Kristin Chenowethis reminiscing about a wild party she attended at late writer-directorNora Ephron’s house — and how fellow guestNicole Kidmanoffered her a helping hand!
“Nora just thought it was so funny that I’d never tried marijuana,” Chenoweth said in the clip, which was also posted toInstagram. “And she knows I love chocolate brownies. So she made chocolate brownies. She’s like, ‘Look Kristin, I made chocolate brownies.’ I was like ‘Thank you!’
For more on Kristin Chenoweth recalling when Nora Ephron got her stoned, listen below to our daily podcast on PEOPLE Every Day.
“So I had a chocolate brownie, and it didn’t — I had like half of it, and I was like… it didn’t taste right,” thePushing Daisiesactress continued. “Next thing I know I’m under the table.Nicole Kidmanis like, ‘Do you want me to take you home?’ And I’m like, ‘Who are you? Do you like me? Do you like me? Do you like me?’ "
Chenoweth, who costarred with Kidman in the 2005 comedyBewitched,went on to say that she “will never do that again.”
The next day on the set of the film, the actress remembered how Ephron, who died in 2012, asked Chenoweth if she was mad at her for the hilarious and awkward incident.
“I was like, ‘You wrote [When]Harry Met Sally. I’m not mad at you. But never do that to me again, please,’ " she said, adding, “I love her, I miss her, I miss her so much.”

Last year,Rosie O’Donnellalso reminisced about prolific writer-director Ephron, who directed her in the 1993 hitSleepless in Seattle.
In an interview withVulturepublished last August, the 59-year-old actress and comedian explained how Ephron was quite a stickler when it came to performing her script word-for-word.
“I had this really long two-page scene that was cut down in the movie about [her character Becky’s husband] Rick and how we got in the car and he hit the tree,” O’Donnell said at the time. “I’m doing this whole thing, and she yells, ‘Cut! It was ‘atree,’ not ‘thetree.’’ So I tried it two more times so I could get as close as I could, and it’s not that I was rewriting — it was the longest speech I had ever said in a film in my career up to that point. She kept saying ‘Cut’ when I wouldn’t get it right.”

“We broke for lunch and when I came back, one of the grips had taped the whole thing on his leg, away from where she could see,” theformer talk show hostcontinued. “I sort of looked at his leg and read it. And she said, ‘Cut! That was perfect!’ And what was perfect were the words that she wrote.”
When it came to working with Ephron, O’Donnell added that actors had to get every word right, down to the “a"s and “the"s.
“When people write and direct, it’s their words. They’re connected to them,” O’Donnell said. “There were some performances where it was largely improvisation, likeLeague of Their Own.”
