Marisa is a shining example of how genuinely pleasant and good some people are.

She is so generous Had a thing for her in the 80s, 90s, 2000s, 2010s, and now... she just keep getting better!

I’m in my 30’s and I will always consider Marisa Tomei to be one of my gorgeous favorite actresses.

Man talk about aging gracefully. Still a knockout

[@alanhutchins5916]

In my 60’s …. Still….

[@alanvallazza9781]

My Cousin Vinny. She did The Affair which was a pretty good movie. I also used to watch on the Travel Channel her series where she traveled to Italy. It ran about 10 years ago.

Right there with you buddy, always loved her since I was a kid ❤

[@adamd8442]

What a treasure. She is magnificent, heart warming!

[@phil4208]

Marisa is still stunning and charming, she stole the show in my cousin Vinny and her Oscar was well deserved, does everyone remember her on an episode of Seinfeld

[@johnsmith-cw3wo]

two episodes actually. (also George mentions her 30 times in the show)

[@dplouro]

Two episodes. Enough to punch George Costanza or as the old gym teacher nicknamed him, CanStanHim.

[@zxqj26]

Tomei got that Oscar over four classically trained British actresses. I remember Jack Palance presenting the award: “We have five foreigners for nominees; four from Britain, and one from Brooklyn.”

What a delight! Marisa looks has aged wonderfully. She doesn’t look like she has had any work done, which is great! Love her personality 💕

Nobody looks like that at 58. If course she's had work done. More power to her.

Personal theory: cute ages better than pretty. She's about the same age as Diane Lane, but the aging is way more apparent with Diane Lane.

Hearing their experiences growing up puts a lot into perspective.

[@Martell-XO]

Marisa Tomei sat across from me in a West Hollywood restaurant just 8’ directly in front of me and she was a joy to see. Totally animated, it’s hard to describe the joy I felt watching her.

[@marco1173]

She's soooo lovely! After all these years she still puts a huge smile on my face. She will remain my crush till I'm worm food, lol

[@MamboKing215]

Tomei is truly genuine delight; the way she licked her teeth when he asked what her fav candy was at 03:52 & she asked herself why she did that, shows how down-to-earth she is.

[@macwell]

She really said, 'What did you like?', not, 'Why did I do that?', but...she does seem to be very down to Earth, tho'.

[@MamboKing215]

@@macwell Nope! She clearly said, "Why'd I do that? What'd...what did you like?" Listen again...

Whoever did your set tonight did an amazing job. Love it! Mairsa's outfit looks fabulous on her. She always has such a cheerful disposition. Love all her movies.

Her Oscar for My Cousin Vinny was well deserved. I hated it when she died in Spiderman: No Way Home.

I was never a big candy person. I would trick or treat with friends and give the majority of it away afterwards. My favorites were the root beer barrel hard candies followed by MR GOODBAR. Tomei will always be a lovely lady and a good person. Much love and continued success to her.

Dear god, Marisa is absurdly (enter any adjective that means delightful) ‼️‼️‼️ I can't help but thinking that behind that constant smile and laugh, is some serious deep rooted sorrow (i hope I'm totally wrong).

The first part was like a reunion of old friends that didn’t see each other for a long time. I just loved it.

[@lindaward3156]

I can't say when the razor blade story came about, but we were aware of it in the '60s - although it wasn't in candy, it was in the apples (yes, apples were given out, often candied) so if you bit into them they'd cut your mouth. Who knows if it was in the '50s?

[@siriusgd4753]

What a beautiful woman. I love how she is involved with the Lakota nation.

[@glennzanotti3346]

The razor blade thing was around long before 1972. I remember that rumor from the mid 1960s, and I'm pretty sure it was around even earlier.

[@barrythatcher9349]

The razor blade goes all the way back 1920's.

I have always loved Marisa Tomei. She is a fine actress & seems to be a very down-to-earth person. She looks absolutely fabulous for about to turn 59 & sans having 'work done'. Take her lead, Ladies. Jimmy, I was very disappointed with this interview because you barely let Ms. Tomei answer a question before you either interjected a comment or moved on to another question.

[@makahaj341]

Agreed. The first half of the interview is mostly Jimmy reminiscing about his memories. The lost art of interviewing I guess.

[@tombanes]

I first heard of Marisa tomei on Seinfeld in the 1990s and never knew who she was until now. She’s cute.

[@rcdubya]

I just had to see “Marisa Tomei”..and I was all in. She is a treasure.

[@jimtokheim1422]

OMG, I remember Slim Goodbody on TV. Until Jimmy mentioned it, I thought he was a figment of my imagination because no one else knew who I was talking about!

As long as Marisa has been an actor this is surprising the first interview I’ve seen with her. Disappointingly, Jimmy spent half of his time with her talking about Halloween….whomp whomp. I love her tho!🥰
