    You got Ron on the show? 🥰🤩👍 The pairing I never knew I needed, yet here we are!
  • @bpark3726
    Ron Pearlman being my favorite Lovett or Leave it guest has been a fun surprise 😂❤ they gave great banter and chemistry
  • Jesse Waters. Every time I see him, I think he’s some Stanley Tucci Hunger Games’ character. Gives me a jolt every time.
  • I thought JD was just batshit, but then he used the word "cadences" so, not having an elite Yale education, i'm just overwhelmed by his eloquence.
  • I'm old enough to remember Beauty & The Beast every Fri. night at 8 p.m. on CBS...I watched the whole series at the time, though I was still too young to think to question "is this weird ?". That was my first instance of hearing Ron Perlman as an actor, and it was probably several years before I actually saw him in anything where his face was visible. Such a great voice...and I like how he comes across in interviews (not just as the scary tough guy type of role he's so often been cast in).

    my mom lost her mind after my 2 youngest brothers were born. Too many kids, not enough money equals crazy parents.
  • 1:50 I think I get it, it's like Ron Perlman and the dude are kind of Yin and Yang of each other
  • I ADORE Ron Perlman. Crushing it, Lovett. And, yes, this GenX nanny CHEERED in her kitchen when you mentioned BEAUTY & THE BEAST!
  • @appa5894
    after sons of anarchy its so fucking wild to see him just be chill and nice
  • @sasaniem131
    Ron Perlman is one of my all time favourites, no matter what movie, i love him ^^
  • @ 6:38 I'll never get over how George RR Martin's day job was writing for the Beauty and the Beast series before GoT 🙃
  • Yes!!! I didn't think I would ever get to see the return of Ron Perlman on Lovett!
  • Given the right script, Ron Perlman can build or shake the foundations of ANY franchise. He should be Star Trek or Star War's next supervillian, if he hasn't already.:hand-pink-waving:
  • I heard JD Vance referred to the other day as Vladmir Futon and now I can't stop using it.
