Jason Bateman on Loving New York, Letterman Calling Him Notoriously Chatty & Knowing Every 80s Star

[@lucindanichols4901]

Jason is so underrated. His entire life has been show biz but he seems very “normal” with a family and a good head on his shoulders. He also gets better looking every day!!

[@Aaron.Thomas]

Definitely underrated. A for looks, well, there's a lot that money can buy.

[@mikeydubbz1]

He’s been sober a long time, that definitely helps

[@Two_But_Not_Two]

I checked the board and Jason actually rates out quite high: 89%.

[@kidnameless]

Him?

[@TC-qw2xg]

Love him. Always have

[@Ray1969.]

Jason Bateman always seems to be such a down to earth good guy. Kudos to his parents for raising him right while being in the spotlight since he was a kid

[@pamgrimm8850]

Where is Justine Bateman? Haven’t seen her in years. Is she still acting?

[@allistar34]

to be fair he went through a very rough patch in his 20s... got sober and now he made a successful comeback

[@Harassed2Much]

He and his sister supported their parents with their acting for years.

[@jimmyjawbone]

Listening to Will Arnett tear into Jason and Sean Hayes on weekly basis has been one of my few joys the last couple years.

[@mariepanimdim4303]

How do I listen to it? I've never done a podcast. I want to do theirs and Michael Cohen's too. I guess I can google it, Der!

[@jimmyjawbone]

@@mariepanimdim4303 I listen to them on Spotify.

[@carolandrews9406]

Agree ! Love Smartless !.

[@SFVone]

@@mariepanimdim4303 If you don't have Spotify, it's free to listen on Amazon music

[@VictoriaKempPhotos]

I keep meaning to listen. Will Arnett has a ruthless sense of humor and then you get Batmans voice too. What a package.

[@GenesisTheory23]

What an incredible, decades-long career. During Dinner for Five, Jon Favreau said to him “The word around town is you’re incredible in the audition room. You come in and you’re so relaxed and you just crush it.” He’s a legend.

[@lizannewhitlow1085]

Jason could not be more adorable.

[@myrnab2022]

He's such a great actor and so nice.

[@patrickmarcellus991]

The great Jason Bateman 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@MartinaMcDonagh]

Always great on Jimmy Kimmel's show, as is Will Arnett.. More like a natural conversation & self-deprecating wit... 🤣🤣🤣

[@pierceaero3005]

He is funny.

[@maybachyard]

Ugh hu hu hu he said Bateman... - Butthead

[@southpawbillings9292]

Jason Greatman

[@000_x9]

Jason Bateman is still super cute after all these years. He is aging well.

[@sandraa3550]

When he genuinely smiles he looks like Robin Williams

[@navyryder]

He is aging well, he is even looking better now, good looking dude! And charming, good sense of humor and suave! He could be the next James Bond!

[@karmencummings9754]

Agreed!!!!

[@tashamiel]

I concur.

[@drive2bfitpersonaltraining9]

His poor sister, she sure didn't age well.

[@christinekiehl4390]

Love All things Jason Bateman!! He is a total riot! Loved him in The Sweetest Thing!! He is an amazing actor! He has the craft down!!!!

[@MP-rv7td]

Jason Bateman will always be a working actor. Watched him as a kid and adult . If I’m lucky, I’ll get to see him taking grandpa roles in the future. He’s aging like fine wine

[@andreahoffmann205]

Jason Bateman such an incredibly talented man

[@loveforeignaccents]

He was good on Silver Spoons.

[@ROOKTABULA]

Really? He's an actor. And like all actors he's paid WAAAAY too much. Nice gut though.

[@jordyvero6725]

can I scream for help? 😵‍💫. No, I hear Ozarks is good. I think I'm gonna give it a try this fall. Did not know about the Little House On The Prairy... who knew that?

[@SwisstedChef2018]

Cool Cat, all the way, awesome actor, both serious than comic. Fantastic.

[@andreahoffmann205]

@@ROOKTABULA have you watched Ozark? He deserves every cent he earned!

[@catybee112]

The work he's had has been sooooooo good. He looks young and refreshed but not done. Fabulous.

[@thunderousapplause]

a little botox, a couple fillers, not much. Harder for men to do without looking obvi. See Tom Cruise puffy face

[@pamgrimm8850]

Well I was thinking when I saw him, is that Jason Bateman? What’s different about him? Then I thought that maybe he dyed his hair darker, lost weight, he just sure looks different.

[@Xx-ib6bf]

Spray / added tan. Handsome man, nonetheless.

[@momasaurus48]

Jason Bateman - one of my favorites. I always look forward to his talk show appearances!

[@nathelondon3719]

Jason Bateman was a consummate actor from a young age. Watch the Hogan family series 6 “the best of friends, the worst of times”. His speech in the last five minutes not only has been crying but I get a pain in the chest and I have seen it twice and I am a grown man not given to displays of emotion.

[@tonnjabraden2080]

How much do you love Jason? Fron Horrible Bosses to Ozark, and Smartless. I adore this man

[@j.a.696]

arrested development?? his most famous role imo

[@pamgrimm8850]

Not my mom! Jason Bateman still seems like a kid to me. But then I am 76. He’s done an amazing job with his acting career. He is too a great talk show guest! This was hysterical

[@stickygreendragon4961]

The Hogan Family is the first thing I think of when I see Jason Bateman. It's amazing how well he was able to implement a come-back after child stardom. Seriously talented and funny guy!

[@kellidinit3725]

I go further back to It’s Your Move. He was just a baby then!

[@Statsy10]

It's all the way back to Silver Spoons for me! It's Your Move was an amazing show, though, and one of the great underrated gems of sitcom history. Bateman said they had to cancel it when parents started complaining that their kids were emulating the same cons and resistance to authority as in the show. 😂

[@jabjab4434]

I've enjoyed these three comments . Perfect line up

[@tylerwirkkala7311]

Derek in silver spoons is the best

[@MrDaltontrumbo]

@@kellidinit3725 haha, Eli! and never forget the Dregs of Humanity.

[@randychampion184]

Jason's face as they came out of the ad was gold!!! Still a boy at heart!! good for him

[@andreas11735]

Absolutely love Jason Bateman. He's awesome. Seems like a great human being.

[@kellidinit3725]

Jason Bateman, in my opinion, is highly underrated.

[@yeahboye]

Eh, he’s great for sure, but I’d say he’s properly rated

[@AndySalinger33]

@@yeahboye exactly. He’s excellent and adequately rated. That person’s comment is the lamest thing to say. Seems I see the “he’s underrated” comment on every video. Boring.

[@chedbrillantes6794]

Jason Bateman had me smiling the whole time while listening to him. He’s so awesome! ❤

[@cmel7841]

I love Smartless and Ozark is an amazing show if you haven't seen it, but even better are the stories when these guys get together. Please don't retire Jason, make a Game Night 2

[@savage_skirt5386]

if they could do it right, i woud love a game night sequel

[@rohitsel2588]

And would I like add arrested development one of the funniest shows, in a light hearted way, ever

[@vincentoconnor5640]

I loved Ozark so much until season 4, they really messed up with season 4.

[@neenaprinu2066]

Always been his fan. My teenage hero infatuation starting from Valerie, I am 43 now and still am infatuated or bewitched by him style, his humour, his extraordinary way of presenting the ordinary. I wouldnt say he is underrated. He classifies a supreme actor who can dabble with comedy and high seriousness. His Ozark proves my point. God bless.

[@giuliogmonti]

Jason Bateman is amazing

[@loveforeignaccents]

He was good in Silver Spoons.

[@carlrosendorf5210]

Loved him in " This is where I leave you"

[@christinadacruz420]

Great guest, seems so down to earth considering spending virtually his whole life as a celebrity.

[@Roy-G-Biv]

The fact that he is stepping on his shoe with his other shoe is such a child like way to sit….love him!

[@cantnv1]

One of the BEST interviews ever

[@deborahwolz1628]

Jason is quite adorable and funny. In some ways he reminds me of Kurt Russell He's definitely got the dimples and charisma.

[@kasondaleigh]

His voice.

[@nellyc1002]

Omg you’re right

[@sshaw4429]

It’s the wholesomeness of him that’s like Kurt Russell.

[@KamInBim]

I've never seen this before. Now I can't unsee it

[@jamesmarie]

One of the best podcast, Smartless. Why? They seem as if they like each other and they actually hang out with one another.

[@danp1471]

This is the first time I'm hearing of it. If someone only had the time to check out an episode or two would you have any recommendations?

[@jamesmarie]

@@danp1471 This is the one podcast I would suggest to anyone who doesn't have time to listen to podcasts. It is a light banter between friends who ragged on each other as one does with their friends.

Jason is such a sweetheart, what an incredible life🌹

[@blessingsoutlaw]

What a lovely, genuine man. 👍

I have literally watched every single movie this guy is in and I was never disappointed

[@louiserose2609]

Love him ❤️ love them both!!

[@kstepko]

That story about ‘The Book’ was hilarious - as was the way young Jason waved it as if to say, “This is great!” I was five years old at the time and assumed those commercials were intended to promote reading.

[@papasmurf1904]

I really love the series Ozark....he is perfect on that show! 😉

[@prophet74]

You can't NOT love Jason Bateman. He's been a class act for as long as I can remember.

[@thomaswschaller]

Smartless is just genius! Love all those guys so much

[@adriennebernardo1877]

Love Jason Bateman!!! Grew up watching him in everything he was in always liked him and definitely underrated as an actor!! After watching Ozark he really can do it all!! Love Ozark!!❤

[@MasterVDrumming]

Anyone notice the butt grab when he walked out😂 they’re too funny

[@MikeBarbre]

Jason Bateman is one of the great talk show guests of his era. It's almost like there's a second career pop culture personalities can have when it comes to the talk show circuit, and Bateman is one of the greats. That zinger when you don't expect it, that ease of humor that you know you can depend on. Whatever "it" is when it comes to putting on a performance as a talk show guest, Jason Bateman's got it. Ryan Reynolds has it, John Krasinski has it. Krasinski's wife Emily Blunt, coincidentally, has it.

[@LisaLGruman]

The attractive couple in “The Book” commercial are Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis, Jr., who have been married for 52 years at least and used to be in the amazing singing group The Fifth Dimension (“Up, Up and Away in my Beautiful Balloon”, etc.) and then came out as a duo themselves and are just awesome.
