I feel like John either only has one suit jacket or has many suit jackets that are all the same style and color, but I also feel like either one is 100% okay because it is John Green.

[@sankernarayanan4638]

That's just like Obama. Thanks Obama!

[@griffiansword373]

He only has the one.

[@dandilollo]

Or like Peewee Herman?

[@cel2460]

[@JBear87]

When he asked if John's anxiety manifests in weird ways, I just kept thinking "Puff levels are high!"

[@rosearanmen5044]

please...just....no......

[@a12i9]

it also fits to him being a Hufflepuff! a Hufflepuff with occasionally high puff levels 🖖

[@paolomr]

"we're excellent finders" Yes, John, yes! AVPM-reference.

[@ericabourland1012]

The whole time I was watching this, I could feel John's anxiety, and it was making me feel anxious. Also, I am happy to FIND out he's a hufflepuff, as I am as well :) Also, it was slightly awkward when he said OCD and you see John's face just like 😐 freeze.

[@belamielczarski4199]

Erica Bourland It's weird to discover so much about a "celebrity" like john when they are in their own comfortable media, and then seeing them in the popular media. We can just read between the lines and it's almost like we have actually met them, which, at least when it comes to me, is not the case

[@belamielczarski4199]

Acid Burn he sure did great, it was a very delicate situation he was put in when craig mentioned OCD and I just think he turned the conversation in a different direction very smoothly

[@the_mad.s_hatter]

I know. He steered clear of that conversation pretty smoothly.

[@harrypotteravenclaw]

Totally, and his next book ended up being all about that

[@ASoupNamedStew]

His face when he says "we're excellent finders." That's the face of a man who is proud of his reference.

[@aim6708]

"They are good finders" HE MADE A STARKID A VERY POTTER MUSICAL REFERENCE"

[@zoravursingh5617]

5:29 the moment john gets a little too nerdy for craig xD

[@gurkfisk89]

Zoravur Singh I like his giggling after the joke flew over Craigs head.

[@FreakGuitar01]

I think Craig got it, he just didn't laugh 'cause it's not his job io laugh, it's his job to make people laugh.

[@finnickweasley22]

I love how he subliminally slipped in a starkid reference because Joe Moses was in the audience

[@chrisa9990]

It was totally awesome!

[@Haleyessie]

What the hell is a hufflepuff

[@sarahkinsey5434]

Wait Moses was in the audience!?

[@user-es7ui5mc1m]

@@sarahkinsey5434 2 years later but he tweeted about it at the time (why do i remember this lmao)

[@TheRavenfish9]

Watching this interview after 'Turtles All The Way Down' gives whole new understanding of what it must have been like for John in that moment. I'm sorry John! That must have been uncomfortable. You're awesome though and thanks for bringing awareness and lessening stigma about mental illness and anxiety disorders.

[@ashtaylor4107]

"Hufflepuffs are particularly good finders!"

[@madeleinereads]

go, Team Starkid!

[@AllonsyRapunzel]

What the hell is a Hufflepuff?

[@nadiact-ie5hy]

I really want John to be on more talk/interview shows. (c'mon Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert)

[@Nclux]

ITS HAPPENING

[@danr.5017]

I want to see John Green do Q with Jian Ghomeshi. The show is produced by the CBC and way under recognized. Next time John ever comes to Toronto he has to go on.

[@nadiact-ie5hy]

Nathan Luxemburger Yeah, dreams DO come true! :)

[@bballercheetahfan3]

he was on colbert

[@krim7]

He was on Colbert but John was... Much more nervous.

[@kaciepimentel4063]

When John Green walked on it felt like I was seeing my uncle or friend walk on the show. Geez, I haven't even met him yet and he feels like my relative haha.

[@katie.larson96]

I love how the "excellent finders" joke went right over Craig's head while we're all sitting here laughing our asses off because John Green just referenced AVPM on national television.

[@MissLilyputt]

I love how easily a conversation about a book can be derailed by an abscess and then change topic to Harry Potter. I wish this interview had been longer.

[@agreenpar]

Am I the only one who caught John's Starkid reference! Mr.Green, you are so amazing in so many ways!!!

[@remusdawley7173]

Patton!!

[@harpdevil]

I'm so proud of John, someone who is profoundly anxious around large groups of people, to be so calm and confident on national TV! He did an amazing job!

[@WaaDoku]

Gosh, they have such good chemistry together. Please more of this!!

[@HeroOfTheSidewalk]

John Green and Craig Ferguson are two of my favourite people... I think I can die happy now

[@kittycat7471]

John didn't keep his promise about the author photo :p

[@laurenbrittany4321]

who else understood the avpm reference?

[@Haleyessie]

Lauren Brittany I DO. I saw this on pinterest. Joe moses was in the audience

[@user-ii9xr8sh8e]

I basicaly squeeked!

[@SweetIndiaGirl]

I FOUND it to be quite supermegafoxyawesomehot!

[@courtxthexcutie]

okay, so knowing that John's a fan, shouldn't Team StarKid Parody his novels into a musical? They are clearly such a laugh riot!

[@rohwynn]

Lauren Brittany I didn't FIND this surprising at all!

[@JDubbsTheatre]

I love how, with all the things Hank's done, this audience's knowledge of him is "Wizard Rocker."

[@oliviadeveau4224]

That starkid reference... I FOUND that amazing

[@geekgod420]

John Green and Craig Ferguson awesome!

[@MikaylaaMadisonn]

I love them both so much. TOO MUCH AWESOME IN ONE ROOM. HEAD WILL EXPLODE.

[@lemonlime218]

We're excellent finders! Ohmygod I love you even more John!

[@ExploreLearnEnglishWithGeorge]

I'm quite a fan of both these guys and this episode has somehow managed to slip my attention for over 7 years, wowzza

[@elleoaten9388]

John Green made a AVPM reference :D half expected Ferguson to say "what the heck is a hufflepuff"

[@i_think_i_am_lost]

John Green is literally perfection

[@camila3056]

Why hasn't Ellen interviewed john??!?!

[@leighhauserman9549]

That would be the funniest interview ever

[@hambonefakenamington69]

yes WHY

[@laurenronstadt6688]

HUFFLEPUFF POWER

[@americanslime]

God, this show was amazing. It's amazing that it lasted as long as it did. Feels like something this good should have gotten cancelled.

[@Annaie1234]

This is my favourite john green interview

[@RuaranicusPond]

Love the casual AVPM reference... shame nobody FOUND it very funny

[@mayjallad6905]

The 'haha mmm' described me during the entire book

[@Balsklad767]

I'm a huge fan of both Craig Ferguson & John Green! When I turned on my tv to watch Craig and he was holding that book and John came in I was screaming for joy!

[@clairegapsis4871]

They are such dorks and I love them both dearly.

[@LukeHDGamer]

Craig ferguson - pretty much the best late night show host there is

[@ishouldhavetried]

You know until Colbert takes over for Letterman...

[@Mitche23]

That One Lady Ferguson is retiring too. I think next year.

[@ishouldhavetried]

WTF?! no!!

[@JamieLeanne2]

That One Lady Craig Ferguson's last show is this December.

[@sirnate9065]

+KemoFIFAHD Try 4th best

[@genagarcia5225]

Knowing that John made avpm reference makes me very happy, I'm surprised I haven't seen this before

[@gurkfisk89]

Gena Garcia Well, I don't find that surprising at all.

[@kay290797]

John Green, love ya!

[@katiesimpson7982]

Yay! John Green is a Starkid fan!

[@IMustBeEmo27]

I love how you can see how uncomfortable John really is.

[@amesinspace]

John Green! you're so smooth here, I barely recognized you.

[@ishouldhavetried]

I fucking love John!

[@NinjaCerdo]

The AVPM reference!!!

[@rosearanmen5044]

Badgers can take on wolves and bears and if you read POTTERMORE you know one of the best ministers of magic was a Hufflepuff and the person who created Hogsmaede was a hufflepuff so next time you insult Hufflepuff remember this

[@saaargummm1868]

GO HUFFLEPUFF!!!!

[@saaargummm1868]

I'm done with people saying that Hufflepuff is the worst house.

[@hermannn5682]

Gryffindor is the worst house FIGHT ME.

[@emmaalli211]

"we're excellent finders"

[@AntlersAreCool]

Thank you for uploading! So excited to see this.

[@buyog2099]

John SO deserves this kind of attention. He's awesome, and TFiOS was profoundly moving. Good for him!

[@vincentt7780]

This is so awesome... I've always been a HUGE fan of Craig and when this episode aired in 2013 the only thing I would ever watch on youtube was the occasional cat video, and I remember thinking at the time "Some teen book author? Meh, I'd rather see someone I actually might know on the late late show, this is kinda boring" And now after spending the last 6 months watching all of CrashCourse, and BrainScoop, and SciShow and every single vlogBrothers video up to the one where Hank mentions that John was on the late late show, and starting to read some of John's Books this clip is made of so much awesome that I cannot even believe I felt so bored when i originally saw it. It makes me wonder if someone else is starting their own journey towards becoming a Nerdfighter RIGHT NOW... Maybe even someone reading this very comment.

[@juliasutter6996]

DFTBA

[@lucyscott2070]

This was more of a advertisement for all things Harry Potter rather than anything to do with TFIOS!

[@womacks8675309]

I hate I missed this, so glad you have it here. Thank you

[@serialcomplexity]

This was so cool to see, tons of fun, thanks so much for posting it.

[@JesseColton]

Did NO ONE catch the Very Potter Musical reference? John said Hufflepuff's are excellent finders.

[@Massiveskinsfan93]

he is so sweet! He seems like a genuinely lovely person. I'd love to meet him :)

[@Lisallamaa]

Oh I love you John!!! I was beaming the whole time while watching this.He deserves all the love and spotlight he will ever get!

[@GreatPurpleOctopus]

Two of my favorite people

[@kira12n]

i don't think a lot of people in the audience understood the very potter musical reference

[@ashtuatara]

Aparently Joe Moses was there...

[@samogryl]

They never mentioned anything about the book...(shrugs)

[@TheBirmanator]

Welcome to the Late Late Show

[@GuitarGuy190]

That's Craig Ferguson for you.

[@DanishNerdess]

The reason Craig hadn't read the book was because the guest that was supposed to be on cancelled and John had to fly in last minute.

[@GuitarGuy190]

***** No. Craig wouldn't have read it anyway. Even when someone from a TV show comes on that has passed like multiple seasons, he outright tells them that he hasnt seen the show. (well except Dr Who, which he loves). He doesn't care. He won't talk about the book extensively nor will he read it. That's why his interviews are radically different than other talk shows.

[@TrueColors05]

Guitar Guy So pretty much he's the anti-Jon Stewart, who reads/watches EVERYTHING from what I've heard.

[@SmileyFacesUnite]

Thank you!

[@thesecretreader]

I just spent my afternoon crying over this book. Such a beautiful story.

[@yenee94]

HUFFLEPUFF AND PROUD OF IT

[@Operettenbitch]

I just came here for the StarKid reference okay bye.

[@Swameh]

I must have watched this a couple gazillion times. My two faves from different media, merging.

[@imhellag]

Craig pwned John with the 3000 (pairs) of eyes LOL

[@nicoleherondale3481]

He's a famous novelist.

[@valerie8841]

Literally made my entire day!

[@dubwheeler1733]

so awesome!!!

[@poisonedfrog]

"And we're excellent finders..." XD

[@olamishamigoscollins8406]

I just referenced this in my university essay... life is good :'D

[@Shannedo]

Just as adorable and awesome as always and I love how he's not letting any of this awesome fame go to his head. I feel like a proud mum, getting to watch Hank and John do so well!

[@danielclaro6049]

My two heroes in one clip. Awesome!

[@ArchdukeVN]

I'm a Hufflepuff, and boy I am ever so much more proud.

[@sydney327]

Starkid reference!

[@sarikasabnis2369]

WHAT! That is so awesome!!

[@WhodHaveThunkIt]

Excellant! Two of my favourite people meet at last!

[@nikkyjay4342]

Okay, so this guy makes an AVPM reference and no one in the studio notices?

[@sarahmccullough7056]

Joe Moses was in the audience

[@DemiDragonQueen]

John lied, his new author photo isn't even close to "front and center". smh.

[@cait239]

This was amazing! Love Craig and John :)

[@earthgirlemily]

EXCELLENT FINDERS. YOU GO, JOHN.

[@Princessbcl]

OH MY GOSH HE WATCHED AVPM

[@mckaylabenson6233]

THE STARKID REFERENCE GAME IS STRONG GREEN!!!!

[@kazfreedman9964]

As soon as John gets asked to sign the books he’s like now this I know how to do. Not that he isn’t great for the whole interview he just looks so comfortable signing and you see with the second book he seems eager to sign it almost

[@catherinelikespink]

Two of my favorite people in the world! This is awesome! :)

[@BurningTaco7101]

I'm a Pottermore branded Slytherin, but an everything else branded Hufflepuff.

[@krim7]

Me too!!!

[@iisnotokay1604]

Comments 75% Did they get the Very Potter Musical reference? 20% IM HUFFLEPUFF AND IM PROUD 5% oooooh OCD aaaaaaahhhhh

[@violetsarntblue]

[@guinevere5300]

John Green is in the same house as me!!! Hufflepuff FTW!

[@fosterhager290]

[@kaikahitonari]

[@ctyoung16]

[@ZabavaThePower]

O the internet jokes that nobody in the studio gets!!

[@madragna71]

Brilliant!!

[@MJFinamerica]

This video combines two of my favorite people. John Green... and Geoff.

[@cycletrip]

AVPM reference... I enjoyed Psycho reverence more! :)

[@Padozzie]

hahaha no one got the avpm reference...

[@piseuncharco]

I am SO glad for social media and new ways in which we consume information because if it weren't for the fact that there is always readily available information to be read, I would have gotten used to just watching stuff; which is not 'less than' but it's only one of the available options.

[@MrJamhamm]

Two of my role models crossing paths
