Before Finding 'The League' Jason Mantzoukas Nearly Quit Acting

[@austingwiazdowski2469]

I've really taken a liking to Jason Mantzoukas recently. He's funny, very real, and seems nice and genuine, not like a lot of the characters he plays. He did a great video for that record store where they show what kind of music they listen to it. I forget what it was called but he's got really interesting and diverse taste too.

It's the Amoeba "What's in my Bag" series! They always have such interesting people & it's a fun insight into their personality to find out what they pick. Also check out the "How Did This Get Made" podcast with Jason, Paul Scheer (from the League), & June Diane Raphael. They rip on awful movies & it's great!

@@ozkey1558 Yup, thats it! Thanks, I'll check it out!

[@codygibson8875]

check him out in the good place on netflix

[@YouFightLikeACow]

Jason is a really great guest. He fits the format.

[@charliebak1505]

I loved him in Brooklyn nine-nine

[@piteusx8440]

All his peers, producers, and directors say Jason is a thoughtful caring nice human being off the camera. They really like him. On the camera, the dude is crazy and funny.

Sam Jones seems like a pretty great interviewer. He acts like a therapist. Ask a probing question, and then get out of the way. He anticipates a lull and has another probing question ready. Nice work, Jason Mantzoukas is an underappreciated talent.

[@kevinw712]

well cause frankly it's more like a conversation than an interview. He's not someone you see is clearly rattling off one totally preconceived question at a time, seeming to not even listen to what the answer is, much less engaging a follow up back and forth.

[@lindan.137]

Yeah and unlike some interviewers, who just let the guest talk for the audience but don't feel they need to actually listen to them and do these like, fake "whoa's" and "that's interesting", this guy seems to be actually affected by what the guests are saying, he really connects to their stories emotionally, and I think that's why he does so well with follow-up questions etc

[@snavisTM]

Wow you guys can sure tell alot from a 4 min video LOL...

[@micahclawrence]

Well put

[@troy8420]

@@snavisTM He has more interviews than this LOL...

[@johnfarmakis8518]

I can’t count how many times I saw Jason on the UCB house team Mother for next to nothing. Amazing live performer. A lot of passion

[@rokeeffe91]

Aww... He woulda been great on the daily show!!!! Love you Jason...

[@uhurus2]

Seriously, I wonder what made him not get the part

[@mary-tk2is]

Jason Mantzoukas is crazy funny. He's great in everything I've seen him in & his commentary is amazing on How Did This Get Made? Serious laugh out loud stuff. 5 Stars. Happy he's found success!!

[@Aubee89]

Love these intimate looks into these actors. Great work, great interview, great youtube channel. Thanks for all the content!

[@frankelder1158]

Jason is such a solid, good dude.

[@notlobparrot3057]

I don't know why Off Camera videos aren't way more popular. Great guests, great host...is it the Black and White photography that turns people off? I mean, WTF? Another classic blunder courtesy of the KZbin algorithm.

[@ecrhoad]

i'm colorblind and never realized this show was black and white until you said it lol

[@kevinw712]

@@ecrhoad you're FULLY colorblind? only because that is EXTREMELY rare, to literally see no color in anything. Most colorblind people, including myself, it's about having trouble distinguishing between just a couple certain colors. For me it's blue/green. They can often really sort of blend together for me, but I do still generally have the ability to see color in the world.

[@hayberdasher8625]

It's because stupid people avoid black and white

[@TheBaptist07]

He did amazing as fifth banana tho

[@kbob9625]

He would have been hilarious on the daily show.

[@WTMarx]

Balance is the key.

[@Ddealer]

I'm digging the boots Jason is wearing, anyone have an idea what brand?

[@JuanLopez-lp8ig]

Red Wings, those boots are around $200 but they are well with the money, they last a really long time, I had a pair that lasted a good 5 years in heavy working conditions

[@justinsullivan5839]

Feel bad for Jason... dude is deathly allergic to eggs.

[@jonadams5547]

Rafi Bomb!

I've never seen The League. How bad is Rafi?

[@zufolotuft1738]

Jason mantzoukas did you know your hot? Just kidding of course you did

[@IntergalacticInterviews]

Love Jason so this is an honest, not intentionally offensive question...what's going on with his skin/nose/corners of his eyes?
