I’m finding myself so pleasantly surprised by Jason’s level of engagement here. I feel his intent to be honest with Ali and us the audience, ask questions he’s truly curious about, and it helps that he clearly is a real fan of Ali’s show Beef. As someone who also loved Beef, a show that is about so many things, Jason’s main takeaway being that we are all ultimately the same, I feel, sheds light on his resolve towards empathy. What a lovely interview.
Makes sense! I’ve heard stories of people who met him and say he’s the nicest celebrity they’ve ever met
@@StefRWChe’s my neighbor lol
Okay, give them a show together IMMEDIATELY!
Yes, please! ❤
Yes!
A movie as well!
Yeah, what is going on here? Is this where the simulation gets crossed up and we only get this interview between these two incredible actors!? A series and movie please!
@@wadeclark6767 LOL exactly!!
"When you’re around somebody you admire, don’t be a fan, be an interviewer and ask them every question that you think will be helpful to you on your journey." Solid advice :)
This was my favorite of this series. They are really really listening to each other. It's refreshing.
😮. I m okooo😅
Ali Wong deserves the Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie for Beef. She was incredible.
I agree, she was really great but Elizabeth Olsen will most likely win that. This year has so many incredible performances, I personally want Bella Ramsey to win something.
It’s not a limited series it has a second season in the works
@@thiccyniccy4013that's great news!! I thought it was a mini series
David Choe stole the entire series
Lol
I could listen to Jason talk all day. He chooses his words so thoughtfully and has a way of expressing himself that hits me in the chest.
same. he has this air of just being so into his work without being obsessive nor snobbish. this is just a really passionate guy that loves music and acting and creating content.
I have such a soft spot for Jason. He seem so kind and gentle but with an underlying melancholy.
He seems awesome.
Yes! .. melancholy is the word I’ve been looking for
helps that hes a babe lol
I freaking love Jason Segel. This guy is a powerhouse of an actor. Every since I watched him play David Foster Wallace I am fascinated by his honesty and humility. I think his whole transformation into becoming an actual dramatic actor has really shown people how capable and authentic he can be when he gets the opportunity to play something that really touches peoples hearts.
BEEF and Shrinking are easily 2 of the best shows of the past decade. Love these two so much, their talent is off the charts
Whoever chooses the matches deserves everything. As always, I did not expect for this pairing to be so incredible. What a great match!
These segments are growing on me. Ali Wong. She was perfect in Beef. My goodness she was a loose cannon😂😂😂
This was my favorite pairing in this series this year. You can tell they had chemistry and flowed with each other in the topics. 🙌🏽🤩
These two seem extremely kind, and naturally funny. Thank you for this pairing! It was enjoyable to listen to them talk with each other. ❤
Great assessment I sensed the same about them
this is hands down my favorite in the actors on actors series. very genuine and earnest, like two friends catching up with each other. it almost felt like a therapy session. maybe because both of their voices are so calm and relaxing? 😂
Ali looks so freaking beautiful omg and the way they spoke and listened to each other is just really captivating....seriously imma need to know who the hell is behind the pairings of the Actors on Actors because damn seriously just loving it
Her hair was so on point. Who doesn't love an epic good hair day?
And the lip color, flawless skin, and outfit.
Jason Segel just feels like comfort to me. Love him.
I just love how well Ali Wong rocks the stylish glasses. She's also a great actress.
Ali looks stunning! I'm so happy for more discussion on Beef. The show is INCREDIBLE. looking forward to checking out Shrinking
I simply can not rave enough about Jason Segel. He is the most genuine person, his work the last couple of years has been so great, so personal and touching- we need to see him in more things like Shrinking, he's got it.
out of every ‘Actors on Actors’ thus far (save for Chris & Scarlett, Emma & Timotheé, and Jennifer & Viola 😅) i have never wanted a conversation to go for another 12+ hours.
this was such a perfect paring. someone PLEASE get them in a project together! their minds combined might create actual magic.
I love Ali 🥰 I'm so happy that she had this career growth
The communication between these two felt so organic. Huge fan of Ali!
these parings this year! wow. love them all. ali and jason are sooo different, but somehow it works like charm!
I’m so mad at you for still being in love with a heart who hurt a better heart this much. I hate this for you. When I literally could have recruited models to arrange a Beiber marriage for you. Unbelievable that you never protected your twin heart. Simply in UTTER disbelief about how dumb your smartass could be. Tried so hard for years and many mental illness kid cutty times to convince myself it wasn’t the case and you still to this day on Repeat. It’s sickness and the truest definition of insanity that you’re not at my house quelling my rage about it right now. It’s more Horrible friendship from you.
Same News!
Shrink did remind me of Beef in so many ways. I love this pairing.
Beef and Shrinking were both excellent series. Shrinking will go on, Beef was very interesting and unique in a way. All the best to you both Jason and Ali. Thanks for this conversation and all your acting and comedy.
Both in two of my favourite shows of the year!
I've watched nearly all of this series and this one seems like the most natural conversation between two people. ❤
This a random ass pair but I’m definitely here for it!
meh two romcom actors. One who's been in the game for a while, one up and coming. Makes sense to me!
why random? both incredibly strong at comedic writing, one in improv and one in standup, both with hit dark comedies... ???? huh?
@@ThePantheons I mean I’ve just never heard of them mentioning each other or being in anything together so it just seemed pretty random to me lol. I’ve always liked them both but it just never crossed my mind how cool it would be to see them together. It’s a great pairing.
@@TheAfricanGrey I'd love to see Melanie Lynskey and Murray Bartlett do one of these, an Aussie and a Kiwi!!
Jason is so bae and I live for miss Ali 🥰
Beef and Shrinking were both such pleasant surprises bc I had no idea either were coming out. Both really heartfelt and also funny.
These are two of my favorite entertainers of all time. Heart centered Jason and firey Ali. Thanks for this Variety and u two for helping me feel my own emotions.
perfect wording, friend
@@janeryder43 thanks!
This is the interview I was looking forward to the most! These have become my favorite series of the year. The honesty in their conversation was UGH AMAZING! Jason Segal is forever the best human.
This is the best interaction of this so far. They both asked each other in depth questions about their own creative processes.
Love them both
what a standout interview. brilliant, hilarious, and engaging.
would love to see Ali and Jason on a project together. amazing chemistry!
Thank you Ali, for being an inspiration to be bold and a force of nature, and thank you Jason for opening your heart and soul. So emotionally intelligent and giving. I find him really touching. Incredible energies and interaction here. Beef was GREAT and I can't wait to unfold Jason's performance in Shrinking.
I loved him since HIMYM and always thought his comedic performance (timing and devoted intensity) was on a level near David Schwimmer in Friends or Max in New Girl. Still laughing thinking about his face's expressions as Marshall lol. Really excited to see further his range
Jason segal would come into the coffee shop I worked at and was always the nicest guy ever
Shrinking is incredible. Was blown away by it.
the pair up we didnt know we wanted but absolutely needed!! such a great conversation. love these two so much
I loved them both together. I can’t wait to see them do a series or movie together. I think they’d be hilarious. 💞
Very engaging conversation! Love these couplings that Variety comes up with. FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL is a favorite movie, one I can watch repeatedly, lol. Jason Segel’s voice in this conversation surprised me - doesn’t sound like the same voice (lower) in the movie. I wouldn’t have recognized it if there was no video.
They're a fascinating pair to listen to, especially Jason.
I would've loved if he talked a bit more about growing as an actor while working on HIMYM. In season 6 Jason really proved that he can do way more than great comedy and also make us sob like a baby.
Ali Wong killed it in Beef, really felt like she showed off her acting chops more than any other role. Still gotta see Shrinking.
Shrinking is great also!
This was so charming. They seem like two such lovely, empathetic, talented people.
I truly do love these. As an inspiring actor (just starting acting classes) you guy inspire me.
Love their chemistry 💯💯
I’ve watched many of these and this is my favorite. Both were so engaged and articulate. They come off as either goofballs or abrasive and both were so soothing to watch.
Both are truly honest and down to earth people.
They have reached Hollywood level fame and yet it seems both are no airheads.
Gotta love both of em!
Wow. I watched the entire interview. This was such a great conversation.
Perfect pairing - this was a great watch.
I love love love this man so much. Great conversation between these too.
The chemistry is unreal
Ok, THAT'S my favorite conversation! Love both shows
This was SO incredbly good. TYSM!
this was so lovely! both their show are amazing
Jason wrote & created Dispatches from Elsewhere, it was such a good show and I wish they'd spoken about it in this interview
I love both of them! Great interview!!
This is so great. Talented people having insightful conversation and having a great time ^*^
Incredible conversation, like to listen more about both shows
Honestly two of my favorite actors!
Love Ali’s styling here!
I love this show
This conversation felt so good 😌
Both these shows are my favorite of the year!! Omg they were so so so good
Lovely human being… delightful, sincere, empathetic… among the finest of this series. Thank you… best wishes, health, joy, wellbeing… 🥂 🖖🏽
Best episode.
This was such a good chat and I hope they get to work on a project soon
I loved the depth of their conversation
I feel like Beef is at once a love story and a hate story. It was just magical. Love these two as well, great pairing here.
Fantastic interview
Loved it. Didn’t know about Shrinking but now I can’t wait to watch.
Love these two
I loved this! I'm such a huge fan of Jason Segel. Loved Beef and Ali too.
Jason is just literally spitting quotes, surprised to be so inspired haha
What a fantastic conversation! I hope they get a chance to work together on something one day
incredibly engaging conversation!
great interview, so much fun
This was really good. A fan of both, particularly Jason who I had 3 different callbacks for, for the show Dispatchers From Elsewhere. Love to see Artists being free and interacting with each other. Kudos🙏🏿
Loved this episode so much. Jason is forever so loveable, thoughtful, and present. Ali is forever my twin (girl I fully want to be Harrison Ford, sitting, telling jokes lol). Ali is so authentic and honest.
Comedians always know how to get an audience invested. (some of these episodes with some actors are soooo boring and way too artsy you have no clue what the heck they're talking about). I could listen to Jason and Ali talk about almost anything for hours!
i couldn't imagine any other actor as Marshall, he did an amazing job! I definitely have to see his recent work and Beef, but i loved this one, probably one of my favorites, their conversation felt very genuine and they were listening very closely to each other, it was great! :)
They are both lovely
AMAZING
Love this!
Give them another collab
I love love love Ali!
Yayyyyyy!!!! What a treat.
perfect match up
god there was so much good tv recently!!!!!!!
Great interviews!
They are both so cute and sweet, I need them in something together now
Ok - now I want the blooper reel 😂
I love Jason❤!! Shrinking was so good.
I really enjoyed this episode.
I loved BEEF so much. Great acting, so funny and touching, complex, with so many layers... Probably the best thing I've seen this year (along with The Bear (which I saw this year lol)). And I ADORE Jason. He's so honest and soft in the best best ways, I can't wait to see Shrinking.
I like this Jason. Look at his body language! His hand movements.
Lovely!
❤ me some Wong
Over the years I've heard of so many stories of encounters fans had when they saw Jason out in public. None of them have been pleasant. But the stories truly felt and came off like he was struggling with something internal. Then he disappeared for a long time, and I honestly wondered if he was okay. He's such a deep and passionate person, I love thats getting acknowledged more often now and that he's doing more interviews and shows. He's definitely one of the good ones. *** I'm not implying or suggesting he owes random people a pleasant and happy experience just because he was reckognized on the streets or simply because he's famous, he doesn't (nor does any actor!). Sometimes fans don't respect boundaries.
He wanted to get the heck out of LA, moved to NY, and wound up in a relationship with an artist woman for 8 years. They broke up in 2021, during the pandemic. So it took a while for him to get past, and in the process, at some point, was approached by Bill Lawrence about co-creating what we know as "Shrinking." He moved back to Cali (his parents still live in LA), but has said he has a place in Ojai. He also said in "Shrinking" interviews that he has a place near Pasadena. He's got demons like everybody else...and also happens to have tons of money to allow himself to take his time creating new things.
