i love how Stephen always appreciate his guest, i noticed he respects his guests a lot. Especially if they're legends in their craft. U can see he's really enjoying talking with Michael Douglas.

[MOGGS]

Michael Douglas is the perfect guest in a chat show. He's intelligent, funny, has lots of stories, etc., and he's very comfortable to be around. In addition, he's a pretty good actor.

The Douglas family has brought us all so many wonderful movies over the years. I love and respect them both.

[seanbean]

One of my all time favorite actors, EVER.

The man is a class act. Love him for his art and looks too.

I’m loving the Kaminsky Method. The Netflix method of giving shows the length they need is great, rather than having to cram to a fixed length.

[zoojudy]

I'm enjoying The Kominsky Method. Hard to find good movies like this, light, non-violent, great writing, great acting, for older audiences. Thank you Netflix. Do more.

[BigAlWillis]

[nikniknik_indianas]

One flew over the cuckoos nest is a masterpiece what an incredible movie

[craigh]

Boy o boy...the stories Michael could tell. It'd have to be a 2-hour special.

[NewMessage]

This interview kinda made my night. Always found this guy as entertaining as himself as he is in any role you can name. Gonna watch Falling Down tomorrow, I think.

[tessarabennett]

Michael Douglas seems like a real gentleman.

Good to see Michael Douglas doing well and fully recovered (was announced on August 16, 2010 that Douglas was suffering from tongue cancer, and would undergo chemotherapy and radiation confirmed that the cancer was at stage IV, the most advanced stage.)

Kominsky Method is fabulous, great acting, super cast. What a treat.

[LisaMurphy]

The Kominsky Method is fantastic. So funny and relatable -- great writing and Michael Douglas and Allen Arkin are brilliant together. I'm on episode 5 right now and every episode has been great.

Just imagine reaching 74 years old and still having your father around, crazy that Kirk Douglas is still alive
