I randomly came across his shows on Netflix, he's not messing around, man has jokes and is a good story teller
Check him out in the tv show Ramy. Every scene he's in cracks me tf up. His delivery is sooo funny
He actually is messing around tho.
My friend just told me about his show on Netflix.. said it was real funny
@@timcray6798 and tim, do you agree its really funny
Free Palestine ❤️🤍💚🖤
❤️🇰🇼🇵🇸❤️
Soon inschallah jihad again zionisten.
يا زلمي ما أجملك ،بس ولو 🦋
yes
🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
I'm truly happy for this guy's success. Seems like a very humble person who has obviously worked hard to get where he is. And he is very funny!!!
He was fasting, so that’s probably why he wasn’t as witty as usual.
the wife and i binged the 1st season last night and as Houstonians , MO did an amazing job representing our city's spirit
I loved him in the show Ramy. This interview made me smile, he represented himself and his religion and culture very well.
YES! He steals every scene that he's in. The dude is hilarious
Ramy is a co creator for his new show Mo on netflix.
My respect to jimmy just skyyy rocketed due to the way he respectfully on the way he asked about Islamic info even tho he doesn’t have much idea of it. ❤️
That was really nice. I like Jimmy more now. It's important to make everyone feel included.
@@-------------------DD lmfao you like him more for what he said? What you liked him less before he said what he said?
@@southside3119 Are you a psychologist?
@@snowygalaxy oh yeah, wow! Like Texans and Mormons! I get it!!
@@snowygalaxy what have we done to you? Don’t lie
I gave his first special a try last year and he is hilarious. His Spanish is also truly perfection. Glad Jimmy had him on.
Yeah his Spanish is so good it caught Guillermo offguard. I wanna know about this Ramadan thing. They only fast for one day is that correct?
@@HH-gv8mx it is a month in the Islamic calendar, fasting from sun up to sun down ( no food, no drink and not sex)
@@NYS911 not sex for the whole month?
@@sharygalloway9777 only during the day man. Easy if you got a job.
@@HH-gv8mx
Fasting (Sawm) is one of the 5 pillars in islam.
29 or 30 days, depends on the moon sight. You can eat, drink water, have sex after sunset till suhoor. Suhoor is when you start fasting, roughly 1,5 hours before fajr prayer. Day time all of these are restricted😊
Ramadan is the month of fasting, lots of prayers, sincere supplictions and celebration of Allah’s mercy. Also ramadan is about guarding the tong, controlling the emotions, being positive, reading the Qur’an, fixing the relationships, becoming a better person.
This is the first time I've heard of Mo Amer, but I'm definitely gonna check out Mo when it drops
Check him out in Ramy. He steals every scene that he's in. Naturally funny guy the way he delivers his lines
i’m actually happy this is the first time Kuwait is mentioned as KUWAIT not “gulf war” not “Arabia” just KUWAIT ♥️🇰🇼 one of the smallest but richest countries in the Arabian peninsula where many Palestinians along with other arab and asian and south Asian expats live and work. and oil is the not only work field here, Mo def knows nothing of the country but that’s okay we still love him 😭
🇮🇶 ❤️ 🇰🇼. They should dub some Kuwaiti drama shows in the US.
Oil engineers and Baristas.
But I've heard Kuwait a lot.
Its true .. he doesn’t know much about Kuwait. If he did he’d know why we deported 400k Palestinians in 1991
Kuwait is an awesome country with great shopping malls! ♥️
What a delightful human, i couldn't stop smiling.
As a Somali Muslim refugee who came to Canada via U. S. as a 16-year-old teen in 1996, I can relate to him a bit.
I saw you in the Indian Ocean, you are a pirate and you drink Rum
Hey. Fellow east african here.
So ppl've been fleeing to canada via US since the 90s,wonder when Canada will catch on.
@@mgp1635 Yes, may God have mercy on her soul my late Canadian sister who insisted I move to Canada to be with her family in 1996. I am so glad I did.
Somali women are most beautiful girls in the world!
How long does Ramadan last? And do you just fast part of one day? You can only eat or drink after the sun goes down?
I just watched Mo's stand up special last night - and it was hilarious. I am so glad I watched. So, so funny.
Got to work on set for his new show. Nicest guy. Spoke with everyone. Wonderful crew as well
So happy to see Mo getting more and more famous because he is OH SO FUNNY
Stumbled on him on TH-cam, my God I was in stitches!
It goes to show, no matter your ethnic background, what language you speak, laughter is universally enjoyed and universally understood...
Mo Amer is hilarious! Happy for your success! Looking forward to your new show Mo!
I am so happy for you Mo!! I started watching your clips a longtime ago and I know you worked really hard for this!! Congratulations 👏
*Mo is a funny comedian, his stories about acting like Mexican are funny af*
And sad too. Imagine how many arabs and muslims had to pretend they’re not just bc of this American play!!!!! So sad
@@Cloudnine422 Pakistani Muslims pretend to be Indians.
Also love how jimmy respectfully mentions the holy month of ramadhan and asks about the fasting and tries to understand
Mo Amer is hilarious and a great dude.
As a Somali-Muslim I can see hes bit nervous because of the racial prejudice hot seat put on middle- easterns and Arabs. Hope he succeeds in life.
He already has
You claim to be a Somali-Muslim
Prove it
@@Unaveragemoe hooyatha wass
@@Surfboard144 well done mate you do have a mother right?
Same:( that’s sad
Never heard of him but he’s funny, very likable, quick witted & intelligent.
It’s excellent to see immediate refugees succeeding in the pursuit of their dreams.
It is interesting where refugees end up: a cluster from Kuwait to Huston, TX, another from Vietnam to Alaska, and others from the Philippines, American Samoa & Tonga to Hawai’i
Yes, lots of Middle Easterners went to Houston from Kuwait. That's so true.
And he’s actually Palestinian his family were refugees they fleed to kuwait after the israeli occupation of Palestine and then from kuwait to the US!
I've never heard of Mo Amer but I'm definitely going to check him out on Netflix!
i love this guy
For those who may be curious, if you eat or drink by mistake / forgetfulness while fasting, your fast DOESNT break! In fact you consider it as a gift from Allah and complete your fast till sundown. But if you do it on purpose, your fast obviously breaks and you will have to make up for it later on.
If someone is sick, travelling, pregnant, menstruating, or have another valid excuse they are excused from fasting and keep compensatory fasts later on. Those who cannot due to health conditions etc pay a certain compensatory charity instead!
Do search up anything else youre curious about! Salam!
Seems like a decent guy.. funny too! Thanks Jimmy for intruding us to him🍻
I love this guy. He has an incredible story and is so talented! Go Mo!
I myself just discovered him in my feed of videos. I am so surprised to have never heard of him before. Seems so well polished and comfortable on stage. Usually you don't see that level of total control and comfort on stage until you have made it big. I would be interested to see if and how he handles and crowd work. His presence seems to not need that at all to further the direction of his sets. i am curious though.
@@solisdruid8442 please watch his Netflix Specials.
@@susanb1997 hook me up with that log in info.
Amazing story
This is a beautiful interview, I love the diversity and getting to know more poc in the comedy world🙌🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽 kudos y'all, he's hilarious!!🏆🏆👏🏽👏🏽
Small detail on the Liberian flag: the man knew his product line. A very good employee I would love to employ.
Wow - Mo has such a great smile! He really lights up!
Dude paid $800 for like $7 of material. 😅😅😅 God bless mop handles.
Congratulations to Jimmy for being such a lovable human being . Having a Muslim guest and allowing him to promote his new show was very kind of him . Maybe there is hope after all.
MO is so funny talent comedian my wife and I have watched his special on Netflix at least four times
Real comedie legende
And Houston loves you Mo...🤘🚂⚾🤘...
This guy is awesome.
Mr. Amer is a very funny guy. I saw one of his Netflix shows about an hour ago. He's super talented, as I enjoyed it. :)
Mo Amer is a funny dude! There are quite some videos on TH-cam that will make you LOL!
Lesss go , a talented person on jimmy Kimmel getting the recognition he deserves. Truly representing the middle eastern community. Making us proud fr.🇮🇶🇦🇪🇵🇸🇪🇭🇸🇾🇯🇴🇱🇧

My 3 favorites in this clip. Jimmy, Moe, Houston
Proud of you! Way to go.
My country as a title wow never thought id have this honor
Yeahh I was waiting for him to $hit on us but he didn’t😂 .. Great dude
Jimmy Kimmel mo amer on Kuwait awesomeness job interview
PALESTINIAN REPRESENTATION 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
This guy told Mitt Romney to f*** off during his presidential campaign. He's good in my book.
Nope, Mitt is decent
@@marliesyanke4580 can't believe I'm saying this but considering what the republican party has become today, yes, I agree Mitt is decent
One of my favorite comedians right now!! Such a funny dude!
He is a great comedian. Can't wait for hos Netflix show
Speaking of Kuwait 🇰🇼 I’m going to Kuwait next Saturday and I’m so excited I haven’t been to Kuwait for 4yrs.
just don't be shocked by the amount of plastic surgery on the ladies. also get me some of the Arabian perfumes
At least they are better looking than most of the west 😂, and I am a Canadian - Arab 😂😂😂go sleep bruv
@@SoLiTaRyBoNe ???????????
@@Lulu-ty9vk وش اسوي فيهم هالاستفهامات
@@SoLiTaRyBoNe I am Egyptian and I lived in Saudi Arabia for 14 years and I was shocked.. In Saudi Arabia, Saudi celebrities choose girls from the comments to win a free plastic surgery 😂! I was shocked
Oh! He just mentioned Liberia! 🇱🇷 😂😂😂
From one Houstonian to another, I thank you.
I saw this guy at the Irvine Comedy Club a few years ago. He's hilarious.
This guy is funny and I’m looking forward to watching his shows ♥️♥️♥️
“You gotta learn multiple languages after 9-11” this wasn’t just a joke but the sad reality! And that incident with the texan ra***t at the store is sickening 😑 how all muslims became potential suspects not only in the US but also in European countries too after this American systematic play to invade afghanistan and raise the ha-te towards islam! That was truly dark era
Mate, Islam invites everyone to hate it with strict intolerance.
@@mental9453 who told you that?
so glad i got a chance to see him live in comedy cellar, nyc 😍😍🤩🤩 the funniest! best time ever
i saw the MO series on netflix and this video pops up lol .. MO is amazing love his comedy and love his spirits as well !!
Mo you legend! Congrats!
Jimmy, I'll be watching your show as of today. Great Guest and great questions. Keep it up.

So nice to see some diversity on tv! This is the first arab comedian I've seen on a major network show hope he comes back again
Love him he’s so funny
One of my favorites he’s dope!!! His series on Netflix I binged couldn’t turn it off lol
I love this guy ❤️
Jimmy is a good person .. simple as that.
First time i saw him, he was opening for Chapelle at a show in Amsterdam, he KILLED it !
This dude is freaking hilarious! 🙌🏾😂👊🏽
Good for you Mo Amer
Fasting is the 4th pillar of Islam, although If you're fasting and forgot that during the day and you mistakenly ate or drank. whenever you remember just stop eating and complete your fasting without any decrease in your deeds.
Islam is really the religion of peace and forgiveness.
I watched his show a long time ago and I have rewatched it like 10 times!! Dude is super funny, no dirty jokes loved him!
More shows and movies definitely need to be made in Houston Texas!!!
So proud of you MO ❤️🇵🇸
One of the best comedians nowadays
So funny and real. 🥰🥰❤
I really loved his Netflix show MO! It was great!
Love this guy
I love him!
love this
Very few master smart comedy - jokes that truly have good punches will be tuning- Good interview as well
If I could like this video ultimated times man, I was in stitches😂😂😂😭😭😭😭
Mo is awesome 👍🏾
0:15 I thought he was gonna "Another One🔥💯"
*Dj Khaled's Voice*
his role in ramy series was great
Great guess Jimmy 👍🏼 love the diversity and respect 🙏🏼
Love this guy. He’s hilarious.
I am definitely watching his show on NF!
3:18 If you truly forgot that you are fasting, it is a gift from God. But once you remember you are fasting, you spit the water out and don't swallow.
That's the answer to Jimmy's question.
If you continue to drink on purpose, you broke your fast. You have to repeat that day and 60 extra days continuously. And pay a penalty to the poor.
Representing HTown! I love Mo!
he's really funny and talented
Good interview
Brother smashed it with the hustling, well done bro👊
I love this comedian
Just watched his series “Mo” on Netflix and I really enjoyed it, can’t wait for another season.
Hope we get a season 2!!!!
I wish he would’ve talked about his palestinian background more.
The show Mo was ridiculously good as well
He is humble and well educated man .good for his parents
Great! Moshow. Mo, Keep it up, bro..
Hahaha I love this guy
Funny smart guy , must see his show
The show Ramy is probably the greatest show on Hulu by far definitely would recommend Americans trying to learn about the daily and life struggles of Muslims in the West and around the globe much love to Mo for all his accomplishments🐐💯
Loved his Show
