Irish-Aussie comic JIMEOIN - his American TV debut - LATE NIGHT with CONAN O’BRIEN 1997 - RARE VIDEO 

Yep, I hate ads too, so my channel isn’t monetised (sometimes YT will put them on my vids if I use content it recognises)

Glad you liked it

You're welcome. I'm always happy to help give someone's search a happy ending!

You're welcome.

@@BabyFaceBren back home in Ireland here I had never heard of him untill my sister started going out with a fella from Hilltown. He told me "He's big in Australia but he's funny."

You're welcome

It’s nice to have a comment on here about Jimeoin doing an old routine, but looking forward to it! The number of trolls that have left smart-arse comments about him doing the same old stuff today (all deleted by me, why do they bother), had me considering blocking comments from being added but it would stop the fans leaving praise so I’ll just keep deleting and wondering how these morons have so much time on their hands and why they don’t use it for positivity. For God’s sake Bob Newhart has been doing many of HIS routines for over 60 years and fans love it!

I grew up watching Jimoen through my childhood, his practically my family

@@random4969 uncle Jim

seems very irish to me

@@jackjude You can take the man out of Ireland, but you can't take the Irish out of the man. Jim had embraced the Australian culture 30 years ago (and pulled the piss out of it) he love's us and we adore him. He's an Aussie.

I saw a sober Irishman once. It sure wasn't in Australia.. 🍀 🇦🇺 🇺🇸❗

Maty69r ohhhh you did not

Cronulla Calling how the fuck would you know? If Maty69r says he watched it then I believe him. I used to watch it too.

@@gloryglory5688 lol why would I make that up? Everyone used to watch that show. I even remember a couple of jokes from the show like the one about the shopping trolley with the bad wheel, and the sketches he used to have with that comedian that looked like Sean Bean without the hair

@@Maty69r mate I wouldn't worry about what this piece of shit Cronulla Calling says. I think the dudes just trying to cause arguments. It's probably just a dumb kid hey. Remember the elevator gag he used to do behind his desk all the time. Funny as...

@@gloryglory5688Jaysus lad relax for Fock snakes and ladders.

Same

@@randomkrap917what, famous like you are

@@PetroicaRodinogaster264What?

​@@PetroicaRodinogaster264 Bell end.

He would of been bloodie huege.

You're welcome.

around 5 years ago or a bit more his profile in the Irish/UK scene started to gain traction, he did some Live At The Apollo on BBC and others. He did parts of this routine but ofcourse far better as he had polished it and had his timing down perfectly by then, was a bit rushed there. Thats understandable ofcourse cuz this show was a big chance for him. 100% he has his own style, can't say that about alot of comics so fair fucks to ya Jim - keep it lit auld hand

@Theres onlyonekeono he was on Australian TV at that time shitloads, it was Aussies supporting him, that's his point 🐨👍

@Theres onlyonekeono well we know he is irish. We're not deaf. Just sayin.... No hate. It's nearly Friday 👍

@Theres onlyonekeono yes I'm irish. sound. Later 👍

Omg what's next? Ned Kelly was irish I suppose too? 🤨

Jason M pretty much

Yep, but I’m happy to say I don’t feel any older. I don’t even look that much older (unmarried, no kids😉)

he's not rated as a talk show host outside of the US. Too fake and insincere.

@@juniorramone4654 says you. I used to love this show (hence recording it every night, hence this clip) and most of my friends did too and that’s in Australia, about as far outside the USA as one can get. I await a dumb “what about Antarctica?” response.

I'm not surprised. Australia is the southern hemisphere version of America. Oversized, self obsessed and racist.@@BabyFaceBren

Nick B upload some

Joe Lycett?? Hes CRAP

fuck your profile picture man

I liked your comment mainly because your profile pic made it feel like all my qualifications were pointless 😂

@@bobwallacejnr6852 wrong

He was actually famous in Australia (where he was working as a gardener before he tried standup) before he become known in the UK. He still lives in Australia and has been an Aussie citizen for years. I used to get so many people arguing about this topic and giving me crap for calling him “Irish-Aussie” in the title that I blocked comments for a while, but as per his Wikipedia page: “Jimeoin married Catherine Arena in 2000, and they reside in Melbourne with their four children. He is a fan of Australian football team South Melbourne FC. He said in a 2009 interview that he is "not really into that nationality thing" but revealed that he supports the Australian national football (soccer) tram as well as supporting Australia in other sports, because "Ireland's shit at everything". Conan may have introduced him as Irish, instead of Australian so the audience wouldn’t be distracted from his act when he started talking, thinking “Australian? He sounds Irish!”

Couldn't agree more!

Yeah I know, but he lives in Australia

He was discovered in Australia on hey hey it’s Saturday

...after Steve Hughes

Elias A.B. no it's Shaun Micallef

Indeed, they had to import the best one 😅

Love Bob Franklin!

He doesn't have an Aussie accent!!!! Stop trying to claim, it pathetic. Ff sake. He'll never be one of yours!

He's got a very decent career now. Definitely one of the well-known comics in Australia, UK and Ireland

That was interesting to learn 👍

@@cahillgreg You do realize that while Irish by birth, Jimeoin migrated to Australia, and gained Australian citizenship, so he is Australian - an Australian with a funny accent. So presumably he is properly mixed up about what a thong is :)

I did not come to this video to learn things but I think I just did.

Irish humour......moron!

Irish humour 😂

@@vernonbear Haha!

As an American, I apologize for all my stupid countrymen. I don’t mean they’re all stupid, but I do apologize for the stupid ones.... so 85% of my countrymen. I was once conversing with a friend’s teenage co-worker at some company party and somehow the topic of history came up and I made some comment about the Vietnam War. The child said, “I don’t really know anything about it.” I was stunned. I said, “Do they not teach you about it in school?” “No” they replied. “So, what do they teach you in history class then?” Well, they teach us American history, a little bit about world history, like WWII, and such and then current events.” I was gob smacked. Likewise, go to the convenience store and give the clerk a tenner for something that costs $7.65 and they can’t bloody do the math in their head! Bunch o thick as brick gobshites.

@The Truth - It's spelled humor not homour you twit.

@@irishcountrygirl78 He's obviously not an American.

@@Zelig2u As an Australian your plight is no different to what happens here. On Remembrance Day in the workshop at 11th of the 11th some Idiots couldn't understand why we put tools down.

Andy Richter, the Swedish-German

@@jimmyintheswamp I was way off. Thank you

Funny genitals

He's the dog's bollocks.

As an Aussie, it always makes me laugh when I hear an American talk about their "big fanny" or whatever, but it also reminds me of being severely punished as a kid at school (and being the 1960s, that meant being caned), when one of my teachers asked an inattentive girl in my class "what are you doing?". I, an innocent kid unaware of the Aussie meaning and being a watcher of US sitcoms, called out "she's just sitting there on her fanny".

Where was that? I never heard it in Australia and I just turned 62.

Crocodile Dundee wasn't a documentary you know

Gockle of geer

Thongs are the correct term. Gstrings were called thongs because of the strap going up the butt crack and over the cheeks just like the thong strap between the toes . The G string is much later than the thongs.

@@kenbel2000 yes I agree thongs have been around a hell of a lot longer than G-strings .I had American staying with us about 25 years ago,we were going to the beach ,and I asked has he got any thongs and the look he gave me was ... Huh ,i looked at him and said the sand gets bloody hot mate you need some thongs,,huh,I went and got my pair and he said ohhh flip flops and I said huh.any way we had a good ol' laugh about it for a long time .

@@JulianLeahy I went to the USA in 1990, 4 years after "Crocodile Dundee" and when they learned I am an Aussie, so many people asked if I knew Croc Dundee. Many believed as kids we ride kangaroos to school. And if you ever hear about drop bears, don't believe it.

He's been a staple part of Aussie comedy for decades.

I bet he did.

Yes. It’s called “The Craic”

Thanks. I'll have to check it out.

Music Playlists I don’t know what it’s like, because I haven’t seen it, but I heard it has some funny moments

It’s an okay movie. Some funny moments but not really a memorable movie.

portstewart i think

13aBOC yep. Actually born in England (Irish parents), grew up in Portstewart, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. Moved to Oz when he was 22. Worked on building sites and as a gardener before getting into comedy.

Portstewart, county Derry

BabyFaceBren yes but he considers himself irish

@@BabyFaceBren yip..... And there is..... There's always one.... Drag it through the dirt.... With ur Londonderrys .. Etc...

Yes, it’s all Trump hatred now, very tiresome.

Razz aus Too right mate! Those bloody Liberals! Howard, Abbott and all their right wing media buddies like Rupert Murdoch! Absolutely killed all the fun!

@@rogerdavis5142 Haha, I think this thread is getting liberals mixed up with Liberals.

Because he moved to Australia before he became a comic, first became famous in Australia, has had several Australian-produced series and has guest starred on hundreds of Australian shows, lives in Australia and has an Australian wife and kids. He is an Australian citizen by now too. But he still loves his homeland, is proud of his homeland and "kept the accent", as he says here. Did you notice the word "Irish" is in the title too? Did you watch the video? He talks about Australia. By the way, if you need to know more about Jimeoin, there's a lot about him, his heritage, his career, his life as an Australian, including his Aussie citizenship, on the internet. Just Google him.

I don't know, what do you mean?

@@adamhardcourt9428 The Irishness of this man is well over 9000 :)

The most Irish thing I ever heard was when an Irish co-worker and I were talking about someone we both had no respect for and to express his disdain he said, "I wouldn't give him the steam off my piss." Brilliant!

@@Zelig2u you never heard that before? That's a very common sayin here. Like sayin "he'd steal the eye outta yer head" "He's that thin one eye would do him".

@@Zelig2u Haha the Irish have such a Beautiful way with words, I hear they are great poets.

I’m from Australia. The only thing here that people seem pleased over at the moment is Taylor Swift, who just visited. With that and the Super Bowl it’s been wall-to-wall Tay-Tay on TV and radio.

If I had any idea who that is I might be able to answer you

Who said he is?

Yes.

And the Rolling Stones are still playing the same songs. Your point?

This has been explained many times, but once more, Jimeoin moved to Australia as a young man, before he started doing comedy. He worked on building sites and did other jobs, has lived in Australia for more of his life than anywhere else. He became an Australian citizen, married an Australian, has Australian kids and considers himself an Australian, as do I and his fellow Aussies. You sound like if you adopted a kid you'd scream at him or her every day "you are NOT one of us!!".

I hope this doesn't make your head doesn't explode (hmm, on second thoughts), but, according to Wikipedia, Jimeoin was born in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, England, so I suppose, going by your rules, he's English. Deal with that. (and John Mcevoy was never heard from again)

Relax dude.
