Max Greenfield Is a TikTok Sensation

[@justinwork7295]

Max and Mayim would make a great married Jewish couple on a sitcom, so funny together

[@fornitegood122jr6]

Mayim hosting jeopardy

[@EzeryFaith]

Absolutely

[@KamInBim]

I'd watch the hell out of that lol

[@516tigergirl]

I was going to say that

[@Tao_Tology]

Brother and sister.

[@a.schmidt3096]

It was actually so nice to have Jewish culture spoken about a bit!! In these interviews celebrities always talk about their holiday celebrations, why shouldn’t we? And James should’ve used the opportunity to ask questions instead of moving on from it- why not learn?

[@skate4463]

He was so weird about it. Like even if you don't have any banter to add just be like "wow cool"

[@crimps321]

Because James is a terrible host.

[@veronicaguyader9997]

Brits are a little weird with jewish folks

[@laneldacaples8070]

While I could be wrong, I read his response as cautiously respectful. Comedians’ go-to response is to make jokes, but when you are not educated about the culture and not a member of the culture, jokes can go bad very quickly - especially in a world that seems primed to antisemitism. I agree that this would have been a great opportunity to foster a better understanding of Jewish culture, but I can respect him wanting to avoid making a comment in ignorance that could be construed as racist.

[@ginat.8064]

@@laneldacaples8070 i agree! Sometimes you can be wary of asking the wrong questions, too. I think James handled it well, playing off of his own ignorance. Max and Mayim talked about it on her podcast and said they had so much fun, too.

[@user_mll374]

The shofar part is comedy GOLD!!!!! 🤣 Their high-five at the end, was like 2 little kids!! And James was their dad...😂🤣

[@Kat-il4ix]

we need Mayim and Max in a project together 😂

[@SchalaKid]

Four months later, and Max Greenfield guested on Mayim Bialik’s podcast! Woot! 🥳 An awesomely full circle moment-you could tell in this clip here that these two would get along swimmingly. ☀️❤️

[@bryancash8251]

See now I was listening to the podcast and now I’m looking up this video lol

[@juliannalighty7064]

The silence of James Corden is absolutely amazing! I don’t think I’ve ever seen him speechless before

[@florsanroman1827]

Loved LOVED the stuff about synagogue and shofar-blowing! The whole audience being totally silent because they had no idea how to react but were just taking it in was awesome! I learned so much in the first three minutes of this video. the tiktok stuff was pointless.

[@maryjosmith2508]

It was awesome.

[@DancerMusicanActress]

I love how James is totally stuck on the ram's horn

[@xoxoevol8682]

Max doesnt and will never understand how much we love him like he doesn’t seem to grasp it which makes it that much better

[@alyseh9539]

I've been in love with him since he played Officer Leo on Veronica Mars!!!

[@bexyPTX]

It’s so cool that they had two Jews on the show together to talk about Rosh Hashanah - I’m Jewish and I love both of them and how they represent Judaism to the general public

[@wildcrocus]

Such a shame this happened on a LA show. It was just the wrong live audience. I have a feeling it would have landed in NYC.

[@melissacoviello2886]

I came and found this clip because of a short that Mayim put up where they were explaining how his dad loved this segment. I had to see it for myself.

[@sabriinam3]

i was waiting for him to say “judaism son” 😭😂

[@libertyordeath8338]

She is so vibrant, that everyone around her has fun because of her! 🥰🥰🥰

[@anonymous5583]

Now reimagine this whole encounter but with Jimmy Fallon, he'd be eating this up.

[@ru_by_ru_by]

Imagine these two interviewed by Grahan Norton! hahaha

[@ExGoose1231]

am I the only one that thought james corden was super weird through this whole interview

[@funkycacahuete2933]

It says a lot about his personality. I’m not Jewish and while I don’t know the intricate details of a Jewish religious service, I’d like to think I could come up with something better than dead silence. Just makes him look like a dull potato who can’t go off script

[@inhaledexhaled5460]

@@funkycacahuete2933 completely agree. It shows his disinterest but even i know how to converse with someone whos passionate abt smth i could care less about. He gets paid to do it and struggled

[@rivertam7827]

I wish Graham Norton was interviewing them, it would have been brilliant, even more funny and he could have kept them going longer

[@oldiebutgoodie2554]

You just figuring the weird part out!?

[@kathleenshaw932]

James Cordens confusion added to the humor!

[@Alekaie]

This was such awkward and terrible hosting. Mayim and Max were carrying the interview themselves for the first half there, so awkward. They shouldn't have to do that. And then being told James has nothing to offer is one big way to shut down a conversation that his guests were clearly enjoying.

[@saritshull3909]

In fairness it’s a part of our culture that very few non Jews know about. The only thing most people know about RH is that it’s new year and very holy. And that’s usual where it ends.

[@김태연-i3y5s]

Agreed literally skipped to the TikTok part 😂 they looked like they were having fun but I cringed with the James bit

[@vyrnius]

I am not a fan of Corden but he acted properly. he has no idea what both of them were talking about but he let them enjoy theirself ofc he could have been better (way better) but it wasn't terrible

[@R3troguy]

I don't think it was that awkward, I'd say it actually worked in the show's favour. They both knew they were wandering into territory completely unknown to the host and the audience, and played it off with such panache and fun. James Corden looking completely lost added so much, it didn't detract from anything. As for the cutoff, he came in and steered things back on track at the right time. Definitely non standard for late night TV, but such a delight.

[@swavimaroo]

I think he acted correctly. He didn't interrupt, he let them have their thing to which he couldn't add anything. What else do you expect

[@TNK689]

This was too good. 😂 The shofar bit was so funny 🤣

[@littlesushi7503]

I love how everyone was so confused about the shofar. We have a very interesting indigenous culture.

[@Angel-te2jt]

I don’t know how or if ppl were, James just couldn’t keep with their funniness!

[@randomly_rebecca]

I laughed so hard when the camera moved to James after all that Shofar talk 🤣🤣🤣 Mayim Bialik is such a queen!

[@luney4tunes88]

this is why I feel bad for my fellow gentiles who didn't grow up with a whole bunch of Jewish friends. i fucking love Jewish culture, and these two basically just having their own show while James is the guest 😂

[@AshleyBitton]

I love Mayim, just saw her in a Groundlings improv show last week, so good!! 👏👏👏👏👏and she's so talented, I had no idea she was a shofar blower 🤯🤯🤯 Her and Max are great together, the mitvah we didn't even know we needed! Mazel! 💜

[@KenniethJones]

🤣🤣 I absolutely LOVED this interview. I love our people and our culture. ❤️✡️🇮🇱. James was clueless which made it hilarious. Educate the people Max and Mayim.

[@MsWatermonkey]

Schmidt in the distance: "JUDAISM SON!!"

[@Jazzmynerain]

Loolllllll! Be my friend! 😂🙌

[@christinamcallister3791]

I need more Mayim and Max. And, yes, I've already seen the podcast episode. Please, sir, may I have some more?

[@mikanadav1488]

The first 3 minutes are gold

[@danielsos9824]

extended shofar bits is extremely my shit. thank you max and mayim

[@Felilaa]

I’m still waiting for James to wish Max a happy new year too? 🤔

[@blaque843]

Yeah he seem not very nice towards max here.smh

[@theemmengard4144]

Did he not know he was Jewish? That was so weird.

[@vamanosninja4143]

His daughter was right he would be a hit on Tik Tok

[@cmakbb9]

This is one of my fave interviews ever 😂

[@margaretefreund8958]

this video should be renamed Mayim Bialik's Yemenite Shofar

[@Hnnhjoy88]

At the beginning-im pretty sure James thought Max was making a joke … maybe he didn’t realize - oh he is actually Jewish!

[@aaronwaterman3888]

I’m pretty sure James didn’t know Max was Jewish and that’s why he didn’t wish him Shana Tova. And then when he realized he is Jewish, he felt really awkward

[@Sydney-xi8vw]

"I'd watch that ten million times"

[@calidofrio13]

lmao they just faded out in the middle of the conversation at the end

[@WahooNikki]

That cracked me up! They're like, no one's watching that show...

Anytime I see him it just makes me miss Schmidt :(

[@susanrobinson3375]

I think it looks like a man having a break down 😂😂😂😂 I’m dead ☠️

Can Mayim and Max take over for James? At least they’re nice people off camera, and hilarious on camera 😂.

[@Maya-kg1rq]

I did NOT KNOW this was the jewish content I needed so grateful to max and mayim for talking about this, wish james would have at least tried to look interested but its his last season for a reason ig

[@MarleneRodriguez711]

I HAVE A JEWISH TEACHER WHO TAUGHT US ALL THAT STUFF I WOULD HAVE BEEN SO HYPE IN THAT CROWD. MY VERY OWN "SPEAK VALENTINA" "ALLY!" MOMENT

[@Adrienne557]

James couldn't be more English here. They kicked out all the Jews in 1290 and have suffered since.

[@LanieClause]

Was it just me, or was James snubbing Max at the beginning of the interview? He literally looked at him and said no.

[@brandibeach9934]

That just put the biggest smile on my face.

[@rivertam7827]

I went to look up the interview, these two were great, James Corden was completely hopeless

[@interestedobserver587]

As usual. Corden always tries to make the interview focus on him. Graham Norton interviews are so much better.

[@susieb7305]

Everyone was genuine...this was lovely!!!

[@skate4463]

James taking a second to try to figure out if Max is Jewish at the start

[@colievalette]

Never heard of a shofar, but I’m definitely gonna find some temple videos to see what’s good.

[@Thekidfromcalifornia2.0]

James cordon is coming off insensitive to the Jewish community and looks disgusted. He hates being out of the loop.

[@deavman]

My reaction: tekiah--trouah-- tekiah gedolah.

Reggie looks like he just came from The Three Amigos reboot! 🤣

[@claqui]

I'm a fan of James! First time I saw him clueless and speechless LOL! Didn't know that Mayan is a shofar blower! I love our Jewish culture! James could explore more about it, maybe Mayan could invite him and teach more about our traditions, just an idea... Shana Tova Umetuka from JLM!

[@y2k2all]

Her name is Mayim מים

[@interestedobserver587]

James doing what he does best, ie sucking the joy out of the moment.

[@theyblamejames1651]

Why was there so much tension? Or am I just too high

[@FLUFFERKINZ]

Nope. There’s definitely weird tension because Corden doesn’t know how to loop both of his guests into a single conversation or how to react on the fly.

[@skylar0628]

JUDAISM, SON!

[@kelleymasters1522]

They should do a show or a movie together that would be great.

[@EL-bz9up]

Best interview

[@melissamay8188]

I❤Max!

[@wilhelmina8843]

James was NOT being weird. He reacted like a normal person who is a third wheel all of a sudden in a very funny situation. That interview went off the rails ( in a funny but weird way) and he verbally and facially expressed it - maybe even exaggerated it - for the comedic effect. When he wished her a happy new year for Rosh Hashanah, I bet no one thought this was where the interview was going to spiral. It was interesting and informative and you want to be respectful but it was also chaotic hilarity and they were laughing so hard it was a little hard to follow - I was laughing partly because they were laughing but I didn’t understand how it got to this point (metaphorically speaking) So James reacted just fine.

[@stephaniejimenezducas]

Mayim and max definitely should have a comedy show together hitting on the Jewish faith ❤❤lol 😂 It would be hilarious!!!!

[@osetia20]

They could be siblings ❤

[@rivka_sos]

james couldnt be moe awkward if he tried

[@susieb7305]

Love his admission of his awkwardness 💕

[@kenyawhite3864]

They're great. Mayim so lovely.

[@funchik93]

I don't understand James's reaction to them - he could've made it so much funnier if he would've asked questions and tried to learn instead of looking at his cards. The Jimmy's would've milked this!

[@RikudAtlanta]

This was great for our Jewish audience!

[@xavierrobinson9126]

Where was the throw to Ian 'bar mitzvah'ed and everything' Karmel during this segment???

[@akhilat]

James's vibe to guy is coldddd

[@Rae8Anne]

Yah, I came here to say that too. Did we miss something? Was that an act or what was up with that?

[@melody_shmelody]

I was thinking that first but then it seemed more…confused?

[@PartimeCurator]

Tbh..James just isn’t an entertainer, He wasn’t made for a talk show

[@shiragoldmusic]

As a jew, I can confirm everything they said is correct

[@lyricsangel85]

[@sarahgowon7258]

Loved this interview

[@dylans.1741]

If you live in the Hudson Valley like I do, you can really tell that Max Greenfield is from Westchester

[@funkycacahuete2933]

Being a gentile is not really a reason to not be a good interviewer. You can get a lot from context. Ok they’re clearly talking about part of their religious ceremony. But the dead silence. Just goes to show he can’t do or say anything that’s off script.

[@izindawo8363]

Sometimes it's okay to just enjoy your guests. You don't have to be performing aka be 'funny' all the time. You'll be able to ask better questions and not be awkward lol. Lesson learned. All good. Shout out to the Jewish power team.

[@interestedobserver587]

Corden always tries to make the interview turn to him.

What’s good with James’ horrible hosting, He can do better than this

[@alicerp2008]

After watching the original video, this is more hilarious

[@Sam-dh2ki]

I wish James would have instead been more interested in their Jewish identity, instead of trying so hard to change the conversation and then labeling the video after tiktok. James has a platform to interview people and share to the world, a world that doesn’t really understand what a Jewish person is, and instead he made it clear he doesn’t care to know so why should others. There’s more to the world than tiktok. Amazing interview until James ruined it.

[@odeleya1768]

I do agree, but there is a video with two other people, Ben Platt and Zoe Duetch singing their “Yom Kippur song” And James seemed pretty interested in it as far as I remember. I think it was just that that was probably a planned bit and this wasn’t and James just couldn’t or didn’t want to go offscript which was annoying. I absolutely love seeing Jewish celebrities talking about our culture on talk shows and it’s nice when the host makes it feel respected

[@mollypitcher9380]
