I agree. It’s definitely shooting her onto a whole new level. She has officially surpassed Lindsay Lohan‘s career (in terms of acting ability and fame) and up there with Rachel McAdams now. I do believe she’s gonna go much further though because she has shown such multidimensional aspects to her skills as an actor. You know Hollywood executives and directors are swarming this woman right now. It’s interesting what the last 20 years have done for the 4 woman in Mean Girls. Especially the 3. Starting the film Lindsay Lohan was the big name attached and after the film release she was on her way to the A-lister status. These other girls were pretty much forgotten soon after the release or only remembered for these roles in that movie. Fast forward today and LiLo is in the backseat and these other girls have come such a long way in their careers. Amanda Seyfried and Rachel McAdams especially. The dark haired one is pretty much known for Hallmark and holiday movies. LiLo does have a Netflix holiday film coming out later this year that’s gotten a lot of publicity, so maybe that’ll bring her back somewhat but as for Amanda - absolutely fantastic and I look forward to what she brings us in the future.
@@leamanc Right? That was the first role I knew her in, so this behavior is very canon to me 🤣 2nd role I saw her in was Jennifers Body, which is still a fav of mine to this day. Because of the sexual content, I can't suggest in every situation 😕
It’s so weird watching Amanda Seyfried be the odd girl out on The Dropout because she’s spent so much of her career being the pretty, sorority, party girl. Especially knowing that her and Elizabeth Holmes are nearly the same age as well. Uncanny valley.
Eventhough Amanda Seyfried is an Oscar nominee, part of me felt that she's truly underrated. I'm glad she got to play serious criminal oles like Elizabeth Holmes, I'm sure she would do great because she's super talented
I'm convinced that no other late night show does awkward this well, this adorably. Amanda Seyfried should have a regular spot on Late Night just to assist Seth with this supercuteoddball vibe.
@@stillhere1425 Ooh, Amanda Seyfried and Aubrey Plaza in a buddy cop movie, with Seth as their eternally frustrated police captain and Fred as the bad guy iguana smuggler. That just has hit written ALL over it :-D (and of course a cameo for Wally)
Ok but she has this woman down, for real. Seen the first three eps and it's actually a little eerie to watch her nail the mannerisms (not to mention the Elizabeth Holmes Voice).
She said "fasnacht" so many times that my brain is now inserting her saying "fasnacht" into that scene where she is saying "an inspiring step forward" in a deep voice over and over again. I am just picturing her in her dressing room before the show saying "fasnacht" in the mirror just like that.
Amanda has never failed to impress my with her range, ever since she played the eldest daughter in Big Love. Having seen The Inventor (Documentary about Theranos), which provided plenty of EH footage, I have to say Amanda is killing it in this role. It's kind of freaking me out how amazing she is in this portrayal.
I like her because she is real and someone who could just shoot the breeze with. I know she usually plays bimbo parts and had to see her in this role. She is phenomomal. Definitely proved her talent. I am permanently a fan now after this interview and this TV show. Down to earth is my cup of tea.
Ok. I've seen enough. If she and Aubrey Plaza don't get cast to do a NetFlix reboot of Laverne & Shirley together, I'm finding a new planet to live on.
Jack B - I second that. Amanda and Aubrey are 2 of the most quirky, socially awkward, awesome people i can think of. Being a raging introvert myself, i can identify with them when they have to be themselves instead of playing a role.
She is so absolutely adorable and on point and smooth with everything she says. You can tell how thoughtful she is with everything she says yet still being cute AF.
Watched the first two episodes last night and Amanda is phenomenal. She really humanises Holmes quite a bit. I still think she is an awful person but Amanda sells the character so bloody well.
Fastnacht (Fasting Night) is just the Pennsylvania Dutch version of Mardi Gras. You spend Shrove Tuesday eating up the good stuff 😋 before Lent starts on Ash Wednesday!
Amanda is fabulous. How she disappears into thought as she is talking. I can relate to her in so many ways. I tend to speak like her getting lost often. I loved the dropout. She is unstoppable force of nature.
Amanda seyfried ❤ for the first time in my life I feel like I've seen an angel. Her singing, her acting, her skintone voice, is mesmerizing, her beauty I've never seen anything like it, she is fairy tale princess, a full moon in the sky, sunkissed beauty, i never believed there are angels but after seeing seyfried i totally believe now , such an astounding beauty
I'm sad that her last movie A Mouthful of Air had very little marketing. She was great in that movie and I love the movie. One of the most overlooked movie of last year
This last year, or I think two years...I started doing free trials during pandemic, and I saw a pretty damn good suspense film with her and Kevin bacon and I remember thinking you know marketing is bad when we don't even know bacon is still in the game and his wife was played by her. That's 80's me and millennial me giving each other a high five and thanking ourselves for still being alive. She has such poise.
@@leyjam3788 Based on a best selling book that I never heard off, Seyfried plays Julie, a young New York City mother and children’s book author who, in the early moments of the movie, attempts suicide. She has been struggling with postpartum depression, her suffering too much to bear. It's basically about mental illness on postpartum depression which Seyfried's character suffered from and the movie managed to make us as audience feel what's inside her head and Seyfried was great in that movie. It's a quiet calm harmless drama movie, not a horror movie
@@Bjork4s I didn't get if it was about postpartum depression or depression in general because Amanda's character seemed like she had trauma and issue way before she became a mother.
It’s a pA Dutch thing- It’s like Mardi Gras in donut form- faschnaht- it’s square donuts. I moved to the Lehigh valley and was like “what?” But it’s how people got rid of flour sugar and butter before lent. You’re welcome. Love you Amanda!!
In Germany it‘s called Fastnacht or Fasching or Karneval. We tradionally we eat donuts which have a lot of names over here, depending which region you‘re living in. Berliner/Pfannkuchen/Krapfen are the most common names.
Thats funny cause as I'm watching this I was like, yea, Faschnaht Day, I thought it was something that was commonly celebrated. I thought it was odd that Seth never heard of it. I'm from the Lehigh Valley too, ha ha, did not realize it was regional.
I´ve been indulging in too many psychology podcasts. While everyone else finds her cute and nervous Im like "Oh, that looks like a trauma response", forgetting that nervousness exists and its not very normal to talk at a show like this
Huh. I learned something new today. "Fastnacht (also spelled Fasnacht, or in Pennsylvania German: ) is an annual Pennsylvania Dutch celebration that falls on Shrove Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday. The word translates to "Fasting Night" or “Almost Night” in English. The tradition is to eat the very best foods, which are part of the German tradition, and much of them, before the Lenten fast. Fastnachts (pronounced /ˈfastnaxt/ in German) are doughnuts. There are three types of Fasnacht, one made with yeast, one made with baking powder, and one made with potatoes and yeast. All are slightly crispy on the outside and not as sweet as standard doughnuts."
"Amanda Seyfried Felt Connected to Elizabeth Holmes While Filming The Dropout". Wow - she felt connected to Elizabeth while memorizing and then saying lines that someone wrote for her, and while pretending to be Elizabeth. So amazing!! I had a ham sandwich for lunch.
Fastnacht day is the PA Dutch or German tradition associated with Fat Tuesday. It occurs on Fat Tuesday or Shrove Tuesday. Because many Christians choose to fast or deny themselves sweets and treats during Lent, it was common to indulge on Fat Tuesday. Fat/Shrove Tuesday is the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday, which is the beginning of Lent. To prepare for Lent, many religions emptied their pantries of indulgences like lard and sugar. In using up the supplies, the fastnacht was born.
Does Amanda live in the NYC area? On a farm?! Fresh eggs are always nice. Sad about the animals. But the cow herd across the road from me has returned for the season. Its good to see them again.
This role is an inspiring step forward in Amanda's career.

Hahah good one
Amanda has a slightly unhinged, awkward, ADD, weird vibe and it’s so natural and relatable. It’s like she has all her characters in her at once
she's so much weirder than I ever would have thought. I'm in love
I’ve been a fan since Mean Girls, and yeah, she’s weird af. And such a babe.
No Alice..I'm in love with you!😊🏃♂️
she's an oddball for sure. I found out that she collects taxidermy when she was a guest on Conan and was hooked ever since.
@@leamanc Right? That was the first role I knew her in, so this behavior is very canon to me 🤣

So is Holmes...

Hahaha same
Eventhough Amanda Seyfried is an Oscar nominee, part of me felt that she's truly underrated. I'm glad she got to play serious criminal oles like Elizabeth Holmes, I'm sure she would do great because she's super talented
She was great in Big Love
Amanda Seyfried is certainly underrated as hell compared to a lot of OVERRATED actresses and other celebs I mention.
she is so under rated !!! Jenifer's body was great
it's because she didn't want to change that McQueen dress at the Oscars! lmao
Same, ive always said shes underrated too.
I'm convinced that no other late night show does awkward this well, this adorably. Amanda Seyfried should have a regular spot on Late Night just to assist Seth with this supercuteoddball vibe.

Sounds great!@@SteveSmartPoetryandMusic
@@kooale And of course Jack Antonoff would have to be Fred's partner in crime after his last Late Night appearence 😁
Had no idea how hilarious Amanda Seyfried is!! I was laughing the whole time, she seems like a lovely person
From Karen in Mean Girls to this! Wow! She mimics Elizabeth’s mannerisms so well in the series. Amazing!
Ok but she has this woman down, for real. Seen the first three eps and it's actually a little eerie to watch her nail the mannerisms (not to mention the Elizabeth Holmes Voice).
Seth meyers is the most personable host yet! Watched the other late nights with Amanda and really saw a difference with this one.

Been hopelessly in love with Amanda Seyfried for going on eighteen years. This interview does not ease my heartache.
i think Alpha Dog is when it began for me. god i wanna play Marco Polo with her.
She’s AMAZING in Chloe. So hot

She is so delightfully quirky.
She really is!

It is actually German, from the catholic church’s pre-Lent celebrations. Rose Monday, Shrove Tuesday and then Ash Wednesday

thank you Seth for letting her show her personality - shes freaking great on the show and wow irl seems pretty damn cool
That is EXACTLY how every farmer responds when someone asks how many chickens they have. 😂

The oddity and beauty of Amanda Seyfried always gets to me. I love her.
She's always sooo fascinating.
Just finished watching the series on Hulu. She was amazing! Great series. I hope she won something for it. 👍🏼
She is like Jeff Goldblum in the body of a beautiful lady. she is sooo wierd. I love her.
now that would be a sexy couple
lol went from goat pooping to playing elizabeth holmes in a blink of an eye, i loved this.
i love how much they talked about the goats in their lives. Seth Meyers really is a top tier host
Amanda is amazing she’d be on a red carpet then back on her farm then off doing a stunning Lancôme ad and she can sing with the best of them
She is truly amazing
Super underrated actress

She’s done such a good job. Love the show
Haha it's like the first time that a celebrity brought an egg as a gift 🤣😄
She did an amazing job portraying Holmes...
why’d they talk about farm animals for so long 💀
Oh my god I’ve never seen her real personality come out 😂 I actually in love
She’s so random I love it

She was out of mainstream for so long, now she’s speaking very carefully to not offend anyone by mistake
I've known her since Alpha Dog! The 2006 true story film. So happy for her and she's as lovely as she's always been!
What a performance Amanda !!! I’m in Awe!👏🏼✨❤️❤️❤️
she’s so adorable!
I have 12! Chickens are the best bests and they also give us these beautiful eggs!! Loved the show. You are amazing In it! Well done,. Such a talent!
I love Amanda ☺️
What can i say, i just love Amanda. I loooooooove her!!!! Like for real. 😅

She seems SO endearing!
Chad Michael Murray is so specific and I love it
SHES AMAZING IN THIS SERIES. It is a Must watch
She's weird.....
I LOVE HER ❤️❤️❤️
She literally said she counted her chickens, but then a second later can't remember their number. Lol
"Amanda Seyfried Felt Connected to Elizabeth Holmes While Filming The Dropout". Wow - she felt connected to Elizabeth while memorizing and then saying lines that someone wrote for her, and while pretending to be Elizabeth. So amazing!!
I had a ham sandwich for lunch.
Just don't count them before they hatch... heard bad things about that.
Amanda absolutely nailed the role! Definitely shows she studied Elizabeth.
Us here in PA Dutch country are screaming internally watching this…..
Amanda was incredible as Holmes, well done!
She is so good in "The Dropout"! She made me literally despise Elizabeth Holmes. Such great acting for sure.
She's plays good roles. Mank is her best work.
I like Chloe the most.
Yesterday (when this aired) was also National Pancake Day!🥞
I'm glad she had a better time with you. That other recent interview was weird and I think we could tell something was not right.
Which other interview?
@@BbGun-lw5vi She was on Jimmy Kimmel recently as well. Not sure if that’s what they are referring to. Seemed like it went ok to me
She seemed off in this interview. My guess would be that she was high.
@@patriciabagby90 guess again
@@patriciabagby90 I'm thinking she's likely a bit flustered and unfocused from the stress of running late.

She nailed! Deserve a Emmy nomination
Is Amanda going to be on every month now? I would be OK with that!
Her acting was soooo good
shes incredible in the dropout
Fastnacht is Mardi Gras in the German speaking parts
I didn't know she was like this! I love it!
I need closure on the baby bird story.
Fastnacht is actually a German holiday which is basically like carnival(middle of March). Celebrating to fast until Easter!
I wish I had been in the audience last night!
I wonder if playing her took a toll on her voice lol. Imagine having to go that deep all the time
God, she is just so lovely, still.
Amanda is living the life I want 😩 Tired of the city

In a good, adorable way. :)

When you make an introvert do interviews this happens. Don't force us into this guys!
Her quirky and awkward personality only makes her even more attractive. And she is already quite stunning.
Amanda, you made me uncomfortable.

Loved her since Veronica Mars.
My god she is so awkward and I love it.
