"Forget the boston accent, you blew through grammar and spaces"

[fezzik]

As a Bostonian I can back him up that people always exaggerate the accent when they try it. It’s actually more subtle than you think. Kinda laid back. Or maybe we just feel that way because we’re from here.

[julyjahn]

I REALLY love John Krasinski's humor. It's just so pure.

[Geeksmithing]

I haven't seen Steven genuinely crack up during an interview in a long time

[kristins]

I I love that they just sat there and giggled at each other for this whole interview - adorable!!!

[TheCrazybookworm]

I love when actors try to explain their original accents and then slip into them for the rest of the conversation. Like they don't start off talking with them but once it's acknowledged that they originally spoke like that, or explain where they are from, they get trapped in it.

“And now we’re in New York-Boston, and we don’t wanna get into that area.”

Yup, John knew, that’s how you get hurt lol

[donnarohdy]

Southern accent, don’t forget to say, “Bless your heart”, after the sentence.

If you're from Massachusetts, you're laughing. If you're from the South, you're laughing. If you've lived in both, you're on the friggin floor gasping for air with tears in your eyes.

This was awesome. Such natural chemistry between the two and an easy dynamic and flow. John is hilarious and always the best guest on any show. Love how he claps his hands together when he finds something really funny.

[Sklallamstrong]

Best interview chemistry in ever! I need John Krasinski and Chris Evans to do a skit of Tom and Ray Magliozzi from Car Talk.

[KC-cdiv]

Anything John Krasinski, I’m watching.

[NewMessage]

If Forrest had been from Boston, he'd be an over explainer.

[Inamichan]

I love it when the interviewer vibes well with the person they are interviewing. Stephen is great at interviewing people but it’s nice when he doesn’t have to do all of the work and it’s an actual conversation

[raffaele__morrone]

He really deserves all of these beautiful things that are happening in his life right now. He’s a really truly talented actor and an amazing human being.

[The_Notorious_N.O.E.]

I could watch an hour of those two. In fact, John should fill in for Stephen from time to time 👍

It's always so cute when the Americans are talking about accents.
Meanwhile, the villagers north of the small town I live in don't understand the villagers south of it.

[drrd]

As someone from the UK, I find it amazing how a country so big as America, the accents and dialects between regions are so similar (what I mean is it is easy to understand all the American dialects once you have heard one), In the UK you can go 30 minutes down the road from your hometown and can't understand anyone.

He comes off as being a lot more blue collar than the Jim Halpert character. You can tell that he’s a down to earth dude and fame hasn’t gotten to his head.

[tjoffe]

As a person originally from Boston, this is hilarious 😂
