Drunk James Brown - ft. Jordan Peele

It is and they have it on KZbin, just look for James brown high interview.

[@SillyPuddy2012]

Richard Pryor's high as a kite 1980 interview on a movie set is pretty golden too. Search "Richard Pryor : High, Live, and Dirty on Mormon Television."

[@ElgrimTheElder]

This is a perfect recreation of that interview!

[@someguy4887]

AKA pointless. nothing new. a stale rehashing of something that once was funny. EXPLOITATION.

[@seizurefrog]

both have a point. i think peele does an unbelievably good job here as j.brown but it's a bit hard to see why this had to be made since it's the exact same thing as the original

[@CartmanMorisato]

Exactly! There's no point for him to recreate it unless he's going to be even MORE over the top and adlib much funnier stuff than James originally said. This comes off as just stale and boring if you've already seen and enjoyed the actual original interview.

[@TheNerdMan2]

plus james brown was funnier

[@iamLexxKelsey]

Why even do this ??? What's the purpose

[@jljf2f]

I had seen the original interview before and as soon as he said "Livin' in A-meeeer-ri-ca", in this one, I lost it lmao.

[@luislopez1800]

I saw the original 1988 recording on KZbin 20 minutes ago and then found this remake and now my stomach is cramping up from laughing so hard. It truly was how he answered her questions with nothing that had anything to do with her question before she was even finished asking the question. I'm gonna try this at the board meeting this Friday.

[@Lolasrice]

MazBringsby majority of it, not a huge difference

[@daniel-andybecu2804]

This is actually some of the most insane acting I've ever seen, it's actually in synch with the original interview.

[@SFSVHS]

I know! Even down to the tiniest details of facial expressions like the smirk Sonya does when James cuts her off. The inconsistent volume of their clashing voices as Sonya raises hers to speak through James’ random outbursts of song, it’s all executed wonderfully. I think it deserves an award of some sort for excellence in recreation.

[@12nunue]

He killed it. He was spot on the original interview. Jordan Peele is a fool and that laugh dang near took me out 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@lulurussell]

coco nut I think he is bringing it back into relevance, like the interviewer said very prophetically sometime we forget then remember again. I don't think those of us alive then would readily think of this original interview when we need a laugh, so doing it verbatim is like a reminder that it happened and an introduction for folks who weren't around foe the original.

Definitely not cocaine. You can still be somewhat crisp on cocaine. Likely pcp. Also, you can see in the original that he was wearing the same outfit and gloves he was wearing in one of his music videos. He was likely up all night and went from the shoot straight to this interview.

[@GregoryLeFever]

In both the real 1987 interview and in this re-creation, a lot of credit goes to the anchorwoman who somehow remained cool and collected throughout James's "answers" to her questions.

[@edp3202]

For real

[@raymondgward1911]

That would be one Dr. Sonya Friedman, who deserved to have her show renewed for a thousand years after holding it together during that interview.

[@MetalizedButt]

it’s rare to find people who can impersonate so accurately and to recreate a whole interview word for word, that’s a true talent right there. Peele probably watched this interview a million times and just laughed his ass off flat, and I feel that’s where the dedication and accuracy comes from. If you genuinely love something you’ll do incredibly well at it, as compared to some comedian just trying to be funny for fucks sake, you can see the difference.

Great video, this video is not as weird as the actual interview; both actors are brilliant comic actors and can’t escape their perfect comic timing. The actual interview has awkward misfires and blank takes that ultimately make it more surreal. Love it.

[@Scotttv66]

Hi there. I was the Executive Producer of the Sonya show and in the control room and in her ear during this legendary piece of video which Jordan Peele has masterfully re-created. Please note: this interview was in 1988, not 1987. As far as being drunk..Brown was also arrested for possession of PCP at that time and we actually believe that was what he was on during this interview. Fun Fact: he calls out for Ted Turner because they had a relationship forged when Brown hosted a bizarre dance show on WTBS called Future Shock: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIvOfXpmgqyBY80

That's was an amazing recreation! wow, cannot believe I haven't seen this yet, thought I'd seen all Jordan & Peele content, not sure how this one snuck by me. That was just James being who he is, answering every question with a song title, high af, and hitting on the interviewer while on TV, and out on bail(or "out on love" as he calls it, lol) for abusing his wife, and yeah I'm pretty sure he was a different person at home. Dude was legend, and from a different time/space than the rest of us. He had an image to uphold, and nothing was going to stop that.
