Jessie Mueller Chats & Sings With Stephen Over Pecan Pie

[@marinao4412]

jesse mueller: professional musical theater actress, sings her heart out in front of a crowd eight times a week also jesse mueller: would you sing with me stephen im nervous

[@lyannenescro1203]

Jessie

[@sarahdavids7289]

whenever she talks i just expect her to have a southern accent and when she doesn't im always confused until i remind myself she doesn't actually have the accent

[@thatoneannoyingsoprano8066]

MEEEE

[@lila-oy9fi]

SAME

[@jarc492]

"You don't even have to blow it, it just comes." HAHAHHAAHHA.

[@ngjo3y]

If only waitress didn't come out at the same time as Hamilton sighs

[@marcuscorporal]

Waitress is a hit musical and is cheaper than hamilton so I see more people going to waitress nowadays

[@itisnotsree]

Well their comment was probably about the Tony's. If Waitress came out at a different time, it would have gotten many awards.

[@pastryhichu5317]

ngjo3y You're saying that as if Natasha, Pierre and The Great Comet of 1812 should come out in another year and The Great Comet of 1812 should win more awards than Dear Evan Hansen.

[@Keepfaithholdon]

Just goes to show that we’ve had sooo many good plays

[@JM-lh8rl]

_PhantashiYume_ Same thing with _Catch me if you can_ and _The Book of Mormon_

[@michellemagallon5172]

"Do you like human beings?" best interview question i've heard in a while

[@intheatremode]

LOL I frigin love it

[@skipperfen]

Jessie's heart warmed over completely @ 4:34 when she sees that Stephen has a really great voice. She had no idea it looks like. Seeing that surprise on her face is worth every minute of this video.

[@f13overture]

I thought it was pleasant surprise at Stephen's Carole King impression, right? Great video!

[@rachelj2166]

Jessie Mueller is such a beautiful, humble, and genuine human being!

[@abbeyhambaum]

[@Tytytytyty1776]

I love Jessie's face as she tries to find the harmony. A true pro at work.

[@herbertwells8757]

Assuming this was actually unrehearsed, she does a very good job at improvising harmony.

[@gi8093]

Well she's a professional singer..

[@WerdnaNiraehs]

Right though!

[@WerdnaNiraehs]

+gigi vitelli She could have done a much more basic harmony than that one. Not all singers are good at harmonies.

[@kitkat97284]

it was very lovely and not to take anything away from jessie but it was legit just the thirds above and below, aka the most basic harmony possible!

[@marcuscorporal]

I dont find harmonizing hard. I just need to know the melody of the song and I can create a harmony on the spot

[@diragusa]

Stephen you really paint a great picture of NYC life and culture almost every night. It warms my heart and makes me reminisce about the few months I've spent there throughout the years. Your doing the city of New York a service that will be remembered for a long time. Hopefully I'll make it to a show when I come down from Canada.

[@stargazerlillie7]

This video makes me smile! Colbert has a special way of making his guests feel comfortable and facilitating organic conversations. Love it.

[@maryg.1014]

love how Jessie switched keys and said that Carole would have sung it in a lower range.

[@beaubentley6028]

she seems lovely.

[@writerspen010]

I guess you could even say that she has a BEAUTIFUL personality! *ba dum tss*

[@RizwanJaganiViolist]

Beau Bentley she's a sweetheart. Met her twice and both times she was super nice.

[@iammary191995]

this past november my school's theater program had a NYC trip to see Waitress. Afterwards we had a talkback session with some crew members (we were told that it was just crew related, no actors). After a while, Charity and Caitlin came out, later followed by Drew and then Jessie (who sat in front of me). They talked to us for a while, answered questions, and overall were just really nice. An amazing experience.

[@Countrygirltori24]

My absolute favorite actress on Broadway. She's amazing.

[@RetroDegenerate]

the chemistry those 2 had during that interview was so genuine

[@michellemagallon5172]

This was so heart warming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stephen, you have this special sense of knowing how to branch out to different forms of art and it's incredible the connection you can have with your guests and audiences. Keep up the incredible work.

[@emzeecastlee]

she needs to do more press. i am obsessed with her

[@moodialabdualjabar2121]

Wow Stephen has a nice voice !

[@ashgray7398]

Damn but that woman has range

[@loc5559]

I wish I could have a teeny tiny bit of her talent!

[@katwil89]

She's brilliant.

[@user36able]

Imagine if they had pies baking in the lobby of a production of Sweeney Todd...

[@zackisgreasy4503]

You are such a genius

[@jayciedenise]

OMG

[@gabmusic2655]

Different smell 😂

[@tabithariley2020]

That smell would be terrible!

[@intheatremode]

...only where it sat

[@b1g_m00n]

CAN'T BELIEVE YOU HAD HER AND DIDN'T DEDICATE A SINGLE PASSING QUESTION TO SARA BAREILLES' MUSIC

[@apriljade9962]

I FEEL YOU. 😦

[@ALu-nq8rf]

RIGHT?!

[@RizwanJaganiViolist]

Luan Oliveira yeah idk why. She was on the show for Waitress, yet he started asking Carole King related questions. No disrespect, but it's like come on dude!

[@georgiasiegfried5382]

OMG TRUE

[@iAmMadeOfSoup]

This isn’t the whole interview

[@breezecold462]

This looked like a father and daughter duet and its soo pure

[@tofelipwithlove1150]

falling in love with Stephen more and more😍 I wish they'd sing the whole song.

[@chriszahariades6206]

I’ve never seen this lady before but I think I’m in love. The way she looks at Steven when he starts singing “tonight you’re mine completely...” (4:33).

[@jacklim8184]

she's still one of the most delightful people ive ever seen

[@sunrisky7557]

loved when she sang 'Sweetly' in the higher note! would love to hear a full duet with her in that key

[@writerspen010]

She's so adorable :3 I never really got into Carolyn King's music, but I do really enjoy what parts of Beautiful I've heard and the Tony performances I saw back when she was still doing the show, and same with Waitress. She absolutely killed it at the Tonys; Mueller seems like she has such an impressive range of emotional expression in the characters she plays. I hope I get to see her perform live one day!

[@banana2510]

It blew my mind that they bake a pie in the lobby of the theatre for every show!!! I definitely smelled it when I saw the show last week! Talking about an immersive theatre experience!!!

[@RaulAPinto]

I just clicked on this vid because of the pie... now I'm intrigued... who is this beautiful, charming girl with a badass vibe and a great voice, and why is she not winning Oscars and Emmys yet!

[@ooohbonecake]

She actually was on TV this year - she had a -very- small role on The Family - but her love is theatre. She actually comes from an acting family, they're all very popular in the Chicago theatre scene. Her parents both act, and her three siblings are all working actors as well. Just really good, salt of the earth people with a tremendous amount of talent!

[@nmcclymont]

She was in a movie recently (with Meryl Streep, no singing) and she will be in a TV show as Loretta Lynn with Megan Hilty as Patsy Cline, or vice versa

[@paulnebenzahl702]

Happy from Evanston, Illinois to see more of our peeps doing it!

[@jessiwins19]

UGH HER REACTION TO STEVEN SINGING TO HER WAS SO CUTE

[@laurencrisp9904]

THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL SO PURE

[@jarrodbackman-gallivan6467]

That was priceless.

[@northstar5747]

She has a beautiful voice....;) beautiful duet.....

[@MultiAngryGirl]

Her dress! I love it!

[@theaniacz]

She’s a treasure 😍

[@youmeandi100]

stephen takes every chance he can get to sing i love it

[@mythbusterslover14]

Will you still love me tomorrow is the most depressing and beautiful song I know. I first heard it in the movie filth and it just breaks my heart every time I hear it

[@okrajoe]

Pecan pie is the world's best pie.

[@GetShrektMrKrabs]

What's even better is coconut pecan pie

[@JoannC830]

+GetShrektMrKrabs I don't want Earl's baby pie

[@ALu-nq8rf]

When I worked at Village Inn, the most popular was cherry pie.

[@carolineelizabeth8245]

Earl sucks. And we all hate him

[@marcuscorporal]

Betrayed by my Eggs Pie

[@shahram72]

OMG as a dirty minded male I wasn't even there that I missed the joke the first time...... Had to rewind... I was just happy to be here!

[@tonygray7804]

Love her...

[@MrQqt]

beautiful beautiful voice

[@Margotxmargot]

She is such a wonderful human! What a lovely interview :)

[@maila6362]

'you don't even have to blow it, it just comes!' OMG I LOVE HER

[@Buenomars]

The same marketing tactic can be used to promote the play, "Titus Andronicus."

[@Emozisbit]

+Buenomars you win.

[@Constatonks]

+Buenomars Damn, you beat me to it... Kudos.

[@margomccready7230]

Hopefully the tactic isn't used for Sweeney Todd...

[@astrowiz3544]

Margo McCready oh god lmaooo

[@RR-rd3qq]

God I love you Stephen, what a great show.

[@zacheggert7557]

I need this duet to be a complete song. Like...now.

[@linnycrocus6023]

I wish I could harmonize. How do people just do it on the spot like that? It blows my mind.

[@ayushibhanja]

I felt the saaaaaame way like a year ago but if you just keep practicing, eventually you don't even have to think about it it'll come so naturally (I recommend starting with harmonising with the songs you listen to everyday, just whenever you play a song just try to figure out the harmony and sing along and it doesn't matter if you don't get it at first you will eventually xx) good luck :)

[@alexandragrace8164]

it just flows outta you ☺ but it takes practice and vocal training

[@linnycrocus6023]

@@ayushibhanja but like....don't you need to find each note on a piano or do you genuinely just get the feel for it

[@gomezgirl97]

Love hearing when people are from the Chicagoland area!! Represent!

[@RachelleKates]

She’s perfect! 😍

[@jimquantic]

Jessie Mueller.......and Carol King, what a great song, what great songs

[@fionapeterson-quinn885]

This was the worlds most wholesome interview

[@fousies]

She’s the best Carole King, what a talent!

[@NatalieBoat111]

True talent!

[@overthoughtdesigns9938]

I love Jesse so much just her attitude in general and she is so incredibly talented and I also loved her dress and how it seems that she didn't dress a certain way to cater to anyone else's preference except her own

[@mybrainsondrums]

I WANTED TO HEAR THE WHOLE THING, NOOOO...... : (( you're voices are so damned lovely

[@aniimastounian6758]

She is amazing and sweet:)

[@kliedberg]

I love this. I love Jessie!!

[@singenstattatmen5096]

I wish she'd stuck with the upper harmony - that sound was heavenly. Wow.

[@sunshineeee]

You know there's cues when the audience claps 30 seconds later

[@BStop22]

I absolutely love her! She’s so beautiful and very normal. She’s such a normal sized human too. Not ridiculously skinny like some actresses. It’s pretty refreshing. And... “they don’t even have to blow it, it just comes.” She cracked me up!!!

[@gabb05]

hahahahaha " they dont even have to blow it, it just comes" hahahahaha

[@Rosannasfriend]

She's great!

[@stagger5863]

Im normal a heavy metal N classic guy but this where actually pretty beautiful well done Steven and Jessie 👏🏻👍🏻

I remember walking in and just smelling pie omg it was so good 😍

[@zanbon7397]

Are we not going to mention how surprisingly good his voice was?

[@juliez5614]

michael scott is in the audience spazzing "that's what she said"

[@emdowling1905]

Is everyone just going to ignore "you don't even have to blow it, it just comes!"

[@earthmoon236]

They should have sung more!

[@gregparrack842]

When the piano twinkles at 4:53..

[@onjofilms]

Anybody here a fan of my favorite pie 'Shoofly Pie' mmmmm, that molasses.

[@waltermontiel4405]

Does he want to touch it a little more before feeding it to her?

[@tuprey]

This comment made me laugh my ass off I thought the exact same thing lol

[@astrowiz3544]

Gabriel Tzukishiro ugh youre everywhere

[@brentwalker3300]

I really wish Colbert had the time and freedom to do a show a bit more like Graham Norton's. We want more.

[@caligal1090]

not gonna lie, ive heard jessie's rendition of "she used to be mine" at the tonys and i wasn't a fan of her singing voice bc something seemed off about her tone and it sounded like she had some type of accent but im in love with her acting and her personality here which im seeing for the first time here (also, her singing voice is amazing and powerful dont come at me theater nerds)

[@lyannenescro1203]

She had a southern accent and laryngitis during the Tonys performance

[@lukethomas658]

Stephen has the rare talent of being able to flirt without being gross, Jessie is just rare talent, period.
