when you recognize someone by their voice 2.0 | gillian jacobs 

Gillian Jacobs is not a "gorgeous Hollywood starlet." She's 40 years old and she's a D list actress who is mostly only known for having been in Hot Tub Time Machine.

Where might we find this fabled “D list”? And she’s in way more than that. But 40 being a thing for you tells me all I need to know 😖👌

@@disabledchatzen5276 longest word in the English language, I believe.

I mean it's doable to make a crossword with that word in it. It would be just a very large crossword. I bet there are crosswords like that, just not in ur ordinary newspaper.

Yes yes yes! I also loved that!

Seriously every time I see her in something just as herself, interview or whatever. she's so charming!

Yinzers are polite!

And nobody else did, not even "Mama".

I was going to say this. That was just so damned wholesome.

How wonderful your comment sat for 8 months with over 1 thousand likes and no replies, im bout to say the cringeist phrase on RU-vid; let me fix that!

I saw a comment that said “she killed herself to be immortal. She knew it was perfect. And everyone would remember it.”

I had the exact same thought. Couldn't help but smile and feel happy for her.

If you listen to WNPR, you understand her excitement.

She so cute doing that

I think Gillian gave it to him to take a picture since he was the closest to her.

@@mikosoft Yep, if you rewatch it carefully you can see the phone on Gillian's chair and Joel picks it up from Gillian's chair to take the picture.

Sign of a good friend that knows to do this.

Who the hell is he always texting? Everyone he knows is there.

He needs to get rid of that teaching job and do acting full time. The guy knocked it out of the park!

Bro even forgot that the truth was that he published his first puzzle at 16, but 3 said it was when he was 14.

no. at the start the real one was introduced as "sold first puzzle at 16." that #3 said he was 14 when he sold his first puzzle. a "hell of an actor" would never forget his lines.

That’s the funny part, they can’t lie for the questions they are asked, they are sworn to tell the truth (the real ones)… so if some sound way way way to good like number 3; it could be a big tell… I don’t think number two was necessarily playing it off per say… so much as number 3 was going above and beyond to sell him self… as he should, lol

That awkwardness was what gave him away for me.

That was the only reason why I was sure it was him (that and the "What was the hardest word you put on a crossword?" answers, because there is no way "pneumonoultramicroscopisilicovulcanoconiosis" would fit).

I love Gillian's face at 0:24, too. It just lights up when she realizes that her idol is in front of her lol

I also love how proud he looks at 4:21.

@@KathyHoismygovtnm such a good time stamp

@@eugenio027 they have puzzles where there are sentences - they wrap them on multiple lines.

You can! The world tries to harden us up, but we all have the potential for childhood glee.

maybe stop saying shit like I WISH I COULD...just do it fake it if you must but come on dude get over it at some point

Will Shortz is the man though. Many people have seen his name every day when doing the NYT crossword

….but his contributions aren’t small.

Well... I wouldn't say his contributions are small. He's probably the most recognizable name in crosswords, as the long-time editor of the NYT crossword.

Man, I really needed to read this right in this moment... Thanks for that.

@@lokitagaby17 I meant this not to diminish the incredible work he’s done. But that since not everyone does crosswords (I personally love them and I have the app) it’s always great to see people appreciate what might go unnoticed by the average person.

Def any Pixar/ Disney or even Animes.

Now that he knows, he might even put a clue in one that relates to community or her career. That would be such a cool thing for a fan, like her, to catch.

That's kind of going from underpaid to being hopelessly underpaid, isn't it?

Probably year tbh

This guys already a actor watch Romeo must die 🤝

This, that word would never fit in any crossword puzzle. That gave it away.

It's like a layperson to think "oh there must be some gigantic super hard crosswords with ridiculously long scientific words, probably" but there are limits!

Yeah, the big long word was too long so that's also why I thought #2.

It would fit on multiple lines but it is still unlikely to be in a crossword. Editors do that sometimes with quotations.

Also, the presentation said that he sold his first puzzle at 16 but #3 said he sold his first at 14

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-75xW3sJyp64.html Reminds me of this moment

Yeah but this isn’t really about information anyway, or ever was to begin with. It’s much more about bias’s and opinions of one dude, going with his feelings. Not a damn thing to do with information or the awareness of it to people who NEED to know these things. It’s a game show for fucks sake. For FUN

She's not a "nerd." She's just trying to be a "quirky bookworm girl."

OK you posted this multiple times so several of us are curious for you to give us your own personal definition of ‘nerd’. Let’s see it:

She watches documentaries and does cross word puzzles. Can she get any nerdier?

@@ithamarlowe2629 If she was able to recognize her supposed hero, that might help.

@@FromRussia_With_Love "trying to be"? go off will ya

He literally pronounced it wrong lmao.

lol i had my own gillian moment when i heard him say that, i was also a weirdo as a child and would read the dictionary and that was my favorite word to stun adults with

.... and yeah he said it wrong

It’s the longest word in major English dictionaries, no shit it wasn’t in an NYT puzzle

I'm a teacher and you are 100% correct. I have one student in 6th grade who says this word all the time 🤣

He's actually gotten a lot of recognition. He's guest starred as himself on The Simpsons and How I Met Your Mother and been on several talk shows including Oprah and Colbert. That documentary about him Gillian mentioned was the best reviewed and most commercially successful documentary of 2006 and included interviews with Bill Clinton and Jon Stewart, both gushing about him as much as she did. More people watched all of that than watched this game show, but there's probably little overlap, so you're right that this appearance introduced him to a new audience.

Not to mention a hug from Gillian Jacobs! ;P

Yeah that one flew under the radar even for me, only noticed it the second rewatch

Thought the same thing re the age mistake! Noticed it right away.

It's easy to spot when you have the luxury of watching it back and rewatching. They had to decide on spot and the infodump at the beginning probably didn't stick as it's too much to remember.

I noticed Gillian’s reaction to number 3’s answer to the longest cross word puzzle question and knew from there lol, then it made me think how she freaked out after her question to number 2’s voice because she was instantly like “I know who it is”

That look on his face and the one Gillian gave when number 3 answered Joel's question were both dead giveaways of who it was. Man, everyone comes off looking like good people from this clip.

and that phrase spoiled the game cause only guy number 2 had "radio deep voice". It was obvoius after that what she say and no more question needed...

@@tomek3210 the problem with that line of thought, is that you assume the person had to have a radio deep voice in the first place because she mentioned the radio. while it is more statistically probable, it is not definitive. what i think the actual give away was the attitude change the second she heard his voice, if he had been asked first, i doubt she would have even asked a second question she was fangirling so much i would not be surprised if she had a picture of him from somewhere as well is why she asked 3 first.

Ugh, Britta's in this?

Gillian Jacobs is not a "nerd." She's just trying to cultivate a "I'm quirky and nerdy and a bookworm not like other girls" image.

@@FromRussia_With_Love well dude-like everything, it’s subjective and as someone who has worked in libraries for years, has a cinema degree, minor in psychology I’d say the culmination of her personality traits makes her seem like a nerd. And a lot of girls/women are nerdy. ✌🏾

In other words, to be accepted as a true nerd, you have to walk the walk as well as talk the talk. But there’s no doubt she has earned at least partial nerd cred. One doesn’t necessarily need to completely lack social aptitude or look a certain way to be a ‘nerd’.

@@someone_something_yeah7552 nerd, to many likely means someone smart but also in specific studies. Someone who can go on and on over a certain topic. But-it’s all subjective. Nerd by definition (yup, just looked it up) is a person seen as overly intellectual, obsessive, introverted or lacking social skills. I mean Peter Parker is considered a science nerd, Supergirl, Lena and Lex Luthor (some comic book types) and then many could say Stephen Colbert is a nerd (based on his love of Lord of the Rings, amongst other reasons), Lady Gaga who went to Julliard, Margot Robbie who has discussed her love of Harry Potter books in interviews. Again-and redundantly-being a nerd is partially based on what’s trendy, but it’s certainly branched away from Urkel and Velma like characters. ✌🏾

@@someone_something_yeah7552 I would think that the minimum requirement for "walking the walk" here would include recognizing your supposed "nerd idol" who most non-nerds would recognize pretty easily. This is like if I told you that I'm a huge fan of the Edmonton Oilers, but then you showed me a picture of Wayne Gretzky and I was like "who tf is that." Most non-Oilers fans and even people who don't watch hockey would recognize the guy. Gillian is a crossword puzzle nerd but she doesn't recognize Will Shortz? I've never done a crossword puzzle in my life and I can recognize his face.

She's a grown ass woman, should have outgrown this behavior by now.

Cutest thing to see! She even knew he likes to play ping pong.

It's so damn annoying. She's trying so hard to be "quirky and nerdy."

@@zebraneighbor6383 man what did she do to live in your head rent free? All your comments are for berating her in many ways

@@modeski Taking fifteen seconds to talk shit about someone isn't living in someone's head rent free.

The issue is more about you accusing her of faking this or playing it up. Just because she’s an actress doesn’t mean she’s faking or acting EVERYTHING about this appearance. Your suggestion of this says more about YOU than it does about her. It’s one thing to personally dislike ‘quirky and nerdy’; it’s another thing to accuse her of playacting.

well to be fair, the saturday crossword is, for a huge percentage of NYT subscribers, the primary/only reason they subscribe in the first place. Plus I imagine Will gets a little more than 72k, AND that would probably be for ONLY the NYT crossword. The dude is all over the place making puzzles and games.

Yeah it turns out when you work all year-round and have a specialized skill you get paid more.

@@trippelini1219 Teachers get the same vacation schedule as students... they can blow me.

@@ev6558 so you believe teaching is not a specialized skill? And you also that the actual hours in the classroom are the only times teachers work, meaning the school vacation weeks are just them lounging around in vacation houses? If anything, I would say that a teacher works harder and longer than a crossword puzzle editor, they impact more lives and their contribution to society is objectively much more significant.

@@locobob No, it's not a specialized skill. It's a 2 year degree. You realize in most jobs people do more work outside their regular work hours, and don't get 1/4 of the year off? Learn how the world works, Robert, you're a grown man with the naivete of a child.
