## Transcript

>> For your Late- Night Highlight: Kristen Bell's pregnant threesomes. The House of Lies actress was with child while filming the Showtime show's new season and told Conan about scenes with Adam Brody, her boyfriend on the show.

>> And he affectionately refers to our sex scenes as our threesomes because my belly was just on top of --. And now, I can forever look at my daughter and go, " Oh, you were present for that ."

>> Yes, bizarre

>> but true. Bell was seven months pregnant. She even had to film a sex tape her character made and some prosthetics were involved. Her belly was cropped out of the scenes later. Bell gave birth to daughter Lincoln last March and recently told Chelsea Handler she's not going to be shy about the sexual material she's done in her career.

>> My guess is if she's anything like the other five billion people on the planet, she's gonna grow up and enjoy sex. So, I'm not gonna be shocked by that,

>> you know.

>> That's great.

>> That makes sense. The threesome thing's still kinda weird though. For TIME, I'm Lauren Zima.
