Late Night with Seth Meyers
/ latenightseth
She not only an Oscar, Tony and Emmy winner. She’s an icon and legend herself, literally
And Golden Globe
This segment showcases Seth’s interview skills. Lange is not used to the late night show experience and she seems very shy. Seth was respectful and gracious and helped this fine actress through this experience in a way that acknowledged not only Lange’s stature, but also how to have some fun. Saw Lange in Long Day- fabulous-and in a theatre ladies’s room of a play she was attending. She’s beautiful and talented. ❤
And also he's really charming. Great interview.
Grey Gardens with Drew Barrymore was fantastic! JL is a gem.
??? But she has been a famous actress for so long im sure she's been to many to these late night shows
She is very accustomed to late night shows.
She's been a favorite to me favorite since the postman always rings twice.
She was most excellent in Feud, Bette and Joan.
I am flying from Paris to New York to see miss Lange on stage on April 20th which is Jessica’s birthday !!!! Can’t wait !!!!
Ok, I am going to leave a dumb comment here. But I'm also super stoked for vos expéperience dans le vingt d'avril.
4-20 durr hurr hurr.
Again, desole. But I had too.
Take me
Enjoy the show today!!!
How was it?
She just exudes something that modern actors do not. It's from growing up in a different era, for one. But she probably always had this glow on her own.
Check out Ruth Wilson. She has this same sort of dignity to her, a classy demeanor.
Growing up in Northern Minnesota may have had something to do with it. Salt of the earth people. She still considers it home.
It's actually the opposite, she always looks and sounds modern and contemporary. Humble and thoughtful, but absolutely relevant.
Woman is a LEGEND! Appreciate her and her body of work so much.
🌈 Back in the day she was dissed by the critics for having no talent when she did King Kong which was her first feature film. She is a legenend & I Luv her in AHS. She has the charm & allure of old Hollywood ❣
There’s an air about this woman where I just get drawn right in. Such am incredible force on screen and completely mesmerising off screen
She is the embodiment of Charm. She has a way of opening & widening the hearts of those she interacts with. I enjoyed sensing Seth’s heart expanding. This is a beautiful interview. Nothing but love for Jessica!
Charm! Oh my gosh, that's the exact word! :-)
Seth is such a better interviewer than Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel. He has an ease that I think helps make the guests comfortable. He also manages the flow of conversation much better and doesn’t constantly interrupt them.
Completely agree about Seths interview skills. He's also unique as a talk show host who is very knowledgeable and passionate about the craft of acting. He seems genuinely interested when talking to any guest and not just making sure to hit promotional beats.
What Jimmy F does is not interviewing. Jimmy K does bad interviewing. Seth comes from a more informed place and of course, is an experienced improviser. ❤
Jimmy Fallon is a character. Seth Meyers is more stand up.
He's the improviser master@@janethope

Mrs. Lange’s legacy is intact watching her body of work has been a great experience.Great actor.
She's beautiful and humble.
Great interview! Thank you to the Seth Meyers show for giving us a moment of conversation with Jessica Lange!
That is so sweet how Seth walked out to greet her.
Love Jessica Lange!
She looks a bit frail and needed assistance. She was clinging to his arm. Also those heels must be hard to walk in at her age (they would be hard to walk in at any age).
She had been in a wheelchair recently due to a break - leg, ankle, I’m not sure.
@@randywolfinger1496 Oh...
@@cat_623 Right? I don't wear them.
Super envious of anyone having the privilege to see Jessica Lange in this play.
It was great!
LOVE LOVE HER!... her voice, her mannerisms, her wit and intelligence...
She’s so kind and sweet
She's not a 'difficult interview' but verry timid/shy. Clearly, she truly likes Seth on a personal level because she's super relaxed & warm here (verbal & non verbal). Absolute class act, warm, gracious etc...and you'd NEVER know how massively successful her career has been award wise. She's UP there with Meryl!
they are close friends too. you should search up meryl praising jessica's peformance in the movie sweet dreams
This woman was born to act. Much respect.
Jessica was comfortable and in her element. Seth is one hell of an interviewer and host. This is finely done.
Jessica Lange is an American treasure and such a talented and extraordinary actor and classy woman. So nice to see her on your show.
Miss Lange is incredible!!! And great questions from Seth! What a great interviewer!
As always, love Jessica Lange.
Jessica Lange - the gift that keeps on giving. So good seeing her back in the acting business and better than ever ❤
she seems so nice to be around. a queen ❤️❤️❤️
What a treat. Ms Lange is so comical. Beautiful hair and great conversation... 🦋
The lady is a genuine living legend. My hat is off, dear Jessica. ✌️
I’m so happy he brought up KING KONG.😃 Other than one time, it’s not a film I ever hear her talk about. I LOVED that movie as a child. She had me crying my eyes out at the end with “Don’t put me down! Don’t put me down!” And then when she was screaming at them as they were shooting him!💔
It was such a joy to see her talk about the movie here.😊 This was WONDERFUL!
I think over time Jessica can laugh about it now. Some interviewers would mention it as a joke at her expense.
Love Jessica Lange so much! Always in awe of her grace, beauty, and skill!!
Jessica Lange is my favorite actress, and one of my favorite persons ever. I can´t even describe how much I adore this woman and she never stops to amaze me. I can`t wait to see the film version of long day's journey into night into the night and i hope she gets a Tony for Mother play, an Emmy for Feud: Cappote VS the Swans and an Oscar for long day's journey into night. This year seems to be one of the best for Jessica and she deserves all the awards. She is brilliant!!! and not only that, she is also one of the MOST GORGEOUS WOMEN I HAVE EVER SEEN!! her beauty is ageless!!
seth has a great way of interacting and conversing with his guests. it ends up feeling like i’m listening to two people having a very funny and interesting conversation, instead of other hosts who tend to ignore what the guest just said and move onto the next scripted question. he embodied what a good host should be doing, not just asking questions but listening and responding. he gets people to reveal interesting things that you don’t get from other interviews
From new fresh face to veteran of screen, TV, and stage over 40+ years. Total legend. I loved her as Patsy Cline in Sweet Dreams :D
Sweet dreams is one of my favourite Movies ever! That’s from a 30 year old from Scotland ♥️😄you should watch her in Rob Roy from 1995 x
@@Dangdrangus I’ve actually never seen that, even though I’m also a Liam Neeson fan. Will look for it - Thanks!
The supreme ❤
We love jessica lange
I love her to pieces!! She's the greatest living actress and she's even more wonderful as a human being! You can't help but adore her 🥰
Jessica Lange has always been my fave! She is brilliant!
Sweet Dreams is my favorite movie of hers. Love this lady.
@donna8243 … That was a brilliant portrayal as Patsy. A favorite of mine, too, along with Blue Sky, Crimes of the Heart, Frances, The Postman Always Rings Twice, Cousin Bette, Men Don’t Leave … whull, you get the picture. 😄
I saw Mother Play last weekend, beyond!! Incredible performances, story is great and relatable, and Jessica is well, phenomenal. If you see it, which you should, you will be amazed by Jessica’s long scene alone. It is magnificent.
Paula Vogel is a fantastic playwright.
She is enchanting
MY FAVORITE ALL TIME ACTRESS!!!!! 😊I’ve loved her since Frances 😊
I've loved her since King Kong!
I was very young for KingKong, but loved it, but maybe more the gorilla more than her. Bawled at that ending.
But loved her in Frances. Amazing performance. Watched it several times as a teen. And few times since.
I haven’t seen AHS, not really my thing, but generally see anything she’s in.
Such a beauty and great presence.
me too!
Me too!!!! My #1 Favorite Actress
She is a gift. My favorite actor.
JASSICA LANGE IS AN ICON AND VERY UNDERRATED, SHE'S AMAZING!!❤❤❤❤
i do not think she is underrated. she is well respected in her community and by the public. one of our greatest living actresses. too bad i am across the pond, I would have loved to see har in a play
she's one of the best ever.
What a beauty, so lovely ❤
My love for Jessica Lange keeps growing. ❤
Beautiful Jessica. So proud she is from my home state of Minnesota.
She's created her own legacy . What an amazing achievement. People thought she would disappear after King Kong but Nope 2 Oscars and a great career thankyouverymuch !
Living legend. She is the queen 👸
She is an icon❤❤❤❤
I love Jessica Lange, truly a brilliant actor!! ❤️✨I would love to see this play, it sounds amazing! And Jim Parsons! Would love to see them act together!
I've been a big fan since King Kong! Got to see her in The Glass Menagerie on Broadway. Glad shes back!
I had the pleasure of seeing Ms. Lange in Long Day and she was unsurprisingly wonderful. She definitely deserved that Tony award. Plus, it had a great cast altogether: Gabriel Byrne, Michael Shannon and John Gallagher Jr. I think they managed to edit it down to 3 h 45 min plus a 15 min intermission, so it came in at exactly 4 hours. I think I was just awestruck at how they did that 8 times a week.
And thanks for talking about King Kong. I think it was the very first thing I ever saw her in. It's hard to believe she was only 27 in that role.
I will never get tired of hearing Lange’s backstory as to how she got casted for King Kong.
Thanks!
My late husband’s absolute favorite actress. She is wonderful. Great interview. 😎❤️
Pure class.
Love Jessica Lange ❤️
The best talk show person and one of best actresses of all time
I still love watching her in the old Kong movie. I won't apologize.
She played the heck out of Patsy Cline.
Avoiding spoiler alert, but her final scene as the plane approaches the mountain, she turns and utters her partner's name.....
Grace personified.
I saw Jessica Lange in King Kong when it was in cinemas at 8 years old. I was absolutely in love with her as an actress and the movie. The most sensual, sensitive performance i'd seen
I agree King Kong probably was my first non child movie back in th 70's.
She is AMAZING!!!
I have grown up loving the work of this great great actress. The great three Lange Streep Rowlands.
Love love love Jessica Lange!!! 🤩😍💖
I love her so much.
what a living legend this human is! Such an amazing talent.
The Supreme.. ❤
I had the great privilege of seeing mother play in preview. There’s no question it is a difficult play for all actors (only three) because as she said it is a “marathon.” If you have the chance, I highly recommend it. It is a hard play for anyone who has had familial trials (who hasn’t) and particularly for queer people like myself. All three do a fantastic job balancing each other. Seeing Jessica’s incredible breakdowns on stage… screaming, crying, emoting, is a gift I will carry forever. It isn’t in production for long, so it’s particularly special. I believe this should truly be mandatory viewing for every parent, especially those of gay children. Stunning work by Paula the playwright and the cast. Forgiveness, understanding and closure are all key in the story of Paula’s life played out on stage.
What a lovely conversation!
My favorite actress! ❤
What a stunning human being❤
I love love love Jessica Lange
Gotta admire her talent, determination and stamina, if I were her pretty sure I would be at home chilling
Omg I could listen and watch this beautiful person all day! She is so interesting ❤
She is definitely one of the best of today or ever, she has that classic star quality, without being full of herself, like many before her or today! And I love that she still looks like herself, instead of going for plastic surgery or a ton of makeup! She is a natural beauty and is still as beautiful today, because she has aged gracefully, but also very well I might add!
she is so lovely
She’s the coolest… and always will be.
Such a phenomenal actress! Definitely had my vote for the Oscar as lead in Frances! Wow what a performance 🏆
oooh Frances, broke my heart . what an actor, I will never forget her performance
@@kathygraham6251 Wasn’t she amazing in that film? Wow
That audience better have given her a standing ovation!!
❤I just love Jessica!! ❤Iconic supertalented moviestar❤love from Finland
Yes! The SUPREME Supreme...absolutely ADORE her!! AHS has NEVER been "right" since her departure (miss her so much!💔) !!!🥰❤😘
How many times did you watch the episodes she was in during Apocalypse? I know I’ve rewatched just her return to the Murder House many, many times. I know she is not from the South but she killed it so hard as Constance that every time I see her in an interview I somehow am surprised that drawl is not what comes out when she speaks.
@@RosieYogi40 I TOTALLY agree!!! Constance is BY FAR my favorite character that Jessica's played on AHS, although I LOVED her as Elsa Mars in Freak Show, too!! Now, I truly couldn't even BEGIN to count how many times I've watched Murder House (i own the whole season on dvd! yes, i'm one of THOSE nerds!🤦🏻♀️😬😉), but to be honest, they were losing me a little bit with Apocalypse(the idea was great, but i feel like it could have been so much better!😒🤐🤫)... I definitely watched it when it was on, but I was a little disappointed in it (her couple of episodes were FANTASTIC, of course, though, imo!😬What did you think?)!🖤✌🏼💙
@@christycarter746 I own seasons 1 and 3! For Apocalypse I tend to rewatch her episodes in specifically or I end up fast forwarding a lot. I did like hotel even though she was not in it. I watched the first 5 seasons religiously but couldn’t get into the vibe with Roanoke or Cult. I tried to stomach the most current season but I can’t stand Kim K. Season 10 was meh but damn I love Macaulay Culkin.
Just saw Mother Play today! It's a 3-person show that is full of talent. Seeing Jessica Lange perform live on stage was a thrill.
Great interview! I wish it was longer. If only they had time to talk about Jessica's performance as Truman Capote's mother in 'Feud.' She was just amazing in that role. Of course, she's always great. She didn’t have a lot of screen time on the show, but when she is, she immediately stills the show from the rest of the incredible cast. Which shows what a great actress she is. In an episode, she would only be on screen for maybe 2 minutes, and she stills the scene. Sometimes, you'll only remember her scenes cause she's so damn good.
Beautiful and a brilliant actress!
A true artist!!
The Supreme.
I absolutely LOVE❤ Jessica Lange. What an Amazing actress. Frances Farmer🎯
She looks astonishing!
She is such a treasure. The Grey Gardens reference is amazing. Great interview!
Blue Sky is such an amazing performance!
Blue Sky! Fantastic film.
❤LOVE❤ that film‼️
INCREDIBLE
What a legend!!
Wow. I saw her in "Long Day's Journey" and I didn't even realize it was 4 hours. Were we really sitting there watching a play for 4 hours?! LOL I didn't feel like it!
I have tix to see "Mother Play" in 2 weeks and I can't wait!
The fabulous Jessica Lange! Applause!
Jessica Lange is an American treasure.
I ❤her! She’s amazing.
Jessica Lange and Meryl Streep are two actors that feel like unicorns to me. Both exude humility, grace and, above all, a level of authenticity that very few actors possess. I would love to have a conversation with either woman, not about acting but about life, the human condition and the world in which we cohabitate.
I loved Jessica Lange in king kong ,she's a beautiful actress !!! 😊👍
ICON, ICON, ICON
Legend
always love her. such elegant lady
She's a legend, and still beautiful. I'm jealous of Seth.
First time I've ever heard her speak of "King Kong", this was great! I wonder if she knows De Laurentis wouldn't even audition Meryl Streep for it (her story on Graham Norton)?
That story is a hoot!
She's an acting class of its own and a treasure of cinema. From "Frances" to "Music Box", to "Cape Fear" to "Feud", she just dominates each scene she's in. Sending love from Iran.
