My heart is still broken that her sitcom got canceled. I think it's such a beautiful show and - I doubt Cristela will ever see this - but the show meant so much to me and I've lost track of how many times I've re-watched it. Thank you for creating it.
Me too!! She is amazing and her show was bomb!! I loved that she created it herself!
I JUST discovered her and she’s amazing!!!
I would give Cristela a 1000 thumbs up and a hug if I could 🤗
We discovered Cristela via Stand Up Revolution. (It's a bit of a toss-up between Cristela, Fluffy, and Jeff Dunham for our favorite currently touring comic.) We watched the entire run of Cristela, but we knew it was probably doomed because the networks frequently pass over the truly good shows. It's criminal that they never promoted it properly.
@@ldbarthel The net execs are REALLY out of touch sometimes. I think it's the same prob with investors that only care about short-term profits instead of long-term gains.
Man, I was in tears watching this interview. The love and admiration and adoration she had and STILL has for her Mom, just comes pouring out of her.
You are such a good example of Mexican Americans and how we think and act because of our upbringing and thank you for being so real.
Truth! I watched this and felt so proud that she was representing me as a Mexican-American.
She's deep yo...articulate, intelligent humorous, her sneaker game is dope too...
This girl is underrated.
She’s OVERRATED
This guy is a GREAT interviewer too. WHOA! He seems like a real person! 😆
That Frank Buckley is kind and intelligent soul
HES NOT A REAL PERSON???
this interview makes me love her even more
Really good interview, I like how he actually listens and allows her to fully express thoughts.
She's original and the sincere. Love her!
I adore this woman!
2021 here....what an AMAZING interview....loved her honesty and your understanding ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Sorry for your mom's loss Cristela! I lost my mom many years ago and I can relate! I hope after this interview, you believe that your mom is proud!
Sadly, I didn't even know about her show until it was canceled and on an airplane coming to the states from abroad. She's a genius, and it brings me pride as a fellow Mexican-American. You go, chica!
Asian American here. I found Cristela's Netflix special and stories of coming from an immigrant family to be so relatable, sharp, and hilarious. Absolutely one of my top favorite comics. Please never stop!
What Cristela says is reminiscent of the late great Eddie Guerrero who was asked in a wrestling interview once how he ALSO feels about Mexican-American stereotypes and when ppl say he is a stereotype but he says he’s NOT trying to fit a stereotype: he’s just being HIMSELF and you don’t have to like it if you don’t. BRILLIANT and honest answer from a great, smart man 😍
Cristela and Jessica Alba should play sisters in a sitcom!!!
Unfortunately Jessica is not latina enough
@@vtecispower she is half Mexicana
Thank you for your comedy sis!! Sharing your comedy has been medicine for me. And these networks KNOW you are golden! They just control what they want people to see and how they want to feel. Keep shining and we your fans will keep watching and supporting you!!!🤗❤❤❤😃
Love Cristela! I got to see her stand up about 5 years ago and she did a great job! I hope this is not the last we see of this very talented woman.
She's just getting started. Her humble beginnings are "home" to many even though not foreigners or illegals. Poverty and it's useful lessons are universal. Puts us way ahead in "the game" because we came from nothing and we can better handle the rough times in life.
The show was great and should have been on longer.
This was a very good interview on both sides ❤️❤️❤️
She would have been a better fit for “The Real”.
Esta chica es una chingona...that's all I'm going to say.
La mejora, bro, NOW that I heard of her!!!!
Everything about Cristela is amazing! You feel like you know her. I wish her nothing but success and a long, happy career!
Awww she’s so deep. Such an artist
Cristelas story is inspirational and up lifting. I love to see her shows, because she is so real. Great interview. Congratulations from Puerto Rico.
Cristela I just found you and I now love you. I appreciate where you came from because my mom and grandparents came straight from Mexico. I AM PROUD OF YOU. THANK YOU for being you girl!
I love her and I can relate with her and the homelessness, immigrant dad, living paycheck to paycheck. My dad being a single dad. I feel like I am the Latina woman I am today! ❤
I can relate to Cristela. This whole interview must have been deeply in emotional!!! She is brave and I love her for that!!!! She took her life, became brave and succeeded!!!!! Love you Cristela!!!
We should create a campaign to rerun the show on netflix..and now ask for a second season
Cristela was a great show. I enjoyed it watching every week. Cristela is down to earth as real as she is.
Her sitcom was awesome. It should have gotten picked up.
Love her stand up
I really liked the Cristela show. I am proud that this sister made it.
I absolutely adore Cristela. I think she is funny and so beautiful. I agree with her on The View.
I love her she is a great comic , her hometown San Juan is 15 minutes away from mine McAllen , I don’t know her personally but I feel so proud she made it big and we have talent to represent the RGV !
Cristela Thank you 🙏 for the show. I am so saddened when it ended. I had no idea the show existed until 2023. It was a beautifully written and produced show. Honestly I hope in the near future you can produce another beautifully crafted show. God Bless you now and always. I miss your show tremendously 😢
Very talented and smart.
Great interview, lots of laughs too! Cristela you are so funny. Thank you for being vulnerable with your audience. Love your wit and determination.
Frank,
Congratulations on your continued success! Great interview!
Love her..I relate to all the Mexican upbringing. ❤hope to see you at one of your shows.
I loved watching cristela, I’m not a traditional tv watcher I either watch days later online on my phone or computer and that’s what networks don’t understand also love the current version of the view yes it’s sometimes hard with the loud opinions but I think more diversity in that setting is needed especially progressive voices.
Omg u were in ft lauderdale. Love your vibe and comedy. Looking forward to seeing u one day after covid
Yes! Ditto! She dealt with homelessness and found a way to THRIVE with stand-up!!! 😀 I also want to try stand-up once covid finally ends!
I love her 😍 she is amazing. I wish there was another season of the show, or ten 😁
What an incredible interview/er, and guest! 🔥👏❤️
Agree with you regarding the View. It has changed and opinions are expressed so aggressively and without grace or respectful wisdom. Temperance goes a long way when delivering any message.
Cristela !!!! Where r u? Come back to sitcom ! Or another Netflix special !!!!!
Love her so much
LOVE YOU BEING AND REPRESENTING THE RGV
She's fantastic!! I was so bummed out when her show got cancelled... Forget that, I was PISSED!!!!
Amazing interview!
Esos son principios, this woman is not sell out like some other comedians
I love you Cristella!!!!🥰🥰🥰🧘🏽♀️🧘🏽♀️💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️ I wish you would come back!
Love me some Cristela!!! Thank you for wonderful comedy that is so relatable to me as a woman from Belice.
Loved cristela and couldnt understand why it never got another season. From Mauritius
Loved her sitcom! It was so funny!
Thank you for sharing your life experience. Eres un tesoro!
I love this show l, and I still watch it in Hulu n now on Tubi watch it over n over never get tired of it ❤😊
I loved her show!
Absolutely love her ! Fabulous human !
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN AND A SWEET SOUL🙏🙂
Cristela is awesome i absolutely like her shes funny i cried when they cancelled her show i thought that the show was a winner it hit close to home as to where i can relate shame on the networks cancelling her show i mean it was a home run show after show it was relatable it has a great cast it was funny it was on the money well i watch her stand up as well every time that she is on shes funny and we need more shows like this networks you suck netfix is taking over eventually netflix will give her her own show like they did with Gabriel fluffy Iglesias and that is also a great show
I love Cristela, she makes me laugh, but she also makes me cry
Enjoyed both people, nice people.
I'm part Spanish and I use to wear colored eye contacts, and a girl that became a good friend, I asked her why she didn't wear colored contacts, and she told me it was because she felt like she was fronting and she believed that you could always see the truth in people's eyes, so what did it say about her if her eye color were not real. She felt in taking them off, she was taking off a mask of some sort and she felt fake. She didn't like the feeling of not being real in every way. I thought she made a good point and I never wore mine again.
Love you, God bless you.
Cristela Alonzo's the voice of Cruz Ramirez in Cars 3!
Yes she is! Her voice for Cruz worked out so *perfect!*
#USETHAT
Awesome show, very funny
Ahhh cristela, my beauty, I love you, and I'm sorry that canceled your show...
Where can we see episodes of the show?
#CRISTELAALONZO. Love you girl. Your so real and true. You crack me up a lot. Sorry for your show cancelling, but I see your doing GREEEEAT on your own. Much L❤VE from Houston, Texas. Wish we could do a meet and greet some day. God BLESS. Sept. 2020. Stay SAFE.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
She’s so organic 🏆
I love Cristela so much! I remember watching the pilot episode for the show and saw the tiger blanket on the couch...the exact same one I have and I felt a deep connection to her and it's funny because after I show people her comedy special they say we are the same person...I support this woman so much and love her beyond words. I support her 1000 percent and I'm excited to see what else she will accomplish.
Loved the show "Cristela"!!! Poignant and we'll created. It hit the best and worst of real life and made many diverse ethnicties look inside themselves, take pause and take check of what brought their life to fruition; review from what their life in "the now" is so related to "the past"...take pride in how one managed to have success that was never benchmarked with financial wealth, but benchmarked with the wealth of being a human with dignity. Love you Cristela... always will.
Loved the show. Sad when it was cancelled.
ABC canceled her show, not because it was bad, but because they wanted her on something else. How bogus. Good on Cristela for becoming a success on her own merit.
Wow
I just found out about her watched her stand up .funny.
Now this interview
Man ,what a beautiful soul this person is.
Lovely and strong. We have a lot more in common...very true.
I work at McDevil’s and a LOT of my coworkers never learned English. I think they’re scared to assimilate more. I’m the ONLY non-Hispanic person in the store that uses Spanish (white guy!!) and that seems really weird 😂 I know some ppl will be mad at me for trying to interact with my coworkers without pushing them to use more English but we all have our fears to overcome (I’m a bit of a social recluse myself).
Love her!!!
Cristela, my beautiful friend, you've made me fall in love with you, ur laugh, ur comedy, ur sense of humor. And most of all, ur appearances on pictionary. You are my favorite star on there. ..
my condolences🕯️S//O to Mom's
luv and miss the show
Sitcom I can definitely relate to
Hope to see you again on T.V
maybe a Telenovela.. LoL
Come back to San Jose!!!! I missed your last show!!:(
You guys can keep her
Love you!
Wow ,I’m from Brownsville, live in Ohio you’re awesome
We loved Cristela's show and so sad when it was no longer on. We didn't know why but and still hope one day she will do it again.
We love cristela 💕
the music and his voice, reminds me of dateline.
Loved the Fridge la show so much, I bought the dvd set, wish they would've done another series.
I miss her show but they always cancel the shows that the real people love and replace it with Fantasy and scripted reality shows.
Keep them programmed not informed. They cannot have honest, thinking people
@@elsajones6325 what is cristela informing us about
@@madcomicdialogue I'm referring to the program. She wouldn't be allowed freedom to speak her mind
Why does every Mexican sitcom get cancelled to me that sound fishy it's like people don't want are people to come up not only that but also Tru sitcom you spread real knowledge when you keep it real and I think that what they don't want love and respect to this strong Mexican woman who represent with pride and dignity
HUGE crush on Her!
Wow
Stellaaaaaaa!
I knew I liked this girl, but knowing she turned on The View makes me kind of love her LOL
I wouldn’t want to read toxic reviews either!!! Cristela is AMAZING though!!!
WOW! Never heard of her but she’s a HUGE inspiration for homeless ppl and ppl worried about becoming homeless: esp. someone like me who wants to try stand-up comedy. She’s my age too 😵😀 welp: I already live in L.A. so I didn’t have to move to this city like she did. Now if only this pesky covid issue would end so the clubs could reopen one day 😆 😂
What you said about your mom makes me love you even more cristela my beauty....
I wish they would keep her show because they have so many horrible other show but hers was great and us latinos can relate to it...she is great..
What how . I live in the valley. There's nothing here 😞. The stories I've lived.
Well, she certainly looks different than who she was growing up, and though change is good, I hope she doesn't get away from who she is, to try to portray "Success" for herself. I hope she keeps some aspect of genuine authenticity to her appearance as well as a person.
I fucken miss her show. I liked it and watched it and laughed.
TBH I have a crush on her also🤭🤭🤭
