Eddie is so goddamn charming in his dorky, hilarious nature - always had the biggest crush on him ❤

[@lfgarza]

Me too.

[@D7L7S]

Eddie was PHENOMENAL in Cabaret and so nice and humble in greeting the crowd and signing autographs after the show! So deserving of all the rave.

[@JewishJeff839]

"Worst Musical In Broadway History".

[@sarkahalastova9667]

Eddie’s hands are pure poetry.

[@Awidferd]

[@staceydowns8682]

THAT was thee traditional Bob Fosse fingers. We've always said, if your fingers are open wide, that means your brain is asleep. Well Done!

[@camara1194]

and he can serenade me with his poetry

[@camara1194]

and i want him to hold me like a baby while he serenades me with that poetry.

[@S.Shea2432]

He’s so humble, & down to earth!! The story about his Mama being his date for the awards. The moment he won, & all. Aww. My Heart!! 💜

[@Awidferd]

It's so sweet😭😭

[@TJMcDonough]

I went to see this on Broadway with my Dad two weeks ago. And no joke, at the end of the show, Redmayne was staring at me until the lights went out. I was in the second row of the mezzanine. It was probably the best production I've ever seen. Eddie was incredible and probably my favorite Emcee.

[@azarml]

I was in the 9th row of the mezz and he didn't stare at me...but it was fantastic anyway. We went 3 wks ago.

[@Awidferd]

I saw it yesterday!!! He was fantastic :)

[@Twinflame654]

I was farther away and saw it in mid April. This cast was amazing

[@RachelManemeit]

I saw Cabaret and he is next level talented. Watch how his whole demeanor changes when he puts on the little hat, he slides into character!!

[@RuizsPieces-ji8ed]

Tickle the balls Fallon! 😂 Eddie is the sweetest person ever!

[@sueb1337]

Ran into him on the streets of NYC last week. Such a nice guy! Hope I get a chance to see this performance!

[@paraviviane]

Saw him on Sunday in NYC as well. I did not approach but he looked great!

[@mikelkirby2791]

I fell in love with Mr. Eddie from 'Fantastic Beasts' (seen it innumerable times) and thought him to be the "real life hero" of these magical creatures. Only then to realize by his later roles, that he is a "Unicorn"...truly mythical.

[@ksrt2654]

"You tickle ze balls!"!!!!! There is no emoji to express my reaction to this.

[@RaymondHng]

8:30 Tickle the balls, Jimmy. Don't slap them.

[@bjdlvr]

He was absolutely phenomenal in 'The Theory of Everything'. I have never seen an actor in a better performance.

[@bmags4188]

“So… which one is Stephen hawking” lmaoooo I laughed out loud

I like how his microphone is the same colour as his shirt

This guy, his acting, all captured me from Pillars of the Earth. Brilliant Sublime Stunning every time

[@NegarArvanaghi]

Exactly, no one ever mentions that he was in that and acting against Rufus Sewell and Matthew Macfadyen at a young age.

[@YOitsJUDY]

So happy to see Eddie! It's been a minute 🫶🏼

[@GalacticGiraffee]

Absolutely adore this play and Eddie, I wish we got to see more of Wilkommen here as I cannot attend the play.

[@leahmoore6820]

The Tonys are the best. "Tickle the balls, Fallon!"

My cousin went to NY recently and Eddie stopped and talked to her and signed her playbill. She was so happy.

[@nicholasgarrick8855]

Eddie is so beautiful, and talented.

[@JewishJeff839]

"Beautiful"? With that weird skin?

[@sai_lysummer_days5650]

The way this man embodied this role… If you notice right about 8:10 when he says to Jimmy “No, come on. Keep on” Even when he broke character in a minimum amount of time, he still kept the accent and attitude. That’s when you truly spot a worker of art.

[@graceline0928]

It’s always pleasing to see Eddie on talk show :-)

[@auntieashcraft]

This show was absolutely incredible in every way. Go and sit at a table beside the stage. Your wallet will hurt, but you won't be sorry! Eddie and cast are amazing.

[@lisahbobisa]

It's so great to see him again, always found him so super likeable!

[@ainatler]

Great Great Great, actor and performer!!!!

We have a same spot like sitting on sofa like that I always sit like that😂

[@ellaglorix9230]

Watching this with my headphones in the school library, where I'm supposed to be studying took it to a whole knew "try not laugh challenge" level 😅😂

[@williamjones7163]

This is why I watch Fallon every night.

[@evawilldrive]

Eddie Redmayne seems already fit for a very good teacher! I'm happy to see this video Jimmy and Eddie!

[@Aqualyra]

😂 oh Eddie, you sly wag, you embarrassed the heck out of poor Jimmy with that tickle the balls line. 🤣😂

[@azarml]

We saw Cabaret earlier this month - excellent!

[@tizbean]

If I had a nickel for every time Eddie went on this show and showed Jimmy how to do a weird semi-embarrassing dance, I’d have 2 nickels

[@vincentlim1469]

I went to watch the show at the Broadway's Kitkat club. Real amazing performance by Eddie as the MC.

[@hoffbauerbori]

“Tickle the balls, Fallon, tickle the balls!” I almost fell off the couch I was laughing so hard. 🤣🤣🤣 I love these guys!

[@rebeccabello3103]

I love Eddie Redmayne!

[@HeadoftheSeniorClass-en6qp]

Great stuff, and so entertaining!

[@blu48]

Just read an article from Page Six saying there have been some drunk unruly disruptive audience members watching Eddie's Cabaret. It is nice seeing him speak highly of the American audience as I'm sure the majority are. giving and appreciative of seeing this show.

[@kimmyawesomeness4184]

probably because the dinner served to the "table seats" before the show includes alcohol

[@davidortmann5408]

My favorite actor - I could watch his hands move for hours.

[@NusretTaras-kp9mv]

Great Interview With Eddie

[@michelleikoma2953]

One of my all time favourite musicals. The Joel Gray soundtrack got played A LOT! I even taught my kids Money makes ze World go ‘Round!

[@MP-lq3xx]

usually Jimmy is good on mimicing moves...this time not so much. He also seemed more selfconcious then usual...Eddieis great and makes you realize how talented he is..making it look so easy, when really is not..

Just in case any of my kids is reading this/ you could not give me a better gift of sublime happiness than to escort me to Broadway to see this absolutely brilliant, performer with no peer, in Cabaret.. if I were Aladdin I would have polished that lantern to a blinding glow.

[@waltgodsoe9111]

A masterpiece of Broadway, Cabaret

[@yumrvt40]

I'd love to see this show! Eddye (the correct spelling of his first name) Redmane is wonderful.

[@shqa574]

Jimmy Fallon should perform Cabaret on stage.

[@SpencerMusicSchool]

Hysterical. I have had the pleasure of performing the role of the MC a few times. The new revival is so unique and fresh. The immersive experience and the mix of childlike imagery with the grotesquery and Cabaret depravity makes the show even that more disturbing. Where can you go see a musical and get your balls tickled at the same time LOL?

[@ClaudeMary]

Eddie Redmayne... 🥰

[@daddychadwick]

Jimmy is kinda dressed up as Mr. Bean lmaooo I can't unsee it... the exact same outfit and I remember there was an episode where he had the hat as well lmaooo💀💀😭😂
