This series was way better than I expected. It captured horrific ontology of vampires and the twisted campy wit of gay men and some of the issues of race between gay “inter-racial” couples.

I have been waiting for him to be on more platforms with other Black folks. The show is so good!

Jacob is such a kind beautiful sensitive soul. The Emmys better not play games. Give him his Emmy nomination. He is completely magnetic as Louis.

Jacob Anderson's role as Louis de Pointe de Lac is captivating. I was shocked that he went through eight rounds of auditions to land this iconic role. The script seemed as if it was crafted specifically for him. I would have loved for Jacob to delve into why he felt Louis was a kindred spirit. Which part of the script made him feel like someone had gotten inside of his head and mapped out the battles he's had with himself, as well as the moments where his anxieties were triggered. I also loved that they talked about the origins of Jacob's middle name and the hairstyle trends he wore throughout the show's multiple timelines; for the simple fact that I loved the twists he wore as the older, much more seasoned Louis in 2021/22. It was a decent interview and I loved that it introduced new people to this adaptation of Anne Rice's book. Thank you for having him on your podcast, and I hope to see you interview Mr. Anderson in the near future.

I love Jacob, his acting, his music and the way he talks. He has a bright aura on him. His character Louis is my favourite off IWTV.

They better give that vampire his Emmy next year. Could listen to Jacob talk all day.

Jacob is such a talented human.
His portrayal and understanding of Louis and all of the nuance that went into his performance... Beautiful.

[HorrorGeek]

I loved this. I really like how they were able to incorporate race into the show. It added more depth to Louis and got rid of some problematic parts of the book.

Out of all the interviews I’ve seen Jacob do to support this series you are the only interviewer who could not be bothered to take the time to learn his co-stars name. It’s Sam Reid, btw, and he acted his ass off as Lestat the Vampire. Sam, from Jacobs own lips, has become his very best friend and one of his most favorite people he has ever met. If I were Jacob I would’ve been insulted by your lack of research and out of hand dismissal of my bestfriend and co-star. These artists put their blood sweat and tears into these characters and they both deserve recognition and respect. Do better!

How can u have an interviewer come on who hasn’t watched the show ??? 🙄💀

[Kklleeoo]

Enjoyed this but it's an odd choice to include a speaker/interviewer who didn't even watch the show (and when he said it to Jacob's face I got such second hand embarrassment). I thought watching the show would have been a basic requirement for media especially when you're having a 12-minute interview after the finale is out. Some of your questions were good but this conversation on the racial aspect of the show had a lot of potential so it's a shame.

To know your true history is a treasure to be found.. Thanks for the show...

[beckmannm]

Great interview!
Jacob Anderson is SO charming! His smile is infectious. As Louis, he is beautiful and compelling, and he is of course those things as himself, but he's also SO CUTE! 🥰

[EM-fdxe]

Great interview. Love Jacob & love the show. ♥️

[pharossymphony]

I don't understand why King is here if he hasn't seen the show. And don't shift the focus to 'well blacks owned blacks' that was such a small part of slavery. Shout out to Jacob for putting up with all of you.

Professor Karen, when you take over the world or when you leave this planet in your rocket to live on another planet I want to come with you. You know every body. I don't mind I will do your laundry, clean your room empty your chamber pot. Professor Karen you drop a bread crumb " The Know World" by Edward P Jones. I am going to listen to it on YouTube. I am so excited for the new knowledge. Thank you Professor Karen. Please don't be freaked out by my remark about the chamber pot, I admire and respect you and what you have bought to the human space.
