[@carrotcake7071]

Oh Rashida, you beautiful rule-breaking moth

[@seahorseradish8012]

Leslie much 😂😂😂😂😂

[@blackandalittleyellow]

Haha

[@MuhammadEgypt]

Rashida is an Arabic name means wise or judicious. It can also mean grown-up or rightly-guided.

[@rickslick730]

Thank you for the insight, and her dad is the great Quincy Jones

[@MuhammadEgypt]

teamworkformyfrainds This is not for you dude. It's for those who might be interested, not you.

[@MuhammadEgypt]

Ibrahim Assiri I replied to teamworkformyfrainds, not Rick Smooth. Look again before leaving such a comment.

[@ibrahim77tutorials]

Mohamed Farouk well tbf he deleted his comment so i couldn't see it, but still sorry for that bro

[@MuhammadEgypt]

Ibrahim Assiri No problem! :)

[@hashiramasenju7031]

This is the feeling when you are 15 years old and you are in love with an actress who is already married.

[@elyates726]

Literally me rn

[@supermahmoud]

Rashida is one beautiful woman

[@Nue55]

She really takes care of her beauty. Fucking 38 and she looks like she's 28.

[@okand5138]

Her black genes lol

[@Nue55]

Hana K I agree, but don't forget that even if our genes make us look youthful some of us look terrible when we do not tend to our health or our appearance.

[@christopheraparicio4482]

Hana K That's not entirely true Hispanics may say that they are a certain age but when you meet them you would think that they are older or younger. So no I do not buy into that while notion of black genes at all

[@Nue55]

Christopher Aparicio wild or while?

[@patriciarocaroca]

***** SHE'S 38?? OH MY GOD

[@hamzaaslam6783]

2:08 the drummer looks like levandrius (donna’s brother from parks and rec)

[@JordanAthemusiclover]

Rashida Jones is so pretty and funny and I'm actually excited for Toy Story 4! And Questlove's facial expressions at 2:09 and 2:17 were priceless!

[@directedvision3498]

i love how she wont mention quincy jones!! her father!!!

[@SinisterSkyline]

Given that all the other Toy story films were co-written by at least 6 different people, I'm gonna go ahead an assume she's just hired as one of the many various people to punch up the script.

[@5512sparky]

Isn't she Quincy Jones' daughter? She seems like she would be a cool chick to hang out with.

[@ADAJ3KINGANGEL]

Yup

[@5512sparky]

She's hot!

[@TheAgentAssassin]

What kind of malarkey is going on in here?

[@blinkatreyu]

"Literally" the best news from "literally" the most gorgeous girl!

[@user-rz3cr1zi4y]

I read that in Chris' / Rob's voice

[@MrDummyisDumb]

Ann Perkins! Literally my most favorite person in the entire world

[@bruhzinho5787]

“👉👉”

[@Dj510O]

How could Jim leave Karen?

[@esteban578]

She's so beautiful I have the biggest crush on her

[@paperchasindude6578]

Shes so pretty

[@johnathanking9885]

her mom was more back in the day.

[@payduhman]

Same man. Same

[@EDPsyoprostitute]

Simp

[@TokyoKazama]

As a 24 year old. I felt like Toy Story 3 gave me closure over my childhood. But the announcement of TY4 is like spitting in the face of TY3's ending, just to make another quick buck on a popular franchise.

[@MisterIkeJones]

welcome to the last 14 or so years of movies.

[@cornhub8823]

toy story 3 ended so well and I was 110% satisfied with it now their going to make toy story 4 that will lead to more toy stories. why

[@MisterIkeJones]

besides, what are you guys worried about? it's almost as if Pixar can do no wrong. They know what they're doing. EDIT: i forgot about Cars and the whole sentient vehicle bit, never mind.

[@mrlozmoore]

maybe toy story 2 gave closure to another 24 year old

[@shotaroikaros7096]

Has toys story ever been bad? I think you're over reacting

[@JohnSpawn1]

Don't fuck this film up Rashida or you'll never be able to talk about anything again... ok, that went a bit too far. But please Lasseter and everyone involved, don't make anything other than a great film, otherwise don't release it in the first place.

[@Shadownumber206]

Well they made Toy Story 3, and it sucked. So hopefully TS4 will be better.

[@JohnSpawn1]

***** You know nothing.

[@Shadownumber206]

Tom Waits You know nothing.

[@TheNeonHitman]

+Shadownumber206 You know nothing.

[@qazk1]

jon snow knows nothing

[@Dave....]

Can't wait for the new season of Parks & Recs!! One of the best shows ever.

[@_WhyYouMad]

parks n recs, ohh you mean the office 2.0 come on! amy poehlers character is Michael scott. totally same premise, producers. I don't like it

[@Steamforger]

Barack Hussein Obama Thanks for the in-depth analysis there, captain, that argument was really convincing.

[@_WhyYouMad]

YEAH, OK "CAPT" WTF? who are you? no really. everyone watching these comments are like : "ok , we know barack", "but what the fuck is a forger of steam?" and "for what idiotic, tool of a reason would ANYONE even conceive of a name like that?" Respect your president, BOY. LOL Sincerely, Barry O.

[@Steamforger]

Wait - so because you couldn't think of a reasonable argument to support your original statement, you immediately go for the name? I didn't read your name at all, to be honest, as to associate the identity of a US President with the garbage you're peddling here just doesn't make sense either. So to your second comment, again - thanks for the indepth analysis.

[@violeta585]

I'd like to live in Jimmy's brain...the world seems so nice, everybody floating around, eating ice cream etc

[@JohnSmith-fs8bu]

Voicu Violeta The brain of a simpleton? Lol

[@damienjohn]

I can't figure out if there is purple in her hair, or if my screen is weird. Either way it looks fucking fabulous.

[@MikaelaGoesRawwr]

Purple hair!! :)

[@JordanAthemusiclover]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@varunsingh6772]

It's purple in your eye, you should probably see a doc

[@guitarchim]

It's purple ever since in Parks and Recreation where she dyes it in an episode

[@EpicMrBlack6869]

Not anymore, TS4 was rewritten by Stephany Folsom and the original script was scraped after Rashida and Will McCormack withdrew from the film.

[@elizaheathen]

not sure how I feel about her co-writing TS4... it's too important.

[@mcnimi]

i completely sympathize

[@BigFatCock0]

Though I'm obviously gonna watch it. I feel it's gonna be a real let down considering 3 felt like the best ending ever.

[@opiniontechy2233]

ElMoShApPiNeSs Its like TS4 is gonna be a start to a new journey of Toy Story coz yah the TS3 is like the best ending.

[@Nue55]

I'm used to people using that abbreviation for The Sims 4 so I was a little confused lol.

[@thatbennyguy]

People felt the same about To Story 3, believing that a 3rd entry into a series they hadn't touched for years was a "cash grab", and that they were going to screw it up like studios tend to do with trilogies... If we look at their recent film Inside Out we see that Pixar is back at their peak again, and if anything we should be scared that Toy Story 4 might be too good for us to handle. I'm going to reserve judgment, but I have high, justified hopes for this film.

[@justin33.44]

I have faith that the new toy story movie will come out just fine because it seems like she is the only new person co-writing it. Lol so when she makes a suggestion that is a horrible idea the other guys would just awkwardly look at each other and say "uhhhh yyyeaahhh or let's try this!!" But in all seriousness, who came up with the idea to hire Rashida Jones? What has she done in her career that would suggest that she has the co-writing chops to help co-write a fourth installment in this incredible and widely successful franchise?

[@johnphilbill]

I've not seen anything she's written but pixar must have and liked it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rashida_Jones#Writing

[@justin33.44]

+johnphilbill and what's even crazier is the fact that this could possibly land her an Oscar nomination. The first and third were nominated for oscars for their writing. Good lord, I couldn't imagine rashida jones being an Oscar nominee.

[@monamohamed6871]

Im guessing its because her dad is Quincy Jones. He has the contacts, and can probably get her to the position of co-writer. Hmm.

[@SinisterSkyline]

Mona Mohamed That's nonsensical... He's a music man. You might say that the fact she's Jones' daughter might've gotten her the job as a back up singer for Maroon 5. Writing, tho? Doubt it... Plus, I bet the people that write most of Pixar's films are people nobody knows anything of... Fucking hell, people are just bitter these days.

[@SinisterSkyline]

And, what have you seen that makes it so fucking disconcerting that she was hired? She very well could be very skilled at it and simply hasn't had the chance to expose it 'cause she's mostly given low profile acting roles...

[@MoheyMojito]

she's beautiful!

[@junkmode]

Shes writing story story 4? i don't mind her on parks and recs although she isn't that funny on it but seriously why? get a qualified experienced writer not an ok sit com actor who feels like giving it a shot.

[@Lola_t]

***** yes she has written before with Will McCommack on that atrocious film Jess and Celeste Forever. I'm worried to say the least. I am a fan of Rashida but Toy Story is my childhood.

[@lonelyclaud]

MariaPompeo How is Jess and Celeste atrocious? You may not like it, but that's certainly not the general consensus.

[@AnaluGPrd]

She's an amazing writer, also she went to Harvard and if among all writers pixar chose her i think it'll be amazing!

[@andrewgrove1691]

She is beautiful

[@reneedemaio4947]

OMG she is so pretty!! Wish I looked like her

[@comedian416]

As long as your good in bed that's all that matters sweetie. Not being a pervert but all guys don't need a 10/10. A sweet girl with a kickass personality and is great in bed is enough. Im good.

[@Shadownumber206]

Renee DeMaio I wish you looked like her too.

[@GoldHamSam]

comedian416 Most guys prefer a 10/10. Don't cut yourself short pal.

[@GoldHamSam]

comedian416 Nah dude. I just don't settle for things I know I can do better with. Why settle for an ok paying job when you could work harder and make more money? yenno? Same thing applies to women. You can always find your dream girl, so don't sell yourself short.

[@comedian416]

GoldHamSam omg your an idiot. The job vs a woman conversation you're making is not even close to the same thing. Im done wasting my time with a moron like you. Goodbye.

[@JukuMania]

2:03 that girl in the audience who said "what" says it all

[@ratlakmin]

lol

[@dfg1999]

She's beautiful, intelligent, talented, and a woman!

[@epicsniper18]

She kinda reminds me of Jennifer love Hewitt

[@epicsniper18]

***** I meant I think she looks like her lol

[@Lilcutiepie99]

it better be about seeing Andy in college and him finding out that toys can talk.

[@dbkaoto5]

I dont want a Toy Story 4, the third one was perfect,lets leave it there

[@lrvogt1257]

Don't see it and you won't be disappointed.

[@FmrFox-no6yk]

+LR Vogt you right

[@miyam9001]

SEE it and you won’t be disappointed

[@blackandalittleyellow]

Ann Perkins

[@RichTake]

I cried at the most amazing ending of the Toy Story franchise and now they want to come back and potentially ruin it!! They are jumping the shark on this one. They should just leave the amazing franchise the way it ended. I couldn't have been any more satisfied with how it ended. SMH. You know it's serious when a person in their 20's is getting riled up about Toy Story.

[@luluharshie3929]

Anyone here after the toy story 4 trailer dropped?

[@JamieJMartens]

Did she sign The Love Contract for after the show?

[@jessieevans8258]

What an incredibly beautiful woman.

[@olivertaylor8862]

The fact that a 4th Toy Story is being made is stupid and wasteful.

[@01rai01]

Is she gonna be on Craig Ferguson, she better!

[@m.2891]

wasnt he suppose to quit or something?

[@01rai01]

Yea, in a few weeks.

[@m.2891]

rai ZOR oh god i hope he invites JLaw or Benedict Cumberbatch before that

[@01rai01]

It would be good to see, but I doubt it. JLaw would go to Letterman instead, but Cumberbatch and Ferguson would be great to see.

[@m.2891]

rai ZOR yeah true...cumberbatch is so proper most of the time.i'd love to see what craigs like with him.

[@SirBlackReeds]

What are the odds that she simply lucked out when it came to the Pixar fallout? What if she thought she was going to get special treatment and got whiny when she didn't?

[@Deadlygangsta]

She is so fine! Can't wait to see her return!

[@00survive]

UGHHHH!!! Stop, no more Toy Story movies! The third one was great and it just seems like if they do a 4th it will just ruin it. They shouldn't try and stretch it. Leave it a lone!

[@tyroneloki5131]

and how is she single???

[@cristianelizondo8575]

Her dad is black and her mom is Eastern European, and judging from Rashidas looks... It's a perfect fucking combo

[@christopheraparicio4482]

throughout this interview my eyes were glued to Rashida Legs they way she had her right hand on her leg, I can say that Rashida may have the best set of legs in Hollywood.

[@peter74691]

uhm she's half African American? wow i can't see it. she looks 100% Caucasian. that and she's incredibly pretty

[@Goooodawgs561]

I'd marry Rashida in a second

[@pjross9803]

He is AWFUL host, the worst. After a minute I had to stop watching. This is bad, just bad.

[@joshking010]

i saw Toy Story 1 , 2 & 3 they were all great however i just have a feeling that 4 is gonna suck like the majority of movies now

[@bexyPTX]

I know animated movies take forever but it’s so wild that this is from 2014 and Toy Story 4 just came out a year ago

[@jerelminter]

This wasn't the same Toy Story 4 that she wrote, it was the earlier version that had nothing to do with Toy Story 3, back when it was supposed to be a standalone movie.

[@4hotpink10]

is her hair purple or are my eyes messing up

[@renae1866]

4hotpink10 yes, but her dark hair means the purple doesn't show much...

[@smellyderpface]

shes gorgeous

[@kmstirpitz4285]

Oh Rashida you beautiful tropical fish. 🐠

[@HoffmanGosselin]

Miranda Sings tonight!!!!! :D

[@peppa_pig_]

she's gorgeous omg and she doesn't look black at all wtf

[@adrib9564]

ANN PERkins

[@jeffcon123]

Seems film makers CANT come up with new ideas. We just beat the old ideas to death even when u think the story is done, it comes back

[@robertsonyacapin4034]

Damn flat chested but super hot...

[@D0llyS0x]

reminds me of paris jackson a bit.

[@camaleon18]

Just needed to fix her hair a bit in the back

[@itzelc3232]

Jimmy's exaggerated excitement makes it seem as if he's mocking her. I really liked him on Late Night, but he acts fake on the Tonight Show

[@moahsani]

Toy story 4 is one of the greatest movies in the history? now wonder why you act like a baby all the time

[@marya.6867]

is her hair purple-ish or is it weird lighting?

[@525Lines]

TS4 will have a lot of Star Wars toys.

[@iLikePotato3s]

It's HOTWIRE

[@jessica5497]

Rashida and craig is sooo much better

[@BLOOD1MONEY]

She went from fuvking tupac to writing on toy story...oh the irony😂

[@QueenK88]

Wrong sister!

[@jayk.5028]

It does have to do with your success...

[@seancollins8554]

she legit has the roots,shes a Sista

[@scnighthouse]

All I can say is don't. Screw it up :-|.....I guess

[@siobhanwoods7785]

So sad that parks and rec is ending

[@kassandra5212]

She is very pretty !

[@alvarez321]

I don't know what it is about her. She's so fucking cute.

[@deanhurt2360]

there was nobody better to write it?

[@TopherXC]

finally, a girl who is mixed with black but acts more white than black.. never thought i'd find one. no racism just admiring the rarity.

[@BigHank75]

+TopherXC But you just said finally....

[@TopherXC]

ActionHank75 i was saying "finally'" becuase i was relieved that a person's whiteness can still shine through. i am white and it's not racist, only natural to prefer your own race over any other in most circumstances. so wh you see mixed girls always acting like they are more black than white, it's nice to see that it's possible to show more white aspects than black

[@BigHank75]

TopherXC Well you obviously never heard of the "one drop rule".

[@TopherXC]

ActionHank75 i don't believe in the stupid one drop rule.. that rule applied to slavery at first but black slavery in america is gone. Now blacks keep saying it so that they can "claim" anyone who is a little bit black. i don't know this girl so if she would rather embrace her black side more than her white side then okay but she acts more white than black.

[@BigHank75]

TopherXC Must be nice to forget about slavery. Wish I could.

[@gaynguskhan4586]

Can’t talk about anything

[@_RaeOfSunshine_]

I liked her in the office.

[@daspanishwonder7]

You know who can't talk about it? Bill Cosby

[@Shadownumber206]

Bill Cosby is a good man. These hoes are dragging the good name of Bill Cosby through the mud for money, and it's not right.

[@LP3Customs]

she quit

[@greeksalad84]

she looks Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmy

[@montyray6163]

I love those green eyes

[@PocketCraft]

Hot.

[@ajosanchez1]

At the end of that, she should have said "but I can't talk about that".

[@ostrezdesastrados9663]

kkkkkk (y)

They really do tho hover round and eat space food ,i've been there .

[@umaimasaeed8975]

She is sooo pretty

[@scala_xl]

We gonna ignore the fact that she’s Ann Perkins IRL?

[@hopealexander7849]

Not anymore.

[@thekingofnorway3465]

Jimmy sounds like he has a sore throat

[@gabrielepumo9784]

Wtf that dress?! She still looks gorgeous...

[@ElliottFox]

Kahlib's reaction at 2:09 is priceless!! "what the f...!?"

[@MrPatrick007]

ahhh fuck

[@ElizabethBalloon789]

BRING BACK LITTLE BO PEEP, RASHIDA

[@kaceyle2480]

Finally! Toy Story 4 thank god.

[@XlivMusic]

i thought parks and rec was already over?

[@davidesallese3864]

No, it's alive and well.

[@XlivMusic]

but i swear the last episode of the last season was like them going in the future like a bunch of years and it looks like the end

[@davidesallese3864]

YES! YES! THEY'RE COMING BACK FOR SEASON SEVEN!!!!!

[@91splash]

how many rings does she have on damn

[@classicalhero7]

Rashida "Tight Lips" Jones.
