Emma Stone joined Druski’s “Saturday Night Live” monologue for a joke about their upcoming comedy, “The Catch.” In the exchange reported by Variety, he claimed to play her love interest. She offered a considerably less romantic interpretation. Source
After introducing Stone and saying he’d just finished filming his first movie with her, Druski added: “I’m actually playing her love interest in the new movie we just did.” Source
“I think you might have misread that in those scenes because we weren’t love interested in the film,” Stone joked, as quoted by Variety. She continued the gag by suggesting that his interpretation explained the way he’d been looking at her during their scenes. A tough script note to receive from your supposedly romantic co-star.

“The Catch” is an upcoming Universal Pictures comedy directed by Stone’s husband, Dave McCary, a former “SNL” segment director and writer. Source
The exchange also found time to revoke a compliment. Druski told Stone he loved her in “Bugonia,” prompting her to reply, “Oh my god, really?”
