He comes off as socially anxious person pushed to their limit, trying to soldier on. I enjoy this type of humor a lot, though, so it was a fun interview to watch anyway.

[@kufitop]

He seems like Joseph Gordon-Levitt's more awkward brother.

[@brennaofarcadia]

That's because he totally is. Lol

[@MrMisuma]

Love & Monsters is an underrated gem.

[@Neurodivergent-j1f]

The best Monster Hunter movie that’s not Monster Hunter.

[@pink4160]

its so well edited i dont get how its so underrated

[@TheFraeuleinGlitzer]

Facts.

[@SynWOS]

Love & Monsters 2 WHEN????!!!!!!

[@noellenn2122]

I watch it at least 1x every year if not more.

[@lolchabs]

i love dylan because he’s this really talented actor but also just a guy. like the way he is in interviews gives such anxious normal person vibes 😭 10/10 no notes

[@mayflower7811]

Same he is going to be amazing in this movie

[@purpleamber1]

Agreed. He's been the same for years.

[@mayflower7811]

@@purpleamber1 I hope he wins a golden globe for this role

[@venusdesmilos]

Some of these comments, relax. I thought this interview went really well, also do yourself a favor and watch other Dylan O’Brien interviews and learn his humor lol. Like this went really well in my eyes and I thought he had great chemistry with Seth. He looked very comfortable.

[@millymillymilly]

Right? I’m so confused by the comments, this was a great interview:

[@rachelwiesbrock]

The way I would kill for a Dylan O’Brien x Seth Meyer’s buddy cop comedy 😂

[@mayflower7811]

I hope that happens

[@leefi1]

Dylan is a fine actor, a genuinely funny man, and is really likable, too. His ability to portray really different characters and disappear into the roles, is amazing considering his age. Many of our most famous male leads, past and present, never play anyone but themselves. I may be in my 70's, but I never missed a "Teen Wolf" episode, it was really enjoyable!

[@notjustafangirl7313]

When he said he'd been watching 7th Heaven, I remembered that Tyler Hoechlin was in that show, and I don't think I've ever seen the whole show, though I have seen part of it, so I may need to watch it again myself.

[@mayflower7811]

Exactly talk about irony

[@beckyowens2635]

lol Tyler is still Martin Brewer in my head, also I can definitely picture Dylan teasing Tyler about it when his character pops up 😂

[@emilycaltania7375]

Dylan O’Brien back on national television we are so back

[@episkeyss]

i ran to watch this when i saw he was on! thought they would have talked about the movie more but always happy to see Dylan. genuinely one of the best actors of his generation (comedy and drama!) and i will never stop yelling that from the rooftops, he deserves more recognition ✌️

[@saywhatKavs]

Dylan O'brien is one of my most favorite actors and truly wish I could see him more....

[@sidewaysdesign]

Met Dan Akroyd on the street in Toronto some time ago - he really is just the nicest guy.

[@wizrad2099]

I wonder if Maze Runner and Teen Wolf were agreed in advance to be off the table, because I find it hard to believe that two of his most well known roles were not mentioned at all in this interview beyond a reminder that he was in them to the crowd. I was less than enthralled by the Maze Runner series, but he really stole the show in Teen Wolf. I used to tell people that I'd love to see him take on basically any role that a young Jim Carrey would have, or even a reboot of one of Carrey's characters like Ace Ventura.

[@melissawalsh8760]

He came to promote the snl movie so that's what was asked about the most, but I would not be shocked if his injury from Maze Runner was off the table.

[@animelandland8495]

That's better if that's the case, he's there for SNL and that should be their only focus

[@SarahEm67]

Oh, cannot wait for the hilarity when he reaches Hoechlin's 7th Heaven Era

[@padfootsgurl8179]

I need to know his reaction to that xD

[@dstojanovic9]

Day drinking when?!?!? That episode would be epic and need to be at least 30 minutes long!

[@larry-g8e]

Finally an honest actor.Not pretending.

[@CoryDominic]

This interview had me laughing from beginning to end.

[@WaterCourseKi]

He's so sooo high, 😶‍🌫😂! I love that laugh that bubbles just underneath the surface!

[@smuksillytimes6786]

he’s not high? he just has a sense of humor💀 if you’d look into more of his interviews you’d understand that..

[@venusdesmilos]

He’s not lol, this is normal behavior for him. Since his Teen Wolf days!

[@animelandland8495]

He's not high wtf, 😂😂😂 he's just socially awkward, I bet you haven't seen people actually being high

[@peachesandpoets]

Dylan is still so fine

[@Summer826]

he re-entered his prime fr

[@npeliroja89]

Dylan is great & so likeable.

[@LibBorahae]

I dont usually watch interviews, but I really enjoyed this one! I loved the energy between Dylan ans Seth. It was definitely awkward but never felt forced. I might have to watch more of Seth's interviews

[@rayrodriguez7367]

Loved him on Curb

[@amyb0621]

oh my god the things id let this man do to me are IMMESURABLE

[@marydaley4144]

Love the trailer, excellent portrayal. I will watch.

[@JM-zo5me]

Dylan O’brien as Bob in Bobs Burgers

[@georgerodarte8549]

Maybe it's me. On my behalf, I have a life and don't watch that much tv. I have no idea who this guy is. But he's funny.

[@Annette_Grainger]

You bring a smile to so many people's faces Thank you for your great videos

[@lashendawest7509]

We love dylan o'brien

[@lokisbitterghost]

something about this video is so goddamn funny this is the funniest video ive ever seen

[@davidbennett2539]

Well... tell Dylan, "Yes, it was a little clumsy, but it worked." He managed to look cool.

[@carnalbliss7616]

This is great to watch. I like Dylan a lot. He’s definitely high though. 😂

[@smuksillytimes6786]

no he’s not…he comes off as an awkward or anxious person and that’s just his humor. If you’d look into more of his interviews you’d know that?

[@venusdesmilos]

He’s not, this is normal behavior for him lol. Like very normal, since Teen wolf.

[@animelandland8495]

He's not high lol, 😅😅 what a weird comment

[@userluvsbyler]

brown looks so good on him

[@itstruckmeeveryday]

I fuckin love Dylan O’Brien ❤

[@elissonfarias3918]

he nailed it like Dan Aykroyd

[@janey3407]

He act'ly sounds like Bill Hader in the movie clip? 🤣

[@jasperlevien5968]

Heck yeah! I found the first season at Goodwill a bit ago 😂😂😂 the nostalgia ❤

[@rozyy15]

I wish they gave the guests more time so they can settle in a little more. I was enjoying this and didn’t want it to end. 😊

[@Maze-editz]

DYLAN omg ur so precious thank you for doing this and we’re all so proud of you (says the fangirl)❤

[@isidorajaeger7123]

I swear dylan is such a cutie and such a great actor. I love him sm ❤

[@biancadwiggins]

i just love him

[@iluvturkeys9010]

The way my smile dropped when he said “my girlfriend”

[@kristajohnson9173]

Wow he's doing a really great Dan Akroyd. I feel like all the teen stuff he did back when really limited him for casting, so it's nice that they're letting him move into roles he can actually excel in and probably enjoy more than that stuff he did. Like Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson trying to get something meatier lol

[@somebodyto2]

party of five was waaaaaay better!

[@confused_reader]

the hardest I've laughed all week

[@Cecelia_tmr0thg]

HES NOT HIGH STUPIDS!! Thats how he ACTS learn about him and watch other interviews! and he gets nervous before interviews. LEARN YOUR AMAZING DYLAN!!!❤️❤️🙏

[@1CallmeLILY]

Dylan watching !!!! 7th haven which tyler hoechlin acted in 😭 (hobrien is real )

[@noamkeinan4658]

he just keeps getting handsomer.

[@lindabarnhouse3724]

Is anyone going to tell him Stephen Collins got canceled for trying to get with teenage girls?

[@eyeknow8009]

if it's a good show who cares? 😂 I've never seen it but i wouldn't watch it despite what Stephen did 😂

[@katrinalentsch9662]

Sorry but probably no reunion of 7th heaven. The dad was a bad man in real life.

[@aliciasanchez6981]

An absolute prince🫶🏼

[@eyeknow8009]

lmao yea bro's faded as hell 😂😂

[@animelandland8495]

Nope, he's 😂 just like that

[@SareshaTV]

I thought this was a good interview! Watched it last night but I definitely wanted to rewatch since I probably missed some stuff first go round. Wow you’d think Dylan was telling these hilarious jokes the whole time cause the audience was laughing at everything he said lol but what cracks me up is him actually auditioning for frozen 2! You know I thought he was joking about that the entire time (especially with him having a KZbin video dedicated to him auditioning but never getting in lol) but I’d love to see a video of him singing in that audition room!

[@padfootsgurl8179]

I didn't really like the questions that Seth Meyers asked, he kind of made it awkward and didn't ask good questions. He even admitted at the end that he hadn't really seen anything that Dylan was in after he had asked about a failed audition. I'd be uncomfortable and feel awkward, too.

[@IvaSlovi]

love this man

[@Summer826]

why does everyone think hes high 😭😭

[@jdhowell916]

Is that really the best clip for him from the movie

[@csen96]

Dylan eased into it eventually… but yeah… pretty conscious in the beginning… it’s tough!

[@noellenn2122]

That’s a very different Dylan O’Brien from the one in Curb Your Enthusiasm. 😅

[@privateprivate5302]

Dylan is Like Gen Zillineal they are one syllable, sarcastic innuendo laced doofs.... Its their authentic cool 😎

[@hatifnat13]

He was born in 1991 it's still pretty much millenial. Zillenials are more 93-97

[@nannerz1994]

Oh my God he looks just like Dan aykroyd

[@kallen868]

None of them really look like who they're supposed to be playing. Especially Gilda.

maze runner came out 10 years ago yesterday 😭

Would have liked him as the new Batman/Bruce Wayne

I want him to host snl

Has he ever appeared on a talk show. He seems like this is not something he’s done.

Obrien is a perfectly fine actor, but looks nothing like Aykroyd. And didnt the 7th heaven dad get in some serious trouble?

[@edene.4870]

I really like Dylan O'Brian and most of what he starred in. But damn, what was that? That was painfully awkward to watch. Seth really didn't know what to ask him, and Dylan couldn't play it off and bridge it.

[@shopbubblies4479]

He’s been like this. What u got against awkward ppl ? Also u spelled his name wrong

[@user-lx1yr1gf4s]

He’s been this weird in public appearances ever since he got called out for dating a racist transphobe

Stop Judging. He is a fun akward person that likes to have fun. So what?!? Maybe you can learn something from him. I think he is hilarious. But thats just my opinion. Have a nice day.

[@jesperjee]

Why?

[@silverXnoise]

I thought this comment would have been better. 🫤

[@melvinjoseph952]

The reason why people are usually so smooth in these interviews is because they usually do pre-interviews to get their story straight Dylan seems to have told his rep to take care of it, and went in blind

[@hippopotamusbosch]

@@melvinjoseph952 I usually skip the celebrity interviews but Dylan is usually hilarious. He really made Seth work for it.

[@melvinjoseph952]

@@hippopotamusbosch While Colbert's top interviews are some of the best ever (George RR Martin, Dakota Johnson, Rebecca Ferguson), he's not nearly as consistent as Seth, and probably wouldn't have handled O'brien as well Chris O'Malley and the 2 from Renee Rapp are some of Seth's recent ones off the top of my head, that are really great

[@jordancaiman3107]

I mean, at least President Biden had a legendary career in politics (whether you like him or not, that’s a fact). It’s a *DISGRACE* how he was treated by 0bama, Pel0si, etc. VP Harris is just... like what..? I don't mean to sound disrespectful, but we all know she wouldn't be where she is without her past... interactions... with Willie Brown. This Democrat will not be voting for Trump this November. Hopefully the Democratic Party has a better candidate in 2028…
