Russell, you have come so far since our days working at Yuk Yuks in the early 90s in Toronto. I will never forget, getting off work early one night and being in tears sitting in the front row of Cab listening to your brilliant show! I am so proud of your great success, you have certainly worked hard for it and wish you all the best in LA. Your friend Lisa

Its 2021 what u on about
2024
When I was dating my Indian ex-wife, she introduced me to Russell Peters via his comedy specials. Her U.S family & the family in India couldn’t get enough of him. He is a true comedic genius.
i'm one american who LOVES this guy. guaranteed gut laughs every time!
"What brought your dad to Canada?"
"An airplane" damn 😂😂😂
ctguboy 😅🤣
😆
His mind is on another level. So funny lol. He should have said boat , just to confuse people who dont know geography and trust me, lot of people nowadays dont🤣🤣🤣🤣
Smart and inteligent people in America know Russell.
So smart that you misspelled "intelligent" :D
Lol. I am southern, and I know him, love his stuff!! But I'm an anomaly!🤔
Listening to him speak, he is not only hilarious, he is very intelligent, that is a winning combination. The mad indian and chinese joke had me in stitches, so much so that I couldn’t catch my breath. His imitation of different accents never fail to make me laugh. I hope he posts more comedy on RUclips.
Super intelligent bro! Very logical, philosophical, articulate and so funny! I love being made fun of whenever I go to his shows (always front row). Seeing him in San Diego in June
Despite being a racial minority who had undergone racism, Russell still managed to summon the courage and confidence to go up there on stage and confront the audience that would judge him more harshly, and yet succeed at the level he is at now: indeed a very admirable example of someone with courage, fortitude and character.
Here, here, well said Arthur.
No such thing as a Racial Minority. Stop that nonsense.
Yeah sure poor Russell, the racist people were so mean to him. His only reason for success is motivation from self pity. This way of thinking is a sickness.
Lol he's far from a racial minority. And he's a big boy he can handle it.
Being racial minority is two-edged sword, he can get off with things that most white comedians would get cancelled for. Really unfortunate because like he said, it’s not words, but intent that matter
Russell Peters is a great comedian.
Chris Guy amazing lol
Agreed. He could fill stadiums in the UK,Ireland,Australia, Canada, India. Middle East, Singapore, Malaysia,Hong Kong.
He is especially good at accents and depicting different ethnic stereotypes (including latino ) and he does it better than anybody else.
soon as he said "i grew up in the last freedom of speech era" i hit the like.
Being a comedian is no laughing matter! It's hard work!
He's funniest when he fake accents! I love it.
Somebody gonna get a hurt ... real baad
I saw you in another comment section in one of his standup comedies in youtube
Yup, he specialize in imitating various accents and he is so on point
Thats what makes him unique and entertaining compared to other comedians.
i agree.
Be a Man!
That 'mad Indian' and 'mad chinese' was just brilliant.
'The truth has become politically incorrect' - so true, and what a tragic truth at that!
Facts
Russell Peter's Mum and dad was good friends of me and my husband. We had great parties in my home in Brampton, Ontario
WAS?
@@jacquelynn2051 auto correct,pill
@@jacquelynn2051 Russell's dad died. He is no more. RIP
Then you woke up
Lucky you! ☺️
I used to think Larry King was an extremely rude interviewer because he always cuts people off. Now, I recognize his talent of keeping the coni moving, covering as many topics as possible and getting a lot of information in a short amount of time. He’s the GOAT!
This is the most sincere I've ever seen him in interviews! You can actually see the man rather than the stage persona
I can relate to his cultural references born in Trinidad, West Indies. I am of Arab, Indian, Portuguese, African and Spanish decent. Our country has a wide mix of races and his point of view is spot on in describing the cultures. Makes me feel like he is talking about my neighbours. Love every minute, makes me laugh every time.
Great rhythm in this interview. Not a second goes to waste.
R.I.P Larry, you really were one of the greats.
This is nonsense. Americans LOVE Russell Peters. He's hilarious. He's an equal opportunity insult comic.
People aren't in the moment anymore..
You are loved by all Russel Peters! I laugh so much when I see your comedy shows, I'm addicted to watching because they make me so happy.
larry king: the best interruptor in tv
shreder89 it must be old age.... old people tend to love doing that and just ramble on and on lol
heyjeySigma Was
R u being sarcastic?
You should listen to Charlie Rose sometime--he's just as bad...or worse!
True!
"She also has a sense of bank account" Lol ouch.
She will ask for more after that show🤣🤣🤣
Which is why I wouldn't marry if I had a lot of money!
Ms. Molly also, joies that only mariage can bring... into your face...
@@EnchantmentHippie you can ger married with an special marriage contract
@Noreen S it is what it is🤷🏾♀️ we cant change that fact
Russell is a great comedian. I love his accents and how he takes shots at different ethnicities. RIP Larry King.
Still my favorite comic and I had the pleasure to see him in a live event in the NJ area back in 2008, he picked on us because we were sitting right in front, it was an awesome experience. I wish someone had taped that show I would love to see it again.
Like Julio Eglesias. He sold more records than any singer in the world for years. But nobody knew him in the USA . Til he made a duet single ..I have seen and liked Russell for years. And I live in the USA.
the part where he says " somebody gonna get hurt" is hilarious! he sounds exactly like my indian neighbor!
Hahahahahaha
Great interview! Peters is very underrated. Great comedic mind. Larry was sharp to the very end.
RIP
you are awesome Larry,U r truly the king of interviews
Russell is a brilliant guy. I've followed him since 2010 or so. And this conversation with King is cool. And yes, there is no freedom of speech. Whatever you say right now, you pay for it.
This guy has tons of personality, an over all cool dude!
Such a smart and sensible guy. This guy is a legend.
When Larry says “you’ve got a knack for it” talking about him acting in a movie, Russell getting flustered is the best.
You know he looks back at that moment every once in a while.
He is so natural. It’s refreshing to see someone like Russell in this fake times
RIP Larry, we miss you. Fantastic interview Russell, loved every bit of it!!
The dude is worth $55 million bucks so I'd say he's done quite well for himself regardless of whether he's captured the American market or not. He is hilarious period.
the things russel peters say always makes sense to me, his shows/interviews are never boring.
It's timeless-- I can watch it over & over again!!
Who’s watching in 2019?
Mee too! :-)
I met him last night in LA and he was the coolest!!! Down to earth and engaging.
Watching and laughing. Larry has great taste in stand up comics: Russell, Conan, Seth MacFarlane, Bill Maher, Craig Ferguson, Brad Garrett.
love Russell. great interview.
Interview? More like interrogation! :)
Larry didn't even bother finding out where Russell is from, where he was born or lived. Sounded very off-handed.
@@bobinpune umm... he literally asked where he was born... and then all you mentioned was discussed... did you even watch the video?
@@javiermaximus1454 And what did you find in her account? 😂😂 Nothing, right?! Try somebody else’s account now 🤪
Fun stuff. Love RP. John Pinette also. I was fortunate enough to see his act live a few times before his passing.
Humble canadian roots, thats the best way to put it.
LOVE & RESPECT for both LARRY & RUSSELL :-) .... One of the most smoothest and kindest TV Presenters!
He owes his career to RUclips like many non-youtubers do! It's weird to see them taking tons of videos down!
what an honest interview. l. king our great teacher. R. Peters bravo for your honesty. wish you guys all the best!
Respectfully, Why would you call him Indian Comedian? He's a proud Canadian with Indian Heritage.
You pakistani by any chance?
He's of Indian/English heritage and Canadian by nationality.
Perhaps because, and I'm not sure as I know Indians in Canada love him and all Canadians love him and his comedy mostly, but perhaps because he has a huge Indian following so they acknowledge that fact. Yeah I do agree he is Canadian of Indian heritage. It is weird that at a certain level when an entertainer they don't separate people that way, but when they hit a certain level of fame they punch whatever card suits them. Not necessarily the Comics or entertainers themselves but the media all the sudden adds that "Indian", "Chinese", etc... label. His comedy crosses all races regardless, I look at him the same way I look at the tragically hip, they are ours first.
Did you mean "Are you dumb?". I wouldn't throw stones with you spouting gems like that instigating a trolled reaction.
bcoz we love to take undue credit :P
I bet this is one of the best interviews that King has ever done. what a great guest.
He is the funniest guy ever in this universe, his presence of mind is unbeatable
Worked with Russell a couple of times. Super great guy.
Russell Peters is a genius, I wish Hollywood would get with him!
This is so true what said about people recording instead of being in the moment.
2019 October 😂
Salute this guy 🔥
This man is freakin hilarious.
Oh yeah
But talking about Roseanne Barr
She lost it

What a genuine and interview from such a popular guy!👍
My husband and I love Russell Peters.🇺🇸
RIP Larry..you will be missed.
Russel Peters is frikin hilarious, great interview
Superbly talented gentleman.. good luck to him.. thanks for sharing...
Great humble guy. An inspiration for many including me.
Larry King, the best interviewer, interviewing the best comedian. Great show!
Russell Peters sign language joke is were I got my name from, lol people call me a racist for it then I send them over to Russell Peters joke and they laugh every time
I'm African-American and I live for Russell, he is hilarious
Its true, people are recording but those recordings uploaded on RUclips got him more recognized. And we all are thankful for it cause he REALLY is hilarious!!!
Russell Peters know how to observe and capture different stereotypes and craft short stories out of it, in contrast to those comedians that insult their objects as well as the intelligence of their audiences.
Love Russell Peters! Great guy and a great entertainer.
Great Interviews + Reports
Great questions Larry! Thanks for sharing
Russell needs to be more popular ..
Larry King gives you an entire interview. Jimmy Kimmel gives 1m30s in 10 clips. :P
LOL :D
Dil deke Dekho.
Jimmy Kimmel sucks
Think about it, being honest and being able to tell the truth, is the essential quality for a Comedian.
Beautiful! Love you Russle
Wow this is the first time I've seen Russel not cracking jokes from start to finish!

Who else's watching this in 2018
hey me. can u please help me. At minute 19.49 larry says that laughter is __________. what is that he is saying?
susan xD me
Sundeep , Larry says , "Laughter is an aphrodisiac."
Because of Larry's age he's saying that it makes you feel good. It's anything that helps your libido / sex drive.
me！
What are you watching, susan?
I’m from America and I love this guy
He is my favorite comedian!!!
You are awesome Russell- much love!!!:))
Even Larry king is all smiles in this one.
Does anyone speak Punjabi to verify how authentic he sounds? I love how humble and articulate Russell is.
I'm From Uzbekistan and Russell is the best !!!
Political correctness has got to go. People are too sensitive these days. (spit)
I agree but please dont spit hahahaha
But the Truth will always be the the HOLY TRUTH...... u can spit now jerry
I value intention over correctness
Jerry Jazzbo but not to far away, like in spit range distance...
finally, I see the gentleman side of Peter. I think he gave more respect to Larry then to his own father
Awesome show
Love this guy
Russel is all Canadian. I love him and his work. As for Larry, you sound like you had an interview yesterday at (the late) CNN.
am indian, but u people make me laugh with ur comments more than russell peters stand up comedy, doesnt matter if he is indian or canadian who cares and you guyz claim he is from your country becoz he is successful what if he is not lol
stop spreading hatred and start loving being a human (world is a family)
LMAO I Agree
yeah
+Julius Cactus However your skipping a lot of history, I understand that you want equality in offending people, however we are not at that stage, it was less than three decades when racism was widespread, it takes times to heal personal traumas, even if that may sometimes go against one's gain
+Rinfinity conciouness Yawn...Most of the people listening were not even old enough to actually experience any of the crap you mention - yet they adopt an attitude as they feel obligated to ACT like they did. The fact is that just about EVERY group at some point experienced discrimination - yet only a few make it a profession to carry it around decades and/or generations after it occurred. Get over it.
