"No one loses ...why are we doing this?"....classic Sheldon 😂😂

[EvelynRobinson]

Jim saying what's the point if nobody wins reminded me of something Sheldon would say lol

[SingingPixels]

"Explain the plot of the movie" dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun XD

[GuidoIsTheName]

With Jim Parsons doing so good, now you have to have the ultimate 5- second summary showdown between him and Andy Samberg since they both did the best!!

[mstrainjr]

So hard to believe that Jim Parsons is 43.

[Edunne]

I love how when Jim gets worried he lifts himself up in the chair

[Yoxidelf]

I cannot help but smile every time he laughs, I love him so much.

[lar]

You gotta love Jim Parsons! He seems like the nicest guy. Bet he is one of those best-friend-kinda guy you can always rely on to hang out and laugh, and the one you turn for help when you're in trouble. Wish I could meet him someday

[colindomenek]

"Jaws"

"THANK YOU!!!!"

[hyacinthdibley]

I like how he hovers over his seat and kicks the air right when he's about to answer. hahaha

[MrStephanieJChia]

Jim's expression at 2:14 when Jimmy started shouting "Merry christmas! Merry christmas!"

[chinitapr]

Jim is so down to earth in all his interviews. He was about to have a heart attack, lol. I love him.

[jillianfeeney]

i really love how after jimmy said jaws, jim just screamed "THANK YOU"

[liatnoten]

Hahah you're not supposed to say any of the actors' names but Jim got lucky since Shaq wasn't actually in that movie and still helped Jimmy get it. 😂😂

[chabu]

Hahaha I didn't know if I was watching jim parson play or sheldon cooper

[bananasforcabello]

Am I the only one who thinks Jim Parsons looks a LOT like Sheldon Cooper from the Big Bang Theory?

[SuperLoveLexi]

Jim is so adorable when he's nervous

[AWESMEDEFENDER]
