I don't care what anyone says his gollum is perfection.

[@stivaro]

FACTS!!!

[@scottishhallfamily6654]

It was like he was in the room!

[@JeyDB]

lol it was okay.

[@gabrielandrade5618]

What is "golem" guys?

[@AnakinIHateSandSkywalker]

Gollum

[@jacksongrant2911]

I love him. He nailed it in Shang Chi and Kim’s Convenience

[@RocktheCpop]

Oh my god, I didn't recognize him from Kim's convenience, I knew it was a Canadian show. I hadn't put it together lol. Good job, he's that show for me, I know a lot of dudes like him in the US and stuff, he was hilarious cause it was only like the second time.

[@scottishhallfamily6654]

I love Kim's convenience!

[@NishanCW]

Nailed Golem too.

[@nogglebeak]

@@NishanCW also nailed my mom, and I'm not even mad.

[@cj6487]

Jimmy talking to Simu is up there with the most natural I’ve seen him

[@fnazhuntz4255]

Forreals! You can tell he doesn’t fake laugh or anything like that.

[@RocktheCpop]

Seems like they've hung out before cause of like friend circles and events ya

[@UzumakiX5series]

He's just a really talented guy. Glad he will be on SNL.

[@tl5404]

Omg that Gollum one was on point!! He didn't just sound like it, his full posture and looks were even in character! So awesome!

[@valeriasarinana6783]

Simu is so handsome, humble and funny Love him 💗

[@Exen88]

True inspiration!

[@rkustanto]

He nailed shang chi. Now, in my mind whenever people tell shang chi his face come up my mind same as black panther played by chadwick 🙏🏼😇

[@joec361]

Nailed this comment

[@DominickRuocco]

Shang-Chi is one of my favorite MCU debuts. I can't wait to see him again in a future MCU project.

[@yurie_choi]

I teared up when the muppet photo was presented, as a Native Korean raised in Europe and had to always fight to show where my country is on the map, this is so healing

[@joec361]

🇰🇷💪💪

[@nghiatrinh2639]

Beautiful Se🇰🇷ul 🌏 ❤ 🍀

[@iamworthy1302]

"pimps don't cryyyyy"

[@tu-uyennguyen5754]

1:08 ❤ 🎊

[@princessemmanuelleracho3249]

Casually shouting out Holland and Ruffalo, love it 😹

[@dncordium9924]

“You will see none of these impressions” 🤣 lmao poor Simu

[@kimr6372]

I LOVED his Gollum impression! Both were good. Now I'm a little bummed to not see an SNL skit with it.

[@geoffreyfeinberg9792]

He's a good actor. Shang Chi was a good movie. He'll be the future of the MCU. Hope he appears with some of the other characters.

[@audreybossman8369]

lmfao @00:38 "they really just fucked it up for us"

[@mylonoceda]

2:44 Andy Serkis would be proud of this

[@camillelepeintre9413]

He did a lot of things in a short time, good gamer, talented dancer and now he imits Gollum at the perfection ! Goog guy Simu

[@jessemillan1385]

Simu liu absolutely nailed the impression of Darth sidious and Gollum.

[@iluvu.6161]

he’s so attractive.

[@uxnosidda]

"you'll see none of these impressions" LOL

[@ninad75124]

Simu’s impressions are really good!!!!!

[@animeshdas6866]

His Gollum is friggin' spot-on!!!

[@coconutsea93]

I love him. So into him these couple monthss!!!

[@picturebreakdown]

Wow, that golem was so good! He could have replaced the actor and I wouldn’t have noticed

[@joelkennethjohnson1168]

Replacing andy serkis?!! Mahn..seriously?!

[@picturebreakdown]

@@joelkennethjohnson1168 Andy serkis is good, I’ll admit, but for that line, I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference

[@e.greeling9068]

Just when I didn't think I could love Simu anymore 😀

[@WhiteDandelions]

He's so everywhere! Get this man more movies, because he deserves it! And we deserves it! 😍

[@alinemhorikawa]

“check him on saturday night live, you’ll see none of these impressions” lol

[@millennialaviation]

The shade being thrown at Tom Holland and Mark Ruffalo 😂😂

[@slickymoxy]

I love when these two are together. Nothing but good and loving energy. ❤

[@Exen88]

Same here. Got the bro vibe going there. 😅

[@kstepko]

Those impressions were both great.

[@EffingtonCouldBe]

Maybe Simu Liu can team up with LiMu Emu - and of course... doug.

[@mr2ti41]

Lol this is genius..

[@millennialaviation]

He’s mad talented and attractive 😍

[@jonnnyren6245]

2:23 ooooookay okay okay that's good. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD

[@npeliroja89]

Love Simu! Such a good actor & doing so much cool stuff right now.

[@lovaticsweetener471]

I NEED A NEW AVENGERS MOVIE WITH HIM AS THE MAIN CHARACTER.

[@sami2612]

He is so awesome at everything ❤️❤️

[@zongtxuethao8142]

Lmbooo gollum got me dead 🤣🤣🤣 Love you Simu!!

[@sarawat635]

My precious!

[@UR_DADS_BOYFRIEND]

I love simu ever since I first saw Kim’s! Now I’ve watched all his work!! Love watching him on Bart and joes show on you tube too “just kidding news” jkfilms love you simu!!!

[@luqrexia]

and the Wong Fu too

[@kingmanic]

David So formerly of JK is seriously jealous and hating on Simu. I think So auditioned too and didn't get far for Shang chi and now he's bitter. Everyone else who ever worked with Simu only had good things to say but So is doing a one sided beef.

[@kingmanic]

@@thisiskevinsanchez It's the internet. Pedantic injections of related information is 50% of the internet.

[@luqrexia]

@@kingmanic david so always be hatin on people just let him be

[@ouranhshc100]

@@kingmanic I seriously doubt he even auditioned. That guy is clumsy af to be shang chi

[@autumnshanks]

the way he says break a leg like he means that shitt

[@theunbrokenpiece]

His Golloum impression reminds me of Jar Jar Binks hahaha

[@MartyD]

can’t wait to see him on snl!

[@btsxxxmarvel2674]

He's smile is contagious

[@jomontanee]

This is very fun interviews. Bring out laughters, positivity and brotherhood from both Simu and Jimmy. Love love love it. ❤️🌸💕

[@seanbinder8316]

Kim's Convenience is one of my favorite shows with him

[@wythore]

As someone that wasnt particularly excited to watch a super hero movie about some asian stuff, I was pleasently surprised to see how good the movie is. Him and Awkwafina make such a good duo

[@dAfoodie101]

yeah, i’m never really excited to watch those superhero movies about the white people stuff, but i’ve heard they’re good

[@jethrojtsantiago]

Simu is literally my hero. 🙌🏽

[@ginkodragon]

Love this guy! Loved his movie, especially with Michelle Yeoh!

[@blueflamedabi2403]

bro it was so crazy from being a Kims Convenience lover and then seeing him tweet and it all come out that he was going to play Shang Chi, absolutely amazing and it was such an amazing movie too hands down one of the best marvel movies ever love this man!

[@zooolieee]

i love this man i cannot explain

[@gagamonster1049]

Wowwwww his impressions are so good

[@Jian158]

Shang Chi should do Smaug impression with Dr. Strange.

[@AmanGillNow]

Yay! 🥳 Toronto !!!!

[@sneekypanda]

He has so many talents!

[@jakedunnegan]

Great guy! Really charismatic and fun to watch on Kim's Convenience!!! (which btw, has a great all-around cast, I hope it continues forever). I look forward to seeing the Legend movie!

[@ladychips]

enjoyed his SNL performance I need more!

[@SillyDwarf__]

Bro that film is soo good, the action and fighting' stunts really cool :)

[@flipflopsneeded]

Impressed!

[@melmusica]

i love simu and his impressions hahah

[@asteverino8569]

The first time I saw Sesame Street, was 1970. I was wowed! It was on Thanksgiving. Love the additions, over the years to include all of us.

[@jjthek]

Omg I can't wait to see the muppet jiyoung! Makes me so proud. I'm gonna cry-so happy for representation for aapi. Lol I love his impressions anyway.

[@100Hasake]

I love that he's such a nerd at heart

[@dzarif7]

Wait what? That gollum impression was on point!!

[@prairirose11]

holy shit his gollum was amazing!

[@saifmahmudishtiakshushaan462]

Oh relax Simu, Shang Chi sequel announcement is just a matter of time! With that amount of charm, he'll be great on SNL.

[@kingmanic]

It over performed COVID expectations and had good critical and cinema scores while having a 'modest' MCU budget. Also has some very merchandisable costumes and characters. They'll make another for sure.

[@kyle7710]

He’s perfect guy, talking while looking at the floor..

[@sumandas9039]

♥️♥️♥️wow ♥️ 👌

[@allybootv]

I love shang chi and the legend of the teñ rings

[@mayuthedemon33]

That movie is awesome

[@ArgChica]

You know you made it when you go on Sesame street😁🧡💙

[@Gammistrix]

Best Show 👍🤗

[@mari.tiengo]

His emperor Palpatine was ON POINT! Just love this guy ❤

[@NellieKAdaba]

[@RitikaSingh-bn9sw]

Omg my fav king 🤴😍🤧😭

[@vokasimid5330]

"Your impressions are world class"

[@Diegoslash]

he's great

[@mialynn287]

Who else is excited for SNL??

[@KateSarte]

im actually cryin

[@Ab1g4il]

His Gollum impression is on point

[@KS-zf5bg]

my jaw literally dropped at the gollum voice wowww

[@ecekiciii]

He should just do these impressions during his monologue anyway.He's great!

[@KateSarte]

OH MYYYYYY GODDDDDD

[@nishadarnal6283]

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if Simu Liu flew

[@waynejeez5620]

My mancrush began when he played Jung on "Kim's Convenience".

[@youngjuls]

Emperor Palpatine was my favorite 👏👏👏😅😃 @SNL lost out on a great skit!

[@CasualGamerGameplay]

Damn did they have Andi Serkis dub the Gollum voice.....man that was good

[@bryanluntz1603]

Cool impressions Simu A Pleasure to meet you Great muppet gal

[@weeaunsim4320]

Palpatine, Gollum are u kidding me👏 he's good

[@natalie_142]

He voiced someone in Star Wars : Vision

[@darthpryce]

His Palpatine isn't good but the Gollum one is perfect.

[@djdannyd816]

Simu Liu 🔥

[@davislane3204]

That Gollum impression was spot on!

[@treblenote2]

Simu is very Kool !!! very refreshing and needed in all of the nonsense in the world today. 2021

[@qnleann]

Jimmy needs to be in the masked singer, he is awesome

[@JohnstasBACK]

One of the best Marvel movies, tbh. i would LOVE a sequel with more of that badass fighting choreography

[@crushinithard]

Wow, that Gollum impression was 🔥🔥🔥

[@joshdelson]

LOL Darth Simu for days

[@zendygarrido6177]

What the fuck snl? That Palpetine was incredible!

[@He.Who.Shall.Remain.Genderless]

The emperor wasn’t too great and it was awkward that no one clapped when he definitely expected them too, and said “you know”… and wrapped it up. Hard. But the Gollum was a little better.

[@hayderneamah1323]

That's star's impression is the literary what I hear watching start wars 😂 couldn't ever connect with the stories, still enjoy them but when they talk all I hear "something, something, something, something dark side, the force, jedi."

[@koushikraja331]

would love to see him do a live commentary on shang chi and when the part where shang gets all the ten rings would love to hear him go "POWAAH!!!!!!! UNNNNLIMMMMIIIITTTEDDDD POWWWAAAH" in palphatine's voice. but holy fuck, that gollum voice.
