The Matt Rife Interview: Netflix's $25M Comedian

[@mjconner5755]

I am 81yrs old. Was thrown of at first with his humor. But, I couldn't stop watching. Now I get it! I love him! I am totally hooked, you are amazing Matt. ❤

[@JYLee-rr1sy]

Especially when you learn about his backstory. Dad committed suicide, he struggled with depression, and grew up poor. That speaks volumes about his humor. The ones who are offended maybe have a right to be because it can be shocking but if they don't spend the time to investigate further it's their problem

Matt Rife is truly a kind soul. He is wicked sharp, quick witted, super creative and soo naturally funny. I think the crowd work he does is a perfect showcase of his natural ability and how talented he is. So, so funny! I spent a month in the hospital , i watched everything he has done and shared some of his bits to my nurses, Dr.’s and I credit getting through my dreadfully long stay on his humor, and his great vibes. I will never forget how hard he makes me laugh harder than anyone. I watch a lot of comedians , even know a few, Matt is already one of the GOATS!!

[@nannielson7790]

I was watching a clip of his where he full on stopped the whole show to make sure a fan/human who was having a seizure was okay. He alerted the medics to get up there and help. Yes, he put a humorous spin on it after the person was okay, and even took a picture with them right at that time. He got very serious when it mattered the most. That's when I knew he was an amazing human being. Yeah, he's famous for his excellent crowd work, but he's so much more for his kindness to people in general. Love him!

Personally, there are way too many folks today who look for things to be offended by. It has almost reached epidemic proportions imo. If you can't laugh at life's absurdities, heartaches, health problems, etc., you won't live long.

I think laughing is key to framing the mind’s resiliency to feelings and focus mind to think more clearly to remain level! It is under appreciated and not understood! We need to strengthen our minds to be critical self thinkers to overcome and build up the mind so it isn’t susceptible to victimhood! Victimhood breads weakness, weak thoughts and thought processes and conclusions and policy! I always laugh at myself with whomever it is in the moment who cracks a joke at me! Always! And then I am never offended and we laugh and joke together!!! We need to stop talking about and seeing color and start talking about us as HUMANS and U.S. citizens! God bless the good!

[@raiyvien8986]

I LOVE how he talks about if he had gotten things earlier in his life, he wouldn't have handled it correctly. It's sooo true. Being humbled a few times definitely makes you value your success and not expect your success. We see this with most (NOT all) people that get success, looks, money, etc when they are younger. They then usually just expect certain treatment/lifestyles If you work for it ir get it later in life, theres usually a bit more humility and value

What a great interview! People have to understand that comedy is 1) an amazing way to cope with hard moments in life. 2) it's a way to criticise the things that are wrong in the world. 3) it's supposed to unite people from different backgrounds through the little things that we all have in common as humans. 4) it's not malicious, it's matter of fact. 5) it's freedom. This guy is precious because he's great at doing all of the above with his heart in the right place. And believe me, as a person with disabilities, I wish every person were like Matt when I'm going through harder times! I am stupidly foolish when I have to deal with hardship and lots of people look at me in a judgemental way... Hey!

Hes not that funny though. Weird to like someone who isnt funny

[@angeljazz22]

@@billybusseyhe’s not that funny to YOU though. You can’t say he’s “not that funny” when a lot of people thinks he actually is. You don’t speak for everyone, it can be your opinion, but not everyone thinks the same.

[@ericd1084]

​@@billybussey He's pretty funny to me. You probably think Seinfeld is funny.

[@Nonniewantsmore]

@billybussey He’s not really that funny……. he’s freakin’ hilarious. 😂😂😂

[@shanecampbell5100]

@@billybusseyhis crowd work is impeccable! Sorry for you that you don’t appreciate his work but I’m sure there are plenty of comedians that you can appreciate. This doesn’t mean he isn’t funny. He literally shut down Ticketmaster! Taylor Swift is the only other person to ever do this.

People who are fans of someone will always out number those haters out there

[@jakkermanrn]

Laughter definitely is the best medicine. Thank you Matt for the medicine! ❤️❤️

[@mathenalynn5]

I'm 68 and haven't stopped laughing since I found Matt Rife. He never holds back and is the nicest person at the same time😂! He's on my bucket list!

[@REDDEVIL9269]

Matt deserves all the fame he's getting, I've never met such a down to earth and genuine person 🎉

[@shiryzie]

Matt Story is so inspiring nd reminds me of the bamboo growth story. Where nothing happens for yrs, but then you get that 1 yr of growth out of nowhere. Love it 🙌🏽 I stay using this story as an example for ppl that want to quit stuff they been working on for years.

[@kevinoshiro8608]

@shiryzie Thanks so much for your bamboo comment and how you encourage people with it. I've been slogging away at something for ten years... you just gave me a boost to keep going.

[@LookNBeef]

Matt speaks so well.....he sounds intelligent and more.....All is states about comedy I feel is true......I am a forner Ohioian too.......must be in the water.

[@deborahlewandowski3206]

I'm 68, love Matt and hope to get to see him in person someday

[@allan1448]

Thx Jon for this nice and wholesome interview with a person with a heart of gold. I think you find good ways to disarm a crazy situation and the way you handle the people is amazing! Thx for the inspiration and keep up the good work!

[@youshaei]

Thank you!! 🙏

[@deborahlewandowski3206]

I do like his crowdwork more than his standup... he's so great at thinking on his feet and being spontaneous... interaction with the audience has an incomparable energy that's contagious...

[@ИКАГРИН-ф2з]

Great interview 👍🏻

[@kathrynmorrow5956]

Whats so amazing about u matthew is that all your material seems so spontaneous, i never would have thought you had specific jokes set up

[@TheNerdistheWord]

Great job on this incredible interview!! Showing the story of the start inspiring to so many I’m sure. I’d never make it in the public eye, but congratulations to Matt for his hard work and never quitting! You truly deserve this fame and fortune! Use it wisely!

[@ArizonaGammy]

Surprisingly so humble. Great performer, genuine.

[@jmbewleyjr]

I watched the special last night. I gave it a two thumbs up. It is not his best crowd works I have ever seen him do, but it was great. He just SO good at it.

[@ethanjen1]

It is so great to see a young person so passionate about his craft.

[@Catmommy22]

I absolutely love Matt and his dark sense of humor it's another way to look at something.

[@PatsyWarren-e4d]

I love Matt. He’s so funny! I did get scammed for several days, so be careful everyone. My fault and those scammers are good. They have him down. I hope one day to actually meet him!

[@rosemaryjeeves1492]

I am lonely, but I'm delighted when I watch your shows, as I laugh and relax. Love your humour. God bless xxx🎉 I'm 79 and live in the UK.

[@alexobrien3890]

Love the improv crowd work! I watched this special and enjoyed it! Matt is a natural at this!

[@chalyndriaheide2092]

Matt seeing you in this interview so very much confirms that you are who I have thought you we're since I just by chance came across one of your KZbin clips something like a year and a half ago. The person you have showed all of us that you are is such a wonderful person. You help make so many make light of just so much. You bring so many so much laughter and happiness. We so very much have to thank you.

[@jimmyispromo]

Dude definitely got humbled. Glad he thanked the camera and made it a personal thank you

[@PerfectlyYou13]

Never would tell someone how to do their job so just saying, camera on Jons face after Matt said you helped all of this happen wouldve been pure gold

[@stephaniefay3741]

This kid is always so well spoken.

[@cathy9224]

I too am older than dirt, and his comedy is ageless and timeless, extremely proud of you, for you, and all you do!!!

[@AshokaTano4Life]

I am 19 years old and I have a panic and eating disorder. The fact that he is trying to make people laugh over it is so sweet. I wish I could laugh about my anxiety. I hope I can eventually. Right now it’s overpowering my life and the stuff I do. It’s really hard for sure! When I see Matt Rife’s videos and his Netflix specials. They make me happy and make me forget about my issues. I hope to see him at one of his shows. If I can’t afford it then I’ll just keep trying my best to work hard and get the money to go see him. He’s definitely someone I look up to. Knowing he has anxiety and depression as well has really got me to love him even more!!
