I want everyone to know that Jim is 46 years old, 45 when this was filmed, because it's scares the shit out of me. He's like Paul Rudd. Dude doesn't age. I'm 23 and I look older than him.
Well i might argue that not working and being rich definitely helps with keeping your health and looking younger for longer. But that's just my opinion.
Isn’t it crazy how far we have come as a culture in 30 years? I mean Ellen DeGeneres was fired for being gay and today we get to see all of these married gays and it brings so much joy to my heart; humans can love and grow, let’s always remember that and always support our LGBTQIA+ community. Everyone deserves love and a family. ❤️❤️❤️ 🌈
krinkov545 hey how about you don’t click on a video that clearly brings up lgbtqia+ issues just to spread your hatefulness. Christianity is supposed to be about loving all. clearly you’re not a Christian. Just because someone doesn’t share your beliefs doesn’t mean they’re “screwed up in the head”. If you believe that then you’re the delusional one. How about keep your opinions to yourself. This person was just being kind and empathetic, and you’re just being a jerk, throwing out random bible verses that aren’t even relevant. If you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all.
@@sandyfaith9779 You can't cherry-pick the Bible. The Bible is also about accountability and helping others to see the truth. If you truly love someone and care about them as a human being, than we don't ignore their dangerous behavior. We help them by pointing out the terrible decisions they're making, for their best interest. Loving everyone is of utmost importance, but we don't do it by letting them destroy themselves. Accountability is love. Love isn't being willfully ignorant and pretending that sin isn't happening.
Yeah, its a shame that we don't get to see him in other big roles. But that happens a lot with actors on big hit shows like Friends, Sex and the City, Seinfeld etc... People can only see you as that role.
As a straight male I could definitely stand to see more gay rom-coms. I don't even know of any... but hetero rom-coms? Definitely sick to death of them and I do appreciate some of them. When Harry met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle, There's something about Mary etc.
ozayevable Oh, how clever and edgy you are. You know, it's about more than ticking political correctness boxes or something like that, I feel like what Jim Parsons and Kilowatt meant is that it's utterly boring and uninspiring to keep seeing just different versions of maybe 4 basic types of romantic comedies, just repeated to death without any innovation. All of these films are essentially the same, just played by different sets of unrealistically attractive actors pretending to be average and relatable. Give me some actual art, something clever and with substance, or at least different than all the copies of the same... Just because it's a feel-good rom-com doesn't mean it has to be completely predictable and vapid...
KiIowatt If you're interested, When Night Is Falling and Show Me Love (a Swedish film) are great films to watch. Although not technically rom coms, they're both very funny and romantic.
Sedalia, Mo. didn't get Love, Simon in our theater but we did get God's Not Dead 3. So yes there are parts of the United States where Love, Simon and Boys in the Band are not only not 'too late' but are considered 'too soon'.
Same where I live. Yes, gay representation is still desperately needed in much of the United States, especially rural U.S. And certainly in many parts of the world.
Joshua King Also in some other countries. We didnt get to see Love Simon in theaters at all. Like its ok to show high rating horror, ranchy comedies with hetero characters or whatnot. but cute gay romcom is too much apparently, ugh. So, yes, "we don't need those anymore" not just rude but plain ridiculous.
Parsons is so charming, funny, and up for whatever may occur during an interview. He comes across as a great guy, and I hope that he finds some roles really deserving of his nature in the future that outshine The Big Bang Theory. I mean, other than his ass kicking performance in the Muppet Movie from 2012 :)
Jim Parsons is correct. The title is from a line in A Star is Born when James Mason tells a distraught Judy Garland, 'You're singing for yourself and the boys in the band.'"
It is a must see.... especially for teens who fear rejection from family or friends, in cities and in rural areas. The culture of the home does not necessarily reflect the beliefs of the surrounding community.
when you're around like minded people, communication and language changes simply because there's a large amount of language whose only use is to defend.
I didn't think I was saying anything profound. I guess it just relates to the idea that we are all expected to have a couple faces. Who we are, and who we're expected to be. Those worlds collide when you're with people who are faking all the same things as you (we're all faking it) and the need to fake it is slowly replaced by the comfort of knowing there's no need? I just woke up. Sorry.
I don't even think it was a joke, which makes it even funnier ;-) I haf the same sensation when I saw the first hint of the cover: interesting modern theater instead of the classical "predicatable" (visually, textually and contextually) theater. Love to be surprised and overwhelmed by great art. Stephen Colbert simply is a huge nerd. Which is great!
I love Jim he's just so sweet and kind! And this gives me hope because I'm writing a gay romance novel set in 1660s England & I'm worried that it's taking me so long. Thank you for that, Jim 😃❤
Jon, I don't know where you hail from, but up until the early 1970s, you couldn't even say "hell" or "damn" on American television. I don't get it, either - I heard all kinds of "bad language" in my own home, as a kid, so I don't know what the censors thought they were "protecting" us from.
@Shallex Only a 4 year old would say something that stupid. Trump is a disaster. Apparently you don't have an issue with pathological lying or criminal behavior. Of the 12 presidents I've seen in my lifetime, Trump is a miserable failure in office, a despicable libertine and the most inarticulate cretin to ever hold public office.
Adam Bomb he gets paid a million dollars for one episode of big bang theory. Literally every time they record an episode he gets a million, look it up.
+Adam Bomb ~ "Deserve" may be the wrong word, but actors, entertainers, and athletes earn so much because they generate many times that for the organizations that utilize their services. And yes, in that sense, they "deserve" their earnings, it's the deal they made, and not free lunch.
Too late for _Love Simon?_ Seriously? Does there come a time when it's "too late" for an interracial romance movie set in the pre-Civil War south or in the south during Segregation? What if someone wants to make a movie about women's lib? Does there come a time when _that's_ too late? "Look at the _Roots_ miniseries. Look at all the cruel ways slaves were mistreated in this country." "Well, perhaps, but this message is too late."
lazyperfectionist1 Actually, the answer is not a given to me. It's a fair question. However, gay sexuality is about sexual activity and to some extent sexual culture, such as codes, party arrangements and exclusive trends. Some insist that it's universally fluid, something people can choose with self-determination, while others still claim its genetic or hormonal - that you don't choose. For millions sexual behavior is in the milieu of morality, like adultery, stealing, incest, lying, etc. The movement seeks to divorce sexuality from from faith-based learning, to pluck it singly from the narrative as though it shouldn't not be there. They noticeably don't object to the other 'sins' listed, perhaps because those don't disagree with their own code of conduct. So, why should any interloper get to tell believers to omit a doctrine from the scriptures as it inconveniences as prejudices people against them? The same question can be made regarding incest, adultery, lying and others, but who challenges those? What gives LGBTs the right to undermine the church? It isn't secular, but sacred and separate from the mainstream, which protects the public and the church as well. In this case, separatism serves a vital purpose - freedom of religion and freedom of speech. Inside of a church you can discuss it from a moral perspective without condemnation.

I have been running an LGBT youth group since the mid 90's and the kids today who saw Love, Simon were so happy and showed a big boost in their self-esteem and an improved outlook on their future.
I absolutely adore hearing him talk about his experience on stage, and the genuine smile on Stephen's face saying it makes sense. That's why I think Colbert is the best late night host, he really engages with the guest, and shows that he's listening and that he cares.
9:15 I realized that I *hadn't* been watching the video at 1.5x or 2x the normal speed. 😹 I don't watch TBBT, but I really like Jim Parsons, all of the interviews he does are great.
Jim Parsons seems to just discovers himself and gets to know himself better on every new interview. And for me, I ended up watching 8 seasons now after just watching some TBBT youtube videos two months back.
Love Simon was a HUGE progress on my country. (Honduras) here most people are homophobic, no matter how you talk to they know how bad gay people are treated. but seen this movie on a actually theater! And on premiere, made me so FUCKING HAPPY and made me think that perhaps we are changing for better. I NEVER expected to see this movie on theaters on here. Seeing it here is just stunning.
I want to take the time and comment and what a great interview this is and how well Steven can make a guest feel at home. Really great job and keep it up.
Love this guy! So smart, sensitive and sweet. Loved him in The Normal Heart: "Ahm a Southern bi-utch!" He's a little eccentric too - reminds me of a young Jeff Goldblum. Also loving the new Big Bang Theory spin-off show, Young Sheldon. Brilliant stuff! A Wonder Years for the digital age.
It’s such a joy listening to Jim, I could do that for hours. And I absolutely agree with Jim on the Love Simon movie: it’s never too late to tell stories like this and Boys in the band. As long as straight people can share their love stories and talk about their issues, gays deserve equal rights doing the same!! Love is love ❤️ 🌈
I've watched Love, Simon with my (now) wife two weeks after coming out to my family, moving away, and getting disowned for it. It was not too late for a movie like that. Though my coming out story didn't have the same kind of happy ending, that movie gave me hope that a happy ending was still possible. My family may come around eventually but I'm not holding my breath. In my experience, we're still far away from tolerance let alone acceptance for gay people.
He is eloquent and he is a convincing speaker, and he is absolutely right. All the false equivalence bullshit peddled by the insecure and narrow minded patriarchy must be so frustrating I completely get his outrage which was still smart as a whip, funny and engaging to watch. Not many people can pull that off and you see Stephen bathing in that enlightened yet still lighthearted fury. Too short a segment and Jim Parsons could fill an hour of great television and still I would feel having come up short. Love to listen to his brain at work, his heart at work and how they collide in his sentences.
@@albertoj.tomates2553 that's your opinion. You don't have to tell someone who likes Big Bang Theory that it's shit because that's just your opinion. It's a wonderful show and a lot of people find it funny and entertaining. It has also helped a lot of "nerds" to gain some confidence. And this show is popular worldwide. I'm myself from India and it's huge here
I love how Stephens just so amused by Parsons. Not in a judgmental way at all. It just seems like he enjoys having Parsons on the show and I love that. It's just so cool to see a host being genuinely happy about a guest.
This shows what pleasure it can be to see two intelligent people have a mentally stimulating conversation. So glad I didn't miss this interview. I wish it was longer though.
Man, this felt too short. I think these guys could have bantered and told stories for an hour easy. Two naturally funny guys like this together is such a treat to watch.
So happy the world has changed. I watched my cousin live a life where he could never show the truly amazing person he was. Although his family knew he was gay and we loved his magnetic and humorous personality the truth we all knew was still never discussed. How I wish he were still with us so he could have had a happy life and openly had someone to love. Something he deserved as much as anyone. I think part of the reason I enjoy seeing Jim Parsons is because he reminds me of my cousin. a man I cared for very much,
it is never too late for movies like Love, Simon. if anything there needs to be more films like Love, Simon because that way for people who cannot relate to straight romantic comedies
I saw the original play in 1969. It shocked the hell out of me and opened my eyes to a taboo subject at the time. I loved the play. The witty, sharp sometimes cutting one liners were unforgettable to this day.
For a certain type of gay representation, he means. Something that ticks all the usual cliched, self-imposed boxes, ignoring that we gays are as diverse and different as the straights.
since vera coda was criticising they play I assume he has seen it otherwise it's rather an unconstructive critic from him. also, Jim parsons point is many gay people can identify with the play. but I dont think all the gay people can be represented in one play.
Great interview and congrats to Mr. Parson's on his marriage, I love his character Dr. Sheldon Cooper on Big Bang Theory, that show is brilliant, glad his career is doing well.
It's so funny to hear him swear! Because Sheldon almost never swears and when he does its maybe a "doody" or a "crap." Love Jim Parsons to death! If you haven't seen "A Normal Heart, " see it now!
I hated when I saw those articles I live in a small town in California that is very very conservative and despite that, I still thought "oh this movie has to come here it's a big studio release." NOPE, instead, they decided to show that dumb Bella Thorne low budget straight couple rom-com. (which most people who see this comment will say what movie? and who? and prove my point) Even in California, there are still places where kids need this movie and sadly here they didn't get it hopefully others did. So no it's not "too late" it's actually incredibly needed.
Doctor Lyoko well you are asking about it meaning you didn’t know what movie right away proving my point that no one was clamoring to see it or heard of it, also you could have googled it I gave the name of the star of it, it was called Midnight Sun 17% on RT and a unknown production company.
Doctor Lyoko okay so I’m muting you because clearly you just want to pick a troll fight and I’m not here for it but if you are truly this ignorant watch the interview again, and again until maybe you see why it’s about more than that and what you care about.
Fun interview. And always hilarious as Sheldon! I once saw a terrific production of Boys In the Band years ago with Christopher Sieber (he played the dad of the Olsen twins on Two of a Kind), and I'm sure Jim Parson's production is probably just as great as that one was.
I want everyone to know that Jim is 46 years old, 45 when this was filmed, because it's scares the shit out of me. He's like Paul Rudd. Dude doesn't age. I'm 23 and I look older than him.

Watch The Boys in the Band. It's not a Rom-Com, but it's gay as hell, and he's absolutely phenomenal in it. It's on Netflix.
@@emmab5424 and he’s got Matt Bomer. Perfect movie

And on premiere, made me so FUCKING HAPPY and made me think that perhaps we are changing for better. I NEVER expected to see this movie on theaters on here. Seeing it here is just stunning.
I want to take the time and comment and what a great interview this is and how well Steven can make a guest feel at home. Really great job and keep it up.
as a queer person i found his annoyance when talking about it being 'too late for coming out stories' so painfully relatable
Love this guy! So smart, sensitive and sweet. Loved him in The Normal Heart: "Ahm a Southern bi-utch!" He's a little eccentric too - reminds me of a young Jeff Goldblum. Also loving the new Big Bang Theory spin-off show, Young Sheldon. Brilliant stuff! A Wonder Years for the digital age.
It’s such a joy listening to Jim, I could do that for hours. And I absolutely agree with Jim on the Love Simon movie: it’s never too late to tell stories like this and Boys in the band. As long as straight people can share their love stories and talk about their issues, gays deserve equal rights doing the same!! Love is love ❤️ 🌈
Sanny Spear I'm kind of waiting for a gay action hero too. Save the world! Get the guy!
Y’all are weird asf
I've watched Love, Simon with my (now) wife two weeks after coming out to my family, moving away, and getting disowned for it. It was not too late for a movie like that. Though my coming out story didn't have the same kind of happy ending, that movie gave me hope that a happy ending was still possible. My family may come around eventually but I'm not holding my breath. In my experience, we're still far away from tolerance let alone acceptance for gay people.
He is eloquent and he is a convincing speaker, and he is absolutely right. All the false equivalence bullshit peddled by the insecure and narrow minded patriarchy must be so frustrating I completely get his outrage which was still smart as a whip, funny and engaging to watch. Not many people can pull that off and you see Stephen bathing in that enlightened yet still lighthearted fury.
Too short a segment and Jim Parsons could fill an hour of great television and still I would feel having come up short. Love to listen to his brain at work, his heart at work and how they collide in his sentences.
Jim is hilarious. ❤️
How about "amusing" or are you just being a jerk?
Lenka Thl big bang theory its facking shit, and they only following a script
@@albertoj.tomates2553 that's your opinion. You don't have to tell someone who likes Big Bang Theory that it's shit because that's just your opinion. It's a wonderful show and a lot of people find it funny and entertaining. It has also helped a lot of "nerds" to gain some confidence. And this show is popular worldwide. I'm myself from India and it's huge here
@@albertoj.tomates2553 its not a reality show dumbass
Wonderful funny interview
fite me
The man is just awesome. As a straight man, I'm not afraid to say I love the man. I guess that would be my closet moment. ;)
Totally agree. I loved it when he got passionate about rom-coms.

I loved watching Stephen enjoy him talking rapid fire about not caring about sports.
Bumder
I love how Stephens just so amused by Parsons. Not in a judgmental way at all. It just seems like he enjoys having Parsons on the show and I love that. It's just so cool to see a host being genuinely happy about a guest.
This shows what pleasure it can be to see two intelligent people have a mentally stimulating conversation. So glad I didn't miss this interview. I wish it was longer though.
Jim Parsons is so cute... I love him. His interviews are funny as well as enlightening.
Man, this felt too short. I think these guys could have bantered and told stories for an hour easy. Two naturally funny guys like this together is such a treat to watch.
Jim is so adorable ❤️ i love how real and genuine he is
Just love him. He is so authentic, speaks his mind. Amazing
I would like to sit down and talk with him he looks like amazing person to me.
So happy the world has changed. I watched my cousin live a life where he could never show the truly amazing person he was. Although his family knew he was gay and we loved his magnetic and humorous personality the truth we all knew was still never discussed. How I wish he were still with us so he could have had a happy life and openly had someone to love. Something he deserved as much as anyone. I think part of the reason I enjoy seeing Jim Parsons is because he reminds me of my cousin. a man I cared for very much,
I love Jim Parsons!! I don't want The Big Bang Theory to end!!!
Colbert gets Jim to open up and truely express himself ....good stuff!!
Graham Norton would never interrupt a guest to share his own story
"They're fine! They're LOVELY!"
dead, lol
Jim Parsons is always a delightful interview
This interview was so energetic and good that I just watched it 3 times lol ... I just realized it
it is never too late for movies like Love, Simon. if anything there needs to be more films like Love, Simon because that way for people who cannot relate to straight romantic comedies
I went to see "The Boys in the Band" last week and loved it! Andrew was great and funny in it!
Yeah The Big Bang 30...
Cause Jim Parsons still looks like he's 30...
I love Jim Parsons, I would love to have coffee with him and talk about random everyday stuff lol.
I love ❤️ Jim no matter gay straight or bi , sweet soul
I saw the original play in 1969.
It shocked the hell out of me and opened my eyes to a taboo subject at the time.
I loved the play. The witty, sharp sometimes cutting one liners were unforgettable to this day.
Yes, Jim, bring on the gay rom coms! I love you... ♥
wish they had been on longer !! great fun interview
I swear, this guy looks EXACTLY the same after all these years! Does this guy ever age??!!
jim parsons is adorable and honestly the sweetest person in the world
A genuinly nice human being.
“Not giving anything away but you’re getting married” IM ONLY ON SEASON 5 FFS I HATE SPOILERS
For a certain type of gay representation, he means. Something that ticks all the usual cliched, self-imposed boxes, ignoring that we gays are as diverse and different as the straights.
so you have seen this play ?
goodwiccanwitch So do you have any constructive criticism?
since vera coda was criticising they play I assume he has seen it otherwise it's rather an unconstructive critic from him. also, Jim parsons point is many gay people can identify with the play. but I dont think all the gay people can be represented in one play.

“Jim Parsons? Oh, the Bazinga guy!”
I LOVE him. What an awesome person.
Victoria Shore but hes gay....
What a great interviewee he is. Delightful person :))
'Love Simon' is a wonderful film.
Always a fun interview when Jim is around.
It's not too late to play a character that doesn't make me want to strangle him or the character, in a friggin show that doesn't run all friggin day.
It's crazy how much I can hate Sheldon and BBT, but really like this dude in interviews.
Jim Parsons seems like a really good guy from this interview and unfortunately I’m only now giving him a chance. What a waste of an actor.
Hunter Tinsley Yes, it is crazy that you hate BBT.
Gaters gotta gate, man.
It used to be Scrubs before that Friends.
Zachary Quinto! There were so many Zachary Quinto jokes on TBBT and now Jim Parsons stars on Broadway with him.
That’s it I’m watching every Jim Parsons interview I can find
Great interview and congrats to Mr. Parson's on his marriage, I love his character Dr. Sheldon Cooper on Big Bang Theory, that show is brilliant, glad his career is doing well.
Im older and yeah i may be comfortable but there are still little 11 year olds who need to see this representation
It's so funny to hear him swear! Because Sheldon almost never swears and when he does its maybe a "doody" or a "crap." Love Jim Parsons to death! If you haven't seen "A Normal Heart, " see it now!
I hated when I saw those articles I live in a small town in California that is very very conservative and despite that, I still thought "oh this movie has to come here it's a big studio release." NOPE, instead, they decided to show that dumb Bella Thorne low budget straight couple rom-com. (which most people who see this comment will say what movie? and who? and prove my point) Even in California, there are still places where kids need this movie and sadly here they didn't get it hopefully others did. So no it's not "too late" it's actually incredibly needed.
Breanna Boyer what movie though and how does that prove your point?
Doctor Lyoko well you are asking about it meaning you didn’t know what movie right away proving my point that no one was clamoring to see it or heard of it, also you could have googled it I gave the name of the star of it, it was called Midnight Sun 17% on RT and a unknown production company.
Breanna Boyer why should i care about a movie one way or another just because it has a gay lead character?
Doctor Lyoko okay so I’m muting you because clearly you just want to pick a troll fight and I’m not here for it but if you are truly this ignorant watch the interview again, and again until maybe you see why it’s about more than that and what you care about.
Breanna Boyer I'm not trolling i legitimately want to know why it matters what the sexuality of the protagonist of a story is.
Jim Parsons is a delight. I want to see him at a dinner party or something so i can just watch him talk about stuff X)
I can still only see him as sheldon
MLGFearlessGamer lol same
Yeah, I think it's safe to say that Jim is pretty well liked by the reception he gets every time :D
Lovely man!
Jim Parsons is such a wonderful person,I love him :)
Nice socks, Jim :D
This guy is probably immune to hatred.
We gay guys get really hyper and incoherent when talking about gay things. xD
As another gay man I can confirm this.
Carter Milan shut up
Fun interview. And always hilarious as Sheldon! I once saw a terrific production of Boys In the Band years ago with Christopher Sieber (he played the dad of the Olsen twins on Two of a Kind), and I'm sure Jim Parson's production is probably just as great as that one was.
