    This is my first introduction to Cole, and the fact they committed so hard to the joy of their character that they came in costume, curls bouncing, has endeared me to them forever ❤😂
  • The play is so beautifully unhinged. Still thinking about it and laughing weeks later. Broadway is NOT ready.
  • Question for the group. Can you imagine any other late night host (current or past) being so genuinely and happily engaged with the hand job bit at the end of this interview? With zero qualification or qualm? I'm glad Late Night remains a place of love.
  • @FuzzyBSMcgee
    “Because someone told me you find it in rehearsal!” was such a great ending lmao
  • @evanwallace9296
    I’m so happy Cole is finally getting their flowers!! 💐
  • @withershin
    "it's in my other pants" - the timing was gold.
  • I've been following Cole Escola since their early work with Jeffery Self, and I always knew someday that they'd make it big. I'm just so proud of them and all their accomplishments. I'm especially happy that the world gets to experience their craft.

    Love Cole Escola and love when Seth has guests he can really riff with
  • Cole Escola liked one of my TikToks and I’ve never been happier in my life.

    Cole Escola makes my heart sing every single time they're on my screens.
  • @rascal_rae
    idk who they are, but they're mothering, and I respect that.
  • Hilarious interview. I'd never seen Cole before, but I wish I could see 'Oh, Mary!" They know how to work that hoop skirt - maybe it'll make a fashion comeback - along with sausage curls!

    From Casserole to Broadway..... super talented way to go.
