Nate Bargatze on SNL, Taylor Tomlinson gets a network show, and JAJ on Seth. It's been a good week for my favorite comedians.
Same here!!! What a great week!
SERIOUSLY 🎉🎉
And we know that’s how both their dads talk too 😂
Nate's Netflix special destroyed me.
Possibly a silver lining to the actor's strike? Roy Wood Jr. on the View this week and Colbert had Jim Gaffigan last week.
James’ little throwaway comments are so good, and they’re not going over with the audience nearly as well as they should
I noticed that too!
Being really good at vocal mimicry, and doing accents, goes hand in hand with being an excellent singer, this is a person in total control of their vocalizations. So glad SNL is using him more and not just as the Dorito Bandito.
The Dorito Bandito 😂😂😂
You know you have arrived as a comedian and/or impressionist when you get Seth to crack up in delight, not Fallonesque histrionic laughter but a genuine authentic Seth cracking up in sheer joy type deal 🥰
As someone who listened to Les Mis as a young kid, I deeply appreciate his song choice.
The expository songs!
One of my talents is I can do, with about 85% accuracy the entire musical from beginning to end.
The Bobby Flay impression is absolutely unhinged 🤣
He deserves a better crowd.
ehh I like him but his 'talk show banter' is just not very good. his bits and impressions are where he's amazing
James Austin Johnson and Bill Hader doing deep cut impressions is what we need
Seth better hope that impersonation camp hires James as a counselor.
I heard that camp is closed until they settle their legal battle with Impressions Camp.
@@LateNightwithStudBuyersJackals always take the bait. They’re owned by the same company. Obviously, Impersonation Camp is where they go after graduating from Impression Camp.
My jaw was on the floor when he started singing! How dare he be so talented?
Lake beach was hilarious.
From Frodo to Gollum in 35 seconds might be a new record for the One Ring.
I can’t with his Bobby Flay 🤣🤣 it made me happy lol
We love James Austin Johnson
YES WE DO ❤❤❤❤YES WE DO ❤❤❤❤❤
The Tambor impression OMG!!!! Unprecedented!!! 100% spot on!!!
He’s a real singer!
James' extended bit about Jeffrey Tambor being irate that his Nintendo Switch Lite can't plug into the TV was criminally underappreciated by the audience.
The best comedy is grounded in truth
Absolutely love his impressions. That Tambor impression so unique and spot on.
Omg I haven’t laughed that hard in a while! The Bobby Flay sent me. Lake Beach was my fav skit on the last SNL! WOW thanks I needed that ❤
Man, I was caught off guard when he got into his Tambor. He may be one of the best mainstream impressionists of all time.
If only SNL could have hung onto Melissa, these two could be anyone on Earth between them.
I was hoping he'd throw in Jeffrey's "Hey now!"
@@Qermaq I think Melissa is very happy with her decision to leave. Anxiety has been an issue with her and she seems/says she is much happier now. But Chloe Fineman, IMO, is barely a step down from Melissa. More in common with the slightly “enhanced” takes of Bill Hader than the specificity of Melissa or JAJ.
@@shawnuel Nah I agree, she left for her good reasons. I guess my point is it's a shame the nature of the show led to that. Agreed on Chloe, she's a good successor to Kate McKinnon.
Wonderful range James,wish more of it showed on SNL
JAJ is so good and has such a great act.
His "Lake Beach" sketch and song are hilarious.
BTW, kudos for not requesting an impression of "you know who". As talented as James is the world can do with a lot less reminders of that stink hog.
I love that bit of Les Mis! When I was a kid, giving non-answers to my parents’ questions, my dad would sing/bellow “what do you mean by that?! That is not an answer!” Which was very weird to me since I had not yet seen Jesus Christ Superstar.
Favorite cast member right now without a doubt
“People are very proud of their hardcover nonfiction.” THAT IS TRUE SIR
They really nailed the Lake Beach vibe! I lived on a lake in Minnesota in high school and it was EXACTLY like that!
He’s too funny he doesn’t seem human he’s very smart and I watch him all the time😊
JAJ is already an SNL LEGEND.
Who still isn't used enough, IMO.
Only been on for 2 years and he felt like an essential cast member from the start. The key impressionist in the cast currently.
Also, he really did his dad's voice perfectly.
Thinking the same thing!
I met James when he performed on Maui. Super kind, humble guy. I’m not sure he even realizes how spot-on his impressions are.
Why would he not realize that? Impressions don't just come along, comedians always work a lot on perfecting them, so they know better than you and me how good exactly they are.
@@shivavision23 lol right? the guy on SNL who opens the show as Trump sometimes doesn't realize he's that good at impressions. what
I like how his Grinch is Jiminy Glick
I need James Austin Johnson and Bill Harder to start there own sketch show. I love those guys.
Each week on this show three chefs are gonna team up with four celebrities to find out who's gonna head to the parking lot to battle against five moms for the ultimate battle of baby back ribs supremacy, and then those three people are gonna jump into an empty swimming pool with Tony Hawk who's gonna do a 900 to find out whose barbecue baby back ribs are gonna go up against three chefs that are gonna find out whose signature dish is gonna become the signature dish for the rest of the year right here on "Beat Bobby To The Punch."
The Bobby Flay took me out!!!! 🤣
The Lake Beach was perfection.
I appreciate his Broadway indoctrination. I was so proud when my 2-year-old's favorite bedtime song was Come to My Garden from The Secret Garden. She used to sing, "nesowd inna hills" instead of nestled in the hills. So cute. Now she only wants me to sing the lullaby from Frozen 2. Oh well
Petition to cast JAJ as Jean Valjean!
I remember following this guy on twitter for his trump impressions and he's still here! wild!
Don't worry, Trump is gonna be reinstalled in the White House soon.
Him or some other Russian puppet.
I’m 25 years old and I wish JAJ was my dad…also love to see Tennessee and lake beaches represented 🧡
Considering how many podcasts get animated, this one should be beyond great when that happens.
1:27 I detect a cut :D I want the JAJ directors edition
Bobby flay impression was crazy good
the music freaking threw me off, i thought i was in a bizarre alternate universe!!! hahahaha
Underrated dude!!!!!!!!
6:06 just casually quoting Carl Sandberg lol
oh my god a jeffrey tambor "arrested development" impression on SNL would be the greatest thing to ever happen. i adore this guy
Channeling Jim Carrey energy with that Grinch voice! 🎉
I wish his Bobby Flay was a regular character in skits, it just kills me 💀
I love to see teenagers trick-or-treating! We have a great group of high schoolers in our neighborhood who come by for candy every year. We give them candy, then suggest they come by after the kiddos have gone home for all that's left over. They pretend to demure, we pretend to insist, and then we all wait for them to come by before going back into the house and calling it a night. They're so sweet!
Donald Trump was bleeding thru some of those impressions & it was absolutely hilarious to me... cuz then it had me thinking of a sketch idea where Donald Trump is a Ghost that keeps trying to possess random celebrities, especially reality tv celebs, to try & feed off their fame & gain life again by fully possessing Bobby Flay, for example. I feel theres a lot of potential there, but even if not, its very funny to me.
He’s so good lol
Anyone notice the guitar hackery in the intro? Oooofff
Ok the lake beach song was so good !!
Brilliance.
Thank you for that Jeffrey Tambor impression
TH-cam is trying to sell me 33 seasons of “Beat Bobby Flay” alongside this video. No thanks, I’m already subscribed to the Beat Bobby Flay Plus service.
Based on that Les Mis excerpt I'll venture he too is a fan of the 10th Anniversary Dream Cast version.
3:45 - that's some Church Lady if I've ever heard it.
...a ghost you say... a ghost maybe. She was just like a ghost to me. One minute there, and she was gone!
Next time he's on the show, he and Seth should do a Trump-off!
very good
According to my neighbor, the Grinch was a quitter who couldn't follow through.
You know the man is a comedian bc he named his son "Homer". 😅
Homer's Odyssey or Simpson?
@@nms7872 either way it's just a really bad name for a young man this far into society. Better than zoom zoom laser fists though, I suppose 😂
ele é mt bom vei
I know it sounds kind of weird but I used to fantasize about this guy a lot LOL
Yeah, that’s weird.
JAJ is amazing.
Hear me out: SNL American idol sketch, james Austin Johnson is luke Bryan and Chloe fineman is Katy Perry.
Should do a mock Emeril cooking segment. Yea, Yea Hilda!! It's not rocket science folks.
I am sure that Carl Sandburg would be baffled at the idea that ' fog comes on little cat feet' would be in Nashville and not Chicago.
he & andrew dismukes are my favorite current cast members
Richard deacon talk about Cameron Mitchell
He whiffs of the old legends
So this guy is on SNL? He seems very funny!
Love his Trump steam of consciousness. He really narrows it
His Grinch had a lot of Nathan Lane energy 😂
Omg that was like him doing an impression of trump doing an impression of Bobby Flay
Bobby Flay impression at 9:38
So his Grinch is Jimmy Glick?
Wow!!!!
The best trump ever😂
Omg he can sing too. What can’t this man do
With a name like that it's surprising he's not a blues rock guitar man
He’s now just doing the Trump hands and head tilt autonomically now.
Completely missed the "became Gollum" joke.
I thought the Tambor impression was weak. But his Trump? Awesome...
😆
I hope this poor guy is in agreement with the Dr. Seuss estate, because their lawyers are going to smoke him like a cheap cigar if he skipped that step and used 'The Grinch.'
Their noses are exactly the same!!
Should have asked Jim Johnson about his uncle(?) Mike Johnson becoming House Speaker. Jim must have insight into what it's like to be a Johnson.
JAJ (I'm not writing out that name dude) is doing an amazing impersonation of a 7 year old kid.
James looks like Woody harrellson and Woody Allen had a love child, or male Rachel maddow.
Hahaha 😆
Wow
please have JAJ do a beat bobby flay on snl
1:16 sooo, Smeagol?
So he is doing a Jiminy Glick?
Beat me to it.
He's a genius with that Trump impersonation.
hard shout out to Wegmans
I honestly didn't realize how ridiculous Food Network premises have gotten until that impression 😂👏🤣
love him for his bits and amazing impressions, but his talk show banter got about the right amount of middling audience reaction. his Grinch still needs a little work too
bill hader mentioned
