The Interview That Goes Wrong with J.J. Abrams

[sianbennett-rodgers]

I'm kind of amazed people don't get this. One of their other productions, Peter Pan goes Wrong was on the BBC in the UK over Christmas and was brilliant, with great reviews. They're something of a theatrical phenomenon here, given they had 3 productions in the West End at once and all selling great.

[yehudalitke]

if they could accomplish that in 4 minutes of a talk show, I can only imagine how epic the Broadway show is

[HeroesFeastoes]

I have a complaint! I saw both Play That Goes Wrong and Comedy About a Bank Robbery and have internal injuries from laughing so hard! Incurable. This troupe is dangerously the best comedy available today!

[tabby]

I love how these guys literally embody the ideal of the show must go on, no matter what. Peter Pan goes wrong was phenomenal when I saw it on BBC.

[kevinw]

I'm impressed with Fallon here. The one guy who practically could never get thru a single SNL sketch without breaking and laughing, he stayed pretty much straight faced thru this.

[neszi]

Each 'mishap' is perfectly executed. I had to rewatch and look closely on the snagged foot. Love the choreography. XD

[TheMusicalJourneys]

The actress who played Mother/Housekeeper/Tinker Bell/Pirate in their version of Peter Pan was also incredible!

[xXgorillazbooshXx]

whether you found this funny or not, you've got to admit they pull the stunts off brilliantly- really natural if you go back and rewatch it

[MelissaNgai]

You can tell how happy Jimmy is to be a part of their comedians genius. Not often does Jimmy get chances to do physical comedy like this anymore, usually he has to work it into his own skits. This was actually very funny and the fact that they got through so much chaos in only 4 minutes shows how amazing that play actually is.

[jisoos_minions]

I've had the pleasure of seeing three of their plays live (Peter pan goes wrong, the play that goes wrong and comedy about a bank robbery) and I swear that they are the most hilarious things I've experienced to date. After each one everyone who I saw it with was still talking about it months and even years after the show, still laughing hysterically whilst remembering it.

If you ever get the chance to see one, take it! It's an experience that you won't forget or reget

[MarcosAmparo]

This is the best representation of how my life is.

[CynicalCharmer]

People find these guys unfunny, but watch Jimmy Fallon...the irony

[matrixdukenukem]

Can we just bury the trolls from the top comments and appreciate they made this superb marketing effort. Now you know what to expect from that play, if you like it go watch it if you don't like this kind of comedy change your taste.

[JeremyPhillips]

They now have a TV show. The Goes Wrong Show is six half-hours and is airing on the BBC.

[funkyhomosapiens]

judging the title of the play and this interview, i can imagine how the play looks like LOL

[mrwobbley]

When Americans don't appreciate British humour

[travissmith]

lol people... the point of the play is that the characters are bad actors

[johnmday]

This sketch does not flatter the "goes wrong show" team that grew in popularity on BBC UK. You have to see their proper sketches to appreciate how clever it is put together.

[evanmcguire]

one of the things that makes the "goes wrong" series so interesting is that the cast members never acknowledge that anything is going wrong. jimmy and jj didn't seem to grasp that concept as well as the pros in this skit.

[Youtuber-px]

being an actor for the stage, the amount of skill to be able to perform this is immense. this type of comedy has to be performed in perfect beats or else the comedy will not follow through and the audience will just get confused. many people praise the actors, BUT DON'T FORGET ABOUT THE CREW AND THE STAGE MANAGER IN THE BACK! i can just imagine all the calls the SM has to do in such perfect timing
