+Vivica Gene I saw 'Latin History for Morons' just last night, John has massive energy with a passion, and I learnt quite a lot. The red chalk triangle is where the power is.
I have followed John L. for so many years and watched so many of his shows and movies, and until this day I am still profoundly impressed on how much energy and love he puts into his work. Well earned John, You deserve it.
I love John Leguizamo. He is also the best at what he does. Best ever, throughout American history. No one else has taken the one man show to such heights, has used the medium so effectively not only to entertain but to educate, to engage, to enlighten, to make the invisible visible. He's so talented & hard-working, so kind & decent. Like I said: I love John Leguizamo. Long may he reign!!!!
So glad he got this award! I was born in Russia and currently live in US. So I knew nothing really about Latin history before I heard his interview on NPR and then went to see his show on a Broadway! What a talent, radiating with intelligence and a killer scence of humor! Bravo, John Leguizamo!
I can’t even make a funny comment about me crying Bc wow I just felt him talking to me. And I know what he feels, so deep in my soul and to see someone with ideas and the will to create ti change the game in Broadway just gives me all the hope in the world and just seeing someone that look like me making it up there, no words can describe the relief and pride, and hope I have
You are a true hero for our people John. I cannot thank you enough for making this show and always baring your truth which is also ours. God blessed us Brown people with you. Siempre para delante.
Hell yes! Thank you John!! Why isn't this being reported all over social media?! John is one of the few latinx artists to be recognized for his work (finally) and has deserved recognition for so long!
In the best of ways John you remind me of Charlie Chaplin not just with comedy but how much of a humanitarian you've become for US Latinos. This means a lot to me as a fan of your work and dedication you put to speak for those who either can't or don't have the strength to. Thank you so much for not forgetting about Puerto Rico and Thank you for doing what you love from the heart. John Leguizamo ,YOU DESERVE IT! ❤❤❤
When, I grow up, I wanna be a comedian just like John. At 62 years old, I still practice and practice but can never fill his shoes, because, John is the best and I love him for his accomplishments. I never get tired of watching him. LOVE YOU JOHN❤
Breath taking speech was delightful and truly and spotlighted sordid truth about the under representation of Puertoricans in TV in movies and in mainstream corporate media and the 4,700 Puertican people that died because of Americas anemic response coupled with the turning away of ships the US blocking ships coming on a humanitarian mission to help Puertorico after the catastrophic carnage and destruction left in the wake by this sinister , artificially enhanced , hurricane Maria.
Christopher Sansone If I were a witch I would fly through the air over to Puertorico on my broomstick and and as soon as I arrive , start bashing all the crooks over the head with my broomstick ! Lock up. The crooks and con men and politicians that have made tons of cash exploiting Puertoricos tragedy .
Congratulations on your award mr. Leguizamo and during your play thank you for touching into the contributions that Latinos made in the military.... but one person who is no longer with us is always been overlooked...guy gabaldon served in the South Pacific World War II because his ability to speak Japanese he helped capture hundreds and maybe a thousand prisoners a movie was made about him( he'll to Eternity) the actor that played him was he white actor at no point at the beginning of the movie or at the end did they say ihe was Mexican American.... from East Los Angeles California God Rest his soul.....sp4 Republic of Vietnam 1970 1971 Saigon....
My first and favorite comedian show that he did was soooo funny. With out swearing on a cable channel. I never could find it again. Back at about 2003 or 4. All about being in his neighborhood. Growing up and it's challenges. Also his dad too. I watched it over and over again in a short powerhouse. Looked to buy it or watch again. Never found it. Put it online people.
I watched his Broadway show and had me thinking and interested cause we never was taught about are history there was things about Columbus I had no idea about ...I started reading the book 1491 he really opened my eyes we are more then what they say about us we are strong and be proud Latino people
WHY ARE THERE SO MANY TROLLS ON HERE LIKE DO THEY GET SPECIAL ALERTS DOR WHEN SOMEONE COMMENTS SMTH ON ANYTHING THAT CAN BECOME SLIGHTLY CONTROVERSIAL ITS HILARIOUS
They apparently wait to pounce on opportunities to reinforce their own anger and prejudices. It’s easy to congratulate themselves for being brave and clever when only communicating on a keyboard.
List of Best John Leguizamo movies i saw Ice Age (2002) Ice Age The Meltdown (2006) Ice Age Dawn of the Dinosaurs (2009) Ice Age Continental Drift (2012) Ice Age Collision Course (2016) And Encanto (2021)
Leguizamo your are my Che Guevara of today man, te apoyo con el rifle de mi corazon vato te adopoto como mi hermano, como mi compatriota de el ser humano, te admiro y repaldo al cien porciento eres CHINGON VATO
I need to teach my kids, daily, that they are not second class citizens as they are taught in school; they are called Mexican, Hispanic, Latino's and based first on how dark their skins are, they are American and American does not mean white. My kids are very light to very dark skinned, and EVERYONE (white, black, brown, teachers, students etc.) try to tell them who they are based on their skin color. Cristobal Colon aka Christopher Columbus, did not speak English and did not land on Plymouth Rock, he spoke Spanish and Italian, a form of "romantic" LATIN. Latin, Latino, Latina was already in a Spanish dictionary in 1789 (Diccionario de la lengua española). In United States the Census Bureau defined Latino/a in 1970 to herd people into groups to better control them. You cannot create a new definition and not expect to have confused masses, their neurons get crossed as Leguizamo's was and went to counseling for it. Imagine other Latin words in everyday English then changing the definitions, it would change everything we know..... A citizen is an person in a country where you are documented as a citizen........... American is American.... Divide and Conquer is a true strategy used even today on the every day person, "they" tell you who you are and it tears society apart from the inside. The new definition of "Latino" is not correct and should not be used as it is, but those calling themselves that need to understand that they ARE those "White People", along with being Native American Indian and African (depending on the individual), "Latinos" ARE, what they consider others, as the good and the bad in history.. If they knew the correct historical facts they would know the strength in their bloodlines and use the actual, hundreds of years old definition and not the newer incorrect definition........ Not knowing this makes us all weaker....
Used to like you Jon but watching you and the crowd cheer for deniro really shows how out of touch all the entertainers are. Hope this booming economy under trump continues to grow. So someday I can retire with money in my 401k. Why? Because I don't make millions for reading a script.

@@Humannondancer Thanks! I gotta see it.
I saw it too w/my bf. It's a great special!
That's what Lin-Manuel Miranda has done as well, creating parts himself for the people who deserves them. Awesome guys, these two.
I have followed John L. for so many years and watched so many of his shows and movies, and until this day I am still profoundly impressed on how much energy and love he puts into his work. Well earned John, You deserve it.
I so love John Leguizamo. I'm very happy he's reaping the benefits of his hard work of many years.
John Leguizamo is the G.O.A.T.
He'll always be the sloth to me.
Such a genius. He has made the biggest difference in my life this year. Brilliant.
Why?
I love John Leguizamo. He is also the best at what he does. Best ever, throughout American history.

And to inspire!!

Want to see someone like you then watch Telemundo and shut up.
Jocelyn leyva I hope so as well😊😊
Save the drama for your mama.
Jocelyn leyva I wish you the best and I hope your Dreams never die, " Pa' lante" like we said in el BARRIO, God Bless you.

The last part had me crying I feel like people forgot our kids that are detained and many POC suffering
You are a true hero for our people John. I cannot thank you enough for making this show and always baring your truth which is also ours. God blessed us Brown people with you. Siempre para delante.
Bravo! Great diversity message, especially for Latin people! The ancestors are happy!
What are they doing for diversity in Puerto Rico?
Hell yes! Thank you John!! Why isn't this being reported all over social media?! John is one of the few latinx artists to be recognized for his work (finally) and has deserved recognition for so long!
In the best of ways John you remind me of Charlie Chaplin not just with comedy but how much of a humanitarian you've become for US Latinos.

Americans should be very upset about the deaths and lack of concern for the needs of Americans on that island.
When, I grow up, I wanna be a comedian just like John.
At 62 years old, I still practice and practice but can never fill his shoes, because, John is the best and I love him for his accomplishments. I never get tired of watching him.
LOVE YOU JOHN❤
I've been so disconnected from entertainment news, and I just found out about this. I'm very happy for John. Viva los latinos!
Had the honor to see him in the West Coast what a great young man🇺🇸🇲🇽....
🇨🇴
Thank you John 🇵🇷 stand up
Beautiful speech.
Thank you John!!! Proud Latina here!!!!
That was a gracious & beautiful acceptance speech ❤
Congratulations on your award well deserved

If the US was turning away ships on a humanitarian mission:
Where were the humanitarian ships coming from?
Ran Wow .Google it .It will show you where they came from .Okay ?
A Google search for "US turned away aid ships to puerto rico" turns up NOTHING
Did Haiti send the S.S. Clinton?
William Aponte why don't you go to Puerto Rico and help out? I am sure they still got a few brooms left.
Christopher Sansone If I were a witch I would fly through the air over to Puertorico on my broomstick and and as soon as I arrive , start bashing all the crooks over the head with my broomstick ! Lock up. The crooks and con men and politicians that have made tons of cash exploiting Puertoricos tragedy .
Man jon is one of the funniest guy I've seen n he's really talented as well
CUT OUT of the Hulu upload. Absolutely criminal to deprive later viewers of this emotional & powerful speech.
Love that you made it! ❤❤❤
Much love and respect !!!!!!
Mad props for this hard working honest and talented man
This guy is a legend! Awesome actor! Brilliant
This was so great! I'm so glad Netflix now has it - it was expensive to see live but it's a history worth telling.
Best I've ever heard

Fake horrible emotion at the end smh. What a pinko. Can’t respect him for his agenda pushing bs.
I've been loving JL since summer of Sam but this was uncomfortable. A few good points among a lot of muck.
more politics more poop!
This guy is way too hung up on race. Its a shame I used to love John back in the day.
Used to like you Jon but watching you and the crowd cheer for deniro really shows how out of touch all the entertainers are. Hope this booming economy under trump continues to grow. So someday I can retire with money in my 401k. Why? Because I don't make millions for reading a script.
