I love Sarah Paulson so much. Just wanted to let everyone know that.

[@shaanu7707]

The Noble and Mighty Beaver no one cares about your opinion actually..

[@thenobleandmightybeaver4411]

nothing left - But everyone is waiting with baited breath to hear your unsolicited negativity. Seriously, you must be one miserable, depressed, lump of no fun. Good Luck with that!

[@teppi5119]

The Noble and Mighty Beaver oh you are SO GOOD! Reminds me of some wonderful words from some amazing woman.......Sarah something.

[@rogerbarrett1979]

[@christopherlewis7115]

[@rogerbarrett1979]

I just can't say enough how in love with Sarah I am. I spread it all around, and yet I continue to tell the world. If loving her is wrong I don't wanna be right. She's such a darling little angel. So frigging adorable! ❤️❤️❤️

[@phenixspeaks]

[@candicekaplan5257]

[@jaquelinesantos6545]

Love Sarah paulson😍😍😍

[@akeelhussain2392]

LANA BANANA 💙💙💙

[@ella-vy2le]

why am I crying!!!

[@elizanaejackson820]

so why is no one saying anything about her being in Oceans8????

[@andypike1234]

She´s got such beautiful eyes

[@S.C.Lewis1991]

I love their dynamic! She's so funny and down to Earth. Seth's laugh at the end was priceless. 😂

[@TheNicoRod]

She is the best guest

[@marioher4978]

Paulson needs to do a comedy movie with Kristen Wiig and Claire Foy!

[@jaxalexander9480]

No foy.....just imagine sarah paulson,kristen wiig,kate mckinnon and meliss mccarthy.....that would be dope!!!!!!

[@Josphinewalthour]

I love sarch pulson so much ❤

[@tommygunz341]

she is talented thou

[@toy.o]

A fave

[@user-cn6hv8nt9h]

Ask Rihanna to send me some Fenty Beauty too 😩

[@jdchartier20]

Sarah.is.the.best.

[@amaksim9371]

I want her hair

[@AbhiT2]

Genuinely love her gawky teeth

[@spiderliliez]

They keep interrupting each other.. LOL

[@kerylstanford2798]

I'm obsessed with Rihanna too sighhh

[@abanalshehri9310]

She doesn’t wait till the question is asked

[@sirtoby4939]

Who mistakes Sarah Paulsson for Claire Foy? That'd be like mistaking Channing Tatum for Taylor Kitsch.

[@lalu9056]

SirToby it's the shape of her eyes

[@jaxalexander9480]

Hahaha totally agree with you,there is no resemblance....plus i think sarah is way more beautiful!!!!

[@comfortablynumb3263]

jax alexander no Claire Foy is one of the most beautiful people. I mean you don’t see Sarah Paulson on Vogue but you do see Claire. Not to mention Claire is 100% more talented than her. Claire funny but manages to keep her class. Try and beat Claire

[@Poufkimashoula1]

How did Seth become obsessed with Rihanna? Had he said anything about her before? I found this... surprising.

[@radishsayshi]

Poufkimashoula1 a better question is- how is anyone *not* obsessed with Rihanna?

[@ErnieJazz1984]

Lana Banana

[@sarag.1486]

SO beautiful. Gimme the other head Sarah! (Not creepy at all). LOL

[@peyton530]

No wonder my UPS packages are always late, Rihanna's sending exploding UPS drivers.

[@capedchampion7659]

Man, remember American Gothic?

[@lwells267]

Currently watching it!

[@robertpiekosz7470]

Someone's at the Door

[@radishsayshi]

Hell yeah! I was obsessed with that show.

[@3ADWOLF]

Wow! An American correctly pronouncing the word niche.

[@jessicabruno1316]

But not Rihanna's name. Why can't we say it like she says it?! It's her name, people. Let her be in charge of how we say it.

[@auspicious93]

in AE, there are two accepted pronunciations of the word.

[@gojumpoffacliff13]

What is the 'correct' way though? In your mind your way is correct but for Americans their way is correct.

[@bevnisperos3667]

The host laughed all the time, man you're lucky because of down to earth sarah.... tsk tsk tsk.... haizt

[@highfunctioningsociopath6454]

She does look like claire foy

[@Rockinghorrors]

It's quite annoying how the interviewer is always mumbling.. Just talk properly man!

[@wouldbealex]

Anyone else catch "really quick turn-around" ... we can say "so weird it's so relevant now," or, alternatively, considering Hollywood making points in movies like Wag the Dog and Our Brand is Crisis maybe its creation and release is not so weird because it was done intentionally? Narrative Persuasion

[@jbk0507]

Um....Sarah Paulson is on a much higher level than Rhianna.

[@haltdiefresse1185]

Jen kb absolutely not true. Rihanna is international Popstar.

[@NeelamSingh-ee4tc]

😇

[@mutirahmawati3619]

Sarah paulson is confusing she has a horror role but when she get scared she is scared.

[@bevnisperos3667]

The host don't have any idea to those characters for each season.... he did not reserched at all... naahhh

[@bevnisperos3667]

This host for the money..... hmp

[@DuckTheHeel]

Why does no talk about her 74 year old girlfriend

[@ryno1509]

Ryan Paladino why would they? her love life is her business

[@who_Is_faten_helmi]

she's the most underrated actress ...love her ❤

[@cleencoodle]

legit she'd be so great on SNL. she has a great comedic sensibility

[@linlinnsm]

she has won 5 awards in a year.....awards mean recognition

[@who_Is_faten_helmi]

LIN linnsmrice ....im a fan of hers and i know that but still she deserves more recognition from the public .

[@entertainmentrealm]

Faten Helmi how is she underrated if she's won so many awards? it just may have taken longer for recognition than it should have.

[@elizanaejackson820]

+Shen Shen YES!

[@elizanaejackson820]

so why is no one saying anything about her being in Oceans8????

[@orie._.]

How can you justify a growing obsession with this woman? I just started watching nonstop all her appearances on TV shows, because she is so amazing, humble and funny you want to watch her all the time. Is it okay thinking you might've actually started to fall in love with her? And notice the reaction from audience - no one interrupts her, everyone just listens intently to what she says, she is incredible like that.

[@francinelukban8389]

I HAVE THE EXACT SAME SENTIMENT IM SO IN LOVE W HER ITS INSANE

[@Coolbk17]

Yes I think I am in love with her 😳🗣😔

[@Lucy-mv9fl]

Hi dude, 2 years on. Are u in love with her still?

[@orie._.]

@@Lucy-mv9fl shes's still marvelous, so yes

[@Lucy-mv9fl]

@@orie._. i love it. Me too.

[@iravatisingh5060]

She is so naturally funny! And Seth is so cute ugh. Loved the whole UPS pooofing sequence!!

[@slipe3254]

The ups started hiring meseeks instead of regular people.

[@iravatisingh5060]

Look at meeee! I'm Mr. Meseeks!!

[@AngelusHale]

Sarah Paulson is in Oceans 8. WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?! Okay, now I'm interested. She's so underrated.

[@carlingtons]

but she and Claire Foy sort of look alike tho hahaha dont forget to also include Emily Blunt! all three are immensely talented actresses♥♥

[@MrWotsItoya]

anyone that is a friend of Rihanna has to be a great person

[@Dixler683]

MrWotsItoya Donald Trump the greatest president ever is also a friend of Rihanna making him a great person. Thanks for pointing that out .

[@jesusduarte2410]

[@SilkyC]

I WANT SOME FENTY STUFF DAMN IT! Sarah Paulson is incredible!

[@jeannereichenbach3507]

If I saw Sarah Paulson I probably black out just from being like in the same vicinity as a strong kind amazing person.

[@jnanasiddhy]

Seth loves Rihanna as much as I do! We're comrades now! The power of Rih! ❤️❤️❤️

[@cuptainmarr-ell4569]

She is natural and she speaks her mind, no filter...exactly the kind of person/individual that me and some looked up and respect.... I wish by 2021 she’ll be in the big screen or even Netflix is great!

[@YouFightLikeACow]

I love her personality
