[@danablack1490]

@@THUGPUTIN Proved my point. Can't see the difference between making statements against jews (anti-Semitism) and criticizing the government and hate-culture through jokes and poems. Comedians often make jokes related to anti minority violence, religious hatred and other serious issues.

[@blakestebbe7937]

I very briefly was a cutco salesman many years ago. I remember the leather strips and the pennies i cut with the knives and the pair of scissors. the guy who was above me was in his late 20s and boasted about driving a lexus because he'd sold so many sets, so i didn't care for his attitude, but they really are a great set of knives. you can send them back to their factory in olean, new york and have them sharpened for free.

[@arnoldschwarzenigga2268]

Does USA still has door to door salesmen ? I never see them on films.

[@quiet7632]

Lol, I could have written this exact comment. I'm also a former 15 yaar-old Cutco salesperson. The knives are surprisingly decent. But the sales method is absolute garbage. The guy they paraded in front of us had an AC Audi TT or something like that.

Great show, per always. Oh, and criminy, that Moses Storm, wow. Guess you know talent when you see it. Unforgettable show.

[@weeniehutjunior]

probably "Spotlight: The musical" was an idea best left on the shelf 🤣🤣🤣

[@LycanLink]

This is gonna start off sounding disrespectful, but back in the 2000s, there was this Bollywood video on KZbin that was synced up to "Nyan Cat," and I was so impressed with the dancing, and also I developed a crush on the female lead... I need to watch the source movie someday.

[@globalcitizenn]

The guy in that Nyan cat video is the star of RRR.. the guy who plays Bhim. The actress is Sameera Reddy.. looks up her songs from the movie “Musafir”. The song you mentioned was from a Tollywood movie, not Bollywood. India has many movie industries from different states and languages. For another perfectly synced video check out Kendrick Lamar’s “Humble” with the father of the other guy who plays Ram in RRR

[@RuthwikRao]

@@globalcitizenn if we're recommending Kendrick sync videos, an obligatory mention to the Bajirao Mastani song dubbed over with Good Kid Maad City, that's hard as hell.

[@ManiacArtist83]

Damn, missed that one. Thank you.

[@darcybhaiwala7057]

I'm glad Conan recognized the absolute size of Hindi film stars. It's still a star system. The common analogies I hear are like, "Aishwarya Rai is India's Angelina Jolie, or "Shah Rukh Khan is India's Tom Cruise." While I understand the instinct, this diminishes these stars so much. Think about how you regard vintage icons like Humphrey Bogart, Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, etc. THIS is how Indians look at their stars TODAY. They are bigger than royalty.

[@jayreddy10]

There are other film industries from north,east,west, south who are booming recently in west.. There would be day where Rajamouli and mahesh babu(the new movie will be global) or other stars from other insutries will be in Conan or other late night shows❤ EOD bollywood is done😂😂😂

[@ajitharugire4783]

[@seenreddy]

Conan doesn't use profanity. Proves you can still be funny

[@kiriakoz]

The part where he said "after 9/11, no sales" as though it was obvious was sad. It's like we've just accepted how ignorant Americans are, I guess.

[@mrgyani]

Not really, when you see Russia, China, India - you realize Americans with all their flaws are the best. And the west is a paradise. Russians with their jingoistic nationalism against Ukranians. Chinese - atrocities on Uyghurs. Indians with the new hindu nationalism & bigotry. I am from India, and I say this with some sadness - I wish my country could be half as normal & open as yours.

I think it’s hilarious that lieutenants getting in trouble for having classified documents at his house. That just proves how the military at the end of the day, punch out and they do literally nothing beyond their eight hour workday. The government is terrified of them trying to do paperwork at home for fear of slip and fall settlements from Papercuts lol. I’m just saying this because my dad was like the highest grade murder lawyer, in the history of mankind international kidnapping, Anything he was the goat. our home garage was an entire wall of Case files just bankers boxes stacked two rows thick covering an entire wall of the garage just basically classified information from the Deadliest, hitman, gang leader, and international kidnapping cases. The courts are Grateful for him, keeping all that paperwork at home because 30 years After a Case closes he may be called upon again to provide additional information. They don’t mind my dad having classified information at home because he’s more important than the president. Lol

He’s right if he had said taxis and 7/11’s. Most teachers are white guys and we produce most of our food and the sterile part doesn’t really make sense. But basically he did the old standby you aren’t doing well say something against white people and america and a woke or leaning woke crowd will cheer. But nice way to come to a country that lets you be there then when you aren’t that good you attack it for not appreciating your crappiness. As long as you can blame racism why ever be accountable for yourself.

[@adamdevereaux2459]

So dumb… that was in 2002. Everyone knows about those Woke crowds back then.. You doing ok? So angry and off-focused.. hope you deal with all that friend.

[@mrgyani]

That part was super cringe & immature. You have to forgive him for being young & tone deaf. But if you listen to his interviews, he has never criticized America or Americans, rather only said good things. I am Indian 🇮🇳.
