Jennifer Lawrence calls it like she sees it—all while remaining charming, of course.

On Thursday, Nov. 21, the Catching Fire star wrapped up her international press tour with an appearance on The Daily Show With Jon Stewart. And when it became clear the political satirist hadn't done much to prepare for this sit-down, Jennifer took the opportunity to (endearingly!) call him out on it.

It started when Jon brought up a picture of a young Helen Mirren, catching Jennifer, 23, completely by surprise. In attempting to explain his reasoning for the seemingly random comparison shot, Jon admitted he brought it up because, "I don't prepare for these very well!"

"That's actually what your producers and everyone involved in the show tell everyone," the Oscar winner quipped. "They're like, 'He's not really gonna know a lot about the movie or about you.'"

"Normally you have like a pre-interview and you kinda go over like bullet points of things we want to touch on," she said. "[Jon's producers] are like, 'No, no you guys are just gonna talk. He's just probably not gonna ask you anything about the movie. He might not ask you anything."

Well, he didn't ask about Catching Fire (although he read its release date alive from the teleprompter) but he did ask Jennifer about Helen Mirren and, naturally, bring up her haircut.

"I got a CNN breaking news alert when you got your haircut," he said.

"Oh my gosh, I know" she said. "That was seriously the weirdest thing that has ever happened to me in my entire life…Can you imagine getting your hair cut and then finding out about it on the news? That was the weirdest thing that's ever happened to me."

After Jen wrapped up her non-interview with Jon, she and boyfriend Nicholas Hoult were snapped leaving the Daily Show together. Her X-Men costar was also spotted at the Catching Fire afterparty in London last week.

Nicholas is clearly quite the supportive beau, but don't get too carried away. Contrary to false reports, a source tells E! News he and Jennifer are definitely not engaged.

May the odds be ever in his favor!
