Joel Kim Booster Knew He Was Gay Before He Knew He Was Asian | CONAN on TBS

[@Allaluca]

LMAO the crowd went dead silent when they thought he was really abt to cry, he's good.

[@sia1667]

Kavalan I was so confused AND WHEN I FIGURED IT OUT I BURST OHT LAUGHING

[@ginscorpio621]

He bought me. He bought proabably everyone. Freaking thought his father said something insensitive or something. Boy, he knows how to act.

[@leyah911]

Kavalan fun fact! He was a theatre art major

[@sonquatsch8585]

this guy is going to be bigger than MC

[@Lavender_Louis]

Or they where like me thinking "this is probably the build up to something good but I'mma gonna stay quiet just in case"

[@willt.9654]

That's one hell of a fake cry. Bravo.

[@9thedreaming9]

Funny for sure, but anyone else thinks he is hot as hell?

[@M_town17]

TBF, ya of course. If not go away.

[@carloslunghard3971]

Yeap I do...definitely !

[@samfogle6222]

Yes yes yes yes YES.

[@rickovery]

Yes, he is and really funny!

[@whiistlingwinds]

Yes, you have eyes that work.

[@edenlewis2538]

He should be an actor. He's fake cry was so believable.

[@saemjo6791]

Well he did say he was a musical theater major in another stand up :)

[@theobuniel9643]

He’s starring in a movie now :) it’s called Fire Island.

[@leif1075]

@@saemjo6791 Does he sing? I'd like to hear it.

[@petershin3858]

man the feels when he started fake crying.

[@loosey5]

I was like... this dude really bout to cry on conan... damn.....

[@gavinnutt8752]

+loosey5 the audience fell for it too lol

[@Large_Sarge]

totally got me. good stuff.

[@gadgetstalker2]

I was like, his set is almost over, where is this going?!

[@daraxiong19]

lol me too. I was like this is stand up pull yourself to together man.

[@HigherPlanes]

He had me for a second.

[@musicmouse25]

"...all the hatred and violence but no sweet tea." Dying😂😂😂😂😂

[@rockingsince9815]

musicmouse25 that line killed me!!

[@julial3758]

someone explain this to me :\

[@ignaciogutierrez9376]

Omg read this just as he said it 😂

[@annetteho5989]

“So what’s the point?” 😂😂

[@ssncns]

@@rockingsince9815 no sweet tea? what does it mean?

[@daebbiri]

As a Korean, I actually think its a good thing that he could grow up in an American background because the majority of Koreans are still pretty homophobic. I dont think that Korean society would have allowed him to become a proud, charming comedian as he is today.

[@artistsComplex]

As a Korean-American with limited information on the social climate in Korea, I tend to agree.

[@Samperor]

Most of the world is quite homophobic.

[@ThisGuyRides]

It's just the way it is in conservative societies.

[@kimjack1000]

Not to mention there isn't a "standup" scene at all. The very idea of standup in Korea is virtually non-existent.

[@ThisGuyRides]

kimjack1000 Time for K-Com to join the Hallyu!

[@jonasbonilla5657]

he lured us in on that one

[@Axle-F]

.......... ACTING!

[@sineadmchugh4234]

+Axle .............THANK YOU!

[@saebelzahnseba]

When he did that almost crying bit and then delivered the punchline, I was so much in laughter that I cried but I wasn't sure about it lol he messed up my emotions but that's what makes him gold

[@BadDriversOfTheIllawarra]

Went in with low expectations. Ended up wishing he had an hour long comedy special.

[@TheTigero]

so you could recommend it to your enemies?

[@BadDriversOfTheIllawarra]

Kevin Klika Just because you don't like something, doesn't mean it is bad. Plus it seems your opinion is in the minority.

[@BranoneMCSG]

What do you mean by reccommend it to your enemies? He said he ended up liking the comedian?

[@BadDriversOfTheIllawarra]

Branone He is insulting the comedian because he personally didn't like him.

[@BranoneMCSG]

MrHeyfuckoff Oh.. I get it now

[@FaRtBoMb42]

That "pixelated" joke went over everyone's head. This dude is funny.

[@artistsComplex]

Lol Gotta be honest, it completely went over my head as well...

[@supernet810]

Did it hit the camera man?

[@FaRtBoMb42]

SuperNet Try again.

[@artistsComplex]

He was taking a small image and making it bigger so it pixelated?

[@genjii931]

Japanese porn pixelates the naughty bits.

[@drake1321]

Get this man a netflix special right meow!

[@googelle7555]

😹😹😹🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@dhruvbhatnagar4180]

He has one! Go check it out, it's hilarious

[@keronamora6145]

that last part almost got me lol nice acting

[@brandonlee5789]

This guy is an incredibly talented comedian. Very impressed. Not a single word unaccounted for. Succinct is the best word for this act.

[@lamasmorales]

I laughed the whole time. Can't say that about all comedians that have gone up there.

[@ferrisaggron160]

Especially that last part with the fake crying, that was really hilarious.

[@lamasmorales]

+WildIrish sure Wild Irish. Here's your cookie 🍪

[@lamasmorales]

+WildIrish I didn't tell you to eat it. Do whatever you want with that cookie.

[@jonlesliehaynes]

Which observation or joke was the funniest for you?

[@jacobjamar]

+Alan ! Agreed.

[@NESherv]

Oh my God. This was gold.

[@jacobjamar]

Watch it again..

[@lh8939]

NESherv still gold👌🏻

[@knifeforkandaspoon]

This dude is hilarious! Very unique approach to humor.

[@saltysynapses]

I like how Conan is giving these stand up comics strips on KZbin. Just introduces me to so many more comedians.

[@Jawsfan6]

I was at the taping of this and it was pretty incredible seeing Conan and Andy's (understandable) reactions to Joel. I've never seen anyone laugh so hard!

[@davidejuve28]

"Actually I don't know if it's that big or not, 'cause every time I look at it it's pixelated..."

[@mariellekim]

so good to see Asian comedian on American show, especially Korean race!! shout out to fellow Korean 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@nickyw3133]

4:46 The way he smoothy transitioned from fake tearing up to the joke is flawless and hysterical 😂😂

[@littlefrog9553]

Oh man. That ending was amazing. 😂

[@giareneeble]

Is that a profession? ded lmao

[@dixonanimals2012]

Whoa... A funny person on Conan that stayed funny, didn't have a stall, and didn't bomb???

[@TheTigero]

did you watch a different video?

[@jacobjamar]

There was an edit.. What happened during the skip!?

[@deistmutt]

It's Guy Fieri, the not so good chef, trolling the internet

[@da96103]

Maybe there was a microphone malfunction.

[@TolyTheTolerBear]

He’s brilliant; I almost started tearing up during the part about his dad and the Crimp n’ Curl Pony doll his mom gave him for Xmas!

[@cellagp321]

That fake cry tells me this man is ready for his close-up.

[@MrTheSilentAssassin]

Does anyone else think he sounds like John Mulany?

[@tailerstravels504]

a little

[@wittyblonde6728]

Omg he does...

[@miche.5146]

he doesss

[@Taijifufu]

There's a reason Mulaney jokes about his voice. 😂

[@ggrief1863]

with just a pinch of valley girl

[@TDog14126]

I don't like most male comics, but I like this guy

[@michaelo.1320]

dafuck

[@Seance117]

lmao

[@eightball8008]

so.. you don't like most comics?

[@legendfox2000]

You serious, dawg? Because there are many great male comics.

[@freddybell8328]

Why is he your type?

[@amaiaintxausti5660]

And I remember thinking.... Is that a professsion? XDDD That just cracked me up!

[@TravoltaLover]

Ahh, so lovable! Awesome job.

[@TheGoodfella2012]

Was that the best end to any comedy set ever? I think so. I think so. Damn that was smooth.

[@woihjsd]

He is incredibly good-looking. Love his smile.

[@ajaycbaby8837]

The fake cry was epic.

[@iiCamaxtli]

One of the best ones yet!

[@jacobjamar]

Watch it again...

[@poofer7600]

That last bit, priceless.

[@Billie4Mozzarella]

Genuinely funny, smart, really kept it going. Hope he goes far!

[@AnhNguyen-dc3sd]

The ending tho bahahaha love his humor

[@mrkymrk310]

Great material, great delivery. Give him an HBO or Comedy Central special.

[@Shanopely]

This was great! I hope this guy goes places :))

[@joshmos]

I want to see an hour special from Joel!!!!

[@samanthawho9591]

Oh my he was so funny. Laughed the whole time.

[@shiwalogo2]

that was SO GOOD. timing, his exit joke, refreshing new voice

[@AndromedaCripps]

That fake pout at the end was priceless 😂😂 he totally makes you feel awkward, concerned, and then you're laughing 😂😂

[@FinBrennan]

I like this guy. He's funny haha

[@jacobjamar]

Watch it again then

[@blockobutter]

I'm watching this video alone in front of a computer, but that moment after I realized he fake cried, I physically clapped so hard and cheered through the screen like an audience.

[@cliffside1]

Very funny.. the horse joke was the funniest.. good job..

[@kimnguyen1227]

best one I've seen so far!

[@JessDrinks]

Why did I only hear about this guy recently?!! He's freaking good

[@nickyw3133]

4:42 yooo I thought he was legitimately crying, he really got me😂😂, the timing and joke was perfect👌

[@BrentWigginsWords]

I'm glad to see some new faces of comedians here and on Netflix. Joel did very well on his deliveries and storytelling.

[@missmimi610]

Hilarious!! I love his style and his humor!! Never a dull moment, he flowed quite beautifully into each joke. It was a great set!

[@da96103]

Why were there a lot of Korean babies being shipped out overseas for adoption in the 80's and 90's? Remember the twin girls that were separated and given to two different families, one in US and one in France and one of them found the other through a youtube video?

[@JukuduB]

What he said about racism in the Midwest compared to South is the truth! I have lived both places. The South is obvious with it, the Midwest pretends they are not racist when they DEFINITELY are. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

[@arblahblah]

every time i look at it it's pixelated... lmao what a great joke

[@naruto00nix]

o.o this was surprisingly good. great timing and some very creative and genuine jokes.

[@avas132]

Such a good set, I laughed out loud from the beginning :)

[@elainechang1180]

Something (everything) about guy makes me want lots of good things to happen for him. :)

[@JusticeConstantine]

I am so glad there was a punch line to that last joke because I almost lost it.

[@demarriustolbert4288]

Omg is he still doing live performances; I need to see him. TIME NOW!!!!

well paced jokes, good delivery too. damn it janet!

[@averageconsumer007]

Clever boy, at the end, he gave an audition of his skills as an actor.

[@clarkparker4860]

Arguably the funniest guy I've ever seen perform on Conan

[@fridaymorning139]

His delivery is what makes his jokes so good!

[@OhElvira]

So good!

[@Marchant2]

Very funny! I'd like to see more of this guy.

[@ray_beas]
