Father John Misty Accidentally Became an Action Star- Late Night with Seth Meyers

[myarea]

Finally someone who knows to interview FJM without it getting cringy and pseudo-deep

[distantandvague]

Josh Tillman should've been casted in A Star is Born

[Spectacurl]

If there were a live action version of BoJack Horseman he will be awesome as BoJack.

[joaquinbear]

"I look like an actor who's going through a personal crisis. Right now." It's actually not a joke. He looks like Jim Carrey.

[RustinChole]

Finally! He has a personality that begs an interview. Freaking love that Josh Tillman.

[TheProphegy]

This man literally has it all. Love his new cut too with the short hair, looks really good!

[JulioCezarMari]

Fleet Foxes, Saxon Shore, Demon Hunter and Father John Misty, everything he touches is gold

[EverybodyHurts]

This makes me very happy, him being interviewed by you. Thank you for having him xxx

[willt.]

To summarize, the keys to an authentic performance are:
1) Coughing
2) Tripping

[jevinday]

The fact that Josh name drops Serge Gainsbourg blows my mind, Fleet Foxes and FJM are 2 of my favorite bands of all time and Charlotte Gainsbourg is one of my favorite actresses. I actually met Josh once when a FJM show in Phoenix AZ sold out, he put my brother and I on the guest list and we got in for free because I told him tickets sold out, he is a stand up dude. The party persona is cool but he is a very smart, passionate musician

[cheesecake]

Father John Misty, Dr. Fun. He is really very good at coming up with great stage names.

[I_scooter_fast]

My gosh he is attractive. In many ways

[realCevra]

he's right, time travelling hobo seems interesting

[HotStrange]

I always thought he was a pretentious guy from like one interview I saw a while back. Going though these and a few other interviews he seems like a genuinely cool dude.

[muarifsumahar]

That sarcasm is good material for stand up

[tsukiji_wasabi]

All beard and no brow (I love him so much)

[aub]

Saw his name in the credits of Hotel Artemis last night and I was STUNNED! He did such a good job, and his songs are amazing

[ge]

this must have been the first interview with fjm where he didn't look totally stoned

[ninamercado]

*sighs* Yet another stranger I am in love with

[jeffdunn]

"I finally got given a character that I was like 'okay, this is interesting, I can really do this.'"
"It's a guy who gets his head blown off within, like, 30 seconds of the film."
