This was such a chill, weird, cool and awkward interview all at the same time

[BenAHowell]

Man, they have a weird chemistry together that is so fun to watch. Franco is just too weird and unpredictable for Colbert's usual impromptu killer wit. Please, we need more!!!

[martinaee]

It's amazing that he was able to regrow his arm.

[MuhammadEgypt]

I find James one of the most mysterious celebrities in Hollywood.

[Jack-gufc]

Colbert is one of the few hosts that can actually have a conversation with a guest and make it not sound fake

[jenniferc.]

Too adorable... James hugs Stephen like he really means it....

[ahmedhameed]

this was an awesome interview!!stephen has this way of putting the guest at ease to a point that they really open up and you get a glimpse of their real self....!

[XxMyLameUserNamexX]

It’s so cute how James cracks up to his own jokes.

[bigjilms]

This is such an amazing interview, I was smiling all the way through. Their chemistry is amazing.

[kays]

I love how James seems so happy with life.
I feel that him spending his life creating and learning rather than seeking out a "soulmate" is awesome. I find that lifestyle admirable especially since society pressures us to "settle down."

[Gouthamedara]

Franco is a terrific actor. He should play more serious roles. He doesnt get much recognition just like ethan hawke

[Sticklemako]

He is such a reallife goofball and unapologetic freak. Kudos to him

[Trippy_Santa]

I like James Franco. Always did. He's a smart semi-nihilistic unusual but very talented guy. If someone reads this: James Franco would be a fantastic James Bond villain.

[Dranzerk]

I used to think James Franco was high because of his eyes, but now its because he works so much he is just tired.

[DavidRuizTijerina]

If anyone's curious, that Mexican saying is "chivo brincado, chivo quedado, " which roughly translates to "a goat that has been jumped over isn't going anywhere." The goats would be the siblings, and being "jumped over" is when a younger sibling gets married before you do.

"We'll edit it out" -Stephen

GOOD JOB, STEPHEN! GOOD FUCKING JOB

Also, my boy James a true player

[v-]

Holy shit, a real conversation on a talk show. Are all interviews like this with Colbert?

[youmeandi]

this was such a great natural and inteesting interview

[Yousef-ehqq]

I don't know if this is incredibly awkward or extremely chill and laid back

[haideegrace]

this is my favourite interview to date
