The moms v dads joke is SO on point.

[@TabethaAurochs]

After 44 yrs, I'd accepted the fact that the sole purpose of my mother's life - her raison d'etre - was to make me LOSE MY MIND over stuff I really don't care all that much about... Now, I'm considering the possibility that this may only account for - 75-83%??? - of her life's purpose... 🤯

The guitar intro here was 10/10

[@blackbird5634]

*IF you haven't seen it ''Operation Finale'' is a movie based on the kidnapping and trial of Adolph Eichmann in which Nick Kroll plays a Mossad agent. It's a good film and Nick can actually act, he's very good.

He looks so different from yesterday on Fallon... well.. he looks good on both shows :)

What kind/brand of guitar are we hearing in Nick's entrance music? I believe we hear it in Seth's theme song also. So nice!

He should reboot the kroll show

He works hard to seem like an everyman I bet most don't know he's a nepotism baby with a literal Billionaire father

I wanted to hear more about who would high five a baby

my favorite youtuber. always staying out of drama. always caring for their fans. always keeping it real with their fans. giving back to their fans. thank you.

[@Wellsthemartian]

I recently learned that His family is literally evil. His parents are super rich and they do a lot to harm our society. But just thought I would share

[@30fan1]

Whats the song the band plays when Nick kroll walks in?!?

[@michaeladams6847]

Nick is on here so much he could legitimately ask for royalties. And that's just fine with me 🍿

[@lilacswithtea]

wow those were some harsh cuts

[@NewMessage]

I feel for him... Finding a child size leather gimp mask must be difficult.

[@MsIngPeaces]

It isn’t

You made it weird.

That was a strangely edited segment

[@davidt3956]

Years back, I was at an airport and saw very young kid wandering around alone. I asked a woman stranger to go up and ask the kid if things were ok and where the parents were, exactly for what they were talking about.

[@foxlies2616]

Netflix - where the not even VHS worthy stuff is getting issued.

[@ambrosuabaliarte5682]

His parents are billionares

[@dwinz1]

Look into what his parents did at Kroll associates

"There's something very cool and noble about comedy." Discuss.

[@newmoon766]

You asked for it. Comedy is about the unexpected. If we couldn't find the unexpected funny, we'd all just go insane. Depression has been characterized as "learned helplessness". That is, not being able to find the humor in the unexpected is a recipe for depression. That's one cat's point of view. Cats absolutely have a keenly developed sense of humor, which is why they are so nonchalant when they do something embarrassing. ("I meant to do that, obviously.") Cats are cool, noble, and WAY funnier than dogs when they are captured on camera making mistakes, or just being themselves. (Dogs are also okay.)

[@S.Pociecha]

@@newmoon766, thanks for your contribution. You imply that comedians like Seth and Nick are nobly helping others to perceive and experience humor, and thus are fundamentally healers. Should comedians have malpractice insurance, for example for those occasions when they inadvertently goad utterly inappropriate thugs into becoming president?

[@jbuster9]

Now, if I had a show and Nick Kroll came on, I'd wait for him to sit down, then hock a big loogie in my mouth and pretend to spit in in his lap and THEN say "HELLO, NICK!" Why do I have to think about all the great jokes?

[@Wellsthemartian]

Isn’t nick krolls father a super villain in real life. And isn’t nick kroll just a hedge fund baby that’s ignoring the harm his family is doing to the world? Or we just ignore that he’s literally a “useful idiot”

[@jayjeckel]

Yep, he's a hack that used his father's dirty money to buy his way into the business.

[@jakestroll6518]

Yeah, not his fault he was born to that vileness but he shouldn’t be acting like his dad is an amiable dentist and not a billionaire from clearing up messes for people like Weinstein.

[@Romana6794]

No

[@DiscoDashco]

Well, yeah I feel you’re correct for the most part. I saw a song posted on Instagram recently about certain artists who come from money, and the singer mentioned that he (Nick Kroll) has a rich daddy who covered all his rent the entire time he was making a name for himself in the industry. In his latest Netflix special, he did that joke about how much he hates his mom, and upon learning about his Dad after hearing that joke, it would seem like his disdain toward his Mom was not mellow drama at all, but genuine. And it makes sense too that he loves his Dad and shows complete respect for him but shits on his Mom given the ways in which he describes having no patience for her at all whatsoever, because Daddy is the one who pays his bills, not Mom. I still find him hilarious, but I can’t help but to feel like I’ve lost a lot of respect for him given all this context. It felt just like the first (and last) time I ever mustered up the effort to watch any Louis C. K’s stand up; I only saw ONE of his sets, and the way he laced into his ex-wife, whilst gritting his teeth and throwing out every obscenity you could think of as he was describing her immediately made me feel like he wasn’t joking at all, but the audience was still expected to laugh regardless. I didn’t, because I never thought he was funny to begin with, and now in hindsight I find my intuitions were correct about him, because he ended up being an actual scum bag after all IRL.

[@readthescroll]

So glad someone pointed out that his dad is Jules Kroll who is a huge POS

[@nfornargess]

The biggest war for feminism and human rights is happening in Iran, right now. If you're living on earth and you're being silent, you don't get to talk about women rights anymore! #MahsaAmini

[@davidadams4329]

Nick Kroll? Maybe next time you can have a guest that's actually funny

[@lilylenarzhooyman5242]

his dad worked for Weinstein

[@Hayri2011]

Lots of people worked for Weinstein.
