I want Sterling K Brown to give me a compliment. Oh my gosh. I was tearing up as he complimented her. There's such a beautiful sincerity about him. That's why he's such an amazing actor.

[@genevamartin3509]

Tracey-Ann Wisdom I know right. I was just surfing YT and came across these episodes never heard of these before. What a wonderful idea and these 2 together #getaroom meaning I love the passion these 2 have for acting for the parts they’ve played the characters they’ve created through the writers of the shows I could watch Sterling all day long very intelligent the biggest smile ever I could feel the excitement he has for acting.

[@voyance4elle]

Same 😌 little tears in my eyes... He is just great!

[@Cutay7BOOTAY]

He’s amazing yes

[@guilhermepinheiro5342]

And now she's on This Is Us acting with him, I'm DEAD

[@Poopie22]

Sitting in the same position

[@sorkinfanatic]

I recognized her voice on this is us immediately. After seeing their connection here, the casting makes so much sense. At the time, I wondered why she was cast for what was mostly an off-screen character.

[@JasonNation72]

So cool that Adlon got to play Randall's therapist in season 4 of This Is Us. Of course, she nailed the role because she's such a badass.

[@lydia3713]

I really hope she comes back in the next season. Randall needs someone to check his behavior.

[@johndorian84]

'Better Things' is so slept on. Such an amazing show.

[@seamac206]

Dorian Jonesz mostly because of Louis C.K. 🙄

[@cjok8367]

I'm so angry about that. Waiting for the day Louie comes back. Where I come from guys like that are gentlemen, HE ASKED FIRST!!!!!!!!! He doesn't deserve to have his career destroyed over that high school bull shit. Get over yourselves LADIES!!!! Had worse shit happen to me before I was 14.

[@peterwill3699]

Why was it on at 2am ?And Louie ck paided for his CRIME against society.

[@HovaNirvana]

Love this conversation and their chemistry. By the way, when Sterling won the Emmy for "This is Us", you can see Pamela jumping up and cheering for him, several rows behind. It's dope.

[@lifesabeachnyc]

Frank thanks so much for pointing that out. I’m going to find the clip. Love both of them and how awesome they are together.

[@sorkinfanatic]

I just went and watched this! Her jumping up and down was so cute. Thanks !

[@clairedillard5367]

Sterling nailed it at the beginning! That's exactly how I would describe her performances-the truth!

[@atstefanie]

I just love Sterling K Brown.

[@james92022]

Stefanie Herbsthofer he was awesome in Black Panther

[@nekola413]

[@ailiciatorrence9052]

Josshua Same. Gordon Walker. The villain you love to hate.

[@ineverswag]

[@seamac206]

Sterling's cadence is hypnotizing

[@thegladys2651]

Sterling´s words in the beginning. That man really knows what to say and how to say it. He is the MAN! Very talented and charismatic. And Pamela, she is the best!

[@fluffyclouds555]

The fact that these 2 admire each other!! I love them both. And now I’m glad she’s in season 4 of this is us

[@TheXJill]

I feel like there's at least 30 minutes more of this that got cut and I'd love to see it! Congrats to these two on their Emmy noms!

[@amydee9731]

Man, Sterling is flirting HARD. Lol. He is so into her. It's adorable. Love them both.

[@a3day]

The authenticity of this...I just LOVE watching these!

[@crownlands7246]

Mr. Sterling K. Brown's got a really, really pleasant voice and great enunciation.

[@mandinyarko580]

Everybody go watch Better Things. Its a funny truthful story. Atlanta and Better Things are great shows!

[@zekepliskin6398]

Pamela Adlon's praise for This Is Us singlehandedly got me into the show. And it really is one of the best shows currently running. In the world. So she gave me Better Things and This Is Us. Great gifts... and I love the respect and admiration Sterling and her share for each other. They need to guest in each other's shows. Please. Reoccurring characters for each.

[@ebbyc1817]

Ok now I HAVE to see Better Things. What the hell, Sterling K. You're supposed to be an actor, not the best damn marketing partner, ever.

[@glenmi8686]

Both actors are so genuine..so refreshing to see two people having a great conversation.

[@okaraagac69]

just watched all 18 episodes of "this is Us" an damn it was good. so emotional as well. Sterling is great and Milo as well. Some scenes are just make you cry it's soo good.

[@stephfleurigene680]

Paula literally is just so genuinely honest I love it. Better things is a great show

[@itsmegmira]

[@EvelineUK]

I've loved her since Grease 2. She's amazing. And Sterling... well.... what a beautiful man.

[@hailsnail7652]

They seem like best friends. The energy is off the charts. My eyes have become way more open to Sterling from this interview, and Pamela is just a complete badass babe. One of my inspirations....

[@okaraagac69]

Saw this 2 years ago. And seeing her on This is us being Rendels therapist brought me to tears.

[@yohibadash6907]

Sterling is one of my top favorite human beings and actors . You can tell he has an amazing heart

WTF is with these videos ? KZbin should use the algoritms/magic sauce to promote these more. Under 10k views for these and what youtube recommends are junkets with the same boring ass questions.

[@listeningtolydia7476]

I love her ! I just discovered the show on my Covid incarnation and I binged it and I’m so upset because I’m on Season 5 and I’m so dreading the end of this show - It’s like I met you and now you’re gone - my heart - I am telling everyone about this show - my neighbor girl Kellee is Sam but not a Mom w kids but still a Mom

[@FaZaFurhod]

this dude is one of the best actors I've ever seen on screen

[@christinetucci9227]

Wow, he gave her such a beautiful compliment. YOU ARE THE SHIT! :)

[@EzeICE]

"Look how wet my eyes are!" Among other things huh, huuuh, huuuh!! ;)

[@yasminmcewen3749]

Two Very Sweet People 💕😎💝 Pamela Adlon's show has been such a Blessing to me. Just now finding it and feelings from my teens and how my mom struggled with me and my sister's. It all just comes back with her show. I really Admire her Honesty-as Mr. Brown says. She is 100% Real and that's why she is Golden. Like. Forever 🌞💝💕 I recently watched "Waves"-and felt it was incredibly well-written and Sterling did such an incredible job showing the pressure of a Dad who just will not let up. And how that can create a bomb of absolute failure in a child. There were intense moments of love and then my heart just broke because you could see the awfulness unfolding. The running scene at dawn is Beautiful. Pristine. That's a powerful sad tragic movie but the sister has a life too! It's just intense. Love to both of these Outstanding Actors 💕💪😎 ~

[@cmholmes1067]

I feel exactly the same way🥰

[@IaMmEemiliolover]

Sterling: "Yeah.... Sure... Uh huh... yeah... sure... sure... yeah. HAHAHAHA... yeah... okay... sure" Lmfao this guy

[@legacyblog360]

Something about Pamela Adlon. Love her

[@FilmsandCinemaCollection]

*Trivia fact:* She also guest starred in four episodes on This is Us starring Sterling K. Brown.

[@debapriyodas1512]

[@leannerauer353]

[@cinemeleon2808]

I think about Janeane Garofalo so much while watching Pamela in this interview.

[@lauraindira8421]

Yes!

[@lanhu4730]

Very nice….

[@marlrycoffie3339]

2 minutes in the interview I’m like whoa what’s going on here

[@Bluesky636]

[@Ororo_Munroe1]

rodin mazaheri So is he

[@mo-whack6790]

I honestly don't know who she is, but now I want to see her in everything she plays in. The way he complimented her made me fall in love with her and I have forgotten her name as I am typing this. LOL let me go see how this lady works the camera.

[@greenfly0917]

Monique Whack Shes so good on Californication.

[@karong7017]

Sterling is so classy. He was geninue yet not flirty. I have no idea who this woman is but Sterling made her seem interesting. No shade. Will check out her show.

[@TheLuscious]

Monique Whack Californication

[@amiachelle9989]

He is a fucking acting beast.

[@amiachelle9989]

I love him so fucking much

[@carmenventuro5087]

What a MAN!!

[@andersonfamily]

I see this and my first thought........................SPINELLI!!! (recess)

[@boxer12350]

Dianna Anderson she will always be Spinelli

[@mylifesings]

Omg I hear it!

[@MrHutchiemcfly]

I thought Bobby Hill

[@cjok8367]

She's the voice of Bobby hill on KING OF THE HILL.

[@lindsaydt66]

Ah YES... sissy j Williams. Now it registers. I love that show and Bobby is a hoot.. lol!!!!!

[@canaisyoung3601]

Adlon did a lot of voice acting in known and semi-known animated shows. That's also Pajama Sam from the cartoon of the same name, Milo Oblong from The Oblongs, Otto Osworth from Time Squad (she was nominated for an Annie for that role, but didn't win it), and Spinelli from Recess (mostly, Adlon voices boys, but she has done girl characters). She was also on an episode of "Night Court" where she plays a girl who tricks Bull (Richard Moll) into thinking she's a boy so she can have a foster father.

[@REBELLIOUS513]

i agree with sterling she just draws in this truth about her when she performs

[@guntan7036]

I love u girl

[@Erica-jv7ze]

I would like to sing karaoke with Sterling!
