Keke Palmer is more popular than popcorn at the movies!

While visiting *The View* on Wednesday, the Emmy-winning actress was asked about a recent * *game in which celebrities were asked where — and with whom — they’d like to sit at the movie theater. And, as it turns out, the hottest spot in the cinema wasn’t the center row, but right next to Palmer.

The ‘*Burbs* star could be seen blushing and hiding her face as the video played onscreen, as stars including Mandy Moore, Lewis Pullman, and LaKeith Stanfield all selected her as their seatmate.

“They are spot on,” Alyssa Farah Griffin remarked after the clip. “What is your reaction to that?”

“Oh my gosh, well, it just makes me feel so giddy,” Palmer confessed. “And then I’m like, I don’t want to disappoint y’all so I better bring out my best work!”

She added, “It’s just so sweet. It really is.”

Moore was the first person to sit next to Palmer in the game, but certainly not the last. “I feel like being next to Keke, like, we could kiki a little bit,” she explained.

Stanfield, who stars with Palmer in Boots Riley’s new film *I Love Boosters*, then placed himself on the opposite side of the actress. “I realized I should probably just sit next to a human that I like a lot, so I chose Keke Palmer to sit next to her,” he said.

Things got tricky, though, when Lewis and his dad, Bill Pullman, made the “executive decision” to remove Palmer’s token from her spot and move her to sit with them. “We were worried that you would sit in front of somebody that blocked your view,” Bill said, pointing out that Palmer was now sitting behind Grogu. “You won’t have that problem!”

Daphne Zuniga filled in her opposite side before Palmer was stolen *again* — this time by live-action *Moana* actress Catherine Lagaʻaia. “Every interview I see of her, she looks so fun,” she confessed.

*The View* airs weekdays on ABC. See how the game unfolded in the clip above.
