Brian Regan on Craig Kilborn show, part 1 - 1999

Brian Regan preforms on the Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn. I think this is from 1999.

[@CaptainCrunchOwns]

I'm offended by how little laughter I hear. This man is amazing.

[@joshuagaldys2049]

“you guys are alright” lmao

[@gumonthepants]

Hard to believe this crowd is barely following this,.. i’m over here, 21 years later, just dying. Truthfully I never really looked into Brian Regan until this week. I guess when he was having his heyday I was living in New York City listening to the Opie and Anthony show and they used to have him on every now and again and especially they loved to play samples of his work or mimic him, now I totally get it. Thank God for KZbin!

[@janoahtindell8999]

I have seen him live, several times, love him. 😍🤣🤣

[@danerose575]

I think the most amazing thing about Brian is he likes himself, accepts himself and projects that on to the audience. What I enjoy most is being around someone who is comfortable with every moment of his routine and still enjoys it. That's infectious in the best way. It seems even more impressive that he has done some jokes over 1000 times and he still enjoys the audience and enjoys them enjoying the joke.

[@pnutbutrncrackers]

Tepid, tepid crowd. All 13 of 'em.

[@rickcaffee9690]

I was wondering why the audience was so quiet too. He's my favorite comedian. The first time I heard that routine I laughed so hard my stomach hurt.

[@whitedevil2]

he was using some of his best stuff and the audience barely reacted. what's their problem?

[@gumonthepants]

LOL, I totally agree, though I am just barely watching Brian for the first time here at 21 years later and I’m just dying, I’m busy catching up with all his acts here on KZbin. Yeah I’m guessing he was just sort of ahead of his time?

[@vshrum]

Agreed. Was there 7 people in the audience?!

[@babyjessicascheekbones5463]

I could crush some cranchops right about now...

[@redwood1133]

Love him love him! genius

[@patrckhh20]

I've noticed stand up doesn't work in situations like this. It's awkward, and the comedian has no time to connect with audience. No matter how funny the jokes are, they just never really land. Brian did this same bit in his comedy central special and had the audience in tears.

[@youaregoingtolovethis]

He doesn't even have to tell jokes.or even say one word The face he makes I would always laugh my ass off when he does that crossed eyes weird twisted mouth confused stupid look. Never gets old.

[@budprepper3811]

The audience is in the morgue ☠

[@mattbailey7049]

Craig didn't exactly build him up in the introduction. In fact he introduced him very sarcastically. That couldn't have helped

[@TheHolyLorf]

Yeah it really was. I thought that right off the bat..

[@LTCDave88]

We all noticed the crappy audience. Then again, Brian DID go word for word on a routine we've all heard before, and at the end used the "you guys are (only) 'alright,'" instead of "great." So he got THEM back! :-)

[@tetsuoswrath]

Nice. I just noticed that. :{J

[@a5dr3]

Yep. Great set awful crowd.

[@michaell.8938]

Dead crowd.

[@peterandolph7628]

I’m thinking this particular group of people had never heard of Fig Newtons, cranberries or pancakes. Could have been that tourist group that had just arrived from the Sudan via the chicken crate section of Jolly Fats Weehawken Airlines.

[@wroughtironmgtow9558]

Craig kilbournes show was always a big disappointment.Brian always on point and great as usual.

[@ajenni01]

@CaptainCrunchOwns "you guys were alright!"

[@steelcantuna]

I think Brian just does a lot better with his "own people" in a crowd. To me just much funnier. Maybe he's more relaxed.

[@AnnaElizabethI]

Bad management. He’s funnier than Seinfield.

[@MitsuoRLCoach]

something feels more authentic about 90s television

[@dario27]

Horrible crowd.

[@janoahtindell8999]

Also Brian Regan is so handsome 😘💋

[@evekurocieru]

people dont get that the audience at a talk show like this are often paid or were pulled in off the street tourists.. not even fans so thats why you dont get laughs like at a comedy show

[@michaeldonahue5068]

Who benzoed the audience's punchbowl?

[@whitedevil2]

@LTCDave88 in 1999, nobody had heard his routine yet

[@tetsuoswrath]

What's next? Mustard and mayonnaise in the same jar? :{J

[@privateuser4179]

Mustard and ketchup!

[@ObscurityIsBest]

Tough crowd.

[@Siggi395]

Craig who? Sounds like Brian Regan is such a nice guy that he's doing a pity show for this guy.

[@cantankerousoldman8941]

Funny guy. The audience was a dud.

[@Randsurfer]

what are you people talking about? The audience laughs every 5-10 seconds through the whole routine including some gut busters.

[@joeterp5615]

Wow - what a DEAD audience. But he soldiered on. His material and delivery were great - despite the zombies he was performing for.

[@trafficvegas]

@CaptainCrunchOwns he grows on you. he'd need to open real strong for them to appreciate his style. it's dry, bland. took me a while..

[@HarryBalzak]

Dry and bland? Are you on drugs?

[@dougroberts9821]

Brian is funny but you see the same jokes on pretty much every single video. 😡

[@kevinbuja4373]

I thought Kilborn was great.
