Russell Peters Reveals Why He Was Never on Letterman
Full video here: • Video
“I would either kill or bomb. There was no middle ground.”
In this fun clip of the Jordan Peterson Podcast, Jordan, Mikhaila, and guest Russell Peters talk about his beginnings in comedy, being a Canadian Indian comic, transition to fame, his travels all around the world, local comedy club pay practices, being randomly recognized on the street, talking to people, navigating the industry, sticking his foot in his mouth, failure and much more.

Same here. I've been watching Russell Peters for well over 12 years and only learned about Jordan Peterson a year ago (and am a huge fan!) It reminds me of the line used on*Seinfeld:* - *_"Worlds Collide"_* :-D
That special that blew up Russell's career was huge for me and a lot of young adults I knew. We were all quoting it in conversation. A lot.
Russell Peters is the nicest famous person I've ever met. He's a legit good dude.

love the recent interviews with funny people like Schulz, Arbor and Peters. so great to see Dr. Peterson smile. some great content lately!
It,’s so nice to see Mr Peterson laugh! And Mikhaila is so pretty. Love Russell Peters - saw him live in Malaysia years ago - he was a hit here 😂
Thank you Dr. Peterson for everything you do for society, and congratulations to you and your family on recovery. Good Comedians are some of the most insightful members of society, and I think Norm MacDonald would be an amazing guest. P.S.- many of us would react to seeing you the same way you reacted to seeing Trudeau. God Bless you Jordan
The is the most unexpected crossover 🤣😀🤣
Russell Peter is amazing, in every way!! I have always love his shows.👍🙏 He really is a 🌟 star.

Did you think the Hollywood f leftist crowd doesn’t know how to manipulate? Their currency is fear. They deal it like candy..akin to a commodity on the stock exchange. Aka “tried by fire produces the finest gold” as Mr Russels pointed out. Lol
I’ve always like Russel Peters. He has single handily changed the general perceptions of cultural differences of a generation. Ie caucasian North Americans. He is one of those real people. And this interview was really well done. A good laugh is like a good cup of morning coffee. Perfect! I must also say your rating with the you tube crowd is rare. At 3 % dislikes we can recognize a hope for good humour and consequently humanity. Lol Thanks

Nice polar conversation, with the most serious guy on one side and the funniest guy on the other..!!
I haven't been closely following Jordan's rehab experience but to me he looks so much more healthy in his outlook here (cheeks have a different colour?) and perhaps a little less deep in terms of psychoanalysis with Russell who is a little outside his normal guest.
Great job Jordan...
Didn't know! Jordan Peterson is a great interviewer
The hardest part about being a common individual and meeting someone extremely famous. Is coming to the realization who that person is and not pissing them off by acting a fool. Met quite a few famous folks, treat them like a regular person. Most of them enjoy that I repeat most, because some are just flat fake, or extremely ugly inside.
Love Russel!! I was 17 when I saw him for the first time at YukYuks in Toronto lol, don’t ask how I got in 🤣. Went back consistently hoping to see his set again!!!
