How can anybody NOT completely love Jonathan Groff!! Bring back Mind Hunter and Looking!

[@rls25132]

Please, please, please bring back Mindhunter. What an absolutely marvelous show. I keep watching over and over.

[@WonderWhatHappened]

I keep looking every month or so in hopes to find that they are doing another season on Mindhunter but have been disappointed every time I check.

[@randomletter-5i4]

Looking...one of the best series ever...in my top 3.

[@paranoidandroid1997]

Looking was amazing, Mindhunter was excelent

[@notyourgrannyscloset]

I don't like him for hurting Kevin in Looking 😪😪😪

[@claudiaraffo9340]

@jonathanGroff is such a nice person. A couple of years ago, he was nice enough to stop and signed an autograph for my niece who was a total fan. Super nice and warm hearted young man.

[@mikayocc]

Never heard a bad word about him. Heart of pure gold!

[@TheLauren800]

I love to hear that!! I always worry about him I know he's such good friends with Lea Micheal who doesn't have a great rep but I don't want to judge someone for who there friends are.

[@mikayocc]

@@TheLauren800 I know right... it's probably his biggest flaw - being friends with her. HAHA (jokes). I hope she's become a kinder person - we all know Jonathan inspires kindness in her.

[@kristajohnson9173]

@@TheLauren800 just remember the only people that can tolerate hanging with a narcissist are the ones who just let anything roll off their back

[@madelynstoltzfus]

He stopped in the middle of the street on his bike to say hi to me after years of me trying and knowing how I grew up with his family. Hes honestly the best, he knows what it’s like to want to meet someone that is an inspiration so he tries to do the same 🥹

[@nsn5564]

America's sweetheart, everybody, Jonathan Groff.

[@trontron5209]

anytime jonathan groff is on here, jimmy starts fangirling so hard, like it actually seems genuine

[@idalaursen8935]

Really. I feel like it’s such a spiel on Jimmy’s part. Have no idea if it is - but it feels like it to me.

[@ashley.m.9835]

I had the most wonderful privilege of meeting him in NYC at a restaurant next to the theater during his run on Little Shop of Horrors. He took so much time to have a conversation, what a wonderful human this guy is.😊

[@sgd.6830]

Jonathan is perfect in every way 💚 Even his speaking voice is beautiful 💚

[@mikayocc]

How can a voice be so beautiful, sexy, warm, and adorable all at once??!

[@sgd.6830]

@@mikayocc I totally agree, I bet he’s great at reading bed night stories. He should do audiobooks 💚💚

[@mikayocc]

@@sgd.6830 He HAS!!

[@YodaMasterOfTheUniverse]

THE JONATHAN'S ARE KILLING IT. GROFF AND BAILEY, HOPE THEY MAKE A MOVIE TOGETHER ❤❤❤❤

[@TheLauren800]

I was just going to say can they date and let me be happy !!! :) I would die!!!

[@stickynorth]

Kudos to one of the nicest guys on Broadway... The world needs more JG's!

[@NellieKAdaba]

And the typewriter too, I used to have one.

[@lilybellmorgan9081]

I love Jonathan Groff

[@ksmith1728]

Omg he was so good in Mindhunter …shame on Netflix for canceling it 😢

[@DNTXPCTMCH]

Jonathan is a part of my family and he doesn't even know it. My children I have been listening to him sing as King George since before they were born. They don't know life without him as Kristoff. I want to be this man's friend

[@Nycbby]

“I’ve never dreamt this big “ 🥹 felt that! Blessings ✨

[@SamanthaJackson]

Can confirm how both talented and lovely human Groff is. I once traveled to the UK from Italy to see him perform on stage, and he was amazing on the show, plus super sweet and caring at stage door. A true one.

[@madelynstoltzfus]

Hearing him talk about PA and his childhood in almost EVERY interview he does warms my heart. He hasn’t forgotten about us! I can just picture him running through the fields 😂 We miss him so much here, and I cherish the memories I’ve made with his family years ago when I was a little kid. Growing up with them has been a blessing. Maybe I should join the Strasburg parade this year… 👀

[@katieandreano3619]

Did they edit that part out? Tried to show it to someone and now can’t find it! 😢

[@maryroberts589]

​@@katieandreano3619I guess they did. I was wondering what that part of the comment referred to.

[@RickyMackie]

I hope he comes back as Holden Ford soon. We need more Mindhunter!

[@lynnnguyen6377]

What a gorgeous human this man is

[@loveforeignaccents]

Was wondering where I knew this guy from... Mindhunter... what an excellent series, if you have an opportunity to watch.

[@spacenerd9499]

I'm so sad no season 3 ,😢

[@loveforeignaccents]

@@spacenerd9499 Yes, I wish there was... but then I would have to rejoin Netflix again. It would be worth it though, even for a month just to watch that masterpiece!

[@yuplusjin]

that was the first show I've heard about him😆

[@Bookwasbetter]

​@@yuplusjinHe does a lot of theater

[@mikayocc]

I miss Agent Ford SO much. :(

[@junechopak6306]

Johnathan Groff us an amazing human so humble and kind truly a talented guy

[@rebeccagoris1855]

My daughter and I were lucky enough to see Merrily. It was wonderful. Jonathan’s charisma filled the theater.

[@nicholasgarrick8855]

Lovely interview Jonathan groff is amazing humble talented ,and relatable not to mention mindhunter one of his best shows of the 2020s love him❤.

[@wotan10950]

I had never even heard of Jonathan until I haphazardly watched a video and show. He is incredible! This guy can do drama & comedy, sing & dance, seemingly do everything great. So many extraordinary younger Broadway stars these days. Colton Ryan is another favorite.

[@JefferriAndrews]

He voices as Kristoff in Frozen if you didn’t know

[@shahartley]

I liked him as Jesse on "Glee."

[@NellieKAdaba]

I don't remember him on Glee.

[@shahartley]

@@NellieKAdaba He played Jesse.

[@tomasloret-uw8zp]

I love seeing Jonathan Groff as Kristoff in Disney's "Frozen" movies

[@rjcarter2904]

He's an awesome actor.

[@bobhess7434]

I saw the show on Broadway recently. It was tremendous. HE was tremendous. I am hopeful that a well-deserved Tony Award is in his future. I could also see either one of this castmates getting the award in the supporting categories as well. There are also three other principle roles--and those actors play them so perfectly, too. Brilliant acting, direction. staging, score, and book.

[@adematti]

Jonathan is so delightful!

[@denisefreitas6727]

Love Jonathan! He's so adorable, so talented! He's already a legend! 💖☺️

[@mmcgrego51]

He is one of the sweetest humans

[@MrMisuma]

He was so great in Manhunter.

[@redadamearth]

Tell Groff to hold David Fincher down and force him to make the third season of "Mindhunter". lol

[@kevindouthit9675]

Jonathan is so beautiful

[@patricedecourcy4505]

Oh, now when I know that Jonathan is obsessed with Barbra, as I am, I like him even more! What impact this woman has had on people!

[@Sunshine23628]

Jonathan Groff is very talented, charismatic and great person !!!!

[@KellySmith-cb2up]

Your song has been haunting me!!! it often comes up in my head! Best performance ever! I’ve seen others come behind you, but they never are even at least even. Your are the King!

I just love him! JG is the best!

The old queens and their love for old divas ❤

[@bluepicis]

Such a talented and charming guy! Please bring back MINDHUNTER!!

[@nicholasgarrick8855]

So sweet of jimmys to use the typewriter Barbara Streisand use to celebrate her anniversary.

[@lynnhettrick7588]

I first found him on Looking! He’s wonderful!

[@sk88882]

he was so great in Looking--one of my favorites!

[@Disney65Fan]

He will always be Kristoff to me from Frozen.

[@thomasdahl2232]

Crazy likeble, and great in each part!

Please go on Family Trips podcast with the Meyers brothers. I want to hear more stories of your adventures

[@lynnhettrick7588]

Yes, please!!

[@erikjmoore]

Gotta love Groffsauce!! Still the best King George III from Hamilton... 😊

[@MrSwinefuzz]

"How do we take it out? Do you know how to take it out?" Groff removes the paper... "Whoa." WTF, he doesn't know how to use a typewriter. He's not a Gen Z, FCS.

[@MemeseMicos]

How can anybody NOT completely love BARBRA STREISAND? :-)

[@danceskatehorse]

I ❤ Jonathan Groff and Jimmy Fallon! I want to meet them!

[@AshleighBee]

I definitely help put merrily on the charts listen to it nearly everyday!

[@lashendawest7509]

We love jonathan groff and jimmy fallon

[@maryroberts589]

I don't always love Fallon's interviews and think he should stick to music and games, which he is excellent at. That being said, this interview is outstanding! Keep the guest interactions like this coming!

[@trapt29]

He's fantastic!

[@Kimbaface]

How amazing is Jonathan Groff!

[@jeffwatkins9]

What a total sweetheart Groff is! And all that talent. America really does have the best and the brightest.

[@lolskater4318]

Jonathan Groff is iconic!

[@WonderWhatHappened]

In case anyone wants to know: Jack Paar was host of the Tonight Show on April 5 1961. They had Phyllis Diller , Orson Bean, Alfred Dekker, and Gore Vidal as guests. Hugh Downs was actually the announcer.

[@knuman]

Bring back Mindhunter!!!!!!!

[@user-in9qo3fs6g]

Groffy always smelled good. He’s a big sweater and he always had the best smelling anti-perspirant. No cologne. Sometimes it’s just maddening how normal and down to earth he really is. I adore him
