Letterman - Jim Parsons from "The Big Bang Theory"

[kirkevonphilly]

I like how the band is playing Stone Temple Pilot's "Big Bang Baby"

[gbomhearts]

Hey, I'm in Houston Texas! lol my film teacher is a friend of his! they went to the same school! My teacher is just as strange but funny lol

[odysseus430]

Amazing, Jim Parsons has truly become Sheldon Cooper

[lovelyE90]

@odysseus430 yes I just started watching the show and iam addicted Love sheldon Jim is amazing

[NT2011]

Don't like Dave

[daniegurl98]

lol dave hates him!

[JulieNicoleSays]

haha its weird 2 hear him laugh u know

[ingy57]

Jim is pure genius.

[DDbRowN67]

A whore!? hahahaaaaaa I would love to hear Sheldons' response to that! "You know a prostitute.....blah blah

[karbare111]

do u think he's gay? i

[SHIVAJI99]

@karbare111 why do u ask ?? Are you ?

[silentdon36]

I'm totally addicted to The Big Bang Theory. Just started watching it about a week ago. AWESOME SHOW.

[Crazie9462]

Whyd he get in trouble for saying whore?

[DZasTer83]

I was kinda mad when Family Guy made fun of Big Bang because i enjoy both so it was kinda messed up i was torn between both.. they actually made fun of scrubs too lol

[dreamfield25]

i like big bang theory.

[JocelynnInez]

Wow. He is more like Sheldon than I expected. I am so in love with him. I have a hard time deciding if he's kidding sometimes.

[JakJak478]

He honestly doesn't look like a Jim......He really does look like a Sheldon.

[bnimph10]

haha I was wondering what he was normally like, and he is still Sheldon. Awesome.

[ihavthering]

one of my all-time favorite shows and he is one of my favorites in the show he cracks me up how serious he says things...

i live in Houston : )

[hamster130]

lmao I love him!!!

[12312312312355]

me too

[treefalse]

It looked to me like Jim's sarcasm went over Letterman's head most of the time.

[ClayDB1]

hate Letterman love Parsons

[ranu]

so what if he said whore?

david letterman has said more shameful and disgusting things in the past.

whenever he gets bored- he always embarrasses someone (ie Matthew Broderick)

love Sheldon Cooper!

[dmccalldds]

Wow. Dave is as condescending as I remember him being.

[irishlass3872]

Jim Parsons is AWESOME!!! A lot like Sheldon indeed : ) MORE BIG BANG... I could see a movie in his future for sure!

[Ellier215]

He's Sheldon!

[serafimjones]

Is it just me, or did David not seem to thrilled to have him there, or listen to him? Probably just me...

[sparklypinknun]

OMgggggg that's his real voice!!! I love this man.

[lnsaniTyy]

I love is voice!

[kniggekniggs]

Anyone else catch that the band is playing Big Bang Baby by Stone Temple Pilots when Jim Parsons walks out??

[ImpressionSunflower]

Maybe David could have asked better questions...more about the show

Jim is too funny

[Anteater711]

Is he gay in real life?

[QueenofAntarctica]

Awe, I love him!!! He's so awkwardly cute in real life :)

[regulationjetta]

wtf is letterman's problem? you can sense the awkward tension..

[nighthauke]

@regulationjetta yeah, seems like letterman cut the interview short. jim wasnt really answering the questions.

[ChloeALaPunkPrincess]

Kim is such an awesome actor! The show is so friggin' funny!

[witcherismyname06]

is he being sheldon???

[PurityandDeath]

@witcherismyname06 No, he's just moderately intelligent and can convey what he's saying with comprehension and knowledgeability. Something everyone should be capable of but is sadly becoming a rare trait. I'm sure that's at least part of the reason he was picked for the role of such an elite intellectual.

[XIronxDudeX]

The son of Peewee Herman LOL hahahahah Jkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkj

[stfuyoungman]

i fucking hate advertisements. and this new youtube design.

[BLEACH43VER]

@stfuyoungman Im pretty sure you can skip advertisements by pressing F5

[sweetbriargirl]

He reminds me of Tim Gunn. I think it's his manner of speaking and facial expressions.

[BillyL6]

bazzinga

[jammiejennyyy]

it's so weird seeing him not completely annoying lol

[danedaworld]

@jammiejennyyy i guess that kinda shows how much of a badass actor he is

[iversonchen78]

hilarious

[jerenkel]

The commercials STINK. This would not even load the actual video. BOOOOOOOO COMMERCIALS!!!!

[SydbarF]

Sheldor is AFK!!!! OIC!!!!!

[CaptainAmerica523]

@SydbarF

Sheldor Back Online

[tuummie]

Hurricanes are exciting ... so are Earthquakes ... and Volcanos ... I just wish no one got hurt or lost their stuff, so we could all enjoy natural disasters, like we are supposed to.

[grumbledog]

"Unfunny queer"?

What are you, five?

[GadzooksGuy]

I wish he went "Knock Knock Knock Penny" so we could all sleep easy

[42Serendipitous13]

he is so funny...he is so much like his character....sheldons my favorite character...

[dawno5678]

aw <3's. he's so funny

[tony72811]

i think right now on t.v this is the most funniest guy i have ever seen on t.v he is cool,funny,comedian, well known by other people and many more stuff yeah this guy rules all the t.v s shows of all time 5/5 rating & subscription.

[amb817]

i like Jim and he's acting normal here,i want Sheldon to come out cuz he always cracks me up lol

[Mattstubbz]

My favorite part in Garden State is when comes out of saarsgards moms bedroom in full knight armor haha!!

[blugreen123]

"...even if it's just hanging up...wool" haha

"it makes me sound like a whore..." AWESOME!

[bkisme]

someone shoot that bald idiot at the keyboard.

[PhantomInTraining]

It is so unsettling to watch Jim Parsons act normal!! Haha, I still love him though :)

[ctaylor22192]

I looovvveeeee Jim Parsons!

[rooker2010]

He looks so weird in that suit, he needs to war his green lantern t-shirt

[solidysnake1]

i dont like the kind of racist ad.

[MeanStreet1981]

The ad for Sprint?

[kapazas2002]

I did my best

[snappydixon]

he makes me think of wally peepers back in the day

[snappydixon]

I gotta big old crush on him

[KappaDude101]

"It makes me sound like a whore" rofl

[ToastedOats74]

He is so fricken cute!!! Genuinely endearing.

[Icarus780001]

THE funniest person on T.V. right now!

[Raelynnsurfer7]

Love him! hes so funny! the whole cast is amazing!

[XxChLoExGoRdOnxX]

Jim is so funny! It's impossible to not like him!

[capixie]

He's so funny! Big Bang Theory is one of my favorites.

[RockMyMonkeyDOTcom]

Wow! It's almost creepy how much the actor and the character are alike. I think it makes the show even more of a train wreck. If I don't get season 2 on DVD for Xmas I must buy it. Best new comedy in at least a decade.

[SPICESMUGGLER71]

Being a train wreck is a BAD thing.

[marksp]

I think he's much more strange than his character! LOL This interview was really funny.

[curtiscrush]

ya just can't hate someone like this....love him !

[ihatepreps07]

god i just love this guys voice. he has such a faggy voice and it really becomes him cuz he has such a pretty face...his character is just like my brother...'cept he dresses like a guy ^^;

[ContrariusKuan]

he's a genius.

[Jayson11700]

30 second advertisment!!!!!!! wtf i hate that shit

[bucknut248]

im fine with a 15 second, but this is uncalled for

[wumbology102]

@Jayson11700

Hit the refresh button, and you only get a 15 second ad :)

[nighthauke]

@wumbology102 bacon?

[phishintodd]

@Jayson11700 Get over it dipshit - the clips are free - get a dvr if you don't want commercials...

[Jayson11700]

@phishintodd eat a dick fag

[johny5ish]

@Jayson11700 press F5 it will skip the advertisements

[xXHollysparkXx]

@Jayson11700 wow 106 thumbs up lol

[Jayson11700]

@xXHollysparkXx im that awesome

[xXHollysparkXx]

@Jayson11700 well 30 second advertisments are so fucking annoying... so u deserve that XD

[lighteyes214]

@Jayson11700 Totally agree!! I hate the advertisement too. But if it helps keep youtube free then I'd rather bitch and moan while watching for free!!

[babiesweethart973]

What's cool about Jim Parsons is he always shows interest in the people who are interviewing him - he often asks them questions about comments they make.

He even does it for a guy who lacks consideration for his guests. It doesn't take that much effort to remember the name of a television show and the time it's on, and yet Letterman has to read it off a piece of paper at the end.

[pianomaster272]

@babiesweethart973 yes,david letterman can be very rude to his guests.Look up david roth on david letterman and see how annoying how d letterman can be.

[bsucrew3]

please explain where he was being rude.

[MistressInked]

Jim is too adorable!!!

[AbveTheRealmParanorm]

knock knock knock penny knock knock knock penny knock knock knock penny

[bibbiedeng]

haha, lovely sheldon... i love him

[Truthiness231]

Best character of the best show currently running ^.^

[luv2spin31]

i so agree with you.

[stewy2711]

WHAT!?!?! They are such bad actors, there is a laugh track, it's all around unbelievable. Watch South Park or The Colbert Report. God damn... kids these days...

[Truthiness231]

I think the name implies I watch at least one of the shows and I can honestly say I love the other as well (Matt and Trey are quite witty). However, I also like The Big Bang Theory. Big deal. I've yet to hear Stephen make a Schroedinger's cat joke...

BTW, two other shows that had laugh tracks: Seinfeld and Fawlty Towers (the greatest comedies in US and UK history respectively). Pwned much ^.^

[Truthiness231]

On them being bad actors... Jim is great as his character, Kaley, Kunal and Simon are pretty good, and I think Johnny is overacting a bit to stress the "pathetic nerd" character (even though he's by far the most seasoned of the actors). In any case, it works for me a millions of others =P

[ToastedOats74]

He looks so nervous! He's so adorable!!!

[whapasz]

he's AWESOME! and insanely sexy =3

[TCryda]

holy shit! Jim is talks just like his character Sheldon! I skipped some of this so I dont know if he is doing it on purpose.

[Hollow47]

Jim parsons is from Texas, you do know that, right? He actually has a bit in common with Sheldon just at a basic level. Thankfully he doesn't appear as obnoxious in real life as on TV. So we can like them both!

[dramafreak116]

he's hilarious!

[impeacheuan3122]

Jim Parons ftw

[petewkro]

Dear lord, could this kid BE any more gay? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHA!

Seriously though, I felt sorry for him. He just froze up there. Not everyone can handle that kind of pressure. Hope he gets more comfortable in his own skin in the future.

[tony748748748]

i wonder if dave tryed to give jim the big bang theory

[tony748748748]

for all of you that gave me the thumbs down fuck you dave is scum and jim is too good to be on his show

[Eric8542009]

tony748748748, learn how to spell "tried"

[shadowkunai12]

JIM IS AWSOME Sauce11

[moonlily1]

he's a big nerd like sheldon, just a different kind. I think he's probably gay, too, but who knows.

[Hollow47]

Not homosexual, anti-sexual. Sheldon will get a date with a human being when Hell freezes over. His mother can barely understand him; what chance does a regular person have?

[moonlily1]

I didn't mean sheldon was gay, i know he's an asexual character. I meant Jim Parsons strikes me as gay.

[Hollow47]

Hmm, maybe.

[secondeye]

Part of it is the timbre of his voice and his texas accent, but yeah.. he does give off the vibe

[har9020]

Yes, he does. I think Galecki might be too.  I don't know, of course I just think.

[DVDSNutz]

show is great!!

seasons 1 and 2 DVDS available on our channel

[panicatthediscoxgirl]

He's so awkward in a strange yet absolutly fabulous way which makes him PERFECT for nearly ANY role.

[EvilTreeFrogs]

Wow, I didn't realize how much he was actually like his character, but he is. Like ForeverYoung58 said he is obviously a very intelligent guy, but I guess I just didn't realize the similarites before. He has a lot of charming quirkes! =)

[Bansheeeyes78]

Jim is the best ever!!

[pyrogyra72]

Personally, I think Jim Parsons should have been cast as Spock in the new Star Trek Movie. He'd have been perfect.

[ForeverYoung58]

Although he doesn't spout the intellectual stuff in this interview like his TV character, some of the strangeness he brings to the character of Sheldon is obviously real. He certainly comes by it naturally. I'll bet he was a bit of a nurd in real life when he was in school. Obviously quite intelligent. Clearly their is a lot of Parsons in the character he plays. Perfect, inspired casting. He an interesting cat.

[xinminc]

omg! i'd never though he could be this funny in real life! he is a natural comedian; i just love him in the show. i bet he's such a good person to have around,,,

[judithhr]

I get the impression Dave has never seen the show.

[Colloidalsilver]

Probably hasn't. Monday nights banging his interns.

[Ashley5ash]

I noticed that every time he smiles a little, he bites his lips. Could he possibly be self consious about his smile? It makes me wonder.

[scw3460]

Love him.

[RheaVid]

I only now noticed that Jim has pointy ears. Rock, scissors, paper, lizard, Spock? Very interesting.

[MetalKittyOTF]

Jim rocks Sheldon! Love his natural and funny delivery here too. Natural comedic genius. BBT = Funniest Show Ever

[Vidda90]

Jim Parsons seems a little bit like Sheldon in real life.

[Squatthis]

HE IS THOUGH hahaha. I was reading about it, he worked for Microsoft

[dereileak]

im guessing thats how he kinda filled the role, uses his own personality and goes even farther with it

[JacobSheppard]

In life?

lol

Great interview. Love it when the stars can actually talk without having to be asked specific questions.

[Mer1002]

he's adorable

[soccerkid52594]

greatest show eva

[kad1002]

jim is hot

[yoshiebe]

possibly, but that doesnt matter much as his is hilarious and doing VERY well.

[empbac]

So what? He's more successful than you'll ever be.

[FAUmaniac84]

ya never know...And theirs different perspective's on whats "successful".

[painhammer4560]

show kicks ass

[pansyxx2]

It's weird, usually actors who play nerd-ish characters are...well, much different than their characters. But he sounds and acts just like Sheldon in real life!

[skilledkid88]

i love how he's so nerdy in person as well as on the show. lol. i got a chance to meet him once, he truly is very nerdish! it's awesome.

[tbsosnj]

did I miss something when he was talking about being a whore? lol I'm confused as to what everyone was laughing at.

[azmegladon]

Best fucking show ever, I love BBT

[rabbit0877]

Season 3 is starting soon! Season 2 out on dvd next month. Can't wait.

[FirinMahLazar12]

stp ftw

[aaron4801]

Dam 36?? He looks 23

[greenstarlight0]

well i guess he didnt have to try very hard to be sheldon not much of a reach for him lol but hes still brilliant

[rabbit0877]

This guy is 36 years old?? Wow. Never woulda guessed it..

[lavenderopal]

i know seriously, he looks so much younger

[iscrmoal]

I was watching this at work and I just started laughing so loud. Thank god it was during by lunch or I would've been so fired. He cracks me up. After the emmy nom, I'm hopping he's gonna get more work in movies,

[coolboy499]

By the way he talks, you could tell that hes smart.

[DivaHelget]

I love this guy! And I just realized he looks a lot like Pee Wee Herman!! :) Love him too! ha ha

[rivchick05]

i cnat belive he said that and it didnt even fit so well in context. just cute.

[Mer901]

He's great!

[narahs22]

i have the entire season on my page

[HiroKawaii]

i loved him in the Late late show with craig. Craig is just as randiom =D

[311Bronco]

He acts just like his character Sheldon. But when it isn't incorporated with the snobby, condescending, and genius, he seems a little homo or metrosexual. But he is hilarious either way. One of my favorite shows.

[Bluedash3r]

yeah i was going to say 4 thumbs up buddy!!

[ugkngz24]

WHAT?

[sherrygirl]

I love his character, Sheldon, and now I love Jim Parsons. Big Bang Theory is such a well-written and funny show, but I think this is a launching pad for Jim. He's gonna be a big star down the road. Think Tom Hanks starting off in TV in Bosom Buddies.

[klumzypinoy]

Jim Parson is awesome!

[Zsnakeistaken]

He's so intelligent!

[FlagCutie]

Oh Jim, you whore!

[RuthPerry7]

hahaha i love sheldon!!

[melmel3820]

my hometown represent!

[tigersuz]

sheldon!!!

[saltymissjill]

yum.

[TheYellowScreen]

Why is Jim Parsons so damn adorable?! His body language, the way he talks...X3
