I got to talk to Paul Giamatti for his upcoming 'Black Mirror' episode. This exchange, about getting mistaken for Larry the Cable Guy, is probably the hardest I've ever laughed while reading back an interview transcript. www.gq.com/story/paul-g... - ThreadSky

Did you ask him about Merlot, I bet he really, really loves being asked about that?

vincemancini.bsky.social•62 days ago

I did the first time I interviewed him like five years ago.

I'd imagine his reaction was similar to this https://youtu.be/ImMOtQPfCYQ?si=He0XaJmXNkuXIQ-q

I'm pretty sure Larry the cable guy isn't even from the south

Fucking GOLD.

I loved Giamatti's defunct paranormal podcast

Did you ask if L. Marvin Metz was going to reveal his Nom de Plume: L. as in Lee Child on a special Lodge 49 crossover episode of Reacher? Liz Du-d-ff-l-y? Like that isn’t a witness protection name! She knows all about Bronson Pinchot’s kanga’wooz files! @briancgrubb.bsky.social right?!

Are you having a stroke

brendanjmurphy.bsky.social•62 days ago

Maybe? Bizarre bazaahr? Lodge 49 changes you mannnnn.

This is 100% Reacher prequel canon. Giamatti IS Special Agent Duffy’s origin story:

I love that Dan Whitney took the accent from his college roommates and now has to do it 24/7 or he's afraid he'll lose it. It's like if Clark Kent became super popular and Superman was like "sure, saving the world is great, but did you SEE the advance Random House offered me??"

Your interviews are reliably great, but this is absolute gold even by those standards

Larry the Cable Guys quickly steps into a phone booth, removes the hat, and hunches his back.

I think we have achieved maximum Giamatti

My favorite Steven King title

I bet he gets “love you in Stranger Things” all the time, but this… never occurred to me.

robertdoc1984.bsky.social•62 days ago

Last time he got this much in the weeds about Superman, he was Santa apologizing to Kevin Spacey for not getting him a Superman cape
