Rob loves Kaitlin just as much as Mac hates Dee and I think that's beautiful

[@NK-bz9wb]

eeeh Goals, I guess?

[@moistgoat8170]

This really is a perfect way to describe it

[@louisanelson7948]

They do say there’s a thin line between love and hate.

[@MasterpieceTheatreDM]

lmao so apt & profound

[@wildcard04]

I still think it’s a crime that It’s Always Sunny still hasn’t been nominated for an Emmy smh

[@fademusic1980]

You know why it hasn't? Because its FUNNY, that's why!

[@tipsyt1909]

Because clearly Big Bang Theory was just better written and performed /s

[@aubrey1633]

It's insane. That show is hilarious.

[@velvetstarlings]

Better than all the shows period

[@AthenaTheSlayer]

Those type of awards are decided on by a bunch of jabronis. That's why

[@spencerrose4904]

The way Rob kept his composure while interviewing the ostrich without it's handler is inspirational

[@themarlboromandalorian]

Oy. I'd go snuffleupagus on that big bird. And so would many. Funny ladies are the best.

[@dylanmanov5229]

Bird.

[@joshyaash]

SHUTUP BIRD!

Can I offer you a egg in these trying times

He is the handler he's the the birdmaster

[@kathleenuclear]

get you someone who talks about you the way rob talks about kaitlin! after all these years they're still one of my absolute favorite couples in hollywood.

[@wscottposten]

A little applause would’ve been nice for dude, his complement and support for her was genuine! The man laid it out in the open in front of millions! I’m happy for them.

[@candideggplant1575]

yeah but kaitlin probably isnt cheating on him, is probably cool person and doesnt act like she is better than him. we dont know their personal business but come on, you cant expect this kind of relationship if you arent that kind of person to begin with.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

She's a ball-buster.

[@Foreskinflavourednuts]

Fr. Goals

[@danshotguns4226]

The way he laughs at her it's like she's the funniest person on the planet.

[@teelakovacs208]

I love that they could've had some funny bit prepared for the segment but Rob just boosted Caitlin and told the world how much he loved her. Marriage IS hard, but they were just silly, sweet and sincere. Love it.

[@SmellyBodega]

THIS WAS THE BIT

[@EricRipperOfficial]

Kaitlin*

[@shawnphillips1612]

We don't deserve this power couple and I'm so happy they found each other.

[@theiaraine]

@mynameis7702 Now Dennis I’ve heard that speed has something to do with it

[@BlackAesop]

There something about loving the terrible characters they play on Always Sunny in Philadelphia, yet seeing them be so down to earth on the big stage. Rob seriously killed his guest hosting gig!

[@callumfriend2523]

Amazing comment! Will probably go over most peoples heads!

[@1axe2grynd]

we need more husbands and wives publicly letting everyone know how special and dear they are to each other. Rob and Kaitlin are just so good on the show and when they branch out into other shows they shine like diamonds!

[@itsmebrittney-b]

I feel like I’m the only one that’s shocked because these seem like wholesome people but when they are on a show or in a movie I’m completely disgusted by them. Good acting. Keep that up

[@darksalmon]

Can't get enough of Kaitlin. She's the best funny gal on TV.

[@JNMKlover]

She plays drunk aunt hot mess very well. Since she isn't like that IRL, she's a great actress. So cute too

[@GZP1023]

She is fantastic. Will go down as one of the best ever.

[@siberianTiger639]

She's a bird though, stop pretending she's a person

[@darksalmon]

@@JNMKlover Kaitlin and Marie Elizabeth (the waitress) are THE BEST at drunk acting. I could watch them both be fake drunk for whole episodes.

[@darksalmon]

@@siberianTiger639 if she's a bird, then she needs to win an Oscar for her portrayal of a human-like bird.

[@alwayslissy]

“you’re so cute!” “thank you!” THEY’RE SO 🥺🥺🥺

[@nyc_chelsea3761]

Everyone from its always sunny is just a gem of a person… so much talent and they never fail to make the audience laugh.

[@DougWolfe]

Man that was so sweet to watch. Actually, sincerely brought tears to my eyes.

[@putrii4450]

Oh thank god im not the only person!!

Yeah, I almost cried too. 😭💓

Yes!!!!! They’re so adorable!!!!

[@kayla7562]

He has to feel like the luckiest man in the world. That woman is a masterpiece inside and out.

[@clownnookie]

They absolutely should have won an Emmy for the episode where Mac comes out to his dad. Chokes me up every time...

[@ryansizemore5064]

Charlie's scene with his dad. Also the vomiting blood without prior explanation bit.

[@clownnookie]

@@ryansizemore5064 Definitely when they were in Ireland and Charlie was left alone to throw his father's corpse over that cliff, only to be surprised when the Gang came to his rescue.

[@C0URTNEYYYYYYYY_______________]

The dance in that episode is criminally underrated

[@hugh_jasso]

The way Rob was authentically enjoying the clip and interviewing his wife was sweet.

[@plz1277]

“The Mick” was a GREAT show that should never have been canceled! Love you Kate!

[@HUSHMONEYBAND]

She’s my favorite comedic actress of all time

When she came running out of the shoe store head first into the car I knew she was something special.

[@coma13794]

What a perfect balance of roasting and affection! They are amazing together.

[@jcnunny]

The Mick was the greatest show I've seen in forever. I can't believe it was cancelled. Kaitlin is indeed a comic sniper as RR put it.

[@JNMKlover]

LOVED THAT SHOW!

[@youhaventwashedmytings]

I feel the same about AP Bio with Glenn Howerton- I would never want IASIP cancelled but by god that show was underrated!

[@colinmichael520]

This looks so staged.

[@jcnunny]

@@colinmichael520 it's not.

[@jurga_jo]

These two are awesome - actors and humanbeings! It's a pure joy to watch. So down to earth and funny. Should host the show together, really. Sending you lots of love!

[@azhari7968]

the audience isn't used to their humor! This would be so much funnier if this conversation was on Sunny podcast

[@chriscox5831]

Yeah, in general the audience was not as engaged as they should’ve been. Maybe it played better over the screen than it did live, but I doubt it. Now I hate this audience and hope they never attend a TV taping again.

[@dr.wolfstar1765]

Exactly it wouldn't feel forced. This is exactly what I was thinking

[@DragonTVSJC]

One of the own "celebrity couples" worth paying attention to. Both fantastic and bring out great things in each other! Always Sunny!

[@mandachris7146]

These 2 as well as Ashton Kutcher and Mika Kunis. Both couples are just absolutely amazing.

[@hankdatank09]

This was an awesome segment. Dam, they're so good in Sunny that they make you forget that they're married. Such a wonderful couple.

[@bearr62]

The way Rob looks at Kaitlin throughout the entire interview melts my heart.

[@annemargaret8745]

"Are you gonna propose? What's happening?!" "We're already married!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@glenn6583]

Kaitlin is great! I especially admire her physical comedy. She deserves an Emmy! Go Kate!

[@cosmicstardust8419]

I love them both so much! They're so good together and such amazing actors.

[@AlexFarleyMusic]

Rob's gonna win an Emmy for his run guest hosting Kimmel.

[@joliearmstrong8864]

Sunny is literally the longest running comedy series on TV and still hasn't had aan Emmy nom? Insane...

[@chrism8860]

They have had some super intelligent episodes too. Smart show about stupid people, at times at least!

[@PepsiMaGs]

Never heard of that show before I saw Welcome to Wrexham.

[@lowe-quay-shush]

They SHOULD both keep talking about winning (or at least getting nominated) for Emmy's and 'It's Always Sunny...' whenever they get a chance. The squeeky wheel.....

[@mikelambert468]

I was waiting for him to yell “you god damn bird!”. This was probably the exact opposite of that

They’re so in love in real life yet Mac is by far the meanest to Dee on It’s Always Sunny

"Oh no I would never marry you " "Dee I would rather get shot in the face"

She’s one of the most hilarious women I’ve ever seen. Kaitlin is just incredible.

[@gordonhotchkiss6426]

Rob and Ryan are doing amazing work at Wrexham FC. I mean more improvements have been to the ground since they took charge than in the last 10 years before. Also Wrexham's Kop stand is finally being rebuilt after being closed for about 20 years.

[@carina9295]

Now to set up a friendly with AFC Richmond

What is their connection to Wales?

"Think I'll buy me a football team..." --- Pink Floyd, "Money" The hubris of the ultra rich: these aren't heroes; these are elites taking advantage of the town and its people (maybe, *maybe* if they took no profit and reinvested all of the earnings back into the community they'd start to have some justification here). And it is just a game: false heroism is socially and politically destructive, as is this elitist "saviorism".

I think Kaitlin should host ķimmel show sometime in the future 😊

And kaitlin, SHE LOOKS AMAZING!!!!

[@raynegro666]

[@joshhanson6538]

His neck is high, makes me trust him

[@nicholashale7216]

Agreed! It's got to be a good release valve for sure. You can take out stress on each other in a "healthy way" in the show given the character arcs toward each other and leave it at the door when you go home. That being said it's clearly not something that could work for all people who are around each other all day at work and then at home.

[@StrangeFractaLS4]

Shut up, bird. 😉 I love these two :) I really liked how they tried to reduce waste with the way they planned their wedding. I remember taking notes years ago for my own wedding some day ❤️
