I'm so proud to see this guy achieving greatness

[@rnavarrorubio]

Rio Gloria same

[@shiva999ful]

Yeah me too, this guy is better then many many number of youtubers who have much more subscriber then him even though our boy Jimmy post much better videos. His make a wish child video is my all time favorite and him faking as a cop to get party booze is just super crazy lol.

[@lucasaaron2315]

Same, I remember watching his frat videos in 2012 and now he’s made it big

[@awesome619ification]

Yeah, he's the greatest.

Its so cool. I remember watching him start his first you tube channel, like 8 whole years ago.

This is what happens when you're a newbie and you're being interviewed next to a crowd that doesn't know your work, the same happens to me when I get asked for interviews here in Angola (Africa)

Nick Rumoro ya the crowd was so boring

[@smhmyhead666]

He's not really that well known so that explains it

[@sherylsmallwood-valdivia5375]

Jimmy Kimmel is NOT giving Tatro enough credit. At all. Tatro is probably one of the few remaining talented sketch comedians on KZbin. He's not just some vlogger (not hating on bloggers). Even back in the day, he was putting in the work. Also, I was also one of the people who thought the American Vandal trailer was real until I saw his face in it lol.

[@ScarredBert]

Sheryl Smallwood jimmy tatro was consistently bringing funny sketches

[@thomasben3991]

" ...one of the few remaining talented sketch comedians on KZbin " EXACTLY !

[@spacewinter]

Exactly! The biggest sketch "comedians" now are trash and don't know comedy or writing. Him and DerrickComedy were some of the best around.

[@creammoon2555]

Sheryl Smallwood i was confused untill i saw this comment lol

Kimmel didnt ask the right questions.. i really have to know, if wade burns or not.

He definitely does, like, all the time

[@ThreeWeenies]

Low key best comment in this whole thread - def burns

he doesn't just burn with anyone, only a very specific group of people.. he says this in episode 2

@Jacob Pesquera I mean, sometimes you gotta look past your tastes and selfishness and at least chuckle if someone's telling you something they think is funny. It's not a sign of being fake or disingenuous, if anything, you end up improving on your relationship with that person and become more likeable.

[@Mat388]

@Jacob Pesquera you must be fun in parties

[@Kansyn]

@Jacob Pesquera The crowd is obliged to laugh with signs, that's what they're there for. Seems like they just didn't throw those up too much for Tatro's appearance

[@matts5247]

Yungpope they have giant screens that prompt the audience to laugh on cue. If you don’t think something is funny your laugh will be a little half assed. Have you never seen a live filming w studio audience?

[@RyanD808]

Matthew Schwenker Iv been to one and I remember applause cues. Laughing cues no. I feel like that would be impossible to time

[@2334cooldude]
