I think Melissa's charm is that every time she talks, she leaves obvious and hidden hints that she likes and loves people . No reservations or agendas, just respect and love for her fellow human. What an amazing quality.

[@dougimmel]

Wonderful observation ! I love the comments sections more than the videos.

[@sandradi7845]

[@janusatthegate6201]

Paintings should never be forgotten. Someone made that for a reason.

[@skate4463]

I was just thinking the same! I've never watched her interview before now, but it comes across in their new show too.

[@AyalahW]

Agree 100%

[@vt-yp7yq]

The chemistry that I watched between them on Bridesmaids was so wonderful. I'm happy for them and wish them many future happy years.

[@lynnyhen]

I love that she collects portraits of people she doesn't know! She doesn't want them to be forgotten!

[@youtubegirl4252]

So cool & sweet🌸💘

[@kareninalabama]

I'd love to see her meet some of the subjects of the portraits she has!

[@maryjohnson753]

She's from a suburb southwest of Chicago. So her midwestern roots are the reason, along with her parents.

[@ryanniv1851]

Melissa McCarthy is one of the greatest comedy actors. She needs to do another movie with Sandra Bullock

[@TheVintageSoul333]

Mike and Molly was hilarious I was so disappointed when that ended. You're right she is hilarious!

That would be great…love those two together! Melissa just seems so down to earth!!!

[@brentfisher6484]

I LOVED! The portraits story as Melissa describes it. I've had similar thoughts when I walk thru an art fair or a rummage sale. Very, very illuminating.

[@sarahparkinson1450]

I love that Melissa is still true to herself! She is so funny and amazing. I love how Ben Incorporates himself in his movies. They seem so much fun!

[@Liciablyth]

I first saw Melissa on The Gilmore Girls and she sparkled as she does all the time. She has such a power charge that shines through her gorgeous eyes and smile. Ben has a quieter style but certainly as enjoyable.

[@lisamarie1560]

I remember Melissa having a few lines in Charlie’s Angles and it was def memorable

[@Littlething41]

The Portraits could be the makings of Melissa's next Dark Comedy 😂😂😂

[@terryblair966]

Two of my favorite actors and writers. Top comedic writers.

[@annaloiacono7489]

Love Mellisa ...you know she has a big heart when she feels bad about a lonely picture of whomever and puts them on her wall. Or just completely nuts like all of my family. Lol

[@Jane_1776]

I had no idea that they were married. I just watched the show with both of them and thought they have great chemistry. They are a cute couple.

[@jchambers5668]

Usually he does a cameo in all her movies... So funny! 😁

Amazing, watching you guys from Spain.

[@rrrusty49]

That fish tale is endearing and familiar. When I was 6 or 7, I had a series of at least 3 tuxie kittens from neighborhood kids coming to the door with a box of kittens. I did NOT know how to be a responsible kitteh kid-parent -- I vaguely remember at least one kitty using the living room bark-chip planter as a litter box -- and "somehow" they all disappeared, one by one, after a few week/months. Decades later I asked my mom -- more than once -- what happened to Tuxie or Murphy. (There were at least 2 Tuxies, and a Murphy named after Murph the Surf.) Her answer was invariably "I don't know, they might have run away; I really don't remember." (She was always very convincing.) Me, I'm willing to swear on my 30-year-old Honda that she probably, kindly, took them to the local shelter.

[@janetDT1904]

Ahahahaha 😂 that fish story!

[@shellyreena2192]

LOL 😀 😆 that's the best... look the fish turned red 😳 🤣

[@jchambers5668]

Thank you James!! M&B: I always love seeing you two together. The new Netflix series with both of you is pretty funny. I see a few critics are not fans... (What's new...) Don't let them stifle you... 😊

Melissa is one of the best virgo's EVER in life.

[@jamiecolley1964]

I absolutely love Melissa, I have watched her since she has become known and they isn't a movie or series I don't own. In my movie collection I have just a spot for her movies and the series of Mike and Molly. I truly wished that series went on to show her have her own baby with Mike but I guess I can understand why she didn't want to continue if and only the rumor was true but it still would been truly awesome to see her and Mike become parents more so with there own bc they wanted to have one for so long and then end it with maybe them moving out of her mom's house and less not forget Victoria falling in love with a good person or even Carl ..lol but the show much go on and move on ...but truly would love to see her in a movie where she actually shows us her dance moves bc people say she can truly dance and stays on a dance floor when she goes to party LoL but totally agree needs to b another movie with Sandra

[@leannecasey2776]

I get the whole portrait thing….. hilarious and compassionate all at once… love it… 😂

[@shannamcmellon572]

I admit, when my son was about 4yrs old we had Nemo #1 and Nemo #2. He didn't know that at the time but luckily red beta fish are easy to replace. The hermit crab "Hermie" wasn't as lucky.
