    Imo, the most interesting guest you've had so far. Having gone through manzai training and then making his living in the Japanese comedy world gives him such a unique perspective.

    Nick is a smart guy. I want to know how he keeps his English not rusty at all while speaking immaculate Japanese.

    Nick has some of the best Japanese ive ever seen from a foreigner. I watch him and atsu's channel for immersion all the time.

      I've always found Nick's language learning journey interesting in how he decided to join a manzai school before he became fluent in Japanese. It very much feels like dropping a baby in the deep end of the swimming pool, except that it was completely conscious and intentional on his part. I hope to one day have his sort of commitment.

    For immersion, I love watching videos with him and Atsu eigo talking about particular nuances of English. Great interview as always.

    Some of the older downtown shows are quite shocking, I was surprised that kind of stuff was ever allowed to be aired on TV. That kind of content still exists though it's just gone online shows like ăƒ€ăƒ©ă‚± and ç”°æ‘æ·łćœ°äžŠæłąă§ăŻăƒ€ăƒĄç”¶ćŻŸ are always a good watch.

    Wait we were both born in 1986? Jesus this dude likes like he's a good 10 years younger than me holy hell. What's his secret? Get him back on your show and ask him how he's pushing 40 and looks 24

    I wonder if it helps that he is both a foreigner and has a very Japanese look/ facial features. He looks more Asian than European in some significant ways.

    I think the reason why Japanese people reacted so bad to Chris Rock's joke instead of Will Smith's violence is just because making fun of disease conditions is a big nono in Japan. Still, I believe that violence in public is way worse, but remember, Japan still has a death penalty, and ppl grew up with Jump heroes.. so unconsciously this concept of "violence could be justifiable for revenge" penetrated people's minds in Japan đŸ€·â€â™‚

  • @nicholasammon4790
    @nicholasammon4790 Pƙed 2 lety +2

    so what you are saying is that making fun of people who stand out in anyway is what is comedy in Japan. sounds incredibly weak comedy and certainly problematic

    Nick isn't dealing with reality. Matt's Japanese makes Nick look like he was dropped on his head shortly after childbirth.
