Anna Faris brings two iconic comedy eras back into one room.
Innately and forever funny gal Anna Faris drops by The Kelly Clarkson Show, bringing all the genuine hilarity, delightful kookiness and comedy-history goodness we could possibly need.
The visit turns into a full-circle celebration of two roles that helped make Faris one of the defining comedy performers of the 2000s.
First up: her infamous The House Bunny demon voice.
In the 2008 comedy, Faris plays former Playboy Bunny Shelley Darlingson, who uses a deep, growling voice to repeat people’s names and commit them to memory. It remains one of those beautifully strange character choices that only becomes funnier with time.
Naturally, Kelly Clarkson could not let Anna leave without attempting the voice herself.

The pair build up to the moment before letting those low, gravelly demon tones loose inside the studio. It is an instant transport back to the days when Shelley was teaching the Zeta house how to command a room, locate its confidence and remember somebody’s name through mild vocal possession.
It is a tiny gag that became a major piece of Y2K comedy history.
The conversation then moves even further back to the franchise that introduced Faris to movie audiences in the first place.
Anna reflects on her remarkable 26-year connection to Scary Movie, beginning with the original horror spoof in 2000 and continuing through the brand-new reunion.
Faris is back as the wonderfully chaotic Cindy Campbell alongside Regina Hall as Brenda Meeks, with original creators and stars Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans and Keenen Ivory Wayans returning to the franchise.
The new film reunites Faris, Hall, Marlon and Shawn for the first time since Scary Movie 2, sending the original crew back into a landscape now overflowing with reboots, requels, elevated horror, legacy sequels and endless “final chapters” that are never actually final.
There is something genuinely sweet beneath the silliness as Anna explains how fortunate she feels to return to the role after more than a quarter century.
Cindy Campbell was Faris’s first major film character. She arrived as a young performer willing to throw her entire face, body and voice into every absurd situation—and immediately demonstrated the fearless commitment that would define her career.
Twenty-six years later, that same commitment is still there.
The clip becomes a proper back-to-the-future moment: a little Scary Movie, a little The House Bunny and plenty of Anna Faris remaining completely incapable of entering a conversation without making the entire room funnier.
Kelly is the ideal scene partner because she does not merely request the bit and move along. She joins the kookiness, attempts the demon voice and lets the segment become the sort of loose, unpredictable hang that makes daytime television worth watching.
Press play on all thee Y2K nostalgia, future-facing franchise fun and full-circle comedy madness right below.
