[@Brandon-os3qr]

Anyone who's never seen his KZbin channel, this dude creates more new material than any comedian I've seen, and somehow it's still all gold

[@fatuousinnovatorofsadness4640]

I really really want to see what a stand-up special would be like for him nowadays

[@ShawnHaning]

for real, that's a great sub. dude got new material somehow like every other day and I haven't heard a bad set yet.... until this one. might be Jimmy's bad publicity energy

[@Mrssparklesprite]

Absolutely this!!!

[@maggiefranks6849]

fr this set doesn't do him justice. Josh Johnson is too funny! Him catfishing the KKK is one of my favs

[@Varizen87]

He also does 2 pod casts. Love the Josh Johnson Show with cohost Logan Nielsen. Other one he cohosts with Dulce Sloan.

[@LiquidDiamondFlute]

The energy from the crowd wasn't good, they seemed too stiff... but Josh is killing it in the clubs, the weekly sets premiered on his channel lately have me laughing hard every time

[@supercherries5119]

Agreed, the crowd is a bit too "studio" and sound like they're reacting based on some producer's feedback and not paying enough attention to the stories. Josh is killing it as always! Non-studio audiences definitely are more engaged. Glad to see him get another spot on late night!

[@theodiggers]

@@supercherries5119 def agree, his club sets are fire, like all of them. the big audiences and josh aren't resonating, yet.

[@LiquidDiamondFlute]

"Too studio" is spot on But yeah, still glad to see him on the show...hoping it brings in some new audience members so he can stop being underrated. I was almost angry when I saw his tour live and the club wasn't completely sold out lol

[@trishahardhearted]

I noticed that too! His observational humor isn't always "ha-ha" funny. But he cracks me up. I love his pacing, his stories and his wit.

[@gautambudidha1110]

This is why clubs serve drinks.

[@heatherkaye8653]

He is my current favorite comedian! It's unbelievable how fast his jokes come out. He's so freaking intelligent, like an entire writers room in one person.

[@gingerhitzke9185]

Same! My current fave.

[@tombombadil2054]

Gotta be honest. Me too. Love his casually hilarious vibe. And he is prolific. He puts out so much material. I swear, if I see a headline on Monday, it feels like I'm watching his set on it on Tuesday.

[@micaela5461]

Couldn’t agree more

[@FeedMeCoffee]

Josh is my new fave too. Love how much new stuff he does. Check out Nate Bargatze on SNL in Nov. 😂Similar patter, funny, southern.

[@BOOMNERD51]

I've been binge watching the Josh Johnson Show With Logan Nielson podcasts. Amazingly addictive! ❤

[@Hazeynymph]

Crowd seemed weak, he’s hilarious😂

[@Mozzarella-and-Tomato]

@@johnsullivan518 I think he was just (understandably) nervous, some of those jokes hit hard in his youtube-videos when he has the full confidence and a comedy club audience

[@kellyalves756]

I think they aren’t mic’ed properly. I can hear them, but they seem farther away than they actually are.

[@suzandouglass5241]

So funny! Glad to see him getting some attention. He's a great storyteller, which makes some of his longer pieces really good.

[@JoshJohnsonComedy]

Thanks so much! If you’re looking for more, I post weekly sets on my channel!

[@W4TSKY]

He deserved a better crowd - he was great!

[@mileslaw]

Dude is posting on KZbin like daily and still got new materials, got to respect the hustle.

[@gingerhitzke9185]

Right?! Every day.

[@Crowelephant]

He's the only comedian on KZbin where, when I see his thumbnail, it feels like correspondence from an old friend. Bro does not sleep. He's going to be running this field in a few years.

[@JoshJohnsonComedy]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@nucnuc7591]

He is unbelievable

[@dark_neverland]

Looove anytime josh johnson performs. His timing is impeccable

[@nicholasgarrick8855]

Thank you jimmy for giving josh johnson attention as a comedian he is so hilarious, and a great storyteller love him i enjoy the chills vibes 😂👍🏽.

[@rikkiechambers4959]

Found this young man on KZbin not to long ago .. he is funny and is gonna go far !

[@lesleyd2448]

Same and agree 💜

[@chenelmcechron9832]

Same, he's great❤

[@jayjordan9371]

Been following JJ for 7mos now. He'll be appearing at Helium: Buffalo,NY in April. Ordering tickets tonight 🎟 🎟

[@JupiterElNino]

I loved watching his face take in the size of the crowd and the size of the moment. We're all so proud of you Josh👏🏾🥹

[@johnsullivan518]

Lmao, this ain't nothing to him. Yuck. Cringe. Remove your inane comment.

[@simmiedavissimmiesings8185]

Yep. I thought he was going to say Wow!

[@stelis1006]

I am so stoked to see Josh Johnson on here! I am such a fan, he's the best!

[@868Elle]

The way I squealed upon realising that Josh got such an awesome opportunity! He's hilarious and massively underrated.

[@Tonyhouse1168]

I can’t believe Josh took a break from filming weekly hilarious comedy bits to come on this show. Love you brother!

[@cazuh1]

Check again. The goat is keeping us fed

[@mom.left.me.at.michaels9951]

Seriously and on the Daily Show now. This man just churning out content 🎉

[@stacypeterson3685]

While the writers were out, I watched Josh Johnson to get my news updates ❤

[@lynnhettrick7588]

Same! He got me through the writers' strike!

[@JoshJohnsonComedy]

Thanks so much!

[@lome2g1]

JJ is going places. Am rooting for him. He’s funny, smart and sounds very educated. Mad Props JJ 🫡

[@nancyhernandez2271]

My absolute favorite comedian!!!! Way to go Josh!!!!

[@mewmixify]

Josh’s material always sounds like he has a team writing for him. Awesome! I can’t wait to see him live one of these days.

[@johnsullivan518]

He does

[@mom.left.me.at.michaels9951]

He's also been a part of the writing team for the daily show for a while now.

[@avataraarow]

Hey for anybody who doesn’t know, Josh has his own podcast called the Josh Johnson Show! Him and Logan kill it as cohosts, and it’s probably my fave comedy podcast personally. Basically just an hour of Josh and Logan telling stories like this but longer, and it deserves more listens because it’s so good!!

[@dawnmaestascowell6930]

He killed it ! Native love from Portland Oregon

[@mom.left.me.at.michaels9951]

Also his KZbin channel constantly cranking out gold sets.

[@thatdarncass]

Josh Johnson is my favorite comedian! I'm glad he's starting to get recognition. It's fun hearing a few of the bits he's polished up from his KZbin channel.

[@hellokittyangel211]

Agreed and same. You should checkout his Podcast The Josh Johnson Show. I'm NOT a Podcast, Spotify, or an Apple person, but I DO own an iPad Pro (do to a failed business venture) AND ran out of official Josh Johnson internet contant, so I hopped over the Podcast to catch the full content from the Podcast clips and its the best free entertainment decision I made in a while. I've since downloaded other podcast, but I cant really bring myself to listen to them unless it either has him or his best friend/co-host/showrunner/ opener of choice Logan Nielsen on it. However, despite both finding Logan's other projects HIGHLY amusing (by my standards), I STILL find myself returning to The Josh Johnson Show as my staple go to Podcast despite being currently being caught up on all the episodes.

[@charlesgallagher1376]

Josh is naturally funny. I’ve been watching him on KZbin the past few weeks. He’s very timely on news

[@celestialnubian]

Josh Johnson has earned a couch spot. I would've much rather Jimmy interviewed Josh than have him do a rushed set.

[@cas4040]

Yes

[@yolandaweaver1877]

I so agree that he's earned a couch spot

[@jamarforsythe7262]

I think this was his doing, lately it seems Josh has reset his whole approach, like he's in a second wind of his career. Changed his look, his timing and style, even the jokes are more relatable and less weirdly edgy. He seems to want to walk the road of a comic doing the groundwork again.

[@richieg1887]

I was thinking this isn't his venue and the set wasn't long enough for his style. The crowd was a little to for away for the normal interaction. Love this guy, glad to see the recognition. Hope to see him soon on his own special.

[@stinkyfingers1617]

Yes let’s let the giggle master interview him

[@rebeccalj6811]

This guy is the funniest. The audience didn’t laugh nearly as much as I did! I mean, I LOVE that shoelaces joke. Absolute gold.

[@Bee-ks8tl]

He’s so talented and he constantly posts new content more than any other comedian I know it’s insane (and it’s not all crowd work like other comedians)

[@elenawilliams32]

The comedians who post only their crowd work are usually touring a show, so if they upload all the anecdotes and jokes then there's nothing new for the audiences who buy tickets to their shows. I agree with you though, Josh has an incredible breadth of work... And he's hilarious.

[@charlottecaywood1099]

I’m so glad he’s getting these spots booked! He deserves it!!

[@mystikceleste]

I’m so glad you had Josh on. I’ve been following him on TikTok for awhile now and he’s so funny. He definitely deserves all the attention!

[@hibyenow20]

You go, Josh!! It's awesome to see him working so hard and making all of us laugh with some thought. 🤗

[@JoobieLoobieSoobie]

I have my notifications on for Josh's YT channel because his live standup on current events cannot be missed. Love him so much!! He's coming for a seat at a late night desk, everyone, I guarantee it

[@FLIRTTISHES]

JJ is real. Being truly authentic is a gold standard in comedy. Nice to see that he is getting the recognition he deserves!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@XxPushoverxX]

Josh is so funny I love his attitude and demeanor. He's genuinely hilarious

[@musicalqueen716]

Yes! 🎉Josh Johnson, so deserving!

[@AlexK-ew1mo]

Josh Johnson's delivery is so calm... like a 911 operator

[@purrehype]

Josh Johnson is great! I watched the Escaped Convict standup recently and was crying laughing. The podcast he’s on with Dulce Sloan is EVEN better. Those two together, arguing…man, too good

[@LindaC616]

The one he has with his friend Logan is good, too

[@lesleyd2448]

Ohhhh I missed the convict one. Going there now!!

[@hakeemblake3653]

He's so tiny

[@adrienneranney1284]

​@hakeemblake3653 Well, at least his shoes are tied...

So funny. I love comics that go all over the place then bring it all back at the end. Iconic

[@aishac9301]

He’s amazing glad to see him being recognized more

[@TheKayleeanna]

Josh Johnson is awesome! 😀 Glad you had him on your show too! We all need more Josh Johnson comedy! 😎

[@JokesandJudgement]

Yaaaaaay! I like this guy. I'm glad he is getting some well deserved attention.

[@terabyte3275]

I live for watching Josh Johnson's comedy shows recounting current events 😂

[@hiananyaa]

Josh Johnson is a king. Literally one of my favorite comedians rn

[@f.demascio1857]

Right on Josh. Sharing a stage with The Roots! Lifelong dream right there.

[@johnsullivan518]

Umm. Done it a bunch. Nothing earth shattering

[@Crowelephant]

That was a stiff crowd, but you made it work. Could tell you were a little nervous, too. You got this! You're the only comedian on KZbin where I see your thumbnail for a new video, and I'm immediately happy, because it feels like correspondence from an old friend. You got both quality and quantity on your side. Own it.

[@williamcrowe2576]

You know you'd made it in the stand-up business when you get a guest appearance on the Tonight Show.

[@JB-bm1to]

Josh is hilarious and might be my favorite comedian now!

[@smorris7713]

So glad he's getting more recognition!!!

[@lucyslotta7768]

Josh Johnson is a legend! Very good choice for the tonight show

[@joannekeane2126]

Awesome! Way to keep it authentic and real. I noticed that when you spoke to the audience to acknowledge the moment, they really opened their hearts. 💖🎉

Awe, man! So good to see Josh on the Late Night show!❤🎉

[@HazelwithaZ]

My favorite comedian. Hands down.

[@brynneholt1990]

I hate podcasts…but I might have to check that one out!

[@avataraarow]

@@brynneholt1990 check out his personal podcast with The Josh Johnson Show too! It’s basically just Josh and another standup comic Logan telling stories of all the crazy bullshit they’ve seen and experienced, with some occasional episodes just writing scripts for movies about porta-potty based murders. It’s the best

[@lashendawest7509]

We love Josh Johnson
