Zoey Deutch says Jon Hamm called Amy Poehler during first scene of upcoming comedy ‘Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass’

Zoey Deutch said that Jon Hamm called Amy Poehler during the first scene she shot with Hamm for the upcoming comedy Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass, describing the moment as a notable, early reminder of how the project’s humor and star power were taking shape. Deutch made the comments while promoting the film, which she discussed in the context of her current schedule and her other recent work.

In the interview, Deutch contrasted the project with another release she is promoting, Minions & Monsters, describing her run of acting roles as spanning widely different tones. She positioned Celebrity Sex Pass as the more racy comedy of the two, while Minions & Monsters plays as a separate, family-facing project.

The Page Six report said Deutch discussed which star Hamm was contacting and when, referring specifically to the first scene of the film in which Deutch appeared alongside Hamm. She said Hamm called Poehler at that point, framing it as part of the on-set exchange between major performers and as an example of the connections among the cast.

Deutch’s remarks also highlighted her presence in the film as a leading on-screen figure, with the report indicating that she is the central performer being interviewed about the production and release details. The report did not provide additional official production facts such as filming dates, creative credits, distribution plans, or specific scene dialogue beyond the described moment about Hamm contacting Poehler.

The film’s title, as presented in the report, indicates a comedy built around celebrity culture and adult themes. Deutch’s emphasis on it being “more racy” than Minions & Monsters suggests the project targets adult audiences, which may affect how promotional material is handled across broadcast and online platforms and how theaters and streaming services prepare content warnings or audience guidance.

No official studio timeline or release date details were included in the Page Six account, and the report did not cite a production statement from the filmmakers. Given that limitation, the only confirmed elements for now are the Deutch interview claims, that Hamm and Poehler are connected through the call described during Deutch’s first scene, and that Deutch is promoting both Celebrity Sex Pass and Minions & Monsters in the same period.

If additional reporting or an official distributor update follows, next steps for audiences and industry observers would be to confirm the film’s release window, the extent of Poehler’s involvement (beyond Deutch’s account of the call), and the broader marketing plan for adult-oriented comedy content, including how outlets manage the project’s tone and ratings considerations.
