Who is this guy? Why haven't I heard of him before? I went in cold, not knowing he was a comedian, either. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. That was freaking epic. Thank you, Chris Distefano!

[@x.jaynine]

please watch his podcasts! they’re all top tier 🔥

[@mandalynn33]

Chrissy Surprise

[@mariolongtin8271]

Watch his podcasts and stand ups. They are great! He's one of the funniest comedians of our generation!

[@johnsimth6587]

You're lucky, you've got so much stuff to dig through. He's hilarious as hell and part of the podcast crews so theres a LOT of content.

[@janeltranmer2284]

Thank you for the recommendations. Am looking forward to the discovery process!😊

[@johnstewart1367]

Nice to see legit comedians getting the recognition they deserve

[@hemigoleo]

It’s scripted before. But he actually comes up with em in the script.

[@muximus2771]

Going on Jimmys shitty show is like the opposite of recognition. Chris deserves better.

[@fuhleep7734]

@@hemigoleoyeah it’s called a bit

[@roytrevisan3491]

Speaking of legit comedians I see you are going back on the Daily Show to help crush any hopes that Orange Foolious might have of winning again.😆

[@mandalynn33]

I’ve heard this story 100x and I still listen every single time he tells it. Huge Chrissy fan 🩵🩵🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@strongsistersunited]

It never gets old 😂

[@Chris_Hruska]

somehow every story he has is hilarious. the NYC accent makes it even better!

[@ginadefranco7651]

me toooooo , big fan

[@thinkplanetearth2946]

Such a great storyteller. One of my favorites is when he was a kid and his father went to his school to talk the principal out of expelling Chris because he had hit a classmate over the head with a chair and his dad winds up threatening the principal when he said there's nothing to be done. It is hilarious.

[@canakn8685]

The 9/11 story!

[@drofresco]

I’m taking this segment up with Bloom Cafe.

[@seancarey3556]

Maybe you should take it up with bloom Cafe

[@josephsmith4js]

allegedly 😅

[@S317537]

Hope Chris got to see Natalie Portman 😅 Bring him back, he is so funny!

[@joannerichard8405]

This guy is awesome. Today is the first time I am seeing him. His father stories are hilarious 😂😂😂

[@solarczyk49]

Chris is a great comedian, I personally like his jokes. I hope he will be excellent in the entertainment industry too. Regards.

[@boris2835]

entertainment industry what? standup is part of it... U mean movies?

[@Ottophil]

@@boris2835he means tv, movies, you know not podcasts and standup. Its clear

Krissy Kimmels! 😂 NO ONE can tell a story like Chrissy, yes or yes? 😊

[@Ohsolovely2]

He’s a great storyteller

[@D_A_Marv]

His dad stories are hilarious and I am crying laughing 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@carlito3624]

Anybody else really proud to see Chrissy doing big things like this?!

[@mads4724]

Being so deep in the podcast comedy scene it blows my mind that some people don’t know legends like Chris.

[@Hwarang-lee.]

I love chris, babe keep up the great guest your getting this show back on track

[@Roy-G-Biv]

Chrissy Chaos is the best. Fun fact , he bought a house in SI and sold it 6 months later because it had too many rooms and it was too spacious. He moved back to Queens and lives in a small apartment with 5 people.....gotta love Chrissy !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@EasyTiger.01343]

“He bought a house in SI and sold it 6 months later.” - so he’s definitely a brain half full kinda guy…

[@FernandoPina]

Love this guy so funny.

[@policevanposition1993]

I love Chris. I personally think the funniest comedian out there.

[@fmatta]

Chrissy is looking great! Love his comedy

You can see Chris is still having trouble calling Jasmine his wife he needs to propose already

[@Ddal0ceano]

Seriously. More credit to the girls' mom pls!

[@Sun_Cat_Pop]

Anyone who knows.... knows somebody's no longer leading man face, best friend body Now it's chiseled cheekbones on a slim & trim, smokin' hotty-totty body 🔥🔥🔥

[@awill891]

Always weird to see a "podcast guy" on TV. It's like running in to your teacher at the store when you're a kid.

[@AirWindFire]

@@user-kj7nw4zg1yI knew his podcast work before his stand up. It’s not an insult to be a “podcast guy”…unless you’re Schaub.

[@awill891]

@@user-kj7nw4zg1y He's also an actor and a father but I refer to him as a "podcast guy" cuz that's how I consume his content.

[@user-kj7nw4zg1y]

​@@AirWindFire oh one of those guys huh I feel bad that you feel the need to hate on someone like that. He was a world class fighter that turned his fame into a different career. People like you are just jealous without even realizing it 😂 is he the best person in the world? Probably not but I guarantee he's a better person than anyone who wastes time hating on him.

[@MangoslicePapaya]

Yeaah Chris Distefano!!! He is awesome ,wholesome and hilarious :)

[@gnlilu6972]

I love Chris! 💗 I love his stories! He is freaking awesome 🤩

[@postatility9703]

Just saw him with Bill Maher.He's a genuinely fun guy,and a natural comedian/storyteller, who would be a great hang.
