What a flippin' FLAWLESS interview by Jim Parsons. I'm fascinated by certain celebrities' ability to speak on polarizing topics in a way that is strong and honest, without condemning the other side or specific people. In this interview, he didn't shy away from any topic, he spoke honestly and openly, addressed everything, but did it in a way that wasn't judgmental or cruel to anyone else. I respect him even more because I didn't get the feel that he was pandering or being careful. It's just the natural skill of being a good gd person.
Retrospectors Agreed! 100%. And this is not someone who is “coached” on how to speak, but TRUE human decency & kindness. It comes from his soul & it shows. He’s an eloquent speaker & all around “nice guy”. Refreshing to see, especially now. Bravo Jim!
i guess Im asking the wrong place but does someone know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid forgot my account password. I appreciate any tips you can give me.
You are so rude. YES, I'm sure. Jim is always polite and he's also extremely talented. I prefer to judge people based on their character, not the person they love.
These people are just actors... Why does their opinion matter at all anyway??? How is it that in our Society that actors who are merely and only portraying payroll suddenly in this country have so much say so why are there voices so important now anyway actors get paid more than any other profession it's ridiculous they're not even real people
It's kind of strange to keep asking him about Rosanne Barr. He did well on the answers but it's not anything to do with him so you're just putting him on the spot.
Double Guitars exactly. How about interview the man about...I dont know..ummm.him! Woul love to have heard a few things about how he is doing and about his life. But we must stir the shit. How else will it be relevant?
If he were such a beautiful person, he would completely and unequivocally repudiate and reject the neo nazi, nationalistic, fascist message of this administration, and ANYTHING that condones it... especially a television show that "normalizes" trump supporters.
June 3, 2018 Jim Parsons....Seems to have a head on his shoulders...Agree or disagree with his views is another issue ... But, He is articulate and well spoken, and not willing ( it appears ) to offer a position or stand on which he has no formed opinion. I like those that know enough to know that they don't know enough !!
Rayne S.G. He is ignorant.so much hate let him live in his own world of hate.how does being gay affect someone to a point of writing that?Americans have so much hate and judgement on one another smh
One of the primary reasons for Trump's being elected, is that people have had enough of living in terror that something they say or do, that is acceptable today, will destroy their life, 20 years from now. So no, 'dont say stupid shit', isnt an answer.
no, when people say things they don't think they are being stupid. When you are racist, misogynistic, xenophobe, or just an asshole you don't think there is anything wrong with what you are saying. Your "logic" is really not solving anything XD
Spring Bloom. Nailed it. We all make mistakes, but for something to haunt you for the rest of your life, especially if you paid the piper for it when it took place is just ridiculous, and yes that is one of the reasons I also voted for Trump.
Jim Parsons has the tri-fecta. He's handsome, intelligent and an intuitive communicator. He is Jim first and not an identity or group. His experience with marriage if you didn't see the picture could have described any marriage. That is what it's all about. Love, not biology. I have enjoyed every interview or commentary he has done publically. I first heard him talking about sports and it was great. Thank you Jim for all your creative endeavors. I thought Van did a good job in this piece until he went to far thanking and apparently somewhat embarrassing his guest with Hero speak at the end. When you run into a person with a reasonable perspective and values they may seem like a hero but it's only because you gave them an uninterrupted platform where you actually listened without triggering and you began with respect to the person speaking. You were polite and it went well. Jim Parsons is an entertainer, not a hero in the classic sense, he is great but would be just as great if he was a electrician who was your neighbor. There is a reason a majority liked this interview. It was a graphic on qualities lost on division and partisanship. There is a space were we can all live together, JP and people like him are there waiting for more to join him.
There will always be a "turbo turd". They are the flashers who open their trench coat to expose their wares (in this case with a need to share stupidity) hoping for outraged responses to this arrested developed act. It is just dangling bits and no brain. They can't help it-it is in their nature.
James Jenia nope. Nothing especially wrong with what Wolfe said or Sam bee. And before you start insulting me, I'm not American; I'm not a liberal and I give zero shites about your politics other than watching it as entertainment
I think the notable thing here is....you have the right to say what you want...Rosanne Barr isn't in jail for saying what she said. Shoot...the red head one isn't in jail for holding up a bloody head of Trump....so they aren't being policed. However, when you speak or write things out loud...then you risk attack, or ramifications. Rosanne has the right to say what she wishes....ABC has the right to not want to be attached to such sentiments. Agree or disagree....we still have the right...AND that is pretty awesome
Samantha Bee and Michelle Wolf went after politics. Sure they go ugly, but they're ugly about politics not about race. Hypocrisy is smiling when Nugent called Hillary Clinton a c**t, but being offended when Bee called Ivanka Trump the same thing.
Andy Jones blacks are very sensitive to anything racist. Especially in this day and age when you can actually voice that you are being discriminated against and get sympathy for it. Talking about racism is still a fairly new thing. Now that more people are aware of it and others feel safe to say something without too much condemnation, then they'll do it. It's basically another me too movement. And a lot of blacks or dark skinned people still face hate due to their skin tone or lifestyle. It's way deeper than just being butt hurt over racist jokes. And that's how a lot of black people take it.
Jim Parsons (not Sheldon) is a dead ringer for Mr. Rogers. I mean that in the best way. Not just his looks, but his mannerisms, speech, etc. I heard Tom Hanks is going to play Mr. Rogers, but with respect to Mr. Hanks, that's a mistake.
Right after Sheldon says you have to be careful what you say in interviews, the interview proceeds to barrage him with political landmines about Roseanne. He dodged that trap like a politician.
Sassy Monkey For your information, "Sheldon" was not in this interview. If you actually believe hew was, the I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. Welcome to reality.
Jim Parsons is one classy guy and he's an incredible dramatic actor. I saw him on Broadway in a couple of plays (NOT comedies) and he was brilliant. And his performance in "Hidden Figures" was certainly worthy of an Oscar nomination for best supporting actor. Moreover, he's got the meatiest role in the revival of ?Boys in the Band" on Broadway and he just about steals the whole show. Of course, he has the biggest role in the whole play. His final breakdown scene is pure electricity.
I got to see him at the beginning of May in Boys in the Band before he broke his foot and got his autograph. Was just phenomenal as Michael . Laughed and cried throughout Sweet guy
What a Joke. So it's okay to make fun of Indians and Jews on The Big Bang Theory. That's okay. You just have to be selective with your racism in order for it to be passable per CNN.
Fred Howell oh my god. The person who plays Howard is Jewish, the person who plays Rosh (sorry don’t know how to spell his name) is actually an Indian. It’s self deprecating humor and that’s what makes it funny. If it were a non Jew or a white person than the jokes wouldn’t be funny. Can’t you understand that??
paul sticks Since when did being gay make a person a pedophile? If youre going to say you were joking (because you wrote, "lol") let me stop you & give you a piece of advice... jokes are supposed to be funny! What you wrote was just lazy, unoriginal & weak.
paul sticks Actually I know more than I care to sit & count. I bartended in one of the most popular punk clubs in Chicago for years and met and became friends with people repping every letter that LGBTQ stands for. The closest & nicest person I am friends with from there is a gay man who is also a crossdresser. And you know what? I would trust him with my sons life. Its really sad that you judge people you dont know by their sexuality.
paul sticks Furthermore, it has been scientifically proven that gay men are not more interested sexually in children than straight men. Google it or read this article & educate yourself before you spread more hateful & homophobic bullshit. ✌ sexresearchhoneypot.blogspot.com/2011/02/do-gay-men-have-more-sexual-interest-in.html?m=1
Unfortunately there's a disease called leftism which a lot of stupid and/or ignorant people unfortunately suffer from which prevents this from happening.
Wow. Every time I hear Jim Parsons speak, I like him more. I agree with everything he says here, and he just seems like such a warm well meaning true person. Great job.
and everyone loses their job? i hope the cast sues the shit out of abc.. this blanket punishment of this show will cost them millions.. they need to be boycotted .. and broke.. stupid fucks
Rose Smith Right. I think ABC had been struggling with her and the show for a while. The only time she or the show was in the news was for some controversy, and the kind that boosts ratings. Even though I get the outrage, the fact that it was canceled so fast makes me think they were already ready to push her out the door.
Rose Smith what about joy Reid?? I assume you think that’s ok. She’s a serial twitter troll and actually said somebody broke into her account and had the fbi investigate. I’m assuming that was ok??? She still has her job and nbc is backing her. You liberal hypocrites
TDOT 4LIFE, first of all I don't know who Joy Reid is, so don't give a shit what she tweeted. I stay OFF Twitter due to too many people sharing idiotic opinions. P.S. NOT a liberal, thank you very much 😑
Laurie owes everything to Roseanne. She was a 33-year old nothing failure before being cast as Jackie. Until that point her biggest claim to fame was her 45 seconds in Desperately Seeking Susan, right? LOL
What I don't understand is that cancelling an entire show is not just punishing that one 'culprit' but the entire set and miscellaneous (young struggling) actors. So cancelling an entire show is such a knee-jerk. Punish the individual with social work or a fine, but let the work continue. There are jobs lost!
It was bad for business to keep it. Advertisers would have pulled out because of the backlash they would have felt if they continued to sponsor her show. And no sponsor means no revenue.
So, the US people cannot take anything, any saying from a comedian , but if that's what the US president said, and you're all fine with it? I mean, people talking the comedic act more seriously from a comedian than a US official !
Easy explanation. Roseanne was easy to bully. Trump can't be bullied. ABC is part of the fascist liberal agenda, so they shut her down. And in doing so stupidly slaughtered their biggest cash cow is ages. But that's OK. I'm sure George Soros can write them a big check to cover the hassle.
John Campbell ... Again, you have inserted unrelated comments in a thread that didn't include you to begin with. I would suggest rethinking, but that would require thinking previously.
I have a gay cousin from Georgia. Our family comes from an extremely religious, Bible beating background. But his sexuality, though we may not understand it, NEVER comes between him and any of us. It's about family. His sexuality changes nothing about how much we love and adore him. He is just a wonderful human being.
Brian Williams except it's always an issue where right wingers are concerned. The sooner we let people have relationships with whoever they like (man, woman, trans) and not ridicule them for being sinners and abominations the better off we will be. Same with racial and nationality concerns. We are all people capable of being good or bad. Some of us choose to not see that and go with the people that push the stereotypes.
David Vaughn When are people going to realize that you cannot lump everyone together on any characteristic? "Right wingers" are this that and the other. News flash! Not all feel that way. Plenty of God fearing people love everyone else unconditionally. So deal with it.
When it is all said and done, what Roseanne did just did not make sense. Why would she do that?!? I understand why her show was canceled, but what she did just made no sense.
It really does show that Trump can get away with anything when the "real people" he claims to represent obviously cannot. Roseanne had a lucrative job, no doubt. But if she can't get away with a minor thing compared to the things he "tweets," it just proves he can say whatever he wants with no consequences. So good for her. A Trump voter showing that what he's doing is obviously not okay with American standards.
Jim is incredibly well-spoken, and Van had some very respectful questions going. If more liberal shows and guests did interviews like these instead of abusive verbal barrages, they may attract more viewers and people in general. Take notes, Samantha Bee.
Christian Baxter Oh get out of here. Conservatives have been trashing liberals ever since the 60's, and I see way more UA-cam comments of conservatives bashing liberals than vice versa. We're gonna fight fire with fire and trash those brainwashed bible thumping, 1950's political sheep.
I remember the days when no one had such a platform like social media. The only time we hard celebrities, comedians or some kind of entertainers was on tv, DVD or radio. Interviews in the magazines or some kind of print. It was great. I didn't care about anything else but for them to entertain. I didn't care about their politics, religion or ideologies. Good times.
I was surprised that he was actually very well considered during this interview, was expecting more phoney outrage but he rebuffed that. I don’t agree that Roseanne’s show was cancelled over a single tweet per se, it was cancelled by a preposterous overreaction to a joke that has been made about a woman thought to be white and that is no different to all the Orangutan jokes made about President Trump.
Rex Nemovi 1. Wrong, but nice try. Someone can look African American and not look like every other African American. Unless you think “they all look the same” 🤔 2. Again, it does NOT matter what POA was about. She called a black woman an ape.
M H 1. Nobody but you talked about any group of people all looking the same. The issue is whether Jarrett does or doesn't exhibit obviously identifiable features of her partial African descent. If Jarrett exhibits them, they must exist, if they don't exist, she cannot exhibit them. If that's too difficult a concept for you to grasp, just don't worry about it. 2. Your repeating this lie (of course, I have no way of knowing whether you actually haven't read Roseanne's tweet and are merely parroting what you've heard, or you actually read it but are not literate enough to understand it) won't make it true. That of course won't save Roseanne from being subjected to 21st century equivalent of being burned on stake or lynched by the ignorant mob. A bit ironic when it's people like you who is calling the others bigoted.
Rex Nemovi 1. You are the one who said Jarrett doesn’t display African features. Thus, you are the one who believes that African American people must look a certain way. 2. Again, it does not matter what the plot was. She called a black woman an ape
M H 1. You are the one who said that it "is a complete lie that Jarrett doesn’t look African American". So it's YOU who says that there exists such a thing as "looking African American" and that Jarrett exhibits that. Again, either you were wrong saying such a look exists, or you are wrong saying that Jarrett exhibits it. And you are the one who tries to bring into the debate any kind of groups. 2. We've cleared that out. I accept that either it is beyond your intellectual horizon to grasp what Roseanne's tweet was about, or you know and understand that you're lying but you're determined to stick with that. It' is not my life's ambition to succeed in educating you or to make you stop lying, so I am ok with that.
Rex Nemovi 1. Again, you are the one who believes aa must look a particular way or they’re not aa. And funny, you’ve tried to be insulting throughout your flimsy arguments. First sign you’ve lost.
I'm 63.. I'm approaching my endgame time... In this Nations diverse poppulaton.. It gives me extreme comfort to know that there are still hopefull, men and women, who will carry on the primary principles of this Great Nation.. Regardless of the times.. Thank you Mr. Parsons..
cluelessflower Being 80 doesn’t mean it’s the end either. My Mother in law is 85 & has a more active life than most 30-40 year olds I know! lol She bowls twice a week in a league, (with an average of 180!) goes to get her hair done every week, plays bingo 3 times a week, & she’s ALWAYS on the go. She still drives, (better than most..lol) And travels at least once a year. Last year she went to Rome for 2 weeks, & has traveled across the country at least twice a year for the last 4-5 years, to visit relatives. She was forced to leave her job (yes, job!) in a NURSING HOME, as a Nurse’s Aide, at age 80 because the Home’s insurance policy would not cover her anymore. She still wanted to work, & they wanted to keep her. It’s crazy! This woman is seriously active, & has more stamina than anyone I know. I swear, she will live into the triple digits. I guess the key to living a long life is to keep active, both body & mind. (Oh yeah, she LOVES crossword puzzles too! lol)
Don H Please read my response to cluelessflower.... You are NOT approaching your endgame. As I told them, my Mother in Law is 85 & has a very full & active life. She was forced to quit her job at age 80, (in a nursing home!) because the home’s insurance would no longer cover her. She AND the Nursing Home wanted her to stay on. Read my other response. Life is what you make it. (& I am a VERY sick person, so I know) The key to a long life is staying active, both physically & mentally. I guarantee my Mom in law will live to be in her 100’s, & active & happy till the end.
My wife and I used to watch "BBT" but stopped because Jim Parsons' co-stars made so many hateful & filthy comments before & after the election. It's a pity because Parsons sounds like a genuinely nice level-headed guy.
I still watch the big bang theory. I didn't like some of the performers comments,but I love the show. I just don't watch the actors when they talk politics because I don't care if they like the same politicians that I do or vice versa. I just watch them on their show because I like it. I could care less about their politics.
Jane O'Reilly we didn't care about their politics but they went out of their way to draw attention. If I worked for one of them as an accountant or gardener & stridently threw my politics in their face. I have no doubt I would be fired. Enjoy the show. They ruined it for me. However, I would happily watch Mr. Parsons in a different show.
Dorian .....it is in reference to : Do Not Judge: Matthew 7 verse 5... "You Hypocrite! First take the beam out of your own eye, then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your bother's eye." It means worry about your owns sins first!
I don’t honestly believe that Roseanne should of had her show cancelled because of one tweet. When the president of the untied states can tweet more Outrageous and offensive things and still has everything going for him. It’s kind of hypocritical in my opinion. People are so offended these days.
When twitter was first rolled out FOX kept adding the disclaimer that it was owned by people associated with their network. Ownership has bounced around since then.
Jim Parsons is an exemplar of kindness, openness, and courage (and, of course, talent!!!! LOADS of it!). I am extremely impressed with the interviewer too. He wasn't afraid to ask the tough questions and engage in a meaningful discussion about what it means to be a human.
Sure... conservatives are warm and loving and accepting... of their own kind. period. It doesn't count people. we live in a WORLD... I know that's a weird concept for you......lol...
salmonline i do appreciate your condescending attitude, but im not gonna talk to you like that because its gross. I know youre assuming im a conservative just because im defending the fact that not all conservatives are bad. But im not a conservative. So its not my “brand”. You simply can not say all ____ is anything because there are always exceptions.
Bronco - This show is more akin to a department at a large company. Companies shut down departments all the time because they're either not profitable or don't align with the company's direction. It sucks that they lost their jobs because their boss couldn't manage her social media addiction but she should have known better. She definitely should have known better. Life will go on.
It may turn out that No One loses their jobs. I think it would be great if everyone could accept Roseanne's sincere apology and, "Let the Show Go On." (it was a Stupid Joke. Like when she sang the National Anthem)
I have a lot of trouble trying to understand why LGBTQ , immigrants, women and some black people still call themselves conservatives or republicans, I just think that is still possible but I will love to see more of this people talking more directly against the president, are they afraid of betraying the right wing or what?
Because people can still have values that differ from your own. That doesn't degrade them as a person and they aren't pawns in a game. Their people with their own beliefs and I support them for going against the grain.
What I mean is I understand people in the right side have an opinion and values that I find difficult to understand but they are still a different perspective and that is still good, what I don't understand is why they follow the president even if he represents the opposite of conservative values and don't want to see how wrong he represents the entire country
Ariel Quiroz they don't believe he is wrong. I like many people, feel he is exactly what the country needs right now. Until all this division and insanity calms down, he is the only one who can weather the storm and keep the country from tearing itself apart. One thing you gotta give the man is he is a Juggernaut.
Adam Rush ok, let me see if I understand: are you saying that he is not creating this division and he is the one who will end it? I’m impressed by the level of denial of his base. Thank you for sharing your perspective, I hope we get out soon of this post truth era and we break the eco chamber.
colette s you are welcome to do your research or travel to Sudamérica or every country in the world enjoying real democracy without electoral college and no tabu about criticizing the president
With all the recent career erasing scandals, Rosanne's bad joke was still not illegal. Our own government even legally recognizes comedy as being different from slander. Social media, or any other written communication, is infamous for not playing well with our emotions. It's why we had to invent idiotic emoticons and equate all caps as yelling. Pop-Culture already separates being famous from being internet-famous, and it's the same as being funny and being funny online, separating the two needs to be the next step. We shouldn't expect anyone to be as equally talented in both mediums. There's always been a unique intelligence in the comedy of Roseanne, it's subtle yet brilliant. The original series aired right after the discovery of HIV/AIDS and during the time Matthew Shepard's death was not considered a hate crime. Nobody, not one teacher, politician, celebrity, parent, or friend, I mean NOT ONE publicly admitted homosexual youth existed. I knew I existed as a gay teen living in the Midwest. So when conservatives found new things to hate about me, Rosanne still had recurring openly gay characters. Nobody was dying from AIDS, were bike-shop owning pedophiles, trans-sexual serial killers, suicidal or even outcast in small town middle America. They were real, with real job, and have the same issues. Nobody was a "very special episode" gay. It seems subtle now, but watching a show where being out was normal and accepted with my parents... It was a profoundly positive message to a gay white kid living in Kansas. Throw in Rosanne didn't respond favorably to the kiss, she was still straight and loved Dan of course, and it's as subversive as "All in the Family." I really hope there's something more to this, America is just waiting for a second shoe to drop for Roseanne. If not, this is some next level BS. A talented female comedian was destroyed for telling one joke, and the outcome professionally is the same as somebody who drugged and raped for decades.
exactly!! Jim even makes a point to say all elected leaders.. That goes for BOTH sides stirring hate. But leave it to CNN to instantly get triggered and say "YOU MEAN TRUMP grgfaghfkjghfagfahjgfkja"
Because in that one singular moment of him becoming President, Hate crime in Canada had jumped by 400 % So clearly there is a correlation between the two.Now I don't personally hate Trump but I also don't like him either and I am neither Left Or Right wing.
because he didnt take an extreme stance on the issue..I think many people thought he was going to say Barr was evil, racist, etc..instead he was civil, and was basically non-political...I suspect many on the left disliked it for the same reason many on the right disliked it..it wasnt hateful, and divisive.
This guy is very classy in ways that most of Hollywood aren’t. I like him.
I always liked him he is not only a funny comic actor but a humble good person
I love Jim Parsons, he’s so articulate and insightful. His points are great.☺️
Jim Parsons summed it up nice... "We're frequently offended by things that aren't important."
I haven't seen an interview with Jim Parsons before this; isn't he an affablle and sweet-natured, intelligent man?!
What a flippin' FLAWLESS interview by Jim Parsons. I'm fascinated by certain celebrities' ability to speak on polarizing topics in a way that is strong and honest, without condemning the other side or specific people. In this interview, he didn't shy away from any topic, he spoke honestly and openly, addressed everything, but did it in a way that wasn't judgmental or cruel to anyone else. I respect him even more because I didn't get the feel that he was pandering or being careful. It's just the natural skill of being a good gd person.
Retrospectors Agreed. I really appreciate that he didn't bite on the bait that was thrown at him and turned it around. Well done.
Well said.
Yeah I'm not a massive Jim Parsons fan by any means, but this right here is how you do it.
Retrospectors Agreed! 100%. And this is not someone who is “coached” on how to speak, but TRUE human decency & kindness. It comes from his soul & it shows. He’s an eloquent speaker & all around “nice guy”. Refreshing to see, especially now. Bravo Jim!
Jim spoken like a true American part liberal and part conservative talking and unafraid to speak your mind. I salute you 🇱🇷
"We are all so easily offended." You said it Sheldon!
It's a cherade. Noones really that offended. Media makes it. Ppl feel obligated to follow suit
i guess Im asking the wrong place but does someone know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account..?
I was stupid forgot my account password. I appreciate any tips you can give me.
@Marshall Angelo Instablaster :)
I love Jim Parsons. He always seems to have such a kind heart.
You are so rude. YES, I'm sure. Jim is always polite and he's also extremely talented. I prefer to judge people based on their character, not the person they love.
These people are just actors... Why does their opinion matter at all anyway??? How is it that in our Society that actors who are merely and only portraying payroll suddenly in this country have so much say so why are there voices so important now anyway actors get paid more than any other profession it's ridiculous they're not even real people
Parsons is an honest man
It's kind of strange to keep asking him about Rosanne Barr. He did well on the answers but it's not anything to do with him so you're just putting him on the spot.
Double Guitars exactly. How about interview the man about...I dont know..ummm.him! Woul love to have heard a few things about how he is doing and about his life. But we must stir the shit. How else will it be relevant?
Very well said Jim
I know, I felt like Parson dodged political landmines left and right.
It's called news it's a big topic so her wants him to talk about it huur duur the nigga got to eat too
Double Guitars these shows are just baiters. Attempting to get something juicy or simple race baiting
Jim Parsons is a beautiful person...inside and out...
And he appears to have married a beautiful person as well! They look very happy together and I hope they have a lifetime of joy!
What Are You Waiting For? I don't know about out lol. Kinda looks like an 👽
If he were such a beautiful person, he would completely and unequivocally repudiate and reject the neo nazi, nationalistic, fascist message of this administration, and ANYTHING that condones it... especially a television show that "normalizes" trump supporters.
digital1 ministry9 he doesn’t want to alienate is fans it’s perfectly understandable he didn’t say anything calm down

Jim Parsons....Seems to have a head on his shoulders...Agree or disagree with his views is another issue ... But, He is articulate and well spoken, and not willing ( it appears ) to offer a position or stand on which he has no formed opinion. I like those that know enough to know that they don't know enough !!

I loved when he said "how and why?" I think comment summed up the entire situation perfectly
Just dont say stupid things and stay off Twitter. Boom, done
Jimmy is Promo BEST COMMENT TODAY
But that goes against the enlightened example of Dear Leader. How can conservatives do that?
One of the primary reasons for Trump's being elected, is that people have had enough of living in terror that something they say or do, that is acceptable today, will destroy their life, 20 years from now. So no, 'dont say stupid shit', isnt an answer.
no, when people say things they don't think they are being stupid. When you are racist, misogynistic, xenophobe, or just an asshole you don't think there is anything wrong with what you are saying. Your "logic" is really not solving anything XD
Spring Bloom. Nailed it. We all make mistakes, but for something to haunt you for the rest of your life, especially if you paid the piper for it when it took place is just ridiculous, and yes that is one of the reasons I also voted for Trump.
Jim Parsons is always so eloquent... love him!
"eloquent"... hahaha... nice word
flamboyant
I was just wondering what he thought about the whole Roseanne situation.. Lol
"Politicians can now say things entertainers cant".
Well, that happens when politicians dont need to win the popular vote and entertainers do.
He's very well spoken
Alicia Veal he is disgusting
Kevin Russell not judging your opinion just more curious as of why? You know something I dont?
@@lamelwinston5638 Probably. I do know a lot
Kevin Russell ok
@@lamelwinston5638 And if you live in the US you are most likely quite ignorant
THIS is how you do an interview when they are very obviously trying to drama-bait you by asking about a controversial topic. Go Jim!
He's right! Laurie Metcalf should've had her own show years ago. The woman is a comedic genius! Enough with the cameos...
Juke Highwalker I've always loved her! She was my favourite on the original show.
I just love Jim Parsons... He's so true and lovely and nice... Good to see that!
JonnyMacSeabiscuit is he though?
Could listen to him do interviews all day. He seems so chill
A breath of fresh air without being crass or a raving lunatic, classy and respectful.
Bill A exactly
LoveHard Loka ,sorry if this is inappropriate, but you are georgous!
LoveHard Loka he’s a fucking racist bigot
I watch Sheldon regularly. I just today realized I have NEVER seen a black person on his show.
Jim Parsons has the tri-fecta. He's handsome, intelligent and an intuitive communicator. He is Jim first and not an identity or group. His experience with marriage if you didn't see the picture could have described any marriage. That is what it's all about. Love, not biology. I have enjoyed every interview or commentary he has done publically. I first heard him talking about sports and it was great. Thank you Jim for all your creative endeavors. I thought Van did a good job in this piece until he went to far thanking and apparently somewhat embarrassing his guest with Hero speak at the end. When you run into a person with a reasonable perspective and values they may seem like a hero but it's only because you gave them an uninterrupted platform where you actually listened without triggering and you began with respect to the person speaking. You were polite and it went well. Jim Parsons is an entertainer, not a hero in the classic sense, he is great but would be just as great if he was a electrician who was your neighbor. There is a reason a majority liked this interview. It was a graphic on qualities lost on division and partisanship. There is a space were we can all live together, JP and people like him are there waiting for more to join him.
This guy is a class act. Cool as a cucumber.
pookpookpook88 Agree. He’s so calm. You don’t see that nearly enough these days. (And I don’t agree with him.)
@Turbo Turd - That comment of yours is DISGUSTING! Not to mention very crass and foul as well.
pookpookpook88 as tangy as a orange
pookpookpook88 how about you be a class act and bend over spread those asscheeks and expose your chocolate starfish to me and let me get a whff
There will always be a "turbo turd". They are the flashers who open their trench coat to expose their wares (in this case with a need to share stupidity) hoping for outraged responses to this arrested developed act. It is just dangling bits and no brain. They can't help it-it is in their nature.
Unless people understand the difference between political satire or ridiculing and flat out racism. These things are gonna continue happening.
James Jenia nope. Nothing especially wrong with what Wolfe said or Sam bee. And before you start insulting me, I'm not American; I'm not a liberal and I give zero shites about your politics other than watching it as entertainment
Rishabh Kumar nobody should police what you can say. You disgust me.
I think the notable thing here is....you have the right to say what you want...Rosanne Barr isn't in jail for saying what she said. Shoot...the red head one isn't in jail for holding up a bloody head of Trump....so they aren't being policed. However, when you speak or write things out loud...then you risk attack, or ramifications. Rosanne has the right to say what she wishes....ABC has the right to not want to be attached to such sentiments. Agree or disagree....we still have the right...AND that is pretty awesome
Samantha Bee and Michelle Wolf went after politics. Sure they go ugly, but they're ugly about politics not about race.
Hypocrisy is smiling when Nugent called Hillary Clinton a c**t, but being offended when Bee called Ivanka Trump the same thing.
Danny D. Nobody is policing anyone on what to say or not. But just because there is free speech, it doesn't make you immune from its repercussions.
wow, great interview. left/right who cares - be kind to each other.
formerly 987946216430 exactly
Thank You!
But all the shit they said about Trump is fair game though right?
Aiden Rawlins all the shit trump says about Latinos or Asians is fair game??
Andy Jones blacks are very sensitive to anything racist. Especially in this day and age when you can actually voice that you are being discriminated against and get sympathy for it. Talking about racism is still a fairly new thing. Now that more people are aware of it and others feel safe to say something without too much condemnation, then they'll do it. It's basically another me too movement. And a lot of blacks or dark skinned people still face hate due to their skin tone or lifestyle. It's way deeper than just being butt hurt over racist jokes. And that's how a lot of black people take it.
I agree, Metcalfe is hilarious to me. She's always been really good.
What an intelligent man, very astute
fivebyfive88 Taking it in the ass really makes you sharp apparently
B F. There’s them nice Christians values I hear so much about. 🙄. Go away
B F Why do you say that?
Smarter than some people in this thread, at least.
He's gay and married and has right wing believes...but wasn't it the left who put the law of same sex marriage into effect ummmm.....🤔
Jim Parsons (not Sheldon) is a dead ringer for Mr. Rogers. I mean that in the best way. Not just his looks, but his mannerisms, speech, etc. I heard Tom Hanks is going to play Mr. Rogers, but with respect to Mr. Hanks, that's a mistake.
oodoodanoo I see it too, absolutely and undeniably. Good eye.
So true!!!
oodoodanoo he would be perfect for the part!
Hands, leg cross oh my😍😍🤗
oodoodanoo
My grandma would make a good Mr. Rogers . Please wont you be my nigga 👊😚
I always loved the character Sheldon, now I love the man Jim Parsons. Sir, you are amazing.
Right after Sheldon says you have to be careful what you say in interviews, the interview proceeds to barrage him with political landmines about Roseanne. He dodged that trap like a politician.
Sassy Monkey For your information, "Sheldon" was not in this interview. If you actually believe hew was, the I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. Welcome to reality.
Quest 4 Truth you really take yourself too seriously. I don't. Try to wrap your head around it.
Cnn tried to mess him up,but Jim gave a great interview
Lisa, go back and reread the statements.
josh baker Make me
Such a great guy! Very genuine, warm and well-spoken. It's always a pleasure to see Jim interviewed.
He is cool as hell.
Nature Boy *an
YES HE IS !!!!!!
Watch Big Bang without the laugh track
Yeah, real cool
He seems to have male hormone deficiencies
Why & How? Perfectly sums that up
Jim Parsons is one classy guy and he's an incredible dramatic actor. I saw him on Broadway in a couple of plays (NOT comedies) and he was brilliant. And his performance in "Hidden Figures" was certainly worthy of an Oscar nomination for best supporting actor. Moreover, he's got the meatiest role in the revival of ?Boys in the Band" on Broadway and he just about steals the whole show. Of course, he has the biggest role in the whole play. His final breakdown scene is pure electricity.
I agree
He's a very good actor. It was surprising how well he could play a serious person.
I got to see him at the beginning of May in Boys in the Band before he broke his foot and got his autograph. Was just phenomenal as Michael . Laughed and cried throughout Sweet guy
Are you his wife or husband ha ha ha dumbass
He was great in anal assassins 3
I liked Jim,now I like him more.He is so grounded.
Very well said Jim !
Erin Vaughn how many times are you going to comment?
as many times as she wants...
What a Joke. So it's okay to make fun of Indians and Jews on The Big Bang Theory. That's okay. You just have to be selective with your racism in order for it to be passable per CNN.
Fred Howell oh my god. The person who plays Howard is Jewish, the person who plays Rosh (sorry don’t know how to spell his name) is actually an Indian. It’s self deprecating humor and that’s what makes it funny. If it were a non Jew or a white person than the jokes wouldn’t be funny. Can’t you understand that??
Unapologetically Sassy, Exactly. The entire show is based on Horrible Racial stereo types. It's one of the most racist shows on Television.
Came here for Jim, but kudos also to the interviewer! what a nice guy, good questions! very enjoyable to watch!
Well said. Definitely a refreshing voice of sanity.
If TBBT ever gets canceled, Jim Parsons should become the next Mister Rogers.
paul sticks Since when did being gay make a person a pedophile? If youre going to say you were joking (because you wrote, "lol") let me stop you & give you a piece of advice... jokes are supposed to be funny! What you wrote was just lazy, unoriginal & weak.
paul sticks Actually I know more than I care to sit & count. I bartended in one of the most popular punk clubs in Chicago for years and met and became friends with people repping every letter that LGBTQ stands for. The closest & nicest person I am friends with from there is a gay man who is also a crossdresser. And you know what? I would trust him with my sons life. Its really sad that you judge people you dont know by their sexuality.
paul sticks Furthermore, it has been scientifically proven that gay men are not more interested sexually in children than straight men. Google it or read this article & educate yourself before you spread more hateful & homophobic bullshit. ✌
sexresearchhoneypot.blogspot.com/2011/02/do-gay-men-have-more-sexual-interest-in.html?m=1
jhillst Tom Hanks beat him to it. He has a movie coming out as Mister Rodgers.
@Paul Sticks you are chewed the fuck up man.
I knew i liked him as a person
People should spend more time focusing on their self worth instead of investing all their energy into being angry at other people.
Unfortunately there's a disease called leftism which a lot of stupid and/or ignorant people unfortunately suffer from which prevents this from happening.
@@road3240 Hm yes, it’s bad the leftists don’t like racists
Wow. Every time I hear Jim Parsons speak, I like him more. I agree with everything he says here, and he just seems like such a warm well meaning true person. Great job.
We have to stop bullying each other as adults. We are setting the example for the children. Can't imagine where they are getting it from....
Brilliantly said and doubly so about Laurie Metcalf. She's an incredible actress.
Also beautiful. Fine.
What a genuinely nice guy!
The thing is that wasn't her ONLY tweet. It was just the LATEST tweet that BROKE THE CAMELS BACK. P.S. Jim I Love you! Thank you for your humor.
and everyone loses their job? i hope the cast sues the shit out of abc.. this blanket punishment of this show will cost them millions.. they need to be boycotted .. and broke.. stupid fucks
Rose Smith Right. I think ABC had been struggling with her and the show for a while. The only time she or the show was in the news was for some controversy, and the kind that boosts ratings. Even though I get the outrage, the fact that it was canceled so fast makes me think they were already ready to push her out the door.
i hope abc gets the shit sued out of it.. morons she is the best pr these assholes ever had..
Rose Smith what about joy Reid?? I assume you think that’s ok. She’s a serial twitter troll and actually said somebody broke into her account and had the fbi investigate. I’m assuming that was ok??? She still has her job and nbc is backing her. You liberal hypocrites
TDOT 4LIFE, first of all I don't know who Joy Reid is, so don't give a shit what she tweeted. I stay OFF Twitter due to too many people sharing idiotic opinions. P.S. NOT a liberal, thank you very much 😑
I just love him! He is so sweet, sincere, and genuine. A treasure. And a hilarious actor!
Russian Bot #19538532 .... That was unexpected. Lol
Russian Bot #19538532 and still more a man than you could ever be.
tama yeager gibson 😂 same
Trinity & Beyond MSP oh he deleted his comment.
Russian Bot #19538532 😂😂
To me the worst thing is that people are out of work.
What a sweet guy. We need more of him ❤
Yas! Give Laurie Metcalf her own show. She is incredible, amazing and overall just a class act.
Laurie owes everything to Roseanne. She was a 33-year old nothing failure before being cast as Jackie. Until that point her biggest claim to fame was her 45 seconds in Desperately Seeking Susan, right? LOL
She was really good in Uncle Buck.
She only got Uncle Buck because she was on Roseanne.
Great interview, Jim Parsons is a great guy!
Jim is always so well spoken I just love him!
He can do or say no wrong...
great interview really was....
One of the best interviews of Jim Parsons!❤❤❤❤
He asked him some tough, controversial questions and I think Jim handled it well Love him
mitch what was so tough about the questions??
Questions he's going to get flack about no matter how he answers them (Obviously)
mitch yeah CNN always asks the tough questions. Lmao. (Sarcasm). He’s just another political puppet for the left.
Nothing was controversial. It was tame.
Obviously it was if there's this many comments
I love his take on it all. Such a gentleman.
You cannot help but like Jim Parsons!
I love Jim Parsons. He seems like such a gentle soul. And a good man.
What I don't understand is that cancelling an entire show is not just punishing that one 'culprit' but the entire set and miscellaneous (young struggling) actors. So cancelling an entire show is such a knee-jerk. Punish the individual with social work or a fine, but let the work continue. There are jobs lost!
Your comment offended me. You must pay $200 in order to pass Go.
It was bad for business to keep it. Advertisers would have pulled out because of the backlash they would have felt if they continued to sponsor her show. And no sponsor means no revenue.
1 bad apple spoils the bunch. It's unfortunate, but true.
The only person it was bad for was his wife
What did she do? Lol
People knows Jim all over the the world. My children watches the show all day when they are not in school. The world loves you
So, the US people cannot take anything, any saying from a comedian , but if that's what the US president said, and you're all fine with it? I mean, people talking the comedic act more seriously from a comedian than a US official !
The "rules" have changed....it's all fucked up! [[grabs popcorn]]
Easy explanation. Roseanne was easy to bully. Trump can't be bullied. ABC is part of the fascist liberal agenda, so they shut her down. And in doing so stupidly slaughtered their biggest cash cow is ages. But that's OK. I'm sure George Soros can write them a big check to cover the hassle.
He has an energy that just shines through his eyes and composure. Love him!
wow, I haven't watched the big bang theory in a while.
Sheldon sure grew a lot on his social skills.
Bonoyeah zz,as, I thinkwar
SHELDON!!!!! IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I WATCHED BIG BANG THEORY, I'M GONNA WATCH NOW!!!!! LOVE YOU SHELDON I LOVE BIG BANG THEORY 😂😂
It‘s so crazy to watch Sheldon in an interview
Ben Muray ... I know you have the letter "n" available to you. I saw three of them in your comment.
Don't try to bait Me In You simple-minded fool I can look through muddy water and see dry land besides Malcolm put me up on game dealing with you
John Campbell ... Hmmm. You seem... Confused.
J W only to those who have a very limited understanding
John Campbell ... Again, you have inserted unrelated comments in a thread that didn't include you to begin with. I would suggest rethinking, but that would require thinking previously.
Simply love Jim Parsons when hes not being Sheldon. Such a nice down to earth guy. Great interview
All of our political discourse could learn from this interview.
It’s nice seeing an interview where their is no political disrespect and don’t make their “party affiliation” bias known.
how does he look so young? what's his secret?
Ask Dorian Gray

i don't think sheldon is Hutu or Tutsi.. um.. maybe i'll go with diet
The Best interview with him I have seen, Well done Jim !!
I love Jim Parsons
Who doesn't?
FUCK THAT ASSHOLE, JIM PARSONS
Mee too! Texas proud!
I wonder if he is related to Jack Parsons of JPL? tinyurl.com/OccultNASA
I have a gay cousin from Georgia. Our family comes from an extremely religious, Bible beating background. But his sexuality, though we may not understand it, NEVER comes between him and any of us. It's about family. His sexuality changes nothing about how much we love and adore him. He is just a wonderful human being.
speck as it should.
Bible beating background lol kudos for being considerate of others that's how it's intended to be.
Brian Williams except it's always an issue where right wingers are concerned. The sooner we let people have relationships with whoever they like (man, woman, trans) and not ridicule them for being sinners and abominations the better off we will be. Same with racial and nationality concerns. We are all people capable of being good or bad. Some of us choose to not see that and go with the people that push the stereotypes.
David Vaughn When are people going to realize that you cannot lump everyone together on any characteristic? "Right wingers" are this that and the other. News flash! Not all feel that way. Plenty of God fearing people love everyone else unconditionally. So deal with it.
speck love this comment...
When it is all said and done, what Roseanne did just did not make sense. Why would she do that?!? I understand why her show was canceled, but what she did just made no sense.
She did it because some people feel the President makes it okay to be that way.
I seriously think Roseanne didn't realize VJ is black. I certainly wouldn't think so from looking at a picture she looks Sicilian or perhaps Moroccan.
Chewbacca defense ua-cam.com/video/xwdba9C2G14/v-deo.html
It really does show that Trump can get away with anything when the "real people" he claims to represent obviously cannot. Roseanne had a lucrative job, no doubt. But if she can't get away with a minor thing compared to the things he "tweets," it just proves he can say whatever he wants with no consequences. So good for her. A Trump voter showing that what he's doing is obviously not okay with American standards.
nemo321 that woman is not fucking black.
If she is black I am aryan
What a great piece. Insightful and real. The more I see Jim Parsons the more I learn and understand.
Jim is incredibly well-spoken, and Van had some very respectful questions going. If more liberal shows and guests did interviews like these instead of abusive verbal barrages, they may attract more viewers and people in general. Take notes, Samantha Bee.
Observing that people on one side of a partisan divide are two partisan is... comically partisan zzz
Christian Baxter Oh get out of here. Conservatives have been trashing liberals ever since the 60's, and I see way more UA-cam comments of conservatives bashing liberals than vice versa. We're gonna fight fire with fire and trash those brainwashed bible thumping, 1950's political sheep.
I remember the days when no one had such a platform like social media. The only time we hard celebrities, comedians or some kind of entertainers was on tv, DVD or radio. Interviews in the magazines or some kind of print. It was great. I didn't care about anything else but for them to entertain. I didn't care about their politics, religion or ideologies. Good times.
Except when Ronald Reagan became President...?
I was surprised that he was actually very well considered during this interview, was expecting more phoney outrage but he rebuffed that. I don’t agree that Roseanne’s show was cancelled over a single tweet per se, it was cancelled by a preposterous overreaction to a joke that has been made about a woman thought to be white and that is no different to all the Orangutan jokes made about President Trump.
Rex Nemovi 1. Wrong, but nice try. Someone can look African American and not look like every other African American. Unless you think “they all look the same” 🤔
2. Again, it does NOT matter what POA was about. She called a black woman an ape.
M H
1. Nobody but you talked about any group of people all looking the same. The issue is whether Jarrett does or doesn't exhibit obviously identifiable features of her partial African descent. If Jarrett exhibits them, they must exist, if they don't exist, she cannot exhibit them. If that's too difficult a concept for you to grasp, just don't worry about it.
2. Your repeating this lie (of course, I have no way of knowing whether you actually haven't read Roseanne's tweet and are merely parroting what you've heard, or you actually read it but are not literate enough to understand it) won't make it true. That of course won't save Roseanne from being subjected to 21st century equivalent of being burned on stake or lynched by the ignorant mob.
A bit ironic when it's people like you who is calling the others bigoted.
Rex Nemovi 1. You are the one who said Jarrett doesn’t display African features. Thus, you are the one who believes that African American people must look a certain way.
2. Again, it does not matter what the plot was. She called a black woman an ape
M H
1. You are the one who said that it "is a complete lie that Jarrett doesn’t look African American". So it's YOU who says that there exists such a thing as "looking African American" and that Jarrett exhibits that. Again, either you were wrong saying such a look exists, or you are wrong saying that Jarrett exhibits it. And you are the one who tries to bring into the debate any kind of groups.
2. We've cleared that out. I accept that either it is beyond your intellectual horizon to grasp what Roseanne's tweet was about, or you know and understand that you're lying but you're determined to stick with that. It' is not my life's ambition to succeed in educating you or to make you stop lying, so I am ok with that.
Rex Nemovi 1. Again, you are the one who believes aa must look a particular way or they’re not aa. And funny, you’ve tried to be insulting throughout your flimsy arguments. First sign you’ve lost.
You're a very good actor keep it up and good-hearted person I love the Big Bang Theory it's great
I'm 63.. I'm approaching my endgame time... In this Nations diverse poppulaton.. It gives me extreme comfort to know that there are still hopefull, men and women, who will carry on the primary principles of this Great Nation.. Regardless of the times.. Thank you Mr. Parsons..
How come on 63 you approach the end? Get some sense in your head.
Don H you still have many years dude!! Trust me, it’s not like your 80 yet.
Don H
if you go back in time and tell your 30 year old self something, what would it be?
cluelessflower Being 80 doesn’t mean it’s the end either. My Mother in law is 85 & has a more active life than most 30-40 year olds I know! lol She bowls twice a week in a league, (with an average of 180!) goes to get her hair done every week, plays bingo 3 times a week, & she’s ALWAYS on the go. She still drives, (better than most..lol) And travels at least once a year. Last year she went to Rome for 2 weeks, & has traveled across the country at least twice a year for the last 4-5 years, to visit relatives. She was forced to leave her job (yes, job!) in a NURSING HOME, as a Nurse’s Aide, at age 80 because the Home’s insurance policy would not cover her anymore. She still wanted to work, & they wanted to keep her. It’s crazy! This woman is seriously active, & has more stamina than anyone I know. I swear, she will live into the triple digits. I guess the key to living a long life is to keep active, both body & mind. (Oh yeah, she LOVES crossword puzzles too! lol)
Don H Please read my response to cluelessflower.... You are NOT approaching your endgame. As I told them, my Mother in Law is 85 & has a very full & active life. She was forced to quit her job at age 80, (in a nursing home!) because the home’s insurance would no longer cover her. She AND the Nursing Home wanted her to stay on. Read my other response. Life is what you make it. (& I am a VERY sick person, so I know) The key to a long life is staying active, both physically & mentally. I guarantee my Mom in law will live to be in her 100’s, & active & happy till the end.
My wife and I used to watch "BBT" but stopped because Jim Parsons' co-stars made so many hateful & filthy comments before & after the election.
It's a pity because Parsons sounds like a genuinely nice level-headed guy.
I still watch the big bang theory. I didn't like some of the performers comments,but I love the show. I just don't watch the actors when they talk politics because I don't care if they like the same politicians that I do or vice versa. I just watch them on their show because I like it. I could care less about their politics.
Jane O'Reilly we didn't care about their politics but they went out of their way to draw attention.
If I worked for one of them as an accountant or gardener & stridently threw my politics in their face. I have no doubt I would be fired.
Enjoy the show. They ruined it for me.
However, I would happily watch Mr. Parsons in a different show.
Why do you care what actors think about politics or anything... they are entertainers. They dont make rules or are going to change your life. Haha
Beautiful wedding photo
Rebecca Benway whahaha brilliant comment .
Lmao so into politics
Dorian... take the beam out for your own eye first...
what beam?
Dorian .....it is in reference to : Do Not Judge: Matthew 7 verse 5... "You Hypocrite! First take the beam out of your own eye, then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your bother's eye." It means worry about your owns sins first!
"the great commission"...google the scripture
I don’t honestly believe that Roseanne should of had her show cancelled because of one tweet. When the president of the untied states can tweet more Outrageous and offensive things and still has everything going for him. It’s kind of hypocritical in my opinion. People are so offended these days.
love you jim
Simple...don't tweet! And that includes POTUS.
When twitter was first rolled out FOX kept adding the disclaimer that it was owned by people associated with their network. Ownership has bounced around since then.
But it's TRULY not hard to look sumone dead straight in their face & say ... BAZINGA!
Jim Parsons is an exemplar of kindness, openness, and courage (and, of course, talent!!!! LOADS of it!). I am extremely impressed with the interviewer too. He wasn't afraid to ask the tough questions and engage in a meaningful discussion about what it means to be a human.
SHELDON COOPER

oy vey
Jim Parsons has been going hard and strong for over a century.
you mean decade?
Haha he must be over a hundred years old
Sure... conservatives are warm and loving and accepting... of their own kind. period.
It doesn't count people. we live in a WORLD... I know that's a weird concept for you......lol...
salmonline some conservatives are warm, loving and accepting. Sorry.
Step up.
Your brand is suffering severe damage, sweetheart...lol...
salmonline oh yeah, and whats my brand?
Did you not pay attention when you typed and sent your last message, sweetie?...lol...
You tell me, hon...lol...
salmonline i do appreciate your condescending attitude, but im not gonna talk to you like that because its gross. I know youre assuming im a conservative just because im defending the fact that not all conservatives are bad. But im not a conservative. So its not my “brand”. You simply can not say all ____ is anything because there are always exceptions.
Jim Parsons is the absolute best!! Great interview Van!!
LETS PAY ATTN TO WHAT THIS EDUCATED CELEBRITY THINKS
If any manager, or employee for that matter, of a fortune 500 company tweeted the same thing they'd be out of a job too.
bluemystic7501 but you dont shut down the company.
So she shouldn't be treated the same because she is the head of a "company"?
Bronco - This isn't a company.
bluemystic7501 my point is why punish all those ppl whos jobs were on that show
Bronco - This show is more akin to a department at a large company. Companies shut down departments all the time because they're either not profitable or don't align with the company's direction. It sucks that they lost their jobs because their boss couldn't manage her social media addiction but she should have known better. She definitely should have known better. Life will go on.
It may turn out that No One loses their jobs.
I think it would be great if everyone could accept Roseanne's sincere apology and,
"Let the Show Go On."
(it was a Stupid Joke. Like when she sang the National Anthem)
Van Jones is so hoooooooot.
Jim Parson is a person I’d love to meet, he’s just lovely.
I have a lot of trouble trying to understand why LGBTQ , immigrants, women and some black people still call themselves conservatives or republicans, I just think that is still possible but I will love to see more of this people talking more directly against the president, are they afraid of betraying the right wing or what?
Because people can still have values that differ from your own. That doesn't degrade them as a person and they aren't pawns in a game. Their people with their own beliefs and I support them for going against the grain.
What I mean is I understand people in the right side have an opinion and values that I find difficult to understand but they are still a different perspective and that is still good, what I don't understand is why they follow the president even if he represents the opposite of conservative values and don't want to see how wrong he represents the entire country
Ariel Quiroz they don't believe he is wrong. I like many people, feel he is exactly what the country needs right now. Until all this division and insanity calms down, he is the only one who can weather the storm and keep the country from tearing itself apart. One thing you gotta give the man is he is a Juggernaut.
Adam Rush ok, let me see if I understand: are you saying that he is not creating this division and he is the one who will end it? I’m impressed by the level of denial of his base. Thank you for sharing your perspective, I hope we get out soon of this post truth era and we break the eco chamber.
colette s you are welcome to do your research or travel to Sudamérica or every country in the world enjoying real democracy without electoral college and no tabu about criticizing the president
Wow. Vann Jones is so good looking.
"He's clean and articulate too."
-- Joe Biden
Yes he is n very smary
Yes he is.
With all the recent career erasing scandals, Rosanne's bad joke was still not illegal. Our own government even legally recognizes comedy as being different from slander. Social media, or any other written communication, is infamous for not playing well with our emotions. It's why we had to invent idiotic emoticons and equate all caps as yelling. Pop-Culture already separates being famous from being internet-famous, and it's the same as being funny and being funny online, separating the two needs to be the next step. We shouldn't expect anyone to be as equally talented in both mediums. There's always been a unique intelligence in the comedy of Roseanne, it's subtle yet brilliant.
The original series aired right after the discovery of HIV/AIDS and during the time Matthew Shepard's death was not considered a hate crime. Nobody, not one teacher, politician, celebrity, parent, or friend, I mean NOT ONE publicly admitted homosexual youth existed. I knew I existed as a gay teen living in the Midwest. So when conservatives found new things to hate about me, Rosanne still had recurring openly gay characters. Nobody was dying from AIDS, were bike-shop owning pedophiles, trans-sexual serial killers, suicidal or even outcast in small town middle America. They were real, with real job, and have the same issues. Nobody was a "very special episode" gay. It seems subtle now, but watching a show where being out was normal and accepted with my parents... It was a profoundly positive message to a gay white kid living in Kansas. Throw in Rosanne didn't respond favorably to the kiss, she was still straight and loved Dan of course, and it's as subversive as "All in the Family."
I really hope there's something more to this, America is just waiting for a second shoe to drop for Roseanne. If not, this is some next level BS. A talented female comedian was destroyed for telling one joke, and the outcome professionally is the same as somebody who drugged and raped for decades.
TY for pointing out the hypocrisy! We love you #VanJonesShow !
“That’s my spot.”
PumpkinEskobarr 🤣🤣🤣
Why is it always about trump and politics with CNN?
Jace Johnson because politicians are elected officials that can’t be fired because or racism or bigotry.
Because it’s great for their ratings. Their ratings sucked during the Obama years.
Pattorihanzo really so it’s Obama fault
exactly!! Jim even makes a point to say all elected leaders.. That goes for BOTH sides stirring hate. But leave it to CNN to instantly get triggered and say "YOU MEAN TRUMP grgfaghfkjghfagfahjgfkja"
Because in that one singular moment of him becoming President, Hate crime in Canada had jumped by 400 % So clearly there is a correlation between the two.Now I don't personally hate Trump but I also don't like him either and I am neither Left Or Right wing.
Why does this have so many dislikes? What did he say that was so offensive to people?
because he didnt take an extreme stance on the issue..I think many people thought he was going to say Barr was evil, racist, etc..instead he was civil, and was basically non-political...I suspect many on the left disliked it for the same reason many on the right disliked it..it wasnt hateful, and divisive.
Great interview. Thank you both.
