[@mewsikal]

What a cold crowd. The two worked hard for some well deserved laughs they never got.

[@kilafice3045]

they were absolutely mesmerized by the one and only luke cage

[@Zanzabarchocolate]

No, they are just tense from the Marvel black ops snipers in the lighting fixtures.

[@benrujo]

Well he wasn't that funny, but also he gave such a deadpan delivery.

[@MrGuitaristgamer101]

They're probably too stoned to process what's happening lol

[@benrujo]

2Good2BeTrue45 but he was also pretty dry. I don't like Kevin Hart, so it's not a prerequisite for black people to speak AAVE to be funny.

[@Swissthewarlock]

this is why marvel is winning it looks like they took luke cage straight of a comic book

[@V.elociraptor]

What's funny is that Mike is really quite corny in real life. Makes him perfect to play Luke.

[@CyborgNinja86]

Even funnier is on the show whenever Claire calls Luke out on being corny all the time. It's those fun, cute little moments that help make Luke Cage such a likeable character.

[@marxist-leninist-protagonist]

marvel casting is insane

[@mygaffer]

MCU sucks now.

[@LaitoChen]

What a Dull audience. The show is freaking amazing

[@NicKeLas]

Well, I like it when the guest and the host don't have to wait for the audience to get quiet to continue their speech. While Conan often interacts with the audience in a very funny way, I'd rather not acknowledge all all those people who are not on screen.

[@eruno_]

I much more prefer people actually listening to what others say instead of clapping and laughing like retards.

[@LaitoChen]

Kôito If they were listening to what he was saying they would have laughed at his saliva hyperbole and jokes.....they were half asleep

[@hjhall1985]

I was skeptical when they cast him cuz I hadn't really seen his work but he is excellent. the show is incredible.

[@TorsoManza]

really? I think he's awful

[@theclawyaww3740]

+TorsoManza thats just you buddy

[@TheWheezingSeeker]

if you think he was bad you don't know luke cage

[@TheRegionReactorsChannel]

He also played one of the protagonist is the Video Game, Halo 5. He did motion capture for most of the game. He was Spartan Locke amazing character.

[@Daemon1995_]

watch jessica jones

[@megag52]

mikes a real good sport. makes a lot of jokes and doesn't take himself to seriously. hopefully this is his big ticket

[@evilcatlady37]

quietest audience ever?

[@vww3606]

yeah. Felt bad for Conan and Mr Colter.

[@emanimation2926]

i think they have fear, because the secret marvel agents hidding in the public.

[@iDragid]

The audience missed the queue at 1:48 feelsbadman.

[@Karl_Drogo55]

Even when they did react/laugh it sounded half ass or like they were just waking up..lol

[@NicKeLas]

They would never let me be in the audience, I usually only smile and laugh inside my head.

[@incredibletom7099]

forward..... always

[@KyleSmith-ue3wi]

always forward

[@angeal97]

Thomas Harris that's so corny

[@NOUSNOKAY]

always

[@valkeriecic]

Thank you, Pops.

[@rulehelpful_killer4357]

I get it

If this guy was a chocolate I bet he'd have a hazelnut filling.

Sheeeeiiiiiiiiit

[@lopoptop]

Always.

Racist

[@Mr-WesleySnipzzz]

repeating episode 1 phase said by the black guy in the barbers

[@amrit44b]

wow..tough crowd

[@nickgonzales8111]

Why was the crowd so dull. He was pretty funny and humble and kept the conversation going

[@paulvbarbar9957]

His voice damaged my woofer. Now it's making this weird sound, on playing music. I am not kidding.

[@TheHumbleAv]

ahaha...really?

[@fongdimbulator]

Must be an overlooked super power.

[@issacsalazar7641]

I hate how dead the audience is!! jeez not even a chuckle lmao

[@NicKeLas]

I hope you're not the guy who loves the laugh track in sitcoms:)

[@tranquility2745]

@@NicKeLas How is that relevant to his comment?

[@NicKeLas]

@@tranquility2745 To me, those are the same. And I often find them both distracting and annoying. At least some sitcoms have successfully ditched that practice.

[@tranquility2745]

@@NicKeLas It isnt the same. It's just courtesy to laugh when a guest makes a joke and make them feel more comfortable. This audience's silence was just making him feel uneasy and weird.

[@tranquility2745]

@@NicKeLas Especially when he said I hope people enjoy the show and nobody made a sound. This is the first time I've ever seen that on any talkshow.

[@YeOldeStalin]

I love how calm and humble Mike Colter is. He was a brilliant choice for Luke Cage.

[@nukal4338]

cottonmouth is the M.V.P I don't want to spoil anything for anyone so I'll just leave it there

[@Tryhardblackguy]

Yea, that twist. Wasn't expecting that. Can't wait for Iron Fist and Defenders.

[@nukal4338]

Zein Alfurati exactly man I hope marvel gives cottonmouth another chance in some way I looked forward to his scenes more than Luke cage's

[@nukal4338]

Laker Ludz yeah he just couldn't fill in for cottonmouth

[@nukal4338]

Tryhardblackguy I'm really looking forward to black lighting I hope D.C can pull off a good show with him

[@Tryhardblackguy]

Zein Alfurati Yea Diamondback was meh. I think they just threw him in for the hardcore fans. But episodes 1 through 7 were fantastic.

[@vpe-vplayseverything7370]

he seems like nice guy to go on a morning walk.

[@TheHumbleAv]

is he like a dog to you?

[@Dave....]

Just make sure yall don't go for coffee. He hates coffee.

[@fdlarts7676]

I heard he likes Coffee

[@Butterflier00]

no...ever just want to go on a walk with a person and talk with them....

[@lowlypeasant]

This guy is perfection as Luke Cage.

[@jasonle4125]

My Boy Luke Cage

[@TwhyteMinecraft]

His voice is fantastic.

[@frozenfalcon253]

The live music in Luke Cage was awesome

[@superultramegamaga4021]

i binged watched..upt episode 10.. such a great series!! great writing directing acting .. the whole thing is great.. and diamond back is a PRICK.. :)

[@kilafice3045]

i wish they made they show cornier too.. if they went with a kung fu flick vibe this would've been epic.. i think they missed their chance. i didn't like the show that much till luke became that corny dude that decided to step into his role as a hero.. then i was sold.. luke cage is my homie.

[@superultramegamaga4021]

+kilafice fa real for real.. but luke cage is too powerful,.. kung fu bullet proof would of been over kill maybe.. but agreed would of been dope AF to see.. spinning back kicks through 7 buildings ..

[@ZenNeonRazor]

That would be more of Iron Fist. Luke Cage isnt much of a kung fu guy and if you havent noticed they are trying to keep it grounded not over the top unecessary action.

[@Kyanite.]

Joe H upt?

[@AntiFox08]

I feel like they are humanizing him. It's not something where they sort of jump into his super powers and him only kicking ass. It shows his private life and him not turned on all the time. I didn't like that it took a while for him to appear and it was a little while before he performed his first trick, but it was worth the wait. If I wanted the instant action, I'd go watch a movie.

[@Billie4Mozzarella]

Mike Colter is the love child of the two Old Spice dudes He's like if the big strong Terry Crews and the sultry sweet Isaiah Mustafah shared genes.

[@kaitlandpostley7267]

I love Mike Colter and thought he did an excellent job as Luke Cage. Can't wait for season 2

[@Myndrunner411]

Sweet Christmas!

[@courtney2823]

He was such a good choice to play Luke Cage! Really looking forward to Defenders and the next season :)

[@biggie321hp]

Conan and Mike Colter talking was so damn entertaining during this episode! And talk about perfect casting. Marvel just keeps nailing it in every area they try.

[@Shadowlord_777]

am I the only one who finds his voice soothing

[@blessedthemc8990]

im glad the show is doing well. i dont think this man deserved that kind of reaction from the crowd. seems like a great guy

[@Kaipyro67ALT]

Diamondback's first line; "CAN YOU DIG IT!?" made me go "...Wut."

[@Kaipyro67ALT]

***** I loved it at the same time though. XD Loved him.

[@thecolonel9938]

It's a reference to a movie can't remember name tho

[@H2ThaP]

Where you at you Jive Turkey! Fight you sucka! (Tariq Nasheed voice) 😂😂😂

[@Estreet321]

The Warriors

[@AhoiMina]

Those cheekbones 😍😍😍 That jawline 😩😩😩

[@tsac1374]

This guy has really good charisma

[@ItzEngelhart]

Jameson Locke. Finally have him on the show, sucks they didn't talk about his mission to bring in master chief

[@henrytm188]

LUKE CAGE ON CONAN? SWEET CHRISTMAS!

[@algerianjonsnow4911]

Iit's BETTER than Jessica Jones...But Daredevil's still the best Netflix series

[@jklhjkhjl]

what im waiting for is the punisher

[@MissMusicForYou]

Daredevil is the worst Netflix Marvel show lol.

[@MissMusicForYou]

Khepera Bowlin-Jones Yes it is. That doesn't mean it's a terrible show, but when compared to Jessica Jones/Luke Cage, it doesn't win out. Don't worry, Iron Fist will most definitely take it's place though.

[@jklhjkhjl]

MissMusicForYou i think we can all agree punisher will be the best though

[@AgentDerevko]

hell no! Jessica Jones is waaaaaay better.

[@tritonneptune3834]

Dat contrast though. love it.

[@armwrestlingfan6804]

wut?...

[@safr4527]

Luke cage destroyed netflix lol

[@Jason5818UI]

please explain?

[@josephrivera8256]

He's fantastic. I'm hoping the next season has him let loose a little more and writes Luke more charismatic

[@SuperMunkeh]

These Marvel shows on Netflix are so much better than I ever expected. I love the way each show has it's own vibe and themes. Jessica Jones felt like a noir detective show at times, Luke Cage is like a Blaxploitation film. Long may they continue making these top level TV shows!

[@dfrost-3690]

T’was not very long

[@KP-zd3hc]

Mike Colter would be the perfect Othello...

[@zduogaminghd4656]

2:10 that face 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@snowdjagha]

Another freaking great ass hero against an amazing villain in a Netflix show. God damn it! 3 out of 3!

[@y0Fiqqy]

This is the worst audience ever jeez

[@NadiaCianca]

God he is so god damn fine its insane omg

[@madmikelike1]

Just want to say I watched the hole show straight in one day. It was amazing. perfect casting for Luke cage and they change the plot form the orginal story in a good twist.

[@wantsumbread9586]

I don't care what think but after watching Luke cage. He's better then black panther. DAMN

[@kingraj333]

wait till the movie comes out bro. then make judgements lol.

[@nemqueteba21]

Than!!!

[@popeye697]

why are you comparing those two completely different charcters specifically?

[@siavm]

Wantsumbread so he can't be better than a white hero? And black panther is from Africa. So you need a better statement. And coolness better not be how you come to this. Cause the next comment I say will be longer.

[@wantsumbread9586]

siavm You know you've gone off topic here right

[@jackconorria4033]

Whoa, I just finished the show about 10 minutes ago. Anyway, two thumbs up!

[@AnActualDinosaur]

I thought Luke Cage was going to be good. I was wrong, it's amazing.

[@AngelAllenson]

Poor Mike walked in on a university lecture class at 3pm when the caffeine is starting to wear off and everybody gotta go to their night jobs afterwards.

[@aaroncameron406]

Luke Cage was fricken awesome!

[@jeblijebli]

What a clean voice. Really gifted.

[@Kem1kal13]

Spartan Locke decided to finish the fight back in Harlem after getting pwned by Chief lol.

[@ohdannyboy4727]

Sweet Christmas! This guy is killin it. I've wanted a Luke Cage movie/show for so long. I remember the first episode of shield I thought he was gonna be in it. Cage has surpassed everything I wanted!

[@TheGamingGamerPig]

Oh Conan...What could we do without you.

[@Roman-wd1it]

BEST MARVEL SERIES ON NETFLIX TODAY!!!

[@caitlinbrewer4843]

can't wait to see him and Iron Fist team up

[@DirtyFrigginHarry]

When they go for the commecial break and go in close to each other and the audio fades, andy and conan are actually saying "Hail Marvel"

[@stargate12345678]

Pfft Luke Cage? No no no no no, this is Spartan Locke, leader of Fireteam Osiris.

[@zan3958]

"It was me and him, don't know why they picked me" 😂

[@SnackersZ15]

Forgot how much I love the verb "jive".

[@jordanmccabe6529]

I feel really bad for him, because Mike is actually really funny in this video and the audience is really giving him nothing here :(

[@metallicak5]

damn that crowd is DEAD. Tough crowd lol

[@siopowar]

I wasnt even paying attention to the audience until I saw the comments. Maybe they were captivated by his voice.

[@andretitan4193]

"Long Live the Chief" the show has a great soundtrack everything from the classics to wu tang. I watched 11 episode in one night. Great character casting, from Luke Cage to Cottonmouth, from Diamondback to Detective Misty (damn she is fine) this show has a lot of style... there were definitely some weak points but the stuff that really mattered they hit with a mythical hammer. Haven't watched Jessica Jones but i can't wait for Iron Fist, one of my favorites.

[@JoshBlanksby]

Seriously dead crowd, poor guys.

[@ZenNeonRazor]

Show was really good finished it in 2 days. Especially at the end. But im anticipating Iron Fist. Cant't wait.

[@Billie4Mozzarella]

Also! Fun fact! Nick Cage named himself after Luke Cage :) who was his favorite superhero (no mystery why, he was dang cool) Wonder if he likes the show.

[@alifmhdnr6889]

His head is brighter than my future

[@ciaofficial1723]

is it weird that bulletproof love starts playing on my head when i see this person from the comic book?

[@patrickhicks9880]

mike colter is good in black and blue i love this actor

[@sogeking6925]

I don't why I tought of that but does BBC know that their channel is called Big Black Diugh (BBC)?

[@ldelinlive]

dashie?

[@ddbb6047]

It's been a fun ride watching the show. I think he was cast perfectly.

[@frankstanks4399]

Conan. I'm Pregnant. Yeah. It's not yours.

[@90PapaMike]

I'm in love with him... his voice! I love his voice* 😅

[@Velexarian]

People forget that he's Spartan Locke

[@BRICKIRONJAW]

Everytime I watched Luke Cage and interviews with Mike Colter, I have to do a double take because I keep seeing Terry Crews.

[@its_tru]

his voice is kingly

[@youngcbrad]

Beautiful voice this man has.

[@ishansaha24]

His voice is so awesome

[@krystalw.5332]

Colter makes a great Luke Cage. Good work. Well done.

[@naveenjeet6565]

Glad to see Lemond Bishop turned his life around

[@trackboy17]

It was that dude who COUGHED!!

[@nuno09]

I thought it was Terry Crews at first, then I saw the description

[@MrGuitaristgamer101]

Conan: "Luke Cage came around the scene around 1970?" Colter: "' '72 yeah" This guy does his homework lol

[@h4a2u0s]

I don't understand the random blocking of certain videos. I can watch this video but the new one with Norm isn't available in this area? WTF.

[@Drambles77]

Luke Cage was amazing. Colter nailed it!

[@russ6187]

Spartan Locke is a Marvel Superhero? Who knew XD

[@XercesandAlexander]

Can't wait to see it!

[@XercesandAlexander]

***** Had no idea it was on. I just saw the clip and thought he was going to be on an upcoming film lol

[@quronwallace]

this new show broke netflix...i mean it was the most streamed show ever

[@DirtySouthGaming]

Jeez tough crowd or what?

[@matthewevans3543]

They're keeping his DNA for the Spartan program

Could just get it up on the computer and take a picture of the screen using your phone and then would make it obsolete.
