I love how uncomfortable he made Stephen

[@taniam77]

Bekah me too 😂😂😂

[@twistfinger]

Stephen always seems like he wants to be the star during the interviews and doesn't want to let talented guests be talented. God forbid he gets upstaged.

[@CC-sz9ze]

@@twistfinger I hate to agree but I also noticed that.

[@colinforbes426]

@@twistfinger As much as I wish it weren't so, I've lately noticed much the same -- he has a stick up his ass, and on top of that he's passive-aggressive to his guests more often than not.

[@taniam77]

Colin Forbes you’ve nailed it! Passive -Aggressive. I was struggling to define what was bothering me about Stephen and now you’ve just nailed it for me. Thanks

He lost control of that interview so quickly lol

[@Buenomars]

Stephen got a little nervous after Jason said "overthrow the rich!" knowing he's the richest one in that studio!

[@cheeseonyomama]

Definitely. His "I'm all for helping the poor, but don't tax *me." was showing hard.

[@Echo8081]

wow he is literally adrian pimento

[@kristopherryanwatson]

Totally..I wonder how many knives he has hidden away in his jacket.

[@youngsandwich8549]

Ha ha

[@tonygeek1257]

The truth is he wasn't acting in B99, he just walked in one day and he started speaking with the actors and they kept him on the takes and got the name off-camera.

[@Unqualifiedtake]

Rafi... you must learn about Rafi

[@sammyjankiss287]

You mean Rafi....Come on.

[@Drumsta0904]

Colbert got awkward after the “Overthrow the rich” comment lol

True. You could also say the same thing about a large percentage of Hollywood.

basically EVERY comedian from Chaplin to Seth Rogen

[@DizzyBusy]

If you like him, tune in to How Did This Get Made podcast. It's Zouks, June Diane Raphael (the older daughter in Grace and Frankie), and Paul Scheer (a character actor who's basically in every TV show). Zouks is a bit toned down but he seems like a great conversationalist

[@jasonflay8818]

"if you can imagine, I play the drifter....." That look, hilariously fantastic! He is like a living Muppet!

One of the things I love about Jason Mantzoukas is his love of Gilmore Girls and if pressed, he will go on a rant about murdering Rory's boyfriends (except Jess) 😁😂😆

[@Frank.E.Valley]

True story, though, most of Rory's boyfriends were trash. Dean was okay, though. He mostly gets shit for being Jess's foil.

[@embermonkey]

he tripped walking across the stage and this whole interview is a jacob's ladder scenario

Jason Mantzoukas is easily one of the best, funniest and most underrated actors of our day. His roles in Big Mouth and Brooklyn 99 alone have made him a notable, stand-out actor amongst a sea of mediocre actors.
