- Jim Carrey's career is a fascinating journey marked by versatility, comedic genius, and profound dramatic performances. Born on January 17, 1962, in Ontario, Canada, Carrey began his career as a stand-up comedian in Toronto before venturing into television. His big break came in 1990 with the sketch comedy show "In Living Colour," where his impressions and comedic timing garnered widespread acclaim.
Carrey's transition to film was seamless, with breakout roles in "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective" (1994), "The Mask" (1994), and "Dumb and Dumber" (1994), solidifying his status as a comedic powerhouse. His physicality, rubbery facial expressions, and uncanny ability to inhabit absurd characters captivated audiences worldwide. Carrey's box office success continued with hits like "Liar Liar" (1997), "The Truman Show" (1998), and "Man on the Moon" (1999).
However, it was his portrayal of Andy Kaufman in "Man on the Moon" that showcased Carrey's dramatic depth and commitment to his craft. He immersed himself so completely in the role that he earned critical acclaim, including a Golden Globe for Best Actor.
Throughout his career, Carrey's influence on artists and art lovers has been profound. His fearless approach to comedy, willingness to push boundaries, and dedication to his characters have inspired countless comedians and actors. Carrey's impact extends beyond entertainment; he's also an accomplished painter, using art as a form of expression and therapy.
Beyond his artistic endeavors, Carrey's outspokenness on social and political issues has resonated with many. His candidness about his struggles with depression and the importance of self-discovery and authenticity have touched the lives of fans worldwide, inspiring conversations about mental health and personal growth.

the control of his facial muscles is insane
In the comedy circuit in LA, he was referred to as "Rubber Face"
Finally someone else is as hard as I am
you should see what he does with his ass lmfao
That Clint Eastwood face impression was frighteningly good!
Pretty amazing
What about James Dean? Looked like AI.
Yeah, James Dean was perfect!
I love the scene in 'Bruce Almighty' when Jim did his Clint impression, again. 😭🤣😂🙂
@@DonWinslow-cn7zx Yes, that was a full-blown version of Eastwood.
The hours, weeks, months, and years of preparation for a nine minute sketch. It’s takes real guts to do that. My total respect goes out to him. Hope he finds peace in his older years.
I agree He is is quite the master of facial disguises I use to watch him on living color He was hilarious😄
I just wonder what he is up to or what he is even thinking now?! He went from being very vocal about life, then when Elon brought Twitter & he shut down his account and disappeared! That's no way to go about things. I wish him well regardless.
Well he's got the right to believe what he wants I still admire Neil Young though I don't agree with his taking all his music off Spotify not do I agree with his political philosophies Doesn't mean I don't love Rocking in the freeworld
@@Phredbo yes, sir. That is fair.
I always try to make that a distinction and admire people from a safe distance because... everybody is different. We must respect that.
@@exclamationpointman3852 Ever see his artwork? He's a pretty damned talented artist.
His stint on 'In Living Color' was fabulous. Incredible talent.
My buddy was the soundman on In Living Color and I can remember him telling me about this guy who "was from deep left field". Fireman Bill is still one of the funniest characters in television history.

stint? lol Jim Carrey was an original on there for a long time. hardly a stint.
Geez that quick transformation to Clint Eastwood was incredible. Went from Jim Carrey to Clint Eastwood in .08 seconds.
Jim was something else and we will never have another in our lifetime. When Ace ventura came out, it was like nothing weve seen before in comedy.
I was 18 years old and in college went with a new girlfriend to see Ace Ventura and we sat in the front row and laughed until we cried.He took the comedians of the 50s and 60s and 70s to a whole Nother level
Jim stayed the same and the world was impressed. 💎 Genuine genius. 💎
The audience was in for a real treat that night!
His Muppets was spot on
Jim Carry can do so many things with his face and body and he mixes it with realism and animation. As we discovered later, his talent was unmeasurable.
Was? He's not dead.
Carrey.
For many fans of comedy Jim is at the top of the list.
In Loving Color is what made him famous, he really stepped into stardom on that show.
Haha, I remember seeing him that evening with my wife. We laughed and laughed. She said, “I know we’re going to see this guy again!” Boy, was she ever right about that.😊
I saw Man on the Moon in a theatre in San Francisco with my dad when the film came out. Several times I was the only one in the theatre laughing. It was a bizarre experience. The biggest one of those lone-laughing times was during the scene where Kaufman (played by Carrey) comes onstage to do stand-up at a university and the students chant "Latka! Latka! Latka!" Understandably pissed, Kaufman sits down, pulls out a copy of The Great Gatsby, and reads the entire book. When he finishes, the school auditorium is empty except for a few sleeping students and one surf dude (obviously not a student) who applauds and says, "That was great, dude!" I couldn't stop laughing at the irony of it. My dad, who hated the film from start to finish, was getting pissed, so I went into the aisle. I sat there laughing and clapping while the rest of the theatre audience was silent. I've never had an experience like that in a movie theatre before or after.
His impression of Elvis on here reminded me of Kaufman, but to be honest Kaufman did it better. Jim played Kaufman really well in that movie I laughed and cried too it was probably his best role
There is a story I have heard how he got that role. He invited director and producers to his house for audition. In his home theater he played the video. Everybody were like ok that's the video of Andy Kaufman what's the point? He explained that thats him as Andy Kaufman...
Yep. That kid's got a future in show business.
I loved him in IN LIVING COLOR 😂
Why are there people who don't like him, I think he's great
Jim was a God in the 90's
I think everybody laughed at Jim at one time or another.
Wow I'm amazed at the negativity in these comments. Art and talent has many many forms, and obviously some aren't your style. It's nice if you're able to recognize effort and talent even if you don't like the result. But if you're not, just walk away and go about your day. Having to explicitly express your negativity and spite is really unnecessary.
This dude obviously was acting with passion, and he's good at his style. He deserved his break if you ask me.
I don't know half the people he's talking about but still find these impressions hilarious!
Some i don't know the names of but i could certainly tell the faces. He is incredible with his impressions.!
His birth year is the same as mine, and I'm recognizing all the characters, many being of his/mine parents' era, but are who we would have frequently seen on television.. back in the day..
I'm just listening to that song at the end and wasn't looking at him: mad respect to his vocal transformation. We always think of his physical performance, but that is a real vocal performance.
Man, just to get out there and make a fool of yourself is half, maybe 99% of your success! What a crazy talent! Jim Carrey took us on a wild ride!!!
Amazing. I was never a big fan of Jim Carrey, but I admire his talent, and he seems like a great guy too.
I remember seeing his first show and knew he was going for stardom
OMG! When did Johnny ever give anyone that much time? That was a long time.
Everything between Elvis and Kermit was genius.
Johnny did not call him over 😢
neat watching this 1/3 century later. the audience must have been like who is this bizarre creature, but after a few minutes it dawns on you he's interesting, wholesome, talented, and definitely fresh
What's most amazing about him is that he got a lot better at these over time.
If you'd ever seen him in Toronto before he headed off for America you would know this wasn't even his best stuff. This was his safe stuff. He was so off the wall in his early days in Toronto my sides would be sore from laughing so hard. He did a special here in Canada. I forget if it was on CBC or Global TV in Toronto. But if you can find it I will guarantee you will laugh your head off. An absolute genius. One of a kind.
A star is born! This is the kinda of act you see, and you know they're gonna be big.
People hating on a guy for his 1st appearance on TV? Comical! Jim Carrey was an awesome actor/comedian IMO.
Didn’t get invited to the couch by Johnny which was the ultimate sign of acceptance. I don’t think I Johnny knew what to think of him.
Probably out of time.Last act of night.
"the ultimate sign of acceptance"? Really? By whom, Johnny Carson?? Are you kidding??
Don't you know that Johnny Carson never showed any love for his wives, his children, his grandchildren, his colleagues or his friends? Don't you know that Johnny Carson never accepted his biracial granddaughter and that he even disowned her because of her ethnicity (allegedly)?
Don't you know he actively and publicly tried to destroy the reputation of American hero, DA Jim Garrison, despite his accomplishments, his integrity and his incredible courage?
Nobody needed Johnny Carson's acceptance! Johnny Carson was a horrible man, a dishonest husband, a terrible father and a disloyal friend. He was also an aggressive alcoholic who was incapable of showing any empathy. Johnny Carson was a miserable and hateful man who just happened to be a successful talkshow host. He wasn't the saint many people believe he was.
Just "STUPID" funny, love Jim Carrey!
When The Mask came out my mother commented "He really did need much makeup, did he?" meaning of course that his face was like a special effect all its own.
I never knew how much effort Jim put into his career. It makes sense why he would crash the way he did. He tried alot harder and was able to to do things I don't think anyone else in the business was able to do. Bravo Jim.
I loved him in The Mask.
Who didn't?
Wow …❤Two GOATS❤
❤Carson & Carey ❤
He’s the Best!
I was fortunate enough to win 2 tickets to his last Canadian performance in London Ontario. I took my mom and it was a wonderful night, he did impressions and physical gags but there was something about him that was special- you could tell. After his final bow i went to the stage and happened to catch him before he left. I wished him all the best in his move to the States. I didnt know him at all before that show, so its been really cool watching him as a performer through the years.
What year was that?
@dos3622 it would have been probably 1981-82. I was around 21 and had won the tickets by calling in to a radio show "first person to call in- Laughing!" Easy! Lol
I agree I couldn't believe he looked as good he did.
I remember watching this when it first aired on Johnny Carson many years ago on Thanksgiving Day 1983. It's just as impressive today...
What talent!
Physical humor is difficult 😂😂😂
I respect Jim Carrey very much. His over the top humor goes over fantastically well with many, and it might be correct to say most, people. He tends to lose me at his extreme and wackiest moments. I do enjoy his humor when he more toned-down, which he clearly displays in this early act. This guy kept all of us laughing through the 90's with his comedy and movies.
I felt as if I was watching the muppets. That's incredible talent.
He’s talented because he truly becomes the person for a moment. He makes you forget it’s Jim Carey but…none of this made me laugh. His films…made me laugh.
What a talent. I hope hes happy.
Lol
Good singer too!
He has perfect expressions good impersonations to!
He was amazing even that young.
he's good, but the best Elvis impression were done by Andy Kaufman
The fact that he was bombing at first and the crowd totally didn't get it....
It was like that scene in the Blues Brothers when they started out with zero response until they were on their feet. Astonishing!
I don't think it would have happened without Johnny's big endorsement in the beginning, though.
To the people hating on jim carrey I'd like to see you try to do what he's done you probably wouldn't last
Amazing man!! He was brilliant here!!!
Cameras and screens changed civilisation. .
Few saw it coming. Including myself. Didn’t get it. Good thing someone did.
Crazy good!
In my opinion…the funniest man to ever live
Thank you for the great content! 🇨🇦
Our standards for humor have drastically changed as evidenced by this performance and the audience reaction
This comedy is what I do everyday. Voices and inflections or impersonations. I’ve been told I need therapy for talking in other voices 🤦♂️😅
Great OG! Worth preserving.
Born to play the man on the moon
Gotta love jim!!!
I always loved your comedy. Freek .😂
He not only plays his character, He becomes his character. His ability to transform his physical and mental body is on supernatural levels. I wish one day to meet him. And to his critics, Name someone past or present who can come close?
Now I know why he did Man On The Moon. He was just like him.
I watched JC as a kiddo and I missed this one. I do ET everyday!!!
Such a captivating upload.
AWESOME
"and a little bit different", way to undersell it Johnny. >D
Crazy to think he went from this. To In Living Color, to The Grinch
He’s a master at this point
American Comedy ??? you can't beat it..
Tommy Lee Jones be damned. I LOVE WHAT YOU DO.
Makes me think of Frank Gorshin's interpretations.....He said, "Oh, no... I think I'm coming down with somebody."
What an incredible talent.
Thank You for posting this but why would you not give the date of this performance?
Apparently it was Thanksgiving Day 1983.
He was SO GOOD as BUDDY EBSEN, wasn't he ???
BRAVOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Super!
Congrats Mr jim

Incredible.
A Little Bit Different is definitely the title of Jim Carrey's autobiography
He'se a Canadian treasure!
So when was this aired?
Acting requires a lot of control over facial expression, but this really is pretty unreal. His voices were also incredible. The Kermit and Miss Piggy song was impressive lol. Jim Carey is extremely talented. This was cool to see.
If you listen Jim Carrey is actually a hell of a singer!
.. I remember the Duck Factory .. Funny Stuff
I think he's gonna be great.
This genius guy tried and work hard for achieving all his dreams and so he did. Now he can say things like ; I hope everyone could become rich and famous and so he can learn that it doesn’t give happiness!
A life without spirituality will always finished by emptiness.
🔥 Fire Marshall Bill, let me show you something! 🤣
Genius.
He can sing too wow'
That was the equivalent to a thousand tik tok videos.
No one has matched Johnny yet!
Nr.1🤟
This is what I like about him
The best😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🍁🍂
A generational talent, its easy to see how quickly he rose to A-list popularity. Which also explains/excuses much of his later ego problems and criticisms. He 'went Hollywood' and never fully recovered.
