Taika Waititi - “Next Goal Wins” and “Our Flag Means Death” | The Daily Show

[@aleks-33]

I'm so so happy to hear Leslie Jones let Spanish Jackie get to her head cuz she DESERVES 20 HUSBANDS 😂😂😂😂 Srsly tho, I'm happy to see her love the show and the character as much as us.😊

[@anarey-oktay2683]

That character is so tailor made for Leslie. It’s brilliant!

[@suzannewilson9918]

Her enthusiasm is so warm and happy, I love her!

[@katietoole8345]

He is so hot as Blackbeard, and Spanish Jackie is such a bomb character.

[@ellespencer8563]

Dude Blackbeard is an insane thirst trap

[@saucierspoons]

I love them together so much, and it’s so fun when Taika is around people he genuinely enjoys interacting with and can just be his ridiculous adorable self.

[@RenewAsACrew]

It’s so fun to see Taika and Leslie talking about #OurFlagMeansDeath! Hopefully we get to see them on screen together again in OFMD Season 3!

[@juicesnap]

Leslie and Taika's happiness in this interview is so contagious and nice. I was honestly feeling a little down today but this, seeing 2 people genuinely enjoy each other, put a smile on my face.

[@ridgeranch4]

Bless you Leslie and Taika for spreading the OFMD love! It is not talked about enough and did not get as much promotion because of the strike! Now is the time to let the cast hype it up!

[@datgrrl_official]

ofmd has been spoken of freely...only the states went on strike, the other 95% of the planet carried on...cor blimey, we did it before you and will do it without you...planet earth; doing it w/o the states...

[@Therealmykag]

I LOVE Taika Waititi’s humor. I was already a huge fan of What We Do In The Shadows but OFMD is in my top shows of all time!!! Don’t even get me started on Taika as Blackbeard 🥵🔥

[@Room142]

If you have not watched Our Flag Means Death, you are seriously missing out so much. It is so so funny.

Con O'Neill deserves an Emmy for this 2nd season. Our Flag Means Death is such a great show!

[@irisbjones]

And a Grammy for that performance of la vie en rose

[@SG-oq1ln]

The thirst for Taika "I have heart eyes" Waititi is too real. Props to Leslie for saying out loud what we've all been thinking; this cat is up there with all the fine wines and cheese, daring to get better with age. (As a biracial pacific islander myself, I know how fine we are!) Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go take a cold shower before I erupt from all this heat.

[@bozhijak]

WORD!!!!!!!!!!!

[@koguma8823]

FINALLY THEY GET TO TALK ABOUT OFMD! brilliant show, go watch it if you haven't already. taika is exquisite as ed and leslie as spanish jackie is an ICON 🔥 i'm so glad they got the chance to talk about the show because everyone in the cast seems to love it SO much. here's to many more interviews and, most importantly, a third season!! #renewasacrew

[@GargLassie]

FINALLY someone lets him talk about Our Flag Means Death! They have such great chemistry and both love the show so much, it warms my heart.🥰🥰🥰

[@skylerwitherspoon]

"spot the hetero" is so real. also leslie saying "blackbeard and rhys" neither leslie jones nor spanish jackie will ever remember stede's name ksdfjlsjd

[@MrsWmson]

Genital Pirate Steve!

[@poopsonastick13]

I was waiting for her to say Steve 🤣

[@LoverlyLivia]

What a great interview, Leslie is so funny and charming and Taika was gorgeous and funny. Leslie should do this as much as she wants she’s killing it!

[@dumbalek6001]

Im so happt to finallt see a Taika interview that mentions our flag means death. This show is so wonderful and there's so little interviews/promotions on it. And Leslie's character is so COOL and fun I'm so glad to hear about them talk about it 🥰

[@whimsicalhamster88]

All I wanted was these two to talk about Our Flag Means Death.

[@DNTXPCTMCH]

I love Taika. He's the type of person that makes my day better. If more people were like him, the world would be a better place.

[@melaber77]

10/10 interview, thank you for putting these two people together in a room again and letting us watch the magic!

[@chaotic-neutral-knitter758]

loved to hear them talk about Blackbeard and Spanish Jackie - can't wait wait to see a third season of Our Flag Means Death!

[@Natalie_5126]

“Spot the hetero” my man gets it

[@shahrazed1000]

I love Taika Waititi! One of my favorite entertainers. I'm seriously obsessed with Our Flag Means Death 😂🎉 The show lives rent free in my head

[@traceykerr9049]

Leslie! Spanish Jackie is everything. So awesome to see Leslie and Taika talk about OFMD!!!

[@amyg7567]

It’s so great to see them talk about Our Flag Means Death and see that they love it as much as the fans do. It’s such an amazing, hilarious show.

[@DXTRIPLEHBK]

OFMD is the best show on television!!! I'm actually super excited about "Next Goal Wins". It looks so fun and sweet.

[@aarontelander]

One of my absolute favorite directors 🥰

[@liamcarey6252]

I was one of Spanish Jackie's husband's in the new season of Our Flag Means Death. Got to do a very small scene with Taika

[@historychannel365]

Now, these two are like the realization of my fever dream; I could watch them for hours on end!

[@olbblo8018]

I love how leslie loves everything about the show she is one of us 😅

[@randomrebecka6778]

My favorite Director of all time, and I love both Thor movies. People seem to forget how much trouble Covid was during all of that.

[@Infinite_Ethan03]

COVID has nothing to do with Thor 4 being the garbage it was. 💀

[@HypocritesExposd]

Thor 3 was one of the best in the MCU and Thor 4 is one of the worst.

[@weebpotato2366]

I recommend watching our flag means death

[@billsgotmedointhis]

I'm Samoan and I can't wait to watch this movie. Alofa Taika!!!

[@teresaoliveira494]

So much love for OFMD between those two. They just got the questions about "Next Goal Wins" (which I can't wait to watch) out of the way so they can talk about OFMD. Great interview, brings a smile to my face. Also, Leslie, how does it feel to be so right and correct 6:56 ?

[@williamhornabrook8081]

Next Goal Wins looks like it's going to be a fun one. It looks quite evocative of his earlier work like Boy. I think Jojo Rabbit and Thor: Ragnarok were fantastic movies, but I REALLY adore the more quaint local films he made before he blew up big overseas.

[@philoctetes_wordsworth]

Jojo Rabbit.

[@weebpotato2366]

I recommend watching our flag means death

[@calpurniabruchi5742]

Boy was just the best movie ever

[@kathybell6268]

I have loved every Taika has made/performed in! I am seeing his new movie today! I loved their conversation!

[@Haromour]

Our Flag Means Death is my favorite show on TV right now, it's so wholesome and adorable

[@lesleyallerby1295]

Leslie, you need to spend more time in New Zealand, we have many fine people.

[@JL-rt9mi]

Fantastic interview, so wonderful to see them talk st length about their genuine love for the best show on TV, Our Flag Means Death!

[@journalwithrach7611]

I love how passionate Taika and Leslie are about the show, and they’re both sooo funny! I also loved when Taika shouted out the fan art of the show it was so wholesome❤ I NEED this show to have a season 3!!❤

[@vaniprod]

OK so this is like my fever dream come true ❤ I could watch these two for hours!!

[@BasesLoadedLacquer]

noooooo! this was way too short! i needed like twenty more minutes of blackbeard/spanish jackie shenanigans! 😭

[@ellespencer8563]

They vibe so well

[@Hklbrries]

Saw ‘Next Goal Wins’ already - so much fun! Thanks, Taika! Looking forward to more from you! 💕

I love this Spanish Jackiesque ensemble Leslie has on!

[@jessicatorres8159]

The fact that Taika is so silly just makes him so much hotter.

[@JustHereForCats]

I love him so much!!! He is so hilarious and charming 😭💕

[@uhnoobuhs]

I loved this interview so much 😂❤

[@suzannewilson9918]

The group of New Zealanders he came up with are overwhelmingly talented!!! Jemaine, Bret and Rhys make magic! What We Do In The Shadows deserved Golden Globes mentioning!!

[@mlong1968]

I get you, Taika. I've caught my reflection and thought, "What's up, girl?" Ha ha ha

[@lubnachitalwalla]

I don’t always watch the interviews but if Taika and Leslie were to just sit in silence for 8 minutes I would be there for it.

[@robotdowney]

Thank you Leslie for that last question :D

Taika , beautiful being 👌

I honestly can't tell if he's childishly energetic or high off this gourd 😅😅😅

[@claritybadb]

Same! 😂😂

[@RebecaReyes-vl3nq]

Probably a little of both! 😊😊😂😂

[@aleks-33]

He doesn't look particularly high here, just giddy to finally talk about OFMD and chuffed to bits he gets to do it with Leslie who he spent months filming ofmd With :)

[@DXTRIPLEHBK]

It's called ADHD. lol!

[@lakethefrog]

​​@@DXTRIPLEHBKi was about to say that

[@alexisdvorkin6611]

I've been really wanting to watch Only Flags. And now that I know Leslie is in it, I absolutely have to see it!

[@Kinikkanak]

I love that he is still seemingly normal, comparatively.
