Stephen Stages An Art Intervention For James Franco

[@lovelypacific]

This was such a chill, weird, cool and awkward interview all at the same time

[@rocketraccoon77]

Coz its James Franco

[@Austin-hf3oo]

Thank you James for being an awesome human!

[@Emma-zv1jr]

+Ada banana IKR! :D I told myself the exact same thing! They should make more of these interviews with him. With James Franco, the interviews are kinda inpredictable like he just talked about his brothers and next thing you know, he's talking about how he made a dirty version of "Rebel Without A Cause" and found it funny. But at the same time he's kinda predictable because he's either chill, relaxed, weird, cool and akward all at the same time, or sometimes he's just bored and basically says nothing, when he's in group usually, like for the movie called "The Magician Of Oz" with Mila Kunis on a Russian talk-show (even if the things that were said were (probably) translated to them in earbuds). Anyway, even Stephen Colbert who's usually pretty witty seemed quite troubled and disturbed by some of James Franco's questions (especially the ones with his daughters, which were ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS by the way!) and answers, and also because James Franco is really unpredictable. And the two talking together was just HILARIOUS and AWESOME! Stephen Colbert should make more interviews with James Franco and it's just so funny to see Colbert's "killer wit" being disturbed by the "unpredictable" James Franco! :D

[@stevenromero4497]

Hmm, am i the only one noticing the repetitive cocaine references by stephen colbert and james franco? I mean Stephen kept interrupting him lol

[@ziggy9704]

it was awesome ! :)

[@BenAHowell754]

Man, they have a weird chemistry together that is so fun to watch. Franco is just too weird and unpredictable for Colbert's usual impromptu killer wit. Please, we need more!!!

[@JordanDurci]

They should make a movie together! XD

[@LorenzoCalgaryRealtor]

Colbert's agent definitely needs to start getting him some movies.

[@JordanDurci]

His agent pretty much exclusively does talk shows, late night comedy shows, etc. I forget who all works with him, though.

[@Emma-zv1jr]

+Major Kong I totally agree! :D This interview was chill, cool, weird, akward and was just really strangely weirdly awesome! :D They should make more interviews together, which, apparently shouldn't be hard for Stephen Colbert's agent and James Franco's agent since apparently, he acts in a bunch of movies, which he would maybe want to promote.

[@communistjesus]

WELCOME TO THE USA UNDER OHBUMMER...!!OBAMA!!!!!..Man, if I were OBAMA at this time getting ready to leave the office of Prez.. I would having my staff WORKING OVERTIME Writing a bunch OF EXECUTIVE ACTIONS.. COME ON BUMMER you DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO LOSE ANYMORE....

[@martinaee]

It's amazing that he was able to regrow his arm.

[@adj789]

You're a lizard Jamie!

[@emiangurabardhi8660]

adj789 I'm a what?

[@OMrkithO]

a lizard, Jamie!

[@Eliphas_Leary]

He smoked some of the weed that turns people into lizards...

[@steh8831]

martinaee - I'm amazed that he wasn't more stoned than usual.

[@MuhammadEgypt]

I find James one of the most mysterious celebrities in Hollywood.

[@illdrumatik391]

Mohamed Farouk Mysterious how?

[@nocturnalflare8457]

How so?

[@Jack-gu4fc]

Colbert is one of the few hosts that can actually have a conversation with a guest and make it not sound fake

[@danieldonovan9755]

Your right, he's still fake AF though

[@michelebergman4336]

Because Colbert is a GREAT ACTOR! He’s an “ Improve” comedian

[@reecegraves3738]

Stop the cap my brother

[@jenniferc.2075]

Too adorable... James hugs Stephen like he really means it....

[@yasalenlasestrellas5913]

my same thought. i reckon they're kind of friends.

[@ahmedhameed1444]

this was an awesome interview!!stephen has this way of putting the guest at ease to a point that they really open up and you get a glimpse of their real self....!

[@ahmedhameed1444]

i did watch that.you're right!😁😁

[@frs2768]

Ahmed Hameed v

[@Gouthamedara]

Franco is a terrific actor. He should play more serious roles. He doesnt get much recognition just like ethan hawke

[@giulia2098]

goutham edara Always asked.myself why does he always land roles in lame movies ?! Never understood.

[@openm1ndead]

Yeah poor Ethan

[@XxMyLameUserNamexX]

It’s so cute how James cracks up to his own jokes.

[@NellieKAdaba]

True, lol

[@kays2720]

I love how James seems so happy with life. I feel that him spending his life creating and learning rather than seeking out a "soulmate" is awesome. I find that lifestyle admirable especially since society pressures us to "settle down."

[@DavidRuizTijerina]

If anyone's curious, that Mexican saying is "chivo brincado, chivo quedado," which roughly translates to "a goat that has been jumped over isn't going anywhere." The goats would be the siblings, and being "jumped over" is when a younger sibling gets married before you do.

[@akhilpremk]

Nice way to put it.

[@uzuvita]

Indonesian has this kind of superstition as well. if younger sibling gets married first, the older will be hard to find mate. and funnily it happened in my big family.

[@Alex19II]

Only idiots believe in superstitions.

[@uzuvita]

Alex White thankyou

[@bigchungus5933]

Alex White ....wow. Having a bad day? I recommend shutting the fuck up and keeping your insults to yourself. You literally accomplished nothing besides making yourself seem like an unpleasant person.

[@bigjilms]

This is such an amazing interview, I was smiling all the way through. Their chemistry is amazing.

[@-NoneOfYourBusiness]

I like James Franco. Always did. He's a smart semi-nihilistic unusual but very talented guy. If someone reads this: James Franco would be a fantastic James Bond villain.

[@SanCA1812]

Really interesting point. Curious about why you think James Franco is “semi nihilistic”

[@Sticklemako]

He is such a reallife goofball and unapologetic freak. Kudos to him

[@AmmaLove24]

He is such an interesting weirdo.

[@AlexLove631]

"We'll edit it out" -Stephen GOOD JOB, STEPHEN! GOOD FUCKING JOB Also, my boy James a true player

[@buckybarnes2026]

oh nooooooo

[@AlexLove631]

Bucky Barnes my duuuuuude!

[@Dranzerk8908]

I used to think James Franco was high because of his eyes, but now its because he works so much he is just tired.

[@Sambubdo]

acerhen somerhen bit of both... that’s the way to do it

[@v-22]

Holy shit, a real conversation on a talk show. Are all interviews like this with Colbert?

[@pkrangersf3072]

I was hoping for a Tolkien Showdown...

[@christophersheffield9574]

only reason i watched

[@chaosfruitbat5970]

I expect one every time now!

[@Yousef-eh8qq]

I don't know if this is incredibly awkward or extremely chill and laid back

[@mitchellwilliam95]

nothing wrong with awkwardness

[@HelgaCavoli]

Y. Hakimi, I say: Kirsten Stewart is awkward and uncomfortable on interviews. He's way laid back.

[@IvanPolyansky]

ahh, so classic. People calling openness ‘awkward’

[@yuyeonglim7649]

his voice and accent are so sexy.

[@SimplyCanadian]

He doesn't look like James Franco.. Also, I'm glad Colbert posts full interviews!

[@youmeandi100]

this was such a great natural and inteesting interview

[@Widdums]

Always will be Harry from spiderman.

[@Renji9031]

Sam Raimi's casting director really did a good job on calling that one. He's looking more and more like Willem Dafoe every time I see him.

[@Lia-hd7rh]

idk how James isn't married yet. he's fucking hot af...and smart

[@ferociousfrankie]

You answered your own question.

[@Xplorer228]

Yea cause if he isn't constantly a slave to the pussy he must be gay right?

[@robertotellez199]

thats exacly why

[@RCmies]

ferociousfrankie GOT EM

[@KyleC11]

why is it fine for a woman to be too smart for men around her but can't be the other way around? James is too good for the LA hoes

[@ImJakeSrsly]

I'm a 26 y-o straight male and I'll marry James Franco.

[@dr.stevebrule4029]

Yeah you're gay

[@Lyfzagamble]

Jake James you aint straight saying shit like that my man.

[@naruto00nix]

does he know about it?

[@karenling2106]

why him september 23rd

[@arturoemmanuelcruzalvarez3004]

x2

[@sophside9931]

This was an amazing interview.

[@aaronkim8112]

Is he okay, really felt the emotional brokenness between the lines of quips and jokes - I think Stephen hit the nail on the head with square in the joke. I don't know :/ Has me a bit concerned about his psychological and emotional health. And that flawless smile and expression looks great, but it seems to help him utilize a completely different persona for his biz to avoid the conflict of dealing with other emotions... i feel ya' Franco. Seems too sentimental and melodramatic in between his laughs and jest. Hang in there? Maybe needs to stay away from the spotlight and do some soul-searching... got me concerned foshoooo

[@isabelatticus4039]

Theophilus I don't know. He seems totally normal. Not so fake like I normally see. Not cookie cutter ya know. Everyone is different.

[@aaronkim8112]

I don't know - I just got the impression he was depressed - and maybe a little passive and self-conscious not to admit it openly or fully because he's on a late-night show... It's not easy to discern when one is doing their best to maintain a reputation and an image of self-perfection for show biz. I think he has the humility to admit it, but is afraid of being judged because of his fame and platform he's standing on. When i was depressed i used to cram things to stay as productive as possible and contemplate on other things to steer clear of the internal issues. It isn't a healthy state to be in. It just felt all to familiar, the vibe i was getting. And I could be completely off the bulls-eye. Hope him well, and he finds his way. I remember he had his peaks and lows - and I am an avid James Franco fan, so this isn't anything insinuative or out of pure boredom. Just something i noticed, and perhaps other bystanders or viewers may not notice for the sole purpose of entertainment and turning these people into mere products of marketing. They have souls too y'know, and they are in a vulnerable state most of the time. It just didn't seem right. Oh man and that laugh... seems a little to desperate for normality. I've seen his other interviews... just seems a bit off this time 'round - it's never this awkward with him.

[@ajvaldez42]

I agree with you. I've never really seen him much, so I don't know his usual persona. But that part with the "joke on the square" did look like he meant it.

[@peterpunker9425]

You were not the only one who got the same feeling!

[@stevenews6660]

Maybe it's because he was hanging out with Satanist Kenneth Anger and it rubbed off. That plus anyone next to Kissinger would make them want to run off and take a shower. Kissinger is a creepy creepy man

[@ianh6845]

Is it just me, or would James Franco make a good Joker??

[@thenewclassic4]

He would, he has something similar to heath ledger, in the smile & the eyes

[@michelebergman4336]

TOOO AMAZING!!! He is TGE NEW BRANDO

[@blubla5409]

I could see him play joker

[@dhritisingh4808]

His smile is so contagious!😁

[@uzuvita]

60 projects in a year? shut the front door! he must be a genius!

[@IceColdProfessional]

Dolce Vita Or batshit crazy and needs a place to let it all out.

[@jackmacaroni4999]

Or insane. Or both.

[@codypower4298]

its really just a good work ethic

[@IceColdProfessional]

Cody Power yes. Yes you're right.

[@uzuvita]

Kevin Jones you're so offensive. ofc I know what genius is

[@charlieni645]

This didn't make a good first impression, but I have come to like him through many of his serious roles over the years. He is genuinely passionate about what he does and that is very admirable.

[@xenunovak9138]

This was the first comfortable, somewhat endearing, and slightly funny interview Colbert has conducted with a guest. If he keeps it up, he might just keep his job.

[@haideegrace1724]

this is my favourite interview to date

[@AshrafulIslam126]

Hilarious segment. Never seen Stephen go razzled and flustered. lol

[@crystala7x182]

Aww no tolkien off this time? Why? :( Okay, next time James Franco is on, WE DEMAND A TOLKIEN OFF!

[@tengkuadam1399]

Agreed!

[@gemmaskate]

LilyBean I think he's realized he's no match for him 😂

[@sammnunnally777d]

Is anyone else a little bit bummed that there wasn't a Tolkien off?

[@violal1460]

sammnunnally777d I think he got schooled last time! Hahaha

[@DasnarkyRemarky]

What's common between James Franco and Bradley Cooper? They both are top Hollywood actors with actual college degrees.

[@mona-cb9xm]

he even got a masters degree and did it while he was super famous ! this is the kind of actors that i like the devoted to their work and trying to develop themselves even after fame

[@leleiskindofcool]

At Columbia no doubt (Franco).

[@gemmaskate]

DaSnarky Remarky ??? A bunch of actirs have degrees. Most even.

[@blairastor]

Jake Gylenhaal?

[@kylegeee]

and not a single one of those projects was "Pineapple Express 2"

[@AnneLien1987]

James franco = the hottest man on this planet.

[@neiljohnson7914]

How much were you paid too say this?

[@DylonJohnGovender]

😆He always looks so high LMFAO.

[@Salieri21]

Gorgeous James solidifying the rumour of his bisexuality. 💓😘

[@IvanPolyansky]

Jealous women always gossip about men not willing to play by their rules

[@stanwalkerlover23]

I would like to marry James Franco .

[@sophside9931]

Oshini Perera I second that

[@luckyjasonfan]

Oshini Perera Soooo, is he into men or women? 🤔

[@stanwalkerlover23]

luckyjasonfan I am a women . He says that he likes guys a little bit I think

[@abby4115]

Girl get in line

[@frosty129]

Oshini Perera take a number. have a seat.

[@TomGallagherSuperboyBeyond]

James should marry Seth Rogen.

[@augustinadriancristea5873]

Most significant comment ever! I think they would have a nice daughterson together :))

[@mr.dickmilk7219]

Tom Gallagher - The Comic Book Cast Seth only loves Efron :v

[@leoandthearts4964]

I think Seth is married..

[@hugolalumiere9992]

+Tom Gallagher Problem is Rogen pretty much sucks!

[@chazyminoda1473]

I agree

[@jeremylofthouse6621]

I'm so glad that Stephen Colbert found his way to the BIG TIME from humble beginnings in South Carolina. How else would we get sayings like "Daddy wants to get his beak wet" and "Kidding on the square?" Down home wisdom.

[@rockoutkids]

I'm only gay for Franco.

[@thenumber2356]

Maxwell you are only gay.

[@MojoBonzo]

ooh we gonna have a bro down, mate... he is mine... i saw him first

[@thenumber2356]

The world is weird nowadays

[@steh8831]

TheNumber23 - Yep, it really is.

[@kentjg32]

@TheNumber23 That's because it's 2016. (2 x 1)= 2; (2 x 6) = 12; then add up all the numbers in 2016 (2+1+6) = 9. (12+2+9)=23

[@pvrhye]

As he gets older he looks more and more like Willem Dafoe, which is weird because that was his dad in Spiderman.

[@michelebergman4336]

He’s more Richard Gere

[@MrDJCoulton]

I'd love a "Franco Needs a Wife" film

[@toadle77]

MrDJCoulton or husband 👨‍❤️‍👨💑

[@LucyInNightmares1]

I heard he's making a movie about the making of the movie the room. I'm so keen

[@jeroenbossee]

ooooh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy

[@WickedWolverine]

oh my god i almost pissed myself laughing..that was such a hilarious interview!!

[@sonia_baker]

I love how smiley he is! 😍😀

[@yemo34]

When he was at telluride film festival years ago. He did an interview for our high school paper. I knew the girl who did it. She said he was pretty cool about the whole thing. She basically mentioned she was a editor for our paper. And if she could interview him, and he obliged.

[@adamcappuccino176]

i'll marry the f*** outta you, James Franco

[@IvanPolyansky]

Somehow I'm sure this interview will become sort of classic among KZbin/Colbert/Franco geeks. Rewatching it for the third time now!

[@qweed54]

Stephen's face when James is like "what if I showed up with your daughter/son" I'm literally cracking up

[@jamesfranco1280]

lovely it's a hard time for the world now, we are all going through a dark phase but we can only win this war over this pandemic if we stand together, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. Keep practicing self hygiene and wash your hands and keep supporting my career we will bounce back strong #staysafe #stayhome.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@CircumstantialFilms]

James should be our national artist and help us understand stuff

[@look4lec]

That piece of glitter on his face helped show off the cutesy filters they use.

[@schloergrape5191]

8:08 'it's in cornrows' a reference to Franco's role in sringbreakers!

[@user-cq1hz7pi2d]

If i could get into one person's mind and see what is inside it will definitely be james franco's

[@LOVE..Sherelle]

Damn I would love to do acid with James Franco, just to try it out

[@XXXIMSEXYNIKNOWITXXX]

LOVE4everSher do weed with James and Seth

[@EverythingIsTaken94]

You ever hang out with Jon Stewart... on weeeeed?????

[@taschke1221]

LOVE4everSher Crazy part is, you've already done the acid, so you mean the Franco trip.

[@pgfarber6576]

1:18 Franco literally shines.

[@MUSEisTheOneForMe]

Very happy to see jame franco on TV

[@dududski]

james is just so open minded

[@thequestion1357]

A nother actor who dosen't seem to age.

[@taschke1221]

Daniel Knapp you didn't notice the receding hairline cut?

[@thequestion1357]

John T Yes i did. But i just think he looks the same as he did about 5 years ago.

[@JPBrewer1]

HAHA yea

[@camq-py7bs]

Daniel Knapp he takes care of himself lol

[@racheljilek964]

Franco: "So I'm supposed to hit him with the chicken wing, right - " Colbert: "Don't say 'right' like that's natural!" This was the funniest part of the interview for me :D

[@kittyng05]

lolllll he really don't like the idea of seeing his daughter/son with james franco or trump jr

[@CyborgKittyCult]

I love how Stephen says "report" like "Colbert" with a silent t 😂

[@TMWriting]

No Lord of the Rings challenge? Has he given up?

[@quimet2000]

No Tolkien off? 😢😢😭

[@sefaaydemir8657]

I love the line "The best thing about you is your parents!". Might use it one day.

[@hussainjunaid3873]

I wish I had his smile

[@MsQueengorgo]

That was great how he turned it around Stephen

[@moulee7448]

I love this interview.. He is so cute💗😭

[@OldSchoolDudeGaming]

This fealt like a real conversation, almost. Much better than all of those stupid pre-planned ones.

[@elizaheathen]

really wanted there to be more LOTR trivia... :/

[@hamilfever6610]

That story he told like it was just another normal day at work for him was hilarious! I totally lol'd when Stephen called him out on saying 'right'? HHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA. I mean that was some WEIRD sh*t.

[@rudyl4341]

Oh James I have very strange feelings for you 😍😘

[@ExileOnDaytonStreet]

Holy smokes, he mentioned the Report by name... here come CC's lawyers...

[@StewChicken42]

"...and walks in with Donald Trump Jr." - at this moment, I am LOVING LIFE! LMAO.

[@Rollakins]

Such a surprising duo these two! top interview!

[@dalicloud9]

the crowds reaction to the question, "what if it was donald trump. jr?" is priceless.

[@almaji666]

i think Colbert saying "i don't know what i'm talking about" at 8:25 is for the first time in his entire anchoring carrier! James Franco is Colbert's Kryptonite!

[@xubihang]

when he told about the relationship between him and his brothers, I thought he just wiped off tears coming down to his face(which is not true).

[@givemeapencilckdsg]

loved Stay Human's intro for him

[@AMDphenomX3rocks]

definitely stoned.. the way he take time to think and answer, the smile he cant contain..his eye bags.

[@addos999]

"...and your daughter walks in with donald trump jr" DESTROYED lolololololol

[@KatrinaAune]

🎄🎄🎄🎄 Steven, Miss The Report, but so glad to see you still on Tv. 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYBODY!!! 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

[@entertain7us148]

Oh my God, I've always said Colbert isn't the best interviewer when it comes to celebrities, but every now and then he fucking NAILS it.

[@charlierandall3894]

colberts best interview yet

[@ItsFairyNecessary]

I'm in love with James Franco! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@boggiechan841]

So in love with James Franco 😍♥️

[@browtf4796]

i volunteer as tribute james

[@moonnugget4598]

I get a little tingle every time SC calls himself Daddy. hehehehe

[@valeriemunoz8985]

I love James he's so hard working and perfect ughhhh

[@alfreddelatourquipenche8287]

2:22 Okay, I have to say this: that list sounds like all he does is take free moments.

[@EllEiEllE]

He just has one of those smiles... Makes you wanna get all dreamy and just stare at him. James, if you're still looking to get married; I'm not particularly beautiful, smart or rich but... I'm available so... Hit me up.

[@Faizain2pk]

Name of the music playing in the beginning??? So nice!

[@apoked]

i wanna know too!

[@ritagyoi4054]

me too :)

[@Katya_Lastochka]

I love his eye smile.

[@bamycalling]

I just love james franco so much, upset there was no tolkien off this time tho :(

[@UnencumberedWords]

I think James Franco has mellowed out in recent years. He's so chill in this interview.
