It can be a high-pressure situation, joining a throuple. You’re always wondering if you’re up to snuff in comparison to the existing partners. At least that’s what we hear; it’s not like anyone’s invited us yet. On The Last Man on Earth, January Jones plays a lady who ends up dating a couple, and on last night’s Late Late Show With James Corden, she was asked whom she’d pick if she had to enter a real-life version of that arrangement. She initially picked Mary Steenburgen and Ted Danson, but in a strictly nonsexual context; she just wants them to adopt her. But if it had to get freaky, she’d pick Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes, which is like saying you’d love to be nominated as a member of the secret cabal that runs Planet Earth — sure, it’d be great, but that grouping is sadly closed off to the public.
