This series was way better than I expected. It captured horrific ontology of vampires and the twisted campy wit of gay men and some of the issues of race between gay “inter-racial” couples.

Its everything we always wanted and deserved

[@backto-il9ne]

Jacob is such a kind beautiful sensitive soul. The Emmys better not play games. Give him his Emmy nomination. He is completely magnetic as Louis.

[@KarenHunterShow]

I agree...he really is.

[@backto-il9ne]

@@KarenHunterShow and thanks for an amazing interview, Queen. A mix of comedy and some intellectual stimulation.

[@yoonahkang7384]

I dont care about the emmys tho. Fuck the emmys. We already know he is awesome. Those prices ruin evetything

[@Zuvuyapoet]

@@backto-il9ne I could not agree more❣️

[@thesmileyeffect]

I have been waiting for him to be on more platforms with other Black folks. The show is so good!

[@Theinfamouskiki411]

Love this show OMFG!!! love anne rice and love jacob anderson!! Wow we need black vampires! I love the young lady playing Claudia too she was my fav character! The history of storyville needs its own movie! Sam reid is lestat PERIOD!

[@krystaleve10]

YEESSS!! We need the story of Storyville!

[@loustat4037]

I love Jacob, his acting, his music and the way he talks. He has a bright aura on him. His character Louis is my favourite off IWTV.

[@yoonahkang7384]

Even the way he walks as Louis

[@imwalkingonsunshine6850]

Jacob Anderson's role as Louis de Pointe de Lac is captivating. I was shocked that he went through eight rounds of auditions to land this iconic role. The script seemed as if it was crafted specifically for him. I would have loved for Jacob to delve into why he felt Louis was a kindred spirit. Which part of the script made him feel like someone had gotten inside of his head and mapped out the battles he's had with himself, as well as the moments where his anxieties were triggered. I also loved that they talked about the origins of Jacob's middle name and the hairstyle trends he wore throughout the show's multiple timelines; for the simple fact that I loved the twists he wore as the older, much more seasoned Louis in 2021/22. It was a decent interview and I loved that it introduced new people to this adaptation of Anne Rice's book. Thank you for having him on your podcast, and I hope to see you interview Mr. Anderson in the near future.

I have been waiting on this interview! I listened live!! I loooooove Jacob so much and definitely as Louis! I have been down a rabbit hole listening to all his music!! I truly adore him!! The show and him again are AMMMMAZING!!❤❤❤❤

[@CrooklynKnight]

They better give that vampire his Emmy next year. Could listen to Jacob talk all day.

[@KarenHunterShow]

Listennnn!

@@KarenHunterShow great interview!

[@focusonu9668]

Jacob's acting and music is amazing #periodt I'm obsessed with this show.❤️

[@HorrorGeek9]

I loved this. I really like how they were able to incorporate race into the show. It added more depth to Louis and got rid of some problematic parts of the book.

[@yoonahkang7384]

Im so grateful for that.

[@nottoday1390]

Jacob!! He’s so amazing in this show

[@grinsekatze7930]

Jacob is such a talented human. His portrayal and understanding of Louis and all of the nuance that went into his performance... Beautiful.

[@klowwwww]

Enjoyed this but it's an odd choice to include a speaker/interviewer who didn't even watch the show (and when he said it to Jacob's face I got such second hand embarrassment). I thought watching the show would have been a basic requirement for media especially when you're having a 12-minute interview after the finale is out. Some of your questions were good but this conversation on the racial aspect of the show had a lot of potential so it's a shame.

[@KarenHunterShow]

no...it's Friday. I watched and they are on every Friday. I watched...so it was my interview.

[@klowwwww]

@@KarenHunterShow Yea your questions were great but the middle portion was a tad sloppy. This is meant as friendly constructive criticism, I didn't mean to upset you! The questions that the other two hosts asked were too generic and didn't give Jacob a chance to give deeper insights and didn't help promote the show either. Watching the show would have enabled the other two to ask better, more nuanced questions. P.S. it's spelt Louis with a S.

[@dynamicpisces]

I completely agree and the fact that she couldn’t even be bothered to learn Jacobs co-stars name (Sam Reid) is just lazy journalism.

[@chanzy8613]

How can u have an interviewer come on who hasn’t watched the show ??? 🙄💀

[@KarenHunterShow]

it's fine...the job is to entice people who haven't watched to watch.

[@sarahdeen5728]

Exactly like, to not even know his co-star's name...😬😬😬

[@chanzy8613]

@@sarahdeen5728 like they couldn’t even do 5 min research beforehand to show respect 😂

[@kennethdavis5309]

To know your true history is a treasure to be found.. Thanks for the show...

[@Zuvuyapoet]

He is simply one majestic Being!❣️

[@beckmannm]

Great interview! Jacob Anderson is SO charming! His smile is infectious. As Louis, he is beautiful and compelling, and he is of course those things as himself, but he's also SO CUTE! 🥰

[@dynamicpisces]

Out of all the interviews I’ve seen Jacob do to support this series you are the only interviewer who could not be bothered to take the time to learn his co-stars name. It’s Sam Reid, btw, and he acted his ass off as Lestat the Vampire. Sam, from Jacobs own lips, has become his very best friend and one of his most favorite people he has ever met. If I were Jacob I would’ve been insulted by your lack of research and out of hand dismissal of my bestfriend and co-star. These artists put their blood sweat and tears into these characters and they both deserve recognition and respect. Do better!

[@focusonu9668]

💯💯

[@user-hx3vp6vt2b]

That was such a let down because I was so happy to see Jacob interviewed by more Black people. Knowing Sam Reid's name (and at least watching one episode) is bare minimum!

[@dynamicpisces]

@@user-hx3vp6vt2b 100%. The absolute bare minimum.

[@Elaiyel]

Dynamic, you're fierce! 😉

[@dynamicpisces]

@@Elaiyel I am when it comes to things I care about. I’m a huge Anne Rice fan and I love this series. I’ve watched so much behind the scenes content and interviews with these amazing artists so when I see what I perceive as disrespect I’m gonna speak up.

I don't understand why King is here if he hasn't seen the show. And don't shift the focus to 'well blacks owned blacks' that was such a small part of slavery. Shout out to Jacob for putting up with all of you.

Professor Karen, when you take over the world or when you leave this planet in your rocket to live on another planet I want to come with you. You know every body. I don't mind I will do your laundry, clean your room empty your chamber pot. Professor Karen you drop a bread crumb " The Know World" by Edward P Jones. I am going to listen to it on KZbin. I am so excited for the new knowledge. Thank you Professor Karen. Please don't be freaked out by my remark about the chamber pot, I admire and respect you and what you have bought to the human space.

[@KarenHunterShow]

first of all if there is a chamber pot involved, I will not be messing with that...LOL. I wrote this before I saw that last line. but I appreciate the sentiment but where I go, you are welcome and you don't have to do a thing.
