She is just such a thrill to watch!!!!!

[@Levi_Parish]

While i don’t in anyway disagree with you, just to add context, I’m gonna assume 50% of it is because Meryl Streep has been a household name longer. I think we both can determine where the other 50% comes from, unfortunately.

Viola is magnificent, I could listen to her talk about herself all day. She deserves all her flowers, her passion for acting and transforming into the character is ever present

Viola Davis always gave me the vibes of that really cool aunt that we always miss cuz shes just so busy but when she comes through shes the best.

[@steveosk8s]

I just said as a reply to another comment that she gives me neighborhood aunty vibes lol. That lady in the neighborhood who was always looking out for all us kids, feeding us, giving advice, etc.. Since most our parents worked until later.

[@ja2016ja]

Whenever I see her, even in interviews, I get slightly emotional. Cause I remember everything I’ve ever seen her in and every TV/movie scene that moved me because of her performance. Amazing person. This was a treat to watch. 🎉

[@pattyvaldivia4043]

I love this Octavia Spencer, Queen Viola Davis. She is truly great. When she speaks, it's like hearing a poem.❤

[@Misterwhites]

I’ve watched this show for many years and I gotta say, Viola Davis hit this one out of the park. What a wonderful episode

[@QuentinBuetow1970]

@Democrats Lie - So … why not just belly crawl away and go live your existence out in a cave surrounded by all the low-vibrational cretins and troglodytes you prefer to be around? Go find your safe space and contemplate the acrid putrescence emanating from your sweaty, lint-filled belly button.

[@ChipMunky]

First time I've actually noticed Sean be nervous at the start of an interview. Killed it as usual. Viola is supreme.

[@jessicaterry6674]

An absolute BEAST!! Truly one of the most enjoyable episodes to watch. Viola is such an wonderful human!

[@elsareza3143]

I love how she keeps saying, “Did I tell you…” like if they are family, love that!

I got goosebumps when Viola gave the speech at the end about being yourself. Thank you for allowing us to see this keep the amazing interview coming. You are the best sean.

[@jm2307]

Same here, that speech was beautiful!

[@danhightower2650]

Joseph Campebll's Hero With a Thousand Faces is where she gets much of that from. It's not the most accessible book, but the juice is worth the squeeze. Countless storytellers have used the Hero Myth, or monomyth, as fodder for storytelling. And for good reason, check it out if you want to get into the concept. She delivered it well though. Cheers

[@BeheadedKamikaze]

Totes. That was one of the greatest speeches I think anyone has ever given.

[@wifeunderthesea]

i used to live a few houses down from viola. she is honestly the most normal, down-to-earth person, ever. i honestly wish she was my grandmother. she's so loving and kind and i know she'd always lead me in the right direction in life.

[@jleighwolfe]

The premise of this show seems simple and fun. Eat hot sauce and answer questions. But there's something beautiful that happens in these episodes where these celebrities walls get broken down and you get to see their genuine personalities that you just don't get anywhere else. And that's beautiful.

[@SauerKream]

Wow, I am blown away. This just instantly became one of my favorite Hot Ones interviews of all time (right up there with Paul Rudd). Viola's answers are so fluid, she answers Sean's questions so naturally and so casually, but without being cavalier. I was glued to my screen the whole time because her answers were just so genuine, and genuinely interesting. I thought I was a good communicator, but I just witnessed what real communication looks like. She offers so many important details in each of her responses and she does it just so effortlessly, it was immensely satisfying to watch. And her answer for Sean's last question was just so amazing and perfect. I loved hearing her thoughts and opinions on the entertainment industry, and also how things operate behind the scenes. But most importantly I really feel like I truly learned something from her last answer. I'm going to have to remind myself to periodically check back at 22:13, especially when life gets heavy, to remind myself about the journey.

Hands down THE BEST EPISODE i've EVER watched of your show! i could listen to her talk all day and never get bored at all! Viola is a wonderful life couch! people need to watch and educate themselves on how to live and express yourself in the most honest and respectful way and once you do that your life would be much better and happier! ♥ watching it the second time and it only gets better! thank you for this rich wholesome episode! 🥰👍

Good on Sean to genuinely answer the question “did I ever tell you I had a panic attack?” 😂
