[@TheC.O.-VISIT]

I think Josh is the modern day Carlin. He's not just doing standup, he gets people to think.

[@DrFunkman]

He reminds me of Dave Chapelle right after he disappeared from Hollywood. The media said rumors about him doing drugs and stuff, but he actually just went around the country doing stand up in clubs doing a more introspective approach to comedy and showed he was doing comedy for the sake of doing comedy rather than money

[@sethie_shots]

I do wish the people that need to hear, do. He seems to intentionally not be divisive maybe to lure in closed minded folks

[@DavidMcMinoway]

HE is incredibly insightful. Like a comedy scalpel

[@papacarl2002]

You nailed it /

[@oneslice5059]

I agree👍

[@marisaJ1]

I've never seen a comedian who does so many shows, every week or so there's a new show with completely new material. He educates you and keeps you caught up with topical issues and he's fair. He shows compassion as well as intelligent and he's so funny and relatable too. I have mad respect for him and how hard he's working. I'm glad he's really blowing up.

[@annehatter3319]

Yes!

[@shirleymason3853]

I agree and i’m an old white lady 😂 and I love standup comedy several yrs back I took my 3 daughters to a Kathleen Madigan show and it was a lot of fun and I know florida is a vacation/retirement state so it felt like she was walking a line a bit… but it was still good and hilarious…. I think Josh is definitely a new still climbing young man with stardom definitely in his past present and his future very well spoken and I would like to know how he got rid of his louisiana southern accent but florida very similar in many ways to Louisiana including swamps and Gators but southern accent as well… I would like to figure that one out myself… ❤

[@jaimeanderson9187]

Same. Also, love how he was still stocking grapes at the grocery store after the Fallon gig. Man after my own heart! Who gets struggle and overcomes!

Josh Johnson philosophy is delightful, his moral compass points true north. I think that’s what I like most about him, being inside his head is pleasant, never nasty, always curious, and he promotes a generally peaceful vibe. Great show.

[@vegansydmost1345]

As an old-school editor, i thank Josh so much for good language use: "among" instead of "between", knowledge of semantics, music to my ears.

Eloquent.. his semantics are “on point!” I love that he limits the use of “like,” his speech is music to my ears❤

I've been a lawyer for 20+ years. Please believe that Josh has what it takes to be a good lawyer if he ever wanted to. But then the world would be deprived of one of its best comedians. Great guest choice and great questions.

[@PythiaHiereia]

I didn't know much about Josh Johnson until I came across his standup a few months ago and now I am so hooked. His style is so fresh and engaging, and everyone who I've shared his videos with agrees. Thank you for having him on your show!

Josh is a comedian, pastor, and philosopher all in one! Doesn’t surprise me that he comes from a warm nest!

[@debbirhodes7185]

Yes!!!

[@tmvg1774]

So you ask why he got so popular? It's cuz he is absolutely real and genuine and he doesn't hate. The last one is so important: often when people speak about musk or trump, there is a sliver of hatred in their tone, a lick of disdainful vitriol in their words. Josh doesn't do that. At least to me it seems like he doesn't, there is mercy and grace even when he takes them down a peg. It seems to me that he has a truely compassionate heart and i love what he says here about wanting to build a community of friends, not seeking any glory for himself.

True he sees their faults and shortcomings and humanizes them instead of demonizing them.

[@KristineMaitland]

He's also fair. Right, left, libertarian, he will comment on them.

[@melissah8415]

It's amazing how Josh can so quickly write jokes for current topics! I love his style of telling stories relating topical political, social, and pop culture to peoples' everyday lives. Being very funning AND making deep, poignant social commentary at the same time is such a talent and will take this man very far. I've never seen a comic who takes such good care of his audience. I'm not even sure what I mean by that, but it's the feeling that comes from him in his standup.

[@RumoHasIt]

My business motto for the last 2 years has been: "We exist to be of service to the community." When asking ourselves what moves we need to make, we always go back to that mission statement and let it guide us. Josh resinates with me so much because he walks thar same path. He really is creating a community of kindness and mercy that encourages people to better understand themselves and EACH OTHER. All so we can maybe enjoy the good times and the bad times both, just a bit more. Thank you so much for what you do Josh.
