D'Arcy Carden revealed that her "The Five-Star Weekend" co-star Regina Hall pulled off a hilarious prank, lying to Carden's brother about being an editor on Disney's "Moana." Carden praised Hall's comedic timing during an interview, describing her as "really quick and really, really funny."

Her willingness to highlight Hall's humor suggests the two developed genuine rapport on set. The comment reflects how comedians often bond through shared appreciation of each other's comedic instincts.
"The Five-Star Weekend," directed by Gil Junger, reunites Hall with a cast focused on female-driven comedy and drama.
