Comedy Actors Roundtable: Jason Segel, Steven Yeun, Tyler James Williams, John Mulaney & Mo Amer

[@mimifanet]

So happy to see Tyler James Williams getting all that he deserves. He’s been a staple in my life since childhood. What a talented human!

[@MsAngelok88]

I like how Jason Segel always turns to the person that he's speaking to. It gives an intense feeling and comes off very earnest and endearing. I bet talking to him like this would feel very different.

[@terrancereevesmusic]

Having met him in a line of fans once, he’s like this with everyone. Hyperfocuses on the individual and seems to always try to connect with them. Kind guy. Knows what he represents to others and tries to be genuine with them.

[@justingiehl921]

a buddy of mine met him at a coffee shop in philly and said he got up and hugged him and they spoke for 20 minutes. sounds like a true genuine guy

[@DanielleReisch]

I would listen to a Jason Segel podcast. He’s done a few I listen to (Armchair Expert, Conan) and he just comes across as an introspective and earnest person who respects those around him. He’s funny and a storyteller and can help others frame their story. That’s a true talent.

Slightly off topic, but I need a roundtable filled with outstanding action/martial art stars/actors. Keanu Reeves, Tom Cruise, Jackie Chan, Donnie Yen, Iko Uwais, Scott Adkins, Jason Statham, ect. I know you can’t get all of them (or perhaps do a part 2 with another batch), but I’d love to see at least some of them interact and speak their minds about action, choreographies, stunts, martial arts, acting, their own experiences/stories, their perspectives on certain things, ect all in one table.

[@ricocinna]

Lacey Rose is great ❤

[@sLaPQx]

Why do I feel differently, for me she presents herself to be somewhat obtuse. Saying “Sure, yea yea” when the actor clearly places something out to either be redirected with reflection on the interviewers part or redirected to ask from that the thoughts others may share. Idk maybe I am imagining it.

[@itzumiv]

​@@sLaPQx @I felt the same way. It's because she has to asks the questions she has written down and so when trying to move on she sounded dismissive. She did it to Mo specifically, but I'm sure she didn't mean it, it's literally just that, that she has to follow the pre written question

[@katherinel3475]

@@sLaPQx I came here looking for this comment. Mo made a great point about wanting to be viewed as an artist, and not have his ethnicity or colour be brought into it, and all she said was "Sure, sure. Yeah" and then switched topics. I cringed SO hard. Such bad listening and so tone deaf.

[@scottchow043]

It's so interesting to hear how heavy this conversation was for being the comedy round table. Especially since the drama actor episode was so light hearted and funny.

[@carveylover]

Comedians tend to be the heavier of the groups. I have found that some of the funniest people/ actors are the most intense and the dramatic people/actor are usually the funniest most light hearted. They are always dealing with intense situations in their craft so they have to be goofy irl.

[@tylerdrakee]

True but the line between Drama and Comedy in tv these days is so blurred. Roman Roy is pure comedy he could have had a seat on either of these tables

[@shannonvanduren5703]

Jason complimenting BEEF was so cute and 100% agree with that arc!!

[@zethhudson]

Beef one of the best shows I've watched in a long time. FInny, emotional, and a think piece.

[@HeisntLegend]

I REALLY want to see John Mulaney work with Bill Hader on something in the vein of Barry. Not the plot, but the tone, and the character dissection. John has had a messed up few years and I have no doubt that he has it in him to explore that, and Bill has proved himself more than competent, and we already know they work incredibly well together. Make it happen Hollywood.

[@cv8499]

I mean, I could see his special "Baby J" as a movie, just the way he laid it out. He would play himself, with some younger actors playing him in the childhood flashbacks, and Bill Hader would star as the doctor at the rehab. Pete Davidson could play the person on duty who busted him for having Outback delivered.

What was that pivot @ 14:48 with the "sure...sure..." then going back to talk about likeability to Jason? That was weird AF, Mo had a valid point talking about race and how people try to categorize him because he's from the middle east. It would have been a better response, "So, Mo, how would you say that impacts you when you try to make a connection audiences?" which ties in with the subject of "likeability". It was getting interesting.

[@Segnon]

was looking for this comment. was def a weird moment.

[@ThomasMan]

Glad someone else pointed this out. She definitely refused to engage with some of his responses for some odd reason.

[@mikaelastaaf]

I think maybe she thought (or picked up on?) that he didn't wanna talk about it since he was saying that thinking about it made him tear up, so perhaps she was just trying to avoid making him cry. These interviews aren't really in depths, even if they sometimes go there. I didn't find it THAT odd, even though it would have been interesting to hear more from him.

I only watched Steven's performances out of all actors. But I feel like Danny is one of the most amazing and NEEDED characters of the year. I absolutely loved his performance and how he portrays anger, depression, and unhappiness. When he said if he played this role earlier it would feel like "the real Steven Yeun is not like that", I find it funny cuz I remember watching it and thought, "damn I like this actor, he actually gets it".

i actually kind of felt like he kept changing the subject from what people were talking about, and it seems like he does go on forever from what i've seen of him, so maybe that's what was going on and you can't tell from the editing. but idk

🙄I get the part where they talked about being stereotyped but when it came to the conversation about what his father had gone through and the trauma it caused him, why would she stay on that topic it clearly affected him when he started to talk about it as he understandably was becoming emotional about that particular part of his story.😐

Some actors portray their real pain through the lens. I could tell Tyler was struggling with letting go when I watched that TWD scene. Made the scene 100% believable…but made you (as a viewer) “break the 4th wall” and feel bad for the actor instead of the character.
