Reminding the singer of their past encounters, McCarthy revealed: “We’ve met three times before. And you’ve even met my daughters and one of my dogs.” Then, making a surprising revelation, McCarthy shared, “Since you ask, I actually met you in the womb because your mom was my first improv teacher. And guess who she was pregnant with? Was you!”
Eilish responded with a bemused “Wow, okay…that’s a lot.”

Keeping the fan spirit alive, McCarthy asked Eilish to sign her metallic dress. Eilish hesitated, not wanting to “ruin” the look, but McCarthy persisted.
In a playful gesture, Eilish grabbed a black marker and began writing her name on McCarthy’s forehead, adding a small heart. He even covered McCarthy’s mouth with his hand when the star asked about Eilish and his brother Finneas’ songwriting process.

McCarthy’s enthusiasm did not diminish when he suggested, “Would you sign my face?” Eilish, ever gracious, took the hilarious request in stride. The backstory to this charming interaction lies in McCarthy’s past revelation that Eilish’s mother, Maggie Baird, was her improv teacher.
In a 2022 appearance in See what happens live, McCarthy praised Baird as an “incredible teacher” and praised Eilish and Finneas as “crazy talented” and “creative.”
