YT has immortalized Patrice O’Neal. I never heard of him until a couple of years ago and now watch him regularly. His insight and courage was amazing. For me it’s like he’s here now.
I read somewhere that the reason he would continuously go on O&A was to get his message out there and somewhat immortalize himself because he was aware his health was on the downward slope... Idk if there is something for us when we pass, but if there is, I hope Patrice is looking down and sees all the wisdom he has given men all walks of life.
Ever watch Carson when Robin Williams came on ? He just sat back and let him run. Today's interviewers are too insecure to allow that. It looks like he cut Patrice off.
"I thought it was unfair to white people to have to be that mature to listen to that title" LMAO. God what I would do to get Patrice back. My favorite comedian for a decade now. His loss is comparable to someone like 2pac. He is the 2pac of comedy.
Godcaly123 A self- avowed sexist and racist, but always truthful hahaha, he was great. I will go on binges of listening to him sometimes, but the content gets to be really cynical and I have to turn it off. I feel another binge coming on though...
@@genesiskeglar6372 how is it cynical?? Cause he's honest?? He was always willing to have the conversation with women asians or anyone he despised but they didn't want to have one back instead they rather cry and play victim making patrices points even more valid
@@Swagbearpig yo I love Patrice with all my heart but you can't say that he doesn't have a cynical outlook on things. He speaks the truth, but he speaks to the ugly truths, he's not out there talking about hope or how shit can be better lol.
I was gonna point out the same thing. But I think the laugh was more of him going over time as he's notorious for doing on stage that other comics get pissed. I wish that laugh was isolated. Tbh fallon was bearable before getting the tonightshow gig which he knew he isn't fit for.
This man is the greatest of all time for me.... He's literally the epitome of "if you know... you know" I can GUARANTEE if you introduce Patrice's work to ANYBODY... at first they won't understand but just let them digest his stand up & interviews for SIX MONTHS & they'll turn a corner. One of my biggest regrets in life is not being able to meet him. Not a single comedy club I go into here in NYC that doesn't have his photo somewhere. He was truly one of a kind! R.I.P to the Black Phillip! Sleep in Power Patrice O'Neal
True 👌🏾I couldn't believe how funny Patrice was when I first found out about dude; and I only found out about him through another youtubers' controversy, I was like how is this dude this funny but this unknown a t the same time. Your time coming too though, bro. I'm still waiting for them to put your commentary bits on ESPN somewhere. "... get aboard the L__________ TRAIN!..." "...[takes off helmet with haste](rather agressively) that's how the WHITE man runs the football..." 😂😂😂 Keep it up bro 👍🏾
@@jasonbrisco I got introduced to him from Chappelle and he didn't have much lines but something about him was so effortless and natural. It was the Haters Ball skit and I think he only had 2 lines that made the cut. He told Ice T, "you're corny!" For some reason his delivery made me laugh hard and I immediately looked him up. I've been a fan ever since.
Can someone explain that quote to me? I am really having trouble understand what it means. That black people don't understand other people have it hard too?
I can only count on one hand how many guests I've seen go on talk shows and completely dominate not only the interview but the entire studio audience so flawlessly the way Patrice O'Neal did here. He was a true comic down to his core.
i agree. it was like everyone in the room were friends hanging out because how patrice shifts the dynamic so well. Elephant in the Room was a perfect name for his special.
@@CanYouHandleThis Patrice didn't care about space in that sense. He just didn't give a fuck, which was long known to be both a strength and a weakness for him. But this type of conversational style was what Patrice was always good at 👍🏽
At the end Patrice says "That was 6 minutes...Did you let me go early, Jimmy?" then gives him a little shove. Jimmy was getting uncomfortable and hit the kill switch lol
It was getting into political and too tense racial and he couldn’t keep up with out getting him into trouble. Conan would straight up said that: I you trying to get me canceled!?
@@mrdanyo1223 He was pretty stiff. I have to respect him for having Patrice on and going with his bits a little though, especially because of the clean, safe image he tries to uphold.
Wow, what an absolute giant man. I mean, the ability to just walk into a room and immediately own that room with your charisma and comedic charm is something that very few people can pull off. There’s a real treasure to being self-righteous that Patrice O’ Neal could pull off, and it’s the idea of being so firm and sound in your convictions that you have the ability to speak your mind, no matter how polarizing, and convince people of where you stand through charm and seductive persuasion. It really is a true talent. RIP to one of the greatest to ever do it.
from watching a good bit of patrice recently, i feel like if he was still alive nowadays, he'd definitely be on the right wing side of the culture war and probably wasn't totally in love with obama. but that's just the feeling i get, who the fuck knows.
@@dancemattdanceify he would for sure be on the right. He was a huge Alex Jones supporter and sung the praises of movies like “the Obama conspiracy” during his radio appearances. There’s a good chance he may have been a Trump supporter too just based of the “machismo” aspect that some people are attracted to. That being said he’s one of the greatest comedians to ever live. He wasn’t a political scientist. You’ve just gotta take everything with a grain of salt and disagree when you know something he says is wrong
This might be the best front to back talk show appearance I've ever seen. He had no nerves and just relaxed into it. He was finally at a place where his aloofness was combining with his genius wit and its heartbreaking when you realize he was about to explode the way Bill Burr did on Conan. Rest in power Patrice.
I bet Questlove asked them to play creep at his entry coz of patrice's take on the song "Creep" and he had also mentioned how Questlove was one of his few famous fans...love patrice....love Questlove
Once I was passed out with RU-vid playing on auto...it recommended and landed on that Video of him singing that Blues song. Woke me up 3 AM in the morning and it made me tear up. Because I slowly woke up in a daze, realized it's loooong loooong past 2007 or whenever he sang that, and the world of comedy (and may I say everything else) has tangibly gotten worse. So I was mourning the loss of Patrice and an also an era.
Patrice was TOO real for TV. Way ahead of his time. Hate Jimmy cut his interview short idk why. This would be his last TV appearance before his death. RIP a Legend
Finally! Someone with something positive to say about Fallon. I'm not a fan of his, but there are way too many people dunking on Fallon in here. I mean, he chose to have Patrice on knowing what his personality and comedy are like, that's pretty cool.
Patrice O’Neal was one of those rare comedians that he didn’t have to force himself to be funny… The man was naturally funny to begin with. 😂 Rest in power Patrice O’Neal.
He went longer than 6 minutes.. So they did not. It just went by really fast. He wasn't used to TV and more to radio where he can go on for longer and not be so rushed.
Well no one not even fallon had issues when jimmy had this middle gig. It's cus nbc managment how they fuck over ppl with the uncertainty plus the legendary Carson gig is what turned jimmy into a nervous excited fucking loser he is now
LOL Patrice hilariously deconstructed that Radio Head song Creep they played in the beginning on the radio. Maybe he asked for that song. By the way, thanks for the upload, untill now I had only seen a shorter version of this interview.
I'm sure he chose the song, he called himself a fuckin creep all the time. I remember that one Brazil story about some drunk chick pissing by the side of the curb and even lil jimmy was creeped out how much Patrice enjoyed it
No Patrice said that QuestLove heard that Creep bit on the radio in San Francisco when Patrice was on the air. Patrice was super proud that Quest was a true fan ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hS9Rm45Wcso.html
A Kim excellent recall Mr. Kim. The video you are speaking about is a cover of Creep by Homeless Mustard- m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hXlzci1rKNM.html
"Elephant in the room" is on my Mount Rushmore of great specials: "Richard Pryor: Live At Sunset Strip", "Eddie Murphy: Delirious", "Dave Chappelle: For What It's Worth".
One of the greatest gifts I find tonight, is after 10 years of listening to every bit of Patrice content that I find something new today. Thank you. Also I was nearly dying from the moment they played that Radiohead song all the way through. I absolutely miss this guy.
One of the most remarkable, live television performances of all time. Every piece of this was a bit portrayed by Patrice. Established himself as one of my top 5 comics
GREATEST comic mind ever. Gone way too soon. Brilliant. Naturally funny. 💯 honest. Never pretended to be what he wasn’t. Never launched into rehearsed bits. Never latched onto whatever was popular or trendy.
I thought I watched everything Patrice, 1st time seeing this. It's good to see how he won over a crowd that shouldn't like him. THANK YOU UXNOSIDDA. I'll subscribe just because.
I miss him so much! The most honest guy that ever stood on a comedy stage. The hours of content of him on Opie & Anthony really highlights his sageness. 2020 misses you, Patrice!
@@JoeyJojoJrJr Plus Patrice really gave him props in this interview, which was really cool to see. Imagine how good that must've felt from someone who's such a notorious, merciless ball buster to just build you up on national TV like that.
Patrice is the greatest.. ever.. that man changed my life, till this day I’m thankful for coming across Patrice back in the day. RIP! He’s sorely missed, especially now more than ever!
The interview was supposed to be much longer, but Jimmy felt uncomfortable having Patrice say what he said and dominating the entire conversation. He didn't get to do enough of his bullshit fake laughs cause Patrice would've called him out on that nonsense and fucked his reputation up. You can see how surprised Patrice was at the end with Fallon ending the interview, he knew Jimmy was uncomfortable and that cracked Patrice up! RIP, Mr. P. You saved a bunch of people with your advice, and we'll all continue coming back to you here on RU-vid to keep your legacy alive.
I actually think Patrice had enough social intelligence not to call out Jimmy on the air like that. He knew when to lay it on but I doubt he would shame a fellow talk show host like that
@@troyrichardson8787 Oh, really? I just felt like other guests get a much longer interview time and Patrice got rushed. But it's good to know that wasn't the case.
If you don't know who Patrice was, just search RU-vid and watch every reference you can find about him, This guy was the most perceptive person I've ever seen. I cry every time I think about the he could have been if he'd be alive today.
Patrice is not only one of the greatest comedians of all time but is also one of the most intellectual philosophers of the past few generations and deserves to go down in history as one of the most important human beings of the century.
Thank you for this!!!! I never seen the whole interview just the small clips of this interview!!! I’m the biggest Patrice O’Neal Fan!!!!! 🙏 thank u my friend!!!
Thanks for uploading this. Patrice, a rare unbridled comedy genius. Love and Light Patrice, thanks for all the joy and laughs and thought provoking... provoking- You are a Legend to us lucky few in the know!
Damn wish he was still here today, especially with the way the world is now, would be nice to hear someone who spoke with honesty and fearlessness. Sad he left just months after this. R.i.p
This was great! I've been a fan since I saw him on Tough Crowd.One of my favorite things about Patrice is how he delivers a joke that makes most people in the crowd uncomfortable and then he laughs and then everyone else does because his laughter makes people loosen up. RIP one the most absolute elite comics ever.
He owned that room. Jimmy was thinking censors, the whole time while his producer sweated bullets. Patrice hated mainstream viewers because the lacked substance.
Having Patrice on a "regular" tv show was phenomenal! Should have been entire show. So fun having a bunch of folks in audience who had NO idea who Patrice was & then experience him! Must have blown their minds!
BRO Patrice is a genius. He is talking about the inclusion of all minorities in Jimmy Fallon's show, which is exactly at the crux of the current social movement in media. A lot of people think he tends to support conservative view points (at least on the internet) but he does what he believes is right regardless of political leanings.. One of a kind
I’m white. Patrice hates me. I swear to god i still love this man. Brought me out of a dark spot in my life listening to his comedy and radio appearances on OandA
God damn, how have I never seen this. It’s so god damn great. Incredible display of how original and one of a kind he was. I wish so badly he was alive today.
Patrice owned the entire room and the audience and if he had another hour in the room he couldve made every speak honestly brings tears to my eyes the way he made people honest
I discovered Patrice late, but at least I got to know his comedy a fee years before he died it makes all the difference. I truly believe if he had lived he had GOAT potential. He is one of my favorite comics ever even with just his limited material. Absolute fucking legend
