That "So what?" from Emma really sums up her appeal. She doesn't give a crap that she's famous, she just wants to excel.

[@emu_warrior]

she's so authentic and natural, doesn't put on a "show" for the audience, just acts herself and is super sweet

[@littlebighumancom]

Yes we must worship her, live life vicariously through her, it makes us feel better, escape our own ugly lives. This person we don't really know at all.

[@ScaleScarborough-jq8zx]

Idolater!

[@fieldsofhorsesroam8488]

💯!!!!

[@ohJettzen]

I mean, how would you know 🤔

[@sarahbgln]

"So WHAT." I love she is genuinely ticked off haha

[@nunyabiznez666]

To know she's actually a geek makes me love her even more ❤

[@Bekka_Noyb]

fellow geek girl here! ♥

[@Dadtheimpaler]

If I remember correctly, she geeked out being on iCarly quite some time ago. She's absolutely a treasure.

[@kylebeschler03]

I'm sort of a geek In some ways. But this side of her is Interesting, maybe a little intimidating lol

[@Booshis_journey]

Amen! ❤

[@Friendship1nmillion]

And to boot , she's Not homophobic . Though sadly not Catholic either . ♑️✍️🇳🇴🇦🇺

[@DJKevvyKevCoolBreeze]

"Any Jeopardy you're on is gonna be Celebrity Jeopardy" LMAO

[@TechnologicallyTechnical]

Unfortunately there can never be another celebrity jeopardy without Turd Ferguson

[@chantiki90]

he introduced her as “oscar-nominee, emma stone,” which, to be fair, is true that she is nominated for best actress this year for poor things. however… that girl is already an OSCAR WINNER🤩

[@photovincent]

Love how seriously she takes this!

[@typicalrockandroll]

I know I’m not the most fun person in the world but Emma Stone seems like she would be really fun to hangout with.

[@Countfoscolikesmice]

the pinot grigio joke deserved better just for the effort

[@yurielcundangan9090]

Stone always is gorgeous

[@mitchellkuhn1396]

Those were some gorgeous staccato articulations from the saxophones 😤😤😤

[@MatthewGClarke]

If you didn't get Emma to do the Colbert Questionert we riot!

[@mrjorgepasquel]

HEY HEY HEY true, that is true, yes

[@eco2geek.]

When I was a kid, we had a toy that was a mouse puppet with the name "Topo Gigio" on his shirt. Never knew what that referred to until now.

[@stevechance150]

Your trivia education is now complete. You may proceed to the next level.

[@lirianoc]

Topo Gigio was big in Latin America. He had a famous show with a man called "Raulito".

[@JadeValour]

I used to love those little segments. Especially when Topolino would say, at the end, “Eddie, keeeeeeeess me goooodnight!”, and get all embarrassed when Ed Sullivan would kiss his cheek.❤

[@lisaisaprincess23]

In The Santa Claus (1994) during the interrogation scene, Santa says 'Topo Gigio!' I've been watching that movie once per year for years now, never understood that reference until now 🤷‍♀

[@movingforwardLDTH]

I knew of Topo Gigio and could identify him, but never knew that he was from the Ed Sullivan Show…

[@flyfree78644]

Love that girl and her magic eyes

[@Clontarf254]

This pseudo-Jeopardy arrangement is top notch. So peaceful.

[@chuyocaca4153]

1💯 percent like her Honesty! NO High school diploma No major in college.

[@ernestomarcos0103]

Lol Tipo Gigio is still super common here in Argentina because football players would use it as a goal celebration (more famously by Riquelme but also used by Messi against The Netherlands).

[@alphajava761]

She got many softball questions, I know because I knew the answers and I'm horrible at trivia. She's cool. Hope she gets on Jeopardy. I'm sure she could take on much tougher questions.

[@NikkLiberos]

Topo Gigio was very popular in several places, I see. 80s kids and even older knew him in Spain as well.

[@Airujah]

He was very popular in Mexico too, I loved him when I was a kid, hehe.

[@minhquanguyen]

I thought she was going to say, "What is Moonlight?" for that last one.

[@emmellas]

i absolutely love the way that she wants to get on jeapardy on account of her own merit rather than relying on celebrity status of any kind. it's extremely admirable to me because as she says, while there are obviously some contestants who are genuinely smart, you basically get to bypass the process and by contrast, she just wants to work hard and make it in on account of that alone. "so what" it's clear she doesn't think being a celebrity makes you entitled and it's refreshing but i wonder if she knows not everyone who passes the test gets in though because they randomize who's selected out of those who do pass 😭 she said once she practices every night and you can tell she's extremely intelligent so i'm sure she has passed. would be very cool to see her on there one day !!

[@lisadiane55]

Emma is feisty! That aside, I remember Topo Gigio. "Eddie, kiss me goodnight".

[@laalaa99stl]

That look in Strephen's eyes. I dare you. I double dog dare you to get the LOTR question wrong!

[@henrygvidonas9573]

The Eye Of Steve-ron.

[@theurbanshaman]

Celebrity Jeopardy is always easier that Jeopardy. Fight me.

[@madmaxandrade]

In fact, the legendary SNL Celebrity Jeopardy was created when Norm McDonald realized that the celebrities always got way easier questions than the regular contestants.

[@lustforlimerence]

it’s INSANELY easy. like way easier than college or high school jeopardy. i see why they would make it that easy though - most entertainers aren’t using what they learned in school often enough to remember it for a televised trivia game (a lot of them didn’t even go to school) and they’re playing for charity so of course we want them to get the questions right.

[@TonyCrenshawsLatte]

Why fight you? You spoke facts.

[@babasovka]

It is known.

[@abbywilson5988]

That's a fact no one would argue against... Not sure why you think it's a hot take

[@littleshopofrandom685]

Most people would do this as a bit for the interview, she's actually dead serious. I like it. haha.

[@worthless_opinion]

She's so charming.

[@laalaa99stl]

I think you would have had to actually watch the old Ed Sullivan shows to get the Topo Gigio question right. Don't feel bad, Emma!

[@littleshopofrandom685]

I've never seen and ed sullivan show and I knew that character. Its still common *enough* in pop culture that a younger person would reasonably know it.

[@ChipMunky]

The only reason anyone would remember that character is due to Tim Allen referencing it in The Santa Clause :D

[@littleshopofrandom685]

@@ChipMunky I mostly remember it from being referenced in SCTV

[@TheInternetFan]

2:25 ma dài! Topo Gigio all' Ed Sullivan show? è la prima volta che lo sento, io lo ricordo solo per lo Zecchino D'Oro 😂😂 🎉

[@JoshHani]

Emma Stone has a beautiful laughter... I did not know that.

[@lindablue7494]

Great Questions. Love Emma Stone, and Topo Gigio. Awesome interview with her. I have loved her work since Rock Star, and Easy A. Great Actress.

[@hommedterre1]

I like her a lot better when she appears here in Europe on the Graham Norton Show. She truly is her natural self.

[@Ottee2]

She seemed excessively nervous, here.

[@emmellas]

emma has diagnosed generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder and has said she's more comfortable around friends (i.e. mark) but that generally interviews and press equate to her overthinking every word that comes out of her mouth. she's not intentionally trying to be inauthentic. she simply is an extremely anxious person and it's unfortunate how often she's misperceived because of it.

[@tcuster55]

Every body seems more natural on Grahm Norton.

[@michaeldiogenesbest6127]

An Honorary Doctorate in Jeopardy Excellence......

[@Chironicus]

Such a flow between these electric souls. A lovely dance.

[@garyperkovac1002]

Emma Stone played here role in "La La Land" with an ease of believability. What struck me where her fully present eyes.

[@julianamolinasilva9206]

She’s so cuteeeee, love her

[@luciferkkx1878]

So nice episode I want to see it again once or at once

[@KaiserSaucy]

Louis casually showing off he can ALSO play the trombone is one of the nerdiest upstages of all time! 👏👏👏

[@shoddypockets9666]

I love this guy. He's authentic and smart. He never does the over the top false laugh the rest do. 😊

[@watsonaqua4560]

I adore her. Gifted actress

[@elenamazzoni4929]

I’m Italian and never in my life I would have thought Topo Gigio would be mentioned on a famous talk show, in 2024 😂 I know he was famous in America because he went on The Ed Sullivan Show a couple of times but didn’t know he was that famous

[@estherkag]

love her, love her sooooo much ‹3333

[@Kgothatsolhosie]

i wouldn't be able to guess poor things too

[@GaZZuM]

I gambled on this being part 1 of the interview and lost 😢

[@stephenpastena8583]

I've always found it interesting that comedians seem to have the best track record on celebrity jeopardy.

[@senguptasayn]

She seems really sweet.

[@soniafaye9919]

She’s darling❤

[@madmaxandrade]

TIL that Topo Gigio was a regular in the Ed Sullivan show.

[@joshuahoover7944]

The synergy here❤️‍🔥 #colbertlateshow

[@randychampion184]

I'm Bajan and I knew almost all those answers (without Googling!) lol

[@donross7820]

My favorite actress! I never get tired of Birdman.

[@jown3940]

i just love emma more

[@jensenbell]

Black bird... fly... and your mama is still aliiiiiiiiiiiiive

[@rwmorey71]

I got all the Jeopardy questions right except for the mouse one. I guess I could be on Jeopardy!

[@EnlightenedIllusions]

❤Speaking of impressive❤

[@cathyhere7015]

Emma! Fell in love with you with *THE HELP* Rock on!

[@marcgoldstein2957]

Her Oscar is SO WELL DESERVED!

[@scottthomas9391]

I got every questiom lol

[@davidglasspool4921]

potent potables

[@Bdhstl95]

I got them all n I’m too young for Ed Sullivan. Just had really old Grandparents.

[@babasovka]

I'd never really known who she was, got her mixed up with the other Emmas, but I loved the Favourite and now the Curse....I just adore her, she is so smart and funny. Can't wait to see Poor Things. I sort of feel like I'm rooting for an underdog though I keep finding out she was in big Hollywood movies I haven't seen, ha ha.

[@Aptster1939]

Yeonmi Park!Yeonmi Park!Yeonmi Park!!!

[@brunobruno1152]

That is incorrect, unfortunately. The right answer is Ed Sullivan!

[@AloshiyasAntonyraj]

Nice 😁 laughing

[@CynicalSerperior]

Something Emma could consider is that the winner of Celebrity Jeopardy gets invited to the Tournament of Champions.

[@rockturtleneck]

Would be really funny if she was on regular Jeopardy and there was no acknowledgement of her celebrity status.

[@missg.5940]

SNL. Get her to host and then do exactly that for a jeopardy sketch

[@elvis1745]

She really is one cool chick

[@ThatOpalGuy]

Poor Things is a great movie.

[@marialeduc6770]

topo gigio!

[@geoafe66]

🔥🔥

[@theunknownunknowns5168]

Thus far I adore that lady.

Easy A 2 coming soon to a theater near you where Emma Stone goes to high school and gets nothing but easy As and gets her diploma. Edit: Just got news that Easy A 3 will also be featured where Emma Stone goes to college and easy As keep dropping left and right, except P.E. where she got a C after breaking a bone and bowing out early from the class.

[@mytexasdays1526]

Your entire studio audience and home viewers now have a chance to be a contestant on jeopardy. Way too easy.

[@fredricclack7137]

TOPO! 😊

[@debra5915]

Your turn Jeopardy staff. Though she didn't know Topo Gigio, which doesn't help her potential contestant qualifications.

[@bluemoon3264]

She’s cool 🤙 .

[@Vvgghgbbvc]

If you like Emma Stone, and I do, you get to see a lot of Emma Stone. I liked it, and on some levels I loved Poor Things. This movie would be a culture shock for some, so take a couple of them if you all are older than 17. You will have a fun and interesting time. ❤😊

[@stevechance150]

I've said the same thing about Scarlett Johansson and the film "Under The Skin".

[@annarose3354]

Why would you have a list for me?

[@jeffwilliams8074]

That girl is F I N E, fine!

[@user-sl7jx7jf6m]

well rehearsed Emma Stone.

[@EricOlsenCMO]

I am identically as smart as Emma Stone.

[@fearsomeworrier]

That's pretty impressive, considering she's too young to have seen Ed Sullivan's show and must've been about four when Carson went off the air.

[@damonmcrea1275]

I want to eat apples for some reason

[@isaiahhatten7973]

And?

[@DSAK55]

she reminds me of Jodie Foster

[@bettersecret1499]

This fake jeopardy bit wasn't particularly interesting, other than the fact that I love Topo Gigio

[@Phil-tt3xg]

If cbs can give Tony Romo 100 million dollars to butcher commentary, they can afford that song, they just don't wanna pay for it. P.s. that snippet of music would've given more people pleasure then Romo has in his whole career.
