You know I’m something of a comedian myself- Willem Dafoe

[MrBrewman]

Willem seems like the happiest and most friendly guy you could ever run into.

[francescofioroni]

I love how he is aware of the memes on him and accept these with a laugh. Willem is a genuinely good person

[finsmylie]

"The vibe of a sociopath"
20 years ago played the green goblin so iconically they brought him back after 20nyears and 2 spiderman reboots

[leo_]

He seems so happy to be there and like he's having so much fun. So heartwarming.

[sob]

Willem Dafoe truly throws himself into a role. He is a Man of a Thousand Faces.

[whatistau]

"That was me" joke was written and executed to perfection. Had to watch it like 3 times.

[troywilson]

As a Wisconsinite, Bryant and Day's accents were straight from Minnesota. Us Wisconsinites don't talk quite like that. Dafoe, however nailed it.

I’m *SO* glad that his Joker role is acknowledged

[Wubsy]

For someone named Dafoe, he is so friendly.

[svonkie]

Makes me feel secure that Willem is so vibrant and sparkly after all these years. Maybe we aren’t aging faster than expired milk after all.

[emoney]

3:05 “…..that was me.”
Perfectly timed and delivered😂 great to see Willem hosting.

[TheSaxon.]

It's weird not seeing Dafoe being crazy or intense. It's quite unsettling.

[RavixFourhorn]

Jeeze, this guy just makes me smile. What a happy man.

[GTMQ]

This man deserves all the love and accolades in the world. Not for just being one of the greatest actors of all time. But also for just genuinely being an awesome and cool human being.

[matkodoris]

Willem Dafoe was absolutely fantastic in this show. Everybody knows him as a powerful dramatic actor but he totally killed last Saturday. He should host again soon!

[janlesperance]

Willem, aka Billy, was my neighbor in Appleton WI. We had many summer days and nights playing games like kickball, baseball, Starlight Moonlight. He was a nice kid with a great sense of humor. When we were in high school he dated one of the prettiest girls there.

[eekeey]

Seriously, he would've been *awesome* as the joker.

[kimberlycolezemke]

It warms my heart to see Willem Defoe finally getting the love and recognition he deserves

[FoodBaby]

As a Wisconsinite, my life so much better hearing Willem do that.
