"Can I say it looks like you're gonna" was so sweetly hilarious.

[@ginahorner7195]

When he was talking about peeing all I could hear was Linsday saying "no... say something else" like she did during Groffsauce's lie detector test

[@liannevalle]

😂😂😂

[@TheWiseGrif]

He was just...so wet

[@laurenredding1419]

Jonathan groff go one interview without talking about his bodily fluids challenge failed again

[@TheAdamPhilipShow]

Seth is the best late night interviewer. Effortlessly funny and not forced. Closest to this generations conan or Ferguson

[@bretfoltz7737]

He is the best interviewer on late night. Hands down.

[@lfeb]

Trevor Noah?

[@Ninanufu]

It's not necessarily a competion. Seth is still the best.

[@joshsingleton5963]

CAREFUL ICARUS...

[@TheAdamPhilipShow]

@@joshsingleton5963I’m sure him and Geoff hang out. I think Geoff has a place in NY 😂

[@pugs2189]

He comes across as so genuine and kind. I hope his third nomination turns into his first win 🏆. Good luck, Jonathan ❤

[@Dadtheimpaler]

I'm very happy for Groffsauce, that if this show business thing doesn't work out, he can always fall back on officiating weddings.

[@veen88]

Groffsauce? Can you plz explain

[@mushroomnerd9772]

@@veen88thats his nickname

[@veen88]

@@mushroomnerd9772 his surname is Groff + (Sauce) Aren't Nickname suppose to be short?

[@KP-mc1cu]

The way this man EMOTES. Couldn't love him more.

[@jspihlman]

The way that Lindsay and Daniel shook their head in unison when he said "I get wet when..."

[@DNTXPCTMCH]

Even though Jonathon cries a lot, he radiates happiness. Every time I look at him, I'm happier. Jonathon is adored in my house. Thank you for being yourself!

[@abbysomnia624]

That lie detector video is one of my favorite things that have happened recently. "I get wet" is such a CHAOTIC way to start a sentence and then it just derailed from there. Love the Groff. He's always such a delight

[@SourGir1986]

Jonathan is a treasure and a delight and must be protected at all costs.

[@OliviaCaspooky]

The way he doubles down on the "I get wet" 🤣🤣🤣

[@turnipcrazy4602]

I love that Johnathan gets so happy he cries. It's so sweet how the happy memories of doing the show brings him to tears. Especially at a urinal of all places.

[@ellencourtney7187]

We need more Mindhunter. And then more of anything he wants to do. Love him-so talented 🏆

[@shannon5203]

Yes!! That was such a great show!!

[@squee599]

I heard they were doing a new season!

[@megannwalsh]

I’m so mad that we didn’t get it wrapped up. So many untied storylines! It is a brilliant show!

[@captainalieth]

@@squee599 Where'd you hear this? I thought they were done with the show and had no plans to continue.

[@squee599]

@@captainalieth seems I heard an unsubstantiated rumour :(

[@tommysense]

Istg his voice is one of the most charming and beautiful man voices I've ever heard.

It's funnier, Daniels reaction was great lol he's like please stop lol

[@rjcarter2904]

He's an amazing actor and seems to be an awesome person. I always love watching him.

[@junechopak6306]

He is the sweetest man in the world

[@victoriasmith8570]

I think I just fell in love with Jonathon Groff. I loved to hate him on “Glee”, I thought he was great in “Hamilton” but I had no idea he was this fun.

[@donbsea]

This Jonathan Groff seems like a seriously nice guy. Fun interview w/Seth Meyers...

[@liannevalle]

Oh my God him talking about his relationship with Dan and Lindsay is just too wholesome I can't take it.

[@hummersd]

Jonathan is a gem 💎. Sweetheart through and through. If you can, go see Merrily before it closes in early July. What a production; Sondheim at its best. 👏

[@amberli5769]

They’re so fun together. Jonathan has chemistry with everyone it seems!

[@LC-le9ew]

What a lovable guy!

[@rls25132]

I just love watching Jonathan Groff. He is absolutely talented, brings a smile to my face, and I know when I am down I can watch him do anything and I feel happier.

[@mirthiful1]

This is probably one of my favorite interviews... it just seemed like natural chatting and fun.

[@jh4336]

Seth is the best interviewer on late night by a mile.

[@briannekueny7019]

I was quite literally taking a big sip of water out of my jug when he said "I get wet" my swig of water came out my nose...hydrating!

[@silverhooligan1256]

And he’s in Doctor Who this upcoming series ❤

[@TheblondeKrista]

Really?! Omg that makes me so happy 💛

[@MorningAngel]

This was delightful. I watched that Vanity Fair clip many times too. It's so funny how they all dunk on each other in the funniest way, like a true friend.

[@shawnapdx]

He is so good in the show. His talent is unreal.

[@ronniek4478]

What a fun interview. Jonathan is so fricken adorable. Wish I was in NY so could see this musical. 😊

[@TheLauren800]

Lindsay and Dan just shaking there head kills me!!

[@NewMessage]

crying on command is sooooo much easier than NOT crying on demand.

[@danielmetcalf]

Can't wait to see him alongside Ncuti in Doctor Who ❤❤

[@Kimm134Saya]

They have great chemistry!

[@keisha2120]

SETH IS SO CHARMING, I'm seeing so much chemistry, I'm in love

[@dodipalmer856]

Jonathan is such a joy!

[@jeffwatkins9]

Groff seems like such a darling person. So full of joy, a generous heart bursting with enthusiasm. And yet he's already seen and done so much without letting it harden him. I can really relate to him crying. He made me cry watching this interview. But tears of joy, of course.

[@Seabasstien]

What a talented man and humble, joyful spirit. Love you Jonathan Groff ❤❤❤

[@IAmFJ1]

He's so sweet. ❤

[@leerandall7740]

I kept waiting for the word moist... Lol!!! I love Jonathan Groff!

[@JeffWasFree]

I love how Jonathan has zero filter for stories that humiliate himself and admit he's human. Just the best.

[@auntieashcraft]

This is a great interview! I was smiling the entire time watching.

[@mauricioortizaznar1972]

I love him, his a wonderful actor, dancer, theater actor!!! His such a wonderful man!!! Best wishes for him, from Buenos Aires, Argentine ❤

[@EM-km7fh]

One of the best interviews I’ve seen in years. Seth and Jonathan were hilarious!

[@jeannievrantsis445]

Jonathan Geoff is just the most lovely, lovely boy.

[@Smark71920]

I just want to hug him…Jonathan if you see this let me hug you. 😂

[@benjaminbackbite]

He is the nicest person in the world. No kidding.

[@TheSuzberry]

He brings us enough happiness that sometimes we cry, too.

I watched that interview with Vanity Fair when it came out and watched it twice… but now that I have that clip… I also can’t stop watching just that clip.

[@ChaMiranda21]

Such an insanely talented human being-- and he's also genuinely kind? I mean. 🎉

ADORE Jonathan and I am so delighted for him and Daniel and Lindsay. They are LIVING the bond and experiences of the show! What a beautiful and unique thing. Congratulations and best wishes to all x

I was hoping they would bring up the "I get wet" interview, and they did. AND he couldn't help but do it again, hahahaha. I love Groff.

A deep cut, but so perfect!!

[@lizzard4890]

Just saw the show and got to see that man spray or “get wet” while singing with my own eyes. I mean like his spit went at least a foot 😂 someone was talking about it during intermission like, “did you see that 😮??”

Jonathan lovingly touching Seth’s chest after their warm hug, I am seething with jealousy!

[@Lupin788]

Jonathan is such an amazing human. He recognizes someone could be tone-deaf, yet he simply looks past that to see the joy and passion in that person who is singing their heart out.

I share a birthday with Jonathan Groff? Yay!

[@j.coward3738]

[@bpure2560]

He and Nicholas Galitzine could play brothers in a show or movie.

[@TheLauren800]

OMG YES! or a couple! :)

[@bregancool980]

I love this human! ❤ ❤

[@danceskatehorse]

Thank you, Jonathan Groff, for saying that no one sings badly. When I was a kid a nun told me I had an awful voice and to never sing in church. Definitely made a terrible impression on me. Now, as an adult, I sing at home, in the bathroom, and in the car! What did the nun know anyway!!!😂

[@cvictoriac1]

Ever since Glee, Hamilton, Mind Hunter. WOW!!

[@christophevetter7445]

Jonathan Groff may honestly be the man of my dreams

[@blauney1]

So Daniel Radcliffe was the ringbearer? I knew it wasn’t Elijah Wood.

[@Lupin788]

I think both have mentioned in interviews about being mistaken for each other.

[@jc7832]

He's already crying this much. How is he going to handle it when he inevitably wins the Tony this June? lol
