[@socrappyicoulddie]

I'm not even a fan of his music but I'll always watch a Josh Groban interview since he's so damn charming and hilarious.

[@heleneschenbacher8512]

You don’t like his singing? Are you a big fan of The Monkees??

[@nailbitter310]

socrappyicoulddie I agree on this!

[@genevievebaker6246]

Totally agree. Never was a huge fan of his music. Not that he has a bad voice. Just not my style. His interviews and public speaking are very endearing though.

[@boudica3356]

He's adorable!!

[@mem9020]

How is this guy only grammy-NOMINATED??? He should have a ton!

[@siloadventures1552]

Me M he’s also Tony-nominated for his performance in this play

[@rey-yac]

I believe it's because they don't know what genre to stick his albums in. I know for several of the albums that they were released after the cut off for the Grammys

[@fayeadams3317]

I can't fathom why he's never won. He's fantastic!!

[@fayeadams3317]

@@rey-yac I agree Rachel.

[@AndySaenz924]

He has also been nominated for several Tony Awards as well. Didn’t win any of them. He’s now working on Sweeney Todd on Broadway, got a Tony nomination for it. I don’t understand it either! He is criminally underrated across the entire entertainment industry! 👿🔥🔥🔥

[@laurab9867]

Secretly, I've been a "grobanite from the beginning. His voice is like silk and he's is so easy on the eye. But, the best of part, is that he's humble, charming and funny.

[@boudica3356]

the first time I heard his voice I was driving. I had to pull over because it was stunning

[@rosemaryvaughan3971]

Laura B yes that’s true

[@YesPlease1]

I got a very Paul Rudd vibe from some of his mannerisms and jokes. Didn't know Groban was such a funny guy, seems like a cool dude to hang out with

[@happycamper6888]

Hell no, Paul Rudd is a lot more sexual. He seems like he masturbates, constantly.

[@SamuraiSquash]

I love Josh Groban an unreasonable amount.

[@Monsterkruemelchen]

I love how flirty Stephen gets with his guests :D

[@EowyntheFair88]

Aw, he is such a nerd. I've been to concerts but only recently started watching interviews. The nerd is real with this one.

[@melloncollie8164]

These are my Pierre dolls... They are my only friends- Josh Groban, 2017, (We feel you gro)

[@nTrophy]

Awwww, Josh is so adorably awkward! Or is it awkwardly adorable?

[@Julia-qr7cp]

I think both. Definitely both.

[@honeybee908]

I'LL BE JOSH GROBAN'S FRIEND.

[@EowyntheFair88]

Marlene Chavez me too, let's go!

[@MargaretLeonard]

I'm a Grobanite, for sure! I've seen him live twice (he talked to me during one of them), and will be seeing Great Comet in NYC in March. CAN'T WAIT! I love you, Josh!

[@emilyb1438]

Margaret Leonard Me too! I saw Comet...which made for the sixth time of seeing him live. At one of his concerts he high-dived me while he was going down the aisle. :)

[@MargaretLeonard]

Six times live? LUCKY! Could not be more proud of his Tony nomination. Josh is amazing.

[@aguamenti0918]

Oh my God, I just can't with this handsome, bearded dork!!! Much love for Josh Groban

[@LetsBeClear87]

I dont think anyone deserves him, thats why hes single. He probably wouldnt say that or even think it, but honestly can you think of anyone else as charming and hopeful ?? I cant

[@lucyfoster4082]

I can see him with Ariana Grande, at least for a little while, because she shares the beautiful/musical/funny axis.

[@alexs.3383]

Lucy Foster ????

[@helenfong3339]

NO way!!

[@marilynn7799]

Don't care what the hater's say, he's fucking HOT 😍😍😘

[@GM-yq4xp]

who are these haters?! I will fight them! I am sad he and Kat aren't together thou...she would've loved olga

[@IliyaMoroumetz]

You're gonna have to fight me, then. When I first learned of him, I was in college for music, and realized that he and I were about the same age, voice range and so on, I discovered my rival! I proclaimed, "YOU WILL BOW DOWN BEFORE ME, JOSH GROBAN! I WILL FIGHT YOUR GROBANITES IF I HAVE TO!" Sadly, some things don't happen and here he is, successful with a healthy relationship with his accordion, and here I am, scraping by, accordion-less. I'm going to sit in the corner now and sulk.

[@GM-yq4xp]

Vagrant Vagabond I am so sorry that your talent is not appreciated.

[@IliyaMoroumetz]

It's alright. Even though I work in a kitchen, I haven't given up on my dream of being a singer like him. I'm teaching myself, again, how to play piano, and singing again. I'll never be the idol he is, but I think that's for the best. :P \ Edit: Thank you, by the way.

[@GM-yq4xp]

Vagrant Vagabond good luck on all your endeavors.

[@bargh70]

That was a great interview. I did not expect that. #olga

[@Starburst514]

Josh is so sweet

[@aliyabolotbekkyzy7689]

Don't flatter yourself, Josh. Stephen has sexual tension with every other guest)

[@jaydavids6485]

Liyah U - love Colbert, but he always has to do the silly fake gay man routine

[@stanwalkerlover23]

Liyah U I don't think he cares about because he also instigated it .

[@stanwalkerlover23]

3D U3 who r u taking to

[@stanwalkerlover23]

3D U3 yeah I figured

[@zeepxanfl0rp]

stephen colbert: *literally makes out with men like all the goddamn time* y'all: "WHEN will this straight man stop with the fake gay routine?!? >:(("

[@AndySaenz924]

He has been nominated twice for a Tony Award including Sweeney Todd, a role he’s now filling very well on Broadway. This man is criminally underrated across the entire entertainment industry. I just don’t understand it. His voice is MAGNIFICENT and he should WIN each and every single award he has ever been nominated for.

[@johnmfan]

Let's just take a moment to appreciate the length of this clip!

[@shawnuel]

"That's a lot of toilet time"

[@UgammaGrim]

josh groban has a damn good voice its cool he still is performing

[@EowyntheFair88]

Ugamma Grimm he is just hitting his peak vocally!

[@isabelled.7732]

He's single? *raises eyebrows*

[@memyselfandinobodyfromnowh9087]

Isabelle Dzwonczyk, exactly. Plus confusion because How is he single?

[@user-mb9nm7bq5e]

Isabelle Dzwonczyk if you don't pop don't even bother. Groban likes his lady to pop

[@isabelled.7732]

...pop? Is that some sexual thing?

[@kaitlin2400]

It's from Always Sunny =)

[@chaiselatterly7003]

Can't speak for him, but he could be one of the millions of grey a-sexual or a-sexual people. Michael Jackson was probably a-sexual or grey a-sexual, meaning the hormones may work ok, but only under the right circumstances. Or.. he could have casual relationships with no need for a long-term one. Or, his choice isn't politically correct such as a considerable age difference or other. Or.. he's got a seriously broken heart. Or painfully shy in his close, personal life.. Or seriously injured down there.

[@SaraDecember]

The part about people telling him they've "heard his song at a funeral" in this interview hit home; we played him at my beloved little brother's way-too-young funeral, too. ~~"*Fly me up to where you are Beyond the distant star I wish upon tonight To see you smile If only for a while to know you're there A breath aways not far to where you are*"~~Talented to the moon and back, kind, in-on-the-joke, talented, brilliant, a good sport, silly, inclusive, the voice of an angel that brings tears to my eyes. LOVE

[@SaraDecember]

@Josh Groban I can't thank you or love you enough! You make everything better, Josh. The joy you have brought into my Mom and my life is indescribable. Look what you taught me to do!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/n57HZqqgmLapbck Forever yours, Sara December 🎶🧡

[@giannameisner1536]

I didn’t expect this to be the best interview I’d ever watched, but here we are

[@AizwellOfficial]

*His beard is ascending to the Pavarotti status.*

[@jyoticabarrio8842]

I've thought his voice was damn sexy since the first time I heard it. And that humor and charm... I agree with Steven, he'd be taken in a heartbeat.

[@froehlic004]

I already like his music, but I'd love to see some more on-screen acting from him. I thought he was great as Andy's brother in The Office.

[@alediaz5787]

Matthew Froehlich WHICH EPISODE WAS THAT???

[@kylo4ever693]

WHAT WHEN WAS THIS

[@DeesonJame]

Have him shaved and brought to my room

[@maemae1531]

I WOULD LOVE TO BE JOSH'S FRIEND HES SO NICE

[@anrina]

I wish Groban and Colbert sang something together :(

[@ndpenname]

I think this is in my top ten late show interviews of all time.

[@denpdv2985]

It is actually one of those video, when you feel warm feelings and a little bit sexy overtone, but it is conversation between only men and it's never sounds salacious and dirty.

[@heartstringsbeauty]

I literally want Josh Groban to father my children and the weirdest part is i'm not even remotely joking?? :/

[@heartstringsbeauty]

*watches three minutes more* I love him.

[@rheaking7839]

You are hilarious 😂

[@eveverm]

GIVE HIM A TALKSHOW

[@a.m.3574]

I love the way Josh says "Mr. Colbeeert"

[@BellaWorldAni]

Love Josh Groban. :)

[@dontcallmemom9702]

these are my dolls... uhm they are my only friends. SAME JOSH SAME

[@ethelgrog]

Sorry Josh. You have over 600 pages of War and Peace to finish.

[@ladyydoc1]

He's one hellava beautiful man.

[@Ph.D_of_Lagomorph]

Can't believe its his broadway debut...and he's single!

[@steffyhobmann5037]

Had no idea he has so much personality. He's adorable!

[@calebdesjardins616]

Grobin is so naturally funny

[@carolineguercio4057]

I met him on Sunday! He's great.

[@UnderworldBoo]

Every dude has a thing for Colbert. Which is rightly he is smart sexy

[@earthling7183]

Not romantic? I've had a crush on Josh Groban since just after he debuted on Oprah, when I was 14. I'm 30 now. Single again too. ; )

[@NicoleArends]

He's so charming! I had no idea :p

[@huckleberrywinn]

are we allowed to put in bids for sexiest singer alive?

[@nTrophy]

Also, I just bought 2 tickets for The Great Comet. I bet it's gonna be a blast.

[@ShariLeigh44]

Intelligent, sexy, humble, talented, and a good sense of humor....how is he single? Hes too awesome.

[@renskedunnewold1995]

This video is amazing, he and Stephen really work well together!

[@hideandseek558]

i ship joshbert

[@hideandseek558]

@Josh Groban LMAOOO ok bot

[@ginafrontino9236]

I love this Josh Groban is amazing and funny and he is my escape from the drama I can't stand

[@sayakdas4159]

It is hard to find a mixture of humble and cute from someone's face.

[@StarCrusher.]

Stephen would make a great homosexual

[@sammiwhite9575]

StarCrusher he's gotta be bisexual, there's just so much evidence

[@iambored180499]

Sammi White ikr isstephencolbertstraighttoday.tumblr.com/

[@anatole5381]

Lmao

[@rosemaryvaughan3971]

Joshes songs are keeping me going after just having a stroke. So I’m now A cripple. But not for long. This time next year I’ll be walking again!

[@dabear2438]

It's 2 years later.... hoping you have recovered and are well again!

[@delaneyford2106]

IM CRYING AT THE FUNERAL JOKE BECAUSE WE ALMOST DID THE SAME THING

[@lektwik]

One of your better interviews Stephen! Hot! :-)

[@a.m.3574]

"👏👏 Have him shaved and brought to my tent!"

[@camilla8129]

I'm six years late now that he's Sweeney but oh my god this is the most charming interview I've seen

[@blendonator]

That was surprisingly good! 👍

[@alieellersmith]

He is so smol he has a kid face

[@chris835]

Lord Groban is pretty entertaining.

[@jjm0537]

Yup. He's great in interviews.

[@dbuckleytv]

"Is the fingering the same..." hahaha 🤣💀

[@PhillyFrank1]

Groban is so adorable and funny and self-effacing and talented. Seems like a genuinely good person. Nice to know such people exist. (Not sure why he's still single -- he totally deserves a girlfriend or boyfriend.)

[@starrytay]

his beard is amazing and suits him so well

[@lej6550]

Love josh groban forever

[@juliapierce566]

He is so talented and poised and smart. I think I’ve just become a Grobanite.

[@simonefernandez6990]

I've never seen an interview of josh groban's before, but he's so funny oh my god

[@maritzamartinez7799]

I had no idea he was so charismatic!!

[@heythereyanyan]

great interview!

[@jamihanks6962]

He’s naturally hilarious and talented. ❤️

[@sammysweetheartbowen]

that was amazing. i laughed so hard my kids came rushing in to check on me 😂😂

[@goldeneagle4149]

The best opinion is that his ability to visualize how he wants for others to say something and josh doesn't the whole concept that he is someone who smile walks away and has a happiness that no one can spoil or take away because he has something he per survers and goes to always to feel good about himself

[@jot4336]

couldn't pick his music out of a lineup or playlist but very entertaining man lol

[@EowyntheFair88]

Jo Tyson You Raise Me Up is one of his most popular.

[@jot4336]

EowyntheFair I'll look it up and give it a listen. Thanks

[@rodicagabriela7848]

Ești ce vrei tu! Ești interpret impecabil! Simpatic! Minunat!

[@itaminarty6523]

love them both

[@doloresnorris9499]

Josh what is up with the socks hahaha 🥰

[@bleuberry9636]

I don’t know much about Josh Groban, but this interview was so funny and charming that it makes me want to listen to his music!

[@arxsyn]

Groban has a very dark voice. He'd make a terrific operatic baritone

[@keplerr1512]

*”mR. coLbErT-“*

[@TM-ui6wx]

I thought he said the Grope-mobile!

[@BlakieTT]

No, that's Trump's. (Sorry ._.). Josh is great btw. :)

[@MsGrapeNehi]

When did he turn into Peter Jackson?

[@donnaokoniewski3761]

Love Josh. His talent is wonderful! I would love to hear a duet with Josh and Jackie Evancho. That would be awesome!

[@olgag1368]

Olga?! that's me!

[@paillette42]

What is that funk joint the band is playing when Groban comes onstage? It's KICKING.

[@roelandrutgers8684]

It's James Browns 'The Payback'

[@nailbitter310]

He’s so darn cute!

[@alediaz5787]

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THIS MAN IS SINGLE!

[@heatherhein4190]

[@Tabletop-Newtype]

[@carmencolon2394]

Wonderful interview. What a talented musician and genuine human being.💕🌸

[@billyboy18]

he's in the human world now

[@tennesseejermyn7705]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@Renji9031]

Plausible deniability. Why does he bother? We already know he's Aizen.

[@gabrielross-pierre-felix2789]

I would date Josh...with the beard that is.

The talk about PLOWING OH MY GOSH LOL

[@superdjorkurhero5608]

“My Mom’s friends are here” 😂

One positive thing being a Finnish citizen and speaking Finnish is that I can insult all the people that only know English: Ääliömpiä älykääpiöitä en kyllä ole vähään aikaan välittänyt lukea, pikemminkin olen pyrkinyt välttämään kaikkia tämän keskustelun kaltaisia ääri-ilmiöitä! Use Google Translator. Josh Groban is awesome!

[@briannagraham7155]

I remember watching him on Oprah...and I fell in love with him

[@a.m.3574]

*Claps twice* Have him shaved and brought to my tent!

[@BlakieTT]

I'm 2:34 in, and this boy's got some comedic moments eh... wonder how he'd do in a comedy [movie]. :>

[@BlakieTT]

Also, 7:09 xD

[@i.am.10vely]

R1 he's very shortly in Crazy Stupid Love and he is very funny in it
