Every time you watch a Taylor Schilling interview, you can't help but adore her more. She just seems so genuine and down to earth, pretty damn awesome really. Love the interview btw, great job! :D

[@marianlyons5130]

Agree!

[@TykoBrian7]

I came here for Taylor Schilling. Love her performance in Orange is the New Black!

[@pameloxia]

+Tyko Brian Same , and I also love how High was she during this interview lol

[@karlaleonn7212]

Same :)

[@mashaelm9268]

Same!!(:

[@jeggernautic_]

And she’s here with her ex girlfriend. Lol

[@picklepuff2055]

were they dating before this interview or after ?

[@Karent950]

God bless Taylor! She's just seems so shocked and happy to be there!

[@Truthaehnchen]

If you watch any interview of Taylor Schilling, you always get the feeling of her being shocked and excited to be in any of these shows. The comments always say things like her being high or drunk or something, but it actually is just her being always so star struck and everything. Before OitNB she had a rather bleak acting career and now overnight she is a part of all these shows she used to watch herself and probably only could dream of to be a guest at them some day. I am incredibly happy for her because now there is an actress who is so genuine and authentic in her interviews. The fact that she always rambles when talking and is dorky at some of her interviews adds to her being just an adorable personality. The fact that she's damn pretty does add to all of that too.

[@Karent950]

Truthaehnchen Yeah too true! Kinda nice to see someone just enjoy the moment and how grateful she is to be in that position - if only there were more like her!

[@electroPHROGressive]

Truthaehnchen So true. That's the way I see her, too.

[@jnw518]

I'm so happy Taylor seems more comfortable with these round tables, I love her input.

[@juliananobrea]

Taylor seems so vulnerable and real that i just want to hold her!

[@joycelemos4971]

Taylor is so adorable! 😍😍😍

[@flovita]

i love taylor's voice

[@jaew2071]

Haha I love how Taylor stops herself from swearing at 44:13.

[@lalaxbabo]

I just love how Tony is so fascinated by Carrie

[@chavezdaugustine3330]

I love how Carrie tries to dumb herself down after saying something totally brilliant. "um. if that makes sense. idk" She's the most interesting person on this panel

[@ohsosetfree]

I love Carrie so much

[@vedacorvus]

I feel slightly uncomfortable listening to Taylor talk because when she's nervous she really loses her words. You can see her struggling to focus, but at the same time you know she has real things to communicate!!

[@anamaria-ek4bn]

Yeah, she suffers from anxiety. :(

[@emmagkeem1225]

Taylor and Carrie are so lovely. :)

[@thezp.3550]

Sol Kim Can they just get back together please? I love them both❤️

[@flanigan_a-go-go]

8:48** Taylor out!

[@waltzfordebby123]

what a beautiful group of genuine down to earth people. really enjoyed this thank you

[@thezp.3550]

I die a little each time Carrie looks at Taylor❤️

[@gagasvids7383]

Thez P. Are they together?

[@flanigan_a-go-go]

Aesthetic lemon they were for like 3 yrs

[@ttg8603]

@@flanigan_a-go-go really and now?

[@dazed-darling]

Thez P. were they together during this?

[@bigphatbandlover]

This roundtable can be summed up in one word: "verisimilitude". :D

[@annachen6562]

Every time I watch an interview with Taylor, I realize what an amazing actor she is, because she just completely transforms herself. She is nowhere to be found in Piper, or any other character she plays.

[@cursedspider]

i feel like we are all only here for taylor

[@ginagr9782]

Taylor is the best and the funniest from all*-*

[@jeggernautic_]

Taylor gets nervous each time she is in an interview and loses her words and sometimes just go blank. Up to this day.. but she’s cute

[@lbrhart]

Carrie's so amazing

[@JackC50]

carrie brownstein is so amazing

[@rabbitohs5]

The only way these roundtables work are if you get the girl from The Hollywood Reporter that usually does theirs. She is the best!

[@blueblack9802]

Taylor is so beautiful omg

[@wiltree6504]

People here are saying Taylor is nervous. I would be nervous too when Carrie speaks so eloquently and effortlessly.

[@aly8950]

I can feel Taylor's anxiety

[@abraxas9972]

"And can you tell me what 'velsmiltitude means?" LOL

[@jeggernautic_]

3:58 awkward silence. And like a pin just fell off the background to break it. 😂😂

[@greatregods8804]

I don't know whether the gay love is right or not by God's grace.but love is love.i wish Taylor Schilling and Carrie Brownstein a good success.

[@almadoumani9250]

taylor seems so high, she seems like that in many interviews :p

[@adamw116]

Okay I love Carrie Brownstein, but still' truthiness', she's killin me!

[@dazed-darling]

carrie and taylor were together in this video?

[@emilywang3766]

I love taylor 💕

[@starryxblue]

Carrie

[@septube26]

There's a part in this video that carrie keeps messing with her hair as Taylor is talking, she was clearly liking Taylor during this interview and I think Taylor knew that. Taylor get's so nervous during most of her interviews.

[@angeliesam723]

4:02

[@redplague]

That look from Carrie at 0:32 towards Taylor. Was this roundtable where they first met before they started having an affair?

[@ultraconservative]

They met in 2013.

[@uglyfatbitch]

the host is sooo awkward it's hard to watch

[@LeezPgh]

Great group.. conversation

[@LeezPgh]

sweet people

[@LeezPgh]

Great facilitating Greg Braxton**

[@thequeerpunkbarber5142]

Tony Hale totally has the hots for Carrie. It's like so obvi.

[@ekkobeach]

Did someone forget to tell the moderator to wake-up before talking. What a bore.

[@iRamble88]

+ekkobeach Who/how many people signed off on a "spectacular" (his description) group of actors gathering to be navigated by somebody so spectacularly underwhelming. And why? I know its the LA Times and this group of people probably in the scheme of things matters very little but to any other media outlet outside of LA this would be a huge opportunity wasted on something so obvious. To be fair, I watched about 30 seconds and he bored me enough to write this with the video on pause, which leaves a lot of time up in the air that he may have done excellent on or improved greatly......... but I'll never know for sure.

[@agasaga]

So much potential for a great interview...but it feels so awkward! You've got a clutch of some the best personalities around a table at the same time...yet greg just feels like he's constantly throwing sand on the fire! He's chairing the interview like comedy is a terminal illness! I'm not saying he's bad, but I just don't think it's the right forum for him! Otherwise, it's so good to hear about the actors craft and method behind the scenes!

[@jeggernautic_]

At 3:50 Taylor just lost everything that she had to say out of the window and awkward silence after that. The actors around her were like “What?”.. 😂

[@greatregods8804]

Beautifully doing well the interview.

[@WilliamPfeffer4]

I was entertained by this motion picture Keep it up

[@vaibhavpatel7765]

Could you guys upload the Emmy 2013 comedy actors roundtable..

[@hadimajzoub]

THEY MET HERE lol, this is bad because its their life but i want tay to be lauras not carries but as i said it's wrong AND I shouldn't care. BYE

[@checkurbrainfly]

what a bunch of mediocre "comedians" and the talented Carrie Brownstein, this should be a round table with her ONLY

[@stuffsthingsthingsstuff8695]

+checkurbrainfly I agree with the exception of Tony Hale. He is RIDICULOUSLY talented comedic actor!!!

[@mariaevaabis2053]

What a pretty taylor my baby.

[@ultraconservative]

She was nervous because of Carrie. OMG they were already fcking.

[@manusiakerdus1233]

I feel Carrie couldn't look Taylor in the eyes

[@idawong29]

32:45

[@gayhoeboii6338]

Who picked this guy to interview people ? I’m falling asleep listening to him talk

[@anuka5336]

lovely roundtable, but the Interviewer is kinda bad at it, or just nervous?

[@jeggernautic_]

Wow! Taylo’s ex girlfriend is here too!

[@kkjhn41]

For comedy actors this has been a really ponderous unfunny interview. But that's because these are actors I guess. They play funny characters, doesn't mean they are funny people.

[@FabioAndrade88]

+Kenneth Nielsen It's not the actors. It's the interviewer and the whole production of the segment. You should see the Hollywood Reporter Roundtables and you will I know what am I talking about. Both Taylor Schilling and Eric Stonestreet done the THR roundtables and they were lot funnier.

[@kkjhn41]

I have seen them. Eric isn't so much funny as he is the impetus for others jokes. There is a vast difference between being a comedic actor and being a comedian. It's like expecting a dramatic actor to be intelligent, erudite or even witty because those are characteristics of the parts they play. A lot of actors are bland and utterly uninteresting personalities waiting for a writer or stage to give them life. I just do not find this group of actors funny as themselves. Again probably because they are actors not comedians.

[@taylorcuch2480]

so LA Times trying to copy THR now? m'okay...

[@emilyc6739]

Taylor and Carrie break up???

[@pintolicia]

Why?

[@amy-louisepugh2240]

Are they together in this video?

[@Chambinho4.0]

Nao sabemos se elas já estavam juntas nesse vídeo.

[@ChinweOkorie]

I don't find any of these shows funny aside from Modern Family. I just don't... see how... uhh.... this doesn't compare to days like Cosby, Home Improvement and Fresh Prince. MF by far is the comedy show of the decade.

[@starryxblue]

i personally think modern family is the worst show out of them all (except for the goldbergs since i've never seen it). it's just so predictable and awful to watch. veep on the other hand is comedy gold i never fail to laugh the entire way through. it's just different strokes for different folks!

[@ChinweOkorie]

starryxblue yeah you're right. different strokes for different folks.

[@Dragon.Payaso]

***** HI

[@ChinweOkorie]

***** yeah, so we all have different taste... so thanks for showing your age, P.S. I would have added Martin but i liked diversifying my taste :)

[@ChinweOkorie]

UrbanArtist I haven't seen Wilfred.. i'll check it out.

[@cookiemonster8474]

Tried watching this interview before and couldn't cause that initial part when the interviewer kept slapping his arm and talking was so cringey. But gave it another chance and it was pretty good after that. Taylor talks like an idiot though.

[@nnis6032]

She was just nervous
