Sarah Silvermanhas a few tricks up her sleeve — well, at least one.
“I was alone one night and I go, ‘I really want to watch aColumbo— do you mind?’ And he was like, ‘No, I don’t mind.’ And I watched thisColumbo[episode] and it had a magician in it … and theyrevealed a magic trick,” said Silverman, 50. “And I’m not a fan of magic but I was like, ‘Oh my God, I’m gonna do this when Rory’s here.’ "
When Albanese got home, “I go, ‘Pick a number from 1 to 5.’ And he said 3, and I go, ‘Look under the blender,’ " Silverman recalled to Meyers, 47. “He looks under the blender and there’s a note. It says, ‘I knew you would pick No. 3.’ He was like, ‘No way!’ And we’re laughing and I felt pretty cool.”

But then, Albanese, 43, asked his girlfriend, " ‘What is it? Like, a psychology thing? Like, most people pick 3?’ "
“And I go, ‘No.’ He goes, ‘What if I picked No. 1?’ And I go, ‘Look under the stapler,’ " Silverman said with a grin. “We were laughing so hard because it’s so dumb! Like, it’s just leg work. Magic is just leg work.”
However, theMarry Meactress told Meyers that she isn’t a fan of magic in general.
“I’m not proud of this, but it enrages me. I feel like I would be somebody who would, like, burn a witch at the stake in Salem or something,” she said. “I don’t know what it is. It’s not rage but I’m just like, ‘So what? He learned a trick.’ But I get that’s what comedy is too, so.”
