Charlyne Yi - Who Is Weirder, She Or Craig? - 2/2 Visits In Chron. Order

[@labber]

i never saw 2 people understanding each other by not understanding

it happens sometimes. i hated someone and then we magically got along based off mutual hatred. it wasn't that intense. more like we were testing each other and realized its easier to get along. this has nothing to do with this and i'm blabbing dpsjgdp sfgjp sfjg fpg

You didn't know this?? I've been doing this since childhood! Or have I?

[@avedic]

She somehow comes across as both supremely sincere....and sarcastic....at the exact same time. And I have zero idea which is which. I like her.

[@photomanwilliams4147]

Agreed, LOL early on her first appearance , she said she was writing poetry about whiskey and cigars. I was thinking how strange of a topic for a young women. Five min. later, Oh now I get it, I was sucked in by her sarcastic remark that she can seem so sincere.

[@tomitstube]

charlyne is really clever, and quick. you could tell craig got thrown a couple times by her snarky humor, but once he caught on to her style it really flowed between the two of them, wise choice to give her more time.

Love when comedians combat wits. Craig is tough to beat. She surprised him.

[@RicoChavez1]

She's the only one that has made him pause and really work. All the other banter with the ladies is cutesy sexual, but this is leveled *UP*!

[@aeonm9857]

Yea he was struggling during the first one to be wholesome

[@Katya_Lastochka]

RicoChavez1 Well, to be fair, she's a comedian too and has to promote herself more.

[@AXharoth]

she comes with interesting stuff to say like no one else

[@tropickman]

What through him off is that she is a child with an unusual appearance, at least as far as the show is concerned.

[@riveravaldez]

She is *extremely* fast. Wit, sweet and funny.

[@AXharoth]

the only problem is her laugh xD

[@CaptainAMAZINGGG]

That's what happens when you're weird AF. It's a great place to live :3

[@Cyba_IT]

Not sure if she is really nieve or it's an act. Either way is funny and is a perfect counterpoint to Craigs dry wit

[@mr.coconut2310]

Cyba IT usually when you're not sure, it's a bit of both. Charlyne has time to perfect the art, butI think the only one who's perfected it would be someone like Norm macdonald

[@Cyba_IT]

@@mr.coconut2310 Good point Ruby and yes, Norm has the "appearing to be simple but is actually sharp and witty" routine down pat. :)

[@terrywbreedlove]

Craig was a little unsure of the situations she put him in. A comic master piece

[@Brrainz]

I have never seen Craig speechless. It happened twice with her. I could literally see him think about how to react - something I have never seen in the hundreds of hours I’ve seen with him so far. PRICELESS

[@NormanTiner]

That's how I felt when Norm Macdonald was on Craig's show but in reverse. Norm usually is never shaken or stumped but Craig threw him for a loop. Always interesting how personalities play together.

[@astropgn]

Me too! I didn't get it at first, only when she said it that I realized she asked him to drink water because he was austere lol

[@pazz]

She doesn’t seem to have anything really to plug or promote, I feel like Craig just met Charlyne, thought she was funny and wanted to show her off to the world, and I thank him for that.

[@odessa745]

I think Judd Apatow did it first

[@Dung30n]

I agree, just an off hand mention of a Poetry book in the 2nd segment. I am glad he decided to bring her back though, pure comedy energy.

[@MathStringInputOutpu]

She is very different from other female guests and it is quite a nice change

[@AdamTheRaptor]

She's quirky and funny. Definitely awkward enough without the pause... 😄

[@TheShamansQuestion]

Honestly, I thought her first reaction to it was her just getting to the pause and Craig not getting it. I was hoping after she asked what the longest one is that she'd say "well we've outdone that already".

[@ArchieBC]

She is so refreshingly different that people sometimes don’t get how funny she is. She has a small roll in So This Is 40 and when she gets her moment, it’s hilarious on an other level.

[@treesny]

I first saw her on House. Then when I saw the great Andrew Haigh/Michael Lannan series Looking, she turned up in a tiny role -- in the donut shop in Modesto -- and I cracked up... she made every line count. Truly an original!

[@quorn23]

She was perfectly cast in House. The combination of awkward and savvy was exactly what was needed.

[@treesny]

[@chayan1456]

[@RetrospectWindow]

Some say the long-awaited Yi-Ferguson awkward pause has still yet to happen. Charlyne has hoped for the moment. She's searched high and low for Craig, cardigan in hand. She looked for him in the Roadhouse, but to no avail. She was saving a table for him, when two brutish members of the Bourgeoisie removed her from her seat, not even supplying a Tom Hanks stool as a courteous alternative. So she did as she had done many times before. She became a turtle - a purposeful reptile among accidental amphibians. But instead of eating lettuce, she crawled on hands and knees into a living shell of standing, dancing partygoers. That's when she realized. She would never find Craig. She would never have the pleasure of entering into an awkward pause. That was impossible, because... because the pause had already begun. They were already in it. Removed by time and space, but in it nonetheless, and there was no escape. An unending moment, like living inside a dream. Her soul, losing control, wanted to ask, 'who built this heart?' ... Her mouth opened, but only let loose screams of rage.
