Jack Antonoff on Playing Coachella, Producing Albums & Dealing with Men Like Kanye and Trump

[@lesanswau]

I love how random Jack is - I think he’s a musical genius & just so in touch with his own quirkiness - not afraid to be unashamedly himself.

[@LD-tn6ff]

What makes him “genius”? Specifically

[@kamimcnerney5963]

I love him. He’s smart in his chaos he’s perfect.

[@AnaGonzalez-qm9nu]

@@LD-tn6ffyou clearly aren’t familiar with his work.

Jack is so incredibly socially awkward...and I love it. 😊

[@crystalkadletc1944]

I love how awkward he is. It's adorable

[@Ablank2011]

I think he’s just a genius ❤

[@ephoeclothinginc.britishco6133]

I know, and yet he is the coolest dude on the planet. He is walking joy.

[@ericksaraiva1040]

This is one of my favorite interviews EVER. Imagine talking to Jack while drinking, I need that

[@giulia6344]

I didn’t even understand him sober 😭

[@ellenpederson-lewis8557]

Talking to Jack while drinking, would be amazing. I'd like to add Taylor in, too,!

[@amberrrbri]

If you don’t completely understand what he’s saying… you were never gonna get it anyway. Absolutely love jack!!!

[@LD-tn6ff]

I understood it fine. He could still improve dramatically upon his verbal skills

[@vontewes]

You make no sense. “I don’t work with many men because they just say “I’m a mess!” And that’s it.” What kind of sense does that make? None😂 I love his work but that scenario doesn’t make any sense, so explain it to me!

[@vontewes]

@@bug073 What you said makes sense… what he said DOESNT😂 it doesn’t correlate with him making music with dudes lol

[@vontewes]

@@bug073 Also isn’t it ironic you and him say that as if his main artist TAYLOR SWIFT hasn’t been saying the same stuff in songs for like 15 years😂😂 obv she the one who ain’t change shi

[@maricara3881]

The “couch” segment is priceless!!! 😂. Two generations communicating in dissonant lingo!!! 😂. Fantastically funny 👏

[@Sir6ALotB]

Finally..As a longtime Swiftie and ergo a knower of most things Antonoff, I'd observed that he has more things in common with Kimmel than Fallon. This video is exactly what I had in mind if he was ever on the show

[@munee17]

He’s a mumbling mess 🙄

[@AfterglowChlo]

Realll

[@Elizabethmay08]

I see why him and Taylor work so well together. Their intelligence is next level

[@vanlearrose]

Intelligence or ego

[@your_Death_1989]

@@vanlearrose intelligence they both are super smart

[@micheleraetz9346]

i was thinking this same thought before reading this . i have always loved the thought of sitting around with them what a trip that would be .

[@randomgrill784]

@@vanlearrose whats the point of this comment though?

[@sandrakaminsky]

Cause they both are neurodivergent

[@TabethaAurochs]

Jack: "But You People see each other more- Kimmel: "You can't say 'you people,' that's offensive to comedians!" Jack: "You People..." 🤣🤣🤣

[@mladenzivanovic3910]

And this guy writes top hits on billboard hot 100 😅

[@kimberlyahil]

I can totally see Taylor-and Jack hanging out.

[@Daijobustory]

Immediately, I thought getting Jack on a talk show is going to be hilarious

[@toyungu]

This dude is exactly how I pictured him in Fun. and I love it. Just a regular guy just happy to be here !!

[@maggiebgsu]

i’m losing my mind cus i just found out he’s from Fun.

[@nathelkaiyeepu8389]

Same that’s news to me!!

jack being jack for 10 minutes and 31 seconds straight

[@lizgloriamcdonough1306]

He is so dorky In a lovable way…. He has a brilliant mind…

[@narmadamariajoji6410]

STOP I LAUGHED SO MUCH THROUGH OUT THIS WHOLE INTERVIEW

[@clarissacavalcante7264]

Jimmy was really enjoying Jack's quirky ways. Excellent interview!!!

[@TheEmmeey]

I watched that whole interview and have absolutely no idea what on earth Jack was talking about 😂😂😂 but I still love him 😂

[@sarahx1884]

He's just so cute. I live him and his work is just art!!!

[@lashendawest7509]

We love jack antonoff

[@shawnuel]

He's great. Plus, if you switch syllables in his name, it is Ant Jackonoff!

[@AsherneZ]

Kanye made him and Taylor famous tho 😂

[@gl1723]

Honestly...one of the best interviews! Loved every second! 💚

[@wynonasbigbrowndragon6121]

Loved his appearance on Sesame Street as Jack The Grouch

[@jewellllll]

Very likeable dude. I love the image of Jimmy with the huge grin resting his chin on his hand listening. Great interview. Offerman was fantastic as well of course. Three great examples of men.😊

[@PopQuizPH]

i love Jack so much. He's such a dork and can't wait to see Bleachers live in September

[@HygienistDentist]

He’s amazing live

[@savethezombies]

Yea. He reminds me of Eddie Deezen in Midnight Madness. His album is dope too. I'm still not tired of that Modern Girl song and I don't think I ever will be.

[@semipenguin]

Jack Antonoff and Mark Ronson have written and produced some of my favorite music, for two of my favorite artists.

[@michennepeiris]

Jack Antonoff, you adorable human being!

[@mindyedwards3574]

Every person with ADHD just instantly related to Jack so personally. The awkwardness is real and well, endearing.

[@ДарьяРудакова-к5и]

Gorgeous! Gosh, thank you didn’t cut it out

[@kellydawson2988]

3:00 Jack subtly flipping JK the bird. Love him!

[@NewMessage]

His name sounds like a dare.

Bahahaha

It's great that someone in the spectrum is flourishing.

I love his neurospicyness (I'm ND and I love him haha. Random musings)

[@LizzieMcgraw]

Love your creativity, it's inspiring!

Jack repping TTPD jewelry ❤❤❤

[@nattitv45]

Jimmy needs to have more artists/musicians as guests!

[@NYandAZ]

Jack is so precious and hilarious. I can see why Taylor loves him. They have the same sense of humor and it’s the best.

[@philippemorin7634]

Awesome to see a genuine real eccentric on a talk show! This is like how Letterman used to have Harvey Pekar on or something...

[@timhoffman1169]

or like how letterman used to have harmone korine

[@joshuagale2725]

This cat had me crying. Full tears.

[@shawnuel]

He had me confused. But he was funny.

[@yannick_gody]

which part? 😧🤐

[@withershin]

4:40 - I totally follow Jack's logic here. It's a very good pop-music observation.

[@mycosys]

I'm somewhat disturbed by how much i relate to this guy. Definitely could make some hilarious music together. Without making much eye contact XD

[@Throttlemouth001]

That was deep! More of this!

[@HermitOnWheels]

Genius producer 💞🤟🥳

[@ANuStart8]

His coachella sets were insane.

[@ellenfaulkner7616]

His band was extremely successful

[@yvonnerolley9676]

He is so correct that men reach about 50 and cry about everything and so often narcissistic

[@christinab4115]

Dying that he’s wearing the same outfit as his album cover 😂

[@sallydavidson4471]

He & Taylor Swift are legendary writing partners! Thanks Jack!!

[@jtd1349]

His brain is constantly turning and you can hear it in his speech. No wonder him and Taylor get along. She knows words, he knows energy and has a brain that would rival Hans Del Brooke

[@violabeth]

It’s like watching Jack write lyrics live on Jimmy Kimmel.

[@heythatwasawkward]

Not recognizing oneself could be a symptom of Autism. I also see that he struggles with eye contact by often looking away from the audience and Kimmel. Autism is more common than people want to believe. It's a neurotype that can be present with or without intellectual disability.

[@KP-zd3hc]

I struggle with eye contact. But that’s because I grew up in Japan where no one meet each other in the eye even when talking to each other. Has nothing to do with Autism.

[@michaelstewart7265]

I disagree with this post.

[@heythatwasawkward]

@@KP-zd3hc that’s fine, it’s only one symptom of autism. A collection of symptoms constitutes a diagnosis. If you don’t do eye contact for cultural reasons then obviously it’s not autism but cultural differences

[@heythatwasawkward]

@@michaelstewart7265 care to elaborate?

[@marlyMe]

I think you nailed it. I worked with a guy who was like this, no eye contact, dry sense of humor and very seldom interacted with people he didn't know well

[@Samael1302]

I love him so much

See this is the mind of a genius folks.

Why am I just finding out about this talented human? He’s so interesting lol I love his personality. I have like have an idea what he’s saying but I also have no idea what he’s talking about. his mind is moving like a 10 miles a minute and his speech can’t keep up lol he’s not finishing his thoughts and sentences properly 😂 but I’m so intrigued.. And poor Jimmy is just trying so hard to keep up with him 😂
