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. ❤

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.

This year seems to be one of the best for Jessica and she deserves all the awards.

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 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.

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!
