MTV UK released a promotional video on May 15, 2026, featuring Anna Faris playing alongside her iconic Scary Movie co-stars Marlon Wayans and Shawn Wayans. The nostalgic reunion has ignited a wave of affection across the podcasting landscape for the beloved comedy star.
On the hit food podcast Off Menu with Ed Gamble and James Acaster, co-host James Acaster was eager to welcome her, announcing: "Together we own a dream restaurant. Every single week we invite in a guest and ask them their favorite ever starter, main course, dessert, side dish, and drink, not in that order. And this week, our guest is Ana Faris." The excitement was shared by co-host Ed Gamble, who admitted that "My, my catchphrase on the group chat has been, 'I love Ana Faris'" whenever her work comes up.
The episode, declared with the opening, "This is The Off Menu Menu of Ana Faris.", allowed the actress to reflect on her career in comedy. With the promotional campaign fueling speculation of a broader franchise return, fans of Anna Faris are eager to see if this podcast run signals a full-scale cinematic comeback.
