CNN Interview: 'The Room' - Tommy Wiseau and Greg Sestero pt1

[TheCampqueen]

"I like to watch..." Denny.

[thelineman7]

I think Greg knows how weird and somewhat stupid Tommy is. Just look at how he laughs when Tommy doesn't catch the football. I wonder if Greg is just going along with a joke.

[BobButtins]

It's almost sad how deluded Tommy is. He REALLY thinks he made an awesome movie.

[XcoolzX17]

@BobButtins you cant deny millions talk about his film and quoting lines from the movie

[Slapclassical]

2:52?

Tommy- 3 is a danny if you think about it. Lisa, Mark, Danny

Greg- Yeah, but danny was suppose to leave

Tommy-Yeah but because 2's a crowd. Danny should not see what happened between Lisa and John

Greg- That's a good point

What?!!!!!!!!! First off how did Mark even get in the picture when he wasn't even in that scene and secondly I thought 3 was a crowd. LMAO Tommy Wiseau is something else

[redyulan86]

wait for it... 12:00-12:15

[TopTenMovieLists]

2:15 "Good sport! A-Ald-Ahda- CNN" 

[huofosho]

is tommy wiseau blind? 1:22

[ursie1986]

having watched a few of these Q&As, and aside from the fact he is pretty hot, i actually have maximum respect for greg. assuming, as i am, he is where i think he is mentally.

[BillieMunday]

8:10 - "By the way........."

[BillieMunday]

Is he broken?

[RulerofNZ]

"Gimme 5" *goes for fist bump*

[04jok3r]

It's funny because he actually thinks that The Room is a good film.

[Tubyubber]

oh god... I just started watching the movie, and after 4 minutes which had about 1 minute of dialogue I already felt mentally scarred

[Enoughyoufool]

The Room? it SUCKS BIG TIME!

[mooseboy18]

at 4:51 - It seems to me like you're the EXPERT, Greg!

[QuiverDance]

>Tommy: Giev me fajv

>Proceeds to fist him

What

[GozersApprentice]

Tommy, just make 'The Room 2' dude.

[CuseFan100]

11:03 "I'm scared to even read it!" *covers ears*

LOL WTF? You cover your eyes if you don't want to see something...

[GoldenYoshi1]

Mark: "What is The Room?"

Mark: "It's shit, I tell you. Basically shit."

[MolecularMoonlight]

What is this??? What does football have to do with video games and aliens??? Hmm. Eh, a movie now??? I am lost. PLAY A VIDEO GAME!!! Grrr.....

[moonking192020]

was this real?

[BeAsTm0aD]

detaaairrrohhhh

[E6DeltaGirl]

It looks like Greg was getting pissed off how Tommy kept interrupting him, and every time he let him talk a little he'd be like "You're talking to yourself" Even I was getting annoyed by that, I kept expecting Greg to just get up and walk off.

[LoneBong]

Some day, he actually wanna be 49'eas.

[TheRevanchist9000]

what is wrong with him? did he have a stroke while choking himself while he masturbated in the street? And did he get hit by a truck going 90 MPH in the process? What makes a person like that?

[BrighamHB]

9:27 OK, who else is excited for The Room 3D?

[happywash]

They had more than just pizza on the set. They had half ham and pineapple/half artichoke and pesto, light on the cheese pizza!

[happywash]

@happywash Canadian Bacon

[happywash]

Oh bye, football!

[boricua22292]

This made me super uncomfortable.

[pigobenis]

I used to laugh about The Room, but the more and more I reflect on it as a piece of art- the more I realise that Tommy Wiseau is right. The Room is laiife.

[albertnormandgerard]

loves ho so much? 1:33

[LoftskipSesarsNr8]

11:17 Tommy took an acting class?

[TelohsArt]

The man that put out this movie hates mobile devices

[stalk8r]

"You're talking to yourself, right now, okay."

Tommy, there is a FUCKING CAMERA in front of you. If you took off your sunglasses, you could actually SEE it!! :D

[heatherwright24]

"But please don't hurt each other"...except yourself XD

[F3udF1st]

tommy oizo??

[Kregermeister]

They should have been facing each other closer, Greg looks scared to death of Tommy. In fairness, I would be too.

[Hambokuu]

"Wait a minute but three is okay too"

[FooFighterFix]

He asks blind.

[EhhMari]

Why the sunglasses? Why? So many questions..

[Sustenance21]

I don't even know what to say. My god.

[mikeycanfly]

I really want him to say "But then I took an arrow to the knee."

[JensonsBeard]

Tommy isn't even in the same world as everyone else. 

[michaeljakeman]

How did Tommy make $6m to make this movie?

[janellekelc]

@michaeljakeman He sold leather jackets

[DrBob1991]

@michaeljakeman By selling imported leather jackets from North Korea.

[OpenMyCrisps]

The Room is a relationships

[Llfestock]

Hey, that's life.

[Colonelmcscurvy]

Greg knows the movie sucks ass I think he's bluffing to not hurt Tommy's feelings.

[bigboppa8]

Greg... really? You should be ashamed of yourself.

[MaeveMeena]

The room is so terrible that the experience of watching it is incredibly profound. You have to think about what meaning is if you know that it appears to be entirely absent.

[tennis3232]

this guy changes his story every time

[Rycon182]

is this the same video they used for the space ghost thing?

[Matasoga]

@Rycon182 I didn't see that, but I'm pretty sure that this wasn't on CNN.

[CommanderMT101]

If he's so good at football, why was it that all he did in the room was pass it back and forth???

[DrunkenMonkeyQangas]

XD at 1:25 

[thelexus]

The sheer extent of this man's bullshiting skills are fucking EPIC!

[mysfarbror]

so the guy to the left is tommy's carer?

[vernonator6497]

You have to be detail oriented? What about the breast cancer line??

[elitestar]

tommy wiseau is the most genius troll in the entire world!

[earthgirlsareasy]

wtf the room in 3D

[falloutmadman]

the guy who plays mark seem awkward and misrable when he is being interviewed with tommy wisue

[OverrulerEn]

"give me five" doesn't mean fist bump

[katinkers]

there were 8000 other actors willing to do this, and these were the best they could get?

[imagineerboi]

I can't wait until TW dies and an actor will play an oscar winning performance as him in heavy prosthetics in the future.

[hiphoponeworld]

This is the funniest video on Youtube. He actually says LIVA at 01:35

[gregbanasik]

only tommy can swing sunglasses like that in an interview

[Jennyfisch]

Tommy Wiseau is the most awkward person in the world.

[looseheadtom]

HAHAHAHA "as you know graegg"

[sschadd]

Oh Tommy...."He wanna be 49ers"....what in God's name is he talking about?? He just rambles and rambles and he might as well be saying "Blub blub."

[MrDan2593]

He didn't answer a single question

[TempusTransit]

"Sometimes we not on the same page, but you know what, someday we will be!"

[apersonthatisnotyou]

 lifes hardest question - can we throw the football three feet away?

[rugbystud106]

apparently 2 is a crowd....

[onemidnightgone]

".. because he loves Leela so much."

FUTURAMA AND THE ROOM EXIST IN THE SAME UNIVERSE.

[dekio]

I hope aliens accidentally intercept a Tommy Wiseau interview as well as The Room, and decide to use them to understand humanity before making first contact. That would be fun.

[dknight7]

1:25, Tommy acts blind, between staring to big black glasses to missing the football haha

[bnzo00]

2:58 "Thats a good point."

"hahaha..."

thx man, wasted another soda on my monitor.

[peenalinalanal]

LOL the pass at 1:25 made me crack up SOO hard!

[majestyy2k]

@peenalinalanal you see his face after he tosses it? LMAO



[AntiYourFacePhD]

4:45 - Obviously edited awkward silence.

[terminator9990]

The room is a relationships...

[EttGlasVatten]

12:15

Tommy Wisaeu: We got problems with the Fire Marchall! Did you know about that?

Greg Sestero: I was.. I was there...

[EttGlasVatten]

"Ha-ha-ha..." is evidently a natural respons in Tommy's world! 02:59

[DDWade23]

The Room in 3D..... It will tear your brain apart!

[theempyrealwordsmith]

4:29 - It was...an *original* experience. Way to use your words carefully, Sestero.

[Relleq]

1:25...Greg, I think you're question has just been answered.

[MatthewPlowman]

3:13 they don't onderSHTAND

[ilovesteves]

Tommy Wiseau must take drugs...

[openpine]

lemme straight on you right now. iss... it is novel arready. da bewk been written way prior shooting the room. Tommy, so well spoken, you are so eloquent

LOL

[RobertRayawordup]

Tommy is epically delusional haha. Its kind of sad. But you can tell that he is a complete control freak. He never even lets Greg complete a full question, really. I bet working with him on set was frustrating.

[musicsmc]

tommy just bullshitted this whole interview. lmao.

[paj0040]

9:13 Give me five

*fist bump*

[starstuff89]

lol @3:01

[CraigBarduk]

@floooble3 LOL

[RobertRayawordup]

What the fuck? Was this actually on CNN?

[MaterialPigeon]

SESTOSTERONE!!!

[SunnyStraw]

LOL. You can just see Greg getting less and less interested as the interview goes on. I can't blame him. Tommy just interrupts him at every turn and is constantly saying that Greg is spending too much time talking about him.

I think Greg should have punched him. It probably would have saved us the inevitable alien invasion by Tommy's people.

[macduckable]

The Room: The Book. There is a God! Amazing!

[floooble3]

11:20 "you're talking to yourself right now but that's ok" o.o

[woodenwingz]

"Give me five" *fistbumps*

[touchingmeok]

I don't think Tommy has any idea wtf he's talking about...

[PompamooseMagique]

@touchingmeok I don't think Tommy knows where he is 24/7

[floooble3]

IT IS NOVEL ALREADY. THE BOOK WRITTEN WAY PRIOR SHOOTING THE ROOM.

[uke52]

plees don't hurt eachovur

[critThreat]

He looks blind.

[PrimericanIdol]

Tommy reminds me of Gaddafi's interview when he's all like "Zey Luv mee, Zey Luv me all! Zey will fight to protect mee and mahh pee-pull"

[tMCBF2]

he loves liver so much

[dance2noise002]

THey don't UNderSCHTANDD!!

[NostalgicProcrast]

mahahaha

[profbucko]

ahahaha you so funny

[annavoig19]

1:24 -- 1:31

[JerryTheMessiah]

...etsetrraaa...

[Mikerulez101]

I bet you a hundred bucks that Tommy had no idea that he was being filmed.

[JerkbagProductions]

Word on the street is that the room is you and me and everyone in America.

[fingerprint211b]

@JerkbagProductions I'm not in America, does that mean that I'm not the room?

[JerkbagProductions]

@fingerprint211b According to Tommy, you're not. However, in the context of Tommy's powerful metaphor, I propose that everyone who isn't in America is like a great global Denny; you can stop by The Room anytime you like, and you can admire America's future wife in her red dress. Just make sure you don't buy drugs from Chris R (who, in the context of the metaphor, is probably, like, the U.N. or something).

[terminator9990]

@fingerprint211b Yes it does. You are the "you" in you and me. 

[Chebmeh]

THE ROOM IS A RELATIONSHIPS!

[Jelboo]

Isn't it kind of sad that he wanted to make a very serious, deep movie and is now resorted to pretending that he meant to make a crappy movie?

[alexfierroclarke]

"thank you greg, give me five.." *fist bumps*

[NeonDCL]

When was this?

[bopp9]

There is not room in Hollywood for Tommy Wiseau, there´s room in Tommy Wiseau for Hollywood.

[TheLiquidusnake]

Hey! anyone up for a game of throwing a football to each other in our tuxedos? XD

[ulrich5000]

Oh hai Mark! :D

[flashportalnet]

"AWFANKUGREAG"

[gegan113]

11:03, Tommy: "I'm scared to even read it" (covers ears)

I'm honestly at a loss for words

[fingerprint211b]

@gegan113 Tommy likes to have all his text read by Microsoft Sam, that's why he covers his ears instinctively. That is also why he kinda sounds like a broken version of Microsoft Sam.

[ssJotaku]

"Well, I'm glad you enjoyed it." ..amongst other things.

Tommy.. what a guy.. his mannerism and accent. He's the first alien that was spotted coming to earth!! People don't realise that and someday they will.

[westben2000]

man i wish i was friends with these guys, it would be awesome

[HurtfulHumor]

What planet is Tommy from? I can't seem to place that accent...

[Kowbrainz]

Greg looks so damn uncomfortable in these interviews :|

[WarpedButNot]

Mummy I'm scared.

[lulzman6]

Why are these two friends? Doesn't Greg have anyone else he can hang out with?

[fingerprint211b]

@lulzman6 Wouldn't you be friends with Tommy?

[Charmolution]

@fingerprint211b

I prefer to be friends with human beings.

[hellokitty92691]

@Charmolution "humans beans"

[Charmolution]

@hellokitty92691

My mistake.

[searching4circlesend]

It seems like this a split screen and Tommy and Greg aren't really sitting next to each other, but rather they were recorded individually. Why would they do this? I've learned to quit asking questions when it comes to this movie.

[PrettymanX]

@searching4circlesend

It is weird that they did the interview side-to-side, but at 1:17, you can see that it isn't a splitscreen when Tommy grabs at the football.

[amatewatson]

he took acting classes??? what was he like before? :P can't WAIT for 3d the room...

[HAADOOKEN]

Seems to me your talking about your shelf right naow! 4:53

[Xerxaden]

It's great how many times Greg laughs

[cyberwetter]

at 1:35 did he say liva instead of lisa?

[Medalion]

The Room is about heh heh

[cnote6923]

I don't get it. Is Tommy a real person or just a Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job character?

[calumjlindsay]

@cnote6923 ooh, spagett!

[JackMalca]

claudette disliked this video..

[jazzygeofferz]

Sitting there in his sunglasses? Totally missing that pass from Greg? Has Tommy Wiseau gone blind or something?

[Clutnuckle]

I plan to now pronounce 'understand' the same way that Wiseau does at 3:12

[BeyondLame]

im wondering if this guy really thinks his movie is a masterpiece

[Brokensteel1228]

9:58 REPEAT 10 TIMES

[bewaretheconficker]

Lol at Tommy missing the pass at 1:25

[SwingJugend]

@bewaretheconficker Greg was two feet too close.

[GuitarHeroPhenomSux]

@bewaretheconficker, He didn't even flinch. I wouldn't be surprised if he perceived the world completely different than we do.

[ThatWasFred]

4:12 Mark already ordered a pizza! You think about everything!

[EmLeeful]

Greg Sestero is a great actor...I mean I could not take Tommy Wiseau seriously...oh yeah and great catch qb

[pinkorpurple432]

omg

[Krystle369]

so.... was Greg a line producer by any chance? LMAo

[cerberus4023]

" 'The Room' is about life."

[2GunPistolMan]

The Room is coming out in 3D? HAS THERE EVER BEEN A PIECE OF NEWS BETTER THAN THIS IN THE HISTORY OF REALITY? I think not!
