This is how it goes when I run into someone I haven’t seen in a while at the grocery store.

Jay Z is so chill. No wonder Beyonce loves him. He's fun!

[@skepchica]

He's hilarious. Nothing is better than man that can make you laugh.

[@marksnexus]

Gotta give it up to Jay Z on this one, he was incredibly witty and just genuinely funny, they both were. 💯

[@elizabeth7563]

Jay-Z and Dave always have the best damn interviews. Jay can say a lot in a few words and he can volley back at Dave like few others. And both are fans of each other.

[@amberwilliams8240]

Great chemistry

[@evegenesis6022]

One of the most entertaining interviews I’ve ever seen. These two have incredible chemistry. Congrats to Dave & JayZ.

Bro Jay Z is hysterical

[@pinayJayX]

Jay-Z is hilarious and it’s astonishing to me how he can almost answer every question with a mimik or max 3 words.

[@JohnSmith-by2fl]

Hilarious??? Wow you have a very low bar for comedic talent!

[@akakak1637]

@@JohnSmith-by2fl hes trolling dave in a dry playful way. hes roasting late night interviews, similarly to norm macdonald roasting roasts. try to keep up.

[@JohnSmith-by2fl]

@@akakak1637 ohh yeah he's exactly like Norm MacDonald....lol... funnier even... Not sure what type of vibe JayZ is going for, but it comes off awkward and weird.

[@akakak1637]

@@JohnSmith-by2fl way to keep up. all ill tell you is jayz has been on the show many times and is friends with dave. much like norm at the roast, hes intentionally being awkward and trolling david letterman and the late night interviews in general. did you catch up yet?

@@akakak1637 I gotcha. I’m just saying it’s awkward and unfunny. Comes of weird

“Vacation, tan” What do you when you stay home ? “Eat” had me rolling hahaha

[@AlyssaAllen.a]

This interview was frustratingly uncomfortable and I loved every second of it lool

[@LEMDROPS]

Right. Haha

[@martyc909]

This is how all their interviews go and it’s amazing

[@hutch1197]

It was purposely that way. That's how he and Dave used to make each other laugh.

[@Sheherhis]

I know I didn't know what to expect bur then it was so entertaining at the samextime😅😂

[@tnoreet86]

It’s not uncomfortable lol you’d have to see their other interviews they are just so funny together

[@eversonkudakwashechieza5937]

It’s like they’re playing Chess 😂😂Jay Z🔥🔥😂

[@myFatherWasAdrinker]

Brilliant 🎩

[@lisaellis7137]

Is JayZ low key owning this interview? I think I love this. Can’t stop laughing. 😅

[@deevasquez1171]

Jay certainly hit the lotto with Beyoncé, people always ask how and why she chose him, every Jay interview I watch he has amazing charisma, a playful personality and great sarcasm. He doesn’t do the tough guy bravado a lot of rappers do in interviews.

[@lmichelle80sbaby]

Yes, he did but she did as well. I lol when people say they don't get what she saw in him cuz he's got a lot to give. He's like her, just doesn't give it to everybody!

[@stumpymacbagpipes16]

They're in the same illuminati, satanic circle, that's how they met.

The most awkward yet most entertaining exchange I’ve seen. 😅

For a moment, Jay-Z was doing the interviewing and Letterman was the guest 😅

[@blackspider1405]

These two are perfect together

[@Isabella-wm3th]

You can see Jay Z is incredibly smart

[@phi-losiphy2038]

So smart he cheated on Beyoncé with another FAMOUS person! Wasn't even careful to not have it out on the news!

[@zalegalizaciju434]

Jay-Z is Psychopath...

[@Vasquez.213]

U must have grown up in the ghetto if you think a person with regular amount of intelligence is "incredibly smart". The bar must be set extremely low for UR ppl lol...

[@axcx4675]

That isn’t true at all.

[@deevasquez1171]

That literally never happened miserable 😂😂 you Karen’s are a little too obsessed it’s scary

[@AchillesandArtemis]

Jay Z came to not get interviewed lol

[@siimplyrayyy8181]

fr he dodges all the question.

[@vit7890]

​@@siimplyrayyy8181 Jay and Bey almost never talk about their relationship, especially during those early years

[@CustomFitted]

The underlying subtext of what Jay was saying in this interview is...if you're gonna ask me about my personal life, I will have very little to say. If you ask me about my professional life...we can have a conversation. I'm sure he's cool with Dave and it was still all in good fun..but notice how he started engaging and talking more when the subject got off of his marriage lol

[@celestialnubian]

It was comedy. They were both in on it. Sad that you didn't get it.

[@CustomFitted]

@@celestialnubian I acknowledged that it was all in good fun and I'm sure they were cool, it's not that I "didn't get it." But there's also a little truth behind every joke.

[@eaglemakesmemes2486]

One of the only interviews where the host talks more than the guest😂

[@ayathabib4632]

His facial expression at 2:13 when "he married Beyonce" , loveeeeeeee

[@sedhonea6181]

I do not like interviewers making fun of their guests. Jay Z knew how to maintain his position in a funny and polite way. Awesome

[@hankhill5566]

Letterman I Respect you so much now💯

[@jessiekatetheking]

Imagine being married to BEYONCÈ

[@TheLife0fdrew]

Every time I watch interviews I always hear Beyoncé voice say “ it should be about the art and music. Our personal life is not your business” so watching this. I can really feel that energy off jayz and how annoyed he is. Letterman talked mostly about his home life marriage and beyonce more than he talked about HIS music. We’d probably see more of our favorite stars do more interviews if we just stuck to appreciating their art, rather than their personal lives :/ so sad

[@celestialnubian]

God you must be dense. Jay was doing humor and Dave was in on it. The fact that you don't know this is sad. Some of you new kids make me very worried about the future.

[@kwbaby4297]

Jay looks good here..

[@hanselmansell7555]

His laugh is jeeky af! 😅
