Jimmy began by bringing up the 1992 comedy, which earned her the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress at the 1993 Academy Awards.
“When you were filming it, did you have any idea that it would be that big of a hit or that you would win an Oscar?” he asked.
“No,” Marisa replied with a laugh. “I was just happy to have a job.”
Jimmy then mentioned that Vice President Kamala Harris had said that My Cousin Vinny was her favorite movie and that he’d heard some people include it in their curriculum in law school.
“That I knew, that part I knew. Many a lawyer have kind of used that line on me,” she revealed, adding that she’d been asked to come in and speak at their classes.
The host then said that while Marisa had been nominated for a number of awards over the years, there may be one honor she wasn’t yet aware of.
“There’s a sandwich named after you,” Jimmy said, explaining that she had inspired a sandwich at “the world-famous Lioni’s deli in Brooklyn.”
