Anyways how is your sex life???

You can say that again
Let’s go eat huh?
Eric Andre and Tommy Wiseau should be working together on a comedic masterpiece. Spread the word, people.
Arthur Miguel yesssss
We need this... Plllleeeeeaaaasssseeee
really have a problem with myers comment about when crazy people are successful. tommy isnt crazy. he is eccentric and people love him for it. this interview has a bad tone to it. like they see him as below them
I agree, it's condescending. Tommy isn't crazy or stupid but likely has one or more personality disorders (=eccentric, just in medical terms)
@@monmothma3358 Yes and cool TH-cam handle
well...that escalated slowly
@@citygalmelanieproductions1431 The user named 'Spread Love' there, with a beautiful message of harmony and joy
@@citygalmelanieproductions1431 just seen your "recent comments" and discovered you call every celebrity satanic pedo freaks on different videos. Nice troll buddy
Seth Meyers ends his interview like it's a phone call.
"Didnt expect him to grab the mic" ? Of course he wanted to talk ! Thanks To him you have a golden globe !
James Franco was an asshole in many aspects. He COULD have let TW speak, but he DIDNT have to - and there is where i disagree with you. Franco did a movie based on greg's book and it was all about how The Room was made. Without Greg's book of Franco's investment (contatcs, acting, money, promote his movie) TW would have never had the chance to step on that stage.
and without TW greg's book would never have been made in the first place
franco is cool and all but at this moment he lost it
i pretty much think that TW did upset him in some way
TW prob is not a easy personality to begin with and franco might be either
@@2salzig2spucknapp And without Tommy or Greg's book James Franco would still be a celebrity doing high profile movies and Tommy and Greg would still be stuck doing midnight cult showings instead of being on stage at the Golden Globes with James. To me, this was more beneficial for Tommy and Greg than James honestly.
Dtox except the award was for James not Tommy. He could speak after James.
@@TrialFireWork Imagine that it's your moment you've been waiting the whole time of you life. You want to talk and show appreciation and the effort of the work. But suddenly some psycho dude wants to steal that moment even if the intentions were good. No Sane person would do that !! It's wrong.
James speaks of tommy in an endearing way. Myers just wants to make fun of him.
All of these interviews about Tommy Wiseau makes me feel bad for him. He’s not trying to be funny and people laugh at him not with him. I get picking on your friend but to do it for a whole interview feels a bit harsh.
mågneta that being said if you have read the Disaster Artist Tommy really mistreated everyone on the film especially Juliette. She needed therapy after.
@@laurad324 what did he do specifically?
I'm sorry, but I don't get the impression that the guy's particularly nice. He strikes me as a narcissist and a control freak asshole. We romanticise him, and make him out to be a hilarious, mistreated clown, but the truth is he's a bit of a prick.
@@laurad324 Aaah an American that 'needs therapy' after a mildly tough time. People from Europe are tougher - that's why Americans think he mistreated them. Raise your voice to them and they need a year of counselling.
@@ploppyploppy I don't think there's any sense in defending Tommy in this case, mate. I'm not sure if he's crazy, stupid, or both, but clearly he has some issues. Calling him eccentric is accurate, sure, but doesn't even begin to cover it. And your statement about Europeans being tougher is just... silly, really. I'm European, and I think Tommy Wiseau acted like a complete asshole towards most of the people in his film - Greg and Juliette most of all. If Disaster Artist is even remotely accurate (which Tommy himself has claimed that it 99.9% is), then Tommy deliberately destroyed Greg's shot at becoming a successful actor because he couldn't handle his friend being more successful than him. He practically assaulted Juliette, on camera. Yes, he was mistreated by a lot of people, but he did a LOT to earn it. If anything, I feel as if he was treated better in America than he would have ever been in if he stayed in Europe.
Ya'll crying about James Franco talking about Tommy but he's not being rude he's not laughing at him out of sheer amusement but rather Tommy is so over the top you can only laugh or cry at many the things he says.
''He knows i'm powerfull and he can feel...feel this power.''
This interview makes me feel complicit in something underhanded
Well Tommy is super powerful, he’s just super nice too 🥰👍
Cool interview. For everyone complaining about Tommy as a true Tommy fan I'm happy Franco did the movie giving Tommy a renewed success and yes even sharing the tapes lol. Tommy doesn't care these stories are all gold and his fans love to hear them. Good job Franco.
To be fair, Tommy already had renewed success without Franco and was already touring for years because of it's cult status. He had millions of views on youtube before Franco knocked on his door to cash in some of that driving success.
EnkiDenki7 I think you're wrong. Tommy might have already had good success but The Disaster Artist movie definitely helped gain more success and popularity. Someone like me who lives in Asia had no idea who Tommy Wiseau was until The Disaster Artist movie came. The movie gained him worldwide recognition.
How am I wrong if that wasn't even my point. I never said it didn't gain more popularity after James Franco, my point is that he didn't need James Franco at all as he already had a tremendous amount of success that reached cult status, both in the film industry and outside of it. (that it was only growing by the way) In fact, James Franco would have never taken the huge risk if it wasn't already a success. ps: I'm not American either, and I already knew this because of so many celebrities talking about it before The Disaster Artist existed.
@@EnkiDenki7 Franco's whole thing is riding off of the success of others. Good for him he can do accents. He thinks he's a lot more special than he is.
I think Franco (and Rogen as well) should be a bit less mean in how they talk about Tommy, it's like they're taking the piss out of him, and yet Franco claims/pretends to be Tommy's friend. Not very nice. You can at least be civil about the guy.
Well actually Franco is pretty respectful , he is acknowledging Tommys' talents , his movie could be a complete moc up , hut he cared for presition and showing the best side of Tommy, depicting him as a dreamer.
D C that's not true though
i am a HUGE franco fan and i’m really disheartened by how he’s treated Tommy and this whole movie which really sucks because The Disaster Artist movie (haven’t read the book) is exceptional. But i agree with everyone James is coming off hugely douchey and it seems like they’re all profiting and exploiting Tommy. Poor guy. He’s a legend, always will be.
Yeah I always liked Franco until this. I lost all respect for him after seeing the way he treats Tommy. He's spoiled and arrogant and cruel.
You guys are judgemental
Somehow this doesn’t feel right.
It does not feel right because it is not right. In several interviews, james said that of he would never share these tapes with anyone. Then here it is! Who knows what he would out next. James is just as passive aggressive as greg. They keep this nice guy facade, but inside they are nothing but scheming shrewd thieves who attack while you are asleep.
@@E_l_l_i_e I think greg and tommy have a legimate friendship but james obviously cant help but clown tommy when other people do
Meh He speaks truth imo
Tommy is a weirdo and I like hearing about him, but he does seem narcissistic as heck
It's not, they're smug little turd eaters
Everyone betray me!! I fed up with this wuurllld 😂
What they are doing here is actually bullying
He was actually an outright arsehole, at times. It's somewhat warranted.
Shut up mate they’re talking about a story of friendship it’s ironic that something great came out of the shittiest movie ever made
Well Seth myers is. And a lot of those apatow peeps I can see making fun of him and jimmy Fallon too. But you can tell Franco actually likes Wiseau and it’s made me respect him. There’s genuine affection there.
Seth Myres: "its weird when things work out for non simulation programs like me"
Nah if anything, they’re actually spreading Tommy’s legend.
I keep losing respect for James. He really shouldn't admit having someone's personal diary and just showing it to everyone. They act like he's a clown when he has many, many more followers than any of them, it's a really disappointing thing to see artists being mean spirited and just freaking out when they see someone who's different
I don't think playing the tape was a great move... but honestly, I would guess Tommy had given permission for it to be played on TV. And aside from the tape incident, I feel like James Franco did his best to defend Tommy, by pointing out some of the weirdness, both flawed and otherwise, that makes him the interesting character that he is.
yeah hes a dick
Karma wound up getting him for it, it seems like.
@@thoughtfuldevil6069 what are you referring to?
@@jokx4409 All the abuse he committed, and lost his career over.
tommy did vlogging 20 years ago
i don't really like the way he talks about Tommy.. he talks like a bully who thinks he's better than Tommy. yeah sure Tommy is a strange guy, but don't talk about him like he's lower than you, imo none of Franco's movies will ever be as good as The Room! (in a very weird way)
Tommy is james' Carl Pilkington... a little "project" to use, wich is sad but reflects how actors think, not all of them tho some actors are actually genuinly nice
What I like about Tommy is that he seems 100 % genuine. Can't get more human than Tommy.
That's one of the stupidest things I've read.
3:38 Tommy comes through Seth Meyers voice.
Hahaha... man how did you spot that?!
The question is how did Tommy do that?!
I'm starting to like james franco less ..& less. He can always win another award in the future as he's acted in many diverse roles & he's an accomplished actor, so he could've allowed that guy to speak even if it meant not knowing nor controlling what was going to be said, also it could've been that actors only oppertunity to be on a stage like that & it seems that james franco is constantly pointing out this guys flaws on every interview 😞
i agree
@Steven Seagull Yeah, James was lucky, I agree.
franco makes fun of tommy like hes crazy for having confidence and wanting American success as if hes some humble guy that doesn't enjoy the immense power he has.
“If any other person did what he does it would just end in pure disaster but he somehow always turns disaster to something positive” I see that as a compliment I don’t understand how yall saying James right here making fun of Tommy. The fact that his (Tommy) movie is still being watched today 15 or 17 years later pretty much says people like Tommy for who he is, he’s eccentric and I think that’s what James love about him too.
this is kinda mean...
I dont think James is actually trying to be a bully, I think he loves Tommy. For some reason, all the interviews he’s done for the disaster artist that I’ve seen have some how turned into making fun of Tommy. It’s kind of annoying but I see that James is actually so intrigued by Tommy and loves him
It's probably a good thing he did Colbert first, and got the uncomfortable questions out of the way.
Jellyon When he started of with the leftist 50/50 mumbo jumbo rhetoric, I got suspicious.
We know how many feminists get exposed as rapists and pedophiles.
You know how it goes.
Either that or he's really smart and knew the audience would eat those words up.
Muhammad Ali You mean feminists like Trump, Roy Moore, Roger Ayles, Bill O'Reilly, and half of the Fox "News" lineup, ... ^^
idunno bout trumptrumptrump. but they're not feminists. most exposed are feminists.
u must read badly.
I love how the tommy was just kind of comes out sometimes when james' says certain words
James is such an amazing actor any movie he's in he makes it 100 times better
consciously or not James has adopted his laugh ah haha 😄
Don't know the guy hosting the show, but major ball drop calling the guy "crazy"
The Room was an anti-movie. It exposed the fiction of film, which attempts to create a better version of reality that is essentially moot. Tommy created something that is awkward, the way real life is, and his movie takes every typical plot device, characterization, and trope, and turns it inside out and upside down. It is brilliant. It can’t be duplicated.
I did naaaaaaht
You could call James a jerk for playing these tapes, but I bet you there was something way more embarrassing he could of played.
Franco seemed like an asshole for cutting him off, but at least he’s the reason why he was standing at the golden globes in the first place
Gabriel Calderón you know they have a limited time for speeches, Tommy is just too unpredictable
@@VJ-ss7il I would rather hear Tommy speak
He didn't cut him off; Franco had the Mic, not TW. If anything it was a failed attempt to cut James Franco off.
How durr you talk about him like that! You are tearing him apart James!!
James Franco is just disrespectful and thats sad, have some gratitude damn, no wondertommy wanted Johnny Depp
O boy..
thats actually not nice that he let everyone hear Tommy's personal tapes
luvyou baby I can see why. But its over an argument with his teacher. not something very personal
luvyou baby But Tommy knew, Greg is his best friend
luvyou baby well tommy knows he has the tapes. And james has brought up that he has them on multiple talk shows. Im sure tommy gave him the go ahead. Especially since james has already quoted this tape almost verbatim.
well they paid tommy pretty nicely for his life rights, im sure these tapes were apart of the contract - so james can do whatever you wants with what he legally owns
He did naaaaat.
James Franco is jealous he doesn't have half the personality Tommy does. 🤷♀️
Love Tommy
I don't understand whether to like James Franco or not, he pushed tommy wiseau apart when he wanted to speak, and justifying it.
Also, making his fun like this. I think rather than tommy, james is being weird and crazy!!
SHOBHIT SINGH I think it’s fair for him to have taken the mic on the night. There is only 45 seconds and it was more important to ensure that the crew behind the movie received their credit. It would have been strange if James received an award, but didn’t give a speech.
AdamC agreed!!
SHOBHIT SINGH James Franco explained that he only had 40 seconds to speak.
Would you let someone else speak in arguably one your best moments in life As Much as I love Tommy,James was right in pushing him away
WeirdozChannel An Idiot who can make the worst movie into Oscar Worthy
Where's your movie??
James u promised him you wouldn’t let anyone listen to those tapes
I'm pretty sure it's a planned bit
Wow what betrayal
It is very scary to see highly successful people making fun of less achieving or failed people.
James Franco is highly capitalizing on Tommy name as well mocking and degrading him. Make you wonder about the Film Industry.
This interview is just disrespectful, he calls Tommy crazy and looks down on him and so on. This interviewer is like De Niro's character in Joker.
Seth Myers is like that one guy in the comment section that doesn’t realize it’s a sarcastic comment. He just doesn’t seem to get Tommy.
Yes Seth,it's funny when it go right way for crazy people,you should know.
at 3:49, is that james’s stomach making that sound?
Notice that James Franco and Dennis Leary have the same voice.
Oh my gosh, you're right..I'd never noticed before.
everyone is hating on him because of sexual assault accusations that have no evidence and only come around because he is super successful now,
He was succesful before, the accusations appear after the awards.. just then, not a day before, not a week before, just after the awards. If those women knew he was lying about being a feminist they could said it when all the Weinstein crap started. It's obvious those 3 women have nothing against him aside of maybe him being crazy as usual(in a legal way, obviously)
dont defend these women..they are only saying it for attention and potential money
Fucking worthless whores always looking to leech on successful men.
I imagine he had permission to share this.
He'd better...
Who cares about Tommy lol
Who cares about you?
since tommy is an alien hes acting quite good as human
Gold
I heard he forced Grimace into a tense sexual situation when he worked at Mcdonalds
He just taught me sign language.
He promised Tommy he wouldn’t show it 😂
Hahaha what a story James!
James will forever be my celebrity crush
Not Kyrie Irving?
James Franco: "His good friend, Greg, as good friends do, stole some of these tapes, way back when...and then, when I was going to get ready for it, he had digitized them and sent them to me."
Tommy Wiseau: He did _naht;_ it's _naht_ _true;_ it's _bowlshit._
james letting him speak would not have made you smaller..instead it would have made you bigger...
Who's normal? Come on....no one...Tommy did it cause he loves cinema. And The Room it s not a movie...it s a planet.
Tommy must have given them permission to make fun of him like that.. after all, he just wanted to be famous and thats whats happening while he makes money at the same time. Its very clear that Seth and James make far-fetched fun of him on purspose, so calm down guys.
Ha ha what a story James
People here complaining about James being mean... I disagree completely. He always seems so excited when talking about him and whenever they're seen together he looks at him with intrigue and fondness and clearly they're good friends! He's not "talking about him like he's a less than" rather he's just talking about his (let's face it) rather peculiar friend. As for not letting him talk at the awards, James had limited time to thank everyone involved in the film's success (as he's explained in a different interview) and even if that wasn't the case, it was HIS film and Tommy should have been pleased about even getting to be on stage at all. The disaster artist was JAMES' creative endeavor not Tommy's, even if it was based off of The Room. And Tommy was on his way to the stage with full confidence before James even invited him on, as though he felt the award was his, when all he'd done was create a shipwreck film almost 20 years ago, which now only makes ANY sense at all thanks to James' film. I do think Tommy is a genuine guy with ambitions, sure, but I don't think James deserves all the stuff people are saying about him now.
I luv James Franco😍
I will record everything
Neil Breen and Tommy Wiseau should work together
I think Franco is a jerk in real life. But I don't know just guessing.
You were right 😂
Dunno why, but there is something in Franco's face and behaviour that makes me thinks he is not a very nice person in private. Like he's just acting to be a nice guy, but he's not. He clearly mocks Tommy and his movie, he just don't want to admit it. I think he personally considers Tommy as a sad joke. This makes me mad, Mr Wiseau is such a nice polish guy from New Orelans.
@ Why a sad joke ? I'm polish too, it's a very nice thought that he also comes from our crazy country. It is actually very polish thing to deny your birthplace or feel ashamed of were you come from xD. He's 100 % all american guy :D
You hear all these stories about great talents who were told they'd never be anyone and their sheer will got them to where they are - but with Tommy it was all will - people told him it would never happen for him in a million years and they were right.......but they were wrong - Tommy Wiseau is a testament to believing in yourself and god bless Greg Sestero, if he's anything like he was portrayed in the movie then that guy deserves a medal haha .
Sheet will and 6 million dollars of money
The question is when will the tapes and behind the scenes footage will be released. Franco has seen them, they exist. We need to know them
Tommy is a real true artist - he should have been able to speak
I agree with you entirely. The more i've thought about it I think James only blocked him from the mic because _Everyone_ who won an award that night was getting speeches cut short. James knew he had people to thank and that Tommy would clearly take too much time and be mostly unintelligible. That's my take anyway.
gabelogan56 agreed
Tommy Wiseau is a good guy, wai keep James haking on him ;/ so sad. I dont like it.
He is not, he loves him, he is more obsessed with him than anyone else, he even convinced himself he is Tommy.
Tommy wiseau sound like Michael Jackson
Stars wth their own way good dnt like thm to do wht evr audience mainly think ... becoz recent days they r doing mad..like they r helping thm... but dont NEED TO DO THAT.NEVER WANT THT WHEATHER I DIE OR BE O BUT HAVING WISH TO SING OR WRITE STORY.
Oh hi James
James touches his face a lot (also compare him to Seth Meyers- he only touched his face once)
Seth Myres: "its weird when things work out for non simulation programs like me"
Tommy Wiseau is the real life Forrest Gump
Greg, u think I'm villan?
I definitely think differently of james franco now and not in a good way
there is a documentary or something about h ow tommy wiseau was as a kid ?
Disaster artist 🖼
I can relate I suppose
In a round about way
Why are they looking down on him? Calling him crazy?
They shouldn’t have down that with the tapes.....
What kind of money Danny!?
I still have no clue who Tommy is????
Tommy Wiseau is cute lol "this destiny james!"
The room feels like how weird Salvador Dali was but in movie form. It is literally so bad that it’s good. I think it’s a masterpiece. The way he acted on set and all of who he is just makes me feel like he wanted the film to be known for being made in just as crazy an environment as it shows. Top 10 movies of all time. Like the butchery of the drama genre was on a magnum opus level of precision. It’s anti art in a way most people usually wouldn’t see it as.
Just noticed how weird the side of Seth's hairline is
You are using him and he is the fool.
They put his ideea and put into practice awredy
I think it would be better if Seth addressed the sexual misconduct at the end of the interview, because it seems a bit awkward because they literally just talked about the allegations.
Matt Vivian Really not surprised you’re not a woman.
That's not really relevant. They still talked about it, as they should.
For all those saying James is a jerk bc he showed tommy's tapes and didn't let him talk...
Baby face a cool guy
nice beard
Why didnt he let tommy speak??
Nah, Its kindof silly to just ask him up there and not let him say anything. Why then even get him up there?
At first i thought the same thing...but thinking about it, it was James's movie that he made and put together to earn it all, plus very limited time to thank the people who worked on it.
nobody care what tommy speak...they all just gonna laugh to him anyway like hes somekind of a circus clown
He did naaaat
Thats something they should have agreed upon beforehand. I'm sure Franco wanted to speak and I totally get that he didn't want to risk getting his time cut short. Wiseau didn't make the Disaster Artist.
But I don't like how they make fun of him honestly. It's funny. Wiseau is a strange guy, but it's so fucking mean that they are mocking him in every interview. Wiseau was cool about them making the movie and deserves a modicum of respect from Franco and Rogen.
Making fun of Wiseau in private or in more obscure podcasts is more appropriate, but they are mocking him on every major talkshow there is and it is such a dick move when Wiseau has done nothing but being cool towards them.
Tommy's direct/ clear gesture reveals James possessive meanness.
