Watch: Comedian Russell Peters performs impressions, talks Internet success

Comedian Russell Peters sits down with the "CBS This Morning" co-hosts to discuss how the internet is changing comedy, how bullying influenced his ethnic jokes, and the differences between his audiences. Peters has a new Netflix show called "Notorious," which premieres Monday. "CTM" also captured several of his impressions.

[@wasilaify]

There will never be another Russell Peters. He's the stuff of legends.

[@raniayoussef5599]

Russell has been famous worldwide for the past 15 years. I went to see him then in Dubai! America doesn't need to stay updated with the rest of the world.

[@Emsyaz]

Americans are so ignorant about whats going on around the world.

[@harshkay1774]

Even a comedian can get offended by those hosts... Russell Peters handled it well though

[@lauraforconi9111]

AGREE

[@supreetpp]

lol, "The Russell that matters"...

[@michaeldeng1981]

That's why major medias are brainwashing

[@KhanivoreQniba]

Great comedian. His Indian upbringing has made him polite. dutiful, sincere and kind. Credit to his parents.

[@tomboyraider1015]

He always nails his accents. He's just too funny!

[@rrg2248]

How do they not know one of the most successful comedians in the world? His humor on KZbin got me through some tough times 10 years ago and his truths about every country's language and quirks, including Canada (I grew up just across the border) are spot on and done with affection.

[@fauzansobri7741]

the big hit she received when russell asked "are you jamaican?" and she was like, noooooooo.. haa

[@mosadash2229]

Yah.i noticed that reaction

[@tabashrafi9373]

How do people not know Russell??? This guy is HILARIOUS!!!

[@nextari]

Russell is a genius of comedy, hall of famer without question. Totally unique, original, hilarious, endearing, community based style. Sad that these losers have to bring on a guest and knock them down. He outclassed them all by miles.

[@g_mag]

horrible hosts!! They made Russel sound boring even though he is one of the funniest people on the planet

[@defiverr4697]

he is the funniest person on the planet, except for the Chinese store owner who thinks Russell needs to be a man.

George Mag as Russel’s black friends, those hosts might be confused too “he’s kind of black part latino but he speaks like us it’s amazing but is it ok if I laugh to his racists jokes and stuffs...”

[@Gavriel-og6jv]

He's my favorite comedian of all times.

[@amylee9]

Russell Peter jokes are just about the only ones I remember for decades. Funny and unique.

[@kiklocus4660]

he is a global super star comedian, I think more people know him around the world

[@Cami40]

One of the great comedians nowadays....awesome comedian

[@calibomber209]

As an American I’d have to say Russel is a top 5 comedians ever !

[@kalMHe]

I never expected Gayle to act that way when he asked if she was Jamaican. She immediately was in defensive mode. What's wrong about that question. Never seen you being this naive !

[@atlasshrugged2u]

Because she is programmed to be think act and do as an American. Totally brainwashed!

[@GK-lk2hm]

If this was Russell's show he would have told her "Not Jamaican! Girl, did you look yourself in the mirror?".

[@badgerfishinski6857]

I react that way when they ask me if I am from NYC, Chicago, or San Francisco. I get so put off and offended.

[@etclarke7884]

Even foreigners who live in Jamaica for years can’t do the Jamaican accent this good

[@91joelt]

Russell's great but those hosts are boring.

[@lauraforconi9111]

YEP

[@LegionOfWeirdos]

They're trying their best to remain as sterile as possible so they don't offend their senior citizen audience.

[@crankypipo]

Couldnt agree more. Its only work to them.

[@blocpartyrocker]

The hosts are god awful.

[@N.haya_]

And condescending, hated their vibe

[@pinoybrand]

True comedian who does not bow down to cancel culture.

[@recruitmentch]

04:01. She almost looks insulted to be asked if she's Jamaican.

[@nextari]

right? after telling him "no one's ever heard of you".

[@DudeTastic13]

Gayle King is not a journalist, but a token black on the show to show "diversity".

[@AynRand60]

She is dumb

[@GK-lk2hm]

If she was on his show, he would have definitely said to her "Not Jamaican! Did you look at yourself in the mirror girl?"..🤣🤣

[@Kha89478]

she thinks everyone sees her white

[@danle4257]

Peter rocks...he respects comedy legends and thats an admirable quality.

[@nofurtherwest3474]

He met Carlin in 92, had been doing standup for 3 yrs. So started standup in 89. Damn that's 30 years ago!

lmao! the struggle of most Indians. This older Hispanic lady asked me for direction in Spanish I said, "I'm sorry I don't speak Spanish" and she looked mad like I was lying to her and disrespecting her.

The hosts on this show are not good enough, they lack research, charisma, witt etc I know that Gayle is Oprahs bredrin but she's not that great.

Cbs is way too focused on race

[@Payin_Attention]

The entire corporate media is too focused - no - _ONLY_ focused on race, gender, 'orientation'...anything they can use to divide and conquer the masses, because that is what their billionaire puppet masters pay them to do.

Awesome Russell. Show them Americans who’s boss!

[@emoke150]

Being raised by an immigrant dad I can approve. I never had a real conversation with my dad either.

[@conradlobo3956]

She starts by telling her guest hey nobody knows you. A better way would have been to just ask why he isn't as popular in America as he is in the rest of the world. Luckily the other two hosts chipped in and said he was known by others. You could almost see Russell's face look a bit awkward for second. Had she bothered to do some research and watch his shows she would have handled it a lot better.

[@badgerfishinski6857]

She's too busy watching reruns of "the Jeffersons" where they mockedwhite people. But the white people laughrd too.

[@doesitmatter]

3:10 wheres my 40 mins on lithuanians? i demand it.

[@jetnut89]

This is so cringy. Its an awful interview with these people asking questions to purposely get him to respond with jokes from his act. The closest they got was when Gayle asks about his father influencing his comedy but derailed with the beating your kids bit.

[@footballworld2023]

I'm a big fan...you should do more jokes about jews

The black lady called him Indian but he is a Canadian with Indian heritage, she didn't accept to be called Jamaican lol. It is sad and shocking for black people the victims of racism to be racist.
