“I met Emma when we were in zombieland together in 2009, and since then, I write little magazine articles and little things on McSweeney’s, and she’s the only person — I’m including my mom here — who would take little screenshots of it over the last 15 years and send me things like, ‘This is such a funny line!’

” Eisenberg, 41, said from the stage on Saturday, Feb. 22. He went on to say Stone, 36, is “the most famous person I know, and yet also the most dedicated to encouraging me as a writer.”

“I think about her not as my producer, but like a fairy godmother — that I am riding the coattails of her goodwill,” Eisenberg told the crowd. “Thanks, Emma,” he concluded, as Stone could be seen getting visibly emotional in the audience.
