[@troylowe814]

So was Arsenio a cold hearted snake?

[@fullbag50]

After Gilbert is introduced, it is obvious that Arsenio realizes the hypocrisy of his show and the industry in general. He really does not want to laugh, but he simply can not help it.

[@fullbag50]

As this clip goes on, Gilbert does EVERYTHING he can to burn down the bridge, stage, walls, ceiling and everything else to make sure he is never invited back again. Wow, do I love Gilbert. He is the epitome of someone in the mainstream that did not care one iota of being in the mainstream.

[@indioloco6600]

Exactly! Poor assinio!

[@CaptanF0rever]

​@fullbag50 ironically, this is an example of the opposite. Comedians like Gilbert and Norm MacDonald were usually "on call" if they were in town to fill in if a guest cancels last minute. They are asked to come on and provide filler material for a segment. That's why he isn't asked about any specific projects. Here, Gilbert did as much as he could to make people talk about the appearance without actually doing any material. It's quite genius really.

[@leon3624]

I love how Arsenio's face is either looking straight down, in his hands, or looking out to the side of stage for like 75% of the time.

Gilbert was absolutely KILLING it and in complete control of the audience on Arsenio's own show. I think Arsenio was the only one not having fun. Gilbert is like a wild beast when he gets going. You can't reign him in just go with it and enjoy the man's genius.

[@jobansand]

Arsenio was finding it hilarious. He was literally shaking from holding back laughter.

[@byHexted]

What the hell are you talking about? Arsenic booked him BECAUSE he does this and the guys right he’s clearly holding back laughter. You’re doing that thing teenagers do with norm Macdonald and bill burr or whoever where they pretend everyone around them doesn’t get it and hates it when they don’t they’re actually friends with these people and are more in on the joke then you. Gilbert is basically a character, these idiots act like all the celebrities were shocked this isn’t his real voice of course they weren’t they actually were with him on SNL or have talked to him in private and know this is in a sense a CHARACTER. It’s really a shame when people are like the definition of a good host, letting Gilbert take control and reacting to it how he’s supposed to, but you act like “oh if I was there I’d do it Justice and riff with Gilbert and tell him he’s funny” you wouldnve killed the whole bit. Idk why so many people like you do this with comedy. Literally INCAPABLE of complimenting a comedian without shitting on another or just whoever they’re with. Same with talk show hosts “oh its a Conan clip? Better make sure I say how much better then every other late show he is, and how Colbert and Fallon are so unfunny” they actually think they’re supporting Conan when again he’s actually friends with the people they’re shitting on and respect them way more then these type of people. Arsenio was such a groundbreaking inclusive host there’s a reason everyone loved being on his show, and it seems like you just have some personal vendetta if you feel the need to see him as this guy who hated the joke and wasn’t having fun as if they didn’t do this shit in rehearsal the day before. Don’t talk out of your ass you’re talking about Gilbert’s genius and I can already tell you find out who these legends are super late, and retroactively try to pretend you were there supporting them all along. Why else would you try to shit people who actually were helping Gilbert when nobody knew or cared about him like arsenio, yet you’ve never done a thing in your life for Gilbert except speak for him,

[@edub9930]

[@Mgmt]

Arsenio is a fellow standup who obviously was having fun too

[@ScrewFlanders]

Actually, Arsenio deserves huge props because he had Gilbert on his show regularly. Arsenio and Gilbert were friends, partly because Arsenio _got_ Gilbert. And, Arsenio wasn't afraid to let Gilbert go off, unlike the other talk-show hosts of the time.

This is why people who aren't witty and aren't funny shouldn't host late night talk shows. Same thing for Leno. They simply don't have the ability to keep up with genuinely funny guys like Gilbert and they wind up embarrassing themselves like you see here. It's why guys like Conan, Craig, Dave, and Johnny were so good because they could always hold their own and keep up with their guests and have that comedic banter back and forth . In a way this was painful to watch.
