FOR FUCK SAKE, why isn't Paul F.Tompkins a force in late night interviews? The man is subtle, classy and informative all at the same time and deserves to get 100% recognition for his work here.
So much this. I'd be all over that show. He has just enough of the typical, talk-show host posture but it doesn't come off as being fake and showy. He's not drawing attention to himself. He can banter very well but he has legitimately interesting questions, which elicit fascinating answers from the guests. It all works.
Liz Bradley I loved how talked about his loop machines. Because that's all the same stuff I want out of loop machine stuff. Just do the thing, and don't make it complicated.
***** I like the emphasis on - it's not the machine, it's the person. You can have all the fancy do-hickeys you want, but Reggie is just goddamned talented.
luv to see comics chat/interview with other comics. Always funny, never disappoints. I also luv tht I've never seen PFT in anything but a very dapper, gentlemanly suit! #GoodDay! #ClassicMan Btw, if Reggie ever cuts his hair, i'll take tht Turkey chili and shove it. . . whoa, sorry shit just got deep up in here. . .
Can't unsee: piece of paper that magically shows up in Paul's Jacket half way through the video..Reggie must have been too entranced by his eyes to even notice the damn thing.
And your reply is equally illuminating. I especially appreciate that you gave your comment context and elaboration on what was inaccurate so that a meaningful reply could be generated. Kudos to you, madam!
+Bunny Tsukino That's why it's cool that he mentioned the Russian composer. I didn't know about this fellow until Tompkins brought him up. Now that I've heard the name, I've added to my collected knowledge. Education and schools ain't synonymous.
I know the theme to the show is version of the song "Spooky-Classic IV/Dustyspringfield" but can't find the version speakeasy uses anywhere on the internets.
Dude, you hung out with Julien Priester and Wayne Horovitz? that is some crowd Reggie. Dude i am just discovering you so what do you play? I might sound a little short or disrespectful at times. I am not trying to be. I lost my leg 5 years ago and I happen to be a small number of people who go on to develop constant, severe and chronic pain which is notoriously difficult to treat. I am a drummer , a jazz drummer and also a left below knee amputee and can actually work the hats pretty good. I saw different shows of yours and it was weird because I was in severe pain one afternoon and quickly approaching a hyperalgesic state where taking a narcotic for pain makes the pain worse. And I saw your show and due I laughed so hard I fell out of my wheel chair and I was rol;ling on the floor with laughter. OMG. Dude the good Lord must have sent you to me cause when I get into that state of opioid induced hyperalgesia the only thing that works in medical marijuana, exercise or laughter. I cannot always afford to but medical or illegal marijuana, and sometimes hurt so bad I cannot start my exercises but everytime I put on my favorite comedy yours of which is a prime example and I watch and come to laugh I get free of the pain for a few hours which goes to prove that our own endorphins are way better than any man made drug.
+James J What on earth are you guys on about. I just described a manner in which I have found pain relief and I am posting to try to get other amputees attention. Maybe they need to laugh. In fact you need to laugh as you are a very angry person from your letter. I will pray for you man. thanks.
+carlos colon Thank you Carlos. I wonder why some people see things in the manner which makes them irritable or even quite angry. A lot of times if you examine the person there are quite often a bunch of issues that are not theirs. They adopt a narrative from others and that is often what various actors do when conflict arises.
+JohnFive Eagles Szuros No problem man. I think nowadays people just like to be angry. Gives them some sort of goal or something i guess. Makes them feel self-righteous and powerful.
+carlos colon Even if we are angry the way you and I worked it out is a good way to get beyond the bs. thanks man. I hope others can look at this and say hey what are we arguing about?
I would've guessed that Reggie was more influenced by MoTown. His falsettos and harmonies are straight 60s black pop music. Depeche Mode never did the brilliant, on point harmonies that Reggie pulls off. Where did he learn that? Maybe he's born with it....
+C. P. Rectem Have no idea if this is true for Mr. Watts or not, but the only other time I've seen the long pinky nails thing before was by people who used these nails for easy, convenient access to bumps of cocaine out of teeny tiny baggies.

The Fat Turtle This is his forte. I'm surprised he hasn't been scooped up by a network yet. Or, screw tv. What about a Netflix series of just this?
Too smart and too free to be a puppet.
Let's not forget Reggie's gig every week singing the CBB podcast theme song.
Reggie is the only one allowed to look in paul's camera! hahaa yes!
onyx I couldnt believe it!
onyx loved it best open ever
onyx sweetest moment in the whole series.
It's because Reggie doesn't have a mean bone in his body.
Oh thank God. I was getting really worried we'd never get another one of these. Welcome back, Speakeasy!
Liz Bradley AND it was delightful!

Paul not only are you the best interviewer but you have the best guests. I am in awe at just how much I love this show.
WOW!! Been waiting for a new episode and to see one come out and its Reggie!?! Awesome!!!!
Paul F. Tompkins.....the Ron Burgundy of manly interviews
But only in the best of ways
Paul and Reggie I can watch you guys speak for hours. Love you both!☺☺
"Not vegetarian, it was turkey, not vegetarian at all...but the turkey was." ha!
I love that Reggie Watts introduced Paul f Thompkins to the concept of buttrock and then said he loves The Sundays and Ministry
The Sundays...never would have expected Reggie Watts to name them as an influence.
Reggie Watts is an amazing man! A musical genius of our time. Also stoked he had cameo on Pitch Perfect 2. :D
Just got back from Amsterdam central, now get to watch a new Reggie watts video :') perfect!!!
Yes! Gotta love Reggie. Would love to see his absurdist peer T.J. Miller on a future Speakeasy.
I absolutely love this show. Reggie Watts is the man!
i love the fadeout of fake conversation, it was akin to hearing music during the fadeout, like ahh that solo was still going/ haha
Dope, I like how he went in on his preferences when it came to sampling, pause
I wish I could meet Reggie! He seems like an intelligent, laid back dude-person.
Very astute observation, sir.
what's the name of that sampling app Reggie mentioned?
Best way to start an interview: That is correct.
I fuckin' love Reggie Watts! (and Paul)
It's so funny to hear someone reference "the app spsce" in modern times.
"In the cool of the evening, when everything is gettin' kinda groovy"
Can't wait to see Cliff Hanger next episode.

At the 8:14 mark, they are talking about the composer Dmitri Shostakovich, correct?
Very inaccurate sir

Insight upon insight flows forth from your proverbial mouth.
Huzzah! Please never stop this series!! #ButtRock
I honestly read it as "Reggie rocks fake tan" with that thumbnail pic
I know the theme to the show is version of the song "Spooky-Classic IV/Dustyspringfield" but can't find the version speakeasy uses anywhere on the internets.
These are great suits. I love suits. If you drop the tie, suits are like super comfy awake pajamas.
this show makes me want to drink
This guy is a god with making beats. Reggie x CuDi = best thing ever..
Cudi sucks ass now.. Have u heard his last 2 albums..
I can't understand that bullshit you just sent me..
Satellite flight was complete garbage
Indicud had like 2 decent tracks. Uk hes shit now.
izzy nica it's over bruh. Let it go. Why you decided to come back to this old ass comment, idk but it ain't that serious. Chill out..
Reggie!!!!! Woo!
DID ANYBODY ELSE KNOW REGGIE USED TO BE IN A BAND CALLED MAKTUB? WHY DID NOBODY TELL ME THIS?
+AwesomeBill FromDawsomeville wikipedia would've, if you asked it :-(
+Matt Brown funny response sir
Paul stolen Ron Burgundy's jacket!:-)
This is awesome!!!!
Reggie is love; Reggie is life.
Can anyone help? I can't find the Cliff Hanger episode anywhere!
Reggie Watts makes me laugh...uncontrollably!
proud to have a great hail from the majestic state of Washington
SOOOOOOOOOOO MY kind of Humor. EXACTLY my humor. AHHHH!!!! HAAAA!!!
I'm a huge fan of homeless Fredrick Douglas.
I kept hoping Reggie would pick up that keyboard!
OMG My husband and I love Reggie Watts! :)
I miss Speakeasy (the real one with PFT, not RP).
He likes Ministry. \m/
The OLD Ministry. The one that was actually good! *Everyday is Halloween*
Notice whose drink is lighter? Lol.....
Reggie rocks!
He looks like Ron Burgundy.
I can't believe how much I missed this show ._.
Dude, you hung out with Julien Priester and Wayne Horovitz? that is some crowd Reggie. Dude i am just discovering you so what do you play? I might sound a little short or disrespectful at times.

+James J i Give a shit. Don't speak for everyone. Makes you sound like a know-it-all

i love Elizabeth banks
i
The "secret elixir" is tincture.
his name is ryan...... ryan watts!
Lev 43 MASONAS? ILLIMINATI FONBIRM
I love Colbert, but it would be my dream if Letterman was replaced by Paul F. Tompkins, and Reggie was the new Shaffer.
Ron Burgundy?
This is a video!
Butt Rock. Hilarious.
So you see with all the nuclear proliferations happening everywhere in the world it's quite alarming, things change so quickly
Why does that guy look like Ron Burgundy?
that's 33rd level mason, pft. sheesh.
This guy is great, but good lord I cannot stand a minute of James Corden.
so weird to see reggie being "normal"
*lo-fi
(Irrelevant, but) I noticed Reggie has long pinky nails, and I've seen this on other people. Does anyone know why some guys do that? lol
+C. P. Rectem other than flamenco guitarists, i'd say just fashion choice maybe?
+C. P. Rectem Have no idea if this is true for Mr. Watts or not, but the only other time I've seen the long pinky nails thing before was by people who used these nails for easy, convenient access to bumps of cocaine out of teeny tiny baggies.
Sick coke nail, Reg.
Emily Davis It's a special K nail actually ;)
8:23
what is a level 43 mason? I am a master mason myself and last I heard we only work up to 32... 33 is a degree bestowed upon some. Are you a mason?
nob
Nuke - Im sure it was an inside joke
not you from 12 seconds ago. cool. lol.
Doesn't take a mason to understand a fucking joke.
lol
Paul F. Tompkins should have been LeFou on the live action Beauty and the Beast.
aSK HIM WHY HE PUNCHES PEOPLE WHO GET ON STAGE.
Reggie Watts in not Afroman. I think you may have the two mixed up.
Are we shure this guy isnt just Arin Hanson from GG,
Think about it.
I wonder how he would look like with a nice hair cut and a shave. I know the whole homeless look has made him famous, but yeah.
RICECAKEPALACE he grew the beard after he'd been working as a musician for awhile, so you can find promotional photos of him cleanshaven, at least.
Homeless?
The Afro jealousy is real
He doesn't look homeless to more diverse people than you.
You don't know the difference between cultural and ethnic diversity, either? Point proven.
