She is great and The Good Place is an underrated show. Smart and funny, just like her.

[@MrAwesomebassplayer]

I didn’t really care for the good place but I’m hyped as hell for the Veronica Mars revival.

[@quantumperception]

Brendan Mohan See I am the inverse- never cared for Veronica Mars. I look forward to every new episode of The Good Place though. I also liked House of Lies, and Party Down is on my top 5 comedies, though she was a recurring guest on that, and not party of the regular ensemble. She is a great actress though; until I saw interviews with her more recently, her performances in those 2 shows made me think that she was a condescending ice queen. Obviously, in reality she is the opposite (kind and warm). Just demonstrates her talent.

[@TeddyKrimsony]

how tf is she "smart" when she just said she can't do simple subtraction when she was hosting on Kimmel?

[@quantumperception]

First, that was probably humility. Second, there is such a thing as emotional intelligence, which she has in spades. Third, just because you don't know one thing doesn't mean that you aren't intelligent- intelligence is the capacity to learn, as opposed to knowledge, which is the storing of information. There are bio-engineers that can't fix their cars, and rocket scientists who don't know how to make a cobb salad. Just because you don't have the information at a certain point doesn't mean that you can't learn it. Assuming for a second that she wasn't being modest, and flattering Colbert about the amount of work that goes into hosting a talk show, she was obviously able to figure it out on the fly, because she rocked as a host. In the modern vernacular, "quit hating, you sorry a*s b*tch!"

[@littlejoe9229]

Maybe "The Good Place" and "Parks and Recreation" being on NBC had something to do with her going on the ABC late-night comedy show? A lot of times, the people running the network are reluctant to promote shows on rival networks. Just a guess, though.

When she was 4 my eldest daughter asked while we out for a walk. "Why do they say not to touch electricity cables on pylons, when birds are fine sitting on them?" I had no idea! This was many years before the internet and Google (my daughter is now 37) so I had to bluff and say it was because they had special feet... She believed me! I have since found out what my answer should have been.

[@xponen]

the electric only shock things that have feet planted on the ground. Those cable contain electric that want to get out of it, the pylon keep it up there, when you touch the cable the electric flows thru you to the ground. To avoid getting shock you have to wear rubber shoes & avoid touching those cables because there's some things which electric can't flow thru.

Touching two wires at once would do the trick too. Some larger birds can get killed this way. Because of that there are special guards on some pylons to prevent birds from being able to touch 2 wires at once.

[@jrburkh]

There's a compilation of most of her appearances on his show that is four hours long, and it's great to watch because it reflects his growth as a host, and perhaps Kristen as a star. In his later years Craig was comfortable and purposefully awkward, whereas earlier in his career he was just awkward. All hosts tend to go through that period, it's just funny to see that change over the many appearances of a single guest on his show.

[@Mawds69]

It's edited for time for when it's broadcast, as with any conversation you can have silences and things can fall flat. They will sometimes post unedited interviews on here and you can see how the pacing is off at times. The recent Flight Of The Concords interview is a prime example.

[@teni711]

Then its not a hard question anymore. I'd kill ten people to save my mum. The world's overpopulated anyways

[@lunaraydue1340]

But do you see the contradiction there, if you would kill one person to save 10, but then change your mind when it's one person you love? That one stranger also has people who love them, a family, a life. The trolley question really ends up being about how much worth you assign to others. What if the one person was a skilled doctor on the brink of discovering the cure for cancer, and the 10 were illiterate rail workers? What if the 1 is a celebrity and the 10 are overly fanatic fans? What if the 1 is carrying a bomb with a 50% chance of going off if you hit them and killing both yourself and everyone on the trolley? The different factors you replace it with, you realize more what your own opinions are regarding the value of life and the way you view others in different circumstances.

[@teni711]

Hmm you make a valid point but you're forgetting one vital thing. Humans are primarily social beings. In the end, the role of human existence is simply spread our seed, hence why tribalism is a huge aspect of the human existence. In other words "me and my people are more important than you and yours" regardless of whether my mother is a genius or has been in a coma for 10 years my biological imperative would be to save her. Having said that extending your point to the role of doctors and illiterates and so forth plays no such role to me within that particular situation. In the absence of a relative that then becomes a whole other question with a whole other answer. In the absence of a biological imperative my only question would be what choice eventually leads to the most amount of lives being saved. The only real dilemma would be deciding whether or not the doctors "brink of a cure" is a sure thing. If I save 10 people then 10 people will be saved for sure and if I save the doctor then millions of people MAY be saved. Only then could you really say that I am regarding value of human life to 'menial' things like one's station within the world. But you definitely made me put a bit more thought into the question. EDIT: in terms of the celebrity that also is a no brainer, they play no vital role to the development of the human species as a whole so burn baby burn lool... or I guess get crushed

[@lunaraydue1340]

Definitely, great points!! I'm not saying necessarily that assigning value is menial, and things like tribalism and bonds as you said are a very important factor. I'm mainly saying that the way in which people have attachments and make these choices are purely subjective and it can be interesting to see how answers vary. Someone with an abusive parent who they despise may choose to kill the parent, and people who are really into a certain celebrity and thinks they contribute a lot to culture may choose to save that celebrity. That's why this dilemna is so fascinating to me, because the deeper you get into it the less it's about abstract inate human morality and the more it seems to be about subjective experiences shaping one's beliefs.

[@teni711]

Couldn't agree more. It's def a complex situation

[@jecha915]

I absolutely love their conversation

[@selispeks]

Okay this interview was INCREDIBLE!!!!

[@previouslyachimp]

There seems to be a common misunderstanding in some of the comments here. These philosophical questions are not meant to be taken literally, they are constrained hypothetical scenarios, the purpose of which is to get you to challenge assumptions about ethical positions, or the value of life etc. Real life situations have so many variables that it can be difficult to home in on the foundational truths, because we get lost arguing over trivial, peripheral aspects. The simplified philosophy questions attempt to strip away all of the inconsequential aspects, so you can truly find out what you fundamentally believe. They are not the same as a riddle, where you attempt to get around the constraints to find the answer, it's more a way to highlight that there is no right answer, no absolute certainty. In life, we may often find ourselves between a rock and a hard place, but if you've spend some time considering the difficult questions that philosophy presents, you are more likely to truly know yourself, and be more content with the choices you make.

[@satish8299]

[@chrissabal7937]

The question points out the issue with Utilitarian Ethics, in that it is immoral to ask somebody to sacrifice everything for the sake of the group. As a third party, you can easily say "Oh yeah, killing one person is better than killing many." but then once the consent of the one must be given, it is no longer ethical.

[@brucinski94]

which is the answer the show actually gives when the demon dude summons them to that scenario. He can say that he'd rather pull a lever and kill one person than not pull it and allow 5 people to die, but then when it's the surgery situation, the ethics guy suggests that the hypocratic oath makes him harming a patient intentionally impossible, so he would let the 1 live over the 5. Then the demon dude makes the ethics person have to explain this to the families waiting for the 5 to emerge. AKA there is no moral absolutism in theory and everything is situation dependent. It's easy to watch a scenario and make declarations about what is right than it is to live the scenario

[@AusExplorer]

except that with 10 patients you'd just wait for the first to die and strip that one for parts, since they all had different organ failures.

[@amberc5993]

This is why everyone hates moral philosophy professors.

[@cetkat]

Or you just realize that sometimes the right choice doesn't mean it was ethical or good. Sometimes you're just left with bad choices, and you have to go with the least worst option.

[@Macaronee78]

The janitor thing doesn’t work because of blood type. How do you know the janitors organs won’t be rejected?

[@ryiro9611]

Its not a technical question, for all intensive purposes, everyone in the hospital has same bloodtype and there's 0 change of organ rejection. Anyway i wouldn't kill the janitor, i'd wait for 1 person to die and use their organ to save all others

[@nmcclymont]

Ryiro- I make typos all the time, so no shade, this comment is a PSA. The phrase is, "for all intents and purposes" not "intensive"... Back to the philosophy question about the surgeon. Nothing was said about the following, all of which must be true for the question to work at all on the planet we currently occupy: (a) complex organ transplant surgeries would need to be one man jobs, (b) phones & computers/the internet would have to stop working without electricity going out, (c) the ten people would have to have perfectly staggered urgency commensurate with the timing of the more urgent procedures ahead of them AND the surgeon would have to instantly know what that orcer and timing would be AND not get stressed out by the low bandwidth, (d) all other humans anywhere nearby would have to be dead or AWOL...you do realize transplanted organs are only rarely in the same hospital to begin with, right? They are flown in/delivered by car from a service...& (e) all of the people in the hospital, except maybe the surgeon, would not only have to be the same blood type but they would have to match in ither ways like body size.

[@hiroshikari]

Great segment

[@SAMZIRRA]

I just started watching Veronica Mars yesterday. Mrs. Bell is so incredible. She oozes talent.

[@NewMessage]

I would ASK the janitor... and if he said no, it's all on him.. the monster.

[@a_witcher94]

what if you are the janitor?

[@NewMessage]

nonameprofil Oh my... *clutches organs*

[@animusnocturnus7131]

I'd say the heart failure will die first (because duh) and use their organs to safe all the other patients.

[@zesty9815]

The janitor, by keeping the hospital clean, saves more lives than the surgeon anyway.

[@TheSmilodon85]

No because you shallow pricks only respect the level of ppls profession.

[@adrienconverset6571]

Just like I can't see Cobie Smulders in Avengers without asking myself wtf is Robin Scherbatzky doing here, I can't see Kristen Bell without asking myself wtf is Veronica Mars doing here. Anyone else has seen Frozen and been like "Anna ... I know that voice ... OMG IT WAS VERONICA MARS ALL ALONG !"

[@Lauren-ou9vi]

I just love her, she’s great

[@thatfatginger]

Wow she's so gonna go to the good place ugh I love her so much 😍

[@rasnac]

Bell is the best.

[@seanbean4682]

No, you don't kill the janitor. If you're a surgeon who's more concerned with success than murdering innocent people, most likely because you work at an understaffed hospital, then you're a psychotic murderer. You'd do what you can, but it's not the surgeons fault or responsibility to compensate for 911 dispatchers, EMTs, and hospital staff as an excuse to murder someone that didn't volunteer their organs. Also, the janitor wouldn't be a match for them all. They would all die painful deaths.

[@KTGetc]

Also, if this crazy nightmare hospital doesn't have the life support systems to keep the patients alive until appropriate donors are found, it's not going to be able to support them post-op or if their bodies reject the organs. In this scenario those patients with failing organs are going to die. Let the janitor live.

[@telectronix1368]

The obvious answer is to take organs from half the group and use them to save the other half. That way you also still have the janitor to help you clean up afterwards.

[@joshs7160]

The Janitor can save all 10 of them, these aren't supposed to be realistic scenarios, just like the surgeon having a 100% success rate. There's no right answer either, these hypotheticals are just designed to make you think about the moral dilemmas and your own ideas of what is ethical.

[@AndromedaCripps]

Once they got to the trolley problem it got really serious, then REALLY FUNNY XD

[@LampWaters]

Ur so awesome Kristen.

[@doro626]

"I'm gonna ask you this one time, where is Earth?" "Yeah, I'll do you one better, who is Earth?" "I'll do YOU one better, why is Earth?"

[@dnice374]

Because Colbeard wished Earth into existence on the seventh day, little one.

[@sint0xicateme]

More like Middle Earth, amIright?

[@mkely9032]

And Zeus had a rest on the 8th day. These fairy stories really do persist.

[@Celeste_51]

Aw I love Kristen so much

[@HeiDidi92]

LMAO such a great interview xD

[@cianareid5034]

Isn’t it, that the one person is somebody you know and the ten people are strangers?

[@b-radg916]

Yeah, I was thinking the twist was going to be that the one person is your spouse, or someone close to you.

[@samsmusichub]

My kid once asked me, "Where did I come from?" I don't have a kid, so I said, "My imagination."

[@jhumphrey9485]

Kristen is absolutely adorable. I love her and I want to be her best friend.

[@cheese8046]

Her child story had me dying 🤣

[@ranibowunicorn]

Ok but who *did* make dogs?

[@sarabeth641]

Humans! Wolves who were friendly with humans lived longer and bred more and now they're still wolves but look and act a whole lot different

[@Buenomars]

No mention of sloths??

[@jessijynx734]

Why does your profile pic work so well with this?

[@angelbliss9221]

kristen is such a sweetheart!!

[@hessalynnemarie]

I finished both seasons of the good place in 2 days... 🙃♥️
