Jesse Eisenberg's brilliance in his unique comedy, acting & writing is astounding! Loved him since Zombieland & his books are phenomenal.

brilliance.... thats an interesting way of saying lowest common denominator shite

[@joanneweiss3864]

@@garfoonga1 I can guess your lack of any measurable intelligence or interest in reading a novel, art & culture & comedy & depth in thought. Bet you're loving Mandelorian though!

I admire Jesse a lot, he’s such an interesting and compelling character. I was just hoping he would come on Seth’s show for Fleishman so I guess Christmas came early!

[@Lanwarder]

I hated it,, but I'm sincerely happy that you and other liked it

[@nextchancenow7153]

I like Jesse. Pours himself into the emotion of his character , has great comic timing.

[@SLFinSF]

He's Dustin Hoffman with Woody Allen's energy and mannerisms. THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST THINGS I'VE EVER SEEN OFFERED ON TV! Fantastic acting, amazing script -- I couldn't stop watching it (I'm 65). Just SO nice to see something so mature and with serious -- but not relying of "tricks" e.g. not violent, melodramatic, highly sexual content.

[@brettkeller]

Jesse Eisenberg's acting work is such an inspiration. an incredible talent and artist.

[@HEYGURLHEYXOXOJB]

The show is incredible! Cannot stop watching.

[@emiliabolsas]

Fascinating that he is averse to celebrity culture - but played an actual “celebrity” so masterfully in The Social Network.

[@r.p.mcmurphy6623]

Zuckerberg wasn't a celebrity yet in the movie.

[@annarepole2361]

he’s so fantastic, he has such a dry and smart sense of humor

[@ninap9044]

This interview reminded me of one of the best movie scenes of all time IMO, opening scene of “The Social Network”.

[@dawnmageenovascotiarealtor]

Love Jesse and his sister! Watched Paulie a thousand times!

This dude basically plays some version of himself in whatever he is in.

[@blueh9]

That's what I always said.

[@redseven485]

@@r.p.mcmurphy6623 true, but this guy takes the cake. It's the exceptional ones, where this statement does NOT hold true. Daniel Day-Lewis, Denzel Washington, Tom Hanks, Meryl Streep, Jack Nicholson. Even, dare I say it, Will Smith is a lot more versatile.

[@deborahfreedman333]

@@redseven485 Oh gag. Meryl Streep is sooooo fake. She and Nicholson are always too over the top, to be believable. I prefer an actor who can make you forget he's acting.

He's really funny. :)

[@TheRogueStatesman]

when they do a Woody Allen Biopic someday, Jesse Eisenberg has to play him...

[@lfeb]

Yuck

[@samantharae_]

I never knew how funny he is 😅

[@bridgersmacdonald]

i love him sm

[@CrabbyO]

When I listen to Jesse talk, I get notes of Woody Allen. Are they related? Or am I just hearing the dulcet tones of "shy awkward Jew?"🥰 Either way, I love everything this kid does! Edit: I wrote this op-ed before Jesse referred to himself THRICE as "awkward."

[@joanneweiss3864]

Hahaha "kid"...he's 39 & like Andy Samberg, will always look so young!

Yes. Very nebbish.

[@blackbird5634]

Deeply neurotic, emotional and unsure. If he ever decides to play Woody Allen he has the character down pat.

[@shasfuentecilla2746]

I hope Fleishman is in Trouble gets to be streamed in the Philippines. We have Netflix, Prime, HBO Go, Viu & VivaMax here that's it. Really miss Jesse and I want to see him in an interesting drama again. If only Night Moves was a series ...

[@tucci007da]

"A lot of people are saying that she's the best Wiig, Kirsten"

[@chipmunktubetop]

He is fuckin' adorable.

[@doctorfeelok8575]

How appropriate that someone named Fleishman would weaponize a piece of bacon. 😏

[@reneekad]

I had the Interview With A Vampire Laser Disc

[@NewMessage]

If that kid was smart, she'd splice in a scene from one of his earlier movies where he invents social media.

[@RoughTake]

Jesse is quick. Improv against this guy is probably hard to keep up with. 🤓

[@user-ui7wo3jv4h]

Who else had Trixie Mattel's Jesse Jesse song running through their head the whole interview.

[@savannahbain4588]

Wait is that song abt him ?

[@makiburgess5733]

He is like the Woody Allen for a new generation. But in a good way.

[@reneekad]

I like wigs. Always have.

[@ericminch]

Do you have merkins? Maybe a blonde one, a red-haired one?

[@geoffreyfeinberg9792]

He's a good actor. Even though I felt he was miscast as Lex Luthor.

[@doctorfeelok8575]

He was no worse than Gene Hackman LOL

[@redolentthought7085]

I work in and around the best restaurants and bars in Los Angeles, and Jesse has a giant spectrum of "nicest guy ever" to "he's always the worst person in the building"... He's always so likable in interviewszbjt I've heard awful stories from people in an industry I'm sure he might have had to dabble in before he "made it". Always a coin toss with me. Be yourself and don't treat the help like garbage, Jesse!

[@ZenArcher9091]

I wish he'd stop constantly doing a Woody Allen impression.

[@DS-ue6ih]

I love the movie where he was a nerd and got a dog and taught it German….. such a great film about how good men suffer from the patriarchy.

[@MeloniousThunk]

Is that the karate one?

[@reneekad]

Idk where I met the guy who said he worked for waste management but that seems really bad now

[@reneekad]

I was just trying to figure out what was going on. If only I had Eminem lyrics memorized.

[@bdawg8907]

I can’t get over the choice to cast him as Lex Luthor… that was horrific!

[@doctorfeelok8575]

The worst part is that he did exactly what he was directed to do, and say.

What kind of animal would waste bacon like that?!?

[@deborahfreedman333]

The question is, why would he be cooking unclean food?

[@jeanninemurray6539]

I hope Mr. Eisenberg reviews a tape of this interview and recognizes how frequently he is touching and scratching his face, even when he's talking. I would have expected that an actor with his performing experience would not allow himself to be upstaged by his own hands. So that was annoying. Luckily I have already started watching his show and find it to be really really engaging.

[@emiliabolsas]

I choose to view it as a testament to how good an actor he is. I can only imagine how nerve-wracking it is to be interviewed like this - even with his theater background.

[@nefariousmex2352]
