Such a beautiful episode. Leave it to Russell to spread more hope than the politicians.

[@dineshramchand8397]

And the penguin too.

[@Yeetatolah]

+Myriam E.H. Seems to me that the politicians' jobs are to spread anger and despair more than hope unfortunately...

[@harmonyjames6221]

yes

[@pheonix3862]

Lincoln Egbert yh run a successful country. This is a constitutional monarchy. Queen spreads hope politicians run the country.

[@pheonix3862]

Well done a comedians has to do that a politision has to do politics not hope

[@MilieNopeNotHere]

The Paris situation was handled so well! And I cried at the end. So beautiful.

[@Biffo316]

Awh that young lad at the end brought tears to my eyes. The innocence and purity of a child is something not even isis can destroy.

[@dineshramchand8397]

Until they take away everything the kid loved and held dear. Damn I'm optimstic...... fuck.

[@skatatataatje]

I thought it seemed staged. I am also a horrible person. xD

That was a brilliant show & the father & son that ended the show... Amazing. Merci

[@PokerJoker811]

Let it be known that this is the only time you will see Russell Howard publicly agreeing with Boris Johnson.

Is when the world has finally gone to the dogs, that or hell

[@JC-km5xw]

let it be known he was bigging him up for years then did a huge u-turn

[@LockheartCrow]

It was a very different time back then, wasn’t it?

[@JC-km5xw]

@@LockheartCrow no Tories have been in power since 2010, he never said a bad word about Boris until he was PM

[@gibby9932]

I love the comfort the father gives his son at the end. Beautiful. My kids know that their dad will always protect them. That's my job.

[@LucianoThePig]

Russel , you are truly an amazing person for being able to apply comedy and am interesting point of view to stuff like what happened in Paris

[@Reichieru1]

+LucianoThePig Agreed. He was respectful and compassionate toward those who deserved it and critical of those who needed to be criticized. One of the people who is likely someone he looks up to in comedy is John Cleese, and he talked about the importance of humour. Approaching serious situations with humour is in no way a sign that you are not being respectful or taking the situation seriously. He believes that it is critical in serious situations for creative problem solving.

[@jimbobeire]

+LucianoThePig Reminded me of how Jon Stewart spoke about stuff like that. There was a bit where Stewart quoted Fred Rogers "Look for the helpers". Worth watching if you can find it.

[@bobfredjack14]

+LucianoThePig TWO L'S!!!!

[@newbooksmell4163]

That little kid made me cry- such a beautiful moment.

[@yasmingirl17]

Thank you so much Russell. My family are muslims and it's frustrating to see people thinking what ISIS is doing and believes in is actually Islam.

[@horizon146]

I'm an Arabic Christian and people call me a terrorist when they hear me saying Arabic lol

[@klop4228]

@@horizon146 "But you look like a Muslim" Sure, yeah, but if a person says that to you, then they're acting like an idiot.

[@YorkshireInsight26]

It is.. Stop trying to manipulate people. These terrorists are reading from the same bible as the rest of your lot. The stabbing in Germany this week proves what we've been saying about ☪️ all these years is TRUE. "peaceful" my arse.

[@Rugelacharugula]

Americans are doing the same thing to Christianity…

[@Rugelacharugula]

This is why I love Russell, Samantha Bee, Colbert, Trevor Noah, Jon Stewart, and John Oliver. This is the only way I can watch the news anymore...

[@kstormgeistgem461]

That father and son bit at the end... Just lovely. Simply beautiful.

[@J_R1996]

I knew Russ was going to do a great job talking about the Paris attacks, but I never expected it to be this great.

[@mindlessgonzo]

I got a letter for the aliens. "Don't bother. We're dumb enough to kill each other over nothing at all."

[@ThePrestd]

+mindlessgonzo Sadly right

[@_JoyceArt]

I thought exactly that in the past week: why do we even 'fear' ETs with potential anal probes? We make a right mess of it all already.

[@zipp4everyone263]

+mindlessgonzo Its not like they would pose a threat. We do everything we could fear them doing to us, to ourselves every day!

[@tannerwilson4843]

Send the aliens that letter from the end of the Paris segment.

[@MorgaineRiddlePrince]

See an episode of sex brought me to the e.r. We are not as afraid of anal probes as we appear.🤣

[@babypunk35]

That last video is inspirational. The kid now knows that flowers are more powerful than weapons, and i find that great.

[@Hellokitty207disney]

[@bhanderwoman]

Damn it I'm crying... this father and son bond is the most beautiful thing I've seen. This made my day so much better.

[@ZachtheUnicorn]

Thank you for uploading these episodes. We in America have no show like this and I hope no one tries to copy it. The show is funny and touching. One moment you are laughing like a mad ma, the next your eyes are tearing up. It took me a while to see all the past episodes, but I am so glad I found this. Thank you Russell and keep up the amazing work.

[@AdamDampOwlPowell]

Russell handled the topic of the Paris attacks beautifully. Reminded us that it's alright to laugh in the face of tragedy, and did it without resorting to shock humor that mocked the victims. Instead he made fun of the people who did it, since they're the ones who deserved to be mocked. Definitely respect him a lot more for handling it this way.

[@chrishicks7946]

Only a legend can make u cry tears of laughter 1 second and then have you choked up with tears down your face the very next. Not just once but time and again Legend

[@KittyxGrimm]

That last clip gave me so much hope. Bless that father's optimism.

[@emilykeepsmiling9465]

That smile the wee boy gives his dad right at the end, that is just everything ❤️❤️❤️

[@gillb6366]

My favourite Good News yet. The France attacks were very tactfully and beautifully handled. I wish there were more comedians like Russell Howard. This is the only show my whole family would sit and watch together before both my sister and I moved overseas.

[@BellaMusical]

This show is just getting better and better. Loved how he handled the Paris attacks.

[@terry3906]

Thank you for making these episodes available to people all over the world.

[@rebekahhayden4365]

Russell's show is the best comedy show, he is so funny and talented and actually has sense and using it for good, using the news as a comedy show is so clever I love him 💞

[@kellycarroll2281]

Russell Howard you are truly an amazing person! I cant stop watching you! Inspiring all the time.... Also balls to the wall hilarious!

[@RIXRADvidz]

yes, our world is rolling around in a bucket of shit right now, but there are some bright spots to be found, Thanks to Russell Howard's Good News.but it will be a long time before we realize we can be so much better by helping each other instead of hurting one another. don't feed the internet trolls, don't respond to their anger and hate.comments are better when they are compliments instead of complaintsYou're Better Than That, And YOU KNOW IT. Peace Be with You All.

[@eeveemaster8902]

Yeaaa 4 years ago How non sick you where Yet still shit

[@aprilandmikea478]

Russell Howard is my favorite comedian. It was Eddie Murphy since his performance on Delirious and then came Russell Howard.. he makes me laugh every time. Russell Howard is intelligent, kind, hilarious & adorable. I love your comedy and your serious side. Thank you! I was introduced to Good News a while back and have been addicted to his comedy ever since. Please never stop bringing joy to the world. Plenty of wonderful nutters to go around haha

[@JF-wn2yb]

"The flowers and candles are here to protect us..?" "Oui" ❤

Best Russell Howard show. That little boy at the end. Breaks your heart. Nothing has changed and it's 4.5 years later. Well, some say it's gotten worse. Trump is president and we're in the middle of a pandemic. I think I'll watch that little boy every night before I go to bed so I know I'm being protected. Thank you, Russell.

[@nataleightaylor6063]

I love Russell Howard. The fact that I laugh from the minute the show starts but I'm always in tears at the end coz of his heart felt end segment. Russell u mind fuck!

the amusing part was that Russell said 'do you wanna grow up'

Well done tackling the French tragedy. Thank you, Good News!

[@Slimdikins]

i only recently started watching Russell Howard, and still my favorite parts is when he makes a joke with the word fanny. I laugh once and then again when I remember what it mean in the UK. It's a twofer :D

[@MrAlec78uk]

I had the same expiriance I was cycling down a hill doing 20mph and a stag jumped into the road at me, and started running down the road next to me, I looked over and he winked at me overtook and jumped across me into a side field, was a great moment in my life.

I really love that right at the end of the show the lights on the stage are red, white and blue in the shape of the french flag. A subtle tribute but a tribute nonetheless. Rest in peace those we have lost. May you forever live on in our hearts and minds.
