In a humorous moment, Fielder took out a New York Times review and had host Jimmy Kimmel read it aloud.

“Yeah, man. It’s like, I don’t think they know really, uh, get what acting is,” Fielder said with mock indignation.

Fielder, with mock indignation, responded to criticisms of "limited range" and being "stiff," emphasizing that it's all part of portraying a specific character

Stone, giving a nod to Nathan Fielder's acting prowess in 'Poor Things', stood firmly in his corner.

She praised his incredible talent, highlighting how she constantly communicated with him during their collaboration, closely monitoring the progress and being genuinely impressed by everything.

Fielder, in a humorous twist, had Stone share their text exchange with Jimmy Kimmel.

He then playfully insisted that Kimmel call the New York Times and recite a pre-written statement, adding a touch of humor with a mention of a "hardcore lesbian."

The entire exchange is captured in the clip, and there's even a Trump joke to enjoy towards the end.

Nathan's comments were met with mixed reactions from social media and 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' fans.  

Fans wonder if 'things are scripted'

Reactions to the segment varied, with some expressing a sense of awkwardness between Emma, Jimmy, and Nathan, while others believed that Nathan's antics were part of a promotional campaign and that some people may have missed the comedic intent.

Fueling discussions, one wrote, "Not people thinking this is serious".

The same user further tweeted, "It's crazy bc these things are scripted and they're both clearly acting I get Nathan is not for everybody but I thought this would be a simple concept especially if you watch the show too."

Another quipped, seemingly losing out on the joke, "Worried I’m losing my sense of humor. I only thought the phone call was funny. The rest seemed awkward for Jimmy Kimmel and Emma Stone. It went on for way too long". 

Some even supported Nathan with one commenting, "Nathan is our cherry tomato king and I'm so glad he felt comfortable sharing his TRUE personality. Boomers, it's okay if you don't vibe with Nathan, his chill style might not be for you. And that's okay because you'll always have fun alternatives like The Big Bang Theory". 

Another wrote, "You haters just, like, don't GET him man...not like I do..."
