Charley has been my favorite artist for the past few years. I desperately want him to become a household name, he deserves it.

[@Gratefulman1965]

He is in my house. Been a fan for the last six years.

[@oregonghost3226]

Jordan Klepper interviews all people.. i love it

[@batgurrl]

I’m loving Jordan Klepper as the guest host. I loved Charley’s corny little quip when people ask him what his song is about and his answer was about 3 minutes

[@oracleofdelphi4533]

Klepper: What's a Farm Party? Charley: It's code for "Party on a Farm"

[@pipermccool]

Like Don McLean would answer back in the day when asked what “American Pie” meant: “That I never have to work again.”

[@sup393]

One of the best live shows out there. He's riding a rocket to the top. I've had the pleasure of seeing him twice

[@og3dkooz381]

Seen him 7 times over the past few years. Gets better every time! I'm so happy for him and the Blue Drifters.

[@forgottenhelm1299]

Same. Seen him in San Marcos and Houston. Ticket prices are RISING now

[@og3dkooz381]

@Forgottenhelm1 heck yeah they are! We saw him in Broken Bow OK for $25 a person and in Houston for $70.

[@forgottenhelm1299]

Get'm while they are affordable! I got a signed Man from Waco Poster framed and everything lol

[@og3dkooz381]

@Forgottenhelm1 absolutely. We have all his vinyls signed and a few CDs. We'll, we missed out on Waco signed 🥺 but got the rest! Haha

[@melm8142]

Absolutely love his song “ I am not afraid” Amazing artist amazing voice

[@ethon711]

Love Charley's work, and he's always so well dressed! Lol NPR desk performance was incredible, excellent performer

[@DisputeAmore]

Discovered Charley a month or so ago when his NPR Tiny Desk video released. I've been a huge fan ever since. If you don't know him or his music, definitely give it a listen. He's an amazingly talented artist!!!!

[@shethingsd]

Thanks for the recommendations. I love those concerts and have found artists I hadn't heard of before.

[@alro11]

i am sorry to say i’ve never heard of Charlie - but now i have!

[@ethon711]

I hope you catch up, he's worth the listen

[@robertk617]

ditto, I've never heard of him.....seems nice

[@sup393]

He's great catch him live. Nice humble man who is the real deal

[@Freiheit1232]

Check out colter wall too

[@CrimeForCrime]

Maybe give spelling his name correctly a chance as well.

[@angellemons5125]

Been listening to Charley for 4 years and never looked back proud of this cowpoke

[@Lithae]

I'm not a country fan but this guy has charisma.

[@mariepanimdim4303]

I’ve never heard of him before and I’m so glad to watch this interview with Charlie it puts tears in my eyes he’s so real so genuine I’m glad Jordan is interviewing him! ❤ it gives me hope

[@wehart2950]

I've been following Charley Crocketts hard work and dedication for many years. He's an amazing talent, and I'm so glad he's getting the attention and recognition he deserves.

[@palmsindy]

I love charley💛 Found him recently. Now, I could listen to him all day 🤩

[@maarten7]

Great interview. Jordan Klepper is the best! 💠

[@tharveytucker1]

Great interview! It’s tough to get much out of Charlie and Jordan did. Congrats!

[@forgottenhelm1299]

Amazing to see Charley rising into the spotlight! So cool!

[@patmcstuff671]

Jordan is the best interviewer out there! He squeezes golden nuggets out of folks

[@PaulHo]

Bro has a million dollar smile! 🥺

[@eyelessjack2660]

This dude seems so chill

[@pamelapeterson2987]

I'm a fan of all kinds of music from country to reggae to new wave and even K-pop, but never had any of Charley's music....I'm rectifying that today. Thanks for the great interview, Jordan.

[@conti2000]

What a great guy!! Cool, fun and grounded!! 👍🏼

[@phillipjames7743]

the nation needs more people like these 2 guys right now… this made me smile.

[@robertakinsiii]

Finally getting more love! Listen to Paint It Blue, Lesson in Depression, The Valley, 5 More Miles, 7 Come 11. His music is amazing!

[@Chromatomic]

I wouldn’t have expected Charley Crockett on TDS but he’s a great performer, started seeing him from some Americana channels a few years ago.

[@lsandoval8850]

Classic Charley, keeping it real

[@cassievining340]

He's got a unique style and I've enjoyed what I've heard.

[@YvetteRomero]

Charlie is so genuine, love that when he got a little nervous he took a brat and just spoke from the heart

[@TheRealOTK]

I've been a fan for like 6 or 7 years. It's been so cool watching him get bigger and bigger, completely organically. Dude is the definition of cool.

[@monicabayardo573]

Was blessed to see him open up for Willie Nelson in Austin 😊💕🪻

[@kaylamom3]

He’s won my heart 💜

[@pb74205]

Looking forward to see Crockett in concert!

[@tylerhackner9731]

I like this guy haven’t heard of him before

[@jackieedmondson8422]

I have never heard of this cowboy. But he is hysterical!! Great sense of humor which I would guess is reflected in his music.

[@user-rw7xd7qy3j]

LOVE Charlie C.

[@GauteBergNss]

I love both these guys!

[@Lithae]

I don't know why they've been avoiding it, but Klepper is the best host. They've known how popular he is... I wonder why they haven't given him the big seat for real and only now had him guest host?

[@alexjordanofficial1116]

He is defo the man for the job!

[@autumnsantomauroganggang]

I think because he is so amazing in the field!

[@77Creation]

They already gave him a show. Didn’t work out. He’s great doing field reports but I doubt they’re going to take a risk on him again. It’d be nice to see Ronny Chieng in at the desk. Or a woman though.

[@Lithae]

@TheHeavyMan When did they give him a show?? Must have been a while ago or poorly advertised since I haven't heard of it. I think his great field work really brought him into the spotlight but he seems to be doing great as host so far. I think he has been at the Daily Show longer than most others. He talked about being there with John Stewart, and remembering Roy's first day. He definitely has the experience. Not sure I can see Ronny as host, maybe Roywood Jr. But he has his own show too. I mean, a woman would be nice but I don't want them to fill the void with a woman just because theyre a woman. I want them to pick the person right for the job. I'd hate to see Klepper lose his chance because of the color of his skin and his gender after all the work he's put in. As an lgbtq+ woman, I love seeing represention, but I don't want them to force it because it's the social norm.

[@BFCgirl]

​@Serenity Lithae the opposition with Jordan Klepper was on for 1 season in 2017

[@robshelden4670]

“Truth or Consequences” is a town in New Mexico…Great line.

[@deesfreespirityoga4945]

I got it!

[@trulyuniquerentals9972]

Jordan Klepper so needs to be the permanent host. He’s such a natural - genuinely hilarious and so guest centered!

[@irishpete5472]

Authentic artist...now a rare thing.

[@hermanmunster714]

❤️ your music and spirit CC. Great interview too!

[@devh3573]

I appreciate that you just let Charley talk ...

[@user-us6py3gd6e]

What a fun interview. Charley Crockett is the one of the best

[@ms0824]

I like this dude. Never heard of him before.

[@meghandelavan9047]

Klepper for host!!! ❤❤❤

[@meghandelavan9047]

Charlie for guest! 😊😊😊

[@rico76]

I like Klepper too, but won't be mad if Roy Wood Jr gets it

[@jabbatf4951]

He deserves all the recognition, but I'm so shocked he is on the daily show

[@ronhowell4886]

Charley is incredible singer/songwriter.

[@dawsoncornelius3475]

Super nice do. I use to ring him up at the Lakewodd Whole Foods. People with that kind of friendliness and authenticity always stood out.

[@peaceworld5393]

Never heard of him, will look him up I’m from Waco, Texas!

[@cillid23]

Charley is the king of gulf coast boogie woogie...

[@tommyjohn_45]

Witnessing a living legend

[@infoscholar5221]

This fella is the real deal.

[@alicecampos-ayala3290]

7:11 you guys are hilarious. This is a great interview. Can’t wait to pass it on.❤ 7:19

[@anneefreres3299]

That Billy the Kid sou dyrack is one of my favorite albums EVER

[@budgibson185]

Real country! Been the boss for sometime now

[@vannah531]

I love him ! I’m so glad he’s getting the attention he deserves

[@cowabungakev]

Get your Cowboy Candy. Cheers to you Charley. Go get 'em!

[@tahirhunter]

I love him

[@williewillbby]

Y’all gonna upload the performance?? Cmon now. 🐊

[@loosieclocker]

Realest of the real. Charley don’t miss

[@corndog1768]

Great job opening up for Tyler Childers last night in Rogers Ar.

[@crystalsherman8896]

He is handsome

[@Rocksider2525]

The man. Charlie Crockett. Remember this guy. He'll be a staple in your life real soon. Just great stuff.

[@commentz-1]

Sounds like a cool country voice .

[@bethvan8978]

Finally! #TeamKlepper

[@daleblast5379]

This guys totally belongs on the Daily show. Sporting that Egyptian pagen sun worship necklace fits right in there😂.

[@chriskelly6559]

Klepp Man is all over cable and the Net, and I can't get enough. Roy Jr. is great, Jordan the same, maybe they could co-host?

[@annschram3860]

Blue Ox 2023 Charley is playing!!!

[@kateuhler7803]

Telling record 3xecs to kiss your behind was started by Ani Difranco in 1990

[@buffy2178]

Where the song?? So happy for you charley!!! 💓

[@shswnacallison7706]

How can you not appreciate Jordan? He's so talented!

[@lamars2486]

Lol the midnight cowboy lol

[@ricardofierro7041]

I thought it was a taco at first ( today IS taco Tuesday ) . Regardless I looked closer.

[@energymaven7537]

I just found out Charley was born with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome and a bicuspid aortic valve. The way he tells his story for the AHA inspires me to keep studying medicine.

[@cesheph]

Alot of rude people in these comments. For a target audience who is supposed to be accepting got alot of racial profiling and snide comments in the comments. We see you hypocrites. 👀

[@angellemons5125]

That's all I hear hypocrisy if the way of life it seems

[@EarthShadowFilms]

I filmed him on a train in the city when I was just traveling through myself. He was in a group called The Train Bandits

[@gatorgoforth3097]

The Train Robbers cause they were getting all that money on the subways!

[@EarthShadowFilms]

@@gatorgoforth3097 same friggin meaning init

[@larryjames8617]

Fun interview, but to correct some poetic license, Truth or Consequences was called Hot Springs, when Billy the Kid rode through.

[@ladowd7059]

🎶 "I CRIED ALL THE WAY FROM ATLANTA" 🎶

[@kenvenlo215]

Were is the performance???

[@treborretsnom6186]

Alright, let's do it 👍

[@bcx1138]

charley’s putting me to sleep 😴 but that’s a nice quality in a person. i’d pay him to read me bed time stories and chat while i fall asleep. it’s healthier than ambien. charley, ping me!

[@vaterunser3879]

I only got one question: Is there an Atlantic Northwest? O_o

[@williezar2231]

Bob might be calling you now, Charley.

[@disfugginguyyo8440]

He's clever!

[@hew195050]

I used to dream about cowboys when I was 12 BECAUSE I WAS 12!!

[@digger3578]

Now go see Tom segura’s cowboy hat bit. Hilarious.

[@HeatherFaraMS]

Not the right time, but if he comes back l would love a longer interview about being black or creole in his music genre. I imagine he’s had a bumpier and more colorful road in comparison to the likes of Dylan. I wonder who his influences were.

[@lfeb]

Cute 😍

[@StoneE4]

Yeehah!!!

[@f.prince6642]

8:26 did this fool just connect to that Kanye Level 👀

[@gmunden1]

He's a descendant of Davy Crockett.

[@MahlonbandNet]

Where's John Stewart?

[@karynhonor5046]

I think Klepper is hilarious

[@northwestlife2794]

Jordan he said the wailing jennies there a group check them out buddy

[@effieosborne7600]

Klepper is the one - the only one to lead this great team!

[@edwardbrownfield3710]

There are cowboys in Michigan.

[@LindaC616]

Yeah, Jordan is from Kalamazoo. It's hard for me to believe that, even if he grew up in the city, he's never been on a farm. That was crazy

[@LuckyJim5050]

Why not desi for host?

[@whatabouttheearth]

They'll probably get to her

[@Jekons]

She is guest hosting next week!

[@s.h.y.g.h.o.s.t.d.o.l.l]

"farms"......hey from a Humboldt County, California chick.

[@rockwrestling2495]

He has some nice teeth

[@lamars2486]

Like I said the midnight cowbou

[@kelvinalmonte9178]

Charley Crockett looks exactly like Steph curry in my eyes.

[@shards0fwords]

Very similar

[@gmunden1]

He does.

[@savagepro9060]

Nope, one is steph CURRY, the other is Steph MAYO

[@Cancun771]

At the next magat event, Klepper needs to try and find somebody who actually bought a Trump NFT.

[@TruthPrevails89]
