[@ericisprobablyfullofshit7797]

I love how she keeps her unflappable on-air persona throughout. It's hilarious!

[@intjonmiller]

I'm a big fan of both Mike and Terry. I'm so glad I found this, and that it exists. I wish I knew more people who would fully appreciate it.

[@ale000928]

I just discover this footage. I love Fresh Air and Iisten to it all the time. I had no idea Terry Gross could be so cool in front of the camera. Well done Terry Gross!

[@Brianww777]

I love this short film! The plot, the characters, everything...it's brilliant!!!

[@schmoyoho]

this is what happens after every NPR interview, right?

[@stevers62]

LOVE Terry Gross!! She is a GREAT interviewer and such an intelligent, thoughtful person. To see that she has a great sense of humor to do this is great!!

[@fippper]

Listening to Terry will never be the same again ... That was awesome!

[@josiahmorris]

I've listened to Terry Gross nearly everyday and wondered what I would ask her about her life if I ever had the chance. Then Mike Birbiglia went ahead and did it. I WAS so glad to see this last night at the THIS AMERICAN LIFE event. So many laughs. Such a wonderful sense of humour she has.

[@thecandidframe]

I love Terry and this makes me love her even more. Couldn't get any more awesome.

[@bjgrow]

Excuse me, I'm sorry to bother you, but I have to tell you I love your short film.

[@sugarhigh10]

my pacifist dad just walked by and said "that looks really violent, should you be watching that?", then I said, "but dad, it's NPR's Terry Gross" and then he just nodded and walked away

[@bfkennedy]

I love Terry and Mike. This was a lot of fun!

[@vid00vid]

This is simply priceless ! Terry is amazing ... Have listened to her for almost 15 years now, and she is awesome.

[@judyhines7403]

I subscribe to Fresh Air and know Terry Gross is one of the most talented interviewers in the world, yes, the world, This piece with Mike Birbirlia is a riot! Truly clever!

[@AlexEdstrom]

I wasn't quite sure what to expect going into the TAL-Live show. I came out feeling like it couldn't have been a better representation of the show in full form. It puts you through the full gauntlet of emotions and makes you wish, for two minutes, you could write and/or tell a story that well. It's great to see art thriving in the world of today!

[@MsAmber10100]

Hilarious!! I guess they really do need money in public radio.

[@praketingrichraft6181]

Beats the heck out of a pledge break!

[@nowone21]

Way too funny. I've been a fan for years What do I love most - Terry's laugh. Thanks.

[@iamkamauDET]

Wow! To see Terry Gross as a bank robber?!?!!! CLASSIC!!

[@NewarkGuy]

LOL this is hilarious....I love Terry Gross....

[@peterbennylawl]

Classic. So great on all fronts.

[@rallynut78]

I love you Terri!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@AdamLauver]

This was the best part of the evening. So funny.

[@sgtpepper211]

so mike birbiglia, thank you so much for making this awesome vid

[@samuelwalworth1121]

Wow, its really great to see Terry taking the interview, after hearing her every night at 9 pm on Radio or on podcast for years.. its finally putting a face on the voice. Terry you are awesome.. Mike is Brilliant!!!!

[@milkchapman23]

thanks to both terry gross and mike birbiglia. this video is terrific.

[@calibrante]

Thank you so much for joinning in this short film...

[@fontgoddess]

Mike Birbiglia just made some high-quality Fresh Air fanfic there.

[@EtceteraWorkshop]

This is... so...awesome.

[@Lisastar121]

Joined a group at Oaks PA, outside of Philadelphia, last night at the TAL screening. The event was a remarkable mix up of fun and frivolity. In that,Terry was the break out star!

[@lisasimpson]

Thank you!!

[@AEFagan1]

This is AWESOME!

[@vanderloo1978]

I love this!

[@p4ttyj]

I've been a big fan of Terry Gross for way over a decade. She is my favorite interviewer but I didn't know she could act! I loved this funny short film. Great job and bravo!

[@Bryankd]

Loved, loved, loved it! Fresh Air, and Terry Gross are fantastic. This American Life had a anniversary (10 years?) where Terry recorded a snippet congratulating Ira as the new-comer, while you could hear the ice in her drink clink around as she called him "kid". It was hilarious. I wish she would go back to the "This is Fresh Air...but first the news", intro. Yes, it's been satirized, but that doesn't mean it wasn't great.

[@HypnosisforHealing]

Brilliant!

[@Jellybomb.]

that was fantabulous xx

[@BarbecueTricks]

Never heard Fresh air... but loved this video. the husband is classic.

[@CocoOPNY]

This. Is. Awesome!!!!!!

[@jlb4]

BRAVO!

[@AnneMSantiago]

Love it!

[@sarahkate84]

Best. Part.

[@jm5150]

i never knew this brilliant piece of work existed until today. where the hell have i been!!

[@maxwellbrand]

That was amazing!! I pass Terry on Market Street in Philly every once in a while. Always makes my day. And it's always a Sunday. :)

[@neokimchi]

so great it was shot on film!

[@rcjxn]

Terry's a natural!

[@squanto2]

That is some inspired madness. Great stuff!!!

[@gjoseph985]

Like Alejandro said so well....I love and respect Terry and now I like her even more....too funny!

[@patriciantish]

Best, funniest vid I've seen in a long time. Fresh Air!

[@007lock]

Just watched it recently. Great movie worth a watch.

[@spinky1976]

I love this sooo much!

[@quicktime55]

Hardest I've laughed in a long, long time... Bravo, Mike... Brava, Terry!

[@TroyOi]

Ditto. I've had that fantasy for 25 years.

[@officialmaxrandom]

THE best experience to be in the theater for your show. Thank you for This American LIfe! Max Random

[@MangoDaSkunk]

Very funny! Loved it.

[@JoeyClimax]

WHYY! Yeah! Great live show, last night.

[@horusfanatic]

Lol ... This is awesomely funny! I love it.

[@tomitstube]

that was really good, loved the twists and turns.

[@danielthere]

This is so funny... Terry Gross is a great actress of herself

[@BHAKTIBROPHY]

Hahaha!!! Perfect!! 🤣 Thank you.

[@aarfeld]

Terry, your life is so much more exciting than I envisioned. ;-)

[@jayvbspdx]

Hahahahaahahahahaa. I loved the Act III twist.

[@GeorgeTengTV]

AWWW YEEEH

[@unitof]

2Fresh2Aire

[@jiblazed]

thats just pure weapons grade awesomeness

[@calcium888]

awesome

[@Galadhwen]

this is seriously so awesome. :D

[@Azucena34]

I am so in love with Terry Gross! I dream of this woman :)

[@mutualpea]

Wonderful take-off on "What About Bob" ! Terry Gross is, of course, the LAST person you'd expect to be involved in crime. Really fun.

[@goofenhour]

I WANT this movie to be shown in Springfield, MO!

[@oneirishpoet]

funny I just was thinking the same thing, after 20+ years of listening to her this is the first time I even saw what she looks like!

[@dstutz]

Terry Gross is a surprisingly good actress

[@Redoubt9000]

Hah, that was great thx for this!

[@ShannonOBrien417]

Haha! Who knew Terry Gross was so funny?!

[@jonrendell]

Sublime

[@ShaneKennedy1969]

is an awful band

[@TestPilot97]

This is hilarious

[@mkupgrl1]

OMG that is the funniest thing! Glad to see Terry break out her radio voice!

[@jonathanLelmore]

Terry is the best!

[@eka707]

Loved this video but perhaps even more so, I loved actually finding the comments thoughtful and interesting! A first on KZbin!

[@FenderJazzStudent]

at 2:45, the look on Terri Gross' husband's face is awesome...

[@Alwaysbusking]

all right..great video... thank you... what are you up to after this?

[@gauntlander]

Ha, This is great. I'm so used to Terry's voice that it's actually hard and weird to see that there's actually a face that goes with it :D

[@kondidunstan317]

Booom!!! I like that.

[@TroyOi]

It's ALWAYS the last one you'd expect!

[@AdamDane]

I'm glad I'm not the only person that wondered what a date with Terry was like.

[@cmmani1]

wow...

[@mal4m]

Terry's a good interviewer!

[@squatter24]

Hilarious!

[@evilangl]

sweet

[@soozad]

Love Mike...love Terry...they should hook up more often...

[@dwayneholden]

Terry Gross: I have to believe this would make Uta Hagen possibly laugh out loud and perhaps pee a little. LOVED it! Thank you Mike Birbiglia. BRILLIANT.

[@Grisostomo06]

Wow! She does!! Maybe that's why I like listening to her so much. Maybe that's why so many more of her fans are men than women.

[@rhonyvette]

So awesome! I want to thank Mike and Terry for this awesome video...

[@Maideleh]

And Mike, great film, what are you doing after this? Ha ha. Oh wait, you're launching another film. Suddenly, it comes full circle.

[@HERALDHERALD]

"I bet a lot of readers can really relate to that" LOL

[@Kazekoge101]

this was great, makes me want to listen to fresh air again, all I've listened to was the Louis CK interview

[@kdkauf]

Absolutely incredible. Was that Dan Castellaneta playing Terry's husband?

[@flavyn1]

so fun! How did you get Terry to agree to "act?" I would have liked to have seen that too.

[@TroyOi]

Terry held her own with Simmons quite well. And she wasn't the least bit afraid to go ahead and let the show air, when she could easily have thrown the tape in the dumpster.

[@kkehoe5]

I listen to her every day on the ride home, it's weird to put a face to the voice. Not what I was expecting. Still love her interviews.

[@AuntGert5]

Was the bank lobby in the old Fidelity Bank on Broad Street, which was also featured in Trading Places?
