'"Were you a good student?" "I was the valedictorian". Mic drop. Dude is talented AND smart.
He was a varsity athlete and attended Vanderbilt for bio-engineering. He dropped out to pursue music. He is all these things, AND a genuinely good and decent person. Some people are just blessed, he’s one of those people.
My brother from another mother passed almost 3 years ago now .. the only song he ever sent me was Chris’s song about friends and friendship .. when my heart hurts and I miss him I pull it up on my play list and it reminds me how much he really did care even if he wasn’t capable of saying so himself .. thank you for giving me somethin to hold onto from my brother it’s a small thing that now means so very much . Don’t ever stop performing or writing , your music touches so very many ❤
Thank you for sharing this. My brother from another mother passed a few months ago. I appreciate knowing how someone else is walking the road afterwards

His music has spoken to people in so many different ways and given them unexpected gifts to treasure, myself included. I am glad you have this.
I'll say it again, If you want Real, you can't get anymore realer than Chris Stapleton!! Of course, He's an amazing Artists. His music speaks to your heart. But, He's also MORE than a Musician. Chris, Thank You for also being one of the Kindest, Humble, Realest, down to earth humans EVER!! We need more Chris Stapleton's in our world. You're a Beautiful talented musician. Thank you for giving us Real, Raw emotional, & upbeat music. Thank You Chris Stapleton, for being an inspiration!! You're a national treasure!! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!! 💜💜
I urge you to give a listen to his previous band, Steeldriver. Even if you don’t care for bluegrass, I think the lyrics are next level.
I am a huge fan of Chris Stapleton since his first album and appearance on SNL. I was thrilled to see that the few people that weren't familiar with him, pretty much broke the Internet to check him out after he sang the national anthem at the SB. Despite his brilliant talent, he struggled iniitially being a front man with a bit of stage fright. Years later, it's great to see him having fun with Jimmy Kimmel and killing it on a recent SNL skit. He is incredibly talented, but remains surprisingly humble. If you haven't, check him out!!
Anybody else love Chris stapleton
I am not a huge country fan anymore but obviously love his songs.... I was NOT AWARE of Chris Stapleton's goofy kind brilliant soul ❤❤❤
If you haven't already, you should check out this past week's SNL. He was the guest music host and also appeared in a sketch or two. Hilarious guy!
@@Christi6746he was so funny, right? I was shocked! I had no idea who he was and he came on and acted so perfectly and was SO funny. Makes sense he was his high school valedictorian. He’s probably a genius
Play Cold… it’s soulful ❤
Love him. His voice touches something in my spirit. Just lovely
Chris is a funny guy and it's nice to see him open up more and hear him laugh. Oh, and he can sing, too. 😁
Yaassss❤❤❤ Luv Chris Stapleton!!!! His voice is full of soul❤
Chris is a beautiful guy and LOVES HIS WIFE WITH ALL HIS HEART!!💞 ABSOLUTELY LOVE HIS VOICE!!💯☝️🎤🔥🎶💞🫂🤗😘🥰🌟❤️🌟
Not a country music fan but this guy has an amazing voice!👏👏👏
But Chris Stapleton is not totally country in probably not even have of his music is considered country he does a lot more Blues in my humble opinion
I (wasn’t) a country fan. Am now lol
I’m amazed by the humbleness, honesty and kindness that this guy emits…
What a BOSS! Since the first song I ever heard, THIS is what country fans have been missing. An old school, true country/blues singer-songwriter. Humility just makes him more lovable. And Valedictorian?! Shut the Front Door! A national treasure, for sure. ❤
On this show April 17 great monologue, probably one of the best I’ve ever heard. And Chris Stapleton was fantastic with the John Stamos tribute. Bravo ❤
Chris is such a genuine guy and a really good sport ..what talent !!
You definitely deserve more recognition for this!
I'm not a new school or corporate country guy but I like this guy - real talent by any and all definition. Glad to see he is seeing a broader audience. Nice Jimmy. Will take a look at the Whisky too.
I ❤ Chris Stapleton. Even he sounds so good when he speaks 🤠
Yo yo yo yo yo yo I love this guy Tennessee whiskey
Such a cool guy
A Beard clean and trimmed in some manners is a Man`s Pride. Never ever talk bad about a Man`s Beard.
I think "trimmed" might be questioned in this case. But he's happy, she's happy, everyone else can stay out of it
Chris seems so genuine about his work and life. I have never been a big fan of country music but after listening to this man sing and play guitar ❤ thanks 🙏 brother for doing what it is that you do. Many Blessings
@ChrisStapleton is a fu(king boss! GOAT! Send whiskey 😂
Chris is so amazing. Totally love him
Is there anything that Chris Stapleton can’t sing ?????? Absolute greatness!!!!! Great Song !!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Bravo
I love his work with The Steeldrivers too.
We love chris Stapleton and jimmy kimmel
He is so humble ❤ So blessed to hear his music it touches your soul, Thank you sir 💞
Absolutely love him!
Stand-up, honest, kind guy.
Nice person! Very humble human being
Chris is so KOOL !! glad he is getting the well deserved recognition !
Very intelligent man,engineering student
I’m not into country but I really like this guy.
You've already achieved peak 'this guy looks like he owns a whiskey brand and plays country music'. Leave the beard as is!
Fire
Love the hat! Love the song too!❤
Love this song and his talk with Jimmy Kimball live.
I have zLoved his music sjnce the first vtime he sung on TV!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Now that’s a cowboy hat!!
He's 100 percent gonna pick Jamaica, where ian Fleming wrote most of the books, and where they filmed 2 of the movies on location
Chris Stapleton is indeed an expert because he stayed in tune despite the turn the lyrics took. I had a feeling John Stamos was in the green room and was on his way out. ...not to mention Trump still fuming about the Oscar Joke, that made my night. Altogether a great show.
First of all I'll say I love Chris Stapleton as an artist but why is he considered country? Then again he's more country than crap like Jason Aldean or Luke Bryant. But I say he's straight up southern soul rock and roll! Who else feels the same way?
Like a Diamond 💎 on today's garbage country music!
ME!!
I watch this you was amazing Chris Stapleton love you
His big hit Tennessee whisky.... the first hit. my deceased boyfriend used to have that on all the time ...I miss him I can't listen to his music without crying.😢 5:06
He's the best, and Morganne completes him perfectly. ❤
I wish Chris would have talked more. The questions were so rapid fire. He needed more air time!
My favorite country artist ❤
I love his music!
Love Country Music grew up with the good old boys and ladies..I love this song and think hes a true man family and children..think his wife should get alittle more recognized but this song says so much❤
Anyone else loves Kimmel
I love him and his music!
He was the valedictorian?! Omg that’s insane!
He's definitely a rocker❤
So, where is the video of Chris Stapleton singing the song he wrote for his wife?! 🤔🙄😶
Chris Stapleton is the man!
Chris Stapelton ❤
Omg 🎉❤ John Stamos keeps getting more handsome!! I need to know who he and Rob Lowe know in order to sign the never age badly pact. Good Lord that is a gorgeous man🎉❤ I’ll take older Uncle Jessie any day. I am buying greek yogurt today.
Love love Chris Stapleton best country artist in this generation.
it might be a mans world.. BUT IT TAKES A WOMAN
Chris Stapleton is awesome 💙🇺🇸💙🎶
A true American. Wears a hat.
Ahhh jimmy you should have ask Chris to sing what am I going to do

Amazing artist 🎼♥️♥️♥️🙏🏻🇺🇸

I wish he would give credit to Etta James' "I'd rather go blind"
no publican video de la canción?
Valedictorian!
Bert freed talk about Gregory peck
Are they going to post his performance on the new stage?
Seems so
@@LindaC616 Hasn’t been posted yet.
I guess not. That’s a bummer. Maybe it’s on Hulu.
@@TurtleTimeVoiceOvers it's on Chris's channel
@@LindaC616 Thanks. They uploaded it about 10 hours ago. It wasn’t uploaded to Kimmel or Chris’s channel when I commented (yesterday). 😉 Thankfully I found it on Hulu earlier today. It’s very strange that Kimmel’s people didn’t and still haven’t uploaded it. Especially since Jimmy was so proud of the new stage and Chris performing. Thanks again.
😂😊
Why haven't we seen/heard the song he was going to perform on the outdoor stage????
ain't no way that man in the picture was less than 30 😭
I wanted to hear the song.
Too funny… and I was going to offer to help you get more stylish than now even ! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 If you want, this service is Free As A Bird. lol. Seriously. I’m not joking. 😊 (Bmliberty)
Only a woman, can brighten up my day, hhyeahhh
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ dear jim kim and all good dear friends ❤❤❤❤❤
I never liked country until hearing that John Stamos song! WOW! I want him to do soulful country songs of other random bs.... doing laundry...tacos.... idc!
Please take care of your health Mr. Kimmel !
😂😂😂😂😂
5 years JK
A true Christian, bought a ton of needed stuff for EasternKentuckians during flood after a long blackout. He was promised attention, but man that spread fast to the Western part encouraging others to throw in donations
Jimmy loves the song it takes a women, but would he ever answer the question "what is a women 🤔 .would love to see that
Leave it to Chris to make Jimmy's lame show funny again.
😮 h.s. and now big difference.
I would guess that “stylish” would be kind of an insult to Chris Stapleton.
Wait, what?! But, Stephen Miller said Donald Trump is the Most Stylish. No obvious makeup for Chris, though...
Why would you take down an outdoor stage for covid ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
What a terrible interview of the greatest singer / songwriter of a generation. "Hey let's just poke fun of 1996"
Mind your own business 🎉
dont shave the beardddddddd
He looks like he smells just like old beef jerkey
gawd could JK be more sickening 🤢if not for CS no one would be watching
Why does Kimmel hate Trump so much?
We patriots ALL despise Trump for dragging our country through the MUD and continuing to do so just for his own satisifactions.
I bet that hat stinks like rotten garbage.
It would stink on your head, but on his (smart) head that is not possible because smart and smelly do not go in the same sentence. The hat is cleaned in the same way as other clothes or you can have more than one so where is the problem ?
If Stapleton shaves his beard, we riot..
Jimmy Bimbo votes for a man in DEPENDS DIAPERS
No, that would be Dump.
