Cynthia Erivo Nails Dax Shepard After He Asks ‘Inappropriate’ Question About Her Wiping Habits

Cynthia Erivo kept her cool when 'Armchair Expert' host Dax Shepard asked her an 'inappropriate' question about how she wipes with those long nails.

“I guess my question is does the tissue go on the tip of the fingernails or do you try to get the tissue…,” Shepard asked, getting into the nitty gritty of the toileting habits of the actress who is an Oscar short of becoming an EGOT winner. Erivo once again promised him that that was not the case, because the tissue is on the job, which led to Shepard — who said in 2021 that he and wife Kristen Bell sometimes don’t bathe their daughters for “ five, six days ” — proposing that if he had such formidable talons he would wrap his whole hand in TP to make a kind of bathroom “mitten.” Showing remarkable patience, Erivo explained, “I fold.” Saying she was not offended by the question, but rather “annoyed,” she added, “I get it, but also, I’m a functioning adult and I’ve never walked around smelling like… you know… Here’s the thing, there are people who do not have nails who need to check how they’re wiping.”
