Late Night with Seth Meyers

I urge anyone that hasn't seen The Bear to get on it. Such a solid representation of food service, and with really well written characters that are authentic. Can't wait for more to come.
Ditto about “waiting”. Must see. It’s the truth
Heard!, Chef! On the fly! Comin corner sharp!
As a chef I fell like I’m at work watching it
yeah I worked in a kitchen and this is very accurate. Plus the characters are all well written.
Binged the whole thing in one go. My only complaint is the dishwashers didn't get much love. Fucking amazing show.
Loving all the well deserved recognition Jeremy is receiving after Shameless.
Yessss he deserves it I’m almost finished with shameless watching it for the first time. And he’s the actor who stood out the most for me & also the actor who plays Carl & Actress who plays Veronica Kevin’s Girlfriend But Jeremy is sooo good 😊
Same. He was so more deserving than the increasingly atrocious writing on that show.
Lip's writing was frustrating on Shameless but also very real how very intelligent guys who don't have drive fall into the cracks. Its no wonder Carl and Ian thrived when Lip didn't. They may not have Lip's intelligence but they had drive and discipline that Lip never had. Lip is the cautionary tale of genius unrealized.
@@rumblefish9 That and he grew up in poverty so I totally agree.
@@neonoires So did Ian and Ian had to live with his bipolar disorder, overcame it and is doing better despite all the setbacks. Ian never got an offer from MIT or a recommendation to WestPoint like Lip did. Everyone in Lip's life tried their damnest to help Lip rise above it all. Mandy sacrificed a lot for him and barely got any thanks from him. Fiona did too and Lip never gave her the credit she deserved. Lip always felt a little entitled. Lip was offered so may opportunities, squandered them all and settled for less.
I don't how many lives he's lived but he has this very authentic way of acting that makes you feel like you're watching a real person's life. From a poor dude living on the southside of Chicago with his dysfunctional family to a Chicago chef, he nails it every time.
He comes across as really gracious, including giving shoutouts to the other cast and those who helped him with the role and to local restaurants that could use the support. Really good human being vibes.
The “heard, heard, heard” sent me straight back to my days in the restaurant business. Made me smile.
Or yelling "corner" around a blind turn. 😄
Yes Chef....
BEHIND. BEHIND....BEEHIINDDDE!
And shouting “behind!” when walking behind your mates
In the UK its "Backs"
That AA monologue in one of the last episodes is award worthy. Really incredible acting
That scene is seared into my brain now, it's a beautiful example of great acting
writing, directing, acting... all superb
Agreed, that scene was a huge highlight for me.
One of my favorite scenes of The Bear! He deserves an award for that one scene , terrific acting
AA? i need to watch again...I thought Alanon
My brother passed 3 years ago and he would have LOVED The Bear. I wanted to talk to him about this show the entire time I was watching it. It hit really close to home and I actually finished it on the anniversary of his passing. It was a great watch experience and I’ll revisit it more than once for sure.
This is everything. I hope it brought him closer to you, if at all possible. I am sure he was smiling down watching it with you!
Sorry about your brother was he a chef ? He is probably proud of you
He is watching it wear he is ⭐️
I’m so sorry for your loss, hope you’re doing ok x
Beautiful❤
I wish Anthony Bourdain was still alive for many reason but seeing this show and hearing him talk about it is now one of those reasons
You’re not the only one…Anthony’s reaction was the first thing I thought of when I saw the show. I think he would’ve liked it…
Anthony would've loved it 🥲
Hopefully Anthony would have been a producer
i obviously don't know him, but i think he would RAVE about it. Your comment made me sad, still miss the guy
Anthony would have been for sure a creative advisor for the production, no way they'd shoot a series on a kitchen without consulting with him
This show is 100% authentic. I was a chef and the show hits some of the PTSD that we all have. This is especially true of his flashbacks. The amount of fear of a head chef and the pschological abuse freaked me out.
The scene that stuck out to me the most was when he goes home, eats a pb&j and chips for dinner, and falls asleep on the couch watching techniques about food lmao
I dont cook a single fucking thing at home 😂
@@Subsistence69 I was the same! I would take home a bunch of carrots and practice my tournee while watching food network. I had beer though. Not all the shavings met my sheet pan at my feet and invited mice into my appartment. Oh the good ol days.
That was such a solid interview. No fluff, minimal pandering, a fun stunt with the sandwich, and JAW told quick, captivating, pertinent stories with interesting details.
JAW lmaooooooo
Jeremy makes every role shine. His talent and skill reaches beyond the screen.
I truly think he will be one of the greats. It awsome to see him work.
It’s a love letter to anyone who ever worked in a crazy kitchen.
PTSD inducing!
Well said!
BOH and FOH equally represented, and with precision and high integrity. Top shelf show.
One of the best new shows of this year. Every character had a great arc with lots of growth.
100%
Well maybe not Pete
except the pastry chef guy, he went from being a normal nice guy to completely absurd. Perfecting a donut recipe while the kitchen is in chaos? Who the hell would do that?
@@jujitsujew23 so he has some time management issues. Nobody's perfect. He still grew in leaps and bounds in the skills department.
@@kellypatterson4412 LMAO are you joking? Yea his skills got better and he got worse as a person. He's screwing around while the kitchen is in chaos, that's not 'time management'...its basic common sense, situational awareness and common decency! He went from being a fun and nice guy to being selfish and pompous. The only way to explain it is that the writers didn't want all the characters to have positive development so they made one character regress to a selfish jerk. If he had pulled that BS in restaurants I've worked in he'd have been FIRED as soon as he walked out. My head chef would've said, "if you leave now don't bother coming back". How anyone (like the OP) could say that character had "lots of growth" is beyond me. Clearly he's not watching the same show I am.
What I loved most about the show is how honest it felt and not overly sexualized. Like you have people who work together and have honest relationships with each other and focus on their craft and success
This. Absolutely.
My housemate is a sous chef, it's awesome to watch this show with him together and see his reactions to the show, it's 100% on point.
Ive been working in kitchens for 25 years. This show gave be the best anxiety attacks ive ever had.
100%. 17 years in kitchens. This show is PTSD incarnate
Right over 20 for me. It's exhilarating and terrifying at the same time.
Dude I was just a hostess so not at the level of commiseration as being in a kitchen but the glitch with the online orders gave me a VISCERAL response while I was watching it 😂
Well said. During the show in general I found myself oddly missing working in kitchens (I did 25 years too) I do sometimes miss the chaos and energy. But the meltdown scenes were intense to watch.
I'm on my 7th year, when I watched the first episode I wasn't sure I wanted to watch more because of how anxious it made me, But after not even a full day I just couldn't stop thinking about it So the next night I binged episodes two through seven, And I couldn't wait to watch episode 8 so I literally watched it at work while I was closing then again when I got home.
It's such a bizarre combination of hard to watch and incredibly cathartic
This actor completely captivated me me when I watched Shameless. It was so authentic feeling. When you can get lost in a movie or a series and forget your watching an actor, it's the best. I always feel moved after watching him. Selfishly, I hope he continues acting because what he does is special. Can't put my finger on it but this guy is a star.
Glad this dude is finally getting his moment! Such a solid performance throughout all of Shameless
i feel like The Bear is the best thing to happen to a Shameless fan (such as me) now that that show has wrapped. watching The Bear made me realize just how much i've been missing Shameless. kudos to Jeremy Allen White for fine work in another fantastic series.
@@suzannestack6765 I miss Shameless a lot. I miss Lip and Ian's brothers dynamic. I miss them all. People are missing out by not watching Shameless. One of my fave Jeremy scenes is when he almost dropped his baby from the bath. And when he kicked out Fiona after she tempted is sponsor.
Love that Seth allows his guests to actually tell a story and fully answer his questions, lots of hosts always cut off their guests and you can tell how rushed they feel. The energy is just very calm and feels like an actual conversational interview, instead of some increased energetic spinball of an interview
right? jeremy always gives such thoughtful answers, so it's great to actually be able to hear them in full
I love his humility and deference to the people he's portraying. He deserves all of the accolades and success. He's brilliant.
The Bear hit me like a sledgehammer. Insane writing and performances. That last shot 👌 ❤️😭
I binge watched the entire season in one night!
..... That last shot.... I started crying....
so glad seth didn’t interrupt him & let him finish his sentences. love jeremy’s passion when speaking about all of this.
Such a great young actor! This show is something special. He’s correct when saying that it touched us all in the service industry. The fact that he read Marco’s book, too good, too good.
I’ve been in this industry for 10 years and amazed at the accuracy of the show and it’s beautiful to see it on a show! Totally respresents the chaos
Always enjoy his acting, glad to see “Lip” getting the light shined on him.
His hair REALLY is the main character of the show
What a wonderfully fluid and inquisitive conversation. I've been eyeing the show on Hulu and will definitely give it a watch now. Kudos to Jeremy and Seth!
If you've worked in a restaurant, especially as a line cook in a small place like that, this show gives you Anxiety. I haven't worked in a kitchen in a few years, but my work nightmares started coming back after watching this show. Still, totally worth it. Great show, and incredibly accurate to both the restaurant industry AND Chicago.
EXACTLY. I’ve worked on the line for over 10 years and as much as I absolutely love this show.. My escalating blood pressure is not allowing me to binge it all at once. 😂 I have to do one episode at a time!
I haven't but I assure you it gave me massive anxiety, too 😅
Started watching this show after I read rave reviews about its seventh episode which is one of the best tv episodes I've ever seen. All 8 episodes are engrossing and incredibly well-acted and beautifully directed and written that at some point you realize wow this is art right here. Jeremy gives an astounding performance full of grit and pathos and passion and sadness and heart. Watch it ASAP.
Episode 7 is the best! Felt like one long server dream
Jeremy Allen is so adorable. I love the show. I dated a chef and it really does capture the chaos in the kitchen. He would come home sometimes and cry, but he loved the work despite the stress.
Every single character in THE BEAR is so good they could have their own spin-off series.
I totally agreed with other food service employees assessment that sometimes the show is just too real…It can sometimes bring back those tense feelings you had at work..It’s really a well acted and written show and definitely worth the watch👍🏼
Omg GREAT SHOW!!! Carmy is such a great character, you just root for him to come out on top. Jeremy played Carmy so well. Really, the entire cast was perfection and I love all of the characters! Im not one to binge tv shows (very poor attention span lol), but I stumbled upon The Bear a few weeks ago, decided to give the first episode a shot... stayed up till 3am, watched all 8! REALLY WANT MORE! Excited for season 2, lets get The Bear going!!
This show is hands down the best representation of kitchen culture. It’s freaking brilliant. Not to mention just the story being so good. So excited for season 2!
I need about 10 or 12 more episodes of The Bear. It was too short in my mind. I hope it wins everything. If not a number of cooks should riot.
It got approved for another season
It could be a consistent riot too, we cooks are good at shift change in the middle of chaos
Amazing show, I use to work as a line cook and this show absolutely nails what a hectic kitchen looks and feels like. Can't wait for season 2, must watch.
Thank you Seth for recognizing his hair in the show. It's part of the charm 😁
I love when actors get to/want to research their roles. It’s even better for them when their new skill can be applied in the real world. Now he’ll be a better cook. How cool!
Seth you are a great interviewer.... across the spectrum of topics you have a way to bring out the best....a great deal of work behind the scenes by you and your team
I just started working in a kitchen for the first time coming from a construction background. This show is so close to my work it’s insane. The only difference is we’re an upscale kind of restaurant but we all call each other chef and everyone who’s there wants to be there and it’s awesome. I’ve been there a month and I love the chef life.
It has only been done twice before. The first time was a film called Waiting, and the second time was the movie Chef. This is the first TV show (that I can think of). I will say Party Down is pretty damn accurate for catering from a service perspective tho.
Check out a movie called “Boiling Point” from last year starring Stephen Graham. Takes place in a restaurant, all one shot, it’s practically the movie version of this show, I loved it.
@@DaveLam ty so much for this recommendation. I've been waiting for a new cooking movie and this one seems perfect after watching The Bear.
Give the movie Burnt a shot too. Bradley Cooper disappears into his role
My daughter got a culinary degree to be a chef, but she found out that being a chef or working in a restaurant kitchen was incredibly hard! No life outside of the restaurant, a lot of chefs are just a**holes and alcoholics. So she switched to HR and is much happier!
The hours suck. Doesn't leave much time for a life.
Yeah, anyone who complains about drug addicts in the service industry and eats out in any way whatsoever has no idea of the sheer irony of their actions. BOH gets worked like dogs just as hard as the Grateful Dead road crew and do just about as much drugs, too.
@@kellypatterson4412 one needs to invent it.
Hmmm.
so your daughter got a job exploiting workers
JEREMY ALLEN WHITE was Magnetic as 'lip in SHAMELESS and now he adds Charasmatic as Carmy in THE BEAR; so so pleased it has connected beyond its niche audience. x!
I worked in a restaurant for 4 years and they got it absolutely right how working back of house is. The intensity, chaos and they stress that makes you like and gives you nightmares they got so right.
One thing I noticed watching this show, there are so many close ups. It really adds to the intensity and anxiety of the kitchen.
Best first season of a new show I’ve ever seen.
Such a great show. The stress and chaos of the kitchen scenes legit caused me PTSD from my high school and college jobs.
As a former dishwasher who worked in many kitchens throughout the southwest, i can confirm ALL kitchens are true to their representations in The Bear.
I worked in restaurants for 25 years , and 13 years later I still have occasional night mares that I have fallen behind on my tables . I am completely in the weeds , an can't catch up . That sense of panic came back when I watched the first episode of bear . I thought if every episode is going to be like this I won't make it (lol) . However I am a big Jeremy Allen White fan , so I came back for more. Weather the pace slowed down ,or I stopped holding my breath , I quickly fell in love with the show
There's a part in the show where Jeremy is checking the temp of chicken. The skewer his uses has to be held to his face. As a chef the nerve endings fingers don't pick up heat anymore. So you have to find some other part of your body to check the temperature. A nod too all them chefs that sacifice a part of themself and i just loved that detail in the show.
Him saying, “No.” when asked if he thought he might be good at this, shows that he put in a lil work and knows what’s up. Talented actor. Amazing show.
Shouts to Matty, too. Judge is so sick lol
As a chef, it Is chaotic. I'm fortunate enough to have met my wife within the industry so she understands the lifestyle and what comes with it. Kinda cool that the food service industry is getting a small nod...feels good. Love the show, can't wait for more seasons!!
I love how he mentioned Marco Pierre White because that's who he reminded me off with his look
The Bear reminded me of working in kitchens the same way going to fashion school reminded me of Project Runway - WAY more in the nose than anyone anticipated.
watching this in chicago...i got a bit of a chuckle...we do that with stuff with food..."cheers"
Signing up for Hulu cause of this. Been wanting a show like this forever. Working class shows, not those bulls#$% house wives shows.
You’ll like it. Hits the nail on the head for those of us in boh
arguably housewife shows are working class in that the audience for them is made up of working class women
I've worked in kitchens and yeah this show really hits the culture
I LOVE this show. Had never seen the actor before but he is amazing. The whole cast is great. I think he should star in a Barry Manilow biopic!
If you loved him in this you should watch Shameless. One of the best series you will ever see! He grows up on that show and his character is awesome
He reminds me of Gene Wilder, but now that I see your comment, I could see him playing either of them.
From all of my experience in the restaurant industry the thing that the bear really nails is the full spectrum of social dynamics that you experience in these environments. It captures that perfect balance of passion, warmth, pressure, hostility, aggression, cruel humor, love etc.
I've been a line cook/chef for around 8 years now and this show is so spot on it's scary. It captures the feeling of the lunch rush so perfectly that I had to pause it in certain spots because I had to remind myself I wasn't at work. Also it's cool to see Matty Matheson playing a character on the show.
I loved him in Shameless. He was the best, next to Emily.
Agreed. Jeremy & Emmy were always 100% believable and heartbreaking
@@ambriaashley3383 They had eachother's back always. Amazing performances, but you can tell they also supported each other as people in that long crazy trip of an acting job.
Fiona's storylines and revolving door of boyfriends got old though. Loved Lip but he was frustrating to watch him keep coming back to Karen. Ian and Mickey had my heart from the get-go and never let go.
He could absolutely play young Marco pierre white
I binged the series in one night. It was so amazing. I cried, I laughed , I stressed, but most of all I could RELATE and that's what made it THE BEST!!!
Jeremy Allen White deserves so much recognition after his breakout role in The Bear. I’ve been a big fan of his role as Lip Gallagher in Shameless. He’s in the top 10 actors of 2022.
I love JAW he was incredible in Shameless, definitely underrated and Im so glad he's getting recognition for this amazing show
Jaw? 🤦♀️ His character was named Lip! Not Jaw!
@@letthedogsout1 his name is Jeremy Allen White = JAW i wasn’t talking about Lip at all but the actor
Another really nice interview Seth.
A phenomenal representation of a kitchen.
I’m just loving this show and all of the representation for Chefs and Cooks. The stress of a kitchen is real but you really do create a sense of family with your team. I love all of this and seeing Jeremy Shine!
A fantastic show. The story is told beautifully, you can feel it. Can't wait for season three.
I love how he keeps telling people to check out the restaurants he's worked at/goes to lol
I read a comment on TH-cam that some guy who had worked in the restaurant industry, couldn't watch more than one episode because it gave them so much anxiety... Because it's so realistic .. it's an amazing show by the way
This show is truly beautiful, it gives me crazy flashbacks, but oh man is it therapeutic.
This show is phenomenal!!! If you've ever worked in a restaurant you know that this show nailed it.
A lot of people praise the accuracy with which the restaurant environment was portrayed but I have no experience there so I want to praise the dialogue. It felt alive and real and electric, and each character clearly had their own voice. I think it also portrayed how different people deal with grief in their own ways in a lovely, matter-of-fact way without making it too melodramatic. Every aspect of the show seems really well thought out and that one episode that's almost completely dine in a single take is one of the most exciting things to happen on a show in a while for me.
I will always watch anything Jeremy is in
Honestly love this show and I’m so ready for season 2, and yes this does remind me of when I was working at a restaurant , for sure gave me a little anxiety 😅 but I’m so happy that this is being represented, and I know that it’s a long shot but I really hope that people have more respect for the people in the food industry because they work HARD!
He’s not getting enough recognition for this. He’s incredible and this show is incredible.
The Bear was soo good. Anxiety inducing…but in a good way. Glad to see Mr. White’s talent is not being wasted. Look forward to season 2!!!!
what a phenomenal actor, just brilliant
This series is soooo good!! Jeremy Allen White is an incredible actor. Glad to see him in quality series now that Shameless is over.
The kids a natural. Really thoughtful and intelligent answers
I'm a Line cook and I had to show this show to every friend in the industry and everyone agreed on how accurate and relatable it is. Episode 7 has my anxiety all the way up. Shoutout to every BoH watching this show!!!
Such a beautiful show about grief & found family
God I love Jeremy. He’s an amazing dramatic actor and I’m enjoying The Bear.
The two of them look like Seth talking to his youngest half-brother
Jeremy is a brilliant and ridiculously gorgeous actor and am so happy for his success and may he continue to share his talent with the world
Definitely a great show! I watched expecting nothing and got locked in! Great writing and acting
He was so good in The Bear. As a former restaurant worker, I think the whole cast nailed it!
the bear is without a doubt the best series i have ever witnessed. everyone is spot on.
Love the Bear! Great show! I need another season.
This show is completely underrated and whizzed by me unnoticed. Impact-wise, its by no means at the level of Succession, House of the Dragon or Last of Us, but its wonderfully written, shot and crafted. Jeremy Allen White and the cast was incredible and the cinematography is so immersive I gasped for air after each episode.
Jeremy, if you so happen to read this, you absolutely connected with the back of the house in a way that is real. Love a career chef
I was so taken completely by surprise by this show. I only initially watched it because I thought, "hey, Jeremy Allen White is cute and I'm bored, so why not?" I was totally blown away by the performances. I've never worked in a kitchen (and definitely don't want to now after watching this show lol), but it felt incredibly real to me. I had so much anxiety (especially in episode 7) and the tension was so palpable. Every character had a great arc and development. And Carmy's monologue in the last episode, seriously Emmy worthy. I went thru all 8 episodes in one day. Also, really awesome cameos that I didn't expect! I'm so happy it's been renewed for a second season. Hopefully we'll get more episodes out of it. :)
Can't wait for The Bear to open!
What a wholesome and down to earth guy...
Jeremy is such a great actor and seems like an even greater human being. Hard to believe shameless was his first acting role, seems like he's been doing it his whole life
Great show. Makes me realize that I have no business in the kitchen. I would experience all the anxiety, doom and gloom. While I’m sure all chefs had the anxiety, their passion probably counters that. As much as I love food, I only love the eating part from a passion perspective 😂
I’m a cook/chef and let me tell you how stressful it is. I retired from being a paramedic after 23 years and it’s not easier. The circumstances are just different.
as a chef , this show is outstanding because of the accuracy
Great show and he's perfect for the role.
Loved him in shamless, awesome to see him finally getting recognition as a main character!
