He's living in gratitude, and I love when people's dreams come to fruition
all these white moms lol
@@b.k8051 I am an Asian woman and not a mom. You need introspection.
@@jackie41083 Sure you are
@@b.k8051 Yes, I am. Seriously, go introspect.
@@b.k8051 Yes, I am. You should seriously introspect.
The way he welcomes and includes his disabled fans, fans that are deaf, or in wheelchairs is amazing to me. I fell in love with him the first time I saw him respond that way to his fans.
I like the way he makes fun of ugly and fat chicks
I agree love to see it, unfortunately in modern world lot of people are taking things way too seriously, he is getting a lot of hate after some jokes. Bro that is his JOB.
Yes, and he’s kind.. He’s not the most hilarious comedian but he’s such a clever young man with so many references that most young people wouldn’t have a clue about..
@@GabrielGoods old lady gang! We out here stanning Matt rife
Yes I totally agree.
Couldn’t think of anyone else who deserves this more, major props. Really hope to see Troy bond and Jeff Arcuri on next!
What about me?
You too @@MrCamvill of course 🙂 NOW GO WORK ON YOUR SKILLS FOR 12YRS, and come back here, we can talk 😀
I literally, 2 weeks ago, just heard of Matt ... so glad I did. He's great, his crowd work is awesome!
You remind me of my appendix. I could live without you.
What about Simone Biles and Ellen Page!?!?
This guy is amazing. He jumped off the stage to give me a Selfie with him, then, this man went over and gave a huge hug to another lady who was also in a wheelchair. Absolutely fantastic night. Matt, when you return to London Ontario Canada, I will be there. What an amazing and caring young man. Cheers.
I’m hoping he plays southern Ontario in the near future. He’s fabulously funny! 🇨🇦💖
I think that’s in a clip in the ether. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen that sequence of events so it’s probably you. Very cool !
Were you the pee in pool shirt guy? lol
@@joshcryer correct.
@@Phantom-Signal LEGEND
Found Matt Rife while I was home struggling with severe depression browsing through videos. Nothing would crack even the slightest smile on my face, not even my favorite show Seinfeld 😢.. this guy is genuinely a great comedian, he made me laugh after months of not being able to ❤ so glad you finally got the recognition you deserve 😊
Thank you for sharing!!! Laugh out loud!!! ❤❤❤❤😂❤😂
🎉😎🥰
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hope yalright, my dude
Same here.
I never find painful things funny, such as videos showing ppl get hurt doing stupid things.
However, Matt has a very unique talent to bring humor to a painful subject without the pain.
It is very hard to make me laugh but Matt makes me laugh out loud.!!!
Having only seen him in shorts and on stage, I never would've thought he was such a genuine and honest person. LOVE to see it. Absolutely the kind of person that the entertainment industry needs. I hope it doesn't break him.
Ikkkr? I was just thinking he looks too innocent and pure for the industry 🥺 i hope it will only make him inevitably grow thick skin but still keeping his genuine side
He is on various Podcast being interviewed. He is hilarious and kind. I love a comedian who does crowd work. It makes it so good because it isn't planned. He has to be quick on his feet. Now I see he does have pre-planned jokes too. I guess it is harder doing crowd work on a big special. He has become one of my favorite comedians from watching his RUclips videos.
I wonder why that he never mentioned that he was on Nick Cannons show Wild n Out for 5 seasons?
@@disguiseddv8ant486It's probably because he hates black people.......just kidding. But I think you're really looking for that kind of a dumbass answer lol
@@disguiseddv8ant486that’s so true!!! That’s a huge platform hmm 🤔
What an utterly delightful guy. So smart and well spoken! I predict he will get a late night show himself one day!
With his quick witted crowd work, he has to…someday! I’d rather he wait until he’s paid his dues to get one of the big ones though, rather than a network creating one for him- they never seem to last long.
I hope he replaces jimmy kimmel 🤢
Nah he seems too boring with regular conversations, did you laugh at anything he said in this interview? Imagine 1 hours of questions and answers.
Yap
I imagine him being a spiritual successor to Craigy Ferg.
This man is E V E R Y W H E R E and I'm absolutely happy for him 🎉
Didn't he SA someone....? 😳
He’s everywhere and came outta nowhere…industry plant?
He didn’t come outta nowhere…..he was on wild n out for years
😅😬🤮
Actually, now thinking about entertainment industry and fame in general, only people who make deal with the devil and sell their souls are receiving this huge fame.
How can you not love this guy!! He’s a prime example of why you NEVER GIVE UP on your dream!!
true
and never skip the gym
He is rambling and so excited/nervous to be on the show with Jimmy LOL Hard work pays off!
I freaking love Matt Rife! So funny sweet and humble!!
Simp 😹
Yeah everyone thirsting over this dude
@@rogue.akatsuki so if somebody is genuinely happy for another person's success, he/she is a simp?
Also please look up what simp actually means... I'll help you out:
"Simp is a slang insult for men who are seen as too attentive and submissive to women, especially out of a failed hope of winning some entitled sexual attention or activity from them. The word simp is meant to troll young men for doing anything for a girl to get some action he supposedly deserves."
Kinda sad no one cared about him until he became attractive
@@rogue.akatsukiyou don’t know what the word simp means lmfaooo embarrassing
Dude is gonna kill it in Hollywood. Not crazy. Well spoken and humble. a unicorn. you can tell he’s paid his dues and enjoys every minute. I hope he stays in the light for a while.
"Paid his dues?" Sure, just goes to show, even if you have to stick with it all the way to the ripe old age of 28, you can still make it. Look, we agree he earned it, he worked hard, he's funny, there's demand for his supply, but to say someone this young "paid his dues" is simply a misapplication of that phrase. Not trying to gatekeep, he deserves it, but he's a young success story. Rodney Dangerfield paid his dues.
@@dianapevtsov The dude put in 10 years and didn't quit, to comedians that's paying your due
Some of us have been here for 20 years STILL paying our dues, lol - but, I'm no comedian and I'm very happy for him because I know the struggle he went through because I've gone through the same on my path.@@forgottenalex
@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist5 God’s love is the most precious thing in all of existence
@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist5 How can you "repent" to a dead guy? Are you brain-dead? And that thing "what no eye has seen and ear heard" means they are making it up. It's fiction.
Man he's so humble and down to earth, I'm really happy he made it this far.
I saw Matt live last night in Seattle. He was phenomenal! So personal. Connected with his audience. Quick witted and genuinely grateful for everyone there. We all took a photo with him in the audience. Best night I’ve had in such a long time.
I've only recently found Matt Rife and watched as many of his videos I could find. He's drawing in so many generations, young and old. I'm one of his "older" fans. Seeing him in person is now on my bucket list. Can hardly wait!
I love how attentive and excited Matt is when Jimmy’s talking. You can tell he’s genuinely so grateful to be where he is. I’m seeing him next March. MEET&GREET! I’m so excited. Matt Rife is going to be a household name in comedy in a few years.
He already is too people who follow his comedy
How was the meet and greet?
How did you get a Meet & Greet?
Its crazy seeing Matt get a glow up AND become this huge of a comedy celebrity after watching him on Wild&Out for YEARS. Damn! Congrats dude.
Really crazy
Right?? Bc he wasn’t handsome and sought after like this on Wild n Out lol it rlly was a glo up
We've fallen hard as a society if this guy is considered funny.
@@ebogar42damn people with opinions amirite
@@ebogar42entertainment is what you enjoy. Namd your favorite comic. My guess is that others will disagree with your choice.
I love how genuine his gratitude is, just beautiful inside and out 😊
Just to know, he too went through sp many failures with that granpa support and for a friend who stood by him... hez like any one of us in our struggles... but he persevered. And that the icing on the cake. Thanks Matt!
Matt Rife popped into my life and it immediately brightened my life . He’s a genuine and humble soul who with determination and perseverance followed his dream. He’s a Cinderella story come true and he deserves everything good.I hope his comedy and presence stays with us for forever.I can’t wait to see him in March and that’s my dream coming true.💗💓💓
His special will break Netflix... Everyone watching at once! Love Matt Rife. I consider this a birthday gift! 😂💕
Happy Birthday! I hope it was magical. Have a great rest your special day. 🥳🎂
You are sweet 😅
Happy birthday!
I won’t be watching.
@@CaraT1978 awww i bet he’ll be sooo sad that CaraT1978 isn’t watching :( i’ll break it to him gently… have fun being a loser instead!
The way my jaw DROPPED when this came up on my recommended page 😭😭 SO incredibly proud of and happy for Matt!!
Lol I had the same reaction it just popped up for me too and I was shook and so freaking excited I clicked so fast lol
I love the way he talks, so honest and direct with always the right words he knows how to express himself, he is polite and well educated :) I wish him nothing but the best. I really love his stand up comedy too 🩷
Ikr, I'm soaked !
Its from being an ugly kid all your life to feeling good about yourself confidence hits different
One of the best interviews I've ever watched. Truly impressed with how down to earth he is. Respect!
I just discovered him and his humor is amazing!! His inclusion of everyone he encounters in his shows - disabled, "old" people, every ethnicity.....he's just a stellar Comedian. I so hope that he continues to get the publicity and is able to maintain for the long-haul!
This guy is gonna overtake the comedy world and I'm happy to see it!
Very well deserved
Matts so quick witted,
his audience work is amazing, and hes downright hilarious so happy for him love his comedy what a legend🎉.
you can tell he is so humble and grateful just to be where hes at. matt, i know your grandpa would love to see where you are now, so i hope you believe hes watching. you know your biggest supporter isnt gonna leave you! so happy and proud that you are finally catching the break youve deserved for so long
Love this guy. I’ve followed his career for a few years, so it’s great to see the success he’s having. He deserves it 100%
Him being so humble only makes me love him even moreee!! He’s so good!
Matt Rife is such a good guy with a good head on shoulders, and insanely talented. His crowd work (no one else writing it, no stealing of jokes, just sheer talent) is unparalleled and a testament to his talent. Seen both his specials and looking forward to the Netflix one on Nov 15th.
I am beyond thrilled for Matt. I saw his first TikTok viral video and have been a huge fan ever since. I kept telling my husband “this kid is going places and he’s gonna blow up!” He’s such a genuine good guy. I wish him the very best!
He was on wild and out and he was super dorky. He was not lying in his one short where he said he got hot overnight. LOL
Same with me. I first saw clip last year on tiktok and knew he's going to be big. Tiktok can be a good place for a lot of underrated performers.
@@leahbia82Hello there
I've been a fan of his since Wild n Out, Matt is freakin hilarious
Ahh yes, that’s where I had originally seen him befor
Ohh that nice
The one who infamously touched Zendaya, failed in rizz and nearly got his ass wh00ped 💀
@SupernaturalLove100 he's better then Wild n Out now w his crowd work.
@@SupernaturalLove100haha the dirty fingernails 😅
1:37 Grandpa support is unbelievable❤❤❤❤
Unfortunately deceased.
Im way late to the party. Social media can drive anyone crazy. This man makes me laugh so much. It really helps getting through tough days. I appreciate it a lot.
He has the fastest wit with the crowd work! Love it
He is too honest and nice for these mainstream slimy interview shows. I hope people protect him.
It’s the tonight show calm down 😂, plus if you don’t know the guy in person then calling him honest is crazy considering you only know from what you see and hear on social media
I was 🤔 the same thing. They're gonna eat him alive...
Dave got him...
He's literally a misogynistic
Matt is not stupid though. Most comics don't give a fuck anyways lol
He is definitely humble, grateful person which is exactly the kind of person that deserves all the success. Good for him.
Matt deserves all the love he’s getting . Great guy , incredibly humble and of course hilarious !
I love his personality..very humble guy...and relatable too. Wish him more success ❤
We are all witnessing this guys rise and it’s awesome! I found who he was because of Wild ‘N Out ngl. Now I find myself in loops on RUclips, watching his crowd work, interviews, and even his ghost hunting with the Overnight crew. Best part about it, he’s ridiculously humble. Love when someone wins. Especially someone who deserves it!
I wish his G'pa was alive to see his success. Matt's special called (His name) does a tribute to G'pa at the end. I was in tears!
Anyway, he's the best comedian out there that says "Fugg political correctness!". He says jokes that ya think people would start throwing things, then he comes back and says to the audience, "WHAAAT??"., LOL! Then he explains his joke and how it should not offend you!
And as everyone says, his crowd work is PRIMO!
Love me some Matt Rife❤‼️
My husband and I adore him! We cannot wait for his special! Congratulations on all your success, @mattrife !!!✨️
I love how humble and sweet he is. Its adorable
so proud of him, he did a show that i saw in Colorado springs for maybe 15 people, he was amazing. he always gives his all in his performances no matter the audience number. so glad he's getting the recognition he deserves.
GO Matt!! :)
I never followed comedians before, hes the only one that actively makes me laugh every time I come across his clips. Hope he goes far
He is an unbelievably nice guy! I worked a couple of his shows back in March and had such a good time with him and his crew. So polite, so respectful.
He seriously deserves all that success. Just saw him live last month and it was such an amazing experience.
You are so lucky! I'm so jealous.
I won't see him for 6 months, so hard to wait that long.
hehehe @sarahi12492. He truly deserves it . Also your eyes are pretty just letting you know
I was literally thinking “why hasn’t Matt gotten a Netflix special before” then jimmy says he has a Netflix special 😂 FR Matt definitely deserves this especially hearing his story of how he became a comedian in other specials on RUclips.
Really 😂😂😂 I definitely think he does dear
This man is freaking hilarious. He goes where no other comedian goes and makes it work it's brilliant.
Grateful and humble. Glad to see his success 👏
Remember him on Wild n Out back in the day and he held his own and was damn funny 😁
I love this guy for honoring his grandpa and for his grandpa supporting and loving him ❤
This dude is a master of crowd work!
Good for him. He’s been all over and I wish him nothing but success. Funny dude right there.
He may be one of the best comics of all time when all is said and done. He does crowd work like it's nobody's business. The guy can think of stuff off the top of his head with such precision with his own style of comic tilt. You cannot help but laugh.
Matt Rife is an absolutely brilliant comedian. Congratulations on your sold out tour in 2023 it's so well deserved. We are all very proud watching you dedicate yourself to your audience and fans throughout the years on and off stage. We know that behind the scenes you are hard working making yourself an incredibly successful comedian. Wishing you all the best towards your new journey! 💝 Much love and support from 🇨🇦
So happy for him! Kudos to you grandpa as well for being there for you.
Just saw this guy randomly come across my RUclips feed a few days ago. A natural funny guy. It’s refreshing to find new comedy.
Been a fan for years. I LOVE him. He’s extremely smart, very well spoken, genuine and a witty conversationalist with great delivery. A very pretty entire package. Good for him. 🎉
didn’t he joke about domestic violence amongst other misogynistic comments ? yikes
grow some thick skin then@@poochie107
I still remember during COVID I found this guy's video on YT and thought he would have been a renowned comedian but saw it didn't had much views, and right now mann. Really great guy, happy for him!
Jimmy, you're wonderful for bringing him on the show because he deserves it all! That man works so hard and tells jokes around uplifting and positive life messages. He's one of a kind and I'm so happy to see him getting his props!!!
He's probably the most humble person to ever sit on that seat. Congratulations 👏
He is really funny. He worked hard to get where he is and he seems completely genuine.
Not funny at all.
@@ebogar42Always gotta be that one guy huh
Always gotta be that one guy who says always gotta be that one guy. @@paradox9265
@@ebogar42
You’re not funny at all
What an asshat!
@@ebogar42 I’ve noticed all your comments on all replies for everyone are so negative. You really must be a lonely and sad person. Life is what you make it. Why be so miserable and negative?
I'm happy for you, Mr. Rife. Your hard work is paying off.
It’s so crazy I got to see him at a small comedy club in Miami last year, and take a picture with him, and now he’s selling out stadiums! I can barely get my hands on any tickets 😭😭 I’m so happy for him
I’ve never heard of this guy until a while ago. I’ve watched about 20 mins of his routine so far. And his talent comes from being able to have “ad-hoc” conversations with his audience. Unrehearsed…and absolutely hilarious! That takes a lotta’ talent!
As funny as he is on stage as a comedian, I feel like I love listening to him more in interviews. Great insights from this man. I love how he just exudes gratitude.
Can we just appreciate how this guy is not only funny but so smart and well spoken too
Totally agreeeee
He's good looking too
100%
He absolutely deserves this recognition, I'm so proud of Matt
I love his shows. He deserves every single bit of recognition he gets.
I am seeing Matt Rife in April. I am so excited!
Love Matt Rife!! So excited to him getting recognition he deserves!! ❤️
Thank you dear
You so beautiful
Been watching this guy on wild n out then Overnight paranormal channel then my little sis found him on Netflix and now he's in the tonight show this dude does rap and paranormal and stand up best of luck to him
I love Matt Rife! I was one of those 30 million in the beginning of TiKTok. Can't wait for his Netflix Special. I just wanna say; JIMMY FALLON is killin' it this week. MATT RIFE and JUNGKOOK all in one week. You have made my life Complete. Thanks for booking such incredible talent.
I literally just found you on youtube shorts, it was Logan. The way you made him laugh and me also. I knew you were the real deal, and genuine. I had to subscribe, as we need laughter right now ❤ You deserve success.😊
@MattStevenRife Doing awesome! Thanks for the reply.
Love Matt's quick witty and his improvisation! Wishing him much success in his career. This 60 yr old momma related to his sense of humor. 👏👏👏
Matt Rife is pretty cool. I like that he’s finally receiving the attention he’s been after and capable of handling it due to his experience for many many years. He’s still young and now the path has lighten up for him. Wish him good luck and a great journey. Will be watching him 🤘🏼
This man deserves the recognition
He got the talent, gratitude and humble
Creo que el éxito de Matt es que su comedia es tan fácil de entender que aunque uno no sea de la cultura estadounidense puede entender sus chistes y reírse de ellos. Me alegra ver que Matt está logrando tanto y aunque nunca vendrá a LatAm al menos existirá algo traducido en Netflix. ❤
“The irony of something you dreaded doing changing your life” “take more chances” “I’m now in the proper position at the proper time”
These are words that clearly speak to me and help me to trust my experiences without being attached to tue outcome .
So profound !!
I’m new to Matt Rife comedy and I find him hilarious!! Now I’m learning about him and am glad to have him in my energy space as someone I can respect 🙏💝🙏
I am happy you got the recognition you deserve Matt. I cant get enough of you!
MATT RIFE DESERVES THIS LOVE. I have seen him since Wild n Out and it feels brilliant to see him here at center in front of so many people.
Absolute master at live comedy... The stuff he says off the cuff is just absolutely hilarious, like "how do you think of that so fast" type of funny. Cant wait to see this guy live one day.
I love how he gets by with so much he says and makes it real and hilarious! We need more of his realistic views that would upset many, but his humor removes all the politically incorrect nonsense and makes us see the fun side of it! YOU GO, MATT!!
I was surprised he's a bit on the raunchy side but he pulls it off.
Just recently discovered him on RUclips. Can't get enough! So funny and easy on the eyes at the same time!
Matt Rife is a natural comedian and born sh^t stirrer ,,, and I'm LOVING every second of his performances 😊💜
It’s so encouraging to hear people’s experiences of their rise to success. Love this interview! ❤
He seemed like he popped up out of nowhere but he's been in the game for quite awhile and like Bobby Lee said, he's been through what every comics been through and he definitely deserved this.
I am so happy for Matt! I discovered him a few months ago and I’ve been hooked ever since!
He’s so genuine you can see how happy and grateful he is to be there
Discovered this guy recently and wow he is one of the best out there.
So happy you consider me as one of the best
Wow all his hard work is paying off! Keep up that grind matt!! Supporting for life ❤❤❤
What this man doesn't have? Comedy(humor), chrisma, gratitude, confidence. At this point you just have to be happy for him 😊
Long live matt 💙
He doesn't have talent or wit, but okay. 🙄
@@MothGirl007and he’ll never ask you out, but okay.

Wowww! These are the kind of stories that I love. He worked his behind off to be where he is today, and it’s only going to get better. He is literally my all time favorite!!!
Most authentic interview I've seen in a long time. You go, Matt!
So happy he's finally getting his time to shine! So funny and humble.
Happy to see Matt getting the recognition he deserves. He truly is a great comic. 🙌🏻
He’s amazing. I’m so happy for his success!
Love Matt Rife. He’s so down to earth and humble. We need more people like him in Hollywood. He’s naturally very funny and doesn’t have to force it. GO Matt, we got ur back 🩵
Matt Rife is one of my most favorite comedians. Love his interaction with audience.
