Chris Gethard Would Prefer To Laugh About His Depression

[@AlanaRogers]

damn he's a cool dude. so great to see a public figure talking openly and casually about mental illness

[@janetsnakehole9345]

We should all be doing that.

[@NewMessage]

As a major depressive with severe anxiety issues, I agree wholeheartedly. Depressed doesn't equal deficient, as he proves so eloquently.

[@lzeph]

Kudos for having a channel with no content and yet 69 subscribers. You rock!

[@gamesandfun781]

Too many people think he's a notification app.

[@BethAnnMayberry]

I've never heard of this guy, but as a (slightly) funny person with (not so slightly) Chronic Depression, Anxiety Disorder, ADD, (and oh I wish that was all.), etc. I think I'm a fan. #FightTheStigma

[@Luminitha]

God, I love Chris Gethard. I can't believe they didn't even mention his podcast, though! That's my favorite thing he's done.

[@HanzieTay]

heyyy I had no idea he has a podcast! Thanks for pointing this out for me! haha

[@eureekasprings]

Yay Beautiful/Anonymous!!! I'm a fellow Geth-head!

[@itxy4283]

Eureeka Springs Ay same

[@grahamwynn2227]

Great guy really honest

[@bred9178]

How have I never heard of this guy? He's hilarious!

[@anshgrover3793]

This was an all-around incredible interview. Dont even know who he is but well done

[@lzeph]

I didn't know who he was either. When he mentioned 'spoilers' I paused this to find and watch the dumpster episode of his show... then subscribed to his channel. =-)

[@GameAdict92]

He's stand up comedy is great

[@hurleyp6]

Yeah dude. It's a fantastic episode right!!

[@greatleapforwards]

his podcast is strangely voyeuristically satisfying

[@yaboioof3229]

It's Hugh Jackman

[@chickenspy1854]

His podcast not mentioned in the video is called Beautiful Anonymous and it is an amazing podcast if you are ever in the mood for something different. He basically interviews (much in the fashion of a late night show) complete strangers over the phone. There are a few rules that make it interesting: 1) He isn't allowed to learn the name of the stranger and the stranger is supposed to keep as much info a secret as possible 2) He isn't allowed to hang up the phone no matter the conversation but the stranger can hang up at any time 3) The phone is set to automatically hang up at one hour 4) He has to play along and talk about whatever the stranger wants to basically It's pretty amazing and eye opening, honestly. One of my favorite podcasts.

[@SumanthKrishna14]

ChickenSpy yup I just got to know about him via Spotify and it's amazing. Got here from the podcast beautiful anonymous

[@DvdRC9702]

Holyshit, it's Hugh Jackman. I bet he loves to snap.

[@macmalina]

Extra Large Cheese Pizza!

[@lauriecoulthard5252]

I struck Patrick Stewart's child!

[@awolpete10]

He's telling us about his charity...

[@violentd530]

in the cityyyy.... city of PIZZA

[@Jackmonster3231]

What Chris said about anti-depressants is information that I hope gets more widely disseminated for the benefit of suffers of depression + anxiety. I was one of those who thought that if I took anti-depressants I suddenly lose all my creativity and my self, but I eventually reached the point where I asked myself "Is this even living?" and 'caved' by getting a script. Boy was I wrong. I had always been someone who admired and appreciated the arts but was never able to produce anything of my own but as soon as I went on AD's it was like the dam was broken and my creativity could flow freely. Just as anxiety + depression can motivate creativity, your cliche tortured artist types, it can also inhibit it in the worst of ways. If you're someone who is declining treatment because of these fears fuck em. Don't take all the internet hype about side effects to heart like "I started taking lexapro and my dick fell off." Take that information in, definitely keep it in mind so you know what's going on in the event side effects do occur, but don't let these sensationalized reports scare you from getting real help.

[@AwesomesMan]

Gethard's show is really great. Everyone should check it out.

[@cullencochran3393]

This guy is a comedian in his bones, skin and blood. A true comedic thinker and a gifted artist.

[@judygamboa102]

There was no mention of his wonderful podcast Beautiful Stories from Anonymous People. It's doing pretty well and those of you who haven't heard it should look into it.

[@hughhobbs4439]

GETHARD IS THE BEST! Adore his work!

[@EdsCollegeLife]

2:55 "We hate it when are friends become successful"

[@shoelaze128]

Stephen brought up Gethard's junk and Chris didn't even mention the highlight of his career: "Looking at Dicks in the Dark"... smh you've changed man, Hollywood Gethard...

[@unknowndefault]

I thoroughly enjoy Chris Gerhard's interviews. He comes across as a pretty sincere guy.

[@wantmyfritos1]

great interview! I'm gonna check out his show for sure

[@Code_Geel]

When he said "Spoilers" I stopped the video and watched his show. Never seen it before, but it is super funny!

[@timhulsizer]

2:19 deserved a bigger laugh

[@krudmonger]

There was some weird sound editing at that point; there was probably a bigger laugh but I think they must have had to tweak something for time or editing or whatever. Though now I'm wondering what the unedited version sounded/looked like.

[@ChrisTheEnigma]

Colbert was laughing but no sound came out.

[@CptnBillHarris]

He has a really great comedy album called My Comedy Album. Just saw lots of people who'd never heard of him before, so thought I'd point people in the right direction.

[@godisdead34]

To be fair, it wasn't Paul Giamatti's first time in a dumpster (The Amazing Spider-Man 2). At least this dumpster wasn't on fire.

[@xsoursipsoflifex]

I love this guy! Anyone else remember Chris from CollegeHumor as C snap and Hugh Jackman?

[@filteredcreativity9409]

Damn it Gethard you did me proud

[@ra6ul]

I knew I'd seen this guy before. He was one of Dwight's friends (hitman) on the The Office.

[@janetsnakehole9345]

Yup

[@AngeliaChanel]

the play is amazing 💜

[@DoctorDork]

I feel his pain so hard.

[@rachelisagrapefruit]

I love his podcast

[@imacg5]

3:48 Stephen looked really threatened

[@JasminMiettunen]

I just want to like almost every comment here. Awesome that he's being so open and maybe that'll destigmatize mental illnesses. Most importantly, he's funny as hell 😂 That closing joke was hilarious!

[@StewChicken42]

Bless you Chris :)

[@ArrestedDeveloper]

Hollywood Gethard! All his shows are on KZbin from his fusion network episodes to the crazy public access days and they're all amazing.

[@Mst3kfan1994]

First became aware of the guy just a little bit ago when he guested on the Blank Check podcast. Seems like a really funny guy. Happy for his current success.

[@JPMJPM]

It’s Dwight’s weird friend from The Office! Angela hired him to kneecap Oscar!

[@youmeandi100]

wow anxiety comes in so many forms

[@TheCaptainzorno]

No mention of Beautiful Anonymous?

[@Noodlebrah]

Dumpsters: What things are in the dumpster? Are there things in the dumpster? Let's find out!

[@tonycooper4437]

First Cummings now Gethard? 😂

[@sravyavemuri7926]

Ikr 😂😂😂

[@tonycooper4437]

+Asim Deyaf Yes, completely normal alien names

[@tonycooper4437]

+mipmipmipmipmip Thank you. Not going to fact check that just going to enjoy it.

[@tonycooper4437]

Making immature jokes to learning. Internet, a magnificent and terrifying creature you are

[@NewMessage]

Googling Colbert, Gethard, Cumming is gonna bring up actual results in three.. two... one...

[@cindyshtoodle]

What's happening to his fingers at 4:40??

[@WilliamRWarrenJr]

"You have an eleven and a half-foot shoe??" ROTFL, it don't quite work that way, Stephen ... =@@= (fist-bump?)

[@gamesandfun781]

It's a popular stereotype/myth therefore in comedy terms, perfect.

[@msfattytroll]

Can confirm Size 13 shoe, tiny dick

[@peterwonaprize]

This man is doing God's work.

[@EXD09]

Of all things I could take from this yet one thing that stuck out to me is. Hey I have the same shoe size as Stephen Colbert.

[@TheRubberStudiosASMR]

Sounds like a really awesome guy. I wish I could be his friend

[@abemagic10]

excellent *******

[@alfatazer_8991]

Is it surprising that a man with the name Gethard would have a large 'shoe size' as well?

[@writerjennachan]

I feel the same way about cabinets.

[@MimiYuYu]

I am one of those guilt of leaving them open...

[@brucebaker810]

I'm checking Chris out here after loving his guest appearance on the podcast Tell Me Something l Don't Know. I'll be scanning for more. Meanwhile... At last! The hitherto deprived folks who want (need?) to see extended footage of - great actors (or just Important People) - stuck (imprisoned/entombed?) - in trash receptacles (or perhaps, more generally, large metal boxes; or perhaps, more generically, any large container). ...are finally beginning to be accepted and supplied. #AllKinksMatter

[@UAlredyKnowWhatItIss]

beautiful anonymous podcast is a great listen

[@DiogoF.]

Intelligence hurts; it is curious how depressed people are usually very smart folks.

[@entertained...]

+DDLondonBridge i dunno, to me it's more about awareness/education; basically, ignorance really is bliss.

[@juffan]

"Maybe Chris could advertise for his lack of a father figure on that massive forehead of his." - A line from 2009 CollegeHumor All-Nighter Impromptu Roast of Chris Gethard Chris has always reminded me of Rocko from Rocko's Modern Life

[@ScrubCityMayor]

I thought he was doing a bit when he walked up to Stephen like a robot lol

[@amalgamaxx]

I know why he's depressed, when he was in school everyone probably called him get hard!

[@mariovega7611]

I reckon kids would be a little bit more creative than that

[@Quinnknights]

you give school kids too much credit :P

[@none4530]

^^ Yeah especially to you mate. It's "too" by the way :)

[@Quinnknights]

Alex Creed noted & corrected. My Dyslexia is a burden i must carry.

[@briteboy6131]

max ruggles he has a bit about that!

[@bmla88]

“The chris gethard show sponsored by Viagra”

[@alazrabed]

But Time Phone is such a great idea!

[@navrotron22]

Hugh Jackman looks different

[@funnystuff1987]

pure "comedy gold"!

[@torkener9142]

Wow, Hugh Jackman!!!

[@danielleschumacher1120]

Chris, my husband does the same!

[@rachelcaseyNJ]

GETHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

[@chillsalmon]

hugh jackman is such a great guy

[@dustypartition]

I've been pronouncing it "get-hard" this whole time.

[@ljfleming9655]

C-Snap!!!

[@Zoe26i]

Sounds more like OCD than anxiety

[@watermalone7432]

I was like... " Tom Arnold lost a lot of weight "...my bad

[@kaceesavage]

My wife if is too a sufferer of chronic cabinet Ajarness. CCA. You're not alone.... Stay strong brother.

[@Zazzatron]

i call him c-snap because he likes to snap.

[@NickTheNewbie]

great timing on talking about the dumpster. a week later and it would have been crass....

[@justlou820]

Chris Gethard and Jenny Lawson should do something together... In my opinion.

[@Callipygous1975]

He should do a Woody Allen impression.

[@MrTweedlerdslol]

hugh jackman

[@pseudonayme7717]

Gnomes have big feet :D I like him. Seems a little bit like Woody Allen.

[@juliakennedy8555]

OK is nobody seeing Woody?

[@abemagic10]

i'd like to know what meds he's on :)

[@GiantSandles]

I'd prefer to laugh about his name

[@thagrammarnazi]

HOLY SHIT IT'S HUGH JACKMAN

[@evilpub]

His name

[@i_curious]

No #beautifulanonymous plugin?

[@eboethrasher]

I fail to see why Chris didn't say "I know it's over"

[@Anthonycheesman33]

take a shot evryrtime he says its live on his show

[@buttmcgee76]

jesus christ, hugh jackman!

[@HelgaCavoli]

Get-hard? Ah, these last names..

[@haygantigers]

EXTRA LARGE CHEESE PIIIIIZAAAAAAAAA!!!!

[@YodatheHobbit]

I had moth eggs in my bag of rice (that looked just like rice) when I left a kitchen cabinet open. Trust me, there are consequences.

[@MrRandomname010101]

This guy's name is Chris Get Hard

[@MrRandomname010101]

I don't care if 69 other people already said it. I just had to.

[@ViperPilotSleepy]

His nickname is Chris Besoft and our government loves selling him pills.

[@Abby_dul]

Omg it's Hugh Jackman

[@gp2917]

He hosts the what on the which? Am I that old already?

[@briantravelman]

What? Paul Giamatti? I watched that episode and they said it was Toby Maguire.

[@MikhailKalashnikovMiG]

We all know that's not how you really pronounce his last name

[@mattm3729]

It would be really exacerbate things if this were my surname and I had erectile dysfunction

[@Nay-kp6uu]

Chris WHAT!? Wtf man

[@1MysteryZ1967]

Yo’, Chris Gethard! You should’ve played one of the Hobbits! 🍻

[@史昊珩-q5j]

Obviously Hugh Jackman...

[@damianprice8422]

I don't know who this guy is(forgive me, I'm English), but I read his name as 'chris get hard'. did anyone else think that as well, or Was that just me?

[@TerrorBlades]

Im right there with you... get herd.... getherd.... what is that, German?

[@neilcheeseburger]

He thoroughly talks about it on stage.

[@HELLO_KORO]

Didn't this guy do music with childish Gambino

[@redleader]

This guy needs to play a young woody allen....He is a dead ringer...mostly.

[@youjustwastedasecondofyour6293]

Woody played by Gethard! :D

[@redleader]

yes so we all agree??? You read it / heard it here first!! I bet you he is already talking to someone about doing it. Maybe even the Man himself...Just think...He could do an AnnieHall sequel!!! Fuck yeah!!!

[@TheDeciderGod]

Am I the only one who read his name as Chris Get-Hard?

[@shaniatemena1256]

Beautiful Anonymous

[@EmpyrealStudios]

62nd!

[@adamblister6005]

Gethard? Get Hard? Seriously?

[@AsaNuru]

8 uploads a day all at once is getting really fucking annoying, just upload the whole fucking show at this point

[@AsaNuru]

right click link to current time

[@neightneight1280]

Young looking, but Gethard's entire hairline is sliding back off his head..

[@kaboose111]
