I feel like we all need Day Drinking with Dakota

[@ms0824]

I wonder how they go about selecting those. I'd definitely like to see more of them but I also realize Seth is a father and husband and can't exactly be getting day drunk every weekend 😅

[@chesh1re_cat]

YES

[@loveinthematrix]

I feel like she wouldn’t drink the d*shusting drinks he creates 😂 And honestly good for her. He’s sick 4 that lmao

[@aguyfromfrankfurt5792]

I would pay for it!

[@K1RTB]

Or maybe he could go day drinking with a bag of rice - that bag has probably more to say than Dakota Johnson.

[@christineherrmann205]

I can hear that apologetic "Well, let me get you an ashtray at least" in Melanie Griffith's voice. Being a mom must suck a lot.😂 And OMFG, the "Lonelier Island" is f-ing _hilarious._

[@CraigMcfly1985]

😂😂😂😂😂😂 her mom is very proud of that one.

[@JM-db8ez]

"Being a mom must suck a lot"? Uhm, what?

[@Nunov103]

I love her quirky sense of humor, you kinda feel that she doesn’t take herself too seriously, she’s weird and cute at the same time, love her :)

[@TheFatAndTheFurious]

Adorable and gorgeous.

[@cwg73160]

Please give an example of her “quirky sense of humor”.

[@Nunov103]

@@cwg73160 Watch the interview ✌️

[@MegaFlorest]

Dakota's giggle when Please Don't Destroy pitched that one of them would play her boyfriend, was ethereal.

[@user-hh4ye5oj2y]

Is it like a Make-a-Wish? Do I have brain damage? hahah

[@CraigMcfly1985]

Lonelier Island 😂😂

[@seaninness334]

That PDD ( yeah I said it) skit was hilarious. My favorite line was, " you look like the last three guys a lesbian sleeps with before coming out."

[@tcu1099]

You're so right. She had the perfect comedic timing to square up with those 3.

[@odradekk]

That Higgings mid sentence cry in the reaction was pure gold.

[@TheRealBlueValhalla]

Nepo babies are the funniest

[@bretfoltz7737]

Hilarious

[@The_Infamous_Boogyman]

Nepotism truce was hilarious. A foot in the door and so much more 😅

[@ShnNar1000x]

The PDD sketch was great -the "Nepo Truce" line was fantastic and the chant - "a foot in the door and so much more" -was right on the money. I have to respect the self-awareness. At least none of them are denying the reality that their success has been made much, much easier by who their parents/relatives are.

[@Phi1618033]

When Seth lays it all out, it's kind of crazy. Her mother's Melanie Griffith. Her father's Don Johnson. Her step-father's Antonio Banderas. And her grandmother's Tippi Hedron. And yet she seems like the most down-to-earth person you'll ever meet.

[@TheRealBlueValhalla]

It's a special club

[@CraigMcfly1985]

It is true that she is a nepo.

[@ms0824]

She's probably used to all the bigness of the Hollywood world so that makes her pretty chill. Idk

[@JM-db8ez]

OMG, it's almost like they're normal people. Weird. For some reason I guess we all think that celebrities are aliens that work in Hollywood and try to subvert our human cultures. Yeah, when you just say it out loud it sounds pretty stupid, doesn't it?

[@josepha133]

She grew up on a farm in Colorado, so maybe that's why.

[@brandonhurley9691]

I kinda love that Dakota gives a Charles Grodin slightly antagonistic vibe in interviews. It’s really funny

[@katashley1031]

Yes, thank you! So many dimwitted plebs in the comments who do not get dry humor or that vibe. She is definitely working a Grodin energy here, spot on! 😂

[@SamusSays]

That roast was one of my favorite SNL skits in a long time.

[@ms0824]

Agreed.

[@PistachioDean]

It's wild cause I haven't really seen anything she's in, but she's so personable that I've seen every interview she's done lol

[@ms0824]

I was just thinking that. And I think I've only ever seen her in like 1 movie randomly but I have actively searched for her interviews and talk show stuff.

[@TheEbo34]

Same lol I read/watch every interview she does but have never seen work

[@MJR_ATX]

Her interview on Colbert was really fun to watch

[@DOSkywalkR]

When she walked in with that dress and I saw it from behind I thought "she looks just like her dad, Don Johnson, the star of Miami Vice" 😅

[@CraigMcfly1985]

Her mom in Working Girl.

[@jennifersjolander7964]

Day Drinking with Seth and Dakota!!!

[@joeshmooo5327]

This lady is really. making Seth work.

[@PrecursorLegend]

Yeah she was channeling De Niro in this interview…giving as short answers as possible

[@John_C_J]

Wtf she's never been on Conan. I wonder how that would have went.

[@PurushaDesa]

In fairness, the question about her dad cutting her off is not the kind of light, fun topic Seth thinks it is. It might have taken a while to rebuild that relationship.

[@west3Dgaming]

Yeah it's like she wasn't expecting to be interviewed

[@Burhanontheranch]

To be fair, she is militantly dull.

[@drkskwlkr]

Seth really unlocked his inner Craig Ferguson for this interview

[@IntoTheVerticalBlank]

she's way too hot!

[@Tzgrey77]

She knows she cute and adorable ❤❤❤

[@loveinthematrix]

Ohhh no one can match that man’s flirting style. Seth don’t got it like that, but he’s genuinely sweet

[@brigitperry4991]

The Lonlier Island was my favourite line in that skit.

[@NewMessage]

It sure would be neat if an artistic jackal drew Seth in that dress, wouldn't it?

[@_j_j]

Perhaps they could frame the picture with him looking back over his shoulder, with Mac tonight on his arm 🌛

[@philrobichaud3063]

The "Lonelier Island" joke made me seriously LOL when i saw that sketch on SNL! So funny :)

[@villanessa]

This outfit is incredible

[@realtalkwithLorin]

She looks fabulous. She's the best of both of her parents.

[@sarahleubner6425]

That dress is amazinnnnng

[@val_SBD]

They need to go day drinking 😂

[@Tzgrey77]

She came in and ended in one of the top five PDD sketches

[@ConcordD0m]

She is so naturally funny it’s insane she hasn’t done more comedy

[@GLBizzie]

She tried but her sitcom failed and got cancelled after 1 season coz of low ratings lol

[@FacundoCampazzo123]

If she wasn't a horrible actress I assume she would have acted more by now. Fingers crossed.

[@wanderingseth]

Oh my goodness that is one incredible look. She is stunning, and what a dress!

[@danielhead8123]

She's so hot

[@johnmarkguerra]

It’s like Seth was talking to a glass of slowly melting iced tea.

[@ms0824]

Well I.. would like.. a sip.

[@mariafurmage2042]

That dress screams confidence! LOVE her personality.

[@loveinthematrix]

FUTBALL…. Soccer **giggles strongly** lmao I love herrrr

[@sammygirl6910]

She has her dad's face, but everything else is Melanie. Gorgeous.

[@karolinakv]

I've always disliked the "this is mom's and this is dad's" since it's not. It's me, not my (dear) mom or dad, and my kids are not me or my hubby, they are themselves. Sorry, just had to say. ❤

[@Geekeric]

Dakota Johnson is totally in her prime and it's beautiful to behold.

[@pp-vf8ls]

that skit is the best PDD make ever

[@tinoj9661]

Why am i imagining seth dressed like stephan raab singing a raabigram to brisko schneider. Look it up. Laugh some tears.

[@Jerid58]

She’s one of a very few actresses that doesnt act like one. She’s very down to earth.

[@ReneeKadlubek-gt9qm]

My sister loved that 50 shades book or movie

[@gabifgt]

oh i love dakota. she seems to be so cool and down to earth, and has a great sense of humor too!!

[@am_i_elliot]

Her Please Don't Destroy sketch was better than almost every other SNL sketch in the recent past!

[@folarinosibodu]

That Nepo baby part was so genius cos 2/3 of the Destroy boys were nepo-babies along with Dakota. Loved how Martin excused Ben from that truce. That joke had to be almost inside, maybe 30% of the audience would get it. Only those who had visited their wiki pages.

[@h7opolo]

6:30 i thought the nepo chant was clever and memorized it.

[@AugaAuf]

Can anyone elaborate on the intro music? It got stuck in my head since I had to rewind the entrance again and again for no particular reason at all. Thanks in advance.

[@BobG-pi8bb]

PDD was perfect for her. She’s got a cool vibe and roasting with those three guys works. It’s believable. From the minute she laughed at them saying they had a skit with her as their girlfriend (make a wish? Do I have brain damage?) I started laughing and didn’t stop.

[@erickelly601]

Heard Stern talking about this today and he was so right!!! Wooh 🔥

[@treborretsnom6186]

She did an English show called 'Sick'... I think? With her Dad and Daniel Radcliffe...it was hilarious

[@Afriend-nv4uq]

Loved that snl skit.

[@neivilde.1242]

The pdd skit was def the best and i am mad we didn’t get one with ayo

[@bluesky973]

They did one and it aired at dress, then was cut. 😢

[@neivilde.1242]

@@bluesky973 i fell wronged and cheated. i checked every day that week the snl channel hoping they would post a cut one but nothing happened so i assumed they didn't make one.

[@michaelrmurphy2734]

Dakota Johnson and Molly Ringwald in the same week on Late Night. Not since The Days Of Dave has Late Night been this good! Dakota was born after Miami Vice. Which I watched every Friday night. Crockett's Theme, anyone?!

[@youji1040]

i need to know her hair care routine!!!! 😍

[@ellen1948]

Extensions

[@XFS540]

Howard Stern mentioned this dress on his show this morning; came here to see what all the rage was. He wasn’t kidding 🤤

[@flavanz_]

3:37 “mom look away” n starred in fifty shades of grey

[@carlosnumbertwo]

She is so absolutely charming.

[@anikanura9140]

Gosh this girl

[@61Slughi]

6 minute clip with the title being about the experience with the Please Don't Destroy guys. Total talk time about the subject is 30 seconds at the very end.

[@Tzgrey77]

We need 2025 Dakota Johnson Day Drinking

[@DanielleA2023]

She and they were excellent 👌🏻

[@harleyquiinnnn]

is it just me or does it seem like something is just... off? why was everythings so awkward

[@lilypichon8221]

Seth’s cheeks 😂😂

[@co7314]

What I love about Dakota Johnson is that she doesn't "follow the rules". _Anything_ can happen.

[@karinakiikii]

She is absolutely beautiful and talented ❤❤❤ love her 😎

[@vanebellido3069]

😻😹 Daki sos única

[@user-gt6ye8cr4z]

i love dakota johnson. i totally have a crush on her. what a silly goose.

[@parametr]

Tbh, it feels like she's done enough to skip through the mom/dad/step-dad/grandma bits. Feels like Seth noticed and went as fast as he could. Ask her about how lovely and weird she is, that's a winner.

[@TMercan31]

Day drinking with Dakota next please!

[@rutsuarez6106]

I can’t believe he called Antonio Banderas “Tony Mendez”.

[@dajosee]

I did not know she is Don Johnson's Daughter.

[@mayatara1980]

Melanie Griffith is the mother

[@andziazach672]

What a gorgeous dress!!!

[@PM2024-]

Damn. She is a super fox!! And better now than ten years ago 💕

[@FinBrennan]

The comment section talks more about the sketch than the video itself 😂

[@tonyrodriguez2943]

I’m in love with Dakota Johnson ❤️💗🫶🏻😍🥰😘💋🌹👠👠.

[@jugsteve]

Roast talk starts at 5:44 Seth asks pointless questions until then.

[@MaddogJones]

Thanks Howard Stern for alerting me to this clip...

[@Phyto-Dragon-nb6it]

She's the most SoCal person ever

[@dogtato]

Cha Cha Real Smooth was a great movie about realistic people

[@soukainazouggari2302]

dakota should do day drinking with seth

[@PAVEL--JAKL]

She's so very beautiful..🥰

[@crazynights23]

I really want a movie with her and Aubrey Plaza together lol

[@ghrg]

she is the best talk show guest

[@Phil-tt3xg]

She is hilarious. Great host.

[@jdrancho1864]

Love how we're all commenting on PDD, and nobody cares about Madame Webb.

[@outtakontroll3334]

i think we have our new morticia addams, bring on the script

[@ironman4do]

That dress looks like it was made for a Met Gala or something, not a random appearance on a late night show.

[@nmarshall8995]

Apart from we update that was a funny skit

Next level look ❤

[@BensBoringVideos]

For some reason the most paused moment of the video is at the 0:28 second mark. Can't imagine why. I've had it paused there for 3 minutes now and I still don't see what the big deal is. I'll update this comment as soon as I'm finished.

[@bigj5880]

She's incredible 😍🌹🙏

[@phil4208]

Beautiful, talented and smart, Dakota has it all , when madame web comes to streaming ill watch it , I didn't buy a home theater system for it to just sit there

[@kevinmoore3531]

Wow Dakota you look absolutely amazing so beautiful so talented go girl love you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@hifi-photo-Brian]

KZbin Editing Correction!!!!!! This Video should be one video of the full interview of Dakota Johnson and all of your other interviews. The first part pf the Dakota interview (which is not labeled as the first part you can add PT. 1, PT. 2) has double the amount of views than the second part. To do better on the KZbin algorithm remember -> Videos that are 10min or longer will help your channel out. Your audience won't have to guess which video of the interview is the first part or hunt for the second part. This comment will go on all your interview videos that are 2 parts starting today until your KZbin editor makes the correction! Thanks!

[@ollieoliver3356]

Thank you!! 9 times out of 10 I click on part 2 and then never watch part 1.

[@Illyriamars]

Dakota would be so good for Day Drinking.

[@alydematti]

Dakota is an absolute goddess! 🖤

[@SaijaTuupanenFani1988]

@Late Night whit Seth Mayers ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤#DakotaJohnsson ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@synkthestorm22]

I'm aways astound at how cultural the act of dressing is. I find it really funny how wearing a Nice shirt, pants and shoes is considered "dressing down" in the U.S 😅. Here in Brazil dressing down would be wearing a T-shirt, shorts and a pair of flip-flops 😂

[@wgriffin3460]

Well, there's dressing down, and there's dressing down for work.

[@ssamcobalt4956]

She's amazing

[@olihhayes]

4:42

[@crithon]

now that I think about it, she looks more like her dad than her mother. So weird, never knew that about her.

[@mayumayu9966]

Just love her interviews, really looking forward to Madame Web

[@anadraham2995]

Man she delightful and whatnot 🐧

[@mm9773]

Holy crap.

She’s gorgeous

[@pavcas7454]

She could come naked and still look classy, ​​unlike others. I love her sense of humor and she's gorgeous.

[@denisesalles7248]

Is this the clip Howard Stern was going crazy over?
