Juggler Alexander Koblikov Performs

[@BigAppleCircusOrg]

We're so proud of having a talented performer, such as Alexander Koblikov, as part of our cast. It was a tremendous performance. Congratulations Alexander!

[@jugglingisaac8927]

he is an amazing performer you are lucky to have him in your show

[@mediamannaman]

Wow! I don’t think I’ve ever seen better - and I’ve been around for a while!

[@presto709]

Did he end with 10 balls?

[@BeepDerpify]

He had a 'deal with it' face the whole time 😂

[@clareomarfran]

And without a drop!!! totally insane.

[@garbage63]

It's great seeing decent juggling on national TV. Usually when juggling makes it on TV in America, it's just the same comedy juggling routines that have been regurgitated over the last 50 years. Alexander Koblikov is an absolute boss who's actually pushing the art form forwards as opposed to just giving the audience what they think they want. Thank You Stephen Colbert and whoever plans your guest list for giving this objectively fantastic artist some much deserved screen time! Also the band is great as per usual.

[@jugglingisaac8927]

i agree completely

[@UAlredyKnowWhatItIss]

juggling all those balls is amazing enough. but this is also the smoothest performance ive ever seen.

[@TheSilentHamish]

Holy heck! No wonder he can maintain that smug smirk on his face.

[@ahmaniuno]

Stephen Colbert's face when he walks up to shake his hand made my day! The face of a man who is well and truly entertained!

[@Fearl3ss234]

Coming from HIM, of all people.

[@jijojiho]

not even going to lie, this was an incredible segment from music to performance

[@Varendil]

Couldn't take my eyes away for even a second, the music and his performance were both amazing together.

[@KPTorrent]

What a fantastic, unique, and ENTERTAINING talent choice for the show! This is something I loved about Colbert from the very beginning of the Colbert Show - he seems determined to share talents and entertainers with us that HE enjoys and thinks could make the most out of the publicity bump he can offer. He doesn't just go with the most popular artist of the day in order to rack up ratings/views. It makes me trust his judgement in artists/entertainers so much more!

[@PacoOtis]

I've been a juggler for many years and this guy is fantastic! We jugglers don't mind that he does these complex moves, but we do mind that he makes it look so easy! LOL

[@antoniolewis1016]

This guy has balls.

[@KatyaArifinisnotreal]

2:25 And by the looks of it, breasts!

[@najmabegum9015]

😂suuuuu

[@milchbanane9087]

I see what you did there >:(

[@bram13]

No1 most common joke jugglers hear everyday

[@ayakotami3318]

😅

[@Thejugglingbum]

That five ball Mill's Mess was as smooth as silk.

[@jugglingisaac8927]

the whole routine was smooth he is amazing

[@landonjones3910]

I was freaking out when i saw it the first time and had to go back to watch. I can barely do 5 ball cascade, doing it in mills mess just seems insane

[@knorieworiebobsnor]

When he does the Mill's Mess with 5 balls, you know he's good.

[@knorieworiebobsnor]

+Lono RK If it might interest you, it's what he starts doing at 1:47.

[@TimoKanal]

Especially when he does the 10 Ball multiplex pattern ;)

[@knorieworiebobsnor]

Timo That's crazy as well, but I find that less satisfying to watch.

[@BenCritchlow]

5bmm is a pedigree trick. Back when I was younger and juggled a lot more I only managed around 60 catches and not clean in the slightest. Too see it done this smoothly and casually is so impressive to see.

[@TheReal7Bit]

The Music is fucking Beautiful, Jon Batiste and Stay Human are great

[@MarkLucasProductions]

The music sounded like crap to me. Am I wrong?

[@007NowOnline]

Indeed.

[@HonislavTheKing]

If it interests anybody, it's the original soundtrack of the film 'La moutarde me monte au nez' by Vladimir Cosma. Batiste's rendition was wonderful and the fact that it originates from a 1974 French comedy is fantastic. Great music choice as always, Jon!

[@TheReal7Bit]

Jan Doskočil Thank you so much for pointing it out, I would've thought it was something original

[@Montecore827]

Thanks for the info! The juggler chose the music, but the rendition was probably Jon's!

[@mann_von_welt]

That performance with that music...simply beautiful

[@summe1972]

This fellow has been showcasing his skills for YEARS! I am so happy that he is getting some more US recognition. Absolutely brilliant and scarily talented....

[@JEBavido]

He does the low and fast stuff that other jugglers will be impressed with, along with the high and flashy stuff the crowd loves. Talent!

[@PandaPawzTV]

I've never seen anyone look so cool juggling... while wearing a sailor outfit.

[@Pelmite]

especially with that face

[@Musicmonk84]

That was the coolest juggling I may have ever seen.

[@JoshMarshain]

did not expect that to be THIS AWESOME

[@RadislavPirgozliev]

A while back they were thinking is it possible to juggle 12 balls, now 15 balls are in the talk. 😇

[@dimavasilev5342]

Goddamn, this is like magic

[@shmookins]

I was going to say 'smooth as butter', but I don't think butter is even that smooth. Wow. Bravo. Bravo.

[@Samuel_Freakin_Adams]

What's your name man? "Alexander Koblikov. My name is Alexander Koblikov."

[@angel02sanchez]

"And there's is a million balls I haven't juggle, but just you wait, just you wait."

[@waltermontiel4405]

+Angel Sanchez "I am... juggler without past." *cue French soundtrack*

[@popetyrone]

That was astonishing

[@eskileriksson4457]

Unbelievably good performance, both the juggling and the music. So synced.

[@tdsims1963]

Thank you, Stephen. Nice to have some good old-fashioned fun for a break from the shitstorm that is the daily news

[@xxxxmimi]

he is so adorable. i just wanna hug him

[@AnEvolvingApe]

Call Professor X, we got ourselves a mutant here.

[@bencornish6910]

It really doesn't get any better than that.....mind boggling skill...

[@gh3slashguitar]

finishing with a 10 ball multiplex like it's nothing!

[@JtTheGreatSchism]

He defies the laws of physics and gravity like a cartoon character, he's freaking awesome.

[@Groundedsquirrel]

He makes it look so easy and relaxed. Wow!

[@heihei3453]

I can't even tie my shoes and this guy makes juggling a ball off his head look easy.

[@Technatura83]

Pfff, I can do that...hold my beer

[@technowey]

*Wow!* *Alexander* *Koblikov* *is* *an* *amazing* *juggler!*

[@StewChicken42]

Delightful music and tremendous skill :) Colbert, you've definitely got a great show going! Keep it up!

[@TheBanMan]

This should be the most viewed video on youtube

[@LoL12kricki]

Man this is awesome! Amazing that he's able to keep his cool, whenever I juggle for an audience I shake so bad I think I'll drop everything. Making me shake even more haha

[@ogladaczr.t.3168]

thats one chill alien

[@007NowOnline]

So cool. I've watched this like three times now. Also, the music is amazing, its very "catchy" (no pun intended). :P

[@BritishMoralHQ]

rare show of humility between old friends... bear and eagle...

[@DawidKov]

Bear? What bear are you talking about?

[@1TrueTube]

+David Kovalev I believe he is referring to the national animals of the countries represented in this video. Russia: Bear, USA: Eagle

[@thelousyllama]

Ukrain is not russia

[@DawidKov]

TheUberMedic First, Alexander is from Ukraine, although, for me (Russian) it was always a brother nation. Recent events have... damaged that relationship. Second, Russia's national animal is a two-headed eagle, represented in Russian coat of arms (search it on Wikipedia).

[@KBTW1]

@@DawidKov This comment is almost precient.

[@Aaron-kr5vg]

That was phenomenal

[@austinperry779]

nice vid stephen!!!

[@SceneComparisons]

classy

[@dahalofreeek]

I really enjoy the accompanying music too. Stay Human is a wonderful late night band, I love the use of the tuba for bass, it's such a colourful sound. This guy is amazing at juggling I was certain he had bit off more than he could chew when he picked all the balls up, this stuff is scary to watch.

[@damianchallis9214]

Imagine doing that looking up with studio lights dazzling you at the same time

[@smartmoneymatch3111]

Great juggling and band

[@nyyankee488]

that look on his face.. he knows he is good

a soundtrack from 'la moutarde me monte au nez' - i probably didnt spell that right tho

[@MarcelCircus]

Wow!!!

[@eskileriksson4457]

Still the world standard for juggling. Beat this, and you are the best.

[@scottpitner4298]

That last one must be so hard! It’s like 10 ball multiplexes (2) or something. Ridiculous!

[@Ssssssnakeisone]

[55] or in English a ten-ball duplex cascade, although the timing looks closer to standard seven-ball cascade because of skew caused by the staggered catch of crossing stacks. Hard as hell to be clean and consistent, but not as hard as ten-ball fountain I'd say due to crossing throws being inherently easier to deal with.

[@HoneyBadger1184]

hold my beer

[@bestguytrydie3494]

yo man im just here for the amazing tune the band was playing...

[@MatthewLedZepfan]

Whenever I watch juggling videos on KZbin, I always have to read the comments first so I can know that they don't drop anything. that's why I can never watch jugglers live, I get this really bad feeling in the pit of my stomach. I get too anxious that they'll drop something lol.

[@yomolwaspran1527]

Well, did did drop something at 2:03, but he just span around and grabbed it so fluidly and calmly that he might as well not have.

[@yomolwaspran1527]

+Yomol Waspran Or not. On closer inspection he was just getting a few more balls. So yeah.

[@jonathan99399]
