The two met at "Pebble Bar" in New York. Leslie chose her favorite drink: ginger ale with a splash of grapefruit juice and lime. She made sure the bartender knew what to do!

Their freewheeling conversation covered it all: Leslie's childhood, how a friend signed her up for a comedy competition that changed her career trajectory, and why she almost never went to her "Saturday Night Live" audition (her manager threatened to quit if she didn’t!) Plus, they talk about what Leslie is up to now, including her new HGTV show, "Roast My Rental” where she visits disgusting rentals & transforms them with a designer.
