Hannah is absolutely fantastic, not many actors could make me hate a character and then in short order not only get me to love her, but cry over her character arc. Ted Lasso is simply a step above most all other shows

[@cocomontresebeast2210]

Omg, have u watched Benidorm, she is hilarious in that show!!!

[@spateri728]

She's gorgeous too

[@JBond-zf4dj]

I feel the same way about Nate now. We went from loving him to hating him, back to loving him again. Poor little fella.

[@akee0623]

Here's the thing. This woman is BRILLIANT. She has a quick wit, ten-cent words for days, and an infectious joie de vivre. Hannah Waddingham FTW!

[@michaelscot4816]

¡Bien dicho!

[@fixing.education]

And she can sing!!😮

[@elisahinojosa2330]

She radiates kindness and warmness. I LOVE HER SO MUCH!

[@marctyrell9764]

There is just something about this woman. She draws you in. She is gorgeous, funny and talented. I hope she gets more and more attention over the years cuz she deserves it all plus she has paid her dues

[@devinstewart6945]

She IS the woman....she's all yess!!

[@lkleeberg]

I love her ! She is really delightful with her effervescent personality, funny, gorgeous , super talented. Ted lasso is genius. I love that she’s not a size 2 in her 20s but in her forties and a fit statuesque queen. Please more seasons .

[@eduardoarmenta9232]

She's an explosion of joy. I love her

[@luciamiller1555]

The world needs more Ted Lasso,best series during this pandemic. Had serious withdrawals after season 2. Can’t wait for season 3. Hope it doesn’t end there!

[@shaju9229]

I love the way she talks to the audience...theatre pro there. Gorgeous woman, I'm obsessed...

[@CBAKER637]

Hannah is such a breath of fresh air. Love her!

[@michellemosqueda7853]

Even when not playing Rebecca, that woman is truly an ice cream sundae. With several cherries on top! She’s the whole package. And makes me very excited for my 40s!!

[@pamelarw58]

Hannah is simply gorgeous in every way, beautiful & a genuine person! Definitely an accomplished actor from the 1st scene in Ted Lasso her character draws you in! 💜

[@mariellas7369]

Can Rupaul please have a talkshow already? Celebs are so charmed and comfortable with him

[@linderama6591]

Hannah Waddingham… you are one if the most authentic, beautiful souls in the entertainment biz. Thank you for being you. Appreciate you and your bright spirit so much! 💖

[@spnjunkie23]

What I love so much about her is that she always looks around and includes the audience. And that she’s super talented and gorgeous doesn’t hurt either 😁 Love her and can’t wait for the final season of Ted Lasso. I know I’m gonna cry buckets of tears.

[@catalhuyuk7]

Ru Paul certainly knows how to interview and bring the best out in people. Hannah is a strong leader and amazing in so many ways!

[@sweeney60]

Hannah and Rue are a perfect team! Have them host the Emmys!

[@joshoshea3194]

I'm English and I can honestly say that Ted Lasso definitely rubbed off on me. I genuinely can't wait for season 3 ❤🇬🇧⚽️

[@sratus]

I hope he at least took you for dinner.

[@baron5688]

So THAT'S where his nickname comes from

[@benavidesruiz]

How refreshing is an artist like her. She is not a ‘freezing’ celebrity with nothing but just good press. She is a great artist with a great career, real talent and brilliant. And she is soooooo funny!

[@sueb1337]

My jaw drops every time I see her.. just gorgeously 🔥

[@blackironkatana]

Hannah is plainly just awesome. But also I would love to see RuPaul have his own late night talk show.

[@Ernie1978]

Hannah and Juno's friendship is ace! Rick Astley is a bloody legend!!!

[@NinaC]

One of my favorite people ever! Love her so much glad she is having the success!

[@KimsLantern]

The moment she said ‘I try! had me in absolute love with her.

[@LisaLGruman]

She was such a refreshing interview.

[@futrpdr]

I can never get enough of some Hannah Waddingham! She's super talented, sexy, curvy, beautiful, and seems like a fun person to hang out with.

[@mariammeliksetian7916]

"You're a lotta woman" is by far the best compliment.

[@AlerieHightower]

That laugh at 7:08 gave me life. She is so perfect.

[@TheLettybird]

She is perfection.

[@Eyagsf]

Hannah’s radiant smile is so contagious

[@joelarama]

Her joy. I absolutely adore Hannah. A phenomenal talent. ❤️

[@poutmaster]

She is STUNNING!

[@taylorglynn955]

Omg I’m obsessed with her even more now ! Her personality is great and she’s so pretty !!! 🔥🔥🔥 yasssss

[@thelawofdivineoneness458]

If you watch Ted Lasso.....you will absolutely fall in love with Hannah Waddingham. She steals every scene she is in. What a tall drink of water she is!

[@DrDespicable]

I *love* Hannah Waddingham - brilliantly talented, and utterly gorgeous!

[@sandybear61]

Hannah is a goddess! What an awesome and fun interview -- love these two together!

[@grubster13]

This woman is perfection I think

[@steverz91]

I'm glad they found a way to work her singing into Ted Lasso

[@NinaC]

This is a classic example of two charismatic people. Wow

[@PAVEL-JAKL]

Hannah is a gorgeous woman..😍🥰

[@morganangel340]

look like younger sister of Gwen Stefani

[@daphnepassisi-kokot6263]

How enchanting can one person really be???? She is extraordinary.😮

[@michaelcbyers]

Man. RuPaul needs to have their own talk show or interview show. They're great at it.

[@rugby3431]

HE DID HAVE HIS OWN TALK SHOW, FUN SECRET.

[@michaelcbyers]

@@rugby3431 Oh really. Well he should have another. I guess he's busy enough with Drag Race.

[@juliafay7661]

I cannot love this woman more.

[@CamMcGinn1981]

15 minutes of these two amazing humans talking to each other is nowhere near enough. The fun they're having just oozes. I seriously hope that Season 3 isn't the end for Ted Lasso. I'm totally living for Colin's storyline

[@malcomalexander6927]

I love her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stunning and such a powerful actress!!!

[@Belfastboi]

So relaxed and enjoying her success it’s lovely to see

[@rikiroos3100]

What a delightful interview!

[@mindy56374]

Two of my faves together!! (Glad Kimmel was away for this!) Can't wait to see Hannah on Drag Race UK!!

[@mroosie7488]

She has a very endearing personality

[@justaj2k]

I love Hannah so much. Brilliant actor and singer…. Like her I hope TL goes on for several more seasons!

[@tanyam5471]

Hannah is a beautiful woman. So bright and talanted. BTW Antony Head is well known all over the world as Giles from Buffy.

[@davidbuchan3753]

Brilliant energy from both!

[@isaberabera_]

I need more of these two together

[@lisas5211]

I love this woman!!!! She cracked me up so much in Ted Lasso. Gorgeous talented.

[@Keith-cl3th]

Man she’s fabulous. 😍

[@EricaGamet]

Anthony Head is well known here in the US for Buffy... I don't even watch Buffy and I know that. I just see the headmaster from his episode of Doctor Who! He's awesome... and Hannah is amazing and I want to just hang out with her for a day... though my face would hurt from smiling all day!

[@susanstorm7910]

Hannah as Emma Frost would be my dream fancast! She’s my favorite and is deserving of that love

[@suereu3109]

I got to see her in Spamalot on Broadway. Fabulous!

[@jake27990]

Rumor has it she’s been cast as Jennifer Kale in the MCU and will star alongside Catherine O’Hara, Amy Poehler, and Kathryn Hahn in Coven of Chaos. What a line-up.

[@dcny69]

RuPaul has one of the best personalities ever, he’s fun, very smart and just lovely. He’s a perfect example of being exactly as you are. So parents, let your children be as they are. Maybe not what you want them to be but as they are. Your authenticity is a gift.

[@kpire6066]

Love that. Hold on to your spoon. Good things are coming! 😂❤

[@hasanzahid6131]

God, she is so Beautiful!!!! Like a Greek Goddess

[@michaeltn1412]

[@GrantGelinasBrown]

One word can describe Hannah.....effervescent.

[@brucecoleman4228]

Can we get Hannah and Olivia Coleman into something together SOON? K Thanks!

[@Belfastboi]

Good call same teeth they could play sisters!!

[@diazjr1975]

OMG YES!

[@magedabuldahab7481]

It will be a tragedy of Macbeth, Coleman will be the lady Macbeth & Waddingham will be the witches with Francis Macdormand & Vera Formiga, Macbeth will be Wellem Dafoe

[@darrellfisher6307]

She is so Lovable!

[@sharonfieldstone]

She's so gorgeous ugh

[@LisaLGruman]

That Rick Astley appearance was really special.

[@kpire6066]

Lovely interview. ❤

[@fajarsetiawan8665]

"You're a lot of woman" That is such a compliment. I shoulda use that more now

[@dixiech1ck]

Hannah is a whole snack! She's this century's Marilyn Monroe.

[@jaydee3216]

That is a huge statement but my god... it's SO true. She is definitely this generations MM. Utterly perfect isn't she?

[@maddiloven5483]

[@NewMessage]

When I hear the word 'Dominatrix', I see her in my head. She just looks perfect for it.

[@morganangel340]

Shame ! Shame ! Shame !

[@hanpiller]

I love her reasoning for swearing “I’m English” 😂😂😂😂😂

[@classicalaid1]

Hannah reminds me of Honor Blackman, if they ever reprise the James Bond film Goldfinger. She played Sean Connery's squeeze, Pussy Galore.

[@ec9121]

She deserves everything!!! 👏

[@Yourfriendgaya]

I need an album from her

[@nicolasa.q3301]

Oh lord that woman….perfection
