    I adore this man's acting. He makes any character, even in the worse movie, legit. His characters are so believable, so real, so naturally performed. I hope he gets an Oscar one day, finally. An amazing actor and genuinely funny human being. That's Paul Giamatti, ladies and gentleman!!!

    Paul Giamatti was amazing in John Adams, a series about the 2nd U.S. president. His acting through all the stages of John Adams' life was just incredible. If you have HBO I'd highly recommend it.

      Agreed! If I was trying to tell someone that BK story based on the exact same facts and events it would turn out as a dumb and hopefully quickly forgotten anecdote. I don’t give a single hoot about Burger King but the way Giamatti narrated his emotional ups and downs over a silly gift card was quite engaging.

    Paul Giamatti has just done a Hugh Laurie, talking about a Burger King For Life Card before he had got one (just like Laurie did) in anticipation BK will send him a card, as they did with Laurie. The fact Giamatti has just given Burger King a 3 minute international advert promotion across all the countries the Colbert franchise is screened in is bound to help his cause. Genius Giamatti! 😂

    Such awesome presence from Mr. Giamatti on this one! Damn this guy has charisma - he is simply in a class of his own.
    Also - holy crap does he look fit now... Saw him for the last time in Billions when pandemic was starting - almost did not recognize him.
    Great stuff!

    The fact that BK spent that much just to troll Paul Giamatti with a 100 gift card is awesome
