Ian Karmel Stand-up

Each week night, THE LATE LATE SHOW with JAMES CORDEN throws the ultimate late night after party with a mix of celebrity guests, edgy musical acts, games and sketches. Corden differentiates his show by offering viewers a peek behind-the-scenes into the green room, bringing all of his guests out at once and lending his musical and acting talents to various sketches. Additionally, bandleader Reggie Watts and the house band provide original, improvised music throughout the show. Since Corden took the reigns as host in March 2015, he has quickly become known for generating buzzworthy viral videos, such as Carpool Karaoke."

James' face looking at Ian like a proud brother is adorable ❤

[@JonathanBishopjr]

The Mars shoutout at the end. Ian is pure class.

[@tipsyt1909]

Hodgey Beats, Frankie Ocean and Sid the Dude got snubbed!!

[@DrSwamp-kr4yp]

Shaclackity!!!

[@ericzahn755]

Made me smile so much

[@pickled_pigface5189]

*boop boop*

[@taylormademadness]

There’s nothing cooler than seeing someone do something they are good at and passionate about

[@msnisperos]

Dood. That YEMEN JOKE THO. PURE FUEGO. (sorry about the pun)

[@Beaver-pf8un]

I'm not writing to name drop at all. I'm a former (not really active anymore) actor in Portland where Ian is from and he and I worked in a small, independent film that was shot here over a decade ago. I haven't talked to him or seen him in years. I was fortunate to attend the last show he did in Portland while he still lived here before he moved to LA. I can tell you he is one of the nicest, most genuine people I have ever met in the film scene here. He really does think of others. I couldn't be happier for him.

[@minniedillys-Me]

I never met him personally. But his mom was my nurse while I’m preterm labor in Portland about 12 years ago and she was so proud of Ian. She would come and show me clips of his stand ups! She was the sweetest lady I ever met! ❤

[@djswany85]

Love that Mars got the shoutout. I was like "I know her. She's real!!"

[@terriwhelan5653]

That was my reaction too!!

[@skkeech]

I'm from Portland and used to see Ian all the time. He's lost like 150 pounds. I'm so happy he seems to be so happy!! Congratulations, Ian!!

[@gnee2253]

Reggie’s laughter is simply infectious and you can see Ian’s stride just grow on this set when he hears that reassurance - great supportive colleagues!

[@rosy111]

[@martinrotvig]

He seems like an easy guy to make laugh, but he really isn’t.

[@terri200]

Congratulations, Ian!! Enjoy every moment of your wedding day!!🎉🎉

[@claytonis1]

The SUPER Producer herself got the last mention! Mars must be well pleased! Also, good set Ian.

[@tammycharles742]

I can't believe this show will be done next year. James running up & hugging Ian made me cry. They're all like family. 😰

[@ader6673]

Same, that hug at the end, and J looked so happy & proud too! 😭

[@brandonyoung-kemkes1128]

I’m glad he’s finally being a all-out comedian on the show.

[@bcb7443]

Ian! Such an asset to the Show. Good Luck with life and your comedy!

[@pickupnote]

The bit on cool weddings was spot on! Made me laugh out loud 😂

[@wendywilliams1121]

Awww, Ian .. All the best to you and Dana on your special day💕🇨🇦💕🇨🇦💕 With love from Canada…

[@madisonjohnson2466]

“Girlfriend Prime” 😂 awesome set, so relatable!

[@craigfulton2586]

Loved the Mars shout out!

[@gabyreiss3100]

Yay👏Ian Karmel..Mazel Tov for your upcoming wedding 🍾🥂

[@amandaf.2859]

I want someone to look at me the way James looks at Ian

[@_Matchu]

Unironically the funniest stand up y'all've had...

[@Dan-Simms]

Great set Ian, have a great wedding

[@shamrockjamaica]

Shoutout to Super Producer Marissa at the end!

[@karenkirkpatrick7337]

Can’t find Ian’s show listed at Revolution Hall. Really want to get tickets. He was outstanding!

[@shankroidbeast4644]

He's fantastic, great set! And Ian is an inspiration to so many people for what he has done with his health. I don't think I've seen a body transformation quite that dramatic before. He looks GREAT. Just another example that people can do anything if they put their minds to it and work hard.

[@stephencraig5938]

@12 Feet Up don't be a buzzkill. everyone is different. I lost 5kg a week to lose 45 kg because l was dying. Don't admonish people because of their achievements. Your takeaway is miserable. Be positive about people.

[@JadedKate]

@12 Feet Up so we shouldn't conpliment people anymore... because everyone is gonna COMPLETELY flip it upside down and then get mad for saying he said the EXACT OPPOSITE of what type of sh*t you are trying to pull here ?? kudos for being such a viper. truly. 😒🐍

[@amberts180]

So this is it. Finally made it to the big day. We’re all super happy for you Ian.

[@Anathallo8]

I'm getting married on the same day as Ian 😅 Good luck sir! Hope your Saturday goes amazingly!

[@HatawBeatz]

Congratulations on your bliss!! All the best🤍✨

[@christiannielsen3863]

Congratulations Ian

[@oppositeofh8]

ha! awesome set, dude. totally killed. loved it! "poohbear it" -- lol

[@DMRice]

Ian is keeping it 2 real w/ the reference to Barry O. Great job, karms >:)

[@zosiam8541]

Congrats Ian and Dana, I’ve been such a big fan of both of you for a long time, so happy to see you both happy 🫶🏽 have a beautiful wedding!!

[@pueramericus]

Fantastic gift Mars!

[@justimre]

If that laser tag rehearsal dinner reference was intentional, hats off to you! Congratulations!

[@rosy111]

I. Am. Speechless. Pure Gold!!!🤓🤌 Bravo!!

[@davincisghost9228]

Oh maaaate! That Rocked! 🤣🤣🤣😍

[@hdsd1604]

Absolute brilliance!!! Total genius!!! You are awesome!!! Mazel tov!!! ❤🤣

[@marthaperkins1845]

That was brilliant. Really.

[@zizinnnn]

this reinforced my hate for weddings 😂😂

[@EMarvinJohnson]

I've met Ian. I saw him open for Dave Chappelle. He's a good guy.

[@ericminch]

...and here he is opening for Dave LaChapelle!

[@nelsonidoko2456]

The way James is just staring. Like he is the fiancé

[@mattpalfreyman3778]

Bruh that set killed.

[@shugerardneba8271]

We love you Ian

[@MichaelTaylor-um6jr]

Loving the shoutout to Super Producer Mel at the end!!!

[@nquiztor]

Good luck on your super cool wedding, Ian!!! My gift to you is that I've watched this twice!

[@TheOutside84]

Ian killed it

[@chrism82793]

My man looks good I've seen him since Chelsea lately

[@DrSwamp-kr4yp]

James loves Ian, Ian love James and I love it! 🖤👑👑🦾

[@Prettygirlcn5]

James' pride 😊

[@slypear]

Brilliant! Happy Wedding, Ian!

[@e1iteLime]

Hhheeeyyy the AllFantasy easter egg at the end was great.

[@jacobanatoly876]

Ian my buddy the comedian 😂❤❤❤

[@matbroomfield]

I like that it was really funny without being spiteful.

[@militaryguy27]

Ok, I wasnt expecting much from his set, but he is wonderful. Excellent set good sir.

[@ader6673]

Loved the set! Hope to see Ian live someday. And that hug at the end? 😭❤️

[@stephencraig5938]

Great tone. I could listen to him for hours.

[@judyhowe2082]

I just love to listen to him speak, and that was a funny routine 😄 Best wishes to the Mr & Mrs💞

[@anraymcneil6447]

I wanna see Ian Karmel host a late night show! He’s got the witt, he’s got the drive and can’t lose the crowd.

[@elvinn9434]

Congrats Ian. Wish you all the best on your wedding 🥳🥳

[@briangiese2628]

Great stuff!

[@JonnyDIY]

Funnny guy! Good luck on the marriage! 😂💕👍

[@theomegared02]

Ian is hilarious... Love this guy.

[@cathymorse8479]

Awesome Ian 🤟

[@MJ18888]

The show is ending and now Ian needs to get back to his old gig 😆

[@debrahelmlinger6256]

Was a chain in the 70's

[@kathybell6268]

Ian I hope that was an audition for a new pilot! Great job!

[@Asweezy411]

God, I love him

[@naomicampagne3775]

Good onya Ian!!

[@danieldubrasky7089]

Great set and even a shout out to the super producer.

[@myrigatoni]

That was hilarious 😂

[@dotunderscore]

It’s going to be one hell of a groom’s speech :) As someone who’s done it twice, and shot them more, enjoy yourself! ❤️

[@cutesywootsey]

Love it!!! 😂😂😂😂💜

[@markgigiel2722]

Good luck Ian.

[@manu-tonyo9654]

Haha, Ian doing a proper job :P

[@minenhlembele9138]

Ian😂🤣😂🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@theginjaninjakid9433]

I laughed so hard over this wedding convo. Then I realized I had my rehearsal dinner at the Old Spaghetti Factory he worked at. It would have been cooler if it had been at Wunderland.

[@HolidayGolightly1]

He’s a pro that was awesome! Still got it, it didn’t go anywhere

[@someguyanonymous5171]

I really want to know if Ian got a stomach band as he lost massive amounts of weight in such a short time.. I only know people with personal trainers and such that manage this

[@abbysomnia624]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS GET IT, IAN!

[@debrahelmlinger6256]

If I was in the audience, my laugh would be the one you hear, ex's friends used to say things just to make me laugh and sometimes it's not what you say but how you say it, best laugh was how save money on your wedding, don't have one🤣

[@cadeevans4623]

This guy's is hilarious

[@bigzilla2534]

Great Set😂

[@RikudAtlanta]

Mazal tov Ian! Great job!!

[@thomaswesleywilson3354]

YOUVE DONE IT AGAIN Karmel!!!

[@notsure1969]

I could watch an hour and a half set of stuff like that. Great job, Ian! Mazel tov on the Girlfriend+.

[@Lenore4Evermore]

XD🤣

[@michelstraydogsart8416]

Legend

[@thebusybee7080]

Just hilarious! He is so funny and so polished. I wonder if the staff are going to his wedding. It will be a hilarious event. Too bad they cant film it.

[@BrusselsCongo]

[@pamr4040]

❤

[@thomaswesleywilson3354]

Never gonna look like a bouncer at americas nicest Olive Garden again

[@dluv_98]

wow he’s a lot funnier than the show gives him credit, i’d pay to see him if he ever comes to chicago

[@vcarter0723]

Doesn’t he feel shameful using his time to do thank yous? Oh, that reminds me… Mrs. Goldstein, thank you for the flower pots. Every time I am in the dining room, I will be reminded of your generosity.

[@ikemold1874]

He's the best he should take over James next year
