the first time they rebooted her and she was "begging" to be spared was so funny, i loved how she switched back instantly to her jolly self as soon as eleanor and chidi stepped away. a great actress
The thing I love about D'Arcy's portrayal of Janet, was her ability to communicate deep sadness and emotion with her eyes, even though she was "not a robot". Her eyes when the main characters went through the final portal, or when Ted was making the one way trip to earth? Very touching. I hope we will hear D'Arcy doing something new and exciting soon as she is a very talented actor.
I loved how nuanced and brilliantly played Bad Janet was. The fact that she doesn't have to poop, but rather chooses to felt like an act of defiance in a stifled system.
honestly I feel like that's a cop out. It's an amazing cast and an amazing show with a wonderful message. Janet's the cherry on top of a fantastic show.
It blows my mind that Janet was a role they left ambiguous. They were open to casting either man or woman, young or old. So many options but they definitely picked the right actress and I cant imagine what the show would be like with someone else
"You can ring my BELLLLLLLL...ring my bell!.......Wait a second....what was I doing? no! I was looking for that stupid clicker thingy! argh! those infectious disco grooves!!!"
I love Janet all the times she begged for her life when Chidi, Eleanor or Michael was about to reboot her. My *favorite* moment was when she said, *"I have Hamilton tickets and there's a rumor that DAVEED DIGGS is coming back!"* 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 That line was hilarious then but now that millions have seen Daveed as Lafayette and Jefferson in Hamilton, it makes even more sense that she would use him as the reason not to be rebooted! 😁
I learn so much from watching D'arcy Carden, as a performer. She makes things look easy that really, when you look back at them they're just so impossibly difficult to pull off. And to make endearing, funny and entertaining.
Can we just think about how many people she played. She di all the good janet's all the bad janet's AND the neutral janet's AND the episodes where they were all janets
The evolution of the Janet and Michael friendship really is a beautiful part of the show. From season 1 ("This will not affect me at all...") to how much she cared about him and worried about him and his fate in the end - it was such fun to watch. And so moving!
It's amazing how she nailed all the body language and accents,and overall just all the characters. She's able to change her expressions quickly,like the rebooting fail-safe thing. She's an amazing actress
I loved when all the Janet's got marbleised, Disco Janet's was a mini mirror ball. And I knew that Maya Rudolph was going to sing/dance in her void, I knew it!
Right? I know that they say janet kinda feels all times all at once but that doesn’t seem to be the case- she obviously feels the passage of time and just kinda remembers stuff ridiculously well, even Michael is going to come back to the good place and eventually go through the door, I hope they paired her with Tahani once she gets certified-

Wait idk why I *just* processed that D'Arcy plays Bad Janet too I'm just rewatching the show for the third time, and if not for this video I still wouldn't have processed it
lets just talk about how good of an actor she is, even just in this show?! she played multiple rolls, including a version of the core 4 AND NAILED ALL OF THEM! that is talented!!
I love that she kept apologising at the start as if anyone would be offended by her saying that one of the versions of her character wasn’t as fun to play as another version of her character
Especially watching the last season of the good place.. I just kept thinking, "the woman who plays Janet is as an incredible actress" over and over lol. She's phenomenal
I love this! D'arcy's acting she really did everyone's mannerisms so well, and all her characters are so fun to watch! I am definitely going to re-watch this series its so adorable and really intelligent. I love the ethical discussions! I adore this interview, makes me love the show even more!
I also loved the brief sighting of Ja'Net, the sexy Janet when Michael goes through his existential phase after the Trolley Problem. That pink dress and blonde wig were amazing!!! 🤗🤗🤗
i am so glad to find a video of her talking about her acting process because i remember thinking "its crazy how i see all these different characters even though its just one actress playing". Sometimes when you have one actor playing many characters it works and sometimes it doesnt. This time it wans't just fine it was excellent i love her.
The episode where she played all of the other main characters was perfection and just the perfect thing for her to give to someone to say hey here's my range of acting go back and watch just a couple episodes and she could get a role in pretty much anything.
@@johantheking7874 imma be real. i dont know what you mean. are you making a comment saying gender is what your chromosomes are? are you kidding? im not trying to be rude. i genuinely want to know
@@johantheking7874 you're good. i technically dont know what my chromosomes are, even tho i can make assumptions (i could still be wrong) so for all i know, my chromosomes could say im nonbinary. but yeah, i was talking about my gender identity
I think I speak for every viewer of the Good Place when I say that we want D’arcy to give us a voicemail and/or a ringtone and/or a notification sound as Janet!
Janet is a very unconventional role, and she absolutely nailed it. She needed to be Siri one minute, a jerkass the next and a dear friend right after. What a performance.
"let's get some information first. We'll ask Janet. Hey Janet!" "Ahh!" What the fork! Who are you!" "I'm Janet. I'm the informational assistant here in the good place." She's like this walking data base. You can ask her about the creation of the universe, or history-" oh! Their was a guy who lived in Avondale, Arizona around 2002 his name was Kevin Paltonick.... Is he gay?" "No." "Really?....huh. I guess he just didn't want to have s#x with me." That is correct." That's fine I wasn't that into him any way." "Yes you were." I've watched the show 19 times, don't judge me.😑
“Big fat sacks of dookie” and the poop/fart insults will never fail to crack me up 😂 I love this show so much ! It’s like new girl for me! I can watch it a million times!
On Community, Abed talks about identifying with characters like Data, Johnny 5, Mork, Spock... characters that observe the human condition from an outsider perspective and serve as a baggageless mirror. Janet should definitely be on that list.
Did she get an award or anything for this show? Cause damn she deserves so much credit for being so versatile with the role not to mention pretending to be the other characters as janet.
Just seriously let's give it up for D'Arcys range as an actress. Having to play the rest of the cast as people looking like her, all the variations on Janet and its not easy to pull off that calm indifference of neutral Janet, all that nuance and she forking nailed it. Brilliant show I both want more of and am very satisfied with how it ended and the brilliant acting is so much of that.
the first time they rebooted her and she was "begging" to be spared was so funny, i loved how she switched back instantly to her jolly self as soon as eleanor and chidi stepped away. a great actress
when she said her kids were just a stock photo from the crowd at the nickelodeon kids choice awards i laughed so hard
She managed to do it in a way that was hilarious and not even remotely jarring. That’s impossible.
This was the scene that got me to watch the show
The button bit is a solid classic
You forgot Good Janet pretending to be Bad Janet!
You forgot Eleanor Janet pretending to be Jason Janet.
You forgot Bad Janet pretending to be Good Janet
And bad Janet pretending to be good Janet
And Eleanor Janet pretending to be Jason Janet while talking to Chidi Janet
You forgot Janet when she gets rebooted
D’Arcy doing Eleanor is SO impressive, all the head movements and subtleties omg
My favorite has to be D’Arcy as Eleanor as Jason.
The thing I love about D'Arcy's portrayal of Janet, was her ability to communicate deep sadness and emotion with her eyes, even though she was "not a robot". Her eyes when the main characters went through the final portal, or when Ted was making the one way trip to earth? Very touching. I hope we will hear D'Arcy doing something new and exciting soon as she is a very talented actor.
yeah, I'm exicited to see more of D'Arcy too.
Watch "A League of Their Own"! :) She is in it and it's fantastic!
Janet is not a girl, not a robot, but Janet is the best.
D’Arcy: I love this gal
Janet: Not a girl
Ikr, I couldn't help but think "not a girl!" after she said that! lol
I want more disco janet.
Me too.
we all did. we all did....

I loved how nuanced and brilliantly played Bad Janet was. The fact that she doesn't have to poop, but rather chooses to felt like an act of defiance in a stifled system.
Let's be honest, Janet carried the whole show.
and Jason!
Yes ! (And Shawn ) but yes
honestly I feel like that's a cop out. It's an amazing cast and an amazing show with a wonderful message. Janet's the cherry on top of a fantastic show.
Janet was great but she didn’t carry at all. The entire main cast was amazing
I'm not gonna Derek with you, Derek was very Derek.
D'Arcy Carden should have gotten the Emmy for comedy just for playing all the main characters in her void.
3:43 That "And my husband Jason was visiting that day" got me confused for a second 😂
🤣
Same, lmao. Good thing they included a clip afterwards.
the fact that her husband's name is jason
It blows my mind that Janet was a role they left ambiguous. They were open to casting either man or woman, young or old. So many options but they definitely picked the right actress and I cant imagine what the show would be like with someone else
D'arcy? Charming
The Good Place? Amazing
The writers? Genius
Janet? Janet
Hotel? Trivago
Janet? Not a girl.

lol remember in season one janet kept giving michael cacti XD
That was the best episode for sure🤣
Can we just think about how many people she played. She di all the good janet's all the bad janet's AND the neutral janet's AND the episodes where they were all janets
Not people
And disco janet
Not a girl :)

Janet is my favorite character on the Good Place
Her Eleanor was perfect honestly. I can truly tell she's in Janet's body or the combinations of physical elements whatever.
She's a versatile actor. And that is all proved in one episode 💙😂
So D'Arcy had an existential crisis playing Will as Chidi Janet? Ok that's awesome
It's amazing how she nailed all the body language and accents,and overall just all the characters. She's able to change her expressions quickly,like the rebooting fail-safe thing. She's an amazing actress
I loved when all the Janet's got marbleised, Disco Janet's was a mini mirror ball. And I knew that Maya Rudolph was going to sing/dance in her void, I knew it!
I feel bad for Janet. All of her friends--even Michael!--all end up leaving her.
Right? I know that they say janet kinda feels all times all at once but that doesn’t seem to be the case- she obviously feels the passage of time and just kinda remembers stuff ridiculously well, even Michael is going to come back to the good place and eventually go through the door, I hope they paired her with Tahani once she gets certified-
Tahani was still around and micheal would be back eventually. Plus time wasn’t the same for her, they were always with her.
That was a big spoiler I wasn't ready for to be honest. Still had a few more episodes
I think that when she said she felt all times at once she was just saying that to make Jason feel better

This video makes me love D'arcy even more. I didn't realize how awesome at acting she is, and now the episode Janets became even better for me
I cried when she talked about evolved Janet
I love that she kept apologising at the start as if anyone would be offended by her saying that one of the versions of her character wasn’t as fun to play as another version of her character
Neutral Janet probably doesn't care whether D'Arcy hates or loves her.

Is Disco Janet from the Good Place for people who love disco, or from the bad place for people who hate disco???
Seeing as Michael knew about it, and enjoyed it, either both or just the bad place
the Disco place
I think there was probably a period of time when all Janets were briefly Disco Janets.
Disco Janet was actually a thing made in the good place to cheer up the good place residents
Ugh we need an Emmys redo for D'Arcy.
D'Arcy is a great actress. I love her.
I also loved the brief sighting of Ja'Net, the sexy Janet when Michael goes through his existential phase after the Trolley Problem. That pink dress and blonde wig were amazing!!! 🤗🤗🤗

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who loves Disco Janet
My favorite Janet moment was when bad Janet that was disguised as good Janet told Jason that the Jaguars released Blake Bortles.
The Janet who pressed the button.
I love D’Arcy so much 💜💜💜
D’arcy played such a range of Janets and she did an amazing job on each of them. Especially mimicking the other main cast members.
Janet is the thing that glues everything together.
"I get to have the meat of my face hang off the bone"
damn that is like some Shakespeare shit
I love that the Tesla Cyber Truck was on a billboard in Bad Janet's Void. 🤣
D'arcy is such a good actress and such a sweet human. I was also shocked when I learned she is 40, so pretty too!
The episode where she played all of the other main characters was perfection and just the perfect thing for her to give to someone to say hey here's my range of acting go back and watch just a couple episodes and she could get a role in pretty much anything.

I literally love D'Arcy with my entire heart
love d’arcy.
D'Arcy is such an amazing actress. Her body language playing the other characters was spot-on.
The way Manny speaks is straight up adorable
D'arcy: I LOVE HER I LOVE PLAYING HER
Me: Not a girl
Still female though.
@@Khaim.m certainly not female, but still goes by she/her pronouns
Disco Janet is the best for me! So random but so fun :D
When she said Hi there for the first time, I didn't know she'd be carrying it throughout 💙😂
I'll miss Disco Janet so much! I have to say, she was my favourite.
Man, we should've gotten *SO MUCH MORE* Disco Janet.
I'm gonna go listen to Anita Ward now...
It's adorable that she apologized to the Janets as though their feelings would be hurt by ranking! Janet forever.
Janet is a very unconventional role, and she absolutely nailed it. She needed to be Siri one minute, a jerkass the next and a dear friend right after. What a performance.
D'Arcy is such an amazing actress that they let her do the whole episode herself ❤️
(Btw it's 100th comment)
There's many things I loved about GP, but it certainly made me a D'Arcy Carden fan.
Nice interview! Love D'arcy
Can we talk about how amazing she is?! she is freaking gorgeous!! I mean come on!
i remember watching this show and always marveling at d'arcy carden's talent
I love all the Janets 🥺
This made me want to re watch The Good Place, it was such a good show
Each and every Janet was awesome! My favourite character in the show.
She's such a great actor, her acting in the scenes where she plays all the other characters but in Janet's body was phenomenal!!
This reporter/ journalist did a really great job! D'Arcy is amazing as always too!
The best Janet was the Janet that was inside Janet all along.
when Darcy said "can we talk about farts for a second?" I said OUT LOUD, i would love nothing more
The fact that I’m just finding out that D’Arcy played all the Janets just dug rats me like How did Am I just finding out about this talent 🙃😭
Honestly I think she did such a great job capturing the way all the characters move and their ticks and stuff when she played the 4 as Janets
janet's one of my fav character in the series!!
They forgot the Janet that was blond and I guess was “with Michel” during his midlife crisis
Oh yeah lol. That was still regular Janet though, Michael just had her play the part.
Oh, yes. Janette
The thing I love the most about this show is how much D'Arcy Carden it gave us to enjoy.
I love how she says everything hard about playing the other characters as Janet was the talent of the other actors

Truly a wonderful character, and D'Arcy - YOU are Janet! Thank you for bringing so much to your part, it was a joy! Cheers.
