Yasser sits down with Jasmeet to discuss Late Bloomer, life, the social media hiatus, and artistic&personal growth. latebloomer.tv Yasser: / helloyasser Jasmeet: / jusreign
the man literally got burnt out catering to everyone elses comedic needs, and no matter what, someone would always be upset at whatever he created. Hats off to taking a step back and coming back as jasmeet as opposed to jusreign. Respect
Jasmeet you paved the way for so many of and us I really appreciate you opening up about this, the things that you felt and went through are very real and even pretty relatable in a way. Glad to see you still paving the way for us, even if it’s on a different path. 🙏🏼❤️
As a first generation Chinese American growing up in super multicultural neighborhoods of Brooklyn, NY, I really appreciate your creative content, JusReign!!!! You made me laugh and feel proud and relatable to my own cultural background. Thank you…
*It's so good to see you back Jasmeet, albeit in a different form. I am glad you spoke about what you were going through, It's still hard to acknowledge 'Jasmeet' instead of 'JusReign' though since we were accustomed to your peppy and satirical personality but I understand people mature with age and it brings soberness, I somehow believe that your last video 'The Geeta Breakup' was a way to give us all a hint that what you may be going through and the reason of your absence but as someone aptly mentioned on that video - it was not that you went, it was that you never said goodbye! But irrespective we still love you and send you best wishes for your upcoming projects, just a small request that please make some more song videos when you could, they are damn addictive and awesome!* 🙂
I liked the moment you talked to the Christian guy in front of the church about how spirituality is like food/cuisine, how it nourishes us in their own way and that the path of all religions/belief systems lead to a similar point of nutrition to keep us alive. That's pretty much how I've always viewed it all too. You're an awesome guy and you are loved, Jasmeet. So loved. 🙏💖
Growing up the way I did and in the very white spaces I grew up in, Jasmeet was so meaningful to me. Running to my laptop after school in elementary and high school to watch and rewatch his videos - this was a core memory for me. Jasmeets back and now I'm in my twenties just as excited - I'm not crying, your crying😭. What a gem of a man, thank you for coming back and for being so vulnerable, honest and thank you for being yourself👏🏼👏🏼
I was 14 when I first saw some of JusReigns content on vine. Now I'm a man-child with a degree and a job. This is beautiful. Glad to see him doing what he loves. Hope you always keep holding it down for the Desi crowd. Much love, Jas.
when he mentioned feeling like an outsider, especially after 9/11, that hit me hard. As a muslim myself, I forget sometimes that muslims weren't the only ones that suffered discrimination after that event in history. So many other visible minorities also got hit as well. much love brother.
i never forgot that it's the case for others as well ever since he uploaded the video about how they forced him to take his turban off at the airport. i was like oh true they profile brown people who wear anything and group them all in as the same people.
Yeah im of Indian Muslim background but many of my friends were Hindus or Sikhs. One time, in college, some street preacher yelled out to my Hindu friend and asked him angrily if he was “a Muzzlem” . My friend replied “Subhanallah” ❤
Are you serious? You weren’t aware that Sikhs were literally catching it just as much, if not worse? First person unalived after 9/11 was a Sikh, the shooting at the Wisconsin gurdwara was because we were mistaken as being Muslim. Get your head out of your ass
@@rmlysf #freeiraq I’m so fucking sorry bro. I’m Muslim. My heart has been broken all my life over what they’ve been doing to our people in Muslim countries. All just to exploit you. They lied about everything, and so many people still don’t know that. It’s devastating but trust I fight everyday for our justice. I’m a social justice activist. Everyone who’s seeing this, make sure to go to a protest if you can tomorrow for P@l€st!ne for the Global Day of Action. I am ✊🏽 I know it’s far too late for people to have woken up and I feel so guilty that Islam’s name is being cleared up at the cost of the P@l€st!nians…. People are seeing the truth about everything and they can no longer ignore it. It’s infuriating to me that we’ve been talking about it for years, but no one cared about it until this blatant g€n0c!de.
Just wanna say Late Bloomer was absolutely what was needed in a space for understanding our South Asian culture. It's not the typical stereotyping seen in a lot of westernized shows. As a kashmiri south asian, I really felt and related to the emotions, struggles, and experiences that were shown. Such an amazing show and really hope for another season. Also dope response to the preacher about how there's different cuisine's to spirituality, respect.
Late Bloomer was literally the best TV show I have watched all year. Netflix should pick it up ASAP if they have any braincells left. It's literally MILES ahead of "Never Have I Ever" and Lilly Singh's unfunny train wreck of a show. What I like about Jasmeet is his authenticity and genuine love for his culture, he truly takes the best parts of his faith, and experience being Punjabi and seamlessly blends it into his day to day life, and he perfectly capture the emotion, turbulence and heavy heart we all feel during those moments, and it's genuinely funny and wholesome material. We need more shows that promote healthy nuclear familial relations and desi pride. I think our community is hungry and in desperate need of that these days
The only reason Late Bloomer is on Crave is due to Russell Peters and Pier 21 otherwise it was initially supposed to be on CBC. Comparing Never Have I Ever to Late Bloomer is laughable. Look at the viewership numbers Never Have I Ever its miles ahead of Late Bloomer. Your to focused on "Desi Pride" that's a great way to narrow the audience.......
Found it really mediocre. Too focused on trying to represent culture and community as opposed to telling a compelling story or flesh out the characters. Speaking of characters, they all felt very one-dimensional. The comedic timing was off throughout the show. Acting felt forced. Hope he improves if he gets a second season.
I love the format of this interview. The black and white shots are a dope contrast to the main shot of the interview, as well as the side interviews. Perfect combination for this short attention span era 🔥 🔥🔥🔥
Hey Jasmeet I really resonated with this. A few years ago I gave my life to the college admissions process and the whole obsession with getting into a "prestigious" college, only to realize a few years later that I was just feeling the college admission business and not discovering my own self and what I wanted in life. Really enjoyed this interview!
@@shrekyboi4776 I want new vids, but honestly, what new YT content is he going to make that isn’t similar to what he’s already made? It’s like the Office/Friends, it could’ve lasted forever but… it shouldn’t 😂
Jasmeet, I'm so proud of who you've become. What a humble person you are. Thank you for sharing your experiences and being human. Love you loads. Missed you. All the best.
As someone who was doing well in his career and lost his job recently, I feel this rings home. Jobs are hard to come by....and I decided to study again. Looking at my parents and looking at my friends who all are getting married and settling down, I feel like I am always behind. However, I know I will be there someday. I might take some time, but I'll get it done. This was emotional for me.
Jus, thank you for this upload, glad you’re doing well and thriving. Nothing but love from the states. I love that you recognized how you were changing as an individual, and kept to your core values. 💙💙
I finished watching season 1 of late bloomer today and it’s so real and raw. I really didn’t expect it to leave me in tears. Jasmeet has evolved and grown sm, it feels so wholesome like we’re growing up with him :,)
I'm proud of you Jasmeet. You as a person, your soul, your being matters first and foremost. I appreciate your honesty and integrity. It took great courage to self reflect and step away to protect your self. Keep staying true to who you are. Your values, and morality are beautiful to witness. Sending lots of love and respect your way. Not many were able to do what you did. Wishing you fulfilment and joy ahead. For you & all of yours. 🤲🏼
Being able to admit an excess of wealth not only takes maturity but is so real and not something talked about in this climate on consumerism and capitalism
as soon as the vid started and i saw him walking down to the coffee shop, i felt my heart strings being tugged on and i started crying because he makes me remember and miss the good old days and how great those times felt 😭😭💔 tragic. the atmosphere, the way things and people were and how everything worked, loved it, i get taken back and i feel so sad it's gone. times will never be the same. we experienced the last of it in this age. wish i could go back and i wish so much of my time wasn't wasted on trauma and rapid advancement of everything. makes the loss feel more significant and like what was lost was so much farther in the past. things have changed SO DRASTICALLY in just 5 years that this world isn't the same anymore. we've lost so much. and i'm all for change, i don't resist it. this shift, though a lot of it was good and necessary, just took things way too far. it should have halted at 2021.
Loved this - nice to see your personal growth, journey, maturity, and humility as the years have passed! I remember meeting you randomly at a McDonalds at Piccadilly Circus, London while I was attending grad school in the UK nearly a decade ago and you were gracious enough to take a picture with me and share some small talk & laughs. You provided alot of laughs & subtle comedic commentary which have always been especially relatable for the South Asian Community in North America. I'm excited to see your new creative endeavors and binge watch Late Bloomer once its available in the states. God Bless Brother and may you continue to progress to success!
Thanks for taking us back to your town and sharing that story with us. I am in awe of how you responded to the folks who equate anything outside Jesus as the "devil". Your analogy was on point. Thank you.
7:40 you can tell who is canadian and who is not lol. Jus is just wearing a jean jacket with sweater and is chill and the other guy has hoodie, beanie, long jacket and is shivering
This is a deep interview. He has made some valid points. He realised how life is a lot more valuable and tbh he has taught us a lesson too realise the value of life
With this interview, I understand how I will never probably never see another Jusreign video. I know I should be supportive towards his change, but a large part of me feels sad that it won't happen again.
Wow what an incredible interview! We missed you so much and it’s understandable why you had to pause! So much can be said thank you for showing us the beauty of pausing to regroup oneself. Love your work it not only speaks to the experience of southeast Asian but there’s a lot of overlap to us from Africa! Thanks again 🙌🏾
Love that you got this done… and what an essential part of this video goes to yasser too so big up ya self both of you! Late bloomer was awesome and this was a great watch😊
This story is from LA in 2014/2015. I understand what he’s saying about his values were changing and the money was changing him. One of my friends went to an event to meet him in person after being a super huge fan for so long. And I heard she was super disappointed because he just hung in one corner with a ton of security. Also he only let half or mostly naked women in the security circle to say hi to him. He didn’t even smile the whole time or give any respect to any fan. My friend completely lost her likeness for him. (6:00) but, we are all capable of change and it’s amazing he’s taken the time to do the inner work.
You can tell in this interview he is so blatantly woke. Woke people always act sanctimonious like they are on a higher moral pedestal and more enlightened. They also tend to be hypocrites who are shallow, superficial and snooty in reality. He's not physically attractive either so I'm sure his financial success makes him think he belongs with hot girls only. His entire identity and personality revolve around being brown and all his victim-hood. If brown people complain about “South Asian representation” and they live in Guelph, Milton, Brampton, Mississauga, you have to seriously be on drugs cause our people are literally everywhere lol! Definitely racism still exists here and there and ignorant people will always be around... but we have it 1000x better than what African Americans faced during the civil rights era of the 50s and 60s. Jasmeet complains he doesn’t have the same resources as the U.S. … dude, if the writing is intelligent and witty, people will watch (case and point, Schitt's Creek, or Bend it like Beckham - which is shocker..A movie about the struggles of a brown Sikh girl). It doesn’t have to be some big budget type show. Now he has a ready-made excuse when the show fails. 1) Not as much resources as white people and 2) Racism. This dude takes himself waay too seriously
Thank you so much for sharing your process. Happy you're at this space and able to articulate-it on your terms. The transparency and vulnerability is so admirable. CourageReign.
LOVE U KING, don't put pressure on yourself, we love your videos and creativity and your storytelling. I grew up watching your videos all throughout high school, it was such a source of joy and escapism. Take time for yourself but man are we happy to see you back!!!
Hey jus, First of all a very hearty congratulations on such a great success of the series late bloomer. Looking at you being back in the scene just couldnt make me any more happier. I was 12 or 13 when I started watching your videos and still laugh whenever I watch them again. I remember showing your videos to every friend, brother or sister of mine, even my parents. Your videos have helped me laugh through really tough times and whenever I watch them again the 13 year old boy comes back and I am sure you have touched countless lives just like mine. I don't know if I can be of any use to you but it will be a pleasure to connect. My parents are in Guelph and I will be in Canada soon. I just hope I meet you and give you a hug brother. It's really sewa in its true sense what you're doing, good to see you back and all the best wishes to you ahead, love you❤.
WOW... I've been wondering! Like damn, the sheer amount of times you cracked me up and made my day with all those videos... much appreciated, I've been quoting all that stuff. Good to have you back.
I am so HYPED! Jasmeet, your storytelling has been what brings me back to your videos over and over again, years later; the way you express pain and love in your videos is unrivaled. I can’t wait for you to take that South Asian flavor of existential dread that is the hallmark of JusReign and bring it to the epic level of television. You got this, Jasmeet! Now to figure out how to watch this show legally as an American so you can get paid…
What a sensational interview! Loved it and it's great to see an upload from the JusReign channel. Absolutely loved Late Bloomer and can't wait to see what Jasmeet gets up to next.
Of all the videos I've ever watched, JusReign has always prevailed as unforgettable, and something you always go back to. Come back, bro. We've missed you!
3:27 "Being a human, being connected" highly relatable unplugging is the best. 28:30, the stuff in the home possibly being triggering is soooo reallllll It is so lovely to hear this full story and your changes from youtube to crave tv. Glad to see you posting this here, GLAD YOU ARE BACK (even if brief).
