WWDTM: Amanda Seyfried
Yeah, it just seemed so far-fetched. I was like, that would be fun.
Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!
WWDTM: Amanda Seyfried
I had this weird obsession with the first 48. I would watch like two episodes before bed every night. I think that's probably why I was so anxious in my early 20s. But yeah, sure. I mean, I just think it's cool. And I never wanted to play detective. Don't get me wrong. Those are, they're cool, but they're everywhere. Beat cops is where it's at. Yeah, really?
Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!
WWDTM: Amanda Seyfried
I just feel so slight that like no one would believe me with that kind of authority. So I just wanted to prove myself and everybody else wrong.
Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!
WWDTM: Amanda Seyfried
Yeah, I had no business being there. But I went, and it was something.
Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!
WWDTM: Amanda Seyfried
I mean... Pretty much, yeah. There's like a give and take, and I don't want to be greedy, but I'm also like, I want to see what's next. Like, yeah, let's go to the Wawa. Let's break up the fight. They let me choose which place we were going to go next. Did they really? Well, there's a wellness check. You want to do that? And I'm like, that could be anything. We should go.
Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!
WWDTM: Amanda Seyfried
And if that ever happened, listen, I'm for it. I'll do anything to save a life.
Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!
WWDTM: Amanda Seyfried
It really was, actually, those images that came out a while back of us in our most drunken state at some party where we did karaoke in Skopelos, it just looks like the most fun anyone could ever have, especially because Meryl Streep is at the center of every photo. And I wish I could say, oh, wasn't that fun? But my grandmother got drunk that night.
Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!
WWDTM: Amanda Seyfried
And it was a memory that I will never, I just, I hold it so close and I really look forward to a third. So just so we could keep getting drunk together. Right.
Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!
WWDTM: Amanda Seyfried
I'm going to be honest, I'm not a good dancer. I really am not.
Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!
WWDTM: Amanda Seyfried
I don't know. Who can dance well or take themselves seriously when they're wearing that puffy vest?

Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!
WWDTM: Amanda Seyfried
Cool, actually. Because I'm so easily influenced. But yeah, so it was better that I didn't. Because then I wouldn't have been able to make fun of her, too. Because part of the show is getting on the inside and trying to breed some kind of compassion and show a three-dimensional person. But the other part is making fun of her. Like with the scene.
