I could wear those red pants too, but I won't, but I could if I wanted to

[@seopark7467]

this is my favorite comment

[@MxBibis]

oh, man, it's impossible not to love santino

[@TheAndriasyan]

Searching through all of SF youtube videos simultaneously while I need to finish my Final Project is a mature thing to do. A crush on an actor is the most high level procrastination I could possibly think of. Great.

[@gracepichler316]

Dangit, I love Santino Fontana.

[@samsmoyer8704]

Santino, bless you, you are a beautiful human being

[@MsDesireeNasim]

Santino is definitely one of my favorites on Broadway and always will be. Loved this interview! He's such a funny guy in the best way possible.

[@Katieclaireh]

I love Santino's laugh!!!!!!!!

[@jerelsangabriel6380]

He is so delightful. Love him. Oh, and he's also super talented.

[@ashleylannister4973]

Santino is so lovely and funny, I'm glad he exists to tell unicorn jokes.

[@laurenwendt5276]

He's so freaking perfect!!!!! He was flawless is Act One and R&H Cinderella! He completely deserved the Tony for Cinderella and Act One. His voice in Cinderella was flawless and brought me to tears every time I heard it...he still brings me to tears...I'm crying right now #whatiswrongwithme? And in Act One he brought so much personality to the Moss! Seeing him perform is worth every penny! He's so kind at the stage door as well! After Cinderella...obviously I cried and he was so kind and was so sweet while I was so emotional. At Act One, must of the Actors weren't even signing but he did anyway. He's such a glass act. My favorite person ever!

who is the one person who disliked this video how can you dislike this video i repeat how can you dislike this video

[@coco-dw3mf]

red pants

[@71crm]

I felt like Cinderella brought Santino out into the limelight more-and once we got to see his endearing friendship with Laura Osnes develop on the Princess Diary vlogs-he just became a guy you love to see and laugh along with-not surprising that he's been steadily in demand lately-there's this lovable Every-man quality to him!

[@brianna677]

This is still the best Show People that ever happened! #bringSantinoback

[@EllaReneeL]

he's so precious

[@sookwon1201]

did he "knock on wood" in 20:26 when he says he's very lucky!? LMAO!!! he's so adorable!

[@AlyssasTheatreVlog]

i love how many times he knocked on his head in this! ahah

[@laurenwendt5276]

He really should have at least gotten a nomination for Act One...and he was robbed for the Tony for Cinderella....he deserved it.....

[@nicholasgwin737]

I looooooove his outfit!!!

[@orville1984]

I love the fact that he mentions Watch What Happens Live. Makes me love him even more!

[@madelinehurd728]

"Who would Chuck Cooper be?" "Chuck Cooper would be my spirt animal." ****IN LOVE

[@WindWhistler89]

Yeah, redeem Hans! ^^

[@graceturner625]

“Don’t play leap frog with a unicorn.” Actually had me dying of laughter. Any one who would get the kid who tells that joke in trouble is a spoil sport!

[@baileybieganek2446]

K, the way he just casually throws these names around; Andrew, Michael, I'm literally dieing!

[@troywheeler5276]

Santino is coming to my theater this summer to do workshops. Well it's not official yet, he's getting back to us. Plus even if he doesn't come I still have my director who is a former broadway actor and a bunch if other former broadway actors that I've gotten to work with for the past 3 years and I'm still working with them today :)

[@leaderofthebadguys]

i want to know what the f*ck happened to "we are thinking of redeeming Hans in the next movie" ????????

[@giualonso]

Santino is so relaxed and fun in this interview! I'm laughing out loud here, he looks like such a cool guy to hang out with :)

[@giaannevillanueva937]

Hahahahaha santino is too pure

[@veratheblogger]

he needs to come back!

[@ishahakeem]

OMG HE SAID WESTERGUARD!!!

[@annafowdy]

that means they told him

[@user-jt6od7ig5i]

Hahah this is the best show people yet!

[@Supergirl-oo5lr]

Love him so much!

[@brunobalog]

Although this was during Frozen fever, I'm glad Santino brought it up. As a Broadway/Disney fan, I was really disappointed when Paul didn't talk about Pocahontas with Judy or Jasmine and Mulan with Lea (and he had two occasions for that!).

[@yu6158]

I love this man....

[@emmasavidge912]

Santino's from my state I'm dying!

[@whatdoyousuppose]

UMN alum!!

[@madelinehurd728]

Love this guy 💕

[@juice_wrld9998]

My mom and Santino Fontana went to the same high school together

[@SpringZero123]

18:06 I will remember that Santino

[@olly-kai]

He's gorgeous 😍

[@lilims123]

We need an updateee porfavor

[@ThePinkKiwi1995]

does anyone else think he looks like james franco in his headshot?

[@JazSparrow]

Have to you santiono, Hans must not be the most evil, after all scar killed his brother.

[@annafowdy]

Yeah, I once looked him up on Villains wiki, and it said he is _not_ a total monster :-)

[@Morrisseys7thFriend]

He looks like an older David Archuleta.

[@jenniferhiemstra5228]

As much as I adore him...he mentions Ursula and Gaston not quite wanting to kill anyone...so what was Ursula doing triggering trident lighting at Ariel in the whirlpool? What was gaston doing STABBING the Beast...just saying. But I still love him!

[@rosinecarail2420]

Ikr. What about Scar ? Literally killed Mufasa

[@yaya-mk3nn]

This is super random, but I really want to see Santino as Benjamin Franklin in 1776. Idk, I think he'd be super duper in that role.

[@rosinecarail2420]

Okay so now I'm upset that the whole "redeeming Hans" idea went out the window

[@flowersrockthenight]

Um.. Santino.... what Disney Villain has NOT tried to kill someone?

[@baileybieganek2446]

FLAMEHEART!!!!!!! Hello! I've discussed checking fox traps with you on the carlin brothers videos. You don't know how happy I am to see you on a Broadway video🤗

[@flowersrockthenight]

Bailey Bieganek Well, you don't know how happy I am to see you on a Broadway video, too >^_^< meow meow

[@baileybieganek2446]

+ Flameheart of Thunderclan plus, you are very right about Disney villains! Come on santino! Scar, jafar, hades, they all wanted to kill the heroes!

[@SpringZero123]

16:43

[@bway_car08]

He secretly hates Hans

[@aurelianightingale1941]

Oh plastic bags...
