    Matzukas is a class of his own, along with another Greek American comic: Zack Garyfalakis

    God I hope he isn't a liberal. He comes off as a free thinker who wouldn't take democrats or CNN's word for it. It would hurt if he came out in support of a man who spent years hiding and burying the fact that his father's side of the family owned and traded s l a v e s. It would hurt that he supports a man who hates America and is trying to change it for his love of another country that paid him at min 10mil to his corrupt son

      nobody in bidens family owned slaves. His maternal family came from Mayo, Ireland in the early 1850s and his fathers side of the family didn't own slaves according the the Maryland census records of the day.

    I don't know why Off Camera videos aren't way more popular. Great guests, great host...is it the Black and White photography that turns people off? I mean, WTF?
    Another classic blunder courtesy of the CZcams algorithm.

      @@ecrhoad you're FULLY colorblind? only because that is EXTREMELY rare, to literally see no color in anything. Most colorblind people, including myself, it's about having trouble distinguishing between just a couple certain colors. For me it's blue/green. They can often really sort of blend together for me, but I do still generally have the ability to see color in the world.

    I've really taken a liking to Jason Mantzoukas recently. He's funny, very real, and seems nice and genuine, not like a lot of the characters he plays. He did a great video for that record store where they show what kind of music they listen to it. I forget what it was called but he's got really interesting and diverse taste too.

      It's the Amoeba "What's in my Bag" series! They always have such interesting people & it's a fun insight into their personality to find out what they pick. Also check out the "How Did This Get Made" podcast with Jason, Paul Scheer (from the League), & June Diane Raphael. They rip on awful movies & it's great!

    Sam Jones seems like a pretty great interviewer. He acts like a therapist. Ask a probing question, and then get out of the way. He anticipates a lull and has another probing question ready. Nice work, Jason Mantzoukas is an underappreciated talent.

    • @kevinw712
      @kevinw712 Před 5 lety +1

      well cause frankly it's more like a conversation than an interview. He's not someone you see is clearly rattling off one totally preconceived question at a time, seeming to not even listen to what the answer is, much less engaging a follow up back and forth.

    • @lindan.137
      @lindan.137 Před 5 lety +4

      Yeah and unlike some interviewers, who just let the guest talk for the audience but don't feel they need to actually listen to them and do these like, fake "whoa's" and "that's interesting", this guy seems to be actually affected by what the guests are saying, he really connects to their stories emotionally, and I think that's why he does so well with follow-up questions etc
