This man has lived a horrific life, the fact that he can laugh about it is.. superhuman. Fucking incredible.

[@kyleolin3566]

My mom was schizophrenic, and her sickness took her life when I was 7. My brothers and I have all 3 of the Titus sitcom seasons on DVD. Very funny, and covered dark subjects that nobody else would talk about. Thank you Christopher Titus, for helping my family cope with some heavy shit

[@perrymehta6438]

Kyle Olin Titus is one of my favorite shows. I have all 3 seasons. He’s one of my favorite actors. Very underrated actor and show. It should’ve gone on longer

[@jamierichardson7683]

@@perrymehta6438 I searched and cant find it but he does a bit on what happened to the show. Think it's from his podcast but it is hilarious and insightful.

[@saymynameice-zen-berg511]

@@jamierichardson7683 you may know by now but his show is available in its entirety on his(Christopher Titus’ KZbin channel) he also did a revival, he brought back the whole cast and finished the series. To watch that revival- series finale you need to pay. But it’s very cheap.

[@st.michaelofcigarillo2845]

Has Titus come out of the closet yet?

[@slimpikin82]

It's truly inspiring how life Shit all over him and instead of crying in the corner he stood up and made it his business and very successful at that

[@JadeLotus17]

Titus is right up there in the comedy pantheon with Robin, Pryor, and Carlin in my eyes... in fact, that would be an amazing new Mt. Rushmore...

[@CTITUSCOMEDYUtube]

Fuckin love Norton! Thanks again for the spot Jimmy.

[@chloecusimano3710]

What a life you lived dude I love your comedy talking about dark subjects with a twist

[@2kanchoo]

I still miss his tv show. That shlt was HILARIOUS!

[@mehbobotorp2373]

It took me years to find them on DVD. And to this day, I place that show on the same pedestal as Seinfeld. One of the greatest comedy shows to ever hit the air.

[@signlsirchir2156]

@@mehbobotorp2373 missed it dearly the episode where the old man faked a heart attack to avoid, uh fuzzy thing in his lap.

[@swiftslick]

Dave was the best part of that show: "Waitresses make the best dates. Because after the sex, they bring you stuff".

[@mehbobotorp2373]

@@swiftslick Dave was really dope, but to be honest, every character on that show was really really well crafted and well-executed. From Erin to Titus' Mom to Erin's crazy parents, even Principal Wells. Honestly... that entire show was absolutely amazing.

[@redram5150]

“Titus” was a great show. My friends and I watched it every week. Actors were wonderful. You can never go wrong with Stacey Keach. And the guy who played Dave was priceless. “Hey, Dave...COW” “That doesn’t work every time!” *turns head to see cow*

[@danielstewart7163]

Dave was Zach Ward. He was also in the 2nd Resident Evil movie, he was the soldier/cop that was done in by the infected dobermans. He is funny and does an excellent stoner.

[@3ShotTGK]

Zach just played the grown version of Scott Farkus

[@alisongunther6486]

Glad I watched this. I’ve watched Titus’ comedy so many times that I can recite portions and these explanations make certain parts make SO much more sense. ❤

[@amywarfield8913]

I love Titus!! I've been watching him since his show was on TV in the 90's!! He is sooooo underrated!!

[@Azuth65]

Jim's face when Titus answers literally EVERY question... It's amazing, thanks for putting this up on KZbin.

[@3ShotTGK]

I love Titus, watched every one of his stand ups and his life is proof that none of us match up to being fucked up

[@re9246]

It really makes his TV show that much more heartbreaking. Knowing how long he loved and how passionate a love for his exwife he had. It really is astonishing.

[@joeski1073]

This man saved my life. I told him when I met him back in 2016. I've been a fan since his show first aired. He showed me that you can heal through comedy and not drugs or alcohol

[@845835]

I have the utmost respect for someone like Titus and how he has been able to carve out a life for himself under the worst of situations.

[@PistonAvatarGuy]

Ah, man, don't apologize for not making jokes about your sister's suicide, that's not even remotely necessary. He's talking about his sister's suicide, but is concerned about whether or not his audience is entertained! That is a baffling attitude to have, and it's both crushingly depressing and strangely uplifting ... I don't even really know what to think about that. What an amazing dude. Few people can hold my attention for 45 minutes, but he managed to. ...and he's a car guy!

[@Barneyrubble241]

Wow Titus man. Holy shit dude. I'm so glad you got through all of this shit. You deserve some real happiness.

[@cherifinkbiner8393]

Titus, I miss your show more than you will ever know~

[@sjrobins88]

Wow, I never realised Titus was such an interesting dude. I will definitely listen to more of his standup.

[@MyNameIsntRyan]

watch his show

[@LeviDavidSchaffer]

tridenthardnstuff love is evol is a great special

[@dlwatib]

His life has been a real horror story. It's amazing that he can joke about it and sincerely say "life is good" now.

[@grrmisfit]

listen to his skit about bruce springsteen.. had me in tears

[@82PeRK]

how could you not, he talks about his life in his stand up

[@CS-pi5oc]

Titus u r such a winner in life. U deserve it as we all do.

[@jasongarcia9614]

That was a nice Bill Burr impression lol 😁😀

[@yeaman992]

Trust your gut guys! Man my heart hurts for him, he should have left way earlier but hindsight is 20/20.

[@MulTfrancis]

Love this interview. Love that he respected attell and jimmy. And hearing him talk about his mom and sister made him wicked relatable.

[@CLuvTravels]

When Jim asked Titus, "have you been married before"? I realized he knows absolutly nothing about Christopher Titus

[@Stumbo99]

I love Titus and and Jim Norton, this is freaking awesome

[@82PeRK]

This guy is soooo cool. great voice and even better story teller. funny as hell. i remember i used to watch his sitcom. i liked it

[@JP_Vang]

Titus is the most underrated comic ever. His specials always have my laughing until I cry. One of the best out there and not a lot of people know it.

[@stormcorrosion176]

[@karenbishop5885]

Life is so harsh, Titus makes me laugh when I feel like crying, I think that is amazing.

[@mischiefmikeyo]

Always thought this guy was genuine and a great story teller. Makes for a great comic

[@kimbraohagan-perez1837]

Big fan for years from his T.V. show to all his stand up. Always wondered why it left the air.... Some day I would love to see him LIVE! GO TITUS!!

[@milesmayhem5440]

The show got canceled.

[@jasoncripe5985]

Wow, this made me totally flashback to my marriage except my wife behind my back and got an abortion while she was cheating and I did the same thing on stage ranting,was one of my best sets I ever did when I did stand up, humor is a great out let for life's trials. Thanks and stay strong man.

This guy had me laughing so hard my family thought I was having a heart attack.

Thanks for being open and sharing. Great show, thanks chaps :)

[@arczealdesigns9512]

I feel your pain Titus same shit happened to me! Thanks for sharing!

I appreciate him sharing his family problems- we ALL have deep dark secrets & one day it would be great to not feel as if we have to hide our mental issued in our families

[@Nick-Stewbreeze]

He uses his demons the best he can to bring joy, i can relate. im also happy he didnt kill himself and leave his children hangin. My son is the only reason i keep going.

I love Titus so much because I went through the same thing he did only with my husband. I can laugh about it now but it is so painful in the moment. And he is right that you trust so much you don't see it coming. And yes you can't fix people.

Poor guy hope he finds true love hang in their chris their is a reason why your here your comedy is awesome :-)

29:23 when he’s talking about doing a bit too long reminds me of a road comic I saw not long ago who was still doing bits about the Ford Explorer/Firestone scandal from the late 90s. That tired joke could be driving an Explorer right now

[@sepehrjamali]

So much respect for this guy. I watched his comedy before but never knew about his past, honestly he is so strong, even faking it is hard. I feel like pussy for getting depressed because of the minor problems in my life

[@ryanfoley670]

great interview

[@hippa2dahoppa2]

my friend dragged me to see this guy at a comedy show. i had no clue who the fuck he was i tried explaining i was more into the bill burr and norton comics etc but he really wanted to go and said this was his fav comic so i went. it wasnt relaly my taste of comedy it was kinda light but i had a pretty fun time overall. he did alot of crowd interaction talking to people which was fun and a bit nerve wrecking since we were right up front. titus stayed after and talked to every single person to take pictures and autographs. i thought that was really good of him. i know people do that to increase merch sales, but he was pretty genuine and nice and spent a decent amount of time joking with each person.

Next time, maybe some punctuation?

[@rubyhunternc]

I'm 75 years old and Christopher, I have loved your sense of humor ever since your original sit com. You are such a nice person in your personal life that is a hard thing to find these days. I wanted to comment on what you were saying about taking a cold shower. I've been taking a very hot shower and then turning it to cold since I was a teenager. I had read back then that athletes take full hot showers until you've washed your hair and your body and while your body is steaming hot the just turn the shower knob to full ice cold and stay in it for a while. Believe me, you won't feel a shock of the cold water at all after the hot shower. You can hardly feel the transition, it's exhilarating, and refreshing. Try it that way.

I am 46 years old and have been a fan of Christopher Titus for over 10 years now. A lot of the stories he tells about his family hit so close to home, but he is able to pull out the humor of the same type of situations that I went through also but couldn't see myself. Thank you for helping me get through a lot of bad memories and show me that there are spots in those memories that I can actually smile, and even laugh about.

[@dknox90803]

Omg Poor Titus.... That divorce story is heart breaking as could be. What a dark story, it is inspiring that he kept moving on and didnt let that situation end him.
