[@thomasm5796]

Jimmy! I'm 43 and grew up watching you and for the first time outside my mother & stepfather, I can say that is a role model worth emulating! Time well spent!

[@michaelimbiru6739]

This guy used to electrify KTN with club kiboko, Jam Adelic, Rustrut, etcetra, he's our legend, long live Jimmy

[@marywanjiru6446]

Ooohhh Jimmy..... I wonna hug you! How i wish Kenyan men had half of your wisdom

[@sansm6297]

I'm abroad and didn't know what happened to Jimmy Gathu but this interview has touched me greatly. Thank you Jimmy for sharing your story. Very encouraging. God will use you in a big way and bless you beyond your imagination.

[@mkd1024]

Same too such an inspiration

[@balancedviewpoint7418]

Jimmy gathu is a legend. I started watching him from the word go as a young man with great talent. Kudos Jimmy and I love you Grace as much as I loved your parents then.

“This is what it means to be me...” Jimmy Jam. A true influence and inspiration to our nation. May the Almighty God bless Jimmy Gathu and his home in Jesus name. Amen.

[@brianochieng5904]

Daaaamn!!! I have been looking for male public figures who I can adore and try to emulate and just when I think there aren't any in Kenya, I listen to Jimmy Gathu and his likes -men with different life experiences- and I am like, Wow!! There are great men outchea.. What an episode NTV, what an episode!!

[@Bukachimy]

It has been a long journey since the days of "Hey you matatu driver take your eyes off my body...tararararara... tarararara."

[@BornIn82]

This was an interview for the ages. Thank you for sharing, Jimmy. Well done, Grace and Team.

[@pamelamubuta]

Jimmy Gathu you are a true legend. I grew up watching you on TV. Surprised to hear that you already have grandbabies. God bless you and your family. Would you consider doing a mentorship programme for young men?

[@evajude8091]

What a rich soul! God bless you&your family Jimmy Gathu

[@waihiga124]

Awesome Jimmy, real, raw and great .... thank you so much sir.

[@joyb5353]

Jimmy is just a force to reckon. He is such an orator and a legend. Thanks Grace

[@veronicahndungu4353]

I love this interview. I have watched Jimmy since 1990 's. I love his vulnerability in this show. Those nuggets of wisdom are something else.

[@phares8324]

i like the way he brings up the point that "a man/dad is who he chooses to be but not how he is structured and defined by society"... awesome 36:52 mins a lot can be picked from this. thanks to you Grace...keep inspiring..

[@sylviamwangi3678]

Daamn this man... Such a great man, full of wisdom nuggets... Happy fathers day Jimmy Gathu!!

[@Temboz]

Holy moly jimmy gathu will be 50...he has aged very well..grew up in the early 90s watching,club kiboko,rastrut,jamadelic,kass kass,Rthmix and Rap em...God bless him and his family.

[@shiksshiks8494]

Wow..this is awesome Jimmy!!! Alot of wisdom here najua wanaume wengi wamejifunza kitu!😍😍

[@btsfangirl3087]

Jimmy Gathu! I was born in the 80s and grew up in the 90s. Jimmy was my crush, i appreciate all you have done for the media industry!

[@johnmunga]

Ahem., born in the 70;s.

[@derekmwiriki9284]

The best 36.52 minutes I have watched this week 👏👏👏👏

[@margaret8940]

This is a great Father's Day gift and should be shared widely to enlighten and inspire other fathers. Jimmy Gathu, I still remember the way Kenyans reacted when we heard you were getting married to a lovely single mother. You made it clear that you loved her and her child. Clearly you have proved it again and again. Looking great as usual. May God continue Blessing you and your family abundantly. Thank you Jimmy Gathu for sharing your fatherhood journey.

[@rudyjobe498]

Time flies...damn.... Kiboko Club, Rap em', KassKass, Rastrut, Jam a Delic, Rhythmix... LEGEND.

[@rosemukasa3874]

I have watched this thrice! I love the way he is very passionate about his KIDS. Wuueeh

[@RozzieKaruri]

Wow ! What an interview Grace, what a role model to fathers you are Jimmy Gathu ! God bless you.

[@muriithimurungi302]

Great Good Man. God bless you Jimmy.

[@macdonaldgithinji6871]

I remember club Kiboko. Jimmy matured fast and all I see is a man loved by God. God bless you family man

[@njrlm1125]

I'm in tears listening to Jimmy Gathu's fatherhood story. Such a loving dad.

[@museeminda]

Great!

[@caudenciamoraa5148]

Why all these qualities and wisdom are in one person?so humbling

[@Phoenixdawn111]

Very inspiring! Grace you do a great job, you let your guests open up, and roll with their story.. it's more than an interview, it's like two friends, it's like a conversation on a Sunday afternoon over tea, it's candid and yet gentle... You are a great listener and you ask the right open ended questions. I sense that your guests leave the show more empowered and sure of themselves! You are humble and courteous, and think you are one of the best interviewers I have seen yet... I used to see a bit of Oprah in you but not anymore, you have grown into your own person and are better than her and all of them combined! Keep it up and I pray that you keep growing to greater heights! Be blessed..

[@maureenwangui2132]

Growing up without parents,this has brought me so much sadness, I have missed so much esp parental love.I wish to meet such a humble and wise man ones am ready to have a family.

Hey Jimmy! Good memories of you on telly. You still have the greatest energy and positivity!!God bless you and your family!

[@qatoi6943]

Can't wait to see you back on media. Kindly keep to your vision. Am personally tired of bloggers/comedians turned media personalities.

[@anne-mariekosh5010]

I grew up watching Jimmy on Club Kiboko and really admired him. I still admire his mature demeanor and sense of values. It's funny that the same Nation media company that fired him now wants to "hear his story."

[@jumuisha]

Time truly passes by soooo quickly....I respect you so much jimmy

[@carolwanjiru8385]

Jimmy I love for your passion I mean it's amazing. Your children are lucky. Bless you baba

Wow...loved every bit of this interview... I love the vulnerability jimmy brings, I love the authenticity hes got, and the honesty, oh my, "I lost and found myself two years ago" oh men, I wish we had enough safe spaces to be honest, I wish more men were bold enough to be honest with the people around them...jimmy I hope i can have you in my panel sometime! :-) Grace, more Grace to you. This is powerful.

Jimmy Gathu spoke to all of us. Very inspiring. As men, we need to speak up what's eating us up.

[@wes654]

Thanks so much for this. Best vid I've watched in a while. Then...what Jimmy says about his next decade...gets me thinking of what Oprah says - at some point she decided that she will use media for a purpose and not let the media use her. Awesome show 👌👏👍

[@cecilliachi]

Parenting is a relationship, not a role. Great example to fathers Jimmy Gathu. Kudos to you!

[@douglasariga5811]

[@isabelomolo8853]

Great interview. I enjoyed the vulnerability yet great strength you expressed. I adore the love for your family that you exemplify and are not shy to declare. I am so encouraged by the reminder that finding and knowing self and prioritizing family is the way to a fulfilled life. Great job Jimmy.....excited to see what the next season of your life brings.
