सफलता के पीछे किसी न किसी शख्स का हाथ होता है ओर आपकी सफलता के पीछे प्रशंसक था। आप ऐसे ही हंसते रहे खिलखिलाते रहे।

Very funny comedian

[@marijkedelange1860]

[@unowen-nh9ov]

Joan Rivers made 9/11 jokes, "We can meet for lunch @ Windows on the Ground!" Bill Maher was literally canceled for even mentioning the subject, no joke. Famous MTM ep. about death of Chuckles the Clown, Lou Grant explains we laugh @ the things that scare us. Keep laughing, Matt! & keep us laughing.❤

[@warmcozy]

He’s hilarious.

[@arlenegraham8939]

Congraulations Matt. My mom would love you ❤

[@charlesfranklinlambeth3944]

Love his crowd interactions…but the hair?!

[@yeesh9215]

Just something different, but yeah, I prefer the dark hair look. Makes his eyes pop.

[@robbierangi2450]

I agree ❤dark hair makes his beautiful features stand out. Must get boring for them too. Love the dark 🤣😂😂

[@RedLeo-pf9yo]

Yeah, the dark hair is way cooler.

[@elizabethcarter9028]

I was so surprised to see him in this unexpected interview; but Matt Rife is always my favorite comedian. :)

[@RedLeo-pf9yo]

Who is your second favorite comedian?

[@samanthalane5381]

I thought the joke was absolutely hilarious!!!

[@Queenebee455]

I Loved Matt since Netflix and beyond Hes So Handsome and Sexy I Love Men who keep it REAL and HE Definitely does ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@redflag4255]

Bro has gone full Ellen

[@sandrarainey1019]

👍

[@starbug345]

I don’t understand this

[@leasatilley9799]

I think he is a fine looking young man But he needs to dish the blonde hair and go back to Brown hair. I don't think blonde is for him. But of course that's just me there's millions who may think different. Best of wishes Matt

[@kattengat2]

He looks like he’s starting to transition.

[@travenbaker4116]

😂😂😂😂

[@kattengat2]

@ so was Bruce Jenner.

[@unowen-nh9ov]

@@kattengat2 That was menopause.

[@RedLeo-pf9yo]

That’s what I was afraid of. Let’s pray for him to go back to the dark hair and get back to normal.

[@JudithBaranowsky-lu8dq]

Your a very handsome man, the blonde hair does not look good 😮

[@unowen-nh9ov]

@@JudithBaranowsky-lu8dq He was going to do a Rebel Yell Tour, then Billy Idol's people told him they needed the name for an anniversary tour. They didn't need the hair back.

[@DebbieElleras]

I hope that you said that you have a girlfriend and that is me

[@KittyTwisterXxL]

@@DebbieElleras 😂 that is so adorable

[@KY-iy2xd]

Go back to brown hair

[@adityasarvankar4168]

Glow down

[@jeanettesizemore4607]

Don’t like the blonde hair

[@stevenromano6771]

Definitely gay

[@Myke664]

It’s a matter of time before he starts a podcast pitching softball questions to authoritarians or billionaires.

[@knox1044]

Ah too bad. I always liked him too, but the fact he's on ABC just put him in the toilet for me.

[@calpharmdoc501]

He has No talent!

[@unowen-nh9ov]

& lots of it!

[@RedLeo-pf9yo]

Well, he’s far from the best stand-up comic, but he’s great at doing crowd work.

[@unowen-nh9ov]

@@RedLeo-pf9yo How do you think he gets those crowds to do that work?

[@unowen-nh9ov]
