Moving Forward Feat. Vir Das - Simple Ken Podcast | EP 37
Комедия
Having Vir on SimpleKen was a long time coming. I picked his brain on how he navigated through the initial days of his career, his support in the industry , how he deals with the constant press chatter and how he plans his steps ahead. A career that involves television, movies, music and stand up, An hour of conversation didn't feel enough. It was a great way to bring the new year in with a brand new episode.

I have about 200 questions to get through today and 14 hours of studying left, yet the minute this dropped, I stopped everything to take a breather. Vir was right, authenticity is something fans really honor because I wouldn't be doing this otherwise.

Totaly. Sooooo cute .. it's amazing that only we can understand the cuteness in this comment n I can't explain this to my family
23:38 Kenny says "...touchwood..." and Vir actually does it. Quite wholesome!
I liked watching kenny just fangirl over vir dass, just trying to absorb as much knowledge as possible
this man is so transparent with his art form, it is truly inspirational. Thank you Kenny for bringing him
The nice guy energy between both of them is so cute.
vir is an actual expert at what he does i teared up at the end of his new special just because i genuinely felt the love he had for this art form. this conversation was nice to listen to
Deep and intellectual conversations are so heartfelt.
At this point I have seen more Vir Das interviews/podcasts than comedy specials, still somehow this felt fresh and insightful. Kudos to Kenny for pulling this off !!!
My fav 2 comedians together chatting what a lovely day 🧡🧡
Consistency, preparation, and responsibility towards their audience - this seems like an overwhelming theme in this dialogue. Been a fan of Vir Das since the first time I listened to him. Thank you Kenny for this conversation and for this platform that you created!
Okay, this man doesn't look 43! But on a serious note, what a genuine and free-flowing conversation between my 2 favs!
Vir Das on Kenny's and Conan's podcast on the same day !! This is amazing
"At your worst, you still gotta seem prepared." Oh boy, that's my takeaway. 💯
My two best comedians in one frame. Thank you so much Kenny for inviting Vir.
To loosing to a guy in the start (unplanned) of your comedy carrier to having the same guy in your show. You have come a long way kenny. Proud of you 🙏
Vir is so damn hardworking man , always makes me feel like I'm not doing enough and motivates me to do more and better !
It was so good to hear about their lives! Listening to Vir was so thought provoking and inspiring. Great job Kenny! Two of my favourite entertainers 🌻🥹
25:13 - to answer Vir's "back me up here" - Not being a comic I enjoy watching when you walk into the green room. Amongst the people who have been doing comedy only recently - there's at least one person who does not know how to break the ice, and one person who wouldn't want to because they're just happy listening. Amongst the ones who've been in this for a while - everyone enjoys a good catch up session and it's chill but I can feel as Kenny said some "spine straightening" 🤣 Nobody wants you to have a last memory of them which would be anything other than - that one's cool. It's not like the school Principal has come to hang out but more like someone who can be a doorway to immense wisdom and experience in the field. Thanks Kenny for having this lovely conversation with Vir. It was a pleasure watching you guys talk at the shoot and watching it again on KZread. Lots of love.
I wanna see Kenny in a nice Bollywood movie before I die.. I think he's gonna be just amazing..
I never thought i'd say this is such a great episode! Feels like both of you have evolved so much over time. I wish more podcasts were this honest.
Yaay !! 🥂 to Simple Ken 🤗❣️ Love you for being you Kenny
I can watch this all day. No idea where an hour went by, god!
I missed this intro so much ♥️ I don't know how you find the time to work on videos when you're on a world tour. You really are something else! Amazing Kenny!😃 Love your dedication ! I don’t really know Vir Das but his last show on netflix was so intense! I respect him a lot for his opinions and for his courage. A fascinating guy. It was nice to see you together on screen. Thank you for this new episode :)
The nakedness and the authenticity Vir bhaiya brings to the table is commendable. Learned a lot from it. Very informative very freshing and very genuine and real talk. Loved it and love yaaa Kenny always🫀you were like the toppers kid who got a chance to sit with a senior who had taken an examination and now you have to go through the same. 😂😭 loved your curiosity and damn awesome content. Thenk youuu for this🙏
Oh my god!!! This is going to be awesome 😍😍
Two great legends in one room!
Having lunch and listening to this conversation! Just simple as it gets!
Kenny asking amazing questions as a learning blueprint for his own already great comedy + Vir's insightful answers as a seasoned veteran who is still learning and is not afraid to take risks is magic ❤️
More than his comedy, I'm a fan of Vir's Journey. 👏
❤️vir das.. in conversation with kenny....it's a blast....
Good to see Vir here, and it's always a pleasure to listen to you Kenny. The thing you said about the vibe pretence is so true.
Gold content, picking vir's brain is what I had been waiting on
Two of my favourites for whole one hour 🤌
I've been wanting to see you both together.... I love both of your works so much...
Loved this conversation! So nice to see my two favourites in one frame, getting along and being vulnerable
Two of my favorites in one frame ❤️
Sending love Kennyyy! I love this podcast. Amazing episode. Do one more with Vir! Non comic discussions with Vir can be super fun. Looking forward!
revisiting simple ken! sometimes I cannot relate to the conversations on here but listening to them helps me ponder on situations I would not normally think about and in some way have a better mindset and outlook on everyday life. Thank you for having different opinions on here, including yours, and putting these videos out there. Loved every second of this one :)
It's like seeing two worlds collide, my favorite comedians ❤
This podcast is like 2 professionals discussing standup technicalities, very interesting to hear and watch !!
I didn't know you had an episode with vir. Thank you for making this Kenny ❤ and for all your podcasts. They make adulting tasks much easier and I get to learn a lot about life in general. Keep doing this and much love
Last 20 minutes are so damn powerful.
This podcast is so simple and fun👏
Always wanted to comment and tell you how good you are! But never got around to doing it. Commenting now because this has been your best episode so far. You should have continued the episode till wherever it took you! It seemed like you’ll were having a great time and I’m sure I speak for all your fans when I say, so were we all ❤️ Two true icons :)
One of the best episodes 🤌❤️ Vir Das
Didn't know i need this so much
LOVE THIS
This was such an amazing and intersting conversation ❣️❣️ love how Kenny was like a student in a classroom with a legendary teacher..... I learnt a lot too❣️❣️ lovely it was
Glad Vir Das got to witness at least a small fanboy moment from a fellow standup! Great content.
Wwhhhhoooaaa my two fav comedians of all time having a podcast!!!! What a treat :D
I love love love this duo. More please :3
Two of the best ❤ love from Nepal 🇳🇵

@@KennySebastian The pleasure's all mine Kenny.. 😅 I most certainly watch everything you both upload on your respective channels.. 🤝🏼 Keep coming up with more of such amazing content bro 👍🏼👍🏼
Yesyesyesyes I jumped when you mentioned Malaysia in your tour list! I can’t wait for July, I’ll be there.
Damm ... All of I suddon why do I feel I was waiting for this.. 🤩😅
Oh wow! When did this happen? I am so sorry I missed it. I am definitely watching this. Right after finishing my work. My favourite comedians together.
I bet Kenny learnt just as much as the audience in this one
last question was great loved it
Such a deep & beautiful conversation between you two ☺️ Both of you are my favourite Made my day.. If you take my question thank you so much in advance. The question keep raising in my mind & I'm struggling to find the actual answer .. I'd like to hear your perspective .. on this.. How to not get stuck in past.. I mean past incidents.. trauma.. or even good overwhelming times.. that got stuck in your head and you're unable to get out of that bubble.. With time people changes.. situation changes.. and we know we have to get going but sometimes those things hold you back .. how to just let go & live freely?
Another lovely discussion. Thanks Kenny!
2 of my favourites in on frame❤
Lesgooooo Kenny is back!!
Loved it mahn
Woww two of my fav comedians together, what a brilliant long recording of you guys talking loved it
Dude. Loved the conversation ❤
Loved this
Was watching vir das interview on RANVEERs channel a few days back , and there was so much toxicity there. Everyone appreciating vir das in these comments is so nice and wholesome.

Same experience here. You can tell the intellect difference between kennies fans and Ranveer’s. Kinda sad tho cuz most of Ranveer’s fanbase is around the age I’m at. Teenagers
When 2 masters exchange words, simply just go with the flow..
Very inspirational!
My two favourites.
Omg yaaayyyyy
Vir is 43!?? Whatt!!??
Watching this after watching Netflix special of Kenny Sebastian and Vir Das, his( Vir Das )last bit wherein he shares "beaten up in boarding school with hockey stick " experience emphasising on Power of mic when he was 8 yo boy , had similar experience sir of beaten!!
my two favorite people
He started looking like ayushman both real .. artistsss vir came so far ..💜
"I'm taking you to Noida at the end of the day" should be on a t shirt, with the picture of a katta
Iconic
Big fan of Kenny from Sri Lanka ♥️
Maja aa gya. Paisa wasool episode.
Haven't seen a better interview!
Would love to see Kannan and Vir having a conversation about any random thing.

I didn't really know him before after 1hour4min, I love him
I can listen to vir for as long as he speaks
His Conan podcast is also coming out this week!
2000th like ! Great recording
Absolutely adore how respectful Kenny is to all his guests.
Oh This was such a heartfelt long recording of you guys talking! Thank you for being amazing!! And very insightful!!! I'm a poet and I've published an anthology, but to let people know about it's existence, I need to do Open Mics for Poetry or recond videos and post on social media, since that seems to be the marketing style right now, but as soon as the recording button hit, I get vert nervous and conscious and loose my voice, how do you think one can improve that? The fear of getting mocked, I hating looking at myself, and when you record you look at yourself, so it gets very weird. Any thoughts? #SimpleKen
Vir has had a great career, especially because it was made by scrubbing off overhyped unsmart poorly written jokes yet he came so far!! So inspirational!!

#simpleken I am Arya and i turned 21 yesterday and long story short i dropped out of school in 11th to pursue photography, 4 years ago it was a pretty new thing for me and i asked my friend for his dslr for a year and graciously he lent it to me and spent the year just roaming around delhi clicking photographs, at that time all i ever wanted to do was take photographs, travel and meet new people which is a very naive way of thinking but oh well i was invincible i thought i'll make it work somehow. Fastforward to 2021 got a job and signed a contract for architecture photography i travelled all over India and met new people. Basically everything i wanted to do when i first started doing photography but along the way somehow the joy of photography died. It wasn't fun anymore, just another job. What do you do when you feel this? How do you overcome and rekindle that feeling and excitement of creating again ?
SHUTUPPPPP0!!!!! i jumped watching this duo♥️♥️♥️🥺
