Netflix should commission Grian Chatten for a comedy special

[@ecg8510]

Grian woke up cheeky that morning!

[@sekanto1]

i didnt feel the interview was dumb at all, obviously very different people but i felt they were hitting it off here and there which made him being playful yet still happy to answer every question earnestly and with care

[@Garrett1240]

These comments (not yours) are what’s truly embarrassing. She clearly sensed that he was playing it very straight and dry therefore she played against that. I have no words for the dim-wittedness of many of those commenting below who couldn’t see that.

[@Est88-qw3pi]

I think people expect everything to be produced, edited, recorded and truncated to a small pockets of “perfection” like you find on social media. Switch your monitor to reality as Grian says.

Great interview

[@archiet2205]

There’s something in the contrast of the explicitly shallow American persona compared to the dry and nonchalant Irish character. Made for an entertaining watch…

[@Romany1111]

Everyone who's not Grian totally content to not actively participate in the silly interview.

[@keenh1075]

Somebody call Nardwuar

[@gd5830]

Boy the cringe is strong in this one, love it!

[@giovannimariadettori7819]

You think they really listen to Asap Ferg or he was just making fun of her super-american ego?

[@eeescal14]

Interview would have better with Chris Douridas, Anne Litt, or Jason Bentley. She will learn with experience.

NABROKOV

The American obliviousness is showing.

This woman doesn’t know who is Nabokov or how to pronounce it.

awkward interview jaja

[@AndyRobes]

This is embarassing. Grian you don’t have to make interviews, especially when you have to answer boring questions like this

She should get fired. So cringe.

Trying to imagine being as petty as you are… Yawn.
