I love Canucks, but especially Jeremy, he's just so endearing and funny. I would love if he started a podcast or something ✌🏻🤘🏻❤️

[@colehara]

One of my favorite comedians.

[@MrBiggysmalls87]

Hes always been one of my favorite comedians. Such a different and memorable guy. Love the way he told jokes. What a MISERABLE product that is...

[@francoisroberge5882]

New years YukYuk's Ottawa Ontario 1982 - Jeremy and Mike MacDonald (both from the nation's capital) put on a super show I'll never forget. Now Jeremy is one of my favorite comedians.

[@brody3250]

Bless this man

[@standoughope]

He's so funny! I saw him in Los Angeles at The Laugh Factory and it was well worth my money.

[@mst3kanita]

This is the exact guy who needs a support dog. Love him.

[@coryleblanc]

no he's not disabled

[@christopher-gardner]

@@coryleblanc I don't think anyone said he is

[@johannaweichsel3602]

I love this guy, and a Papillon doggie, so adorable!!

[@josephpk4878]

Jeremy Hotz is an absolutely hilarious comedian and if you've never seen his stuff, you're missing out on one of the greats. Canadian comedians are the middle ground between Britain and America and the meld comes off as completely off-beat and original.

[@mokeyo8382]

I love him!

[@blackskrillexvevo]

man its rare seeing jeremy without the signature palm on his eye

[@mariellemartin7372]

I love Shack!!! 🐾 ♥

[@claudecousineau5811]

Other than a goalie facing a penalty shot, being a stand up comedian is on the long run the toughest job in the world, I discovered Jeremy Holtz only a few months ago he’s a riot. Better than he thinks is anxiety helps him keep on doing what you do cheers

[@charblinn617]

Love this Man 🤗

[@Dr.Pepper001]

I love that shit-eating grin Jeremy has during his act.

[@christopher-gardner]

Fun fact: You were surprised to hear him talk normally.

[@normal_media]

awww. that dog is adorable

[@EhNaturalHistory]

Agreed, if we have socialized medicine, it should include mental health treatment. Love yah Jeremy!

[@geraldbrown2875]

🇨🇦❤️‘S Jeremy & Shackleton!

[@fluffysugakookies9580]

I have anxiety too lol and I feel so comfy acting infront of professionals who judge my every move yet I get nervous infront of a school of kids who cant even hand in an assignment on time

[@MrTimmer46]

His voice is so different too;)

[@eg1416]

Wow I've never heard him talk normal before

[@jhonhall928]

He's on anti anxiety meds that have probably caused some weight gain. Always enjoy his material and delivery.

[@mrwonderfulhere2]

It's could also be middle age...he's been heavier for many years now...He's not especially tall so that also adds - that happens...no offense you're not a doctor...don't make assumptions...also not all anti anxiety meds would cause gain....still I see you are a fan...so glad you support one of our best

[@simplesimon1375]

Watching all the fake news gives anxiety

[@raipe76]

I like him

[@akidnamedjeffery9571]

He doesn’t sound like he wants to cry

[@Alinntatul]

i was thinking he would ruin his eyes from all that rubbing.

[@donalynette]

Jeremy, your personality is cute, hope you will deal better with anxiety. Best regards

[@marieguy576]

Anxiety can be caused by insecurity and rejection .

[@whyloechoedome8122]

Get out of the koolaid

[@2rudha]

blame the economics,economists and politicians

[@somosgenel]

Dang so Canadian Hilarious Dude does suffer from anxiety..... I thought it was part of his "stage persona"... Social anxiety and he is a hilarious stand-up comedian...

[@endertron3603]

i thought he was Danny Devito

[@monkey-trial...6578]

It's weird to hear his real speaking voice without that little giggle thing he does in stage. I don't know if I can handle the serious guy. Mind you people could say the same of me. In fact they have. . . .

[@steveleslie2170]

I wonder if he's still writing for Jay Leno.

[@Phicheee]

If he did, Jay Leno would be funny.

[@toprock2409]

Opti-Grab was the solution until recall.

[@mortgagefinancing5558]

He needs to get a pair of glasses that stop falling off his head

[@JuliasGallery]

Cannot be alone with a woman... hell, I'll date him. We can compare anxieties

[@Wspearman]

Holy crap! I have fear of beautiful women, I assume most guys do 🤷‍♂️ or do I have anxiety?

[@c0uchsl0uch]

EEEEK, I guess the ol' saying is true.

[@daviddixon8674]

That interviewer couldn't have just read the teleprompter correctly for 10 seconds.

[@PhilMimo]

The U.S gives the whole wide world anxiety .

[@devilsoffspring5519]

Especially all the countries they've invaded

[@Wspearman]

Holy crap! I have fear of beautiful women, I assume most guys do 🤷‍♂️ or do I have anxiety?

[@Nova902Scotia]

Tssss....rolling around on the floor tryin not to piss me self... Leave our military alone...noooo don't

[@kpmoringloapnow7616]

I love Jeremy, but this dude is really swollen upLOL

[@hectorgiuliani9885]

If Trump gave him material. Biden writes his own comedy gaffes.

[@petermeier729]

He's gained weight

[@SKa-tt9nm]

Peter Meier you will too

[@beverleyderby1536]

So what?

[@mushroombird9400]

Oh so sad he went political…..
