.
180
And then I was there.
181
I saw you as Elphaba,
182
too, because you were defying gravity.
183
I defied gravity.
184
And to the.. and Wicked.
185
And Wicked.
186
But...
187
You love it.
188
I'm like...
189
I love it.
190
And I have to say,
191
like, a lot of this was pre-pre-social media.
192
So, you know, when people know you from SNL,
193
the power of television, there's still people to this day are very confused by the fact that I do theater or sing.
194
And Schmigadoon is so fun because it kind of smushes it all together.
195
You know, it's a...
196
Lauren's producing it, which is incredible.
197
I know, I love that.
198
And it's a parody of the Golden Age musicals.
199
It's about a couple, a modern couple,
200
that gets trapped in a Golden Age musical.
201
And they can't get...
202
One really hates musicals, and one loves them.
203
But...
204
So it's just this great love letter to the American musical theater tradition.
205
And it's super analog.
206
The sets are hand painted.
207
We have 14 pieces in the orchestra.
208
The music is glorious.
209
I have obviously played the villain, duh.
210
I play the...
211
You play the villain?
212
I play the uptight white lady.
213
What else is new?
214
Wow.
215
Are you going through your villain era right now?
216
I'm in my villain era.
217
I get a little redemptive arc,
218
but I get to yell at everybody, which is fun.
219
You have a showstopper song.
220
I do, I do.
221
This song is based on Trouble in River City, from Music Man.
222
And it's a patter song,
223
which I thought would be easier,
224
but it's actually as hard as Elphaba, which kind of sucks.
225
Because it's hard, because you got to talk fast,
226
you got to breathe fast,
227
and then I belt and sing at the end of it,
228
because it has sort of a tent revival characteristic,
229
but you don't have to,
230
you know, run it all the time.
231
Loudmouth Trashers, your tomber ruttin' flap,
232
doodle clap, trap, fiddle faddle, jiggery, pokery, you know.
233
Start with the dream.
234
You're always like, yeah.
235
Come on, bud.
236
It's fun.
237
Ana, you're crushing it.
238
It's fun.
239
It's really, really, really fun.
240
And our ensemble, please, If you like watching people sing and dance on Broadway,
241
come see Schmigadoon, because our ensemble just won the Cheater Rivera Award last night.
242
Hey!
243
That's what I'm talking about!
244
They're amazing.
245
I believe you're performing on our show in a few weeks.
246
Yeah, we are.
247
We're gonna come do Tribulation.
248
Yes.
249
Which is my.. which is my number.
250
I was gonna ask you if you could show me maybe a warm-up,
251
if something to do...
252
Oh, yeah, because you like the vocal arts.
253
I do love the vocal arts.
254
And you take your craft seriously.
255
Thank you very much.
256
That's one thing I know about.
257
You do all you stretch his Alexander technique and stuff before you come out here, right?
258
Roll around on some balls and stuff.
259
Yes.
260
Yes, yes I do.
261
I do a lot of things.
262
I try to, I have a lot of weird like tinctures and stuff.
263
Like all singers, I'm overly.
264
Oils and.
265
A lot of oils and tinctures.
266
It's not good for marriage, but I like it.
267
And then I do like,
268
I do tongue stretching and I do a lot of like,
269
you know, nebulizers and steam and stuff.
270
And then this probably does nothing.
271
I brought it for you.
272
I also do, I throw on a little bit of red light mask because you know- It doesn't do anything?
273
Well, supposedly it grows plants in space, red lights.
274
Oh yeah?
275
I mean, you guys know that.
276
Sure, of course.
277
So why not put it on your face?
278
So why not put it on your face?
279
Yeah, smart.
280
And it's gonna take down inflammation.
281
So you want to take down inflammation, right?
282
So you do that.
283
Well, we could try it together if you like.
284
And- Let's do it.
285
Can we, can we?
286
It's good for just keeping people out of your dressing room, too.
287
And then you can do a couple,
288
um, turn it on and, is it on?
289
Yeah.
290
If you do that, and then you can just,
291
you can do some soft vowel exercises I get with my teacher.
292
And here's, here's a good little phrase.
293
Wait, wait, wait, but I want to make my face.
294
Wow, wow!
295
There you go.
296
Hey!
297
Looking good.
298
Okay, ready?
299
You're wondering who I am.
300
There you go.
301
Perfect.
302
And now we can just do some basic little seconds.
303
Okay.
304
This sucks.
305
This sucks.
306
This sucks.
307
This sucks.
308
This sucks.
309
This sucks.
310
Look at how frightening.
311
This is scary.
312
This sucks.
313
See, and I do some tongue trills.
314
This will really keep everyone out of your dress room.
315
Yes.
316
Yes, I feel like a Broadway star on a guest hour.
317
Can you even see this?
318
Shigadoon is now playing on Broadway at the Nederlander Theater.
319
More Tonight Show after the break.
320
Stick around, everybody.

Come on.

Perché praticare il parlato con questo video?
Praticare la conversazione in inglese attraverso video come questo offre un'opportunità unica di apprendimento. Osservando il modo in cui Ana Gasteyer e Jimmy Fallon interagiscono, gli studenti possono assorbire non solo il lessico e le espressioni, ma anche il tono colloquiale tipico di situazioni informali. Queste conversazioni ricche di energia e spontaneità permettono di sentirsi più a proprio agio nel parlare l'inglese, soprattutto in contesti sociali. In aggiunta, l'ascolto attivo delle loro interazioni aiuta a sviluppare abilità di shadow speech, una tecnica utile che incoraggia gli studenti a imitare il paroliere per migliorare la loro pronuncia e fluidità.
Grammatica ed Espressioni nel Contesto
- "I gotta say" - Questa espressione colloquiale è una forma contratta di "I have to say", utile per esprimere opinioni in modo rilassato.
- "You stole the show" - Un modo per complimentarsi con qualcuno, dicendo che ha attirato tutta l'attenzione durante un evento, molto usato in contesti di spettacolo.
- "Was kind of chaotic" - Un'espressione che descrive una situazione disordinata. Usare "kind of" rende il discorso più naturale e colloquiale.
- "It felt like the 40th anniversary" - Un ottimo esempio di come collegare eventi e creare contesto, utile per chi praticano la raccontare storie.
Queste strutture grammaticali e frasi colloquiali sono strumenti chiave per chi è impegnato nella pratica di conversazione in inglese, poiché aggiungono ricchezza e varietà al vocabolario.
Trappole di Pronuncia Comuni
Durante il video, ci sono alcune parole e frasi che possono presentare difficoltà per chi impara l'inglese. Ad esempio, "reunited" può essere difficile per i principianti a causa della presenza della "u" e della sequenza di suoni. Altro termine problematico è "Nirvana", non solo per la sua origine culturale unica ma anche per la pronuncia distintiva. Infine, l'uso di frasi colloquiali come "you know" e "whatever" è frequente e richiede un certo livello di abilità per essere riprodotto correttamente. Incorporare shadowing in inglese per esercitarsi su queste parole aiuterà a perfezionare sia la pronuncia che la fluidità.
Utilizzando queste strategie e praticando le espressioni contestuali, gli studenti possono migliorare significativamente la loro pratica di conversazione in inglese, rendendo il loro processo di apprendimento più dinamico ed efficace.
Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
