the thing i love most about james spader is that he is such an intellectual eccentric without any affectations. he seems like such a fun non-judgemental person.
Well, then you didn’t come of age with John Hughes. His phenomenal acting was too convincing. His characters were literally out of a Bret Easton Ellis novel.
Every talk show appearance James makes I think,”He can’t possibly have any more stories to tell.” But there he is, a new story from his past. I don’t even care if they’re true or not. It’s such fun to watch his style of speaking and storytelling. I love that man.
@@dcool2u2 But they got to hear a great story. I guess my favorite killing was-I can’t recall titles-but it was in an early season. Raymond had tied a man to a chair and poured bourbon, or a bottle of some alcohol all over him. Then he put a lit cigar in his mouth. Raymond was sitting talking in a conversational voice, waiting for the cigar to burn long enough to drop ashes. Then he’d get to see the fire start and feel the man got what he deserved. He wasn’t feeling patient, He just stood and said,”Oh the hell with it!” and shot him. Throwing in little things like that are what makes Raymond Reddington different from anyone we’ll ever see again in TV. Thank goodness for DVDs and streaming. We can always watch the ones that are our favorites. I need to rewatch the entire first season before I jump on to others. I surely do miss him.
@@cards0486 Yeah I remember that scene. It was hilarious. One of my favorites was when he and Lizzy snuck their way into a uppity party where they were looking for the bad guy. Lizzy gets caught and was tied to a chair in a room with a guard. Red comes bursting in and acts like he's her personal butler. He says something to the guard like "You don't have to tell me sister!" I have watched that scene a bunch of times on UA-cam. I'm actually watching the series for the first time through and am on season 5. So still enjoying it. I have to be careful that I don't research anything on Google even for the simplest thing because I've run into spoilers a few times. I only see 9 seasons on Netflix. Is there actually a season 10 somewhere?
@@princesssprinklesthecat4192 lol, thats hilarious kiddo, the first episode is probably one of the worst in the entire series. maybe. the show got better and better until about season 8 or so. still better than most of the bs on tv now or at any point in time.
this interview listening to Mr. Spader made my entire wonderful day that much better...TY Seth for letting us enjoy your show with anticipation ...love & hugs
They offered him Ultron for What If and also for the video game but he turned them down. He works as little as possible, and he focuses all of his work energy he is willing to give to The Blacklist.
I loved him as Steff in Pretty In Pink. I know he wasn't supposed to be likable but i thought he owned that movie! There's a small scene when he's talking to Blaine on the stairs in the school. He says "You're going to be late buddy" and points up at the late bell a second before it goes off and has this great smirk on his face. I see that and think nobody can ACT that cool and not BE that cool! 😊
I love him so much! He’s the master of storytelling! And I love the way he simply jumps from one story to another! Hahahahaha James, you are welcome to come to Celaya in Mexico!
James Spader's memory reminded me of when we'd run out of a New Release title at Blockbuster, and they trained us to either push a different film of the same genre or another movie with the same star when we (inevitably) ran out of copies of tremendously popular films that they'd only sent us 7 copies of. 2 got eaten by VCRS the first week, 2 were never returned and 1 was stolen. A lot of people who came in to see Mike Nichols'(s?) "Angels in America" went home with The Graduate or Catch-22, which I don't think was what they came looking for. It's like someone coming in for "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" and your only on-shelf option is "Revolution #9 b/w "What's the New Mary Jane?" It feels morally wrong. :) Also, am I having some kind of Mandela-effect moment, or did James Spader ever have his name credited as Spaader? I can't get it out of my head that I've SEEN it, but also maybe it's just bleed-over from learning the title "Baader-Meinhof" around the same time and having a TBI in the last couple of years... It just 'feels' like I've seen it so I'm wondering if anybody else has that recollection. Also Also, The 'Some Girls' callback reference @4:21 was brilliantly understated. Also also (also) Sorry: I just relocated to Michigan, and I think I underestimated the potency of gummies this evening.
@@carlpop2324 Bwahahaha... I doubt anyone hopes I've 'saved' any for further loquacious, disjointed rantings, but your comment made me smile, so Hi. :)
If the title of this video was "Guess who spent 2 days looking for quaaludes in Mexico", we'd still know it was James Spader. I've not watched it yet, but there's a good chance it involves a Kennedy.
Or the total opposite to Spader's Record Store....the busy 2000 film "High Fidelity" Record Store. Where John Cusack worked together with Jack Black & Todd. Louiso.
Mexican 'ludes. I remember those days. And when they went from Rorer to Lemmon. Listening to James relate his tales is so much like when Red goes off on a tangent. I'd party with both/either.
Wish I had some Quaaludes right now!! Back in the seventies and eighties always kept some in my pocket because the girls really liked them, and so did I after..hehe.. now somas have taken their place if you can even find a doctor to write a script for them..😮😮😊😊
He and Robert downy Jr. Started out in a movie with Kim Richards! I wish, I could remember the name of that movie now, it was in the 80s! Lord he was a handsome devil! He still looks good for his age and just as humorous as always!
@@JB-pp1kt Yeah, not legally but you can buy it on the street, apparently it never went out of fashion there. I have a friend who ordered some online from there once.
Spader is the master of no point and yet total engagement storytelling. I’d definitely make him CEO of Sabre for that reason alone.
Président of usa ?
@@paulstewart6293 The Office. Tv Show.

I wished James and norm did Conan together
I could listen to him talking about literally anything for days!
the only reason i watched age of ultron twice
I could listen to him read the dictionary.
@@sarahwbs I could listen to him read the Constitution.

He's the fucking Lizard King
I’d love to have him at a party!
Well, then you didn’t come of age with John Hughes. His phenomenal acting was too convincing. His characters were literally out of a Bret Easton Ellis novel.
@@AroundTheWorldWithEase we're not talking sbout his acting. We're talking about his charm and personality in interviews and besides the big screen.
I love that he always sounds like he's had a few drinks. Still a gorgeous heartthrob.
Welp! *THAT* took a turn :P
He has.
Gorgeous? He looks like somebodies uncles fat thumb…
How is this man so enchanting to listen to?????

He is the 8th wonder of the world.
I love the stories he breaks into as Redington on the Blacklist. But the story usually ends with him shooting the person he told it to 😅

He needs to play John Lithgow's lil brother lol
Before I saw your post, I was just going to ask: Is James Spader turning into John Lithgow?
He’d be perfect!
Actually just that would be a great idea for a sitcom with them. Something high brow, like Niles and Frazier. It would be hilarious.
With the third being John Malkovich
I would contribute to that GoFundMe.😁
Best talk show guest ever!!!
THE BIG MAN WOULD WALK 20 MILES FOR A QUAALUDE
Underrated comment
JAJAJAJAJA
Mile for a camel
Same comment on a jordan belfort short smh
THAT WAS THE FUCKIN DRUG BACK IN THE LATE 70S AND 80S
The way he tells stories... You'd think he was still in character as Reddington.
After the first episode that show sucked
Spader, the human, the intellectual IS Reddington. He’s simply playing himself. Beautiful and never boring.
He was great in Boston Legal as he was mostly playing himself, too. ;-)

“Where we’re always headed...the end of the segment.” I love how meta that got.
James Spader is such an interesting dude. I always hear a new story when I watch his interviews.
I could listen to him telling stories all day long, he's the best
I ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ James Spader😊
He’s the best!!!
I'm not sure why they didn't have James Spader back his Ultron on Marvel's what if. He has the absolute best demeanor and is immensely talented.
How does Spader "back his Ultron"?
My guess is that he was probably working on Blacklist and just couldn’t fit it in
They probably got a voice actor that cost less than James Spader for one episode!
They offered him Ultron for What If and also for the video game but he turned them down. He works as little as possible, and he focuses all of his work energy he is willing to give to The Blacklist.
@@fade2bellz is he ok?
James spader is the coolest 80s actor...
That, "We have Some Girls...?" quip was brilliant.
@@bartzdim haha thanks for explaining that...
He could recite the alphabet and I would be entranced 🥰
I've always loved James Spader, from the 1970's when he first became well known. Kindred spirits.
He was wonderful in Sex, Lies and Videotape. My favorite actor ever.
I first saw him in The Secretary. Love @ first sight💓
I love love love James spader!!!
Me too. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Can james spader have s show of him just telling stories of his life
This was gold! I'm not saying Seth should go full Craig Ferguson but making the show more tangent-rich is a very good thing. (Craig was the master!)
I just love this guy!
Wujing: *"You should be afraid of the cards in your hands."*
Red: *"They are what they are."*
Need more. Much much more.
❤ James Spader
You know you have a good story when Seth starts laughing like a school girl 😂
James Spader you are one truly amazing and talented man.
Raymond Reddington has to be best roll ever. I think he was born to play Raymond 😎
James spader ❤
Amazing interview. Thank you.
Still have such a crush on this man!
What a great interview!!
I LOVE HIM OMG
HE'S SO FUNNY!
He really is morphing into John Lithgow.
Was going to make a similar comment, both would make delightful dinner guests.
In his character and outside his character he remains the same, very natural, a man who has rhetoric, who is very nice.
I feel like I'm 3 beers down at a family reunion listening to my two most fun and disreputable Uncles tell stories about "When we were your age..."
Sounds awful
ALAN. SHORE.
That is all

2 days in the valley. Spader got a new fan the day I saw movie.

I immediately thought of Seinfeld’s joke, ahah, love how Spader thought it as well
Spader was in an episode of Seinfeld as I recall. I think he worked in an ice cream parlor.

Wouldn´t we all.
Red manages to dismantle his adversary without violence, using anecdotes, metaphors and quotes. He's a genius!
Mexican 'ludes. I remember those days. And when they went from Rorer to Lemmon. Listening to James relate his tales is so much like when Red goes off on a tangent. I'd party with both/either.

Lmao I watched the Seinfeld episode where he makes that pharmacist joke just yesterday (and of course thought about it the second he mentioned it).
that was beautiful.
Oh man, do I miss quaaludes! 😹 Quackers & Krell.
If anything good comes out of this pandemic is the late shows have gotten more creative and more entertaining 😜
Typical brilliance of James Spader. Don’t like small talk and though I can make the small talk entertaining, I must ask….where are we going with this?
I love how he said that his bosses sent him out to buy Quaaludes so nonchalantly 2:48😂😂
Lemmon 714. Ahhh the good old days in high school 😅
He and Robert downy Jr. Started out in a movie with Kim Richards! I wish, I could remember the name of that movie now, it was in the 80s!

Yup Tuff Turf is on Amazon rn

You can tell by his hair they really shaved him bald for S9E1 of the Blacklist.
Spader is still a cutie despite no hair but who cares, man is gorgeous.
He is as good storyteller as Raymond Reddington.
