Outing a young artist is completely inexcusable. What a terrible thing to go through!

[@davidabbett7011]

She is simply magnetic.

[@EyeTunz]

The question was fine my god. And he allows a long uninterrupted answer. Besides this is ONE CLIP!

[@beelee4580]

Dude what is with the people in this comment section? This interviewer is FANTASTIC and if you all watched his video consistently, you'd know that.

[@dreamcoma2213]

She is such a bad ass.

[@livy9169]

Just started the book!

[@krautathaus]

If they had cut the video at 1:15 it would be at least a funny statement.

[@meaning1875]

Why would you out someone?

[@petercrowl9467]

I love her lip line

[@BuccWylde]

CB thinking: Yo dude, is there a question in our future anytime soon or are you gonna systematically re-cap my whole career?

[@ibidesign]

Interviewers need to learn viewers are not tuning in to listen to them...only their guests.

[@emilyelizabeth4365]

Johnny Shabazz I agree. He spends way too long asking a simple question in hopes to sound deep and edgy

[@byHexted]

I think you’re both full of shit

[@AlmaSpiteful]

She can date me. RIGHT NOW.

[@mjm33mjm]

The Terry Gross school of Journalism, taking 75 seconds to ask a question...

[@waynesteffen8459]

I counted a minute 17 before she got to say anything beyond “unhmm.”

[@jysmtl]

I think this was just a clip of a longer interview. Dunno. But Terry Gross is great.

[@PeterBondeVillain]

This guy loves to hear himself talk

[@adrianne8267]

Double Butthole classic mansplaining

[@MattFoleysGhost]

Maybe, in this clip where he's gingerly (and long windedly) trying to get at a sensitive question, but if in other ones you'll find find frequent comments about how he's one of the only interviewers out there that actually listens these days.

[@karashea7823]

Double Butthole it's like a comedy skit!! With the interviewer going on and on and saying nothing! Are you sure this is for real?😜

[@billysmolesworthy]

I think it's a lovely interview of Sam Jones by Carrie Brownstein. He really opens up and shares his feelings.

[@blueconversechucks]

he literally speaks for the first minute and fifteen seconds of the "interview". in fairness she seemed fine with it, it had some useful exposition, and I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt that he speaks for a much lower percentage of his other clips with her.

[@stephanieb663]

i had no idea she was gay

[@tabbypappy]

Cordelia B Me either! You'd think she & Fred had a history due to their chemistry

[@veronicaproctor184]

she's actually bisexual (not saying this to discredit if she were gay, she'd still be awesome either way) !

[@labidomosquito4462]

Yeah she eats the hairy clam, such a shame.

[@owlofathena1247]

@@labidomosquito4462 better than whatever you have to offer

[@wifeinwatercolor]

Emily E PERIODT

[@juanvasquez6535]

Its almost like an interviewer wants to steal the spotlight from the guest.

[@NickTann]

Does she really need to be there? It’s him, him, him

[@joelhenderson4450]

So you love interviews where the interviewer talks as much as the subject? You’ve come to the right place!

[@mpg3946]

Is this a joke? She doesn't talk.

[@absolutless]

Does she need to be there?

[@yongwoo1020]

You have to get to about 1:14 before you hear Carrie say anything. This interviewer is obnoxiously verbose.

[@bmcgoo6027]

In this 2 minute 46 second ' interview', 1 minute and 17 seconds is a guy with a beard telling us how he felt.

[@ralnaramse]

Taking up all the time and space in getting to the point of his question. Geez! So annoying.

[@candlelightministries]

Trying to act like you don’t like attention as a public person is so much bs Free publicity is worth its weight in gold … women also feed on gossip and drama

[@ThriftyBoss]

Sooooooooo

[@bpentium]

Who cares?

[@cinemar]

I don't see how it's a bad thing. How long was she planning on hiding a relationship she was in from her parents?

[@isabeau82]

It's her story to tell, she should get to decide who knows what when.

[@michellegriff13]

WOW! I never would have believed someone else saying it or reading that she is a lesbian. I could totally see her and Fred best friends forever with benefits! One of my closest girl-friends came out about 9-10 y/a after breaking up with her sons dad. I knew she was bi-sexual, she is gorgeous, and just doesn't carry herself where it is obvious or even noticeable. I've seen plenty of lesbians that dress ladylike, wear makeup, style their hair, etc but there is always something that gives it away to me but I can't find it with Carrie Brownstein.

[@ChaoticGoodDeeds]

She is not a lesbian, she is bisexual. Her friendship with Fred has always been non-sexual.

[@lospolloshermanos5659]

It's hilarious that she was offended by being outed by SPIN, considering all the people and issues she makes fun of on Portlandia.

[@jysmtl]

She didn’t go after individuals. Just caricatures.
