Writers Roundtable: John Krasinski, Bo Burnham, Tamara Jenkins, Peter Farrelly, Eric Roth | Close Up

JOHN KRASINSKI AND BO BURNHAM TOGETHER?!? .... I’m gonna cry with happiness

came for mostly bo and partly john

55:55 "There's a representational elephant in the room right now". One woman, all whites. So subtle. Bo I love you.

I wonder if the people at this table realize that the young kid sitting at the table is a literal genius.

I am in love with how John is laughing at Bo’s jokes and how he clearly recognizes his intelligence I would die if they worked on something together

Bo Burnham and John Krasinski is a combination I never knew I needed.

Tamara: I’m going to speak about the topic, here’s a quick premise— Host: yes, yes, fabulous point but also, somebody across the table, what is your take on, say, illegal organ donations

I felt bo's hands shaking when pointing out an ignorance in his much older and more experienced peers. I have the absolute most respect for that man.

It feels like Bo gained respect from these writers as this bit progressed. You could tell that his words resonated with the experienced writers at the table and they were intrigued and impressed by his responses. He is much more engaged by the end of it, so I think he felt the same way.

Tamara’s smile when Bo said “there’s a representational elephant in the room too” ~priceless~

25:33 "I write from a place of loneliness and a little bit of depression". Bo's chuckle felt like a "hold my beer" lol

The way that everyone just ignored bo when he said “there’s a representational elephant in the room too”

An SNL skit with Mr. Bean playing the moderator cutting people off and having odd questions could be good

There's no way the time was suddenly over the moment Bo says something that will rile up half the table lmao

Figured everyone's here for Bo so here u go: 4:16 Bo is questioned about his ideas on a Trump biopic 8:45 Bo agrees with Tamara 9:38 Bo laughing at John's joke 14:26 Bo speaks about his writing style/explains his movie '8th grade' and Tamara is cut off by the host YET AGAIN 16:35 Bo explains his prep for writing 8th grade/ the difference with girls and boys 24:36 Bo and Peter discuss characters 25:23 Bo nose laugh(sarcastic?) 39:37 Bo explains his struggle to write the ending of his movie and maintaining his ideals 40:26 Bo is asked about movies that influence him 47:40 Bo gives advice to new artists and explains the new generation struggles with culture and art 49:58 Bo says he thinks the best way to learn from artists is their work 52:15 abo speaks about influential works/'Brief interviews' 57:22 Bo explains his thoughts on cultural failures and the elephant in the room

Bo consistently engaging and listening to Tamara throughout this entire discussion is so refreshing to me

Bo's final remarks are the most important thing said in this entire video.

Bo burnham perspective on “PC culture” is such a different perspective coming from a straight white male comedian. Like don’t get me wrong. I don’t think those things make you wrong. But no burnham has totally changed the view of “ these kids are so sensitive” to yeah they are sensitive and why do you expect them to not be. Look at our environment. This is the pendulum swinging in the other direction and we cannot he mad as we figure out the right way to deal with certain sensitivities. I just respect this man so much

John saying “someone is writing this down right?” as Bo gives his brilliant explanation of youth creator culture near the end exemplifies Bo’s ability to verbalize what a whole generation has been trying to explain to their elders for years now. And as other commenters noticed I think as the video progressed they all gained respect for each other.

I really liked Bo's idea about showing a boring story because everything about trump is usually so extravagant. That's fascinating.
