"You're adopted." "She's adopted!" "Shhh!" Lmao I love this cast.

[@ellahodge6775]

Mehcad: I'm looking forward to my make out scenes with Superman. Jeremy: What is wrong with you? I had the same reaction as Melissa!😂

[@Fazzel]

"I'm looking forward to my make-out scenes with Superman" LOL

[@emilykimmel1566]

"You're adopted!" "SHE'S adopted!!" omg made me laugh

[@newxromantic]

Melissa is so beautiful!!!

[@sarahannepeck2109]

This interview was so cute. Especially Chyler!

[@c.c.541]

chyler is so cute

[@sarahannepeck2109]

Same. The first time I watched Supergirl I couldn't stop talking about Alex cuz I had the biggest crush on her. My friends can testify.

[@joannecylow99]

Geena Dhaliwal same

[@billobo1]

I just love Chyler!!! All of them are so joyous! Great cast choices. I'm sure it will be a hit!

[@xxHanXiang]

CHYLER LEIGH YAY

[@wolis19]

Mechad is such a goofball, I love him.

[@julieta268]

Lexie grey is that you

[@iraschwartz4574]

This show is going to be AWESOME.Melissa is beautiful and the perfect actress for the part.Episode 2 is just finishing filming.And episode 3 has Reactron as the villain( watch out for his golden heart)

[@chrissyp8238]

" Looking forward to my makeout scenes with superman, so..." Omg I know he was beng sarcastic but 1. thats funny as hell. and 2. That would honestly be so cute

[@AmTheBestDamnChick]

so happy to have CHYLER LEIGH backon my tv greys anatomy firing her so messed up but it all worked out ^-^

[@JstSmA]

+KarlaTheRomanticOne They fired her?? I thought it was her that left that show.

[@andrewcary9360]

+JstSmA chyler wanted to live because she wanted to spend time with her family

[@bazzingaification]

wowww hank is brittish in real life? mind blown lol

[@victoriaking3836]

ikr

[@fxckingackles9238]

Yeah he did a few British shows like doctor who

[@TCE20]

+Fxcking Ackles he was in Doctor Who?! What episode? Why was I not aware of this

[@kendalbeffre2776]

Ikr

[@fxckingackles9238]

HE WAS IN END OF TIME Part 1 and 2 , he was the rich guy

[@Horsesarethebest888]

Yes Jeremy, just yes.

[@LBF522]

Very nice interview. I am so looking forward to this show in October. Love the cast.

[@fabulousmyriad267]

LBF522 I know! I was on the fence about the show due to the trailer but the cast seems pretty cool and relaxed around each other.

[@Jassyminey]

Tafami I saw the pilot, it wasn't that bad. Hopefully it'll get better throughout the season.

[@fabulousmyriad267]

rawwrxminners its not like the 1984 supergirl movie right? that was..strange. I only liked Peter O Toole's performance.

[@iraschwartz4574]

Tafami it's nothing like the 84 movie

[@fabulousmyriad267]

Ira Schwartz I wonder if it will crop up in conversation with Interviewers after the premiere. It is the only live action film frame of reference. I think.

[@saiyanveg]

chyler leigh = bae

[@Basm-lo4od]

I love chyler

[@DannyMcKinney79]

The Casting sounds great and awesome

[@glorifiedgleek]

Mechad is awesome. I'm excited to see him as Jimmy and the budding Kara/Jimmy romance. Anyone hung up on the fact that he's black needs to return to the 50s.

[@RayRihanna22]

glorifiedgleek you go girl preach!

[@glorifiedgleek]

RayRihanna22 I was shocked that there was a backlash for his casting. I'm not sure why it matters what ethnicity his character is.

[@fabulousmyriad267]

glorifiedgleek Mechad gave a wonderful, tactful response to the interviewer's question. Well done!

[@kirstenrox234]

He is such a basic actor. I don't care about his color. His acting has always bores me. Ugh especially in true blood

[@glorifiedgleek]

***** I could say the same about Melissa. Her acting in Glee was far from impressive. I'd rather wait and see the show before passing judgement solely on the casting tho.

[@oasis-wasteland]

Out of all the ones I saw on TV Line, Michael is my absolute favourite host.

[@katelynndixon22]

I started watching supergirl as I loved her as Lexi so when she died I missed her so much so I watched supergirl

[@rileycarter1510]

Lol, 3:27 through 4:00 is a very real #karwinn moment! They gotta keep karwinn a thing!

[@andreinpeckham]

So annoying people are still talking about this "controversy" around the jimmy casting. Earlier in the year people were complaining about the lack of diversity in the industry and yet when you have black actors cast in prominent roles in the fantastic four film, and the Supergirl TV show people people still complain.

[@andreinpeckham]

+thesatanic6 There's always a reason. The vast majority of people haven't even seen the supergirl pilot. Don't knock it until you tried it, as the saying goes

[@andreinpeckham]

+londonuser111I am sure you can find other reasons the fault the rest of the cast if you look hard enough. So that he happens to be a black actor cast in a prominent role that was written as such in the comics. He is a great actor, I have seen the pilot and he is doing a great job

[@andreinpeckham]

+thesatanic6 The comics where written/drawn whatever back in the 60's where it would not have been visible to have two characters of different races in a romance. However this is now 2015, things change and people need to get over it. It is after all just a TV show!!!!!!!!!!!

[@andreinpeckham]

+thesatanic6 The actor they cast is young, skinny and from what I have seen from the pilot a dork. Plus I am sure if you looked around at the rest of the cast there would be plenty of differences between the actors and the comics. Just people focus on the Jimmy casting because the differences are more obvious

[@andreinpeckham]

+thesatanic6 You can't expect the actor to be an exact copy from the comics. I am certain that the production team behind Supergirl know what the characters look like from the comics, perhaps they decided to go in a different direction. If you look at all actors who have played comic book characters you will find that they don't always look exactly like they do in the comics.

[@MsSelAce]

I personally can't wait. I've been waiting for this since Smallville's Supergirl. They need to add more heroine's to the show too.

[@MsSelAce]

jaureguibello808 Supergirl vs Batgirl and throw in Harley Quinn

[@dydb3]

jaureguibello808 WOW that'll be AMAZING

[@MsSelAce]

dydb3 Omg right?? they would rack in so many views!

[@iraschwartz4574]

They added Lucy Lane aka superwoman

[@MsSelAce]

Ira Schwartz Omfg, really? for a second their i saw Wonder Woman, but that's wishful thinking. It would have fit in well though, since Wonder Woman does mentor Kara. But Supwerwoman is good too :)

[@iraschwartz1042]

TV line thanks for the great interview. She's so cute I can't wait for the October priemer

[@irfanete]

I love everyone of this guys...soooooo much....

[@lindseymiller9704]

this is my birthday present can't wait

[@CamillaHeggoy]

OMG! YAAAY! WOW! This cast is the BEST! I LOVE these guys SO MUCH! :O :))

[@averyd9572]

I love Winn

[@EdwardSanchezProductions]

Great interview

[@AndrewJamison79]

I want that Bacon Shirt!

[@emmabullman368]

This was posted on my birthday!!

[@steelsheen]

watching this vid 8 months after its published. man this cast was totally underplaying the awesomeness that came through in S1 haha! 💕 still don't trust CBS for anything, one bad season and they'll axe this show for dumbass reasons. I know about the budget perks but I still think this should've gone to CW. maybe WB should make the CW budget way bigger so it can be the BOSS of all geekery on TV.

[@demoraewen2174]

steelsheen it went to cw

[@sarahannepeck2109]

Hmm, maybe they read your comment and thought you had a good point.

[@barbarawhite932]

We all want to make out with Supes! Perfect!😂😊

[@fabulousmyriad267]

Barbara White Melissa 's reaction was the best followed by Jeremy's "What is wrong with you?"

[@Lestrangest]

Did anyone notice she just told a bigass spoiler about Hank Henshaw being Martian Manhunter?? We didn't even know he was an alien at the time and she just said "All these are DC names" referring to Kara, Jimmy and Hank. Which meant he had a secret identity...

[@EthanLesley]

JEREMY, PLEASE!

[@yassvaritaass]

Jeremy omg im dying 😭

[@iraschwartz1042]

omg people get over the Jimmy thing this is about supergirl. The interface was great and I think the cast fact like each other. The show will going to be awesome, wait till you see the villains they have lined up including MaxLord, Reacting ( episode 3) and Live Wirer. Supergirl you rock

[@simrandeol5898]

Super friends forever

[@courtneypierce1578]

[@gturner8431]

0:17 😂😂

[@mohamedkhalil4579]

Mechad brooks: I'm looking forward for my make out scenes with superman

[@mexic8l]

Wtf??? Why weren't the below questions asked to the cast? 1. If they knew if "Superman" was going to appear at all in any following season besides his appearance in the "pilot episode" not showing his face? 2. Is "Hank Henshaw" end up becoming "Cyborg Superman"? 3. Might there be cross-over episodes in following seasons with the 2 superhero shows (including "dc's legends of tomorrow") that are airing on "the cw"?

[@iradschwartz5417]

Kenneth probably because at the time they didn't know. superman will not be seen unless it's like in the pilot. Hank Henshaw will probably be cyborg superman

[@Fazzel]

+Irad Schwartz -- David Harewood later admitted he had to lie through his teeth at Comic-Con about who this Hank Henshaw really is.

[@akaffe]

I like David's shirt

[@richellevalle6706]

pmg i watched supergirl how can you fly whar happed to your mother

[@Primo0897]

4:20 Mehcad mad stupid lmao 😂

[@rachelluptowski6800]

[@ashtonbishop5958]

I'm a huge fan of this show it shows that girls can do what boys can if you like this show follow me on instagram my nam is super supporter thanks

[@richellevalle6706]

omgggggggggggggggg

[@browntroutism]

Nobody was thinking race with Jimmy/Kara. Until glori had to spoil it and throw in a negative draging us back to the 50's by reminding us.

[@hellokitty-rt9gw]

Dude hanks actual voice he has an accent lmao

[@jilln.1761]

HES BRITISH

[@jomitorres]

4:12

[@KhalidAli-zp4ve]

Hahaha if only he turned into lois lane.

[@chatterjeeishita674]

the only thing i like about this show are the action scenes and melissa ofcourse. the dialogue writers have done a shitty job so far.

[@emilycosta2996]

vocês repararam que a Chyler fica mordendo a boca e olhando pras pernas da Melissa? kkkk

[@CYP0]

0:59 Fact: Melissa is not a natural blonde.

[@FPSONNY]

Blacks on Blondes cast interview 2015

[@alecris33]

I don't like this JImmy Olsen. He is bigger than Superman, and looks older than Calista. Bad choice.

[@bk-yf5tn]

older than her that's a bit much

[@alecris33]

That's call "ironic" Because he looks older than Supergirl.

[@bk-yf5tn]

alecris33 he is supergirl is the youngest

[@sapphael.]

Physical appearance aside though he had that sweet personality, he has a look of experience as this is after his time with Clark so he's not a small timid photographer, he has a Pulitzer. Also he has great chemistry with Kara and Win so I think he was the perfect choice.

[@alecris33]

Bad choice, even the real husband is a better choice for this role. Someone stronger but kind at the same time. The worst choice.

[@Cakebombize]

The pilot was fucking horrible. Cheesy and cringeworthy lines and a generic plot. The action scenes made me want puke. I was really excited but that excitement deflated like a balloon.

[@darthmanvader2360]

Cakebomb no it wasn't

[@iraschwartz4574]

Cake your nuts the pilot was great.It had everything.Action comedy and drama

[@Cakebombize]

Ira Schwartz It was HORRIBLE.

[@Kingwil497]

Ira Schwartz Dude the CGI for the plot alone didn't look good.

[@iraschwartz4574]

+damian michael In your opinion which I personally think is biased because your a Marvel fanboy So I'll say good bye and end this conversation

[@jadekyy]

It's amazing how you'd think that a character's accent would be the actor's normal accent but NOOP they are that amazing
