Don Lemon | Friend In High Places with Matt Friend

[@MarkSantoscoy]

Matt , Congratulations on your success !! Really enjoy watching you ! Your a breath of fresh air !! 😉

[@susanwest2522]

I'm more of a Matt Frend fan than a Don Lemon fan, but I did enjoy this. Matt is really a rising star!

[@stevebecker3368]

Matt, love that you included the last part of the interview. We are watching the evolution of a great talent. Your impressions are stellar but we are meeting the man behind the voices now. Cool👍

[@Zkbbkzzz]

This set is much more palatable. Thank you!

[@nadineperez2155]

You're going Big! What a great interview! Thank you Matt for sharing your many talents with us.

[@johnvastola7748]

The really good impressionists I have always found entertaining. I’ve seen maybe 20 very good ones in my 60+ years. Matt’s right up there with the best.

[@-danR]

He shouldn't try Don Lemon though. The voice is too generic.

[@robret13]

30 minutes in and great interview.

[@nepofitz]

The vibe of this podcast breathes greatness. I find the questions to be thoughtfully crafted, and it's fascinating to witness two talented people so deeply engaged in the conversation. I feel that if you just keep going stoically, this entity-the podcast itself-will gradually develop its own unique and indescribable life and essence even more. 😊

[@KL-gy2qz]

Watching Don Lemon laugh at the Tucker Carlson shriek is priceless. It never gets old or ages. A class act interview again from Matt!

[@nikkihoward9284]

You guys are the best.

[@linmasters]

LOVE THE SHOW SO MUCH. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK.

[@ThatGeekAndy]

Fantastic interview

[@heygodders73]

So much more than impressions. You’re sharp Matt. 💪 new fan

[@jjgreen5206]

I could listen to a whole show of Matt reading celebrity tweets

[@LindaSilber]

Well done! Thank you.

[@Neverland4747]

So happy for you, Matt. It appears you are remaining humble & grounded during your much deserved explosion 🎉❤

[@joshuadeleonardis6847]

The fact you are able to capture my attention for over an hour..priceless…

[@KarinaMiami65]

Excellent Interview. Love it when you interject with the impersonation. Love it. Keep it up good work.

"His horrid wretchedness" best nickname ever.

[@mcaffee]

Matt!

[@jdankerdake]

Not only is Matt Friend’s impersonation of Trump great - Shane Gillis also does an outstanding one, telling jokes as Trump - what makes Matt’s impersonation special is that he really gets into character. He says things that Trump would actually say.

[@DirectorDavoPaul]

Brilliant interviewer! LOve this! Funny af too!!!

[@habba929]

Lemon asked & said what I wanted- What do you see your trajectory as and You don't always have to be on, silence can be an amazing tool. Matt is getting better the more relaxed & comfortable he gets with it, less chaotic energy.

[@Maddizm]

Great Show...

[@slightlygrouchy]

I love this show so much, but it's hard to say why! Probably because Matt's interviews feel like a normal conversation with very intelligent participants.

Great show! Keep up the good work! Your Stern impersonation is epic level my friend!

[@nancun2837]

didnt know who Friend was until i saw him on bill maher.........he is more hilarious every time i see him🤣😂

[@alisong2328]

I always expect you to hear Donald Trump's voice coming from Matt Friend now. 😂

[@lisalivingston6473]

@alisong2328 I agree...it is spooky how well Matt nails Trump's voice and mannerisms, but for his sake, I hope he can evolve and expand his repertoire. I think it would be disappointing if Matt continued to be known mainly for his great impersonation of a former President and convicted felon...Matt is much too talented to allow himself to be pigeon-holed in that way. His Howard Stern, Andy Cohen and Mitch McConnell impressions are spot on, as well!

[@blakesterdrums1647]

I watched him on cnn from time to time...most nights would jump back and forth to msnbc, . 6.5 outta 10 in my opinion. Since being a free agent and doing things like this....8.5

[@Maddizm]

The Stern voice peeks out now and then 😂

[@Babybluejeans]

I heard that too.

[@LocalAmarillo_tv]

Iconic !? 😂

[@noelsmith1852]

The best was when he showed up to cover a riot wearing a Gucci chiffon 😂😂

[@bierstick]

When you go low, they go high?? You were losing it there, Matt ol’ Friend!

[@lisalivingston6473]

Matt, I really enjoyed this interview. I loved the advice Don Lemon shared with you, and your willingness to listen and consider it. I thought you seemed comfortable chatting with Don, and your impersonations were introduced into the conversation at perfect intervals during your podcast. I laughed when Don called out the closeted Republicans who act with a combination of creepiness and superiority over people. The sad thing is that it is not a crime to be gay, and if these men would simply live authentically and true to themselves, they could probably be much happier. The gay lifestyle may not fit with the MAGA crowd, but maybe that is a good thing. I agree with Don...I long for the day when traditionally conservative Republicans will regain control of their party and allow the Trump era and MAGA movement to wither away and be remembered as a fraught and damaging time in our country's history.

[@PoetlaureateNFDL]

Great show!

[@jackteravirgin3343]

So happy to see Don Lemon relaxed and enjoying this interview! BTW, trump loves Don lemon and wants to be liked by him.

[@tgirvin1969]

I thought this was Between Two Ferns for a hot minute

[@bierstick]

So Bonfire of The Vanities

[@AllenJacobVlogs]

Don Lemon has done work to say it’s great is a stretch

[@user-dt8hh9ni4r]

You forgot to insert the video intro 0:40-0:53

[@scavengertag]

lol I know

[@Maddizm]

D Lemon gave good advice for anyone, No when to Hold them, know when to fold them, D said Lean Back

[@ChrisBogart-kp2gf]

Matt Friend is totally mesmerizing. His focus is surgical but he makes it look so simple, the dude is a genius. It's not a wonder why Bill Maher told Matt, "dude you got it, you already won, you're set, you're the type that is going to keep going, or something like that. Its true you can tell. Matt got his own new Show, on the Bill Maher Network, Premiere Show interview with Bill Maher is not that good only becuz Matt has to spend time with mandatory ass kissing, as deserved as one does, ok fine, but we don't care !! we want to see COMEDY On the reverse the show where Matt Friend was the guest with Bill Maher as the host now that's where Matt killed.

[@Georororo]

Forgot the intro. Ask the video editor to skim through the video before considering it done.

[@ramelolivez63]

I've never heard of Friend. But, he made the interview more likeable than the guest. Made me laugh.

[@DeniseKelley-xw9tz]

I have been Don Lemon fan for long time.

[@ASalvaro]

i'm sorry to hear that....i hope you are able to get some help

[@chengqian932]

Matt you’re absolutely funny in this interview. Great insight from Don Lemon into the closeted gays at Republican events btw.

[@CWRTalentPassitOn]

I like Don Lemon. He does what he wants.

[@ASwagPecan]

This channel has way more subs than views and interaction

[@BurtBenz]

Don LeMon is like Simon LeBon 2.0

[@dilmeral]

58??? No way

[@Soylntgrnisppl]

Tucker has an estimated net worth of 50m, but it likely is much more than that. Yet, he calls out Don Lemon for living the "elite high life" in the Hamptons. Give me a break! Also, Carlson knew that disclosing where Lemon lives would result in potential harm to Lemon and his neighbors. Maybe, Carlson was hoping something happened to Lemon. Carlson is a perfect example of an unserious pundit who can cause serious harm to others.

[@lisalivingston6473]

@Soylntgrnisppl I wish congress would pass a law making it a crime to dox people. It is a dangerous practice, not only for the victims, but for law enforcement that must respond when people are attacked in their own homes. It is so dangerous that whenever someone feels vengeful against another, they can simply choose to dox them (sometimes anonymously) and suffer no consequences for such reckless behavior. I think the lack of skillful and civil debate often devolves into the use of violence against perceived enemies, and I wish our leaders could step up and set a better example for people to aspire to.

[@benmatlock186]

I do impressions. I want to be on that show

[@Sunshinensea]

In my opinion, the fancy pronunciation of Lemon is a compliment and reminds me of the "Grey Poupon" commercial. I disagree with Don Lemon's political views, but I think he is very handsome, refined and polished, and he has savoir-faire. Gay has zero to do with it. I could easily see Don Lemon cast as a very wealthy, hoity-toity man wearing an ascot tie sipping his coffee looking out his window of his mansion with his professional maids and butlers around him asking, "What's with the riff-raff?" as he sees characters like Will Farrell and John C. Reilly from the movie "Step Brothers" arrive and bumbling in front of his home. I think Don Lemon cast as that type of character would be hysterical! I don't know Tucker Carlson or what is inside his head, but I do see the pronunciation as "fancy," but in a positive, complimentary way. Lemon is wealthy, fancy Grey Poupon.

[@halleluyah757]

Hey Matt I think when the guest is talking seriously, let them go on. It gets annoying when the jokes are blurted at the wrong moments

[@thenicaron1]

This is kind of awkward. Matt is good at impressions but he's not very good at interviews. He should get more serious, he says he's interested in politics, he should do more serious segments because when he's trying to be funny he kind of doesn't really know what to do or say and it's just awkward.

[@tamarar.8179]

😮😂🎉🎉🎉

[@pamelawitt3364]

Geez, can't Bill pop for a proper set? I think a club house feel would be nice. Something classy but contemporary. Matt is not such a novice that he needs to start with crappy sets and cheap everything. No one wants to see that. Present a beautiful picture in a comfortable space to the world and you will get more views. I feel like I am slumming it watching these cheap sets.

[@lisalivingston6473]

@pamelawitt3364 I thought Matt flew to NYC to interview Don Lemon, and this is the set he used for this episode only. His regular set looks like Johnny Carson's set in Heaven if you watch Episodes 2 and 3,

as a young guy I find it strange that you idolize the old guard of has-been media. the future is people like you, not people like Don

[@commentedrelationship]

Nah it’s cool that he’s in to and respects old school stuff like Don Rickles and Alan Alda. It’s refreshing. A lot of Gen Zers act like nothing existed before 2000.

[@DillonMinasian]

I appreciate the respect to the old school types. as a young guy who's a super fan of Norm MacDonald I learned a lot through his podcast and admiration of that generation. but people like Don Lemon are not Johnny Carson or Walter Croncite
