Kristen Bell, Betty White and more Comedy Actresses on THR's Roundtable | Emmys 2013

[@beneyboo3800]

Betty White is the greatest celebrity to ever live. We use the term celebrity too loosely these days...but Betty White TRULY is a celebrity. Funny, smart, charming and such a generous actress who isn't afraid to put it all out there.

[@AnneLiesveld]

I think anyone who lives as a working actor is a celebrity. I think people who are famous for bad stuff arent' worthy of that title. Ya know? Celebrities 25 years ago got shunned for what gets fame now.

[@aidaaman1742]

yeah, she is exactly the kind of person we should be CELEBRATING😜

[@haendel8a]

true legend!!

[@biteme263]

She is just a fantastic human period. Doesn't matter what career path she would have chose.

[@liina000]

Betty White is still so sharp.

[@PlaceForAnEcho]

gerith she’ll cut you 😏

[@omigoditstay]

Kristen Bell is actually my favourite person ever.

[@KariAaraas100]

I agree. Her and Betty White.

[@DustinHawke]

You don't even know her.

[@BikinFilmYok]

"You're trying to get rid of me, but you can't!" I LOL'd so hard at that one. My God, Betty is amazing. She should live forever.

[@plur2179]

Rest now thank you Betty for almost 100yrs of joy

[@LeeMubai33]

Who's the set designer here? An empty room with a hard floor and a marble table? Surely they had to know there'd be an echo throughout the whole interview. They could have at least put down a rug to absorb some of the sound. I know I sound ridiculous but it kills me that people get paid so much money to make these rookie mistakes.

[@ExclusiveLM]

The echo in this room was due to the fact that they all sat inside of a prehistoric dinosaurs vagina.

[@NotJamesWhelan]

jagboy9899 In fairness this is the hollywood reporter, not tv so I doubt they even paid a set designer. They probably just went with what they could get. You are right though.

[@EleonorafromCassero]

The layout is so weird, too, with the interviewers 10+ ft away from the interviewees and a bunch of tech people in the background. Not really conducive to conversation.

[@badluckcity]

i was just about to comment on how brutal the sound is for this interview. almost unwatchable.

[@palmertreese1363]

jagboy9899 yep I was thinking the same

[@MLSoll]

Glad they included Kaitlin Olson because I feel like It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is hands down one of the funniest shows out there, been on for 12 seasons and still going strong, but it's not paid enough attention. I love it so much. And anyone who watches It's always Sunny know how great Sweet Dee is :) And the rest of the gang

[@johnfreeman1297]

She's probably been the most underrated comedian (male or female) for the better part of ten years. Even from Sunny fans, Charlie and Glenn seem to get the most love. Glad, she's starting to get a little more popular lately.

[@australiam72430]

This comment has aged like fine wine. If you haven't seen it, watch The Always Sunny Podcast 🤤😁 best podcast ever

[@obscurity3027]

I just watched some clips from the pilot episode of Sunny, but it was with a different actress. The video did a shot-for-shot comparison of the other actress against Kaitlin's performance, and it's plain as day how much better Kaitlin was. She really carries that entire show. I love Charlie, Rob, and Glenn, but Kaitlin takes it to a whole other level of hilarity.

[@xenay.4187]

Betty white looks amazing, I mean she is over 90! What an inspiration...

[@jordanwashington6777]

When Zosia said, "You just got to let it go." *Kristen Bell clenches to not sing Let It Go*

[@owenopoliss]

For me, and I'm a huge Jessica Walter fan anyway, she doesn't come across as arrogant, but more that she's incredibly passionate about her work and takes it very seriously. She seems like someone who'd just love to talk about her processes and work all day because it's what she loves the most. Admittedly I think she does come across quite strong here, but I guess that's just her personality

[@_vixis]

And I love her for it

[@greeneyedgirl313]

Betty wasn't saying anything bad about Mayim when she was talking about the complaining. If anything she was complementing her. Betty is glad that Mayim comes to work everyday striving to be better because it shows that she is really grateful for her job and takes it seriously.

[@dharmawannab]

Man......I sure miss Betty White and Jessica Walter. Great loss when they passed away.

[@violetjones160]

I don't want this to come across as backhanded, but I honestly didn't even realize that Blossom wasn't "hot" when that show was on TV. Like... I don't want to come across as judging her looks, it's just to say that on TV during that time it didn't even seem like the attractiveness or "conventional look" of a female lead was a talking point. Nobody cared to talk about anything other than the quality of the show.

[@zerofox641]

Mayim, Kristen and Betty are everything!

[@brittanyDParker85]

everything Betty White says is so inspirational and honest and helpful. Jessica Waters is also a Goddess who is really real and speaks from such obvious experience...i love it. Zosia should count herself lucky that she somehow made it on to this panel

[@biteme263]

There is always that one person on these panels that shouldn't quite be there. I don't know why they do it. I don't even know who she is. I know who her dad is but I don't have a clue who she is or the show she is on. And unlike her I watch a shitload of tv lol. She seems pretty smart though so I will giver her that.

[@shoorveersingh]

That's a very weird room to have a recorded conversation in. Everything echoes, and pretty bleak set up. SAD!

[@cecillbill]

Betty White stay killing the game. She is unbelievably wonderful.

[@jgoel3266]

The eventual/current format is SO much better.

[@itsrileylyn]

Betty White's gratitude helps me sleep at night.

[@healthAsylum]

I only hear Malory Archer. Her voice is Iconic!

[@biteme263]

Ya I love her on that show. That character is the best.

[@judyvalencia3257]

Love the color of Betty White's eyes! I've seen her interviewed before, but, I guess it's the lighting, the color never showed up the way it did in this interview. Also love Mayim!

[@dirrtyrulez]

I LOVE MAYIM! What a wonderful human being.

[@shawnperez6880]

I was just thinking this at around 24 minutes.

[@candyhall1158]

l. love. chris

[@australiam72430]

Here because of The Always Sunny Podcast 👍👍👍😁😁😁

[@Alice-me2qk]

The Femail Bag?

[@obscurity3027]

Femail Bag episode was amazing. I love irl Kaitlin.

[@australiam72430]

@@Alice-me2qk yeah Femail bag episode 😅

[@RichTake]

I love how all the younger girls looked every time Jessica Walter had something "funny" to say. They all made tentative smiles lol

[@walterwhite003]

I know right. I'm truly impressed. What a great interviewer. She does her research as well.

[@smartechick725]

I LOVE that Betty used the "old fashioned way" of mimicking the way to turn on a TV. #ICON #RIPBETTY

[@bhubhul]

Mayim is really funny, I love her SO much, seriously and I hope she wins an Emmy!!!

[@shabytin]

2018 and still waiting for Mayim Bialik’s Emmy.

[@caramelprisoner4993]

tbqh the makeup crew really killed it on this segment. everyone looks like they just stepped off their own show a moment ago.

[@liluhaas]

Mayim is so real

[@jamyong28]

i love her, shes so gorgeous and conservative yet sexy

[@AngelusHale]

Honestly, I'm only watching for Kristen Bell. I love that girl. LOVE HER :)

[@DaveEfinSan]

Dare - wait for it - Devil okay ....

[@dubiouswretch]

This comedy roundtable has a lot less laughs compared to previous years. Between the seriousness and the echo of the big room, it almost feels tense.

[@11muzik99]

Having gone through more recent episodes, it's great to see that the producers evolved the series into an actual round-table, with a more intimate setting.

[@ashleyroberson938]

The world needs more Betty's.

[@ConstanceSorrow]

Jessica Walter is a riot in this! I love her!

[@plur2179]

Love in anything rip

[@salvation7362]

Betty White is so awesome.

[@21derma17]

I actually nearly pissed myself when Mayim's voice went haha

[@joshf.4270]

The best moment of this entire thing is 39:43. Let the diva speak!

[@randomjean]

I really really enjoyed watching Betty White in this interview. She has such a great personality and attitude. Its so inspiring!

[@AndreaOwns89]

Mayim is amazing. And Betty White is the cutest ever.

[@Lc2good4u]

I adore Betty White!!!! she's amazing :)

[@joshiii]

These ladies are my idols. Fuck. So brilliant in their own unique ways.Just perfect.

[@lilyev96]

kaitlin olson is so amazing and funny!

[@telliwood]

Zosia is right. Watching a show is a commitment.

[@HovaNirvana]

Betty White literally outlived Jessica Walter. Nuts. R.I.P. Ms. Walter. Great round table.

[@Koribaby1]

May Betty White live forever.

[@craziedramagirl]

MAYIM. I LOVE YOU GIRL. AND BETTY WHITE YOU CUTIE

[@Kardinaal29]

Zosia Mamet is incredibly gorgeous! Not to mention she seems like really cool/down to earth person.

[@RichTake]

Yea she seems cool AF

[@tomitstube]

interesting argument or conversation about "not complaining" on the job, i like mayim's attitude about not being a slave to the industry or working conditions, and i like kaitlin's attitude to make the best out of every situation. this idea that people aren't allowed to complain is nonsense.

[@welcometoamerica690]

Betty whites one liners is everything.

[@EvilPrawns]

Mayam is really really pretty. Not that her looks has anything to do with her comedy skills (which are incredible, by the way - funniest actor on Big Bang Theory), but it needed to be said, and people say it far too seldom.

[@katrinajohnston5957]

Mayim is so cute

[@melissadomagala5576]

Jessica Walter just makes me think of Archer. I love it!

[@MadiDawg96]

Love Mayim! She's my role model!

[@saultonofswi]

"It beats working." (34:42) That's the last line of State & Main. Mamet quoting Mamet, that's great.

[@valhalla1240]

didn't know much about Zosia Mamet but she seems really smart and put together for her age!

[@JustinFriesen]

Betty is an inspiration.

[@cheesecake134]

I hate the Big Bang Theory, but I'm glad they included Mayim instead of fucking Kaley Cuoco. Mayim is at least interesting and has worthwhile things to say.

[@sibais]

MintBoy One She has a KZbin channel and has pretty liberal views.

[@peace1652]

It's a matter of what is interesting to you, it has nothing to do with the actors. Please, be-careful not to compare apples and bananas, they are both very good and tasty fruit to those like them, it immature of you to dislike and actress for a role they play. Big Bang is a very good show for those who value quality and complex work.

[@JohannesWiberg]

I actually think that Kaley Cuoco could do great things if she wasn't stuck in that role. Mayim's role in TBBT was initially hilarious but later turned into just another enabler woman character. Mayim would be an awesome person if she wasn't idiotic enough not to vaccinate her kids. All her credibility - especially as a science literate person - went down the drain when she admitted that.

[@clubdonk9651]

She alsp has more credibility having starred in TVs Blossom

[@jamyong28]

Mayim Bialik is so elegant and gorgeous

[@skyey2000]

Compared to this year, this roundtable was much better. I really think it makes a difference when comedy actresses have experienced comedic backgrounds on different shows and they have insight into the comedy business and aren't afraid to be critical but still thankful. These are veteran actresses who don't care about networks or saying controversial things and they openly talk about idolizing other comedic actresses and shows like its not a bad thing

[@ExclusiveLM]

I would love to watch Betty White twerking.

[@Sinatra123]

Sad when Jessica Walter praises Betty and says “I hope to be …” referring to working as long as Betty :( Miss Jessica Walter!

[@hipnhappenin]

So distracted by the echos....

[@CatzCraze]

Reading the comments, so sad that nobody is talking about what they actually said

[@matteaclaire5499]

I’m so glad they sit around a table now

[@josephadiaz8343]

I loved this "round table", Betty White will always be one of the best 👍❤️🙏✝️✌️😎

[@icantbetamedx12]

I don't understand why Betty began picking on Mayim for complaining. She wasn't complaining about what she does she was complaining about the failure the comes with what she does. The fact that she admits to having a vice instead of pretending to be this infallible comedian is admirable. I love Betty as much as the next guy, but I don't agree with her thinking Mayim was complaining

[@ExclusiveLM]

at 49:24 Betty kicked David Letterman on the nuts. Good for her !!

[@Cheesyenchilady]

+Elizabeth I don't think she was talking about Mayim! That's not how I took it, anyway.

[@AdamC2013]

SproutAndTheBeann I think she might have been because it doesn't concern anything else mentioned prior :s and when mayim jokes that she better leave according to Betty, Betty throws a look

[@popland1977]

They were asked what bugs them and Betty had a different perspective which is to not complain and be thankful. She's mentioned this multiple times in other interviews

[@QiQuQi]

Jessica and Betty ♥️♥️♥️

[@cn96]

the audio is crappy

[@rubyanjel]

There is SUCH a category called supporting comedy actresses. I think you are looking for the LEADS.

[@stereotypicalravenclaw4964]

Jessica Walters is so genius.

[@houseofcharm4751]

Wow Betty, a family that cracks one another up...I would love that!

[@CosmicKindness]

Such great conversation I learned so much from this round table thank you all love ladies!!

[@widetubevision4423]

Who is Zosia Mamet and Kaitlin Olson? I don't watch sitcoms anymore. Betty White does not need to audition. She is Hollywood royalty.

[@ronton1992]

Kaitlin Olson is on "Always Sunny in Philadelphia". Excellent show.

[@xenay.4187]

Zosia Mamet was Shossana in Girls.

[@henrym7990]

There’s a website called google.com where you can type in names and find actors’ roles instead of looking dumb by asking in the comment section on KZbin. I think their shows are also mentioned in the video. But both of them were on shows that lasted for awhile; Zosia did Girls for six years, and Kaitlin has been on It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia for twelve years.

[@palmertreese1363]

Polly Pandora 😂😂😂 it's a search engine lol

[@palmertreese1363]

Kaitlin Olson "the mick" she's hilarious

[@kenyaayala7687]

omg mayim is hilarious.

[@palomavega6494]

Lord, I just love Betty White.

[@shannoncrawford5812]

Mayim is so beautiful.

[@Jonasftw]

Holy shmack. When Betty the Queen White said that basically to Mayik... even I got scared.

[@alexxolo]

I love Betty White so much... she has no idea what Hot In Cleveland has done for more since it was around my difficult high school life

[@Meeckle]

I know it will have been said already, but Betty White is such a legend.

[@juliohernandez5230]

46:25 why Mayim do that gesture? lol, love her

[@RustyDustyCrusty]

betty white is awesome

[@natsmith7866]

At 50:16 it’s so strange hearing Jessica Walters talk about Netflix when it was quite new and TV being the main source of entertainment. How it’s flipped and Netflix etc is at the forefront and TV forgotten shows how much has changed since then

[@jarvon8or]

I love these roundtable discussions. Keep em coming!

[@ackeemsmith4637]

Betty white is a boss gonna miss her

[@GeorgieGirlxoxo1]

Kristen Bell said "my husband Dax.." does that mean they finally got married??? I hope so :) Love them together

[@CJ42090]

Betty White on The Shield: "What a fun show!" Haha!

[@walterwhite003]

"I'm gonna watch netflix while i eat nutflicks' lmfao lmfao betty white is the funniest person ever

[@AlbuquerqueCarreiras]

Kaitlin Olson is the best!

[@Byay844]

exactly, i don't think any of them except mayim bialik was nominated

[@lilysolisrobles]

I don't know if someone tells them where to sit, but honestly, I would be sitting so close to (probably hugging) Betty White

[@uliajaysiberia728]

Mayim Bialik is so beautiful

[@mguevarra61]

A testament as to how talented a comedienne Mayim Bialik is: listen to the raucous laughter from 16:21 to 16:30. Effortless and funny as hell.

[@jessicareis9227]

I did watch the whole thing, it was directed directly at her because she too is a young actress and the comment was said right after Mayim's "crying" statement but it also to everyone there. They were all complaining about what comes to being a celebrity and blah blah blah. And that is why they all felt they needed to agree with Betty and share how they deal with it. I mean everything Mayim complained about was agreed with by the other young actresses or has been said by many other celebrities.

[@Byay844]

ohhh i didn't know they didn't repeat actresses. well im glad to know they were recognized!

[@rubyanjel]

It's Kaley, actually. And she already was in their roundtable sometime before. I don't think they let the same actors and actresses be in their roundtable on the same time in consecutive years. Jim's last Roundtable with THR was in 2009 and he was only back this year.

[@TheConciseStatement]

Betty White in there early with the Truthbomb : "Well when you look like that, you're not expected to be funny!"

[@NeaEmrys]

I have a girl crush on Mayim Bialik.

[@NeaEmrys]

Mayim and Sasha is the two people I can relate to in this group.

[@TheHavenChannel]

I love the honesty of this panel and actually liked that I learned about how they feel about the production difference from years ago to now. New actors don't appreciate how easy they have it in some regards or how difficult it may be in others. And I do agree that actors should be given time to learn the script ahead of time. These directors now a days are so indecisive and ADD, they change stuff every five minutes with no structure. I also agree that unless you are doing something different and new each take on set, that it can get tiresome and annoying repeating a take over and over again for a different camera during single cam. I love learning how people feel about the process and how it used to be vs how it is because I'd love to work with the older actors vs some of these new gen actors, because some of them don't cut it in my opinion. I'd love to bring some old parts of the process back especially the use of practical effects vs cgi. You get a more real response from an actor by actually having cold or hot weather or seeing the monster vs following a tennis ball on a stick pretending somethings there. Oh yeah ,I don't like this set up or the echo but the information is still good.

[@JC222]

I get your point but most times actors still have to imagine the monster because its going to be cgi anyway.

[@scurrylifeamusements]

Betty White❤
