Jim Carrey as an uncle would be the most insane thing to have
I kno! Like you hide everytime you see him, and whenever he catches you, he tells you a bad joke and tickles you lol 😹😹😹😹 Embarrass you in front of the entire family including your gf/bf he can’t stop bragging on 😂😂
Sw yeah! Then when he gets you alone he gets all serious and starts trying to pull ur pants down looking you dead in the eye saying "this will be our little secret"
🤣
Ok that got out of hand so quickly 🤣🤣🤣
@@coolstorybro4378 oh god lol
man I love this guy. can’t believe he’s 58. Still has his young personality
Wow... He's a comedic genius
He looks more like 78
Eat mushrooms 🍄
He's young at heart.
@@davidgilmour5429 ZING!
Jim Carrey never lost the child within.
Imagine him as an insurance salesman
No he just takes other children and does what he wants with them on Epsteins Island.
@@debjackson7660 i don’t think jim does that stuff
@@debjackson7660 nah i think u mean dan schneider
This man never fails to make me both laugh AND cry in a single appearance.
Thank you for your love and support
Facts
This man is a legend. I would absolutely love to meet him in person.
I met him in person when he was the commencement speaker at Maharishi University in Fairfield, Iowa. It was fantastic. He is genuinely appreciative of life, people and entertaining us. He shook my hand and held on as I told him how much joy he has brought to my children from his movies. Then as he walked away he turned around again and gave me a second look, smiling with fascination. 🤩
SW627 Ask him yourself.
I want to meet him real person
JOR HELL Are you ok sir?
Lindsay Wescoat Oh lord. I didn’t even see his comment. Some people I swear. lol
He doesn’t act, he just is himself
Himself with a mask on ;=)
He definitely is acting. It's a learned character, you can tell he's a very serious dude.
Acting
no he is perfection
Oh he acts, go watch Truman show, the majestic or number 23. I agree that he doesn't have to act to be funny or entertaining but he can still act.
5:01 if you’re looking for that “Then I got pissed off” moment. Lol
Anyone else cry when he talked about being grateful waiting to die?
yes :) it was a moment for sure!
Um...no, not really
No, but I really appreciated him as a human in that moment. Shows the kind of man he is. Ultimately solid and humble.
Crying for the rich elite is a waste of tiem
@@the7A7dude do you realise than even the worst of people are human? And even then Jim Carrey isn't an "elit", he is just an actor who made it big in Hollywood and didn't change bc of that.
Jim Carrey is the definition of ‘crazy cool’
Haha
Energetic kid that discovers a camera is pointed at him. 🙂🙃😉😛🤪🧐🤡🥳🙋💁🙆🙅🏃🤸🤸🤾🤾🤼🤺
he's the only qualified person to portray (which he did) the riddler
True! Imo Goldblum is fancy cool, Snoop Dogg is chill, Jim Carrey is crazy cool ! Who is "cool cool", like oldschool calm, quiet, collected, looking sharp, confident...? Who is that guy for you?
Insert Jim quote here...
This man is the physical embodiment of serotonin. Never stop Jim Carrey.
he actually seems very depressed. it’s not easy always being “happy and funny” all the tome
Yeah he looks depressed 😔
Uh hardly, he's publically stated he's been on meds for depression.
Aidan Hannah as a medical professional who has struggled with both depression and anxiety.... things are not always as they appear (actually they rarely are). Most people think I’m the epitome of happy and only a few know how I struggle. I’d be considered social, extrovert, joking...but it’s a survival skill I learned a long time ago. Some of the happiest appearing people truly are struggling. Don’t fall for the facade. Same with many of my patients. I’ve seen behind the mask.
@@AaronNazzy he said he stopped trying to impress people long ago because it isn't him. he learned how to be himself
you can tell Jim is just playing around to see how many fake laughs he can get out of Jimmy
Lol fr it’s funny
Lol
I think Jimmy is quite polite and he rises to the ocassion
Fake? Nobody fake laughs when it comes to Jim Carrey.
Good catch
Love this dude!
Yoo ur the comedian that was on tv
You have a similar kind of light, Preacher. Happy to see another talent getting well-deserved recognition:)
OMG YESSSSS HI Preacher Lawson :D
Imagine you meeting Jim Carrey
How can you not ???
So refreshing to see a celeb like Jim sitting in a regular mom’s kitchen with a dishwasher from the 90s. He seems to be really grounded.
Yes! And a simple, plain white, modest-sized refrigerator too... Whereas most celebs are trying to keep up with the Joneses by buying the biggest, fanciest, technology-filled stainless steel appliances and gadgets. Or those crazy huge refrigerators that are built into the cabinets and take up an entire wall!
You can tell there’s a green screen behind him. Blurry around his body in some spots. He was on Epstein island..
Bri B it amazes me how people can’t see what is going on
@@terriburrosskistner1268 thought he was woke
@@terriburrosskistner1268 wdym
Jim Carrey went through a list of gratitudes when he thought life was goung to end in 10 minutes. No fear, just peace and acceptance. Wow!!
I've always love Jim Carrey, he is one of the few real people on Hollywood and he deserves this recognition!
True man !
I like that's he's not sitting in some ridiculously over the top kitchen. He's just chillin w a white dial dishwasher. Hopefully at some remote location in some kind of paradise
Being remote isn’t always a paradise.
Bet the house looks nice still
Hey fan thanks for your love and support as a fan towards my career I really appreciate....it nice having you as a carrier and supportive fan of mine thanks once again much love 🌹🌹
He looks so healthy, it makes me happy. :)
Have you seen his amazing paintings?? Catch Commedians in Cars Having Coffee with Jerry Seinfeld. First season first episode. He huge studio is full of amazing paintings.

i live in hawai'i, can verify that the false missile alert was terrifying
Same.
kate thats what technolgy gives you. You follow every word a cellphone tells you, even if its fake... People have to wake up. This shit is gaining control over all our lives
Broxine oh so you dumb dumb
Broxine, the federal government investigated and found that in January 2018, the civilian warning officer believed that the threat was real. If we didn’t have cell phone alerts, the civil defense sirens would have gone off instead. My house is next to a recreational park where lots of families cheer on their children on Saturdays. The roads became like a scene out of the movies with vehicles speeding and folks ignoring traffic laws. Most of us at home just accepted that it was going to happen. You call your loved ones and wait for the flash. Then nothing happened.
I can't even imagine. Can you describe your experience if you're comfortable? Because I heard about it but never from people actually living there. Jim carrey at least tried to get off the island but for people who lived their whole lives there it must have been devastating. Like if someone told me you had 10 minutes to live I have no idea what I would do. Probably spend it with family and ask forgiveness from them. Then pray till the last moment.
Jim Carrey needs a youtube channel like yesterday Lol
It would cross million subscribers within first 24 hours for sure.
Jim Carrey is one of the reason my depression broke his funny acting cracks me up he's the coolest funniest guy bless him
I love him doing Sammy Davis Jr.
The man gets criticized for "over-acting" all the time but who gives af, that's why we love him!!
Yeah he's a great but couldn't work around him. Look up the stories.
His 'over acting' is who he is!!! It's part of his personality. He's a riot!
And we do love him.
@@mith2946 Looked it up and first story was from the guy who worked with him in Sonic the Hedgehog... He had nothing but a great experience working with Jim on that movie.
@@Jason-wc3fh Look up Jerry the King Lawlers story from working with him on the Kaufman film.
Jim Carrey's really turned the wacky dial to MAXIMUM for this interview. Classic.
Seems like the regular Jim Carrey to me ... same as ever LoL
Heeey! Wacky Bruce!
For this interview!?
Couldn't have said it better
He's usually like that- kind of like how Robin Williams was always "on"
That missile alert was no joke. Probably won’t ever forget that moment.
Yeah, sort of like Lot talking to the heathen of Sodom. You are a panic stricken asshole or a dramatist for sh*t.
Sh*t happens, time to get over it. It was an accident.
@@noneyerbidness some lolo caused half the island to think they were gonna die, that's bad lol. an accidental death threat to 500k people

@@PearlJamAndBiscuits facts
I feel people are missing his off-the-bat joke about buying a cabin in Montana from a guy named Kaczynski, referencing the Unabomber who built his bombs in a remote cabin in Montana.
You mean to say you almost missed the joke?
@@cchurchill503 I actually did the first time around
Thank you...'cause I really didn't understand the reference. This is why I like the comment section.😊
I didn’t get why that was funny until you filled us in. I had forgotten the details of the Unibomber. Jimmy got it. Those guys are so smart!!
LMAO You’re explanation was my meat in the legs moment.
Jim Carrey movie marathon this quarantine makes feel better and his iconic facial expressions are still the BEST! 🤪🔥
Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events is the craziest hehe
Hey GOOD IDEA!! 🦸♀️💣💥
I was there too! They also had it on every TV station with an emergency broadcast telling us with this computer voice sounding like a guy saying, That a missile was inbound to our location and would strike land or see within minutes take a mediate shelter, blah blah blah, and then it just kept repeating 😱 Nobody I was with freaked! But definitely pissed off that we decided to pick that week to go to Hawaii, lol. But when we found out that we weren’t about to die, best day ever!!! I partied from morning to midnight. I even have a T-shirt that says I survived a ballistic Missile attack and has a picture of a ballistic missile and the date that we “almost” all died.
Lol I wanna shirt like that xD

Yes! Jim Carrey, Jennifer Lopez, and Jessica Alba all appeared on Jimmy Fallon’s show and still managed to look ✨amazing✨ when the majority of the rest of the world looks like crap on Zoom. Lol😆
I love Carey. He wants nothing more than to make others happy. He seems extreme because he is so comfortable with his existence and understanding of truth. Most don't get it. So they don't get him.
I love you too ❤️

He had an awakening. I’ve had one two altough I’m at a different stage of the process but I know exactly what he feels like with all that energy love and bliss flowing through his body like being electrocuted by the universes most heavenly taser
Could you imagine a full movie with Jim Carey and Will Ferrel? The behind the scenes would be what I would want to see.
That would be awesome
Please let this happen! I would be howling with laughter! 😆
There is no other comedian on this planet who makes me crack like Jim Carrey. What's more interesting about him is behind the comedic rendered exterior he is deep and sarcastic to the finest point.
Sunny when he say allllll righty then or Loser i die laughing every time
Yes he has a beautiful sense of humor. I think if that’s our take away, we gained the most important thing. Being funny(humor itself) is two things - it’s selfless and often times our own perfect distraction.”

Antidisestablishmentarianism You can't just invent new words and pop them into the dictionary later on, ... and besides, anything to do with medical jargon or scientific jargon is cheating!
Its a lung disease caused by tiny particles of volcanic ash entering the respiratory system...
Fun tip: learn your Greek and Latin prefixes and suffixes. I had a teacher who made us memorize a slew of them and it is an invaluable shortcut to knowing what words probably mean when they pop up in front of you without having to memorize scores of obscure words you will rarely if ever need. I looked at this word and it took me literally less than the time a google search would have taken to accurately guess the meaning. Knowing some of the building block words is just SO useful!
A lung disease cause by silica dust from a volcano
You are wrong true one is PneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoKoniosis K big because of wrong letter 😋😲😣🤔
Jim Carrey is one of two things in his interviews- either over the top happy “acting” or somberly serious. Great actor and I hope he is genuinely happy.

Great interview!! Jim Carey....so hilarious and genuine! Love seeing him sharing his authentic self and keeping the energy flowing. Such a great human being! 🙌🏼☀️💛

WOW THE FACT JIM CARREY AND I EXPERIENCED THAT MISSILE ALERT TOGETHER ON THE SAME ISLAND MAKES MY WHOLE LIFE (ever though it was so traumatic).
Did you deal with it the same way and came to terms with it?
How did you deal with it?
when was this? it sounds terrifying. I don't remember hearing about that!??
meree J It was last year I believe. A guy who works at Hawaii did it on accident. The computer the guy was operating on was outdated. He tried testing the emergency missile alert notification system but to do so he had to click on a drop down menu. The drop down menu had “Emergency Test” and “Emergency” in the same menu. The guy selected the wrong one on accident. All of Hawaii thought they were going to die.

Inspirational! I have family that we’re there on Oahu. They remember hearing people running around and talking loudly. They decided to bring their kids into their living room and said a family prayer of gratitude. What a surreal experience to go through.
Jim Carrey was on fire in this interview
"All I was planning to do was close my eyes and be thankful"......wow, that's so insane to get a rare view of what goes thru someone's mind before they die and we just got to see what Jim Carrey was.
That was so beautiful. Thats the best way to go. Happy.
jimmy fallon laughing is somehow getting even faker.
Seems more genuine to me
What u want him to do end up like ellen respect him the only real one out here
What?? There’s nothing fake about his laugh? You on drugs?!?
His laughs here are genuine but yeah I know when he is fakin
Someone who does impressions have many laughs doesnt mean they're faking

@@Broxine to an extent, I agree with you. When I first saw the text, my first thought was that it was fake or a mistake. I don't have cable TV, so I turned on the radio. What got my hairs up was that one station was playing a recorded emergency broadcast....but it was only one. So I called a friend who I knew had cable TV....he was in public and said people were panicking. He told me loved and hung up. That's when I began to really worry, but by that time, we got notice it was a mistake.

Jim: “Did you get fat during quarantine?” Jimmy: (Obviously fatter) “Haha. Yeah!”
Jim carrey has influenced my weird side SO much. And he is such an incredible artist. Im so thankful for this crazy guy
My dad lives in Hawaii, basically the whole state shit their pants.
The whole experience was TERRIFYING for many people! It happened on Saturday, January 13, 2018 at 8:07 a.m. Imagine everyone’s cell phone alarms 🚨🔊BLARING (which sounded like an Emergency Broadcast or AMBER Alert alarm) plus this message in ALL CAPS: “EMERGENCY ALERT BALLISTIC MISSILE THREAT INBOUND TO HAWAII. SEEK IMMEDIATE SHELTER. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.” Initially, I thought maybe it was either fake or some kind of SPAM text sent just to my phone. But when I discovered that ALL my family and other friends received it too, then I was more concerned. We texted/called family members who live on different islands to say we loved them. Then we went down into our basement - which is the only place in our house made of cement bricks - got on our hands and knees, and prayed. 🙏 Crazy feeling to think you have only a few minutes to live. Lots of thoughts rush through your mind. In the meantime, we also turned on the TV to see if there was any news about it, but there wasn’t anything. That’s when we started thinking maybe it could be an error/false alarm. My friend - whose husband is a police officer - verified fairly quickly that it was indeed a false alarm. The really disappointing and unfortunate part about this whole thing was that it took the state 38 whole minutes to send out another notification to let everyone know it was a false alarm. So for many people, they were in UTTER FEAR and TERROR for over half an hour!!! And when people are in that state of mindframe and shock, every minute seems like eternity. • The protocols at Hawaii’s emergency management system were, quite frankly, embarrassing. There was no system of checks and balances in the process - It took just 1 person’s misinterpretation/mishearing (human error), and that 1 individual had the ability to send out that crazy ⚠️ warning message to the entire state! • On top of that, this certain individual was already “on watch” because this was not the first time he “confused” drills with real world situations. There were at least 2 other incidents in the past when he made mistakes during drills and thought they were real (hurricanes and fires.) • The wording of their drills was written very poorly. It said over the intercom: “Exercise, exercise, exercise... This is NOT a drill... Exercise, exercise, exercise.” So I could see how someone could get confused if they did not hear everything clearly. • In order for the HIEMA to be able to send a second correction message, they had to jump through many hoops to fix their mistake. So basically there were minimal protocols and it’s SUPER EASY to send out a false missile alert... but then it’s SUPER DIFFICULT and there are tons of protocols to follow in order to try to correct a mistake. • Our Governor also said he couldn’t Tweet to let the public know that it was an error because he “forgot” his Twitter password. We also heard from friends and on the news that it was more chaotic outdoors. People were literally putting their young children INTO MANHOLES to seek protection underground in storm drains. People were also driving like maniacs on the road. Chaos and utter fear spread like in those apocalyptic movies. What happened was so unfortunate, but in a way, it was a good wake up call for everyone: 1) We obviously need to fix a lot of protocols at HIEMA (Hawaii’s Emergency Management Agency.) 2) People - myself included - need to wake up and be more prepared in advance in case real emergencies occur in the future. Do you and your family have an emergency plan? (hurricane, fire, flooding, nuclear warfare, etc.) Do you have enough emergency supplies to help you increase your chances of survival? (food, water, batteries/solar powered energy sources, shelter, transportation if needed, first aide kit, medicine, etc.) 3) We should truly be grateful for each day we have to live. Never take anything for granted. Live each day to the fullest. Always treat others with kindness and let all your family and friends know how much you really love them.
@@AA-ep1ri no one man should have all that POWER
@Aerochalklate - Exactly! Especially when that 1 person was already known to have made many critical errors in the past too. That’s why there should always be some kind of checks and balances in any system. I mean I do feel bad for the guy. He didn’t do it on purpose. But when you’re dealing with that kind of important position where the public is relying on you to be accurate, you have to step up your game. They said when he realized he had made an error, he completely froze up and didn’t know what to do to fix the situation. Other people had to take over for him and do his job in order to send out the second alert that it was just a false alarm. Poor guy though was receiving death threats and everything. Had lots of upset Hawaiians and Samoans going after him.
@@AA-ep1ri Yeah thats Bs, he should definitely be put in another position but he doesn't deserve harassment and threats. Lord knows ive screwed up on the job.
@@enmenergy Toilet paper, spam, and rice i would assume 🤔

Bri B why arrested? ;-;
@@chloeisrlycool i was also wondering the same thing😱
he is just the best
Facts 💯💯
I don’t think I’ve appreciated Jim Carrey enough, but now that he’s retired it’s nice going back to his films and realizing just how important he was and is to my childhood. Him and others like Keanu Reeves, or Robin Williams. Are all one in a billion people and we’ll never see others like him or others of his grandeur of not only acting, comedy, but also just general kindness as human beings. Thanks for the memories and the good times!
I rewatched Jumanji on Christmas and I felt like a child again. Robin Williams has a lot of Scorpio placements in his birth chart. He was burdened with things he could only express through emotions via his acting and comedy, rest in peace. as for Keanu he had a lot of cancer in his chart. The water element is the most common thread between the two. also I was living on Oahu at the time this missle crisis happened, I was asleep and woke up to the alerts in my phone. so thankful to still be here.
Praying for Jim’s heart and mind. Can’t imagine what he’s seen and been tormented by behind the scenes in Hollywood

If my last minutes was on a beach with Jim Carrey I would be OK with it
"The one and only"...best description for this man! Love him!
Awesomeness. He always reminds me of my dad, bcuz I watched all your films 100x next to my dad who passed. Thank you Jim Carrey. Xo
They need to addd a “love” button for videos like this one... it would have more love than thumbs up!!
It feels weird seeing Jim Carey acting like a normal person after I watch him on dumb and dumber
Did you know that the chipped tooth that he had in the movie was real? He just has a cap on all the time but for the movie he thought it would be better to look dumber.
I love this man from all my heart❤ something is so pure about him👍
When I see Jim Carrey anywhere/anytime I’m filled with joy. Quality human being.
6:03. Honestly. There has never been anyone like Jim. Not even him. I’m pretty sure it’s all a construct of my imagination.
Robin Williams was very similar. Always moving, joking, voices, expressions.
Jim Carrey is one of my top 10 comedians he's on a whole other level.
This two guys made me laugh in an ordinary talking. These might be two of the greatest comedy artists set up together in one video conference. I love you guys. Jimmy and Jim. Thank you for all the laughs.
God bless. Im so inspired by Jim Carrey story of his missle test scare.
I love Jim Carrey, I have forever now I am so happy to see him happy. Such a good soul.
I absolutely love you, Jim Carrey, you are fascinating. You are a real peryou are funny. You are spiritual. I love everything about you. Keep doing what you're doing.
No filter and all confident. What doesn't he know or do? Complete genius.
Thank u for talking about the fake Hawai’i missle test! I love hearing that Jim did the same thing as many Native Hawaiians did during that frightful time...got on our knees, thanked Akua (God) for His blessings and felt gratitude for living in such a magical place called Hawai’i nei! We aloha u Jim!
Jimmy Fallon seems more enthusiastic about interviews he does during quarantine than he was before.
