Connor sitting in the corner... neglected. Perfect.
😂😂😂😂 hahahaha
He never breaks character lol
And Kendall's not even invited. Perfect
@@abdulbasit9435 maybe kendall didn't prefer to come?
Conheads are triggered.
Connor Roy was interested in politics from a very young age
The conheads are going to love this!
to which I might add: Connor Roy was interested in politics from a very young age
hahahah
@@shraddhat5163 to which I might also add Connor was interested in politics from a very young age.
😹😹😹
Love watching Connor sitting alone and thinking about politics. Did you know he has been interested in politics from a very young age?
Lol 🤣🤣🤣
I AM the eldest child
Napoleon would be proud
@@musakhan9719 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Greg: “He never leaves character” Roman: “Neither do you” 😂😂😂 They are literally their characters
That would totally explain why Kendall is not here as hes currently running rougue from Waystar Royco
@@jasonlee148 He's looking for his kids
@@jasonlee148Or on a coke bender somewhere
You can't make a tomlette without breaking some greggs
That line in context was probably the funniest thing on the show, I died.
@@JeffreyGillespie dare I say the most perfect line in tv history?
@@JeffreyGillespie the funniest line to me is "you swallowed your own load"....i weeped for hours after watching that scene my belly hurt for days looooool
I see this comment on everything that has to do w/ Succession & it makes me laugh everytime!
fewer.
Kieran and Nic are basically playing themselves it seems. 🤣
Check out Nic’s previous appearance during S1. You’re not at all wrong.
They all are
If it is to be said
Stephen: "Who is Tom's true partner?" Tom: *"I'm not gonna say who...but it's Greg."*
The way both Sarah and Nic surrounded him at the same moment 🤣🤣
Heehee
gosh, did you watch last night's episode? i was gagging, freaking nero and sporus
I haven't finished season 3 yet but part of me is hoping Tom ravages Greg at some point. Doo iiiit.
Final ep Yeppoon he chose greg
God, Kieran's so allergic to compliments he must be secretly British.
@callmecatalyst That isn't just the 'culkin effect', he was trying to escape that sofa. 😁
he must have imposter syndrome.
I have a hard time accepting compliments. It's strange. I believe what they are saying but...I just don't think I'm worthy of talking about it. I'm just modest and as Kieran likes to say...lets move on! lol
@@michaelunderhill8847 It really does.
@@michaelunderhill8847 What a heap of absolute drivel. As empty, yet puffed up with imagined-grievance-resentment as any snp pronouncement. And because the British Isles is, more fundamentally.......THE ACTUAL LAND.....then it does not change things for your imagined 'indy Scootland'. You vaccuous, myopic nationalist.
Kieran Culkin is Hollywood's gift to comedy .
I think it's time for a Terminator movie with him as John Connor
I feel like Kieran Culkin and Elizabeth Olson have such similar origin stories that they should be bets friends.
@@lisazdvoru1660 How do you know they gamble
Uh please shut up
Lol, I literally watch the show just to see what Kieran will do next. He's the best. On the opposite side of the spectrum, I can't stand Sarah Snook. She's like a failed improve actor. Guess I hate watch the show because of her.
I’ve watched a few of these cast reunion things and they never seem to include Alan Ruck in the conversations, which is a shame. I know his character has a smaller presence than others but Connor is such a unique role and his portrayal is quite delightful
Connor is such a great character too. I love every scene he's in
In this one, it really doesn’t help the way they have the sofas positioned. Nic Braun has to lean forward and unintentionally blocking Ruck from the sight of Colbert. Not that it should matter!
I was hoping Colbert would ask Alan Ruck a question.
Connor is very interesting. Did you know he was interested in politics from a young age?
Yes yes I love Conner and there is so much more to be explored!
Greg is that one dude who is not integral to the script but makes the show have the special quality everyone loves.
Tom is my favorite, personally.
this show is arrested development (but w the tone of "the thick of it") and he is george Michael
@@kinjalkadakia6933 haha great analogy
kinda true, it was important that he was tasked with destroying the papers and yet decided to keep some
Just wait until S3...
6:22 I like the very dad-like gesture of Brian Cox tapping Kieran and telling him that it's actually a compliment 🤣
It was so wholesome 😄❤
Succession is one of the greatest TV shows ever. It’s masterfully written and the performances are amazing. Love the fact that after every season it juts keeps getting better, great work you guys.
Honestly. I started watching it a week ago. I’m already halfway into season 3. It’s fucking amazing. Everything. Adam McKay and will Ferrell definitely give it amazing direction.
@@renehinojosa1962 it takes an obsessed fan to rave about their favorite show under other show's comment sections. I'm the same way about succession, it's always sunny in philadelphia and arrested development. im going to watch The Patriot at you suggested. thanks for the recommendation!
@@jackieburkhart3268 you bet! I loved Succession but Patriot also had some very funny, odd dark moments.
Hands down this show is unapologetically irrerevernt, witty, smart and simply damn good. I'm not worthy of such good writing. Will Ferrell is producing this show in case you recognize Gregg's humor.
@@johnnykeon4875 My son suggested it and I binged it straight..I love this show.....it's so elegant thrilling and funny and heartbreaking ... perfect
I never noticed how great Sarah's laugh is, because no one ever laughs in the show!!! 😅
Tom's laugh is my favorite 😂 (when he talks to Grag)
When Brian is discussing who is Logan's favourite child and at 5:12 Matthew chimes in with "What about the son-in-law?" It hits different now.
yeap yeap.....team TOM
Doesn't even feel like an interview, like a scene from the show where the Roys are doing a performance review on a later night show they owned.
I guess I can see why this is my favorite show ever now…the cast chemistry is absolutely unmatched it’s as if I’m watching an episode during this interview
"It's Greg." Stephen Colbert is all of us.
Stephen: "Who is Tom's real partner?" Matthew: *immediately looks at Nicholas*
nicholas braun is a riot lol
Bridge4 I literally just came from your channel!!! this is so weird 😂
This is one of the best TV shows made in a very long time. Every character is so riveting. Expertly written. Must say though Roman is spoilt with some of the best lines.
I totally agree, especially about Romulus' lines. They are GOLD!! 🥇
@@intraum you have a type, huh?
"Shut up!! Leave me alone!!" 😂😂 Kieran is going to have a great career after this series ends.
I feel like while it may be true that Logan loves his children, his favorite child most likely switches between the four depending on how they can better serve his current plans or needs.
this
duh
True but I kinda agree with Brian because Shiv is the one Logan abuses the least (the bar is in hell with his parenting) he emotionally manipulates her but seems to have a genuine affection to her that he does not have with his sons. I think it's Roman that says early on how Shiv is like daddy's favorite and Logan even calls her pinkie which is as tender as Logan can get, he said he regrets spoiling her and you can tell that's why she turned out entitled, expecting to be the chosen one because she's good and "the favorite child". Logan has no problems verbally and physically abusing Kendall and Roman but not Shiv, in fact when he gets mad at Shiv he hits Roman instead because while he is awful he is not awful enough to hit a woman especially not his youngest daughter, so he takes it out on Roman. The worst he ever insulted Shiv was calling her a coward and mocking her in the season finale which compared to what Roman and Kendall have to endure from him that's nothing. Connor is smart not too get too involved with him and I guess he had a better mother than Caroline since he is the most normal of the bunch.
@@kira-zk6op Adding to this I could see Connor get low regard just for being so generally unfocused. I don’t see Logan being proud of Connor or his accomplishments in any way. At his best he’s doing things (like hosting the Sad Sack Wasp Trap) for Logan’s approval. I could definitely see Shiv being the favourite, though part of me also leans toward Roman. I feel like Logan can constantly see the potential in Roman even when he thinks Roman doesn’t see it in himself, and it’s Roman failing to meet that potential that elicits the sternest rebukes from Logan.
6:52 That moment was just absolute gold. I wouldn't be able to get a single word out of my mouth in front of Brian Cox because I would be too busy being terrified.
Fascinating show - even though all characters are horrible, mean, narcissistic human beings - you can’t help but watch.
I wouldnt say greg is mean
He’ll be more of a scumbag by the end of the show. Has already become a lot worse as the show has gone on
@@chrismiller1144 I think Greg is young bill, like greg grows into the guy bill was who everyone just liked.
Michael Muldowney, yep. Welcome to real life huh ?😒
@@jacobrichardson4114 I’m rewatching now, I binged last time so my memory may be off but I thought Greg was awful when he was trying to ladder climb with those women in season 3. Like he seems to me like the kind of person who only isn’t mean because they have 0 power and are cowardly. As soon as he has any ability at all to lie or cheat (including his constant fence sitting in every single situation) he does. I almost guarantee he would be just as bad as any of them if he actually had means. But I guess we’ll see in season 4.
Yes, I'm here for the charming Matthew Macfadyen
same haha
Swooning over here
He’s so pretty
!!
Matthew Deserves an Emmy,
Matthew deserves the world to be honest.
Yes,he deserves...
Yes I do!!
He acted very well and I'm so pissed with Tom!
Watched the finale, he should win an Emmy for that.
I cannot express with words how much I love this cast
THE BEST!!!
the fact that after years of working as an actor keiran mastered the art of improvising just by working with them is testament to how incredibly talented this cast is. and now he is phenomenal!
When Sarah compliments Kieran and he swears, Brian pokes him lool
Succession is the most unhinged thing I've ever watched. I'm so addicted
kieran is so bad at taking complements he's just like me
me too
Same ;/
Best show in a very long time. These actors still appear like their characters to me, and the way they laugh, speak, talk to each other, hold their gestures, their tone and volume when they speak are EXACTLY like how they were in the show. This is basically another episode of the series. Simply magnifique!
Kieran being so mad at everyone complimenting him is so relatable 😂
I love Greg and Tom's characters, they are so stupid and funny and at the same time so smart 🤣🤣
i love when they were preparing to go to prison. comic gold.
Tom is not stupid at all. Hes a douchebag, a fun douchebag, but not stupid. He will be the successor, mark my words. As Nero was.
@@castronator29you were right. I knew it too. The Nero comment confirmed it. Greg is his Sporus.
@@castronator29 for god's sake, how did you know it 😅
I wonder if Kieran ad-lib's his dialogue. He is hilarious. Sarah covers her accent expertly in the show.
I picked up on it right away but had no idea Matthew was hiding one!
@@letsgocows you don’t know Mr DARCY?!?!
I'm so happy that Kieran is finally in a show where he doesn't get killed in the first episode. He's pretty much the same guy as in Igby, but Jeremy Strong is a way better foil than Ryan Phillipe
Jeremy Strong can Act circles around Ryan Phillipe and that’s an understatement. I agree with you sentiment 100%. Kieran finally has the writing and fellow cast mates that can go toe to toe with him and elevate his game.
I was so excited to see him in Fargo season 2 (this was before I saw Succession) and super disappointed when he was gone episode 1. He brings serious youngest brother energy into his roles, which is funny because he’s both the middle child in Succession (I watched the whole series before figuring out Shiv is supposed to be younger) and in real life.
THE WAY BOTH sarah and nicholas immediately turned around when matt was asked who is tom’s real partner lmfao
Matthew Macfadyen is outstanding in succession
Kendall not being there is very fitting. He couldn't even bear to be around Shiv even after the filming because of that huge betrayal 😂
This is from 2021 lol
It's funny how fast Brian Cox says "No" when asked if Kendall is Logan's favorite kid.
2:13 Sarah's face and that little smile when Matthew says he couldn't choose between Shiv and Greg. Well, they all know Tom's choice at the end of season 3.
One hell of cast. When HBO wants to be good, they're good.
Matthew is such a brilliant,superb actor and so gorgeous...
There's definitely something extra between Logan and Shiv. He was first thrilled that she accepted (in secret) taking over as CEO after him, but ever since it appears as if he has regrets about their arrangement and tries to facilitate somehow Shiv walking away, without openly stating that their deal is dead.
Logan's favourite child is "WayStar Royco", even more so than Shiv.
Logan is a typical NPD, ASPD, Sociopath. He was fine with Shiv having it so long as it was all on his terms. She got too eager and intrusive, and tried to assume power, and he took all the power back and shut her down. She did need to learn her place, so some of his pullback was legit. Meanwhile, Kenny was a traumatized CPTSD cyborg who was Logan’s lapdog, which is what he wanted. Kenny then moved up in Logan’s eyes. [Even despite his horrid rap and the idiot actress he dated.]
I have a theory that Logan's sister who passed away young, Rose, was a redhead like Shiv. So he probably loves her a little bit extra because she reminds him of the sister that 'he couldnt save'. The only nice thing the audience ever sees Logan's brother say to him is that his sister's death wasn't his fault, so we can clearly infer he felt guilt for her passing for a long time. Likely wants to protect Shiv unlike his boys because of that.
@@maddudehahaha And she’s his daughter so he’s protective of her in a way he wouldn’t be with his sons.
i can see he has some endearment for her that does not extend to the others, maybe cause she's the "dad's little girl" (at least as much as it is possible for her to be that for someone as emotionally disabled and distant as logan) or/and, like mentioned in a comment above, she reminds him of his sister. but i do not believe he was ever really follow through w their agreement. i think he always knew he was going to trick her.
Matthew is looking handsome 😍
@Vap Pri please explain this link choice because this feels like absurdist comedy
he truly does, doesn't he?
“Let the boy watch” that was an underappreciated line
Eastbound and Down fan
Man, Nicholas Braun’s Eastbound and Down reference really went unnoticed.
I was afraid I was the only one. Love Nicholas Braun even more now!
Still a HBO® Original: Ain't outlying enough.
Which second?
@@barbarachristine620 About 1:05
Let him watch what is being consecrated here.
“you think kendall, maybe?” “NO!”
🤣🤣😂😂the Way Brain Scolded Kiernan was soooo perfect !!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The dynamic between these casts is adorable.
lmao Conner looks like Jamie Lee Curtis
Yoooooo 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😆
💀
the way I see it lol
It’s their accents in real life that gets me
Kieran is absolutely phenomenal in this series, the shit he comes up with makes this series rock.
Shout out to Nicholas Braun for slipping in Will Ferrell’s hilarious quote from eastbound and down “Let the boy watch”
Kieran is literally a master piece of his craft. Not surprised though, his brother is amazing too!
The way Brian yells at Kieran in the end😂😂😂 too good
I love that these guys feel like an actual family, they really struggle with answering these questions haha
such a fun and talented cast, i’m surprised their interviews don’t get more views
this vid had a lot less than 1 mil views when i commented this i think
Doesn’t help that there’s a total buzzkill interviewing them
6:52 God I love Brian’s “shut the fuck up” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💯 the way he curses is so satisfying to hear lmao
6:52 I think Brian and Kieran just got shocked back into character
Did Brian forget about his two younger children? 😄 And apparently a snippet of the "who's Tom's real partner?" conversation was cut -- Matthew mentions that Tom, Greg, and Shiv are rarely in a scene together (Sarah goes "that's funny, hmmm..."), and Nicholas says that Tom "keeps the side-piece away" from the wife. 😂 I'm guessing HBO asked them to cut that part out!
Mathew macfadyen has an angelic voice
Not laughed this much in a long time lol. Greg dude is a good comedian lol even in real life. 😂😂😂😂
I can confirm that us Conheads love this.
I'm so impressed with Kieran Culkin. His portrayal of Roman is masterful.
Omg 01:05 when Nick said 'let the boys watch' i nearly fucking shat my dacks. He's referencing a line from the East Bound and Down BLOOPER reel. That is one tasty, niche little treat.
It's funny to see this is Kieran. The only other time I caught an interview of him was with Conan and he was the sweetest, most humble and even sometimes shy guy, which shows me that as he said in that interview, he absolutely adores Conan. Amazing.
That's how Kieran was in person when I met him years ago.
This is absolutely one of the best celeb interviews ever!! Such a fun drama show and incredible performance!
Brian Cox is the best actor of the lot. His acting in this series reminds me a lot of Robert De Niro
He was the first actor to play Hannibal Lechter, and he was terrifying. Anthony Hopkins came off as prim, not meticulous as Thomas Harris wrote him.
@@garyonbroadway1919 oh never knew. Its a shame I came to know about Brian Cox only thru this series.
@@thiruvetti Rushmore, The Long Kiss Goodnight, Red, as Helen Mirren's lover. (all fun)
That’s actually a good observation
Brian Cox is one of the greatest actors, ever.
That was definitely a Eastbound and Down reference, "let the boy watch!"
After 2:18 when Sarah laughs at what is being said, Gosh... Her laugh is infectious lol I cracked up seeing her laugh at the comment and Nic's (Greg's) awkward expression, Godddd, PERFECTION Lol. This show is just too good!! ❤️❤️
So many time when a character clicks or becomes iconic, people tend to appreciate the actors more than the casting and writing people. Most times the game is won when writers know what that character is and who fits it.
I love how they're all close in real life. I'm so obsessed with this show and this cast!!
They love interacting with each other. You can see it. They crack each other up.
I wish all the success to this show and the people that make it real. Beautiful. Thanks to all the crew.
The fact that Tom is british and I am barely realizing proves he deserves an Emmy
Prude and Prejudice!! You have to watch it!
I really worry about Kieran Culkin. Every time I see him the actor I wonder where Roman finishes or if he's totally absorbed Kieran completely and utterly.
he seems to be very comfortable playing roman. i guess they have the same vibe
I think culkin’s character is so unfiltered perhaps he feels so empowered by that where is spills over to his real self. I kind of get it.
brian's answer to the favorite kid question is so perfect, "if it HAD to be"
That was really great insight into Greg & shows how hard this really is as Greg appears to be bad acting but in fact is great acting. Succession is the best TV show ever made.
Do people say Greg’s acting is bad? The character’s got so much personality, not just in his lines themselves but in the way they’re delivered and his physical mannerisms, I can’t imagine anyone having any complaints about Nicholas Braun.
@@geneparmesan8748Greg is perfect acting. Maybe because the character has to awkwardly put on an act for characters on the show that someone wouldn't get it.
Best show ever! ! Beautiful stunning cast!!! The music of Nicolas Britell is just genius! Thank you guys to doing this show!!! 😊
In reality, Alan Ruck has the best humor out of all of them.
They’re all such funny and brilliant actors. I love Succession and can’t wait for more.
Charisma that shiv carries in succession is a treat to watch she looks the same in real life too😍
what a comedy show from the most serious characters....loved every second of it
I think Stephen knows how lucky he was/is to have this cast on.
This show is amazing, such good writing and acting
A gem. This show is a GEM.
Shiv sometimes looks like a real vampire
Great seeing a happy family enjoying in a talk show
I frickin’ love this show, the cast are just 😍
Sarah, Brian and J: *compliments Kieron viciously* Kieron: Oh shut up Thanks for the shout out to us in the can't accept a compliment community!
I'd only seen Brian Cox before in other things. I had no idea who the other actors were so had no pre conceptions about their roles etc. I think that made the show even more superb as I only see these actors in their Succession characters on the show.
I truly love them all.. ❤ acting was 10/10 all the time. I just ended the show and I feel empty 💔
Missed oportunity for Sarah to say: "Dad, you can say it's me" as in this Pierce family big dinner scene.
Mm cudowny, niepowtarzalna okazja słuchać jego głosu
they really are like siblings in this interview its so cute😭😭
Kieran could be the next joker, his voice, his acting are just perfect. He would crush the role.
This actually feels this is a succession show lool. You can still sense the awkwardness and competitiveness
Greg and Tom are the gift that keeps giving! love them!
