    Jeffrey Wright is the best actor out of all of his contemporaries, and one of the best of all times.

    I've had a crush on Jeffrey Wright for years-he's so handsome, he's got a great sense of style, a wonderful voice, and he's hella talented. ❤

      @@rudijohnson529 Pfffttt just stop 😂 Some things transcend. Jeffrey Wright's voice is gorgeous. Idris Elba is hot. Donald Trump is orange. Biden is old. Cats have more legs than snakes. You're gonna get all rigid over a SOUND?
      I mean, that sounds like a You issue, is all...

    Mr Jeffrey Wright is s such a versitile performer, actor. He delivers high-quality acting in all roles he plays that adds the spice to all of his movies and those he partakes in. Phenomenal talent and sich a powerhouse in the industry. He deserves a star 🌟 on the hall of fame. Please let it be so quickly 🎉🎉🎉

    I WISH I still had cable so that I could playlist ALL the Jeffrey Wright works! Such a brilliant, talented & underspoken character actor for all seasons. Yet his profile has never been elevated to the level it otherwise would’ve been expected to have been since Basquiat. He was appropriately slimy in Boardwalk Empire, genius in Shaft, sooooo lovable in Cadillac Records, and sooooo heartbreaking in Manchurian Candidate.
    I’m certain that his privacy is of paramount importance to his work. I’m sure he’s not about to embroil himself into “politics” that aren’t even political realistically, & are just team sports at current levels of deprivation & in the absence of acumen by anybody under 50, & by the shocking number over that age who can’t manage to demonstrate either ability nor astute sets of skills & qualifications themselves, with some rare exceptions.
    But I do wish Mr. Jeffrey Wright WOULD narrate another public service PBS series-a real one this time-about voting, legislating, campaigning & the way a democratic republic operates when its citizens aren’t confused, confounded & being played like fiddles so some outmoded, outdated “parties” can say they “won” something, when both of them should’ve moved away a long, long time ago!! Perhaps he’d have to FIND a venue where “parties” are fine to have, but where the people understand that a “party” is not a political entity, nor a political process, by definition.
    No candidates for office may have that level of erudition & political savvy anymore, if they ever did. But Jeffrey Wright actually does! And if not, his range of skill could convince any audience that he understands the words coming out of his mouth. Best Wishes to him & to his family!
    I ALWAYS appreciate his efforts 5-7 times more to make up (in my own small world) for the general ignorance that leaves him askance when he should Correctly be center stage much more!! ❄️🕯❄️🕯⚖️🕯❄️💐🪷💐🕯❄️🕯❄️🕯

    To this day I think Jeffrey Wright's role in Basquiat was his best ever. I fell in love with him in that film about street artist Jean Michel Basquiat. And Benicio del Toro was brilliant as his druggie friend. David Bowie played Andy Warhol and there were so many other fabulous actors in it - a must see film.

  • @dollarsaurus01

    Funny - I noticed his son in the background of the skit in the monologue and thought, "Who's that handsome devil?" I'm guessing that, since both his kids are sitting in the front row here, that he was intentionally placed in that skit for some exposure.

    He's not the most emotive guy, but hes so nice, not super, but just a bit cool because he's nit trying to be loved by everyone, clearly not the celeb looking for fans. Love that he offered the hand at the end, I'm sure many do & we don't see it on shows, but seldom see a handshake at the end
