I think he would have made a great Spiderman. He has that dorky and likable personality to pull of the character.

Dude, young Joseph is charismatic, humble and cool man! Bringing out good movie references and ahead of his time answers. Doesn't surprise me that he grew up to be such a fantastic actor and the projects he chooses to make are always some of my favs. Inception, Looper, Snowden and even last year with Trial of the Chicago 7, killing it man!

[rosierennie]

I love how Joseph's so naturally charming. You can tell he's nervous but Andy and Conan are making him feel relaxed with jokes. Gosh he was the cutest, I used to watch Third Rock from the Sun as a child and I was so in love with him

[hansumar]

"are you calling me a hippie?" lol

[OpalBees]

Dang, the maturity level of this kid. The best part is that it seems to have carried into adulthood!

[alejahbolanio]

I love him so much . He radiates. He's so charming and he looks soft and humble and smart . He looks sweet .

JGL was pretty charismatic for a 17 year old

[billbrasky]

Just casually rocking the Birkenstocks on live TV. JGL was and still is a badass.

[MelissaNgai]

Such a precious interview. 10 Things I Hate About You era, such a charismatic guy.

[MrGuitaristgamer]

Whoever is uploading these videos, please keep doing it. As a Canadian viewer, most of Conan's YouTube clips were unavailable here but I'm a huge fan of his interviews. Now that his show has ended, it's really nice to see older clips being uploaded

[mtrps_]

Conan knew exactly what hes doing, he mustve identified that JGL can handle the dynamic during rehearsal even at such a young age. He can keep up, dude's a natural.

[billpardy]

I had a crush on him in third rock from the sun and I have a crush on him now. Aging like a fine wine, but always wonderful.

[averagestudent]

I live how conan constantly engages his guests instead of just asking a question from his notes and leaving it up to the guest to fill the time.

[simretsekhon]

Only his voice changed, he's still like this 🥺

[lustrouslemon]

I hope they keep uploading the older clips. it's almost impossible to find the show.

[Dira]

OMG Joseph was and will always be adorable!

[grokeffer]

3rd Rock is still one of my favorite comedies. I really liked his performance in Sin City : A Dame to Kill For.

[gilbertodepiento]

He should've played Robin or Nightwing back then

[Dogtles]

I love Joseph in a way that is confusing for a straight male

[WhySoSerioussss]

So Joseph invented the phrase “it is what it is” back in 98
