“I’ve always had good experiences with peyote, but when we were together, it was awful,” Fonda said Thursday on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.”
“I was totally paranoid…it was the worst,” she continues. “I love it, but I wouldn’t do peyote unless you came with a guide.”
“Like a magician,” added Tomlin. “As I am”

“I think you need some peyote, yes, and I’ll be your guide,” said Fonda, emphasizing the “I,” as she pointed to Tomlin and gave her necromancer a thumbs up.
