I seriously like Melissa. Everyone be nice to her.

[@whiqeddik7615]

Lol y

[@md11x6]

Me too!

[@linnycrocus6023]

I got drunk and emailed her that she inspires me and that I named my house plant after her. I think she may be creeped out now.

[@timsalvador2592]

@@linnycrocus6023 whoa where can I find her email address

[@bobaphet4125]

Salty Sea of Tears agrees with Herd Mentality

[@adolfopena7358]

She's one of my favorite people on SNL. She's so underrated.

[@andymaq]

Underrated AND underutilized.

[@dannydorko7075]

It's sad because the only non impression related thing she did with significance was the bedroom talk skits. I wish she got a chance to do some characters.

[@rayh.8456]

She seems so giddy and nervous talking to Conan, it's pretty adorable

[@MrGopalrockz]

she brought it up on her instagram, yeah its pretty adorable - she was nervous. It's conan after all, haha

[@samanthamaynard4447]

I've never joined Reddit for anything, but I might have to sign up for Conan. Thanks for letting us know about it!

[@JammastaJ23]

It's kind of easy to forget what a comedy titan Conan is.

[@ossapinhosfazemhumah]

if you can watch Melissa laughing and not love her at least a little bit, you might be dead inside

[@kevoramma]

i AM dead inside and yet she brings me joy.

[@UHFStation1]

I died in my early 30s, but her smile melts my heart.

[@mikew9468]

She has an intoxicating laugh and giggle and always makes me smile.😁

[@sadstormtrooper]

Melissa deserves more recognition. She is a really talented impressionist

[@MsBellatrixa]

Conan looks like he's on Survivor

Nailed it! 😅

[@reychafamex9450]

Hahaha, he frickin' does!😂🤣

[@patricklee802]

It’s such a contrast because in interviews she laughs all the time but watching her in SNL skits, she never breaks character. So great.

[@asdabir]

Pat Lee I feel like she takes her job seriously at SNL and does not take it for granted. I wish more of her skits would make it to the show.

[@AaronRClark]

She's a professional. And because I know she's a type of person to read thru the comments: hi, Melissa, your family and friends are proud of you. --- From a random internet stranger.

[@CartmanMorisato]

That's a professional that is still down to Earth. I'm sure she was geeking out that she was on Conan.

[@JamesCurtisOKC]

She nails John Mulaney's facial expressions.

[@kez7225]

It was the most beautiful thing I saw today haha it was a bangon impression

[@kevinheller5414]

Crushing hard here. That laugh and smile. Wow. And she is ssoooo friggin' funny.

[@JT_WARCRIME]

Welcome to the club! You can join us on leaving comments on every SNL video about how they don't use her enough. There's a lot of us.

[@linnycrocus6023]

Look up a video of her pretending to be Zoey Deschanel. You're welcome.

[@rhllnm]

Yep, gorgeous.

[@CartmanMorisato]

You're not alone.

[@patterjak]

Well, she's beautiful, but also really really cute on top, so there's that.

[@TrickyNick79]

I love when she asked whether she could call him Conan and was only half joking.

[@timdahl]

Melissa is a treasure. What a human!

[@Applxy354]

You can tell she can't believe that Conan is interviewing her. She is so nervous. Cute

[@marias7599]

I noticed too. She must be a big fan.

[@adamantium7]

she absolutely nails Mulaney's intonation and cadence

[@garrettneiss7297]

I love Melissa SO MUCH! Her warm personality and demeanor is so calming and comforting.

[@kerch-e]

If you enjoyed Melissas interview ( which was great and groovy ) check out her podcast 'Laughing with Myself' ! It's hilarious and a ton of fun.

[@Lonely3rrior]

She’s so talented and beautiful 😍 Her Smile made my day.

[@mcfc6320]

Melissa is so awesome. So genuine with an infectious laugh. I hope she has a long career ahead of her. She would probably be a great late night host or something quick witted like that.

[@md11x6]

Gotta get Melissa on Conan Needs a Friend!

[@tay8003]

I love how while Conan’s introducing her you can hear her giggling in excitement in the background 😭 love that for her

[@joegee1000]

She's so smoothly and naturally hilarious

[@SimBol1216]

I've always found her adorable and this interview only fueled that. 😖

[@juanjulianbarrion2202]

I don't think I've ever gone from not knowing who somebody is to liking them so much so quickly Lol

[@BarrySmithviolin]

[@marcuswarme704]

Melissa laughing is the first time I see someone on camera reflect my emotion when I watch Conan

[@LamaMama26]

I love that she dropped Guitar Center instead of Amazon like anyone else would have

[@Footjones]

I loved her before, even more so now!

[@thhanh1003]

I love Melissa AND Conan, I'm so happy to see that they actually like each other

[@ThatBlevinsGuy]

In the show’s 44-year history, "SNL" has had three Latino cast members: The Chilean-born American actor Horatio Sanz (1998 to 2006); Fred Armisen, whose mother is Venezuelan (2002 to 2013); and Melissa Villaseñor, a Mexican American comic who joined the show in 2016.

[@juniper617]

She’s the first Latina.

[@jamesCamali]

latina, female

[@adamc5983]

3 in a 44 year history is simply insufficient. SNL is failing the Latino community. Btw: Julio Torres, a brilliant writer, is of Salvadoran decent. Although not a cast member, he wrote some of the best skits on SNL.

[@AkiroKiro]

Love her, so great to see her finally on Conan! Bit of a shame it's not exactly "full interview", seems like there were some cuts after all, but i guess there were good reasons for it

[@That_Lady_Charlie]

Zoom isn't perfect 😕

[@jerrisongrimminck4484]

She's great.

[@upland77]

If Conan ever interviewed me, for whatever reason, I'd keep laughing like Melissa 😂😂😂

[@benb6527]

I love that she's obviously enjoying talking to him. I sure would, if I get the chance to talk to either of them!

[@osiris_blanche]

ALL of her interviews are great and she can't stop laughing!

[@avocadomonkey4892]

So glad to see Melissa here! She's so warm and seems to enjoy life so much. I loved her stories and impressions of her parents, esp her mom, haha! Enjoyed hearing a little about how she gets into her characters. Looking forward to seeing the full version of her Lin-Manuel Miranda!

[@LokiDWolf-im7jg]

Melissa's laughing being so sincere. She seems like such a wonderful person. She's sensitive and funny. Pretty and creative. Just a great combo all around!

[@JJ-ks9ry]

She's cute when she giggles ❤️

[@sveerdlov1917]

I feel up and in a great mood watching Melissa Villaseñor work and smile.When she mentions her 'kid energy' I thought it a perfect description for how infectious her joy can be.

[@dudeson53]

I remember seeing her on AGT years ago and after watching her live at small clubs back in Cali. One time Melissa mentioned her youtube channel and I went home after the show and watched a few of her videos. It's crazy how a girl working retail made it to SNL. Great for her!

[@C-5Arts]

I cannot help but smile huge when I watch Melissa. She's just so freakin' adorable. Hey Melissa, America loves you! I wish you the best in 2021 and to you, too, Conan.

[@johndenicola6173]

I could listen to her laugh all day! She appreciates good humor and conversation, so transparent and real (and a wonderful smile to boot!) ! She certainly has not let her fame go to her head. If you haven't seen it, She was interviewed by (or more chatted with) Jerry Seinfeld on "Comedians in Cars Drinking Coffee." It was my introduction to her -- As well as taking part in the numorous moments in the show, She giggled through most of the show - totally adorable!

[@ChrisKewl]

She's a treat, so funny and a cutie. You just want to hug her and be her best friend.

[@skykingusa]

She is a breath of fresh air. Great.

[@elchuyito355]

So proud of her! Good Hispanic representation. Make us proud!

[@That_Lady_Charlie]

Melissa is so endearing! she deserves every bit of her fame.

[@aurtherbrunt241]

What a delightful lady. Not seen her before in Australia.

[@timvanboening9432]

You should look up some of her Saturday Night Live skits. She does one with Donald Glover, where they’re in bed and he wants to do some dirty talk, and she says horrible things. Great skit.

[@fitojb]

Couldn’t help but smile at the screen during the whole video!

[@mkspencer88]

thanks Conan for having the SNL comedians tell their own stories.

[@epbmetal7399]

I don't know who she is but I loved her smile.

[@Kat_Rat1998]

conan, thank you for interviewing her. this is the best interview I have seen of her asking about her work, and her background. I have been following her since her AGT performance. she is great! .

[@xyzcomp08]

This is fun to watch, because I went to a lot of her early shows and got to know her family. She's as real as it gets! I remember getting invited to House of Pies in LA after a show one time... good memories! Just a local Latina from Whittier!

[@lucaboruk1842]

I think everyone remembers her debut in America's got talent, when I saw her, I said; "that girl's going to be a star", and she did it. What I admire most about Melissa is her impressions, they're so cool, if I could choose one of her imitations, that would be Christina Aguilera impression. Every time I see her doing that impression, I feel amazed because, it's so authentic, I truly love her.
