I don't know if any other talk show would bring out the awesomeness of Jesse Eisenberg. Kelly is completely enjoying herself and they have great comradery.

[lufflyness]

This has to be the best interview he’s ever given 😂

[febabs]

This is so much like when an extrovert (Kelly) finds and chooses her introvert best friend (Jesse) in school. So magical. If his wife gets along with Kelly ITS GONNA BE A BEAUTIFUL LIFE LONG FRIENDSHIP

[needyverse]

Jesse said 'I love you' back, and I do think he meant that. I think we just witnessed a very interesting dynamic of two 11s on two different scales meeting in a beautiful harmony - somehow!!

kudos to Kelly she has come a long way. all these guests come with their unique traits and personalities and she can intuitively tune in to make them feel comfortable and carry the flow of the interview.

[Mai-jtus]

This is one of jesse's best interviews. Kelly did great!

[AvisWrentmore]

He's rocking back and forth, I think he's really nervous. Oh my goodness, he's so sweet.

"everything's daunting." jesse eisenberg

[AvisWrentmore]

You're right Kelly:) We love him too. Never seen this side of Jesse, I feel like he really enjoyed this interview as much as you did:) Well done and the movie looks great. Thanks for featuring it.

[amedori]

Kelly, you’re incredible. You were so great with Jesse. Great interview!

"I wake up like this and then I can't fall asleep like this." 😂 this is me with my adhd brain

[tashamiel]

EVERYBODY LOVES JESSE EISENBERG! fricking talented also awkwardly hilarious. LOVE!

[kathyleib]

Jesse is and always has been tremendously talented. Lovely interview.

[IngaParkel-cg]

This interview is precious!!! I relate too hard to Jesse's anxiety... but Kelly was so precious and she handled the interview flawlessly

[rosealee]

I love Jesse and his movies and always want to momma bear hug him when I see his interviews. But I think that would make his anxiety worse. I can’t wait to see this next movie!

[lukasky]

Kelly you completely disarmed him and by extension, me. I love him now, too!

[SOI-wllo]

Best thing out of this interview (despite Jesse’s excellent recount of the film’s ideas) is seeing a great and unlikely friends match begin to form between him and Kelly !! 😩👌

[NickGeorgiou]

Jesse is so sweet and Kelly is doing such a good job

[pauldesigncomics]

This was a very well balanced interview. I’ve seen older clips where people complain her inter skills because she interrupts them a lot. I think she has improved since she moved to NY.

[AndreaLikesMusic]

This is the best, most authentic interview. I got chills along the way, particularly in regards to the film and Jesse’s history, but also the staff member’s story. I will definitely be seeing that.
