Hannah is absolutely fantastic, not many actors could make me hate a character and then in short order not only get me to love her, but cry over her character arc. Ted Lasso is simply a step above most all other shows

[@cocomontresebeast2210]

Omg, have u watched Benidorm, she is hilarious in that show!!!

[@Michelle-fm8dg]

I know!!! And, it happened so seamlessly that I didn't even realize it. At some point, I just thought "wait a minute, I used to hate her!"

[@spateri728]

She's gorgeous too

[@JBond-zf4dj]

I feel the same way about Nate now. We went from loving him to hating him, back to loving him again. Poor little fella.

[@akee0623]

Here's the thing. This woman is BRILLIANT. She has a quick wit, ten-cent words for days, and an infectious joie de vivre. Hannah Waddingham FTW!

[@michaelscot4816]

¡Bien dicho!

[@marctyrell9764]

There is just something about this woman. She draws you in. She is gorgeous, funny and talented. I hope she gets more and more attention over the years cuz she deserves it all plus she has paid her dues

[@michellemosqueda7853]

Even when not playing Rebecca, that woman is truly an ice cream sundae. With several cherries on top! She’s the whole package. And makes me very excited for my 40s!!

[@elisahinojosa2330]

She radiates kindness and warmness. I LOVE HER SO MUCH!

[@eduardoarmenta9232]

She's an explosion of joy. I love her

[@lkleeberg]

I love her ! She is really delightful with her effervescent personality, funny, gorgeous , super talented. Ted lasso is genius. I love that she’s not a size 2 in her 20s but in her forties and a fit statuesque queen. Please more seasons .

[@shaju9229]

I love the way she talks to the audience...theatre pro there. Gorgeous woman, I'm obsessed...

[@luciamiller1555]

The world needs more Ted Lasso,best series during this pandemic. Had serious withdrawals after season 2. Can’t wait for season 3. Hope it doesn’t end there!

[@joshoshea3194]

I'm English and I can honestly say that Ted Lasso definitely rubbed off on me. I genuinely can't wait for season 3 ❤🇬🇧⚽️

[@sratus]

I hope he at least took you for dinner.

[@PAVEL-JAKL]

Hannah is a gorgeous woman..😍🥰

[@morganangel340]

look like younger sister of Gwen Stefani

[@mariellas7369]

Can Rupaul please have a talkshow already? Celebs are so charmed and comfortable with him

[@sueb1337]

My jaw drops every time I see her.. just gorgeously 🔥

[@blackironkatana]

Hannah is plainly just awesome. But also I would love to see RuPaul have his own late night talk show.

[@CBAKER637]

Hannah is such a breath of fresh air. Love her!

[@catalhuyuk7]

Ru Paul certainly knows how to interview and bring the best out in people. Hannah is a strong leader and amazing in so many ways!

[@sweeney60]

Hannah and Rue are a perfect team! Have them host the Emmys!

[@spnjunkie23]

What I love so much about her is that she always looks around and includes the audience. And that she’s super talented and gorgeous doesn’t hurt either 😁 Love her and can’t wait for the final season of Ted Lasso. I know I’m gonna cry buckets of tears.

[@linderama6591]

Hannah Waddingham… you are one if the most authentic, beautiful souls in the entertainment biz. Thank you for being you. Appreciate you and your bright spirit so much! 💖

[@AlerieHightower]

That laugh at 7:08 gave me life. She is so perfect.

[@Ernie1978]

Hannah and Juno's friendship is ace! Rick Astley is a bloody legend!!!

[@grubster13]

This woman is perfection I think

[@TheLettybird]

She is perfection.

[@pamelarw58]

Hannah is simply gorgeous in every way, beautiful & a genuine person! Definitely an accomplished actor from the 1st scene in Ted Lasso her character draws you in! 💜

[@LisaLGruman]

She was such a refreshing interview.

[@futrpdr]

I can never get enough of some Hannah Waddingham! She's super talented, sexy, curvy, beautiful, and seems like a fun person to hang out with.

[@poutmaster]

She is STUNNING!

[@NinaC]

One of my favorite people ever! Love her so much glad she is having the success!

[@thelawofdivineoneness458]

If you watch Ted Lasso.....you will absolutely fall in love with Hannah Waddingham. She steals every scene she is in. What a tall drink of water she is!

[@michaelcbyers]

Man. RuPaul needs to have their own talk show or interview show. They're great at it.

[@rugby3431]

HE DID HAVE HIS OWN TALK SHOW, FUN SECRET.

[@michaelcbyers]

@@rugby3431 Oh really. Well he should have another. I guess he's busy enough with Drag Race.

[@CamMcGinn1981]

15 minutes of these two amazing humans talking to each other is nowhere near enough. The fun they're having just oozes. I seriously hope that Season 3 isn't the end for Ted Lasso. I'm totally living for Colin's storyline

[@NinaC]

This is a classic example of two charismatic people. Wow

[@sandybear61]

Hannah is a goddess! What an awesome and fun interview -- love these two together!

[@DrDespicable]

I *love* Hannah Waddingham - brilliantly talented, and utterly gorgeous!

[@juliafay7661]

[@rikiroos3100]

What a delightful interview!

[@steverz91]

I'm glad they found a way to work her singing into Ted Lasso

[@tanyam5471]

Hannah is a beautiful woman. So bright and talanted. BTW Antony Head is well known all over the world as Giles from Buffy.

[@Eyagsf]

Hannah’s radiant smile is so contagious

[@davidbuchan3753]

Brilliant energy from both!

[@allankinyua2537]

Hannah Waddingham is beautiful at 48 and damn that figure-hugging dress sure looks good on her

[@hasanzahid6131]

God, she is so Beautiful!!!! Like a Greek Goddess

[@jake27990]

Rumor has it she’s been cast as Jennifer Kale in the MCU and will star alongside Catherine O’Hara, Amy Poehler, and Kathryn Hahn in Coven of Chaos. What a line-up.

[@EricaGamet]

Anthony Head is well known here in the US for Buffy... I don't even watch Buffy and I know that. I just see the headmaster from his episode of Doctor Who! He's awesome... and Hannah is amazing and I want to just hang out with her for a day... though my face would hurt from smiling all day!

[@suereu3109]

I got to see her in Spamalot on Broadway. Fabulous!

[@Keith-cl3th]

Man she’s fabulous. 😍

[@michaeltn1412]

She's so fun to watch!!!

[@Belfastboi]

So relaxed and enjoying her success it’s lovely to see

[@mindy56374]

Two of my faves together!! (Glad Kimmel was away for this!) Can't wait to see Hannah on Drag Race UK!!

[@GrantGelinasBrown]

One word can describe Hannah.....effervescent.

[@brucecoleman4228]

Can we get Hannah and Olivia Coleman into something together SOON? K Thanks!

[@Belfastboi]

Good call same teeth they could play sisters!!

[@diazjr1975]

OMG YES!

[@magedabuldahab7481]

It will be a tragedy of Macbeth, Coleman will be the lady Macbeth & Waddingham will be the witches with Francis Macdormand & Vera Formiga, Macbeth will be Wellem Dafoe

[@justaj2k]

I love Hannah so much. Brilliant actor and singer…. Like her I hope TL goes on for several more seasons!

[@isaberabera_]

I need more of these two together

[@mroosie7488]

She has a very endearing personality

[@susanstorm7910]

Hannah as Emma Frost would be my dream fancast! She’s my favorite and is deserving of that love

[@BridgetEileen]

Side note: love this dress. She resembles Statue of Liberty.

[@sharonfieldstone]

She's so gorgeous ugh

[@dcny69]

RuPaul has one of the best personalities ever, he’s fun, very smart and just lovely. He’s a perfect example of being exactly as you are. So parents, let your children be as they are. Maybe not what you want them to be but as they are. Your authenticity is a gift.

[@maddiloven5483]

dont give me hope like that hannah!! ive been so sad about the news of it ending

[@kathrinmunro1105]

Love her and RuPaul is so great at interviewing!

[@LisaLGruman]

That Rick Astley appearance was really special.

[@benavidesruiz]

How refreshing is an artist like her. She is not a ‘freezing’ celebrity with nothing but just good press. She is a great artist with a great career, real talent and brilliant. And she is soooooo funny!

[@NewMessage]

When I hear the word 'Dominatrix', I see her in my head. She just looks perfect for it.

[@morganangel340]

Shame ! Shame ! Shame !

[@lisas5211]

I love this woman!!!! She cracked me up so much in Ted Lasso. Gorgeous talented.

[@classicalaid1]

Hannah reminds me of Honor Blackman, if they ever reprise the James Bond film Goldfinger. She played Sean Connery's squeeze, Pussy Galore.

[@darrellfisher6307]

She is so Lovable!

[@ec9121]

She deserves everything!!! 👏

[@decibellone696]

who camt love how much fun Hannah is having.

Ugh!!!!! I LOVE RUPAUL. Drag Race is one of my favorite shows!! I’ve learned SOOOO MUCH lol.

[@andreihiris6670]

[@anastasiabeaverhausen8220]

I'd forgotten Tony Head did those damned coffee commercials. Meanwhile...he's been in everything on brit tv and notably was a star of "Buffy" (the vampire slayer) on U.S. tv.

[@biatch1966]

Hannah is so wonderful and a breath of fresh air! She has a fantastic voice. Ted Lasso is terrific & I will be sad if they only do season 3 and that’s it. ❤️from 🇨🇦Vancouver

[@skiptickle7174]

Pure joy

[@Yourfriendgaya]

I need an album from her

[@MajeAdams17]

Ugh, she is TOO fine, what a goddess

[@veeralpatel2802]

Talented, funny, & what a crazy beautiful woman

8:56 Anthony Head, part of the Taster's Choice couple from the instant coffee commercials in the U.S.

[@grubster13]

Uhhh, Buffy the Vampire Slayer? It’s Giles you heathens lol

[@RaymondHng]

@@grubster13 _Buffy_ came after the Taster's Choice ad spots.

[@pg1367]

Series Idea: She loses her husband and all her money, RuPaul loses a really good job THEY become roommates at an older age and have to navigate the big city together in this new life chapter♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️😍😍😍

[@bryanluntz1603]

Nice to meet you Hannah Very Pretty Congratulations on your nomination

Oh my Gosh. That is an ENTRANCE!

[@adamparker1354]

Ummm...not Ru saying Americans recognize Anthony Stewart Head from coffee commercials LOL... ever heard of Buffy the Vampire Slayer??

[@robbyten100]

Yeah I understand Buffy ended in 2003 but I'm sure most people recognize him from that. I'm not sure I've seen those coffee commercials.

[@Ckearney88]

The heavies are perfect on this one

[@susanthompson6812]

I love her. She's so different than the typical mactor. Just amazing, sexy, energetic, positive.
