Jim Carrey on How Ace Ventura Was Inspired By a Bird | The New Yorker Festival

[@FEARisCOLD]

Jim has no idea how many of us were obsessed with him when we were kids. Most of us still are.

[@Kalle72]

Of course he does. Are you stupid?

[@vexusdetox9060]

Yes

[@SashaNMays]

ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE WITH HIM! I have a piece of his personality!😍😍😍

[@flex_piper]

Now 30, I was one of those kid's 👍 Alway's will be.

[@Tsourfetis]

Bruce Lee of Comedy :D

[@wesleymorton7878]

that ending was great. I hope Jim knows and feels how many of us love and cherish him!

[@tangerinejc4969]

he is always kind with his fans

[@aaroneusjames2342]

9 years old he was my first hero.

[@mattinilsson368]

he probably knows, he just doesn't care

[@tangerinejc4969]

@@mattinilsson368 what do you mean ? he cares because he is kind with them and took pictures and say hi to everyone, he can not do more than that lol

[@hansenbee123]

anyone who has taken 2 minutes going through the internet knows how much he cares about other people.

[@mikojirehrieta3095]

Dear Jim, Never die please. sincerely, everyone.

[@vexusdetox9060]

I know right

[@Disney65Fan]

Both him and Robin Williams are my comedic inspirations.

[@arlint692]

He's the one person other then my family I'll prob cry a few tear when he dies

[@ashleybritton2584]

@@arlint692 u kitting me I'll be balling my eyes out 😱😭😭😭😫☔💔

[@sratus]

@@Disney65Fan What have they inspired you to do?

[@Monoplacophora]

He's hands down one of the best performers of all time.

[@tezzmosis]

Him doing the walk and saying "alrighty then" after all this time almost brought a tear to my eye.

[@lynchmaleideal]

Would be cool if they did a 3rd Ace Ventura film with an older Ace, as long as Tom Shadyax is involved - it'd be great.

[@BellaBaileyVito]

I will always be fascinated by comedians like Jim Carey and Robin Williams. The way their mind works... Beyond words. I miss Robin terribly and I hope we have Jim forever lol

[@SimplyGimpy]

He kind of mastered comedy, didn't he? Stand-up, impressions, skits, comedy lead, indie tragi-comedies and up and onward. He kept on reinventing, as an artist, in an industry that kind of doesn't want them. *affectionate tip of the hat*

[@aaroneusjames2342]

well said.

[@Bidwellz9]

you cant master comedy, no one is funny to everybody

[@DannyDoiPhone]

SimplyGimpy yup

[@pedroprovan4046]

Indie tragi comedies? If its the one film i think, its a complete modern classic.

[@613trapman5]

Ace Ventura is a core memory in my childhood/life. I hate the fact I’m creeping to my 30’s and Jim isn’t active anymore. 😢

[@gussyboombastic7613]

The kiss on the forehead showed he didn't feel forced to take the pic. We love you JC. Ps. The bird/Ace walk was Priceless 💘😎

[@gussyboombastic7613]

Bumblebee Tunaaaaa 🤣🤣🤣

[@brianbeckerle9717]

I was actually there that night! So cool being in the same room with such a genius like Jim Carrey!

[@junkiejackflash]

What were some of the other audience questions?

[@nidyapineda5786]

I was there too !! My daughter was able to take a picture with Jim. We love him so much.

[@Jay-mcr]

There is nobody like Jim! Such a genuine, caring, funny human! ❤️

[@satyajeetprabhu]

Jim is a positive force of nature!

[@tzlawina]

He must be so depressed.

[@sickofitall1253]

How can I be a positive force if he's so negative about our president?

[@julieashton1173]

Genius guy. We love him to bits and I hope he feels the love we all have for him.

[@ELMQ]

We need Ace Ventura 3. And it needs to be a dark and gritty comedy.

[@danzabran]

1000% especially the fact he’s 61 and masters doctor egg-man similar performance

[@seankorakasmusic7266]

Show of hands ! How many want ace Ventura 3?

[@mauricobian]

Nah, I wouldn't want them to do em dirty like the last dumb and dumber.

[@TomGallagherSuperboyBeyond]

@@mauricobian already kinda did with Ace Ventura JR which was waaaay worse than dumb and dumber 2 (which was also the third film since there was a prequel movie which while terrible was still funnier than Dumb and Dumber 2)

[@mauricobian]

Yeah but Jim Carrey wasn't involved is what I'm talking about. If he's in it itll make em look awful.

[@NessieTheCatt]

Ace Ventura the narc detective!

[@Amp661]

Sorry but no. It will be stupid. Leave the originals be.

[@Love-sr3nk]

Jim Carrey is an amazing Spirit. I'm so glad he continues to share his unlimited gifts with us all! 1💖

[@HEAVYHONEY1]

I love his love for his father

[@fredriklarsson9415]

I love your love for his love for his father.

[@joe.142]

I wish i had half his talent. truly one of a kind

[@dirtydan179]

*THE BEST* comedic actor to ever live!

[@maximushermanite]

I still think he should come back and do Ace Ventura just one last time. But what do I know, I’m just a loo-hoo-za-herrr!

[@MetaITurtle]

ive given this alot of thought and Ace Ventura is his best stuff for sure

[@sudiXP]

Jim would make the best Joker in Batman.

[@werebilbyj4449]

That's what I have always thought, I never understood why he wasn't made the joker.

[@tangerinejc4969]

+Werebilby J because he did the riddler lol

[@jackodennis]

Guys.... he was the Riddler.

[@jaymars12000]

I think if there was a Riddler in the Nolan movies, that would have been his best role. I don’t think the Burton riddler did justice to his acting range.

[@samuel_rowbotham]

No.

[@MattLaneFitness]

Jim Carrey has affected me in so many positive ways in my life. I cherish his spirit and who he has evolved into being. Thankyou Jim. It’s all love.

[@stardestroyer6272]

Love you Jim! Thanks for all the gust- busting laughs over the years and many more to come ❤️

[@deathlist94]

Im not a fan of Carrey as an actor, but he is an amazing human being. Kind, humble, down to earth, and warm heart that shares happiness !

[@terrymarvin]

I'm a fan of Jim Carrey's as an actor, and human being, and an artist, but mostly as a human being, I hope to meet him someday. Terry Marin (Dallas, Texas, USA)

[@Chriswallace0405]

Did you just quote yourself 😂

[@PatrickAllenNL]

He looks WAY BETTER now. Without the beard. So much younger

[@Disney65Fan]

Yup

[@TruDis01]

The hip hairstyle helps too

[@toidyboy]

Yeah, i had to check the date on this as he looks 10 years younger than the videos i've seen of him over the past 5 years

[@thirdgen377]

He grew it out for a role. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZrVZmaZh9B5ftk

[@annette8141]

Since growing up I've always been a fan.. Last time I heard of Jim was when his girlfriend passed away. 😥

[@tangerinejc4969]

6:51 omg he is so kind ♥♥

[@IPlayOneOnT.V.]

Jim Carrey's artwork is engaging, detailed and symbolic.

[@dilfill]

I love that man. Made me laugh so much growing up.

[@RicDollars]

Jim is a legend !!! My favorite comedian of all time tbh.

[@Lalaxbo]

I love the Ace Ventura movies 🎥 🙂. Jim Carrey is my childhood idol in comedy . I miss my childhood in the 90s when i watched the Ace Ventura and Jim Carrey movies with my big brother and we had a great time and laughed together 😂🥲.

[@monolithicshore]

I really like Jim Carrey. To the point that I'm crying right now thinking why I like him.. I don't know why, there is no explanation really, I just love him. And, I'm crying again...

[@TheRayInPV]

The rudest, robot host. You don't lazily ask a question then read your notes as he's answering.

[@asb2608]

TheRayInPV he wasn’t being rude... he was nervous. Anyone with an ounce of human intelligence could see that.

[@TheRayInPV]

@@asb2608 I cannot reach your level of intelligence where I can know by a video how someone feels. Thanks for enlightening me

[@liammunro2339]

I admire anyone with enough about them to honour the guest by scrolling through ideas to get the best out of the situation, it's called preparation, it prevents lazy, cliche hosting

[@autokreig1]

Very true. They could have hired a seasoned, well versed host that can actually attempt to keep up with Jim Carrey. Not some star struck Millennial that this is his grad school final presentation.

[@monolithicshore]

He was just nervous. And, that's okay. We shouldn't grade people we see on screen. It makes us much more robotic than those we accuse of being one.

[@johnathanwillan2799]

Thanks Jim. You made my childhood and life in general better and easier. Spreading good by using you gift to its potential.

[@FoodforThought12345678dsds]

Wow, the interviewer is so energetic and charming

Wow.. what he did at the end of this video. Sure seemed to portray genuine humility. Thanks for sharing this video

[@HookedonreefsShop]

Jim is the best.We need a movie 🍿.Love the show kidding on showtime.

[@terrymarvin]

Maybe Jim Carrey will do another movie someday. He just finished shooting "Sonic: The Hedgehog". There are two movies that he'll doing eventually that is under pre-production, "Aleister Arcane' and Mr. Toy". "Kidding " been picked up for a second season.

[@YanZinovev]

so emotional in the end

[@fayzi1000]

Jim you always funny and sweet in our heart you have beautiful soul

The stuff he came up with i ace Ventura is absurd genius that will last forever.

[@AlvarHanso84]

I love the ending 😊❤

[@francescotamburella6673]

I would love to see the biography of Jim Carrey in a movie, where I could play the role of his father. It could be AMAZING, like he is. The best

[@andrewvelonis5940]

So what was the origin of "Alrighty Then"?

[@niallshetty3918]

Exactly they never showed it. I suppose they cut it.

[@TheIncredibleKevin]

A bird at the edge of a pond

[@tangerinejc4969]

the title is misleading

[@clumsiii]

idk OVERACTING? (all caps required-- Carrey is an ALLCAPS kinda actor ykno?)

When he discovered socialism

Jim Carrey awesome 👍 And he's too good to be true and be inspirational to world wide y'all 👍

I love Jim Carey

[@RicardoVanwyk-il3yt]

I love jim

[@BickleBungle1991]

Wonderful 👍🙌

[@voteZDLR]

The James Dean impression clip is case in point why they wanted him to play Kaufman. And he did as well as anybody could do trying to play Kaufman, if you've not seen it Man on the Moon is great. Anyway, the way he turns around, flips his collar up and starts combing his hair with his fingers, then he relaxes his hips in this almost Elvis pose. It's note for note the same sort of thing Kaufman was doing on Carson a while before Jim Carrey did.

[@UKNamaste]

Jim is awesome

[@gigatar]

i love Jim Carrey.

[@Imhotep-the-7th]

There should've been like 7 sequels to ace vantura, bu now we have just 2 ace vantura movies !!
