Just for anyone who’s like is Jonathan as nice as he seems? The answer is no, he’s so much nicer. He came to my production of Spring Awakening directed by a friend of his and talked to me at a bar for several hours, just incredible generous.
He really is. I met him for the first time in the streets of nyc… what are the odds of that? He was so sweet and greeted me like an old friend (he kind of is, our families knew each other and I’d communicate with him before). But yes he really is so generous and loving!!
I love seeing guests thanking Seth for the pandemic shows. I'll never get to thank him in person for that time and everything else since, so I love to see others do it 💙🐾
I also am a grateful jackal, who shares the same sentiment... Especially Seth's "a closer look" segments... political satire is not for everyone,. Thanks Seth
Jonathon Groff grew up where I live and where I’ve raised my kids. Before each home basketball game we are treated to his rendition of the Star Spangled Banner. He recorded it for our high school/his Alma Mater. Every time we play an away game I always feel a little smug. Go CV! ❤️💙
@Riley Rayburn really? she was my PE teacher too when I was at CV! I live in PA! And she’s also friends with my grandma, so the three of us would go on bike rides together 🤍 their family is so close to mine they feel like a second family to me
“You better tell Zac Efron that he’s gotta get off, cause he’s never gonna look like Jonathan Groff” 🥲❤️ Love them both SO much 🥰 and the first part - 100%. Couldn’t have survived the last three years without Seth. 😌
Groff and everyone in Knock at the Cabin did such deeply profound and movingly emotional work in M Night's best movie ever. I can not recommend the film enough. It is possibly the most emotional "horror" movie ever.
I can’t wait till he comes home, I can’t wait to see their family again. His mom was my PE teacher for a few years and is best friends with my grandma and we would hang out and go biking together. Jonathan is like an older brother to me, his family is like my second 🤍 I miss them so much and I’m so thankful and proud I have grown up alongside him and have seen these huge milestones of his. If anyone is gonna help me get out of PA and be on Broadway it’s gonna be him and his family because they have done it. Jonathan thank you I’m so proud of you!! Always!! I miss you guys!! 🫶🏻🥹
I don't watch a lot of movies these days, because I hate comic-based material which is just about all that gets made anymore, and M. Night had started to wear on me, but I may have to see the new film because of this interview. It reminded me of how absolutely lovely it is to watch or listen to Mr. Groff. I adore that man.
I love all the actors in Frozen but, for the life of me, I couldn't make it past 45 minutes. I can't hardly believe he was in Mindhunter. That is one of my favorites and it needs morel seasons. This guy can play everything.
He's adorbz. He had just left Hamilton when I was lucky to grab a seat, but saw him at a concert in SF where he was filming the special Looking wrap-up. Then saw him twice in Little Shop; it was that good! Now looking forward to Merrily We Roll Along -- weird how a flop can come back to life and be a success (or hopefully will be).
ok now I want to know more about his upbringing it seems like there is a lot of story there. I loved when he said he didn't even know if there was a football game that was so cute
Right off the bat I know I am going to love this movie, because: 1, Jonathan is in it 2, it's an M. Night. movie 3 It looks like it's going to be a really good movie.
Love him, LOVE Matrix series including my favorite which is Resurrections which he's in, and LOOOVE Mindhunter it's torture wlonging for another season
Dear Seth, Merrily was the first new collaboration between Sondheim and the legendary director Hal Prince since their triumph, Sweeney Todd, in 1979. However. It followed a decade in which they'd been the composer/lyricist and director behind 5 of the most daring musicals ever made, which won a combined 30% of the Best Musical Tonys and 45% of the Tonys for Best Score (in one year, the Score category was separated into Best Music and Best Lyrics, both of which were awarded to Sondheim). This is in addition to Prince's many successes outside of his Sondheim partnership (the Candide revival; On the 20th Century; Evita; and others). Resentment was growing. In addition, some questionable choices were made in the design and casting of the show, along with the fateful decision to skip out-of-town tryouts and conduct previews in New York. As a result, the theatre community was mostly out for blood. The schadenfreude is palpable in the 1981 reviews (apart from Frank Rich, who's clearly anguished by the failure). So no. I wouldn't say there's always been a market for the original Merrily. Instead, the show was revised and revamped a few years later in a La Jolla Playhouse production that resulted in the version that's been licensed ever since. And *that* version has been breaking people's hearts for nearly four decades.
Correction! This has already made a corrections appearance! ...And you're wrong lol Anything can chomp.Its a phrase.If I asked a horse to chomp,or champ,I'm sure it literally wouldn't know the difference.
Yes, at 10:18 Seth's question is rude to his guest, beyond being ignorant, because it's entrapment to encourage your guest to agree to something stupid like "chomping at the bit", which doesn't exist! Ask a horse if it exists and they'll ignore you. Horses are smart that way.
CORRECTION: at 7:16 Jonathan gets around to correcting Seth by referring to M. Night Shyamalan simply as "Night." Whereas Seth repeatedly calls him "M. Night." When someone initializes their first name, it's a sign that they don't go by it, and certainly, not be called by the initial. Friends and co-workers with John F. Kennedy wouldn't regularly address him by saying, "Hi, John F." In that case, the "F" is not used with the first name, but only formally in the third person. And so, Mr. Shyamalan's co-workers don't call him "Emnight," but just "Night." It's the name he goes by.
Love Jonathan Groff. The movie based on the book 'The Cabin at the End of the World' was absolutely butchered and made for some particular audience who wants a conclusive ending without using brains.
Yeah, Jonathan, it sucks when you wait for someone's autograph after a show and don't get it. Like you did to us on Friday night! 🤬🤣 It's OK though, it gave me an excuse to get tix to see it again. LOL (Plus I met Daniel Radcliffe, which was awesome.)
The expressions is literally whatever someone expresses it to be lol Horses chomp stuff.Its just as accurate.Ask a horse if it champs or chomps. I will wait for its response.
@@jeffdroog It is what is known as a "common misconception." The fact that it is common does not mean that it is not a misconception. That's the whole point. Also, are you at all familiar with the Corrections segment of Late Night? (Don't answer, that's a rhetorical question.)
@J B Well,considering the words champing,and chomping,mean the exact same thing,I'd say you're absolutely,100%,incorrect lol Just because you want something to be right,doesn't mean that it has to be.If I said,"he was going crazy like a rabid wolf in a glass store" you'd gain the same information as "he was going crazy like a bull in a China shop" ...Making both things correct lol It may not necessarily be the most common turn of phrase,but its similar meaning,and being understood the same by the audience,makes it functionally the same.Language is used to convey a particular message.If your particular message is accurately converyed to your intended audience,your use of the language is correct.
If you're being technical,then technically,it's chomping,because that's what anything does when it's chomping.You can say champing if you'd prefer,but it doesn't make it any more correct,as chomping is just as accurate.Technically.
@Trevin Taylor "Champing or Chomping at the Bit? The quick answer to whether champ or chomp is correct is that both are acceptable for modern use - meaning you can use either! To champ or chomp at the bit is to be restless or unable to show restraint." First result on goodle.Eat chocolate ice cream.

I love reading comments like this ❤
@@amberli5769 Where can I meet Jonathan groff?
Omg I'm so jealous! I wish I could be irl ! But yea will never happen 😔
He really is. I met him for the first time in the streets of nyc… what are the odds of that? He was so sweet and greeted me like an old friend (he kind of is, our families knew each other and I’d communicate with him before). But yes he really is so generous and loving!!
Bruh I stopped at “no” and my heart dropped and then I kept on reading 🤣💕
I so love this man’s vocal tone, speech pattern, and laugh. Melts my heart every time.
Same with me!
His voice is ASMR for me. So relaxing!
Same, his voice is so calming and sweet. Love him so much 🥺❤️
I wanna have a blanket made from that voice and snuggle up in it everyday.
10:18 I thought it was “chomping on the bit” too but as several Jackals *and* the CC say, I guess it’s “champing on the bit.”
Groff is one of very few actors I'd have to fight the urge to hug IRL. He's such a gentle, kind soul.
I got to hug him once, like 15 years ago. (I stage doored Spring Awakening.) It was awesome. He's such a sweetheart.
@@ace-of-bats, I got to give him a hug after a Little Shop of Horrors performance, he’s a sweetie! ❤

Me too! Thx to both Seth & Jonathon!! ❤
I'll forever LOVE him for his Hamilton performance.
I could hear him speak all day. His voice is like a warm hug.
Seth actually looking proud of the audience when they cheered! Very sweet
The picture of Ben, Kristen, and Jonathan at “Wicked” melted my heart. So joyful! 😊
Mindhunter should be completed. I do not understand why someone hasn't put up the money to get this finished.
Supposedly, David Fincher lost his enthusiasm for the project, and that complicated things in addition to the money issues.
The best series I've ever seen in its genre.
SO TRUE
Yes I want to see Holden happy for once.

Awww J Groff now i know why my sister is obsessed w you!! Such a great guy ☺️
I love love loved his King George. He seems like such a nice person. He is an absolutely wonderful actor and singer. Wait, great performer. ❤

His first comment, is so legit. Seth, you got me through &so many others, thanks xo

what a nice interview!!
He's a good actor. Knock at the Cabin was a decent movie. That twist was interesting.
What a great interview.
He’s from PA. Night should mean more to him plus he looks like someone from The Village 😆
I love this man so much! Not a fan of horror films but I'd watch Knock at the Cabin for him
It's more a psychological thriller. So you'll be fine.
I’m not a fan of horror, but I’ll watch JG!

I hope there were some serious discussions behind the scenes about casting in Cicada Cicada… 😉🤞🏼
