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 ❤😂

He says perhaps!! I have to see how expensive it is though. Knowing Broadway ... But that's the only cost really besides the bus. We'd eat at Jollibee or the dollar slice places.
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.

I have never heard of Cole before but I AM FLABBERGASTED. Such a flowy funny person. Never awkward, you can tell they do theater.
Cole is such a gem and talented. If you don’t know of them you are truly missing out.
Cole Escola makes my heart sing every single time they're on my screens.
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!
Cole Escola liked one of my TikToks and I’ve never been happier in my life.
Thank you for interviewing the fabulous Mary Lincoln, she is a legend :) 🤔😃😆
idk who they are, but they're mothering, and I respect that.

I’ve been following Cole for years and I’m so so proud of the success of this play. They’re so funny and so deserving.
I frequently watch "A Closer Look" but when Seth mentioned Cole Escola last night on a monologue clip I was PISSED that I couldn't immediately see the rest of the show and had to wait until lunchtime at work today to watch this clip. To this day I still randomly think about and quote various lines from 'Jeffery and Cole Casserole'. I am so happy that Cole has made it so far!!!!! ❤️
Cole is hilarious! I loved Cole's work on At Home with Amy Sedaris. If you haven't seen the show, watch it now! Now, dammit, now!!

What I love about Seth is he’s so game and so up for anything. He’s clearly very sure of himself because hes always comfortable being the punchline.

I've seen Cole's short skits on Tiktok and figured they were a new drama school graduate (what are they, 23?) and was shocked to see their 38! Blowing up RN and rightly so.

Mary Todd Lincoln was famously insane. So basically, Cole Escola wrote an autographical play but used MTL instead of himself as the protagonist. Cool! I'll bet it's a great show.
This HAS to be one of my favourite segments from the show-and there are so many great ones from which to choose. I’ve forwarded to friends, and watched it several times-replaying parts along the way in each viewing. Cole is a delight, and the chemistry between Seth and Cole is beyond brilliant! I would love to see this performance. Failing that…. …Mr Speilberg…. …we’re WAITING….. Thanks for bringing us laughter and joy… Stay well! Muskoka ON 🇨🇦

So happy for Cole getting their recognition and praise for Oh Mary! Was hilarious lol
The kind of person I wonder where I've payed attention to, to not have known who they were beforehand. Just from this interview alone I can see that this right here is someone who loves the work they do and lives art so genuinely. Will for sure be keeping an eye on them from now on and hopefully get to attend the play!
Cole is an icon and I need to see this show asap
I absolutely must see this show, Cole Escola is once in a lifetime brilliant
Love this little fella
Loved Cole on Difficult People!
I remember seeing Cole years ago with their friend Jeffrey Self and they would do these little sketches on KZread, and Cole would be the zany one to Jeffrey's straight man, and I always thought they were so funny. So happy to see Cole having this kind of success now because I know that was one of their dreams.
Cole is absolutely brilliant in all aspects.
That fucking dress. I just love it!

Being a Cole Escola fan for the last 8 years, I am so excited for people to discover Cole. If this made you want to look up Cole's KZread Channel- you are in for a life changing experience. My personal favorite is the short film "Pee Pee Manor". I also love Andrew Yang, who makes Cole's incredible costumes!
ok! this interview was HEAVEN!!!! omg!! Cole is as marvelous in interview as he is onstage! heaven!!
Cole is from Claskanie (clatt-scan-eye) a tiny town in Oregon on the Columbia. It’s so cool to see them succeed!
Never go away Cole! Such an icon 🥹
YES! Can't wait for the movie! A colab with Cole and Steven Spielberg!
Excellent interview

Cole is so talented, can’t wait to see the show
cole taught me the term twink, from watching search party. 😂
Search for "Our Home Out West" which Cole uploaded here to KZread. It was meant to be an ongoing series, so it says "Episode One" but, sadly, they couldn't get funding. Cole wrote it and plays multiple parts. It's a bit ribald and risqué - but it's genius.
God I love you Cole! So happy for you!
