[@charissalouise7160]

I met her at her book signing and I couldn’t believe it. She’s awkwardly amazing and funny and she screamed like a witch almost the entire time at random times😂

[@mick2881]

I'd feel like I was stalking her if I went to a book signing.Sqealing randomly.!YES Please.Yeah, I'm a tragic🕸️🎃

[@buckycore]

One word: Jealous 😢

[@NicoVellaFilm]

I have always loved her eccentricity. The face she makes in response to the audience cheering for her marriage is perfect.

[@NellieKAdaba]

Aubrey Plaza is easily a top 10 all time talk show guest.

[@alec2323]

Dakota johnson too

[@raymuniz113]

Most definitely!

[@rickyhazard5766]

I need a wife with her mental side. I want to live in that bizaroo world.

[@Elitist20]

'Literally cackled.'

[@c.a.marsupial.1282]

Never thought about it before but I would have to agree with you.

[@lmof1530]

"So far so good, right honey?!" Evil laughter 😂😂😂😂😂 She's awesome

[@tmseh]

It gave me the feels.

[@BittenHand19]

I feel like she wrote this book just as an excuse to dress up as a witch for another 60 days after Halloween

[@BittenHand19]

never mind I should watch the whole video before commenting because thats exactly what she did.

[@nilsjohnson2636]

Why should you need an excuse for that?

[@thepretzelcitybeat4793]

Actually, there is a "Christmas Witch" in Sicilian culture and her name is "La Befana". Her legend preceeds the Santa Claus legend.

[@ireallyreallyhategoogle]

Aubrey doesn't need an excuse.

[@BlueSparkzVideos]

Well, it's kind of what she said.

[@chriscreaturo8809]

Love how she makes being weird undeniably cool

[@christopherlewis2578]

I LOVE her witch costume. Halloween is already over, but whatever. She's adorable.

[@jasonandlynnechambers3420]

It's a Christmas Witch. 🎄 ☺

[@squanto2]

[@nwsportstilidie]

She could also have the New Year's Witch, The Valentine's Day witch (in red), The St. Paddy's Day witch (That one's green), and so on.

[@last7509]

..and here we all thought christmas was about christ. or did we? 😏

[@deevnn]

@@last7509 Nope...who's christ???

[@MyAngrySanta]

No host of any show is ever 100% in sync with Aubrey. Not even Craig. Seth somehow managed it. He kept up with all the curves and tangents without a dead end. Aubrey giving straight up answers is some kind of miracle as well. Amazing.

[@imthel0rd]

conan always was

[@hullinstruments]

I miss Craig

[@eclectica1]

Watch any of her interviews with Conan, and put some damn respect on the man's name.

[@PoopilussMcDoopiluss]

Conan lol

[@papl20]

Conan dude... That's the one

[@pattiwhite9575]

I love her. The map leads me to believe it will become a series of books. Hope she never loses her imaginative mind.

[@thejellyfinn]

this aged so nicelyyyy

[@lb5368]

I take back what I said about Conan being the only late-night host able to let Aubrey be herself! Nicely done, Seth 🐧 Loving the glamorous witch looks Aubrey is serving on this press tour for the book!

[@jazzeejax5816]

Craig Ferguson was even better

[@coktoe4487]

She was on Colbert last week, and the Christmas Witch bit was, I would say, not at all restrictive...in fact, she was more unhinged and into the character than she is here, and just as much "herself" as well.

[@maryjanerx]

@@coktoe4487 glad you said this, i was about to. She seemed much more nervous on colbert,didnt she?

[@coktoe4487]

@@maryjanerx I think you're right. It worked well though. She seemed to be able to harness whatever nervousness was there. She definitely belted out the screams on Colbert. 🙂

[@maryjanerx]

@@coktoe4487 colbert also has a much much bigger audience, so that may have been part of it. On an unrelated note, i can not believe she had to propose to her boyfrjend of 10 years. She deserves someone who has the same enthusiasm for her as she does for Halloween.

[@hanstubben]

Aubrey is unmistakable, there definitely is no other person like her! I always enjoy her appearance on any talk show. What a lovely, weird and funny person.

[@NellieKAdaba]

👍🏾

[@algee2005]

yea whenever she pops up in my feed i just have to click, i think she cursed me

[@nixelpixel]

i am sO jealous of her living across the street from a witch

That show sucked

That was absolutely *THE BEST* witches cackle I have ever heard.

[@jeronimo486]

I'm really not a fashion-guy, usually I just don't care how people dress, but this hat and the - cape? - amazing.

[@doggytheanarchist7876]

You should try wearing a cape. Never have I ever felt so Fabolous and powerful as I do when wearing a cape. :-)

[@elizabethgrogan8377]

Bought the book yesterday. It is wonderful. I started reading it to my daughter (5) lastnight. She is enjoying it as well.

[@bubblesezblonde]

Seth I LOVE your interviews. You treat everyone with kindness and respect. Youe interview with both Ms Plaza and Ms Swift are priceless. Iy is nice to see someone that appreciates brains.

[@khktgnk57]

I have no idea how much of that story about them getting married because of a joke and with the witch is true or if she made it all up but its so in character for Aubrey i absolutely believe every word, no matter how weird it sounds 😅

[@DjDMA]

It's actually something that April from Parks and Rec would totally do.

[@maryjanerx]

@@DjDMA yeah but at least she was proposed to in that show

[@cjsheu]

i kept expecting the story to end and it just kept getting better and better

[@shawnc666]

Wow, I thought I've seen "ALL" of Aurbey's interviews! How pleasantly surprised when I found this one today! She's Great!

She's just got it all: funny, witty, smart, unpredictable, gorgeous, hilarious, ...!

i've literally never watched a single show she's been in but i make it a point to watch every interview with her that i come across. what a brilliant actress and human.

[@elizabethgrogan8377]

I get sad after Halloween too. I starting keeping my nightmare before christmas decorations up all year. I have a life size Jack that I dress up for every holiday. This year I added Sally and Zero .

Interesting how Aubrey seems so much more at ease in her sexy witch costume than she normally is onstage.

[@reg2611]

I LOVE everything about this interview! 🎄🧙‍♀️

[@51stparedoctober4]

Growing up in a poor area of Italy, my mother wasn't raised believing in Santa but rather La Befana (beh-fahn-ya) the Christmas witch who brought an orange to the good children but placed bad children in her sack to be flown off to her cave, never seeing their parents again. Needless to say, my mother by all accounts was very well behaved.

[@mackgolia249]

What part? I know of the socks and La Befana from my Nonna, but she must have left out the scary part because I was a kid! They hail from Benevento Circello. Ciao xx

[@andrewbeggs8652]

I've been getting a whole "early 90's Sean Young go crazy" vibe the past few times I've seen her on TV. Love your crazy. Dont shy away from your crazy.

Same concept of La Befana in Italy, super fun!

[@candymandy3232]

She is so Jeff Goldbloom-like, could watch hours of the two of them

[@chromasux2]

Somehow, a Christmas Witch who flies with penguins from the South Pole sounds like an absolutely Aubrey Plaza thing, and it's cool as hell.

[@patricialavallee8286]

It is hell

[@krudmonger]

I appreciate the fact that she has multiple Christmas Witch costumes (was totally different on Colbert, except maybe the cape.)

[@call_me_cooper]

I literally adore this human! Such a gift to humanity! ❤️

[@FridgeChic]

Her actual marriage was more last minute than April and Andys AND Leslie and Bens! Outstanding.

[@marvinmartion1178]

Her hat was red on Colbert? She's insane and I love it!

[@maryjanerx]

Yes! And so was her cape!

[@weirdloverwilde]

“I kinda became her apprentice 🧙‍♀️ anyway….”

[@hv3115]

Lol yes.. only Aubrey Plaza could casually mention becoming a witch's "apprentice" and then move on..

Aubrey working on an excuse to wear a different witch outfit for every season of the year, dedicating an entire room of her house to all her different witch hats, capes, and sceptres.

[@zgh46840]

I love Aubrey.

[@shanustheanus]

I love Aubrey! She's so great in talk shows. When she goes on shows like Letterman or Conan, you know, people she knows will be skilled enough to be able to progress the interview even at her max weird level, she'll let loose. When she's with the likes of Seth or Fallen, she knows to be more generous with having a real conversation and can adapt. She's the perfect guest.

[@scouser2010ify]

I’ve always loved her she’s naturally hilarious

[@lNoWayAroundItl]

Aubrey and Dandelion sounds like a perfect pair.

She's so clearly possessed in the most delightful, brightly colorful, deliciously mesmerizing way. There's a rich bubbling brew in that cauldron she stirs and then pours with candied perfection into the hearts of kids to grownups alike. You can't look away. Only she can remove her charming spell!

[@RegebroRepairs]

In Sweden there used to be a Yule Goat which would throw presents through the window and scare kids. Him and Aubrey the Christmas Wish should team up.

Colbert is a hack. I loved watching her take him apart (when I still watched Colbert)

[@tiny99990]

@@fatalshore5068 yeah I agree, I enjoyed his shows during the pandemic, but in the studio with the audience... he feels a lot more like a hack, and yeah I absolutely loved watching her do that, just, it made me so happy to see it. I do have to say that at least Colbert is better than Kimmel... idk how that dude is still on the air I guess people find him funny, and somehow enjoy the interviews where he is the star of it.
