Nick Kroll Reveals the ‘Sick Little D—' Scene in ‘Big Mouth' That Netflix Asked to Be Cut: ‘It's the Grossest Thing'
Just when you think coming-of-age animated series 'Big Mouth' on Netflix couldn't be any raunchier, co-creator and star Nick Kroll reveals the time that he and his cohorts realized they probably went too far. 'Maury [Kroll] was allowed to have sex with the decapitated skull of Garrison Keillor, and this was before Keillor went down, mind you, and [Netflix] still let that go,' Kroll told me Thursday at the show's series finale premiere at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood. (Minnesota Public Radio cut ties with Keillor in 2017 after an investigation found he had engaged in dozens of sexually inappropriate incidents over many years.) More from Variety Seth Rogen Sends Message to Daniel Day-Lewis to Guest Star on 'The Studio' Season 2: 'Please Consider a Zoom With Us, We'll Pitch You a Good Idea' Jimmy Kimmel Joins 'Smurfs' Voice Cast (EXCLUSIVE) 'Étoile' Star Gideon Glick Launches LGBTQ+ Not-for-Profit Theater Initiative Blue Roses Project With Jonathan Groff Joining Board of Directors (EXCLUSIVE) 'But there's another moment in that scene where…Rick takes a thermometer out of his sick little dick, and a little bit of blood spurts out,' Kroll laughed. 'It's the grossest thing. Netflix was like, 'Could you maybe…' and we were like, 'Yeah, we saw.'' The eighth and final season of 'Big Mouth' premieres on Netflix on May 26. Also hitting the red carpet on Thursday were Ayo Edebiri, Jason Mantzoukas, Jessi Klein, Richard Kind, Steve Buscemi, Whitmer Thomas, Jack McBrayer, John Gemberling and co-creators and executive producers Andrew Goldberg, Mark Levin and Jennifer Flackett. The after-party included penis-shaped grilled cheese sandwiches. Andrew Rannells co-stars on 'Big Mouth' as gay bully Matthew. 'I told Nick Kroll this and he was very surprised,' Rannells said. 'When Nick asked me to do this, he was like, 'You're going to play a gay bully and I was like, 'What am I going to do for this voice? What is a gay bully going to sound like?' I decided that my gay bully voice was going to be a young Kim Cattrall as Samantha Jones.' Next up for Kroll is a part in the new 'Smurfs' movie. He told me he's playing a 'bad guy wizard' who is part of villain Gargamel's (JP Karliak) 'crew' but 'genuinely' doesn't know his character's name. The film stars Rihanna as Smurfette. Papa Smurf is played by John Goodman with Amy Sedaris as Mama Smurf. Rounding out the cast are Sandra Oh, Nick Offerman, Hannah Waddingham, Dan Levy, Natasha Lyonne, Octavia Spencer, James Corden, Kurt Russell, Maya Erskine, Alex Winter, Xolo Maridueña, Billie Lourd and Marshmello. Kroll joked that he produced Rihanna's music for the movie after working on Rihanna's long-awaited next album. 'They threw me a bone and were like, 'Wanna do some lines?' [in 'Smurfs'],' Kroll cracked. 'I said, 'I'd love to.''

Adria Arjona discusses her ‘Andor' farewell: ‘There's so much hope in that scene'
Andor. Adria Arjona remembers how she found out that she would be in the final shot of Andor with a baby in tow. Show creator Tony Gilroy broke the news to her almost casually, considering how meticulously detailed and thought-out Andor always seems. More from GoldDerby Jeremy Allen White and Austin Butler team up for 'Enemies,' Maya Hawke joins 'Hunger Games' prequel, 'Smurfs' trailer drops, and more top news Tony Talk: Predicting the tricky musical acting categories including Audra McDonald vs. Nicole Scherzinger 'Gypsy' Tony nominee Joy Woods takes Louise from 'apologetic' to 'powerful' 'He told me in passing, because he's so cool like that,' Arjona says of Gilroy. 'He was like, 'Oh, by the way, kid, the last shot is going to be you.' I was like, 'What? What do you mean? And I'm holding what, a baby? When does Bix get pregnant? Do you see me pregnant? Do you not see me pregnant?' And he was like, 'Relax, kid. Let me write it and I'll send it to you.' So I knew that that was going to happen.' That last scene is Arjona's singular appearance as Bix Caleen in the final three episodes of Andor. When Bix broke up with her hero, Cassian Andor (Diego Luna), via a 'Dear John' video message at the end of Episode 9, it seemed like that was the last viewers would see of her (especially considering the character is not part of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story). Arjona did everything she could to make that breakup message feel emotional and final. 'We filmed it practically, like she would've filmed it,' Arjona tells Gold Derby. 'So I was alone, and Cassian was sleeping, and I would walk from the bedroom and go by the table and start recording, and the first four [takes] were not usable at all.' Arjona continues, 'I'm spilling all my tea, but they weren't usable because I was so emotional. It was the first time in my career that I allowed my emotions to get involved; I am hired because I can control my emotions, you know what I mean? But I couldn't control it. It meant so much to me and I respect and love Rogue One so much that propelling one of your favorite characters into a movie that you love so dearly was something that I couldn't get over until finally I shed that and Bix took over, and it's the scene that you see.' While the breakup message was a hard goodbye, Bix's final scene carries the promise that all the sacrifices will be worth it for the future, a long-running theme of Star Wars. 'I think there's so much hope in that scene,' Arjona says. 'There's something really beautiful that Bix always says throughout this entire season, 'He's going to come back.' She has no doubt in Cassian, and when you don't have any doubt in someone, you inflict so much confidence. That's sort of what Tony Gilroy has been for me in my life. He's never doubted me. He's only inflicted confidence in me, and that's what Bix is for Cassian.' Arjona admits it's bittersweet to say goodbye to Andor after working on it for years, but she hopes to remember everything she learned on the most acclaimed Star Wars show. 'It's going to be tough to top this one,' Arjona says. 'It's been such a beautiful creative team. I got to work with some of the best of the best, from hair and makeup to costumes to production design to directors, writers, and actors. I've learned so much in this show. I mean, it's really been one of my greatest schools. Anywhere I looked, there was a lesson there for me, and I really grew up in this show in many ways over six years. Where I was in my career to where I am now, it's a lot of thanks to the show and to Tony and to Diego who really supported me and believed in me. It is sad to realize that our last episode is coming out. You're just like, 'Oh man, this is it. We gave it our all, and it's all out there.''
