Ooooh wait! You just made me realize something, this episode did not have the by now usual mid video add! That's just to funny to be a coincident :D

Conan: "Enforcer?" McCall: Sets clock for 6 seconds - "1.93m vertical, one table, 4 glasses, 5 chairs, 2 mic sets, tv screen"

[@eMRH1202]

Denzel has always been talked about. Hes been one of the greatest actors for a long long time. This is insane.

[@ecksearoh6283]

You sat there and watched the man talk but you didn't understand a single thing he said.

[@lauristonbrewster9097]

​@@ecksearoh6283 exactly. Like, that person's comment is EXACTLY why Bell created his podcast. They just list his movies and accolades and think that's sufficient.

[@jbainbridge22]

@@lauristonbrewster9097 tons of people respect Denzel as one of the best gtfo here.

[@hemipenes]

@@lauristonbrewster9097how is that not sufficient? You’ll find anyway to victimize yourselves istg

4:40 I love this interaction

[@brenobacci]

I'm not obsessed with chocolate, but that would be my reaction, too. "I don't like chocolate" is just not a reasonable sentence.

[@blueconversechucks]

omg denzel hosting family feud would rule so hard.

[@unitoolzee]

This is crazy. Not only is DW widely acknowledged as a great actor, he is also an awesome dude. Check out his interview with Desus&Mero!

[@Kitty8791]

Yaaaas! I just told someone, who mentioned his old Letterman appearance in a comment thread above, to watch it! It's from 2-years ago so fairly recent.

[@user-og1rv6sr8e]

What? Everyone knows Denzel is one of the greatest.

[@yomamma359]

Sona has definitely said 'that word' in her car by herself listening to music 😄

[@lachauntiswashington231]

This is great 😂😂😂👏👏👏👏

[@robertbishop5440]

Ya everyone knows he's one of the greatest of all time

[@mendedhornet8665]

Conan!

😅

[@JMPT]

Nice 🧡🧡

[@FlowStateNewOrleans]

Weird. I can't think of a time in the podcast era where Denzel wasn't seen as one of the greatest living actors.

[@penguinjammer8522]

Denzel is the man! And Sona is the woman!!!

[@adam-cr5ht]

Denzel is definitely considered one of the greatest actors of all time, in the UK at least.

[@ulybynature__17]

DDL 🐐

[@timwindling436]

I'm confused, doesn't everyone know that he's one of the greatest of all time? Training Day, Malcom X, Philadelphia, Remember the Titans, American Gangster, Equalizer, Macbeth, Fences, Etc...

[@antsco]

They do this guys just obnoxious

[@vincevvn]

Nah clearly it’s racism /s

[@TheNeomaul]

@@elishmuel1976 WHAT???!!!! never heard that from anyone

[@kevinc5771]

Lmao yeah of course, im so confused by this dude. I can remember Denzel going on the Letterman Show and it being a huge deal. Because of how good an actor he is and how accomplished he is. So strange

[@Kitty8791]

​@@kevinc5771 He did Desus & Mero's show 2-years ago. You can find it on KZbin.

[@christiantaylor4276]

DW is the GOAT

[@accutronitisthe2nd95]

[@brenobacci]

WTF? Bell trying to cancel the podcast? 😂

[@kriseasterwood2664]

I think he mispronounced Samuel Jackson

[@thatepicwizardguy]

Yes Denzel is EASILY one of the greatest of all time but Matt saying hes more consistent than Leo??? Delusional. I dont even remember the last time Leo wasnt good in something. Even in bad movies the guy is crazy good.

[@snowman300]

I think he’s great but it was wild how wooden he was in a lot of Titanic

[@maeannengo4908]

The way he was directed to act in Killers of the Flower Moon is 😬

[@jbainbridge22]

Is bro really trying to act like people like DeCaprio get that much more respect than Denzel, miss me with that. People love Denzel. 😂💀

[@splorn]

He’s seems like an interesting and intelligent guy, but he also seems a little too ready to pounce on anything he deems not to his liking and way of thinking (Kamau that is)

[@louspowels7120]

clickbait editor uploading these clips, how about putting the GUESTs name in the thumbnail instead ffs

[@dlxmarks]

Because that's the consistent style they use when posting multiple clips from a single podcast. There are already 3 other clips from the Bell episode with the topics of ALABAMA, BEEF, and KZbin in the thumbnails.

[@kevinc5771]

The title of this video contains the guys name.

[@conserve_climber]

Haiti is already great

[@SwiftJustice]

Don't be shy. Own your maga tears

[@betsyduane3461]

Denzel Washington is nowhere near the greatest actor, in fact he's pretty bad sometimes. He's way over the top. His best work was Flight and Malcom X.

[@pgc99]

Harddddd disagree. Respectfully, lol, but still

[@supermathias1]

Racisme of hollywood… like bro come on.

[@baronvonsatan]

Come on what? Not only is it an established historical fact, contemporary black actors still have stories about it. Don't do denial; it makes you look stupid.

[@perpetuated]

What? All Denzel does is play the same Denzel in every movie. No hate at all.

[@vincevvn]

Really? Using the race card because Denzel isn’t up there with the greatest actors of all time? He’s amazing but he hasn’t done nearly as impressive roles as the greatest of all time. He plays Denzel in almost everything he’s in. Sam Jackson is black but he is always mentioned as one of the greats. People wanna call racism on everything.

[@SwiftJustice]

And racists get bigly mad about it

[@dlxmarks]

Apparently 2 Academy Awards, 7 more nominations, dozens of acting credits, and a 40+ year long career aren't enough acclaim. Bell demands a Denzel national holiday.

[@ewm335]

“Always mentioned as one of the greats”? Yet has only an honorary/lifetime achievement Oscar. There’s all sorts of reasons why some actors might get more accolades or money than others. Just because you don’t believe racism is one of those reasons is irrelevant. I’ll take the word of someone who’s been in the business as long as W. Kamau Bell.

[@yomamma359]

Dumb comment from someone who doesn't have to deal with racism. Also calm down it's a comedy podcast 🙄

[@LukeWeiner1]

he didnt mention race

[@christophwaltz8919]

no biden videos?
