Jon Gnarr, on how he created a political party called "The Best Party" through friends & facebook. He then became the mayor of Reykjavik & changed some things up. Enjoy!

Craig: "So you were the mayor of Reykjavik?"
Jón: "Jau"
This man is confirmed icelandic

Jon Gnarr just announced he's running for President of Iceland. Stay tuned, world.

[@Vitringur]

Jón Gnarr said in the campaign that during the recession he wasn't getting any gigs and for once he just wanted a "cozy inside job".
Pretty sure he has openly talked about just playing ninja fruit slasher on his iPad during meetings.

Iceland is in the North-Atlantic, it's Capital City is Reykjavik.

[@WhosAGoodDogue]

- that is true, so, it stands to reason the follow up question is _''how many peppers are there in a peck?''_

[@IceCold]

@@WhosAGoodDogue we are from Iceland!
We have the biggest Fortntie CZcams channel in Iceland!

[@WhosAGoodDogue]

That sharp twist at 15:00 ish by Craig, even the mood of the audience shifted from negative to positive. What an amazing wit, charm and sense!!
Mr. Jayleno Fly, during this difficult time we're all facing - the quarantines, fear, boredom and sense of loss - Thank you, THANK YOU THANK YOU for re-uploading the old Craig Ferguson videos you used to share. The laughter they unlocked and the healing therein were a blessing then and sure to be one now..Thank You.
I hope everyone reading this is safe and laughing their butts off :)

Zelenski met Jón at a conference and told him he was his main role model. Zelenski as a comedian was playing in series where a comedian becomes a president. So Zelenski became a president because the fiction became reality. And Jóns spoof party developed steadily from fiction to reality but ended up winning. He was a good mayor.😊

[@bleumarin1968]

this guy is great, you should all read his book plus the 3 others he wrote about his growing up (3 books, The Indian, The Pirate, The Outlaw, in this order). We should all be so lucky to have politicians like him. He should be cloned for the rest of the world.

[@kristjanthorsteinsson3412]

I think all countryes has people like him, it´s the upgrowing, oppertunityes and the overall thinking here in Iceland that made him the way he is. Here it´s ok to be out of the norm and find your ways. It used to be a way of being a "trouble maker" but as you find your meaning/ your thing. All ways are possible. Just imagine how many Albert Einsteins or Issac Newtons has been unnoticed and just has been discarted as "trouble makers" or hasn´t fit in the norm...

[@arnabchakraborty92]

Whoa! I didnt know he was a guest! Thanks for this!

[@arnabchakraborty92]

His story is so inspiring. I might do it in India :p

[@benjaminbjornsson9300]

13:10 best laughter ever

[@rohmarts]

A politician with a CRASS tattoo, I'm in!

[@evegasse6999]

His laugh is fucking amazing.

[@robertwilliam9939]

I love him so much

[@grumpy_doctor]

I knew it! I knew Sigur Ros is one of the factors that contributes to Craig's fascination of Iceland. I mean,you seen Heima? Place is gorgeous.

[@notmurd0c]

The only mayor to have a Crass symbol tattooed visibly.

[@icessoup]

Didnt know this, awesome interview

[@henrique773]

10:13 best laugh ever

[@sophialoren7855]

Meanwhile in the Philippines, electing comedians has always been the norm.

[@derPetunientopf]

It doesnt count if they dont know that they are comedians. Its a fixed rule. I just made it up but its still binding.

[@naimas8120]

Still waiting for vice ganda to run as senator :)

[@josiahjacinto4156]

Oh god no! Not Vice!

[@bobknull7502]

Damn. I wanted to see him go for the big cash prize.

[@miklosbelhazy741]

Just said the same!

[@DragonSMP]

How many books did Craig collect over his career on TLLS?

[@Drullusokkurinn]

Absolute Legend

[@Brynjar1985]

Jón Gnarr er goðsögn

[@kandarpdesai3108]

Anyone think Jon looks like Grindelwald?

[@zorantaylor3190]

The Best Party on WFMU

[@str8kronic]

Anyone thought that was conan o'Brien in the thumbnail

[@plokkfiskur9094]

That does make sense since Jón Gnarr is pretty much the icelandic Conan'O'Brian

[@mariarahelvarnhagen2729]

Go There

[@franciscabdul2828]

if this guy had a son named Lee,that would make Gnarr Lee

[@arnaeus7448]

His name would be Lee Jónsson

[@justanotherhotguy]
