Ben Schwartz on “An Actor Prepares”, Sonic the Hedgehog, and life after death

[@limetreess]

their whole conversation about death is really incredible cus ben said the last time he was on the show something felt different and he just had a weird feeling so when he was leaving he felt like he wouldn’t see larry again so he went back and said goodbye again and gave him a big hug and thanked him for everything and larry died shortly after. so glad they had these times together and we get to witness it.

[@lolabworse]

Man, I want him to meet my parents. That guy is so charming it's unbelievable.

[@tannerstiverson]

Yea. And Ben is pretty cool, too.

ben explaining things gently is so adorable

"Hedgehogs are interesting" "I can't wait to see where this goes"

[@sophie-rz2vg]

ben schwartz could host or perform anything and it would be gold

[@pompomflorentine7]

That 29 minutes flew by. They’re both great and have chemistry between them. It was fun.

[@Guccibear100]

Schwartz is cuing him for bits and Larry is just genuinely answering him.

[@helenarosno]

this is still one of my favorite interviews that i’ve ever seen. ben and larry just bounce off eachother it’s genuinely wholesome. rip larry king

[@blahblahblahEMILY]

larry pretending to not know what ducks are made me laugh unreasonably hard

[@coletheslaw]

Ben: "Can I Venmo you? Do you know what Venmo is?" Larry: "What?" Ben: "This is great...this is the best."

[@dachandewuffsteiger]

Honestly the best sonic voice out there. Also exceptionally impressed at Ben's ability to turn an interview from random to something he feels comfortable with.

[@AnisQiz]

Ben has 7 movies this year, that's awesome! Glad to see him picking momentum and getting credit he deserves.

[@Shrekslover777]

that talk about Larry not wanting to die hurt...

[@ChrisKoelsch]

Ben is good people.

[@proverbialloaf]

I think I have to be a fan now! Wholesome and funny :-)

[@wvu05]

​@@proverbialloaf You have got to see him as Jean-Ralphio in _Parks & Recreation._ No matter how horrible the character is, you can't help but laugh and love him.

[@geehump]

Just stopping by at 3 in the morning to say that the title of this video contains "Sonic the Hedgehog, and life after death", and that's buck wild.

[@bianconera10ale]

I loved this interview, Ben is such a good guest

[@ThePandaclash]

find a guy that loves you the way larry king loves q-tips

[@Yammenkow]

Ben has such earnest enthusiasm for other people, and I love that.

[@Jalte7]

You can tell how much improv he does by how quickly he’s responds. Also, this dude is exactly like Sonic. Especially in the brain. I’m ADHD and I can barely keep up

[@catpollins]

Larry and Ben fell in love this is amazing

[@laughingtreefrog]

Holy crap. This guy is star material. My new celebrity crush, although I’m too old for him, he keeps me energized with improv. He’s on his toes! Rare!

[@rickrobertbob]

That Benny Schwarz is no slouch either.

[@phow21]

3:50 ben asking larry if he remembers action comedy’s from back in the day in the 1990’s... i think larry’s “back in the day” was the 1890’s

[@killintime78]

Love how purposeful Schwartz' socks are.

[@MrHeart12]

this is amazing. these are guys from the block it feels. need more of them I could watch these two at the kitchen table for hours.

[@steegen101]

Wow they really tackled some deep stuff as well as being hilarious people. Great show

[@aBucketOfPuppies]

Out gosh Hahha "we really wanted Sonic to sound like a trumpet"

[@brandonsilva82]

@8:37 Ben gets in a pretty brutal joke that King probably didn't hear and could've made things really awkward if he did.

[@dudewatt]

I can’t understand him

[@Swenglish]

​@@dudewatt "You had already been through a couple marriages by then."

[@Gardow]

There's a hidden cut there right after that joke.

[@epic9256]

Gardow no cut just changed camera

[@abbysomnia624]

"I can't wait to see how this goes." Me too, Ben, me too.

[@Littlehickish]

“we heard larry and we really want it to sound like a trumpe-“ so funny how Larry cuts him off there

[@MrJonathanSmith]

Just coming back to watching this after hearing that Larry dies. Really said to hear him say how he fears death and thinks that's it. Personally I think he's in heaven and I hope he's having a good time being curious with all kinds of people.

[@funsome9328]

I believe too :)

[@calidofrio13]

This is one of the best interviews I've seen. Both are KINGS

[@rachellelynch831]

it’s so sad to hear larry king talk about dying after he’s passed :(

[@GeesebreathLive]

7:37 is the part you're looking for, you're welcome.

[@johnplayer420]

It's a shame Hollywood pays so darned well, Ben would be a delightful KZbin personalty. The world would benefit, but alas, he would not.

[@kellydolan9717]

He really really liked being on guest grumps both times he was on. So he does like the KZbin format.

[@tylersky9179]

I mean he is on KZbin as rejectedjokes or how I found him on Jake and amir

[@bronwynwalker5471]

Thomas Middleditch does twitch now. Not the same, but close enough.

[@awparker85]

This is an incredible cinematic experience

[@jorgeberni3035]

Simplemente genial la entrevista!!

[@griffinstopsign]

i feel like i wouldve freaked out more if i realized the person im talking to had spoken to jackie robinson in the past

[@heidimochi]

ben is such a sweet and genuine guy

[@declup]

Nice interview. One of the most interesting I've ever encountered.

[@vinceniederman]

Ben Schwartz is My Favorite Comedy Actor Now and I Loved His Performance in The Sonic Movie Also I Had Seen Him in “An Actor Prepares” and “Blue Iguana”!

[@AvastarBin]

a reminder that he's 40 years old

[@looneysprig]

He’s turning 40 in September, so he’s still 39.

[@sajjanvirdee3122]

Awesome interview

[@s.j7423]

May you rest well, Mr. King, ever curious

[@laura_nix]

If there's a god, and if this god loves me, it'll get me a partner like Ben . I just love this guy

[@ericoliver1603]

I hope you get a guy like him, he seems like a wonderful gent

[@alydematti]

Ben is so charismatic and seriously has chemistry with everyone! ❤

[@GenesisTejada]

Larry: tinder introduces single people by showing faces. If the face is appealing you hook up with the face.

[@jdw7372]

"I wanna know who runs against trump" The man got his answer and was at peace. RIP to the legend

[@hagnekore]

really funny rewatching this interview after watching the polygon interview where ben spent 14 mins relentlessly bullying pat

[@Bisdis_]

They went DEEP

[@BadCoverMan]

A couple of beautiful souls. ❤️

[@therealpisceskid]

-"do you want me to venmo you for that full amount? or half of it?" -"no." -"do you know what venmo is?" -"what?"

so respectful and delightful

[@gailwhite5743]

Ben Schwartz is my new favorite actor!

[@rubyrayne8]

I’m with Larry on the qtips! I’m addicted to them.

[@chrism82793]

I agree Larry's right q-tips after a shower are awesome

And that he’s the G.O.A.T. Interviewer

[@TheBleeeeeeeh]

Larry King should do the Sonic voice in Sonic 2 and then they should have Ben Schwartz play Larry King as a supporting character in the movie.

[@annaneuburger9947]

I'm not attracted to men. But I have some weird pseudo-crush on ben Schwartz

[@Ale-is1dk]

I agree with Larry, one of the things that drives me nuts about dying is not knowing what will happen in my shows or books and stuff. Like are you allowed to keep up from Heaven?

[@funsome9328]

I believe god will give us what our heart desires! :)

Larry: there was no TV, nothing was animated back then. Snow White (1937), Pinocchio (1940), Fantasia (1940), Dumbo (1941), Bambi (1942) and those are just some of the full length feature movies. And television became a household item in the early-mid 50s which if Larry was born in 1933 he's be ~20 years old at that time. Not a kid but still a pretty young guy.

[@mafaldacortesao9515]

He said he didnt have it not that it didnt exist most people didnt have TVs get over yourself

[@doomtho42]

This comment makes me cringe because I used to be the same sort of “well actually…” know-it-all; going around pointing out every last technically inaccurate detail I came upon - a hallmark of the immature and/or unhealthy INTP. I can’t tell you how strongly I’d recommend, a. learning & utilizing the MBTI framework of cognitive functions (it’s not the panacea some people make it out to be, but in terms of practicality it is incredibly useful), and b. working to develop your “extroverted feeling” cognitive function.

[@roboticeye]

Maybe Larry should consider investing in the longevity science scene. It's vastly underfunded because people don't think they'll ever die and think it's natural. reddit.com/r/longevity
