Late Night with Seth Meyers

He’s like a mix between Professor Snape and John Wick with a bit of Ross Geller.

[AmaraEmme]

I wish Seth had asked him about the judges’ reactions to happy birthday and about why he decided on that song

[jennacryan]

Seth: So you were in the Marines before acting
Also Seth: Julliard auditions must have been intense

[misslady]

Adam has a beautiful speaking voice. Very calm, unique, masculine, and powerful. Just gorgeous to listen to!

[plansforus]

I am HIGHkey obsessed with this man right now. Like, this is hour 2 of the Adam Driver YouTube pit. There may be no retrieving me.

[divanamiami]

This is a quality man that is really hard to find these days.

[theLaurenrules]

[angelafernandachristenseng]

This guy is so intelligent, well educated and generous.

[kkcolanyonio]

He is so beautiful that makes me want to cry.

[greasydogg]

[Karaetify]

Imagine being so talented that you sing Happy Birthday and still got in Juilliard

[msherry]

Adam Driver is mesmerizing. When he is on the screen, everyone else seems to melt away. Amazing presence.

[tomasinacovell]

I loved him as "Matt" in SNL's sketch of "Undercover Boss", I watch that over and over. :)

[Andrews]

I would love to hear his rendition of happy birthday.

[odeus]

Dude is mad chill despite his star wars role. He should have been a Jedi.

[peggygibbons]

He did a TED Talk, about being in the Marines and it was so beautiful!!

[safiiiyyyaaa]

Adam Driver 😍 he probably could have sang anything and they'd have let him in just for being so charming

[NinaC]

He is just so goodlooking 😍 It is nice to see him smiling and laughing too. His humor is dry which makes it funnier. Imagine meeting him on the red carpet though. That would be so cool and intimidating!

[neuropiano]

I had a vocal coach who said that you can tell a vocalist is good by how they can sing happy birthday

[tuki]

Adam is looking good! Love the outfit and his hair is growing back again! Such an amazing actor and such a nice guy too.
