"Patton Oswalt Briefly Mentions Dungeons & Dragons Over Drinks"

"So I played D&D, you played D&D, anyway: your dead wife wrote this book."

[daniellezepess]

I've always enjoyed Patton Oswalt's performances, and my respect for him as an individual has definitely grown for this touching tribute to his late wife. What an honor to her memory & life's work to complete & publish her book. ❤

[Pinfeldorf]

For anyone who didn't know, they caught the Golden State Killer, almost certainly entirely because of the stones Patricia McNamara kicked over.

[cerboris]

They should do a documentary style show about D&D starring celebrities that love and played D&D. Patton Oswalt, Vin Diesel, Anderson Cooper, Jon Favreau and Stephen of course to name a few. I'd watch it.

[MauroTamm]

Neo Baggings fighting Morphorks in Narnia. I want a animated short for it.

[moeskeetz]

Her book helped bring that man to justice! I watched a special on it not too long ago. She was a remarkable woman 🙏🏾

Best part of the show is when Colbert brings the drinks out. Glad Patton was funny one minute then so raw and honest talking about his late wife.

that damn level 14 republican paladin trying to destroy the ring of captain picard by throwing it into the hogswarts sorting hat

[kerikah]

Anyone else blown away that he finished his wife's book (even with help)!? Not to mention keeping so busy with all his other work while grieving, raising a little girl, not to mention finding her a new mom? I'm in awe of Patton's time-management skills alone!

[DanBrown]

Touching, his commitment to his late wife's legacy.  Sorry for your loss, sir.

[patrickhanlon]

Where is the 3.5 hour extended edition of this interview!? In the name of the  Ilúvatar I must have more of this interview!

[NewMessage]

Patton needs to get a monocle. He could bring it back.

[SaraTiggs]

All these comments are from so long ago. Steven Colbert did Red Nose Day with Matt Mercer. An easy stepping stone for Steven to guest on CR.

[TheComfyGeek]

Would love to see more of Oswalt and Colbert talking more. I think they woukd get on together really well.
I bet Stephen was getting pretty drunk by the end of that taping. Drinking with Oswalt and Lawrence is a meaty task.

[WormsWeGot]

Solid Bourbon choice with Eagle Rare, the best produced alcohol to come out of the Buffalo Trace distillery

[Fizzlefuse]

Stephen would probably be an amazing person to play D&D with.. and he needs to be a guest on Critical Role. :D

[patrickhanlon]

Oh my god, I almost laughed my oatmeal out of my mouth when Patton shook his empty glass at Stephen.

[shadowknave]

I wish I could play D&D with Patton and Steven. That would be a badass game.

This might be my favourite Patton Oswalt interview ever ❤
