[@kevincucumber1118]

The bromance between these two is contagious

[@kevindaun4298]

I love it when the people that are getting interviewed doesn´t advertise anything at the end of the episode! They are just happy to be there and enjoyed it. This interview actually made me like Jake more than I already do 😭

[@KABOBkabob]

I mean, he's still there to promote his new movie which is mentioned at the beginning

[@jacksonfromm8365]

I’ve watched a lot of hot ones episodes, I mean maybe 90% of them and this is one of my favorites. The rollercoaster of emotion jake takes us on is so entertaining. Didn’t want this to end.

[@gabrielbrown9013]

He looks like he snorted a line of coke right before the camera turned on

[@CataclysmicDuck]

I've watched over 90% as well and I wholeheartedly agree. This was an incredible video. 😂😂😂 I loved it so much

[@andyqv-goodvibes1900]

same!

[@pickledjesus517]

Wow, what a great interview! I haven’t seen a lot of interviews of Jake but he seems like a really cool guy. I’ve never rewound an episode so many times. Love to hear the crew laughing with them

[@sisiramadhon4653]

The best part is when he said "Oh this is great. No, I hate the sauce, but THIS IS great." Ahhhhh my heartttttt ❤

[@Analblockage]

Jake is one of the most underrated actors out there. How he doesn't have an Oscar is beyond me.

[@gamepoy5056]

I mean he was nominated, so if that's "underrated" then you're setting an extremely high bar lol

[@chand911]

You don't know what words mean.

[@NexSicarius]

He's definitely not underrated, and as for not having an Oscar, Leo was robbed many, many times until he finally got one, so that's fine

[@joakimhultman8981]

Jarhead is a superior movie etc

[@v3rtigo_]

He should’ve won it for Prisoners.

[@SolBuster]

Jake seems like such a genuine human being. He does not come off as unapproachable at all.

[@JorTravels]

I love Jake more now than I ever have. He is like the frat guy that comes up with the initiation.. then hugs you and is your bff after the fact.

[@hansolobutimdead]

16:53 For a second I thought he was gonna say "It's that time of the month" my heart skipped a beat

[@mp_1231]

Favorite part: his heart started racing, he thought he'd die, he looked at the man who caused this... and professed his love. Beautiful.

[@ifur666]

the way he had the whole crew laughing… i love him so much

[@sethbrooks8889]

Sean is the best version of a gyroid from animal crossing, and Jack is the best version of Tom Cruise haha

[@enmanuel961]

This is the most I have laughed on a Hot Ones episode 😂😂😂😂 I freaking love Jake Gyllenhaal

[@nrgao]

His answer about the David sculpture next to the slaves sculpture as a metaphor for every artists journey might be one of the most simple yet perfectly stated expressions of a complex idea that I've ever heard. I feel like most artists start out chasing perfection and then slowly realize that the imperfections and personal interpretations are truly what elevates the art to that level of real human connection.

[@alexanderpena1991]

word my brotha

[@katiebug607]

Love this

[@jsmithers.]

​@@katiebug607🤡

[@kevan1206]

in a way, the explanation itself is art

[@camillehoward141]

❤❤❤

[@DKVR]

This was probably my favorite episode. Jake is so full of engery, so naturally charming and funny. It was like eating a hot meal with an old friend and not just an interview. He had great answers to the questions but also filled the show with improved and personality. Amazing.

[@gewhiz1494]

100%

[@angelherrera356]

“Honestly I have nothing going right now, I have no friends. Does anybody want to hang out?“ I swear this dude is so humble.

[@Wulfen109]

This one and Paul Rudd's interview are my top 2 favorites

[@sheefree]

I think my favorite too! I feel like he doubled down on the love/positivity when things got hot. This was a spiritual one for me 💕💐😊

[@HokiePitcher22]

i enjoyed seeing this side of Jake Gyllenhaal. dude is funny af. super enjoyable

[@faisalyousufosman3752]

Loved the bed scene in The Covenant where he was crying about not being able to do anything to save Ahmed. The lines were simple but super accurate. People don't have one liners ready irl when they are in anguish.

[@RuzzNP]

I absolutely love how we get to hear the team laugh and how they're not encouraged to keep quiet. It feels so genuine.

[@FatTibbySuccubus]

The way Jake talks about his work and the fleshing out of a character or movie/play sounds so intelligent. You can tell he's completely devoted to his work and intellectually made for it. Never heard an actor speak like him, he's fantastic.

[@WarMonkeyPlays]

True, but he also sounded pretty relatable when talking about it, not pretentious.

[@FatTibbySuccubus]

@@WarMonkeyPlays exactly, very down to earth

[@ladyrough96]

Agree, I feel like Andrew Garfield is as genuine as him tho but can’t think of any other

[@petejmartin]

That was the best one ever. Hope you two are still friends

[@VlogsJake]

Man I think this is my favorite episode ever, Jake was on a next level with his jokes and comedic style

[@madBoomr]

havent you heard the TRUTH about entertainers/jesters jokes?

[@matrix_3671]

Guys, I post very interesting videos. Anyone can watch them.

[@moosedawg71]

Exactly!

[@fixlana]

The thing I love about this show is the writers really come up with great questions. You can tell the guests feel refreshed answering them. Actors do a lot of press and they get a lot of the same boring questions.

[@AwsumCherry]

I might be wrong but never hearing Sean ask a female actor how they work with kids or what kind of outfits they’ve worn has always been one of my favorite parts on top of the deep questions allowing all guests to talk about things they’re passionate about. Sean allowing them to talk and things not being chopped up.

[@Super-Solveig]

Always 👏🏻 Thats why I love this show for many years! Finally the guest is also wievers and fans of the show ☺️👏🏻

[@tazzmachazz1355]

This has to be one of my favorite episodes. He's friggin' hilarious!!

[@philipproach6905]

I have to say i have watched every episode since the beginning and this has to be top 5 best on my list. great interactions and conversations make a great interview.

[@paulchilds1893]

I always love the episodes where Sean gives the guest an opportunity to plug something and they're just like "I've not got anything going on, I'm just here for the experience."

[@kaygates4224]

I think one of the things that gives these two such good chemistry is how observant they both are with each other, also the curiosity and intelligence of both of them. The wizard hands thing really cracked me up. 😂❤

[@rayvonoddboy6484]

Wizards Hards I'm still laughing so hilariously accurate description of Sean lol

[@Beinthesky]

I’ve never paid much attention to him beyond southpaw. But seeing him out of character shows how great of an actor he is.

[@Reallyyup123]

Man as a man I gotta admit jakes one of the most charming dudes I’ve ever seen 😂😂

[@NBshana]

It’s tough to enjoy the guests on a regular late night talk show after seeing them on Hot Ones. This will always be one of their best interviews by comparison.

[@meghanmurphy5167]

The fact that so many of them genuinely enjoy his interviews so much more than the talkshows says so much too, he's a truly incredibly talented interviewer, he will go down in history

[@meteor22]

Think because it's genuine. Plus when your mouth is on fire 🔥 the charade drops and it makes the guests show their true selves and its great.

[@Selunei]

This show has a lot of the same energy as Craig Ferguson's Late Late Show.

[@EthanRom]

That's cause Sean asks meaningful questions. Talkshow hosts all ask the same cookie cutter thing

[@robinolsson7003]

It's such a unique, strange and weirdly perfect concept. Like how are you going to not be genuine while your tongue is fighting for its life? And the questions are the icing on the cake.

[@belials_flame]

This has to be the most genuine show out there, amazing atmosphere, crew allowed to laugh, no one seems forced to do anything, everyone is genuinly enjoying this, thank you for 20 seasons of this Sean and Crew !

[@mikelombard21]

Well put.

[@burtbun3689]

Maybe the best episode of Hot Ones EVER.

[@jessica0321]

Jake's impression of Bear (sp?) killed me - had to watch it twice. Such an awesome episode. It's gotta be the best one yet.

[@reginadevora1515]

Jake is so genuine man. Love this show.

[@ninadoak]

This episode has to be in the one of the all time hits of this show. Jake is so tuned in and so smart, he's holding Sean and the episode by the neck and taking on a ride with him. And Sean is steering the show right back on track, it's just a great duel.

[@TheLonerStoner]

Yes exactly

[@lusikxi9296]

nicely put

[@ele9875]

Usually guests are following Sean but this time it was push and pull . Jake kept Sean on his toes and that was one of the most entertaining episodes EVER

[@mr.mcmagpie6606]

This guy genuinely loves his craft and it shows not just through his movies but his actual personality.

[@BigDaddyB369]

Jake is one of the coolest people ever. This was probably my favorite episodes of the dozens ive seen by far

[@sethdavid8023]

It was truly heart-warming watching these 2 become friends over hot wings haha

[@Davion23showout]

Sean honestly deserves a Oscar. One of the best interviewers

[@LaidBackApophis]

That’s not how that works but I get what you mean! 😅

[@ChonkyMonkey1]

Maybe an Emmy

[@123haninhk]

He was nominated for Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Entertainment Talk Show Host in 2021.

[@somanytakennames]

The chef should get an Oscar for making the wings!

[@Skinnypuff]

His hand work isn't bad either. Waving all the time looks so good. :D
