Emotional Interview with Ben Stiller

[@diulikadikaday]

Ben Stiller is soo fast. So quick with the wit.

[@Rex67Diego9]

+diulikadikaday yeah but he should've stopped a bit, jimmy's acting obviously sucks and in the jealous of each other part they both were talking crazy, noone was listening anymore

[@zeek10010]

His parents were a professional improv duo so I think it runs in the blood

[@Adiaf8oros]

+diulikadikaday Well he obviously knew them before, to be a bit prepared beforehand. Very little is 100% improvised in TV.

[@tommybasham-oo7qf]

@@Rex67Diego9 "noone" is that like Boone? I didn't know that's one word now, wow, is that pig Latin?

[@Rex67Diego9]

tommy basham noone gives a shit about spelling in the internet, you fucking looser

[@KittyPieVibes]

Ben transitioned into those like nothing! "haha yeah, (ding) let me ask you something, do you love your country ._. ?"

IKR like he already predicted the next topic 😐

[@siola4677]

+Full Series it's scripted and well prepared to be entertaining.

[@privateNukem]

Meh. It's not that hard to be naturally funny.

[@-postapokalypso-7289]

Think so too because I watched them and sometimes they just looked at each other when prompts came up. Normally you would need at least a second to read them...

[@glacio95]

Ben Stiller is stupid good at improv it doesn't even make sense

[@brentdraper4382]

its all prerehearsed dude.

[@fgdfghsfg]

it is not

[@invidioustv8890]

Or he's just that good at improv...?

[@anupriyaranjan7643]

Andrea Diagbouga he's crazy stupid fine at it

[@spurnthemuse]

I never seen anybody who was famous (or unfamous) for improv who was good at it. SF improv theater in the seventies and blah. Levin O'Connor's improv theater on internet and blah. Jonathan Winters (secretly was a nazi in ww2 under another name) way FAMOUS for improv. Borin as all git-out.

[@ReelRai]

Holy shit Ben comes up with this shit fast. I can barely read the clue and he's already come up with something witty.

[@thekonsti4712]

Raphael thats because it is rehearsed

[@smooth9431]

theKonsti I don’t think it is. A lot of game shows on here are but this one seems real

The clues are shown to us on the screen a bit late.. but there the cue cards guy shows the clues a bit before.. watch at 1:13 ben looks at the clues from the corner of his eye..

[@sakinakins]

Ben Stiller and Robert Downey Jr were the best in the emotional interviews

[@mariannedevera6509]

[@pooface5]

+Sakinah Ibisomi this was the best though

[@harmonydevaney9630]

yeah

[@Rex67Diego9]

[@sakinakins]

[@STEPHAN61001]

+Atelierul lui Tudor yeah she's good too. I've seen her be really funny on Ellen. But she is just being herself. I don't know if she would be good at this game.

[@johnfuller183]

Ben didn't break once. He was so natural the entire time. Very talented guy.

[@Hairyhole1]

I was shocked jimmy didn't run the show on this one! he tried talking over ben but ben just said no no no and left jim speechless!

[@mattjrm3847]

Let me ask where would Jimmy run and how did Ben leave him speechless?

[@delia1985]

Adam You mean you're surprised the host of a comedy show baring his name would try to participate in a conversation between only him and his guest? shocked

[@TheLegendaryLinx]

Bens a master at improv

[@violeta585]

*I'm confused, is Jimmy trying to talk over Ben or is he speechless? - _ -* This was supposed to be an improv. *conversation/dialogue*, not a Stiller monologue...

[@ericalexander3816]

Jimmy just repeat whatever Ben said.

[@MrAtaguas]

It's been a while. Did you find it?

[@shadapakap]

"Let me ask you, are you regular?"

[@abhiu2398]

You can tell that Fallon deliberately started letting Stiller have the stage in this bit when he saw how good Stiller was at improv. I think that's one of the reasons he's such a good talk show host.

[@Evija3000]

+Abhishek Uchil To me it looked like they were constantly talking over each other.

[@jessegarcia8407]

+Evija3000 it looked like Ben Stiller was stealing the show and Jimmy Fallon looked like he was trying to gain control of the improvisation but Ben was really good. When they're doing the sexual tension Fallon was mimicking Ben's pitch and tone. Ben > Fallon. It really seems like Fallon tries to out do his guests on his show, which is tasteless. I like what he brings to the show with the skits and all but when a guess/star is on a roll don't try to take the spotlight away.

[@Rex67Diego9]

+Abhishek Uchil more like jimmy couldn't keep up with ben with the improvs and jimmy couldn't just stop laughing

[@user-vi9ng4dt5r]

For me Fallon came across as trying really hard to one up Stiller

[@rogerb7729]

Ben made this mediocre idea super awesome!!!

[@violeta585]

It's actually a very good idea, but the outcome can be mediocre if you don't have the right ppl playing...that's why they chose to do this w/ a very charismatic, experienced comedian, actor, improv. guy, comedy writer and not a super model/chef/newbie actor etc.

[@nadkert]

In fact: this good idea is without interest if there is not a dynamic duo. And there is. Very funny. In good faith.
