51?!? There is absolutely a portrait in Jim’s attic.

Two nerds geeking out about stage plays… I’m so here for it ❤❤❤ it’s always good when there is a substantive conversation where both parties have a real interest in the subject matter, what a great interview!!

[eljake]

He looks great--relaxed, confident, young.

[BrendaCooper-xtit]

Jim Parsons is a great talent and very likeable

[mabli]

Damn, he looks good in a beard, his husband is a lucky guy.

I love Jim Parsons, hes a great actor. From Big bang to Young Sheldon and of course broadway. awesome. I would like see him in more movies.

When they were talking about covid, I was thinking about how Sheldon would have reacted to it😂

When I saw The Normal Heart in 2011 I had no idea who Jim Parsons was. He was the best thing on the stage in a cast that included Ellen Barkin, Joe Mantello, John Benjamin Hickey, and Lee Pace. Been a fan ever since.

wow, he looks so incredibly handsome in this hair color and with a beard!! Jim - keep this look, you look hot as hell! he was always handsome, but now he looks SUPER handsome, and he also looks like 10 years younger than he actually is! amazing! 😍

[lashendawest]

We love jim parsons and stephen colbert

[MattJr]

when Jim walked out it really threw me off seeing a beard on his face but he looks great with it 🥲👏🔥💚

[James-hd]

The beard looks really nice ❤. Handsome.

[linguisticallycultured]

I really want to see this play now. Loved this conversation

[alexaales]

just finished the BBT on sunday for probably the 6th time. my husband and i being nerds still laugh so hard, it is such a brilliant show!

YAY STEPHEN for the "Nice people, know what I mean" line ... you captured the whole history of his story AND Spalding's voice. Well Done!!!!

[bluekitty]

I think the play will really resonate for people now after covid. I've been a blubbering wreck seeing it in a normal viewing, let alone after the death of so many people in our lives.

Love this man. The first time I saw "Our Town" was the Hal Holbrook production for PBS I believe. I was in Elementary School and it shook me to my core, it was beautiful. I am surprised Jim would be able to play the "emotionless" Narrators role. I wish I could see this!!❤

[vomgrady]

Wow! A very Cavett-like interview. Very refreshing.

[worf]

That's Jim Parsons' evil twin

Jim is a comic genius. He needs to do comedy in theater, film or TV - comedy.
