Kate McKinnon once suffered an embarrassing slip-up while filming the 2016 remake of Ghostbusters with comedic legends Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wiig.
On this morning’s episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, host Drew Barrymore invited Saturday Night Live alum Leslie Jones to virtually ask her former co-star a series of questions in the “Final Five” segment.
However, McKinnon — who starred on SNL from 2012 to 2022 — seemed to clam up when Jones asked her to name the most embarrassing thing she had ever done on set.
“Should I say it?” McKinnon contemplated, before finally adding, “It was on the set of Ghostbusters. I was sitting between Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wiig. They were rolling and I farted.”
“It was audible,” she continued. “And everyone had to stop filming because everyone was so surprised — so surprised — that I had let it happen.”
McKinnon isn’t the only actor to come out with an embarrassing farting story this week. Men in Black director Barry Sonnenfeld revealed on the latest episode of Kelly Ripa‘s Let’s Talk Off Camera podcast that the entire set had to be evacuated “for about three hours” after Will Smith farted.
The director explained that Smith and co-star Tommy Lee Jones had to be “hermetically sealed” in a pod that was being used for the car in one action sequence. However, Smith allegedly let one loose while they were filming.
“Will Smith is a farter,” Sonnenfeld said, per Variety. “It’s just some people are. And you really don’t want to be inside a very small hermetically sealed space with a Will Smith fart. You don’t even want to be sitting next to him at the Disney ranch.”
He added, “We evacuated the stage for about three hours. And that’s incredible. No, he’s, you know, a lovely guy. Just, he farts. Some do, some don’t.”
The Drew Barrymore Show airs on weekdays on CBS. You can check the website for local airtimes.
