When I first discovered Reggie, I had to go on a deep dive of his performances to figure out what his real voice sounded like. He had this thing where he almost never used his normal speaking voice for a couple years and it was wild.

[@alexandgarciacalle]

So true

[@jasons6368]

@outside agitator Whoa, I remember them. I had no idea he was involved.

[@prodestrian]

I loved the stuff he did with Soulive

[@daviddomaguina9578]

Now reggie works on corden

[@carlosortega3d]

I like that when he speaks you never know if he's doing a bit or talking/answering something serious :)

[@jasonleong7151]

Reggie thrives on making the audience feel uncomfortable and clueless about what they are witnessing, and then hitting them with some incredible harmonies, so good!

[@senorhayomayo]

Reggie: “…you know what I’m saying,” Everyone: “maybe?”

[@joshuafontenot2548]

Being from southern Louisiana, this is beyond hilarious. Reggie is NAILING it.

[@vladimirvladimirovich5712]

[@JustinSmithXenoabe]

I love watching people come fresh into this kind of absurd comedy and just be so confused.

[@TheRealGod18]

I think I'm one of them.

[@bigraydawg11]

I watched this clip live on TV. Reggie watts looks exactly the same. And it’s crazy how time flies. I’m gonna miss Conan.

[@fedora997]

The only thing thats changed with Reggie is his hair goes down now

[@jessed9145]

Reggie got swole and lost a bunch of weight man. Still seems like the same weirdo we all love though

[@Prederick]

What I love about this (and Reggie) is that there's barely any understandable phrases in this song, and yet I know all the words and it feels like I've heard it before.

[@nothanks5220]

Reggie is so unbelievably talented. He's going to go on to even greater things. Awesome.

[@whatsabryan]

I’ve said it for years and I still believe it. Reggie Watts is not of this world.

[@mejohn101]

Legend has it, that once upon a time, in a land far, far away, LSD questioned if it were on human and it called itself Reggie.

[@danielwilliams7562]

Genius is never recognized in it's own time

[@vulcan4705]

This is one of my favorite Reggie performances! Everything he does is enigmatic. I hope he makes a special again soon.

[@jwallaby7895]

4:35-4:40 Reggie Watts. The only person to PERFECTLY /SIMULTANEOUSLY emulate, D'Angelo, Prince, and a kookaburra. Ya feel?!

[@treeshade2560]

4:58 When Reggie raises his fist at the end my whole body had goose bumps

[@garywhitt98]

A fantastic musician refusing your right to take him seriously. Lovely.

[@hanshaveron]

More of this guy please

[@stebopign]

isnt he corden's band?

[@blacksabbath0007]

Damn... Reggie is f talented! Way under rated artist!!

[@blacksabbath0007]

@CC yes.. cause tiktok is extremely important in our generation and I judge everyone's importance based on how much following that person has on tiktok. I live and die by tiktok. The world would collapse without tiktok. And because Reggie doesn't have presence in tiktok, I'm saying he is not famous. Your shining intelligence has blinded my vision. I bow before your wisdom, oh wise one. Troll someone else.. bloody nincompoop.

[@sujalgautam9761]

Conan ending late night is a major part of my life i still cannot believe

[@jessicajohnston9277]

He's only moving networks not ending altogether

[@icedbannanas]

Best example of never EVER judge a book by its cover. Amazing, Reggie forever.

[@YOitsJohnDough]

Definitely one of the best reposts I've ever seen. Whoever decided to do this and get Reggie the exposure and recognition he deserves did a service unto us all. He's got an app! so get yourself together!

[@FuccoTheClown]

that never gets old. just amazing and hilarious

[@seanwelch71]

He's an artist.

[@mchlselects]

a true treasure that none of us deserve..and yet, reggie be! big up reggie! and all the people brought into light from his warmth and wit

[@MayaState]

I smiled throughout this whole thing

[@Heirllionaire]

Me too

[@LariskiAgard]

Oatmeal and sugar!

[@patreekotime4578]

Correct!!!

[@rufflazy2366]

I must have watched this one hundred times, dear Reggie Watts.

[@dangre00]

I love Reggie with all my heart and soul

[@aemontarg6934]

H3H3 with Marc Rebillet, Flying Lotus and Reggie did that same exact beat and vocals, music really do be different but the same LOL

[@ZurSacheBitte]

Every single second was just perfect !

[@ewintertyler]

I’ve loved Reggie ever since the Comedy Bang Bang show😂 I love his weirdness

[@ellerbemt]

I remember this episode because it aired on my birthday, and every year since I watch this on my birthday and it's just as hilarious now as it was then

[@themollygrove]

this is exactly the video i needed to see

[@illygah]

This aired a couple weeks before my 23rd birthday. I'd never seen anything like it before. Reggie Watts is one of those people who actually blew my mind with music. Him, John Lennon, Beethoven and Philip Glass

[@Dan-wq8id]

Reggie you have so much energy and talent my faith in music and life is restored!

[@zibberebbiz]

my friend's been posting a lot of Marc Rebillet streams and I'm just like yeah he's not bad, but.. he's just Regie Watts without seasoning

[@Winteramen]

This was amazing

[@hankbenson7535]

Reggie could do a fun accompaniment with D'Angelo (Reggie would play all the instruments). I'd buy that ticket.

[@joesephkroll2056]

The fact he worked the band into shows reggies musical talent.

[@aristotleasparaguspodcast1129]

Reggie was so great on Comedy Bang Bang, even though I love Kid Cudi and Weird Al Yankovic, I will never forgive James Corden for stealing Reggie from Scott

[@Jelissei]

I was happy for Reggie, cuz he (hopefully) makes good paper with it. In the end it (hopefully) gives him more freedom.

What an absolute boss

[@edub9930]

Amazing! Every time.

[@vulgaris1251]

Every time I listen to this I say goddamn to that finish. Love it when Reggie goes all out he can really belt those vocals out when he wants to his range always astonishes me.

[@geetarbube]

Love Reggie!

[@DJJamOfThaDose]

Watts is a real Entertainer 🎶 With a unique Sound 🎶

[@jenieuwedocent]

Reggie Watts is the comedy version of one of those images that are designed to trick your brain in recognizing stuff but are actually totally nonsense.

[@jeffclarkofclarklesparkle3103]

This man is my f***ing HERO!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@smokejc]

I adore this man.

[@bradantcliff2940]

It should be illegal to be this talented. How is he not the most popular entertainer on Earth?

[@giantfisher]

LOVE REGGIE!!!!!

[@PooNagoo]

I’ve always just wanted to him to actually fully try to be a legit funk frontman, and this just solidified it. He really has such a killer voice and control

[@chandru9133]

That moment that you realize that 0.75x speed on KZbin is really useful! 🕺🕺

[@jennyhsueh77]

whoa

[@naughtybynature999]

Such a treasure, always felt like being on James corden's shoe kinda stifled him, hope we get to see more of him in the future.

[@monsterofrock01]

INCREDIBLE. Just wow

[@marooned_space_princess]

The people who down voted just don't understand, Reggie is a language, I speak it.

[@titorock21]

JD, Victor Wooten, and Reggie Watts🔥

[@isaaccervantes5955]

They was awesome

[@jgp6574]

i think out of all he's done, this is still the best

[@ElquiSuena]

Un genio!

[@SuperMmelaura]

Reggie, that was so funny!

[@shoWbitz]

I miss Reggie Watts and his Conan performances! 😭

[@ryanhurley14]

Amazing

[@Treness91]

Got like oatmeal... Y'know what I'm saying. And it's delicious. Know what Imma sayin. Some people don't like it. Some people don't like oatmeal. That's too bad. Real good, put some butter in there brown syrup...sugar you know all of that, stir it up so it's not too hot so you burn your tongue and not enjoy the rest of your breakfast regret it later have a sore tongue for the rest of the week hope that it heals take some zinc.

[@danielfield8628]

Now, that is a performer!

[@GabrielKerr]

This is my joy

[@rob_4227]

Yeah Reggie is on Corden, but we all know his favorite talk show.

[@vincentduhamel7037]

Give this man all the awards

[@oAPXo]

I HOPE team coco uploads more Reggie Watts stuff, he was literally a comedic god whenever he performed on there. KWANZAAAA JUICE!

[@michaeljacksin9367]

the kick 😂

[@eneobande7433]

Reggie is basically an alien 👽

[@aristotleasparaguspodcast1129]

He's kind of like an alien playing Daveed Diggs in a movie (no offense to Reggie, Daveed or aliens who are all awesome)

Man i miss him! Wish he had been back before the show ended.

[@raidonbay]

I would love to see a data spreadsheet for the times in the last 12 years that I have watched this. Next one, how many days that I woke up with the song in my head...

[@yaboykev536]

As a black person, can confirm. This is black people music.

[@raradis]

Reggie need to be on the podcast.. like yesteday! This is also 100% comedy.. Please.. King Conan.. investigate!
