[@ccramit]

One of the most versatile actors from SNL ever. He was never a big name like Ferrell or Hader, but he was always one of my favorites. I miss him being on SNL so much.

[@Moekoffee2001]

Seth avoids the elephant in the room

[@256k_]

all i could think of is: is Bobby a jackal or was this just a pure coincidence!?!?!

[@lynnhettrick7588]

That is pretty funny!

[@jeannekelly5198]

Babar! Classic

[@1971ahtom]

🥁

[@SteveSmartPoetryandMusic]

Yep, definitely Corrections bait! Is it pronounced Bab-ar, Ba-bar, or possibly is it really pronounced... Bob-ar? Bobby Moynihan, Secret Jackal 😁

[@shalley22]

Can’t believe Seth didn’t call out Bobby’s shirt after the Babar saga on corrections.

[@iamscythed]

Intentionally pissing off us Jackals seems to be working.

[@barcelonachair6487]

probably a licensing/copyright thing.

[@aedwa021]

I'm choosing to believe that Bobby wore it intentionally because of corrections

[@PaulMcCannWebBuilder]

Surprised he wasn't also wearing a 'knit' hat, and talking more about Legos.

[@dogtato]

he probably couldn't because he forgot how to pronounce it

[@ChipCain]

I miss him in SNL. Comedy legend.

[@JillKnapp]

Bobby always has this little twinkle in his eye and it's the cutest thing. He's so freakin' great.

[@CNWhatImSaiyan]

I hope by the time I’m near 50, I still have that same palpable level of innocence & joy Bobby exudes with everything he does today & beyond🥰

[@MarkLumsley]

What a great human being Bobby is. Protect this man!

[@CNWhatImSaiyan]

This dude gets more & more huggable with every new appearance🥰

[@BenGoldNYC]

I’ve met Bobby a couple of times, he’s truly a sweet, kind person. He’s also one of the funniest people to come out of SNL in the past 20 years.

[@CNWhatImSaiyan]

One thing I’ve noticed over the years is that with whatever new show or movie like this, he never misses the chance to express his amazement with his child co-stars or his hopes & belief that we just need a more love-filled world. Never in nearly 20 years that I would find the guy behind Drunk Uncle to be one of my favorite, most inspiring people ever. I’ll always cherish this panda bear🖤🐼🤍

[@hojichaisfarsuperiortochai9309]

I miss him in SNL. He was great. ❤

[@datgrrl5698]

...no, no you did not... because neither Bobby or Seth are on a streaming platform boasting whom they have met... only loners and losers who never accomplish the kind of success either man has accomplished troll the yt comments...

[@notvenom1152]

"He's David Pumpkins, man!"

[@rgs8970]

A real minefield, here, with the Babar shirt and the Lego Star Wars talk!

[@nannerz1994]

He called it Jedis which is the same thing as calling it Legos

[@Aeronor2001]

@@nannerz1994 It's of course Jedi bricks.

[@razzledazzyl]

Saw Bobby’s promo for the show on insta yesterday and was praying he wouldn’t change out of the Babar sweater. So awesome! 😂😂😂

[@Scott_G]

Drunk Uncle was the best

[@sailorjupoak]

Bobby's a jackal! YES!

[@NewMessage]

Drunk Uncle needs a movie!

[@violetedge83]

Yesssss, and it opens with a failed intervention 😂🤣😂

[@eastportland]

With costar Peter Dinklage of course

[@roscoemuttley]

Its pretty much just him getting loaded in bars

[@llkeithh]

Loved his characters Drunk Uncle and Anthony. Turns head to one side, then the other, "Eh, d'you hear about this new thing, Seth?"

[@christinan9989]

The entire interview I was waiting for them to discuss “Intermittent Fasting”. The clip was over before I realized IF was referring to movie name despite the fact they mentioned it repeatedly.

[@BloodInkFilms]

Seth's anxiety must've skyrocketed as soon as Lego was brought up.

[@scottjohnston3098]

Bobby is good on everything I've seen/heard/read whatever. His guest stuff on "how did this get made" is great

[@lashendawest7509]

We love bobby moynihan

[@likebot.]

That shirt is canon. Is it a nod to Corrections Ep. # 1?

[@siobhanm717]

I have a deep and sincere appreciation for his t-shirt. 😍

[@thunderousapplause]

I googled it because I want it. It's a cashmere sweater. It's $228 and it's sold out.

[@MachaMongRuad]

​@thunderousapplause jesus 💀💰

[@dimitreze]

Bobar

[@Evan.Orison]

I luv the Babar theme song * (inner child smiling and skip dancing around my bedroom 😊😊😊)*

[@OakleyMoodie]

@@dimitreze OK. Lost my sh&t laughing. You are GOOD. You're like Putin if he was a comedian.

[@amyjackson8725]

He is a jackal! Seth made Wally's mustache sound like rudy guiliani😂

[@actionstudios9502]

I will forever know Bobby as the voice for Panda

[@Frank.E.Valley]

My man Fourvel our here being nice and not threatening to stab anyone

[@zizinnnn]

his skit at the hotel with louis ck is legendaaaary😂❤

[@sailordaigurren8225]

Just saw IF last night. Delightful movie

[@BigDizl24-7]

Bobby is awesome,i really want drunk uncle to pop up somewhere, anywhere,i still watch the old weekend update skits from time to time, classic, no more drunk uncle? not in my America, LINDA!!!

[@thomasw.5344]

I just binge watched drunk uncle the other day. Pure genius

[@devinmccloud]

The best skit ever: cork soakers!

[@asrano88]

Miss bobby❤

[@ervicito77]

Bobby is honestly one of my faves on SNL. Also, I was today year's old when I learned that he and I share the exact same birthday (and year), along with Kerry Washington!

[@pmorse3653]

Bobby, You were so good on SNL!

[@russellbarry963]

Bobby needs to host during the 50th season of SNL.

[@swolltits3927]

Bobby is an all-timer for me. He's one of the Alumns that I'm watching/listening to anything he does. Chozen and Oswald Cobblepot are truly inspired. Even more so since we all know he's Batman!

[@TheGiggleMasterP]

I know him from his days back at College Humor and Derrick Comedy!

[@mrchocklat]

“Bro rape” is a classic.

[@Eidlones]

The only crime here, is that me and Chad aren't having a wonderful time!

[@CNWhatImSaiyan]

You’re a bad man, and you are the f-FRIEND of a bad man; this is no good!

[@rd0dave]

Every time I see him I picture him screaming at the guy squeezing bread in Mystery Team 😂

[@TheGiggleMasterP]

"Why is there no Chad?!"

[@jamestford3963]

This bar is STICKY!

[@irock2403]

Babar the elephant😂

[@ryane397]

I hope Drunk Uncle or Crispino shows up on SNL.

[@jewellllll]

Drunk uncle is the best ❤

[@joefurneaux]

Moynihan was perfect. And Thank god Seth and every broadcaster holds a pencil or marker during interviews. Especially when there’s nothing to write on. Next up.. gum.

[@billthecat666]

Everything he did on SNL was perfect. I miss his sketches.

[@Unbreakable1986]

I only discovered The Awesomes a few years ago, I really want to see it come back

[@hojichaisfarsuperiortochai9309]

If that’s the sweater I found online, it’s 228 dollars. Unfortunately, it’s sold out. 😢 It’s made by the Diana black sheep sweater people.

[@xo_edmo]

I fuckin love and miss Bobby!!!

[@syniron6670]

DRUNK UNCLE !!! 🍺🍻🍻🍻🍻🍺🥃

[@alumpyhorse]

legend !

[@KtotheL]

he should be in the NEXT sasquatch movie ! i could see him as the lazy dad

[@Catherinzsl]

0:03 Seth channelling a bit of Zendaya @ the Met Gala

[@vanessawhitneypro]

YAYYYYY, Bobby!

[@TheCheat420]

Hey Seth what's the name of the elephant on Bobby's shirt?

[@85jongo]

Dang, I was expecting his discussion on IF to be about the benefits of intermittent fasting. Seriously though, props to the Babar shirt.

[@soloseraphimheartsong3710]

Ribblett!!

[@ironscatman]

Jedi Bob mention

[@TheRogueStatesman]

Bobby Moynihan is such an under-rated comedian... and his laugh is great!

[@davidbehrens4760]

Bobby Moynihan is the Artie Lange of not being John Belushi

[@muoian]

The babar energy ❤️❤️ 🐘 👑 👵

[@jgrim03]

Loafy shouts out Sonic and Wade!

[@mendozaartstudiollc1354]

SNL alumni are the best.

[@noellejohnson9822]

Babar 💚

[@CNWhatImSaiyan]

Hail to the king, baby👑🐘

[@lynnhettrick7588]

Woohoo, a UCONN shoutout!

[@file1271]

BABAR!!!! 😍 (the elephant)

[@TehNarrator]

eeeeehhhh, I'm pretty sure it was Walgreeens, Seth

[@DNTXPCTMCH]

Ben❤ my kids are obsessed with sonic

[@nannerz1994]

Bobby is a confirmed jackal He is wearing a Babar shirt

[@naguale]

He looks like he's starring in a biopic about Wayne Knight.

[@cookinma]

I miss drunk uncle!

[@nuevillanueva803]

Bobby is becoming an american voice acting God! I wouldn't be surprised if he get a role in a box office anime in the future.

[@molliewatts6445]

It's a minefield of Seth trying not to mention Babar or Lego in this segment!

[@merckin_around]

Im still trying to figure out what his beef was with a piece of toast.

[@CNWhatImSaiyan]

Semi-related, but I’m absolutely in love with the suits that he wore for the premier of If and Unfrosted (Blue-based and Cherry Pop Tart, respectively) I’d also absolutely love seeing this friend-shaped bundle of joy in more everything if only just for that (and give a big mascot a hug as a bonus💜🩷💛🩵)

[@lynnhettrick7588]

Wally!! (shave the mustache)

[@ttacking_you]

Man, i gotta, at least, get in Bobby Moynihan shape!?

[@CNWhatImSaiyan]

It’s dubbed “Friend-Shape”🤣

[@ttacking_you]

@@CNWhatImSaiyan yeah that's where the girls put me

[@ttacking_you]

@@CNWhatImSaiyan no im in ashamed to be seen with shape

[@michellegermaine2942]

Assume the Babar jumper is an ode to Corrections ❤❤

[@MattSeremet]

Thought that was Elephants on Tour, but after a google wow that Babar... oof

[@csweet207]

WALLY!

[@eatmoremusic3650]

Why are the police outside!? They should be inside, looking at the prints, from fingers!

[@CorpsmanPrivateer]

Bobby on IF? Who cares. Bobby on OF? I'm there.

[@DNTXPCTMCH]

Nature cat! Why does no one mention when they are on PBS shows?

[@JizzyJazz]

saw this thumbnail and was initially like WTF? when did boogie2988 get on late night?

[@CNWhatImSaiyan]

Boogie wishes he had an ounce of his talent, looks & general affection🤣

[@lyssums]

He is a legend! Sorry Seth but Bobby's roll on SNL was The. Best.

[@jobejeffers9177]

I miss Drunk Uncle!!

[@jamesmiller7849]

He is starting to look and sound like Wayne Knight

[@LycanLink]

I hope in this interview they talk about Bobby's time workin' with Donald Glover on the website DerrickComedy back in the early 2000s. ^_^

[@LycanLink]

😢

[@Evan.Orison]

Loafy!!!!!

[@olihhayes]

RIP Ass Dan 2024

[@PAVEL-JAKL]

Ken Bone 🤭

[@nannerz1994]

4:38 He did it again! PLURAL JEDI IS JEDI! While talking about LEGO! Just like LEGO, is not LEGOs plural Jedi is not Jedis!! Especially when you're holding up a picture of a Lego Jedi. Jesus Seth.

[@user-gt3yz4tb8g]

ASS DAN Eternal !!!!!!

[@CancellerPalpatine]

Pay Bobby. Wouldn't have watched this vid without him.

[@jonsimpson6985]

Who wrote the movie. Pearl Jam’s Jeremy also had a bad day.

[@600DBY3]

Babar

[@Moondancin]

I've been a big fan of Bobby for a long time. I really hope he gets his health in check for his family. He doesn't look well.

[@thejessicamorrison]

No Ducktales shout out? ☹️

[@DC202REZ]

Bobby wearing a babar sweater

[@DolceFarnienteABC123]

The laugh track really saved this interview.

[@OakleyMoodie]

OMG. The audience seems tepid, but I am dieting over here. Holy F*ck.

[@ivnmrtnz]

they really ripped off foster's home for imaginary friends.

[@Oneshot8242]

I actually thought he was going to talk about intermittent fasting.

[@The_Infamous_Boogyman]

😅😅😅😅😅

I’m glad Hollywood un-canceled Bobby.

[@TT-wi8mq]

What did he do ? Or this a troll comment ?

[@Frank.E.Valley]

@@BetteLouWho Maybe they're confusing him with Horatio Sanz? that's my best guess

[@The_Infamous_Boogyman]

The fact that Bobby is still alive is amazing. Eat a salad brother. We need more "the mayor"

[@wlb2j]

Big doesn't mean unhealthy necessarily. He may outlive us all.

[@CNWhatImSaiyan]

The way he looks that good while pushing 50 (Unfrosted had him shaved down to his mustache and his babyface is still intact) while still having all that youthful energy including as Jayden may be a testament to that👀

[@hojichaisfarsuperiortochai9309]

Not nice ☹️

[@nannerz1994]

Bro you're so gross
