[@Polacovidz]

We need a Day Drinking with Seth & Jason asap.

[@TrickWithAKnife]

The best idea I've heard all week.

[@mya200014]

Jason doesn't need alcohol 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@swiftdog49er51]

We big time need this!!!!

[@K80420]

i've never agreed with something so strongly.

[@danielmccallum392]

That would be epic.

[@tiffany4934]

I could watch another hour of him showing art from his house. This was hilarious.

[@mikaylajayney]

Let's get #showandtellwithJason trending!

[@TahtahmesDiary]

This!

[@tradingfriends]

I would watch that on loop. Just him holding up art and saying "why did I buy this?!"

[@phraydedjez]

agreed.

[@gateauxq4604]

If he made a KZbin channel and did, well, anything he’d have as many subs as Will Smith in a week. He is such a lovely agent of chaos.

[@Omnicrola]

This is the kind of hilarious interview that would never have happened without the pandemic giving Jason the ability to grab random things in his house, so there's a silver lining.

[@mikaylajayney]

This is, hands-down, the best zoom interview I have seen since the world was disrupted. Like this comment and let's see if we can get Jason to come back for a regular show and tell segment!!

[@TheJakeChandler]

Check out the recent Aubrey Plaza on Conan one too, it's great (the full 19min one, not the 4min clip).

[@sanderstar1000]

Agreed

[@iwong3357]

As an introvert, I think Jason Mantzoukas is what I'd call "intimidatingly outgoing". He seems friendly enough, but also so carefree and familiar that he'd just make jokes like acting offended over small things and my stunted social IQ would struggle to decide whether he's trying to lighten the mood or if he's genuinely serious.

[@TrickWithAKnife]

Jason is even more fascinating than his characters, and his characters are great.

[@Dudeness95]

Jason IS a character. Jeffrey Characterwheaties has fooled another one!

[@ritadmn3824]

He is his character. 😂

[@chrundlethegreat2251]

He should host a show where he finds obscure art

[@helpenor]

Never enough Mantzoukas.

[@MrWhangdoodles]

I'd say Pimento is the fucked up version of the International Man of Mystery.

[@philipdmiller]

Hands down best guest during the pandemic, I'd say get this man a trophy, he already has the perfect one

[@RHMGubloid]

I think that’s genuinely the hardest I’ve laughed all year. Please get Jason back soon! Or every damn day. Whichever you think is more appropriate

[@NeoMark627]

I also think it is the hardest I have seen Seth laugh. The mask seemed to have broken him for a second.

[@drunkengamingguide2084]

If you like you some zukes here, give a listen to "how did this get made" podcast

[@kathleenorourke9326]

for real. i thought the mask was going to be it and then the trophy and i lost it.

[@Triplemother]

I support this motion! I enjoyed seeing Seth lose it

[@DrEcho]

He didn't say one word about the show and yet I'm sold.

[@classicaltrombone]

That trophy deserves to be in the MOMA.

[@Tamsincanroar]

I’m literally head over heels in love with him

[@nidhis1289]

same😩

[@bzuku9554]

same

[@telectronix1368]

Those are such Derek-level paintings.

[@gustavopereira4924]

LMAO

[@gateauxq4604]

He’s so chaotic and yet he had the camera perfectly set up so he could sit down in frame with a great backdrop. That balance 😘🤌

[@therealmccoy1984]

I want to be his friend. For reals.

[@dazzlemasseur]

Same It must be so nice to have an insane philosophic friend.

[@telectronix1368]

Everyone thinks that, until he steals your soul and traps you in a painting.

[@marielavalon]

I’ve never wanted anything so badly in my whole life.

[@bbwibb02]

Totally agree. A couple years ago, my co-workers were all discussing which celebrity they would like to be friends with and when it was my turn, Zouks was immediately my answer.

[@stephanierosado1051]

I think everyone does...I love his episode of Nailed It.

[@mayaenglish5424]

Seth, I know you were joking about "Art Beat with Jason" but you need to make it a reality stat! just a 20 min/ 30 min/ hour long special or a regular segment, whatever works!

[@mooxim]

Dude steals any scene he's in. I always love it when I find out he's in a show that I'm watching. Parks & Rec, The Good Place, Harmonquest.

[@user-si9qy4sl1n]

Brooklyn 99

[@spadada]

He did a HarmonQuest ep???

[@andromidius]

@@user-si9qy4sl1n For real. He hijacked the hell out of that show when he was a regular.

[@s2Capacidade2s]

@@user-si9qy4sl1n Pimento!!

[@gustavopereira4924]

Legion too

[@dazzlemasseur]

You know this man is awesome when he leads the show's energy all the way.

[@lararesende7499]

Looking forward for the "Art Beat with Jason"

[@mikaylajayney]

Think we can get #showandtellwithJason trending?

[@RawBerserker]

He seems, genuinely, insane. Gotta love it.

[@flameboy_wonder]

The way that little girl's eye is trying to escape her face by the side-door...

[@connell8]

“I’m going for a circle.” Love that journey for him 😂

[@loknloll]

I basically rarely laugh out loud. Period. But that trophy thing? I'm laughing like a lunatic!

[@jakejaeric]

Jason is like Will Smith in "I am Legend": He's making up backstories for inanimate objects to prevent himself from going completely crazy in isolation and I love it.

[@catmonger86]

Art Beat with Jason Mantzoukas is the only think that can heal this broken nation. Please make it happen.

[@cforz9793]

"Art Beat with Jason" needs to happen! We NEED This! Art & Nervous breakdown! Sign me up!

[@rosesha6883]

“....I have lost my mind!” ....that’s why I am seeing Pimento !

[@a14a17k]

I'll never not see Brooklyn 99 and him breaking into Peraltas house

[@VincenteO2]

I love Jason and his voice. I’d listen to driving directions from him any day.

[@notsure1969]

This man represents everything I wish I could be.

[@Gatorfan_Cavon]

Great interview! I wasn't expecting to laugh that hard! 😂🤣

[@Beep1122POP]

I couldn't love him more.

[@brandongray6585]

I love him!! Fuckin hilarious. First time I started seeing seeing him was Brooklyn 99. Fan for life lmao

[@NewMessage]

When the little cowboy on your shoulder tells you to make a picture.. it'll sell... you make the damn picture, so he won't tell you to burn things anymore.

[@jerryjanik480]

one of the most underrated comedic actors he was he's always been one of the greatest comedic performance than anything he's in that's my trophy I have my trophy back lol

[@adebrysi]

his ability to play only slight variations on the same basic character and maintain a steady career is to be applauded

[@briangiese2628]

Please interview him for 5 hours next time. Thank you

[@daniellesteiner3100]

I need to know why there has still not been an Art Beat with Jason segment on this show. I’ve been waiting anxiously for it since this video came out. Let’s do it guys. ❤️

[@marikotrue3488]

Those portraits look like props from those mystery shows where all the cursed objects need to be collected and safely stored in order to avoid the apocalypse. I love Jason Mantzoukas. He has the sense of humor along with the gift to display it creatively (and what I most envy, make money doing it). In my life all I can do is make snide remarks without laughs or remuneration.

[@benjaminvolk5529]

This was one of the most genuinely funny celebrity interviews I have ever seen

[@hayzed9491]

That interview was highly amusing and way to short!

[@Hedra718]

I love Jason. He knows how to do a zoom interview. He should have a segment showing off the art in his home.

[@esmeralda478]

I LOVE this man! Why can't I find a guy like him? (Oh right, he's hiding in his house.)

[@roydenhunt]

I dead laughing with that mask reveal.

[@laventillelady9733]

This is by far the funniest interview I’ve seen on Seth Meyers! This interview left me in tears 😂😂😂!

[@bruknowsbest]

MAXIMUM DEREK!

[@rstuartcpa]

I'm sending a big "thank you!" for Jason Mantzoukas' What's in Your Bag. I knew I loved it from the beginning...but when you recommended Hop Along "Painted Shut" which is the best album I've heard in years. I turned you bag into a playlist and it's INCREDIBLE! You are the BEST and many thanks for recommendations.

[@elh1126]

He's turned me on to some great music!

[@yoursubconscious]

He's awesome.

[@harviebone]

Not embarrassed to share I have had a crush on Jason Mantzoukas for years. More than a decade.

[@meraxes6086]

Never be embarrassed of that. I’d marry him in a heartbeat. He’s amazing.

[@chrisray1567]

Now I need to know who won the 1993-94 season of Most meals with Dad.

[@pisceanqueen1]

This seems like a rivalry that manifested out of Jay's family from Big Mouth 😄

[@lilstubbs9553]

*1992-93

[@russergee49]

I’ve never read any pf the Percy Jackson books, but I nearly cried goddamn tears of joy when I read Jason would be playing Dionysus, the god of madness, in the TV adaptation. Such perfect casting. This guy is madness and joyful hilarity wrapped in one person.

[@jbbya6040]

Jason needs to be on every talk show at all times

[@stephenmabry2866]

See now? That was precious introspection few attain to achieve.

[@JudyIsSuperchicaPage]

Agreed that this is one of the best video interviews I've seen. Just, across the board. Anyone not interviewing Mantzoukas on the reg is missing a major opportunity. The only thing wrong with this interview is that it's waaaay too short.

[@Grsz11]

It's even better that you can hear Seth's crew laughing.

[@dimitreze]

Close Enough is pretty pretty great!

[@DissociatedWomenIncorporated]

I recognised that Regular Show animation style straight away! I need to watch it.

[@lorenaholbech]

I loved the first season, really fun

[@livaie]

Hey Nong Man.

[@Cybrarian1965]

ART BEAT WITH JASON - YES!!! We need this in our lives!!!

[@Isalas16]

Everytime I see Jason I realize Rafi and Pimento is just him, they hire him on shows and just let him do whatever he wants lol

[@antoniaathawilliams7]

I almost didn't watch this clip.... But I'm so glad I did! I needed that laugh!

[@spadada]

Yes to Art Beat with Jason. Every week.

[@azurecomet86]

Dude. Art Beat with Jason needs to be a 30-minute show in and of itself. 🙏

[@creativedesignation7880]

Jason's general demeanor has reminded me of how well I have managed to keep it together, not just in this pandemic, but just generally speaking.

[@ohthatpaul]

Jason Mantzoukas is very entertaining! He's really talented and funny and something else! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@superkid12345]

This was the best interview segment in the entire quarantine. Zouks is an absolute king

[@omnibus4157]

He was a great improv teacher in NYC back in the day, too.

[@sequoyadestroya]

Watching this interview was scary - he is me in male form. I have a small collection of bizarre trophies, have been talking to my thrift store pictures and record covers during pandemic, I have that milk glass apple on the ledge behind him but my mask doesn’t fully cover my beard.

[@thisperson21]

Jason is genuinely one of the funniest people ever! I would love to hear more about these insane items.

[@CR-tc2zv]

Love this guy, bloody hilarious. More of him please.

[@jamesd3874]

Please, can you just make this interview an hour long? It was just a fun time, SO MUCH BETTER WITH NO AUDIENCE ruining their flow.

[@catalinacurio]

Consideration for others getting that mask made, kudos. 😊

[@mohammedkone5847]

He's so hilarious! Did not expect the full-face mask lmao

[@bxlxe5903]

This didnt feel likeit was a 6 minutes interview! I wish it was longer...

[@ianedwards2496]

Man, I needed a good laugh. Thank you.

[@bunnyfernwood]

I love this maniac so much. Rafi, Derek, Adrian Pimento.. *chef's kiss*

[@jolladiwa8582]

proudly showing of the the nice things in my home via zoom. big mood. this is my kind of crazy after one year of lockdown life, too!

[@alonzosmith1843]

Jason looks like a cross between Jerry Garcia and Cat Stevens lol. Love him lol he’s hilarious. Jay is also my favorite character on Big Mouth.

[@BluePoetProductions]

Few things legitimately make me "laugh out loud" anymore. But this Jason Mantzoukas segment did it for me.

[@vadacris4095]

Oh man that was gold! Too short but gold, can't wait to see this guy again! Thanks everyone for making this happen

[@badnewshooty9728]

Mantzoukas is what we call a national treasure.

[@kirstenrubberducky]

Oh this is just pure joy!

[@lordcaptain73]

This is the greatest interview ever. I’m seriously in awe of every second 🤣

[@Catlandian]

We need an art show with Jason

[@swingcity7]

the thumbnail makes Jason look like patient zero! wtf! lol solid interview tho :)

[@baeb66]

Jason Mantzoukas is the absolute best. I'll watch him in anything.

[@ericksummerose1544]

One of the best interviews yet!

[@mamesmck5236]

This is hands down exactky what I needed right now. What a hero.

[@TroyDraws]

I love Jason Mantzoukas!

[@waterdrops9000]

1:44 i am going for a full circle! 😂

[@lindseyadams9229]

More Jason please!!! He’s the best!

[@raradis]

This is hysterical!

[@smbrg]

PLEASE make this a regular segment. Show & Tell with Jason. I need to see the other random things he has collected!!

[@rubailey4888]

This was so aimless and yet so entertaining. Thank you.

[@thomp9054]

Interview's way too short

[@poopnoodle9563]

This was one of my favorite interviews I’ve gotten.

[@tradingfriends]

I honestly love these more low key interviews, just chatting and showing stuff in the background. #ArtBeatWithJason

[@purplehighness2452]

This guy 😂🤣😂🤣

[@lovefall4758]

I love his lunacy. !!!!

[@vada4104]

Such a king. I want to see him in more things. Also, I love that horrible little girl in the background. Very haunting, 10/10.

[@realityjunky]

Yes!! Art/collectibles with Jason at least once a month, please!!

[@mitchmattern]

Oh my god, he has my trophy.
