Youngest Snowboarding Champion Red Gerard on Winning Olympic Gold
• Youngest Snowboarding ...

[@Piesfan35]

This kid is gonna be an all time great. He’s just won Olympic gold at 17 years old and he’s more interested in talking about his drunk family. Dude is humble and funny and an unreal rider

[@empireoflightz]

Unless he starts getting gerrarded with them.

[@georgemiser]

The snowboarder version of Tony Hawk.

[@AaaaAa-yf6ku]

All time great lol he does one event

[@skylarlinden945]

mike jordan cryface Olympic gold medalists are among the all time greats

[@Suiram82]

He wasn't even the best one this time. Snowboarding at the Olympics is so rigged it's beyond a joke now and he only won because he was the only American in the final.

[@elris452]

he’s so chill and cool wow i need a friend like that chill fr

[@demetriaduma6218]

Nam Balloon joon!!!

[@paulfinneran4244]

[@DGKkid612]

Of course he is he freakin snowboards for a living u cant get anymore chill than that

[@HariKrishnanHTR]

the kid is the coolest dude jimmy has ever interviewed .....

[@emteufel6556]

Hari Krishnan agreed

[@BlackVirtue]

@TheGodEmperorofMankind I bet you look stupid in any hat, but for this guy even this ridiculous hat can't take his cool away.

[@BlackVirtue]

@TheGodEmperorofMankind why would you assume you're able to ruin anyone's day, let alone mine? I know for the fact that you'll make the coolest hat look stupid, so I'm not in the one in the "offended" position.

[@NinjaJone5]

@TheGodEmperorofMankind wheres your Olympic gold medal?

[@joshwaterman5526]

TheGodEmperorofMankind 😂

[@hamburgerhelperflick]

This kid is a credit to his family. He's only 17 but so natural, not trying to be funny.

[@markryder4943]

Can someone please cancel The Kardashians and do a show with his family please.

[@flamethrower510]

Tundra Explorer lol savage

[@galehess6676]

Done.

[@brandonm.5033]

Tundra Explorer please television Gods

[@ProAverageGuy]

thats not what americans want, they want stupid.

[@camkilla2930]

Fr tho 😂😂🤪

[@sabahnargis9767]

He's so chill!!👌😎

[@FireboltQuill132]

Pun intended or unintended haha

[@bandersnatchful]

He's a snowboarder. That's how they all ride.

[@leeloo5862]

He's so chill because of all the weed he smokes...but I kept thinking Jimmy should smack that stupid looking hat off his head.

[@MissFluffy2013]

sa

[@esquibelle]

That hat suits him to a T ~ He looks like an elf ~ one that's about to get very very rich and find that pot 'o' gold over the rainbow

[@elfsong713]

This kid is a total snowboarder. They are all so cool.

[@rickystanford2964]

Naw, they're a bunch of bozos, the lot of them.

[@Andrew-nu4hi]

Seymour Butts nah we ain't bozos. We're all g's.

[@smurfemail8035]

Seymour Butts Aussie spotted

[@scum3112]

Thank u

[@rickystanford2964]

If by "g's" you mean "grannies", then yeah, ya got that right.

[@rossmahon2]

Hat game on point.

[@deanbalboa]

Does "on point" mean he looks like an idiot?

[@calebrodriguez7409]

It’s a snowboarding thing not sure how it came about.

[@jeffs3897]

An oldschool train hat

[@beeexcited1431]

no joke i'm not mad at it

[@treefiddytwoo]

🔥

[@daners622]

He's talking about shotgunning mountain dews baby!

[@Coastalsuperjew]

daners622 love the subtle Shaun White reference

[@bennettwiens]

The flying tomato knows whats up

[@alexfournier8574]

daners622 haha Shawn white

[@mattmccune5560]

Yes 😹

[@parker298]

Yes lol watched that interview for the first time some how yesterday and replayed it almost 30x the whole time this interview i was thinking about that interview

[@whydontwe985]

This kid can’t vote yet and already won a gold olympics medal. What am I doing with my life?

[@hanumanaska292]

Why Don’t We yea

[@MsReviewing]

LOL.

[@miscellaneousmedia3753]

Never too late, everyone succeeds in their own way, you can always do something great too

[@TheNickmacedo]

You are voting

[@76carmel]

Red can vote within a year...

[@TheLeatheryman]

That kid is mellow AF

[@TheLeatheryman]

J S miss the days when everyone was drunk all the time.

[@tjeerdroukens5110]

Were i live the skateboarding kids are ignorant bullies lol

[@tjeerdroukens5110]

Maariya Nr true, and we dont have any mountains sadly so dont know how our snowboard kids would be lol

[@slickwilly9684]

Jimmy's a natural when it comes to interviews, great job on bringing home gold Red! This kid seems so unphased by what he's accomplished and the long trip he's just undertaken.

[@briantheyounger2060]

Not really. Red is a boss, especially for a 17-year-old. But Jimmy is hard to watch.

[@JackAndChub]

slickwilly9684 bolts r trash go knights

[@ramsasmr9200]

That makes you think... the hell was I doing at 17!

[@MTOvideos]

"Getting obliterated" half of what he was doing lol

[@robpatershuk]

Seriously though, I wasted my youth

[@1nvd]

Smoking blunts

[@ryanfoye3679]

Ricardo Productions I'm still a teen but it's crazy when you think about how he's 17 and like a junior or senior in High School and he has a gold medal, I'm just at a loss for words tbh

[@lynncai587]

I'm 17 and this makes me think what the hell I've been doing my entire life.

[@hartlinebling5764]

Might of been the smoothest/ easiest interview Kimmel has ever done and the kids 17 lol

[@fjjdghrfigj]

Hartline Bling he's good at what he does

[@readmore8740]

@hartlinebling You notice so many talk about his HAT, when Jamiroquai did it Alright. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5y7mn-bd72tfZY

[@Vendrix86]

yea think about that for a second....Kimmel needs to talk to a 17 year old to talk to someone on the same level, that's how bad he is.

[@TheJoeyFerraro]

Might have.

[@MegaClarkful]

J S they may drink constantly but being an alcoholic you cant stop. I wouldn’t jump to that conclusion without seeing them.

[@Demac.44]

Dude sounds like Marty McFly

[@m.h.1593]

Demarco Pantoja mindblown.

[@TS-rp7dz]

Demarco Pantoja Looks like him too.

[@nyman188891]

Lols I can totally see it

[@88mph85]

yeah, kinda

[@alimackerali9259]

Needs a hover snowboard.

[@nyman188891]

lols Red seems like he's really laid back and mellow style. I love it. His family obviously loves and supports him too. Bunch of party animals. This honestly brought a smile to my face. Congrats Red!

[@stevezilla99]

This young man has a great supporting family. 18 traveled to Korea to see him? Wow!

[@NKDV76]

so true

[@dna448]

18 traveled to korea to party

[@katiegrayson4561]

Steve Zilla That’s what I thought! Until I realized they came to get drunk… 🤨

[@aspyr5681]

A lot of money too

[@MrUltracoin]

I`m not sure how or why he looks like a 17th century whiskey brewer that works on inventing time travel part time with that hat but he does.

[@lexro]

Johnny Dutch it's the hat

[@katj6442]

What kind of hat is that ?

[@peanutbutter3543]

Thanks for the laugh!ha!

[@Nanancay]

Kat M A 17th century whiskey brewer hat.

[@katj6442]

Nancy Wang lmao thnks

[@foxhound13]

He comes out and the hat wasn't the first question to ask?

[@kadenchambers419]

He came out?

[@Micoolaw]

this cats cooler than the other side of the pilliow

[@Cekmore]

Micoola with the GOLD CAP fo sho a COOL CAT!

[@savanna9707]

Omg this is the best comment I've ever seen

[@kindafatkindastrong5683]

Family guy joke

[@DefThrone]

Family Guy expounded on the joke but didn't make it up. It's a common expression.

[@Micoolaw]

I actually read that quote on a espn shirt once, and that’s what I’m referencing lol

[@ironspartan117]

this is the most American thing ever. passes out late watching netflix. wakes up late no jacket uses someone elses. family just parties constantly... 18 of them. doesnt watch the olympics, only cares for the local competition. and still wins gold medal.

[@ironspartan117]

What kind sheltered life do you live?

[@ironspartan117]

I'll drink to that.

[@lamakicker69]

Slope style was just added in 2014 and big air this year...that's why he never watched the Olympics because his sport has never been in the Olympics until the 2014 winter

[@MegaMobi123]

idl what streaming service he was using cause brooklyn nine nines not on netflix lol

[@sc2477]

miguel medina Korean Netflix has different shows than American Netflix

[@ZippyandOllie]

This guy has an incredible personality. So smooth and easygoing👍🏻🏂

[@coltenharris6192]

I’m Canadian, and I still cheered for red to win. He deserved to win his gold.

[@lamakicker69]

Colten Harris i don't know what it is with Americans and the Olympic slope style winning gold, in every other event slope style is dominated by Canada and Norway but the Olympics come around and somehow an American wins gold lol I'm and American but I really like a bunch of the Canadian riders

[@justind3583]

I mean he's nice but... I will always root for Parrot, Seb Toots and Mcmorris.

[@getsmarty7603]

If you're rooting for an American in slopestyle over the 2 best canadian boarders then you suck. I don't think that kid should have got gold. Good for him though.

[@MeiHeart1]

get Smarty he deserved gold. Stop being so pressed. Let people chill who they want winning. A lot of Americans liked the Canadian figure skating couple. Nothing wrong with that.

[@getsmarty7603]

He did not deserve gold. His tricks and air times were smaller. Tricks on the rails were small and not very professional looking. I'm not being "pressed". Mcmorris and Parrott runs were way better. And like I said. Good for him though.

[@debbxx9409]

This was so satisfying and soothing for some reason This dude is so chill and smooth when talking.

[@criticalcrash]

Kimmel is so good at interviews, he genuinely wants to know about the interviewee, whereas Fallon is a nervous clown laughing, focusing on his own response and always doing his own monologue in the middle of guest interviews

[@ByGriPhone]

Red Conan is better

[@matthewzimmers1097]

Kimmel lost his humor when he left The Man Show. Conan is better and Craig Ferguson was the best. All of late night is lucky he retired

[@BlackSzn7]

I hate Fallon I just love his bits and the things he makes famous people do lol

[@BlaineBengals22]

Craig Ferguson was the best.

[@willsankey2979]

At the end of the day both are Leftist shills just like every Late Night host (although nowhere near as bad as Colbert & John Oliver).

[@AliRamCer]

I just stared at his hat the whole interview.

[@isingtomyownbeat08]

I wish I was passionate and committed to anything like this kid is with snowboarding.

[@Conscii]

Too busy tryna figure out why the world is the way it is distracts us

[@suseysoll448]

No don’t think like that, you are passionate and committed individual yourself ❤️ keep your head high

[@ticalhezzy1692]

That kid is ridiculously laid back and handles interviews with the grace of a veteran. The whole "act like you've been there before" saying must be engrained in him.

[@krasnodar3641]

What a legend. Well done Red!

[@2760daisy]

He is so adorable and such a down to ear kid. We are proud of you Red!

[@fletcheredge]

Isn’t that just Tom Holland wearing a ridiculous hat?

[@espili]

I THOUGHT THE SAME THING TOO

[@carmenn4074]

Refreshing to see a new celebrity BEFORE all the commercial and ego changes

[@luvvinlovelock7254]

Carmen N right!!!!!!!!

[@ameliagrace1226]

Some may also say age is an impact, since teens and adults are very different

[@jeffreyhinman1397]

This kid is wonderful, love it. Down to earth and definitely laid back, in his words "it was just another event to me" . Just a good person all around, I am sure many can relate to this kid with the drinking and losing his coat or something of importance before a big day or moment. Just shows we are all human... Great Job bring home the gold!!!

[@jesseedelbroek7995]

Love this guy!!

[@rofaca]

This whole interview is so chill

[@rebekahstoddard5826]

He's so chill and relaxed! His family sounds so much fun and I love how Red's real. So proud of him, he's so talented!!!

[@melissataylor881]

He’s so precious

[@KwelNews]

For such a young man he was so professional in this interview, good for him. Well deserved gold.

[@oosajee]

This kid is everything. Hopefully team USA won’t try to ruin him with media training because this is just pure gold. I feel like I’m going to root for him in big air after this even though he’s not from my country!

[@bradkasteler]

I love how he's just leaning in and staring directly at jimmy kimmel. he's so cool.

[@ilhamonytube]

The American boy we want and love.

[@HoStevie]

*Young savage*

[@carolienkoeleman]

honestly I could watch this dude all day. Absolute legend

[@jsk8snrich1]

He is a great interview!

[@udonomi8398]

This dude is a legend

[@emiyan6052]

Hes so small and adorable awww congrats bud

[@elliemccarthy5672]

He is so humble and I can tell he is just an amazing guy well beyond snowboarding.

[@jorgetorcher]

Doesn't he remind you of Tom Holland?

[@jtrounce6027]

jorgetorcher, yes. I thought the same thing when I first saw him. Now hearing him talk, he seems even more like Tom Holland.

[@MikeMEMM]

maybe in "spider verse" this can work

[@HealthySelfNThrive]

Yeah definitely can see that

[@HouseMDaddict]

Thank you! I couldn't place who he reminded me of

[@snake6706]

[@sailorchuu]

[@Adamsotherside]

[@donnanancekivell9430]

You gotta love this kid.....he is just a scream........enjoying every minute of the Olympics..his family sounds crazy....best of luck

[@rebekahstoddard5826]

I love how Red goes home but his family stays and parties! The Gerarded thing, love it!

[@Christopher-Yabadabado]

LOL Love that kid ! hysterical

[@elisabethhenssler8706]

He’s so chill omg

[@Jdeck212]

The champ is in the house!! Such a chill and humble kid

[@S_l_u_s_h_i_i]

Lmfao everyone talking about how chill he is and no ones talking about this mother fuckin hat 😂😂😂

[@speedypeanutbutter]

dudes a grade A chiller

[@LifeGotIt]

he made history @ 17....not bad Red Gerard!! I honestly feel like theres more to this young legend and his family. I would pay to see a reality series on them.

[@DragonOne1]

Excellent interview for a young man..

[@abigailrose444]

Dude I think I’m in love 😂

[@takanoritoriyama]

Did he fly back just for this interview!? Wtf

[@vika0194]

takanoritoriyama what’s the problem? He gets free exposure and millions see him

[@takanoritoriyama]

Victor K he says he has to go back to go compete in big air? Y not focus and do this after

[@vika0194]

takanoritoriyama because he is a relaxed 17 year old

[@luvvinlovelock7254]

Victor K I'd would want to go home too and go bad why not I just won the gold medal I'm only 17

[@feebeedoc78]

It's called maximising your PR opportunities 101. Fair play to him. I've no idea what his chances in the big air competition are, but he's a teenage boy who probably has no problems crashing out on another 13 hour flight. I'm sure he's used to travel and time zones. Give the kid his moment, it's an amazing achievement.

[@sygy6311]

What a great kid, and an amazing story.

[@Gwiedert]

He's such a chill dude!

[@NewMessage]

The early morning drinking would explain the hat.

[@YTofuable]

He's got an old soul ... but adorable 😆 😆

[@isabellahurley6552]

He’s so adorable omg!!!

[@kaya_dunn]

he is an actual blessing

[@helenejulian5582]

His family sounds amazing lol congrats kid!

[@helenejulian5582]

mondovb they sound like they have a great time together and enjoying life lol. That's why they are amazing

[@orando15]

I'm more like god damn, he wins and right after automatically takes plane back to U.S......shit I'd have stayed and enjoyed watching rest of games and evn SK in general 😅

[@feebeedoc78]

orando15 Clearly didn't listen. He's going back to compete and the hopes to watch hockey, curling, whatever..

[@leevikeranen6435]

If you got a call from kimmel, wouldn't you go?

[@jack36afc18]

He's still got another event, he's going back, just listen to the interview before commenting

[@PeterGalbraith]

To everyone... It's a 13-hour flight! He's missing several days.

[@jeycodiaz5466]

orando15 yieco

[@econmachete]

He is so chill.

[@Drarjunmenon]

This is what you call humility. I wish him all the best for his future.

[@matthewr2120]

I want to snowboard with this man

[@rx7fc]

crazy to think he's born the same year as me :/

[@idadowlatpanah324]

He’s so humble, mature and chill. I feel like he’s the kind of dude you could talk about anything with. I think we’d be great friends. Congrats Red! 🇺🇸 USA! (ps the amount of girls this guy is gonna get when going back to school is gonna be insane). IF he goes back to school. He’s gonna be stinkin’ rich.

[@jackbtingey]

This man is so chill

[@neeshachahal]
