Patrick Stewart on Frank Sinatra Being a Star Trek Fan, Starting the Show in ’87 & Picard Finale 

This man helped define me as a person and I will always love him for it. Thanks, space dad! ❤

Patrick is an International treasure

Lol was the final emotional… I teared up five different times… The most I ever have done watching TV. Honestly, it was a wonderful homage to the whole series and this entourage of actors.

With all my heart ❤ I love Sir Patrick Stewart. Worth more than antimatter

Among the serious things Sir Pat Stew might have wanted to say: How he came to the set with the mindset of an earnest, theater-trained actor and began his time on ST quite put off by all the joking going on--joking that, in hindsight, was part of what not only loosened him up, but helped the Next Gen cast become such a close-knit troupe! I've heard that story from the great man's lips in other interviews, btw. When you see them all in the final scene of Picard season 3, one thing is very, very clear to me: They're not acting anymore, in the sense that all guards are down and they are being allowed to be themselves; genuine friends, whose influence on science fiction and television will last for generations to come.

So, so sweet to enjoy this lovely series to bring closure for the fans and everyone. The LOVE that went into Pickard is obvious and so appreciated. Thank you everyone for the unimaginable gift to the Star Trek universe. 🤩🤩😍😍🥰🥰🥰

the goosebumps when they enter their good old Enterprise.

What a great man! I viewed the Show so early in my life... i was a little boy, and i never grew up! As soon i see StarTrek i am the little boy again :D

C'mon, with Excalibur and Dune under his belt as a pre-teen I knew who he was.

Sir Patrick Stewart for you

thank u

How comes that he looks like 10 years younger here than in the series?

Watch Excalibur (1981)

Michael Dorn watching this going 🥲

0:14 *Paramount Plus, Kimmel. 🤣

My first memory of Sir Patrick Stewart is his role as Gurney Hallick in Dune! He is simply amazing! A true legend!

I have a special place in my heart for Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen ❤.

Staying up late to watch the finale. I hope that Stewart and the rest of the cast live long and prosper. Star Trek: Legacy? Make it so!

Wow, he is a charismatic, eloquent, intelligent and lovable man who has created fascinating memories for us viewers for years. For me personally, his performance in the movie Logan was very personal and emotional.

im 50, i have never considered myself a fan of anyone. But as i sit here watching Patrick, I realized, he may be the only famous person i could call myself a fan of. He is such a good actor.

Living legend. Proper gentleman.

Some of my earliest memories are watching TNG with my mom. Great to see Patrick Stewart doing so well. And the rest of the TNG cast too.

He's been one of my favorite actors since I was a child. 💯💯💯💯💯

For me he was the greatest captain and his crew the greatest crew of the enterprise!

Picard season 3 rules so hard

He is so important to not just sci-fi, but film, cinema, television. Sir Patrick Stewart is a juggernaut through and through, and hasn't slowed down yet.

Sir Patrick isn't just Star Trek, he is extreme talent all around, he has Brough smiles, tears, and excitement to many people, he is a creative essence and amazing artist!

What an absolutely wonderful man! Picard season 3 has been the best Trek made in the last decade. "I'm afraid I'm emotionally compromised, Captain".

I just adore Patrick Stewart. He’s so sweet and humble and whip-smart. And funny! If I were his neighbor I’d be inviting him to dinner every week. Wonderful guy.

I wish I had 10% of his vitality, humour and intelligence when I'm 82.

Sir Stewart naming his 'rat pack' poor Michael Dorn lolol

Patrick Stewart is one of 3 notable people I would actually like to meet. May he live forever! Engage!

Before the x-men movies came out, most of us fan casted Patrick Stewart as professor x. That is because of his stellar acting as Jean-Luc. He has that gravitas in the way he acts.

When Sir Patrick Stewart asks for one serious moment, you don't interrupt.

I have loved Patrick Stewart since he first appeared in "TNG" all those years ago. The entire cast is remarkable, and it's so good to have them reunited for this series. Great interview! ❤

One of the best interviews I have seen in a long time. Live long and prosper Sir Patrick! 🖖

I love Patrick and the Star Trek gang. We all got older and better. Wonderful!

This Season of Star Trek Picard was real Star Trek, none of this nonsense like Star Trek Discovery. Terry Matalas has done an excellent awesome job. The finalke of this season has opened the possibility for Captain Seven and her crew to start a new series with appearances from characters from Next Gen, Voyager, DS9. This is a must for Star Trek to continue . I have been a Star Trek fan since I was 7 and now I am almost 54. Star Trek influenced me into a career in aviation and becoming a jet pilot. I was very, very disappointed with Star Trek Discovery, with the characters and plot. I have loved the Orville and hope that gets more sessions. So, Captain Seven, Picard's son , Geordi' daughter and rest of crew go out exploring the universe, just like Captains Kirk, Picard and Janeway.

I love this man and I will always love his version of A Christmas Carol!

Let's not forget that he was in John Boorman's "EXCALIBUR" and David Lynch's "DUNE" too. He also portrayed Sejanus in the magnificent BBC series "I, CLAVDIVS".

Listening to him mention the names of his cast mates just has to give you goosebumps.

Not since the cameras were turned on in May 1987 has the "man in the chair" been more charming and more honorable, with care and gravitas.

When I was in university my entire floor would gather on Thursdays at 7 pm to watch Star Trek TNG. You could hear a pin drop. Then when it was over we’d drink and get ready to hit the bars. Loved the original but TNG was great

It's a testament to JK's interview skills that, having zero interest in any Star Trek shows whatsoever, I thoroughly enjoyed this interview. I understood all the references related to Sinatra, Shatner, and Buttigieg. Jimmy has been my touchstone since Letterman retired. And Patrick Stewart, you were great, open, and honest.

The one shocking thing about Patrick Stewart is he doesn't look like he changed all that much since I first saw him on TV in September 1987. Oh Captain, my captain!

I remember having first seen Sir Patrick in the 1976 series “I, Claudius.” It was a remarkable series. He also played Sir Alec Guinness’ adversary Karla in the 1982 miniseries “Smiley’s People.”

I loved watching ST Picard, not a surprise as TNG was my favorite SCIFI show ever. It was pretty emotional in season 3 with all of the TNG crew coming back together. Now I'm in the same emotional place I was when TNG ended, but it was worth it.

CBS studios did a fantastic, almost believable, amazing job with Picard's 3 Seasons. He's almost 90 years old, so his TV son Jack will mostly likely take Star Trek into the New Generation. (I won't spoil the ending of the Picard Finale, but a very special and unexpected post-credit scene happened that gave me chills) Star Trek will never die with us fans that always show for for more

Patrick Stewart is a treasure, and his blazer is also exceptional; props to the dresser.

Jimmy saying “CBS all access” but it was rebranded to paramount plus like 2 years ago or something 😂😂

We all grew up with them. I remember being little and TNG was THE show for INSPIRATION, BELIEVING IN A BETTER FUTURE, and POSITIVITY. It was so full of charm and GREATNESS!!! Gosh i am SO HAPPY to se them reunite after all this time and being all great together again! They are part of my life and hope for a greater humanity! TNG and Star Trek are more than a show on so many levels. WE NEED POSITIVITY NOW MORE THAN EVER IN THE WORLD! We have to make this world constantly a better and better place. In the end humanity is just a big family...

Whether on the stage in a Shakespeare play, at the helm of the Enterprise, or putting the moves on Frasier (still one of my favourite episodes), Sir Patrick is a stellar talent and never takes himself too seriously.

Great guest great interview thank you Jimmy !!!

I never cried and I'm still weeping seeing all together again, warm my heart the last two episodes thanks to all who made it happened.

I just love Patrick Stewart. I grew up watching him as Captain Picard. As an adult, I learned about Patrick Steward beyond being an actor, everything he does for women's rights. His amazing friendships and other non-tv/movie acting. They often say don't meet your heroes but I can't imagine being anything but delighted and amazed if I got to meet him.

Love this man forever!!!THE GREATEST STAR TREK CAPTAIN

Patrick Stewart is my most favorite human. Thanks for doing Picard when I needed you most. ❤

I'm fortunate enough to have met many of the actors from the original series/ tng/ Voyager and Ds9. They truly love their fans and enjoy interacting with them. The 2 highlights for me as a fan were; sharing the "Vulcan hand greeting" with Mr. Nimoy and shaking his hand AND giving flowers to Miss Nichols and getting a KISS from her!! May they both rest in peace.

I worked with Patrick at the Guthrie Theater, he is better in person than I can tell you. We had a nice comic book club.

I love that Jimmy kept saying CBS All Access when it should be Paramount+

I love Picard, and Patrick is more affable than Bill, but James T. Kirk will always be my superior officer and Captain of Enterprise.

Lovely interview, Patrick is such a dude. Season 3 is amazing, so happy Worf came back :)

I will be genuinely sad when Patrick Stewart passes. What an amazing man.

Picard Season 3 was everything we have been waiting for as TNG fans.

Patrick Stewart is such a big sweetheart!💖

An amazing actor. A wonderful person. ST TNG was highlight of my childhood, and having Picard now is a new highlight.

I'm not a trekkie, but I know Sir Patrick from American Dad and he's goddamn hilarious. Legend.

I adore Patrick Stewart! He’s a treasure!

Love, love, love Sir Patrick Stewart his movies and Star Trek series!!❤❤❤❤

The guy is 82 - and still going strong - a genuine inspiration & gentleman

Patrick was in the movie “DUNE”, back in the 80’s.

There is Nothing Patrick Stewart does that isn’t Excellent! Enjoy your retirement Captain Picard, the Starship fleet, & the rest of us, will miss you dearly! Thank you for so many years of wonderful entertainment!!! Jimmy, you deserve a hug For bringing us Patrick Stewart tonight at the end of his stellar career. Can’t think of two finer people I would rather watch than seeing you two tonight!

TNG is my home, Picard and the crew are family. I've watched that series many times, it makes life a little easier to deal with, having an ambitious idea of the future and people willing to sacrifice themselves for a greater good. Sir Patrick is a treasure ❤

God I’m gonna miss captain Picard

“Picard” has been an incredible show that went out on the highest possible note with Season 3. Bravo!!!

This man is a legend

"Make it so" sounds like a Sinatra song title, actually.

STtNG is still my all time favorite show, ahead of GOT and Breaking Bad and even comedy shows like Cheers and Friends. It was a perfect show and they had 26 episodes a season.

One of the best things SirPatStew could possibly say about the character & how Picard is portrayed in it: "He is not the same man. People are not the same as they were 25 years ago" and that's 100% true, like the 11th Doctor said: "We all change, when you think about it, we're all different people; all through our lives, and that's okay, that's good, you've gotta keep moving, so long as you remember all the people that you used to be."

I know time marches on, but it's sad to hear him talk and that iconic voice isn't there anymore..but so glad for his career and not just Star Trek to say the least, loved his Shakespearian work

Star Trek is one of the top murdered franchises of recent times. Season 3 however was a rare anomaly and there were some brilliant episodes.

patrick stewart is a legend. what a great guy i love this interview.

I know most folk didn't see the show but I still think it's a shame he didn't get to appear on Legion as Professor X. He even said he wanted to appear.

Best show on planet earth…and beyond… 🌎…😢will miss next generation…Engage 👉

Stsr Trek TNG was the only show my whole family watched together. Star Trek Picard is a superb ending to a classic series. Thank you Patrick for agreeing to come back and do one last curtain call!

2:41 "You meet someone and, uh, as you talk to them there's something weird about the conversation, and then you realize -- it's a fan." You have crossed over into ... the Twilight Zone.

The finale was beautiful. Great sendoff and that tease wow ha

With all due respect to the rest of the TNG cast, there was something amazingly special about having a Shakespearean actor with Stewart’s kind of performance gravitas as the next Captain of the Enterprise. Not everyone started at that level (Shut up Wesley! Jk) but everyone’s performances were impacted, I believe by the standards he set, and the examples he gave. I think this is the reason, or one of the most important reasons that the franchise has lasted so long, Stewart understood what Start Trek was intended to be beyond an SF show, beyond a comedic company of geeks, but as an ideal of what humanity could aspire to. Look at the Q episodes for example, John Delancey is a hell of an actor playing an immortal or semi immortal being with near God like power, yet Stewart’s performances are so good that there is real doubt in the audiences mind that Q with all his power could win against Picard because Picard is that smart. I’ve been doling out watching episodes of Picard like fine wine because I don’t want it to be over, but every performance must come to a close, and with what little I’ve learned today, I’m afraid the temptation to race through the rest will be overwhelming. In the meantime, to all involved in the ST universe, Bravo! Well done!

I'm going to be charitable and say Patrick forgot to say Michael Dorn. It happens. The name that was missing that really surprised me is Ian McKellan. I thought they were best buds.

When stng came out I was appalled by this Capt. And he won me over within the first few episodes. He's an icon

Patrick Stewart is a gem of a human being.

Star Trek Picard Season 3 is excellent nostalgia filled romp. It deserves an Emmy!!!

I absolutely adore Patrick Stewart. He is funny, sincere, witty and has a great heart. I have watched him avidly since ST:TNG and he has not disappointed in all the years I have followed his career in TV and movies. Bless you, Sir Patrick - I hope you live forever!

Sir Patrick is a legend and a treasure.

Will someone pleaae tell Jimmy that CBS All Access is now called Paramount+ for more than 2 YEARS now.

Poor Michael Dorn…

Thank you Sir Patrick Stewart! What a beautiful Final season. It is great to see him get the press he had when TNG started in 87

He is a great Shakespearean actor, we saw him in Macbeth WOW what a performance. Such a charming talented man, he is a cutie pie too.

You know...if he hadn't done Star Trek, chances are he would have become an iconic British stage actor.....and then he would have been cast in Game of Thrones!!! Haha! Seriously....GoT would have made him a big star anyway. Resistance is Futile Patrick....Hollywood gets you no matter what.

Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them. Sir Patrick is all three.
