John Krasinski Takes The Colbert Questionert

[@conancat]

John is like a golden retriever in human form

[@Aaackermann]

Perfect description! :-D

[@davee.9906]

Damn that's spot on. No pun intended.

[@kpcart]

Not sure if that is good or bad. I wanna see a Pomerania in human form

[@missmiou6273]

OMG great comment, so true

[@Thundersnowy]

Nailed it. But he's one of those that is not quite the right golden color, so you know he's a bit mixed breed somewhere in his line, but you'll never know which breed.

[@4uanC]

Colbert and Krasinski.

[@justinbeechey232]

Just like ellen?

[@JCTiggs1]

@@justinbeechey232..is a fan of Ellen. Relevance to this interview?

[@BongoTheClown]

@@JCTiggs1 I think the relevance is that it's recently come out that Ellen is a major B-word when the cameras are off and the spotlight is not on. The point is that the person people are on camera and the person they are in private, when they think no one is watching, or no one that matters is watching, can be quite different.

[@imab125]

I had a perma-smile throughout this entire interview. John Krasinski is a national treasure. 😊

John is definitely up their with Keanu Reeves as the most likable people in Hollywood!

[@Freakazoid12345]

The guy who had to have his friend pay women to pretend to like him and played a character that bullies people with autism. Yeah, I can't see why a person wouldn't like him.

[@henrytuttle]

I hope Colbert keeps this format. SO MUCH better than the old studio formula. Colbert is a lot more irreverent. Makes inside jokes. Even the interview was more personable and awesome.

[@ChrisAlbertH47]

If the guest isn't the responsive or personable kind though, it could be torture. Both to Stephen and viewers. I don't think this would work with just anybody.

[@T_P_W_ThachoZenjuan]

@Henry Tuttle Agreed. @Chris Albert, true, but this format is great. So, only the most genuine people or greatest fakers.

[@DooodOfLife]

@Chris Albert I half agree with you. It's true, this format probably won't work with everybody. The guest has to have that openness, and that charm about them. You also said "if the guest isn't responsive or personable", but I feel like it's not going to be any better with a studio audience.

[@moonrazk]

Did you miss all the 372 times he talked about going back to the theater? I love this format too, but I doubt it'll last another month.

[@henrytuttle]

@@ChrisAlbertH47 I don't know. Craig Fergusen did a great job with a similar set. Bigger audience, but similar one on one vibe.

[@draceenasilverdragon7682]

Now THATS a man hug! 🤗

[@karthiksubramanian2279]

Ahh...I remember this question, "what happens when we die?"...Keanu Reeves answered it like "The one who loves us very much will miss us"

[@einmanaulfur]

I wrote it down when he said it. Best answer ever.

[@michaelpalmer1580]

What if you have none?😵

[@pidayrocks2235]

Well, that is the only means by which we live on... whether he meant it that way or not, his answer is about as accurate as it gets. A bleaker, yet equally true, answer from Ricky Gervais on what happens after you die: the same thing as before you were born (i.e. non-existence).

[@thebasketballhistorian3291]

@@pidayrocks2235 I think Reeves' quote was related to the tragedies in his own life (best friend died of overdose, daughter was stillborn, girlfriend died in car accident) and how it affected him. Reeves has been quoted as being spiritual, believing in God. I don't think think his quote should be construed, even if unintentional, as having a parallel meaning to Gervais's.

[@pidayrocks2235]

@@thebasketballhistorian3291 Did I not say “whether he meant it that way or not”? The quote remains true even if his other beliefs are not. Our loved ones WILL miss us. I never talked about the intention behind the quote, rather only it’s truth value.

[@michaelperalta6197]

SO GLAD to see John moving past The Office and doing his own thing. Such a talented director and actor. Love this man so much.

[@mannyrivas3054]

“Favorite action movie?” “The Dark Knight” Perfect answer

[@mannyrivas3054]

@Deep Cut Reactions That’s actually a good point, I think all the best action films are drama films with action scenes in them to resolve a conflict, since they tend to centralize on the characters rather than flashy action scenes. “Terminator 2: Judgement” for example has a lot more drama (and I guess sci fi) than action scenes in it to build up John, Sarah, and the T-800 with three long action set pieces to give the characters an obstacle (the T 1000) and the form to resolve it which is through action .

[@inmailstandard2277]

Super talented folks. All three humble, authentic and friendly. Amazing.

[@jaredvlogs8891]

Why is this conversation and the whole atmosphere so damn chill and calming. John is so likable and chill. stephen is like the coolest uncle / conversational wizard. face to face but without audience setting makes it even more chill. i live for this.

Evey has such a delightful laugh, I will miss the chemistry when they go to all live. Actually, she could sit in with more guests, I'd watch that.

[@donutley806]

Did you find the performance John mentioned? I read his last show was at the Las Vegas Hilton in 1973, but that was a residency not a tour (John said tour). I’ve found a few live Bobby Darin performances, but none mention they were his last.

[@lynnewilliams3241]

I found it after a long search. It made me remember not merely Darin but living life when you know your health suggests yours will be short.

[@amazingsupergirl7125]

I’m not ready for that at all. Vaccinations are finishing so quickly. We should hold off on hugs like another six months. I have a feeling I’ll be hyper aware of peoples proximity the rest of my life.

To be fair, I'm pretty sure that hug would have been weird (in the funniest possible way) pre-COVID as well.

[@danielledavis2647]

Yes! Toward the beginning of the interview (it might have been the first video), John touched his face, near his eye, and I cringed. “Don’t touch your face!” Man, the world is different.
