How Mike Birbiglia Got A Laugh Out Of Pope Francis

[@CatJabZ]

Mike is such a talented naturally funny guy and his shows are great. Touching and funny. Glad to see him on the show!

[@sdbelland]

Mike's humor is exactly what the world needs right now. Thanks for having him on.

[@xhopsalong]

Stephen you do remain someone who can draw the answers of an interview, no matter who's sitting across from you. Thank you for your bellweather-y way of getting a show done.

[@HermitLady]

I disagree, he hates letting his guests speak. He asks and answers his questions. 😂

[@jotzu9055]

I feel the exact opposite

[@Tedster10]

I saw Mike's new show a few weeks ago. Birbigs doesn't disappoint! One of the best storytellers out there!

[@LateNightwithStudBuyers]

love me some girbigaboo

[@lashendawest7509]

We love mike birbigila and stephen colbert

[@tripmcquagg4969]

Icons 🙌

[@rikkiechambers4959]

He really is a funny guy , this was a good interview Stephen ! Thank you

[@christophertroutman7340]

Did the band just play "Flood" by Jars of Clay? It's been at least a decade since I heard that song. I don't hear nineties CCM on Colbert very often!

[@MajorJJH]

^^^^

[@MajorJJH]

Such a great song!!

[@danielfietje9895]

I was wondering the same thing

[@LateNightwithStudBuyers]

not very often and simultaneously far, far too frequently. don't need that fn bs retconned like it's not partially responsible for this current state. but damn, I've loved birbigs for 20 years now.

[@rachelgeorge2098]

That was weird…like I was back in high school!

[@CheshiresDream]

i just heard Jars of Clay played by the band & had like 9 flashbacks )

[@MajorJJH]

Yes!!! Glad I'm not insane. 'Flood' was one of my favourites!!!

[@nightlightoasis]

I’m suing for trauma

[@LateNightwithStudBuyers]

​@@nightlightoasisf'real, I'm ashamed of so much of what I was instructed to like and think was good. opefully someday I can time travel back and slap the headphones off my dumb head... and maybe make a couple other stops earlier in time and nip a couple problems in the bud... 💯

[@Picklesnot-co3k]

Thanks for the ID. Couldn't think of the name. 😊

[@jonathanblackwell42]

I was about to ask if I was the only one who heard Jars of Clay's Flood...it was so great to see an existing comment on it

[@jungersrules]

I’m in 💯 agreement with the pope on comedy. It’s helping me cope with the election results.

[@carlychamberlain4237]

It's so true, he first became so popular with NPR sampling him on this american life...his stories are so good for audio ❤

[@Poemi10304]

"You can tell when people went to Catholic School because they're Atheist." Close! I did go to CCD (kinda like Sunday school)! 😂

[@electronics-girl]

My dad went to Catholic grade school, Catholic high school, and a Catholic university, and now he's an atheist.

[@grantgilbertson3533]

I grew up listening to comedy on vinyl, what great memories i have.

[@Scott-td9sl]

I was raised Catholic. And yes, I’m now an atheist. Perfectly logical, Mike.

[@juliehughes1258]

SAME.

[@margueritespittle5382]

Ditto

[@JillKnapp]

Same!

[@NewMessage]

Gotta love Birbigs!

[@d.bobbymcgee3253]

Mike Birbiglia never seems to age!

[@angelariebli4843]

Yup - I also went to Catholic school, and am also an atheist.

[@robertgibson1156]

"I love listening to comedy specials" and the man literally does a dunk in it! :)

[@MindyI0628]

😂😂 going to catholic school = atheist now. So true! Speaking from experience.

[@judebastien]

Love Mike. I just need anything that tskes me away from the election..

[@Picklesnot-co3k]

💯‼️

@WillBravoNotEvil Great reference! What ever happened to ... ? (I also remember that Ivory Soap is so pure it floats!)

[@brianheiss6441]

Woah. Jars of Clay. Wild.

[@Picklesnot-co3k]

Good catch. ❤

[@chiquitabanana6787]

Came to the comments to say the same thing, caught it immediately.

[@palexinchina]

LISTENING to Sleepwalk With Me is what made me a Birbiglia fan 7:41

[@ptdraks]

And you have on that picture Ricardo Araújo Pereira Portuguese Comedian 😂

[@micahhawkins8233]

You can't have a list of top comedians and not include Shaquille O'Neal.. he is legitimately one of the funniest people alive

[@mikehulsebus]

Jars of clay intro music ?!

[@BaldAndCurious]

You got some thoughts on rockets? RFK's got some thoughts on health. I'm not a religious man but "LORD HAVE MERCY!"

[@erroneousrex]

Was that Flood by Jars of Clay?

[@Teabonesteak]

I loved it when bill burr call birbivlia a worm.

[@jctsea]

Jars of Clay? Well, Dan Hasseltine, you have quite a staying power.

[@juliehughes1258]

You can always tell when people went to Catholic school because they're Atheists. This is SPOT ON.

[@sistermargaretjohnson746]

Having spent my life in Catholic schools trying and hoping I've lived my life trying to allow God to work within me and through me to the children and parents. I feel for you if that was not your experience.... Peace

[@juliehughes1258]

@@sistermargaretjohnson746 Thank you for your lovely and loving reply, Sister. It made me a bit sad, for some reason. Maybe because I didn’t have you for a teacher.

[@laalaa99stl]

Each comedian should have gotten to tell the Pope one joke, and his reaction to it should have been filmed. For a Netflix special of course. What would we title that special? 🤔

[@datgrrl_official]

Stop spamming comment sections laalaa. Not just this programme. Exercise some self-restraint. Stop it.

[@TomerBrosh]

lmao 100+ comments on this channel=failed dream that someone would laugh and take attention

[@rachelgeorge2098]

I’m not creative enough to come up with a good answer but I hope someone does!

[@Fartnuggetsallday]

How about comedians in buildings telling the pope jokes

[@jaylanmyers2576]

Well that was better than I expected LOL. I've never seen this show before I simply watched it because of Mike birbiglia. Lololol. I like the show tho

Was that walk out song FLOOD by Jars of Clay???

[@distractionb]

Jim Carey and Carrot top are especially good on vinyl.

[@micahpilson9836]

I think Louis picked Pete Holmes' intro music by mistake.

[@MajorJJH]

😂😂😂

[@danielleryan196]

Does anyone know what song the band was playing during Mike's intro? It reminds me of being in high school

[@JamesJones-mm2nm]

If Mel Brooks didn’t go ! What was the point?🤣🤣🤣

Bringing back his 17 year old atheist joke. I see you Mike! 😂

Was Conan O’Brien there?

[@angelezebuiro9676]

yes

[@athanatic]

Jesuits, they make a certain percentage too inquisitive to stay theists! Good luck getting through seminary and not switching almost immediately to politics over belief. And a great amount of the second round of questioners drop out round about this epiphany!

[@abprairiegurl]

I went to Catholic school and am an atheist.

[@mariamenendez1320]

In Buenos Aires, we don't speak like that... Jorge Bergoglio (Pope Francis) speaks Spanish as his first language. He (and his voice) was already well-known as a priest in Argentina before becoming Pope. En Buenos Aires no hablamos así...Jorge Bergoglio (Papa Francisco) habla español como primera lengua. El (y su voz) ya era muy conocido como sacerdote en Argentina antes de ser Papa.

[@jpsinclaire]

Why is this interview so short?! Guests go through travel, setup, makeup, all for less than a tenner?

[@smsunsparkle1984]

I think God has a sense of humor. I mean... have you seen a platypus?

Ahhh Robin Williams…

And did you all enjoy meeting the tooth fairy? Your list would've seemed more legit if it was the original copy and not something put on an interview card.

I grew up listening to Cosby albums. And then….I can’t listen to them because he’s a disgusting rapist so…..that’s my connection. Sorry y’all.

[@knittylane3016]

Jesus did use hyperbole. There is a verse where he asks about uncircumsising.

[@ilovepdub]

if he was still a boy, he would of met all the pope's friends. . . . in the worst way

[@ktwenutube]

Does Jesus have a sense of humor, can be answered in the Bible. Is there a belly aching joke anywhere in any chapter of the Bible? If you find one, there is your answer, if you can’t, then there is … hell for you.

Thank you for your video mate…. Since working with veronica Thompson, She transformed my investment strategy, my stock portfolio keeps increasing, turning a $20,000 investment into $478,000 in less than a year. Her insights on market trends and stock selection have been invaluable. If you’re looking to boost your investments, she’s the one to trust

Thank you so much for your referral, random man on a Steven Colbert KZbin video. I will now confidently trust veronica Thompson with my life's savings as I enter retirement.
