Jason Segel's "Dispatches from Elsewhere" Is Magic As An Act Of Defiance

[@januarybaby1063]

There is something so clean, pure, honest and happy about Jason segel.

[@PunkPopik]

I know, right?

[@srishefar902]

He's basically Marshal irl

[@jeffwschoenfeld]

Yup. greed.

[@spendingtimetogether8428]

He seems like a kind man, and what an amazing show he made. Hope there's a season 2.

[@ocean7849]

He is like a big, happy bear

[@wolflarson71]

I ran into Jason at a restaurant in LA. I was with someone who called his name and he graciously stopped and said hello despite the interruption. Such a nice guy.

[@SuperstarRajinikanthFan]

It's great that Jason Segel is back. I missed him on TV and movies.

[@solegonz762]

Sincerely, hope I see Jason in person to thank him. What a beautiful soul. Watching him feels like a hug. We are the same age & he has made laugh hard throughout the years.

[@Fifthelement203]

Forgetting Sarah Marshall is one of the funniest movies I had ever seen. A true classic. Still cracks me up.

[@ShadyShadok]

That interview is so incredibly wholesome! I needed that today :)

[@ShadyShadok]

Just checked the whole trailer...has a complete different vibe to it than shown here in the interview....I wonder how it will work out

[@kaspinet]

ShadyShadok I've been having the same reaction. The description in the interview is optimistic while the ads and trailer seem almost sinister.

[@anouarkrassimovich7481]

3 episodes out, check them out, just like what the interview says + sinister layer, i guess to keep suspense alive

[@TheDreadfulCurtain]

Definitely give “Dispatches from Elsewhere” a watch ! Potentially Life changing !

[@keshav_p]

You might love THE OA even mpre :)

[@terranceporter2644]

Whoa. No mention of #HIMYM in the intro?!?

[@eabea]

Probably requested by Segel

[@krystofdayne]

@@eabea Yeah I agree, that seems likely. I remember that there was this rumour that after like season 4 or 5 Segel wanted to leave the show because he felt that his character had nothing left to do, which is pretty true btw. So I don't think he's really that proud of that show and I would agree, watching that show nowadays, you become aware how creepy like pretty much all of the guys are...

[@eabea]

@@krystofdayne I'm not sure it's as sad as that, I just think he doesn't want to be linked to himym for the rest of his career, and he's always been the most proud of what he's written himself. Also yeah, he might have felt a bit trapped in the show, but that happens to everyone who's leading a long-running TV show, I think.

[@ollis.1605]

I honestly thought I had always mistaken him for someone else cos it wasn't mentioned! But I'm happy he's distancing himself from that awful show. He seems like a genuinely good person!

[@Clymaxx]

That's the longest segment of his career and his most famous role. I'm sure every interview he's had (including his appearances on Colbert) mention it. It's tired and uninteresting now.

[@martintemelkov]

Swear Jason seems like an incredibly nice guy.

[@murderface3r]

Marshall

[@alexandrarendon5055]

I absolutely love this guy he’s just soooo genuine and honest and handsome

[@msalign1124]

this is one of the best things i have ever seen on moving media. it encompasses our search for connection, our search for meaning, it has an honesty to have not have an answer, but to depict our search for the answer

[@shahana_style]

See. This is why I "love" Jason Segel. I was just smiling non-stop for 9minutes straight and my cheeks hurt in the best way.

[@hoodies2910]

Jason Segel is so wholesome i love it

[@lanyard09]

When he came out, i have to admit I was a thirsty girl. Then he started talking and just fell in love with him more. Jason, hunny. You be happy, you deserve it all.

[@laurakuhn8743]

"Preform random acts of kindness and senseless acts of Beauty"

[@nanditatiwari4372]

Laura Kuhn Magic as an act of defiance.

[@mlfeathers7527]

Preform?

[@laurakuhn8743]

@@mlfeathers7527 yes you make some up ahead of time, preform them in other words: you get all your needed items in hand. You can't give a cup of coffee to someone if you don't have the money for it... you have to have a flower in hand so you can give it to someone. Also Autocorrect

[@elchasai]

Jason is one of the good ones, he has a gigantic heart.

[@Ernie1978]

This mate was brilliant in The End of the Tour. Should've been nominated for an Oscar.

[@brekkoh]

Crazy that such an outlook comes 1 month prior to one of the worst years of our time, we need more people with more minds like Jason

[@streamingeagle1]

one of the most likable guys on the screen

[@noirettebeauty]

This is the San Francisco I grew up in! Im used to seeing random things, like toilets, hearts, sculptures, popping up on street blocks during my commute to school. Im used to walking around with my friends along Haight and meeting friendly straight-edge people. Im used to dressing in costumes on days other than Halloween, on trips to the grocery store just because, and seeing others that felt the same and us kindly nodding to each other or saying, “Hello!,” and wishing others the same, whether they enjoyed the silly randomness or not. Im used to playing capture the flag with nerf guns in fisherman’s wharf, sutro heights park, and all around powell. Growing up in San Francisco in the late 90s and early 00s is nothing like the San Francisco today, and now that I live in New York as an adult, I havent seen anything as carefree and kind as this.

[@NewMessage]

The doc he mentions is 2013's "The Institute", if anyone's wondering. Magic indeed.

[@MaggieLawlor]

Thank you!

[@zoperman23]

Thanks!

[@CousinLarrySitsThere]

Thanks for not making me search long. Your help is much appreciated

[@chelleolsen969]

One of my favorite films of all time ever

[@sarahmorrill]

"In Bright Axiom" is even better, but both are great.

[@josremery]

Everyone should go watch The Institute, the film that inspired this show. It's so weird and wonderful. It was on Netflix forever ago..

[@crsereda]

Yes. Go watch it. It’s suuuperrrr easy to find streams on google 👌🏻

[@SuperAngryWalrus]

It's on Tubi TV for free.

[@InfamousSOGII]

No, the show was inspired by the IRL ARG called the jejune institute and so was the movie, Jason was apart of that game, look it up, its amazing

[@sarahmorrill]

I was afraid the TV series wouldn't do justice to the Jejune Institute, but wow, it did.

[@abbiemeadows6579]

he's so sweet omg "hi" "hi everyone" 🥺

[@realtalkwithLorin]

I didn't realized I missed him until now.

[@christinabroadhead3810]

I like this guy! This show seems wonderful and energizing, very creative. We need this as we've become far too conservative and stuck, which can create a deep depression for many years.

[@therealfabioverbo]

4:26 "Not yet." So many memories!

[@amangoyal923]

Florence+Machine is singing in my head

[@zezinho592]

Jason Segel is just awesome

[@corissadorethy1837]

I did the whole jejune / elsewhere experience and am in the documentary....I am really looking foward to this show.

[@d.sfilms7677]

Awesome, did you enjoy the show?

[@spendingtimetogether8428]

You are so lucky! Wish we had something like this here, but it won't be the same since somebody already did it.

[@freelucid]

I just finished watching "Shrinking". An absolute gem of a show!

[@tenikahoward4907]

So loveable.

[@redwoodrivers]

Stephen, this day's guests were amazing. More stories of inspiration and magical acts of defiance, please.

[@marcoguerra8506]

Dispatches from Elsewhere is such an amazing show.

[@megodoy]

Such a cool, humble, man. LOved it!

[@CalmingZone]

I want Jason Segel to be my best friend and I have thought so the last 15 years. Come over and hang out bro!

[@AlexanderRoseTz]

I like this actor. So real.

[@MrEricSir]

Loved the Jejune Institute, but was always so hard to explain to people. Maybe this show will help.

[@kaspinet]

I described it as an escape room game if the room was an entire city and the objective was to find beauty, wonder, and friendship.

[@MrEricSir]

@@kaspinet Fair enough, but it turned out you never had to escape at all.

[@kaspinet]

@@MrEricSir Love that.

[@spendingtimetogether8428]

You guys are both right. Beautiful.👍

[@byirds]

I LOVE JASON SEGEL 😭😭😭

[@hollycarter725]

I watched the first episode and it's so good.

[@Bald_and_Brown]

Michael Dominick Can you elaborate? Where are the paraphilas?

[@kevinheller5414]

Seems like a such a sweet man

[@amangoyal923]

Jason Segel is undeclared LEGEND

[@vetarian]

Everywhere i see Segel i always see Marshall Eriksen. Always and everywhere. This character will stay with him forever

[@MuhammadEgypt]

For me, he's still Marshal.

[@natertot736]

its so crazy that the last episode of the show really did write itself

[@Trinitics]

Bringing joy to the world. Love it

[@soccerchic365]

Truly surprised Colbert didn’t list “How I Met Your Mother” as one of Segels works in the beginning considering it was on THE SAME NETWORK AS HIM for 9 seasons! Maybe even CBS wants us to forget about the series finale lol

[@uraharasshop3547]

Deema what happened in the finale?

[@soccerchic365]

@@uraharasshop3547 too much to explain. i'd recommend looking into it.

[@hd-xc2lz]

@@uraharasshop3547 Disappointed some, confused other fans, and made medium-happy the rest.

You sold this show Mr. Segel. I'll be watching.

[@spendingtimetogether8428]

Such an awesome and profound series. Memorable.❤

[@b-meaker99]

This is like the coolest fucking story ever. Jason, you lucky bastard, you...

[@googleuser2874]

Love Jason Segel.

[@lissymurphy503]

Love love love!!! Absolutely AMAZING!!!!💕💕💕💕💕

[@sarahmorrill]

Jason Segel was the perfect guy to do Dispatches from Elsewhere.

[@mjgoodson]

I'm forever grateful he made a good Muppet movie for me to enjoy with my kids.

[@dufehlstmir]

I hate it,that there is always one year delay until we see stuff in Germany. I wish i saw this series earlier. Definately Changed me and the way i think .

[@sammybabi]

Very beautifully said

[@dantheman3082]

I love how he is fascinated by the smallest special ARG and now he's doing and ARG for us

[@nicholasschoonbeck6866]

His story reminds me of my friend's son who was playing with his friends & they hit a fallen log that exposed a nest of stinging insects. My friend calls me at work, because I was closest & I could make my own hours & says my son is apparently badly stung, go help him. I get there & the boy is literally stung from head to ankle, & both arms to the fingers. I asked what happened, he says they exposed the nest & the other kids ran. I asked why he didn't run, he apparently put his arms out like a scarecrow & just got stung until he collapsed & the other kids got an adult. He said he stood there because his father & I had told him before that if you don't harass bees, they won't bother you.

[@cierrablue]

Good on him. I can hardly wait to see it.

[@angelheadedhipster2214]

What a fantastic sales pitch to get us to watch it.

[@Josh-ie4hb]

So happy to see segel back!

[@shaynekevin]

Awesome show and demonstration of a true modern artist.

[@kimberleydiann771]

SOOOOOOO GOOD!!✨🤗

I'm currently in the middle of watching the TV show how I met your mother and Jason is keeping me rolling 😂.

@@EricGates It's definitely funnier, lol.... I've seen people do some crazy things to get in the door

[@TheDuality0fMan]

Jason Segel and Kevin Smith are on my happy dudes I would love to get to chill out with list.

[@ThiagoOliveira-iv2nx]

You see, for Jason it must have been easy to play the Marshall's Role as he behaves just like him. Really a cool guy.

[@StephBer1]

He looks better now than when he was 25.

[@lioneleminence3401]

That is so true. People obsess about youth but in reality age brings grace and understanding.

Damn he looks good with facial hair, omg zaddy AF 😍😍😍😍😍

[@quietastronaut]

Anyone watch this show and want to share opinions? After looking it up, it doesn't seem like something I would usually watch. But Jason managed to make it sound really intriguing.

[@Tracks777]

awesome content

[@housewiferevolution4750]

I wish with all my heart that he'd finish his Dracula musical with the puppets!!

And kids that’s how your Uncle Marshall got on Stephen Colbert.

[@jo8242]

I always liked Stephen for his monologue but damn he is a really good interviewer.

If The Twilight Zone and Vanilla Sky had a baby , it would be Dispatches

[@critterkarma]

Will the producers make the show interactive? That would be so cool!

[@devo229]

Loved the first episode very hitch hikers guide the the Galaxy vibe but not in space

[@tahiniii]

This is one of the most insightful and imaginative things I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen a lot. Never knew he was such a talented actor. I wonder how much you know about metaphysics @jasonsegel
