yah cause he killed his career after the Austin Powers series. The love guru was absolutely horrible, was there any successful movies he starred in after Austin Powers? The only thing I remember about the guy when he was actually still famous was that he showed his dick to Britany spears. The guys got one successful trilogy, the rest flopped.

Mike myers is one of my favorite actors of all time. Dude is a comedic genius and will go down in history as one of the greats. Love your work mike hope u keep coming out with more gold!!

I’m so happy that he’s mentioning all these really cool inspirations like Dave Foley (who is so awesome), Peter Sellers, Conan. All fantastic comedy guys!

Having my formative years of exposure to comedy being the era when Mike Myers, Chris Farley, Dana Carvey, Phil Hartman, Chris Rock, Norm, Adam Sandler, etc. were on SNL feels like a gift. So I’ve always follow these guys and their careers. It’s no secret that Mike has had ups and downs with his costars and career. But he genuinely feels like he’s back to what he used to be and loves to do. And I think a huge part of that was him making peace with himself and Dana Carvey. I feel like ever since he’s done that, he’s turned the corner. It makes me really happy for him.

I could watch 1000 hours of him doing bits as all his different characters! And when Mike does voices just melts me!! One of the best ever

Mike Myers is an absolute legend, one of the very best comedic actors of all time. And clearly a very smart cookie.

I’m incredibly glad to see Mike back after all this time and enjoyed the new show. It’s a fun, light, not to be taken too seriously show that also has a meaning. And it was fun to see the Ken Scarborough character being the quintessential nice guy on screen. The critics are taking themselves WAY too seriously. Let people have stupid fun.

It’s so fascinating to hear his analysis on comedy and his peers. He exhibits such intelligence that, after seeing some of his performances, almost takes you aback. I definitely admire the man and his passion for creation. He seems like such a powerful mix of comedic entertainment, drive, and intellect.

I'm actually so glad that Mike is a lot more reserved than your typical celebrity and only really steps out into the light when it involves something he truly enjoys. He's not all glitz and glamour, being followed by paps everywhere and broadcasting his life for the world. He's just Mike Myers, a dude that really likes to make people laugh and that's all that matters to him. Thank you Mike, for everything.

What an incredible talent and a really humble guy. I love that he spent a good time of this video lifting up and giving credit to some of his many co stars. A true professional!

Mike sponsored a boys and girls club that I attended in Ontario. My brother and I were selected to receive hockey game tickets provided my Mike. Ottawa vs Buffalo back when I was 6 or 7. He will have no idea how cool that was to us, our first game. We lived in poverty at the time and something like that would never have happened.

Wow, didn't know he was that deep, gonna watch it again. lots of great points

Worth looking at the early Wayne's World sketches where she briefly played Wayne's girlfriend.

Mike Myers was always a staple in my house growing up! My mom and I LOVED the Sprockets Dieter skits and all of his characters in the Austin Powers movies. I have the dvd that is Best of Mike Myers...pure gold! I'm 34 and know that I've witnessed pure talent and comedy at its finest through Mike. I love him so much! The Pentaverate is so hilarious! I wish my mom was still here so she could laugh with me!

Pentaverate is so great. It was incredibly refreshing to get a big dose of Mike's humor. I grew up seeing a lot of his work, and I don't think I realized till now how much I've been missing it recently. Love that fella.

Legend, would love to see him again with more of a KZread presence. It’s time! This man is hilarious. Also his accents are nearly flawless, I love that his dad was from Liverpool

I'm telling ya baby, that's not mine. Quartermaster Clerk : One warranty card for Swedish-made penis enlarger pump, filled out by Austin Powers. Austin Powers : I don't even know what this is! This sort of thing ain't my bag, baby. 😂😂😂 Austin Powers definitely one of my favorites. 😅😅😅👌🏼💯

I feel like it's been quite some time since I really saw Mike Myers doing his "thing." After watching the first episode of Pentaverate, I realized that whatever that spark was that he had back in the '90s that made him great is still present, and fully intact! It's great to see you again, Mike! (Watching So I Married Axe Murder was a tradition in my home on par with Christmas, so to be able to watch a show now that's spun from that movie 30 years later... Well, what a world we live in!)

This was needed and I didn’t even know it. I love mike meyers so much and am so glad to see him just sit down and talk. I hope he is encouraged to do sit downs more often we clearly all enjoy it and enjoy him in general!

I loved the new series! His characters in the Pentaverate are amazingly funny and incredibly different from each other in looks, speech, and mannerisms, as his characters always are! His characters are always the best part of his work, and the number and diversity of characters he played in this series truly showcase his incredible talent. Mike Myers is still a comic genius

He seems like such a genuine, glorious person. Wish we saw more of him. I would also love a Scouse character from him because I love when he does the accent. A genius!

I hope we get to see more of Mike in the coming years, its been a treat having him for this show.

He is such a professional and talented person. It was a joy experiencing The Austin Powers movies and laughing along side my family at the movie theater throughout my childhood. Thank you Mike Myers for sharing your talent.

I don't think about Mike Myers much these days, but his collection of iconic characters makes him impossible to forget. It's cool to hear about his interactions with so many other great comedic icons as well.

Strangelove was an absolute masterpiece of comedy, and drama; Being There was one of the greatest send offs; and The Life and Death of Peter Sellers is, by far, the best tribute.

I have to say this show was great Myers does it again 💯💯💯💯

hes so humble and honest, and always mentioning names of the people he learned from, national canadian treasure!!!!

This is so compelling. I could listen to Myers talk about comedy for hours.

After his long hiatus from film and the stories of being a terror to work with, I’m glad to see Mike back and hope that he brings the funny back with The Pentaverate.

I like that we all agree not to talk about “The C** in the H**”.

What an absolute Master Class in comedy. His genuine humility and admiration for his peers and others in the industry that helped him along the way, as well as a love and respect for his father, was very...comforting.

Mike really helped forge modern comedy. So unique and creative. They way he, Chris Farley, David Spade and Adam Sandler would bounce off of each other on SNL was unforgettable.
