So happy to see mo he come long way so proud to see him made it 🎉.

[@Disc0infern088]

Same, I went to school with Mo and I always think back to when our English teacher said to him "Mo, you won't get anywhere in life being a class clown" 😂

[@ryanbrown5197]

Yeah he drank the golden juice

So proud of this guy, he's done so well. From "Get a couple cans love" to THIS!!!!

[@jahsoldier3297]

Have ya watched the o2 special black British takeover? It's on here

[@Yxsufyt]

Mo has come a long way 😂 being on Jimmy Fallon show is mental

[@iamaced479]

They just looking for a new James cordon who will sell out for $$$

[@MeandMumzyReacts]

Protect Mo at all costs 😂🙏🏼.. The only guy that puts humour in this world without offending anyone and puts smiles on our faces

[@harrytrent13]

That's why he's not funny offensive comedy is the best

[@MeandMumzyReacts]

@@harrytrent13 he is funny though, British humour is about realiting to same life situations and also when you watch Mos stand up everything he says I relate that I use to do the same thing when I was younger

[@harrytrent13]

@MeandMumzyReacts fair enough pal I get that just not the comedy I relate to or enjoy mo seems like a great guy though good to see him doing well

[@Shukz123]

@@MeandMumzyReactsI’ve been watching him since his insta skits and I knew he was gonna blow up, loved his Netflix specials but weirdly enough when I watched him live at the O2 I really didn’t find that particular set funny

[@robgoudie1540]

He offends me - with how shit his comedy is.

[@IWAYAE]

3-4 different accents in 7 minutes. Man and his team are plotting well!! Very good Mo. Very good.

[@solshields]

Every American accent sounded like the same guy

[@shona5512]

​@@solshieldsStereotypical Californian accent. The accent of the black guy standing behind him in Inglewood. Plus the Jamaican accent. Plus the cockney accent. Plus his own voice. There's a distinct difference in them all, perhaps you're just deaf.

[@solshields]

@@shona5512 "every american accent" *brings up cockney and jamaican* maybe you're just illiterate

[@gaztintin3537]

Need to get both Jimmys & Seth on the Big Narstie ……… is America ready for this? 😂😂😂😂😂. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIavlaOEj8R1ntksi=XFedc3P9OiPCohhu

First 30 seconds Fallon goes ‘im a big fan of yours’ which is a lie and then goes ‘in the UK Times’ - that’s not even a newspaper 😂

[@blahzay_]

If you say “The Times” to anyone in NYC they’ll think you mean the New York Times, that’s why he added the “UK”. Jimmy is a huge Anglophile, he spends a lot of time over there…he’s pretty clued-in to UK stuff tbf
