WE MUST RESPECT HIM

[@giftbabaei9527]

So happy to finally see glenn get the recognition that he deserves, give this man more movies to play!!

[@Transylvaniangimp]

He is a five star man!

[@hiroshikari]

And such a great interview on top of the performance. Oscar inc

[@karenling2106]

blackberry now on digital and bluray

[@ImdaSnackGuy]

The episode of Sunny that Glenn did where he rented the car and struggled with technology the whole thing was spot on with what he is talking about.

[@WillToNihilsm]

They came up with that idea on their podcast lol.

[@wildcard04]

@@WillToNihilsmyeah watching that episode was so cool, bc they did say they might turn it into an episode lol

[@emu_warrior]

It's the implication

[@stevesardi4826]

100% I'm like him too in that aspect and I'm 23😂

[@detailsmove]

exactly what I thought of 😂

[@gregfeasel5874]

Blackberry is a very good movie. Howerton should get an Oscar nomination for the role. He is truly incredible.

[@GregMuniz7]

He really was. Great movie.

[@arshaddahlan]

I know Pedro Pascal is basically confirmed as Reed Richards, but I think Glenn would've also done brilliantly. Loved him in Blackberry, rooting for him to get a Best Supporting Actor nomination!

[@KalvinPatel]

Oh he would’ve been great man

[@emu_warrior]

meh this marvel franchise is trash and overdone now, who cares

[@harfe3o4]

no he needs to be lex luthor!

[@Sharpe1502]

I think there’s rumors of him being Lex Luther. Apparently James Gunn is even following him.

[@22heart]

@@Sharpe1502bald time again

[@dannydevito5729]

A rubbery head?!?! This is a 5 star man!

[@katieb0ness]

Glenn talking about the apps is literally just the last episode of the most recent season of sunny lol

[@Alex-zi1nb]

Blackberry was great. Was fun seeing his hair journey watching him on the always sunny pod lol

[@TheDamagedKoda]

Yeah ok creeper

[@keef5]

I am untethered and my rage knows no bounds

[@Phi1618033]

Glenn's inner Dennis comes out when he talks about tech.

[@kirank287]

True 😂

[@lenawagenfuehr53]

So does anyone's. Tech sucks

[@seanpyne592]

Put this dude in movies already!!!

[@thomasdemoor874]

They did. Did you not watch the clip?

[@Jacob-ir6zi]

That's why he's on the talk show. Say you're stupid without actually saying it

[@MaryDilworth-bc3tc]

​@@Jacob-ir6zi❤ Great 😊🎉❤

[@Roughngreedy]

He seriously deserves an award for the movie. Happy to see him doing more

[@janeltranmer2284]

The movie exceeded my expectations. He is right. The 2 hours flew by. Glenn's performance, though, was fireworks.

[@greens294]

Really hope more people see Blackberry over time, because its a VERY good film! And he's incredible in it. I would be completely overjoyed if he landed himself a nomination, because he most certainly deserves it!

[@cavesandraves5231]

We need to see Glenn and the rest of the sunny cast in more things

[@lynnhubbard844]

MacElhenney has his soccer team with Ryan! It's a great story too

[@Alex-zi1nb]

"You don't like technology"...oh God I thought he was gonna give the story about his tesla getting stuck in a parking garage hahajahaha. Poor glen

[@De7a7D]

Glenn was absolutely fantastic in blackberry.. I didn’t think I would be interested but I was hooked the whole time!

[@tjbishop8467]

He went to Juilliard, he is a Juilliard trained actor.

[@ChipCain]

Actual legend.

[@trailerparkroyalty]

It’s so on brand that Glenn couldn’t leave without at least just a *little* toe dip into a rant about how much he hates technology. 😂

[@movaughn20]

Bring back the Sunny Podcast! I'm a Creep...

[@Pentaholic88]

9:05 Schmitty!

[@JayTheComposer]

I had only known him from his wonderfully snarky character as a teacher on A.P. Bio. Now that I know he was famous way before that I get to discover and enjoy his other works now! 🎉

[@masterrelicrelic6151]

Lucky then

[@toddpinkstonisgod]

There really is so much Glenn in the Dennis Reynolds character, lol. That whole tangent where Glenn is talking about “do we really need an app for EVERYTHING?” was basically Dennis’s entire plot for the season finale of the latest Always Sunny season 😂

[@arlom5132]

He talked on the Always Sunny podcast about how that episode was inspired by a real experience he had renting a electric car.

[@toddpinkstonisgod]

@@arlom5132 lol, yeah I remember that now. He was stuck in parking garage because the key fob for his Tesla broke and the car was too far underground to connect to the Internet, haha

[@gefaehrlich]

​@@arlom5132wasn't that his own car

[@lashendawest7509]

We love Glenn howerton

[@emu_warrior]

I love Glenn, I've watched al of the sunny podcasts and he's being so restrained here lol. he would be swearing his head off if he could

[@shivzzi]

Give Glenn more roles!

[@Sudzbucket]

And this is how Season 16 Episode 8 "Dennis Takes a Mental Health Day" came to fruition lol

[@Sharpe1502]

This is one of my favorite movies of the year. It’s 2 hours long and is so stressful throughout. The very ending is so perfect also. I also love how hockey is such an integral part of the movie.

[@population-_-420]

Dennis lowers his blood pressure 😅 the song at end listen to your heart cant get out of my head

[@MatthewGreenbaum]

I LOVE that Jimmy just name-dropped The Gnome-Mobile

[@zoe6723]

Loved him on AP Bio.

[@bibiijaz6238]

This guy is a national treasure

[@seanmidson]

He would be a very (pardon the pun) FANTASTIC Reed Richards.

[@withershin]

Dennis and Dee Go on Welfare. Just watch it. Kimmel when you retire Glenn is the replacement. He's quick and suspiciously nice.

[@tylerhackner9731]

Love this guy

[@perryleaks4859]

Blackberry is a must watch, whether you’re fan of this guy or not.

[@TheClubOrtiz]

He is coming for that Oscar nomination!

[@TheRealest127]

If any 1 of them ever won an Oscar I would be super happy for them. I been a fan of Always Sunny since season 1! 🏆

[@kevinslack]

the king of rage

[@stephaniemccullough7725]

this is a 5 star man

[@asmrashley7106]

love of my life

[@lordofthereels6790]

I'm amazed the MCU didn't pick him as Reed (who's basically Dennis Reynolds with superpowers). He'd make a great Norman Osbourne too IMO

[@amarghumraable]

This guy helped us all to get off lol

[@mxltivoidz4485]

my man my man my man

[@187nellybelly]

He called a Trichologist, not a Dermatologist!

[@mrjmovie9653]

Dennis Reynolds takes a mental health day has a joke where everywhere he went he had to download an app. He had to download an app to unlock his rental car

[@mardel420]

turned into dennis at 6:18

[@vivianzenari8522]

BlackBerry is actually fantastic. I recommend it

[@Dr_1212]

Dennis 👍

[@gaffyduck7491]

When technology came up Dennis came out a bit 😂

[@Carfeu]

He’s peaking

[@TheRealest127]

He can’t be. The entire city of Philadelphia hasn’t felt anything yet.

[@esean1]

BLACKBERRY's fantastic and Howerton's excellent in it! Highly and wholeheartedly recommended!

[@rohitsel2588]

how this guy didnt even get an oscar nod is just beyond crazy..

[@davidkiernan]

How is Blackberry new? I watched it at home 4 months ago!!!

[@chrissydavis4859]

Not to gloss right over his talent and humor and blah blah but holy f*ck this man could break my back like a glowstick 😳

[@thenerktwins]

New movie? It came out six months ago. That said, it's really good and i recommend it!

[@SeraQuelle]

I think it took a bit to get international traction and attention, director isn’t a big name, Howerton’s probably responsible for a lot of the attention now.

[@shitpostheavy]

Just got a limited series treatment

[@nicolamcguinness8689]

Berry Kroeger talk about whit bissell

[@beobe82]

My grandfather NEVER watched a movie more than once. But would rewatch TV series over & over.

[@Veritas1980-Chill]

I have 3 apps just for my apartment. 1 for the security system, one for the gate and one for communicating with the management. hate it.

[@kirank287]

Dennis is all I can think about every time I see him 😂

[@prathapkutty7407]

Dang he would've made a great lex Luthor.

[@jacobl5488]

he can still do it. i think lex luthor is old no? lol

[@joshxx1]

Now to do the new Lethal weapon

[@nilrubio7040]

That's a five star man right there.

[@josefmanga]

What is Jimmy talking about, some of the other members have been in movies. Danny Davito was a movie star before coming to "Always Sunny." Charlie Day has been in several films.

[@paintMonkey_]

Glenn should be Mr Fantastic.

[@yogo6208]

A 5-star man leading a 4-star team? Ridiculous.

[@toddthechimeralinguist]

Trichology: The study of hair and scalp.

[@kelownatechkid]

dennis!

[@NewMessage]

Where's the friggin' Bird?

[@bridgersmacdonald]

god can’t he wait for the guest to answer the question before asking another one

[@RetroMonger]

haha, had a buddy who shaved his head to be Hitman (Agent 47) for Halloween and it never came back.

[@mariapan3699]

For real? Omg

[@DecimatedSoul]

Lmfao Man's will always be Dennis Reynolds to me😂

[@jdramirez77]

I forgot they were in a movie together... a movie I did watch...

[@stuartcorbin159]

For the last time, I'm a 5 star dad!

[@GIJake-oo9ir]

Charlie day has been a movie star!

[@dww2006]

My first Blackberry gave me tennis elbow because I used my right thumb to type and it exasperated my ADHD. These things probably ruined the world and I’m Canadian.

[@stevesardi4826]

I. Iiiiiiiiii. Dennis Reynolds the psychopathic legend🤣

[@The_Infamous_Boogyman]

"the man has never seen star wars ". Lucky him

[@rainmanjr2007]

I intentionally don't dl apps unless they are absolutely needed for my life, not just a transaction, and I never pay for them. I got a YT sub after years b/c the ads were interfering with my meditations but it's my only one.

[@TheVincentKyle]

Half this interview is the season 16 finale.

[@lowkeyRocketRegime1]

D. E. N. N. I. S 😂

[@jelleverhofstad9711]

Im still rooting for him to play Handsome Jack in a/the Borderlands film. Everyone who played that game should know why.

[@conorhagen1124]

For the love of god cast this man as Reed Richards

[@Sun_Cat_Pop]

Holy crap, I assumed he was guy in gray wig and didnt pay much attm to balc guy until he said I shave my head

[@shiftybat7318]

Glenn shitting on apps justifies my Zune love. Also my siblings laughed at my dad when he shaved his head. Feeling this vibe.

[@chrisbarry9345]

Glenn has a character type, maniac😅

[@jeepdude7359]

I miss my Blackberry phone. 😞

[@VOX_Games]

he got off stage and screamed that Kimmel is a savage and an idiot.

[@Gammarklar]

I too have never seen Star Wars

[@toochangz]

Glenn wearing kapri pants 😆 🤣

[@alhusseinfarah4194]

He’s a five star maaannnn !!!!!!!!!!!!

[@andrewrogers3279]

Accidental fake applause sound at 9:36 ?

[@fleurdelis1227]

i honestly couldn't pick glen out on first seeing the clip because i couldn't imagine him bald - or that dennis would even allow himself to be bald.. of course, once i realized it was him, i couldn't miss him - and he had that GREAT yell about nerds ... WHAT?!?

[@cattothefuture]

But did he take his shirt off in the movie

[@jimtomas]

This was a weirdly hard interview to watch. Idk 🤷🏼‍♂️ anyone else

[@cacacalr]

finally Glenn started to look good again he should put on some weights

[@barry4649]

I realised watching this that this guy does not do much acting when playing Dennis Reynolds, he’s actually like that which is slightly terrifying 😂

[@kirank287]

True 😂

[@booze_walk]

A great car? The 1988 Chevy Nova. Stick Shift

[@rohbro6896]

itd be funny to do a show where Apps cause heaps of headaches through the day.

[@marcmann982]

Glenn needed his credit but Jimmy def shat on the rest of the crew when he said glenn was above the rest and now a movie star. Charlie had been in multiple banger moves over the last 15 years. I guess the horrible bosses movies, fist fight , and super Mario movie didnt exist 😂

[@davidice1]

I had to like this video, because of the implication.
