The band playing Britney Spears's "Sometimes" when Joel came out is a nice touch - the song plays a pretty big role in the film.
I noticed the song too.
Agree. And the version in the film is a fantastic cover of the song!
@@kmc7062 Absolutely! MUNA did the cover, and if you'd like to check it out, they just released their third studio album, which is fantastic!
Joel Kim Booster appeared on Conan a few years ago and his stand-up was hilarious. I'm happy great things are happening for him.
Thanks for the tip! He is new to me, but I just found that Conan clip on UA-cam-- non-stop laughs. He is a very funny guy
I just watched his first appearance 30 minutes ago, and it was excellent
Fire Island is a movie people will still be watching 40 years from now. I've seen multiple reviews call it an "instant classic" and I think that is accurate. The movie to compare it to is Clueless. It's hilarious, romantic... Seriously this movie is everything you would want from the premise. Everything in this movie just works and after watching this interview I understand way more about how that happened.
wow! I gotta say, none of the interviews or clips I've seen so far have convinced me as much as your comment! now I really am way more interested to see it
it's neither hilarious nor romantic. The film portrays the usual stereotyped queer people of the 70teens. Simply awful.
A forgettable so, so adaptation of Jane Austen's P&P only if one likes to see multi-ethnic men/gurls in speedos. A humorless, threadbare rehash of film stereotypes and meme tropes. The only notable character to look for is Legacies actor and busy rising star, Zane Phillips.
As a baby boomer lesbian, I spent many a summer in the 1980’s and early 90’s in the Pines and Cherry Grove. It was hard to watch how AIDS decimated an entire generation of Gay men, (and many of my dear and closet friends) and how the “our safe haven” was directly impacted on Fire Island. I’m so gratified to hear that some thirty years later, these two “ enclaves of fabulousness” are back and in full swing!!! Can’t wait to see this film! Happy Pride Y’all!!!! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
Happy Pride to you, too!
And now we have Monkey Pox will this be down played as well so as not to hurt peoples feelings!?
🏳️⚧️
I was lucky to spend time in P town, Cape cod,MA, in the 80s and 90s, always had a blast there, it was our own world (after 4pm lol) Happy pride all!
@@budwiser5798 The only people that downplayed AIDS/HIV are Reagan and the republicans. They also downplayed covid.
he is so adorable and nervous.. really happy for him. fire island was so funny!! he deserves all the success.
he s a solide 8!!!
He didn't seem nervous at all
@@chocomojo9552 rating people's attractiveness is basic and toxic.
@@jmahlon I was refering to one of Boosters sketch. He said, in New York he s a 6 but in Ohio ,he s a solide 9. Go watch it on youtube!
I couldn't agree more!! I hope he's able to take this and run with it. 🔥
Awwww you can see Colbert saying "That went well" or something of the like to Joel at the end.
My lip-ready sense thinks: "That was great, man!"
Joel's definitely got style.
Happy that a show like this is coming about. Even as a straight man Im watching this.
Representation, man!
You are 101% definitely NOT straight!!💩
Just now??
As far as we've come as an accepting society, it still warms my heart so much to know that there are allies out there!!
Love it
I loved Fire Island and I love him and Bowen! I put it on as background while I was working from home…and let’s just say that backfired on me. Lol at least work wise! I can’t wait to watch it on repeat!
This was a good interview, I'm glad he's doing so well.
Back in the 80s I was a DJ and Light-man at the Pavilion, the main club in the Pines. Fire Island is a magical place that's difficult to describe in words. 🏳🌈
I love how Stephen had a whole stack of cards but Joel killed it on the first one, so he ended it right there on a high note 😂
I think that Joels time was up and Stephen saw this joke as a good exit point. These games are often used as a time filler.
What an intelligent and articulate human.
he's smart and witty, funny, gorgeous and incredibly talented! Enjoyed the interview and the movie too!
It's exciting to see we've arrived at a place where we'd be spotlighting the ins and outs of Fire Island on national TV.
😂👌🏻
What a great audience.! I could feel their appreciation of Joel's talent and genuineness.
Wow! Is he a great guest, or what? Clearly he has something he wants to say to the rest of us and knows what it is. His stand-up experience has stood him in good stead. Oh, and he's gorgeous.
He seems so smart and funny definitely gonna watch fire Island asap
I love it when Stephen is 'loving' an interview!
Superstar! Can't wait to see where this project takes him. Thanks Steven for getting him the airtime he deserves.
Wow, loved his stand up and in this interview you can see he is a huge talent with massive potential. Can't wait to see his show
I see Joel Kim Booster doing a lot of great things and soon he will be super mainstream and I’m so here for it !!!!!
I already watched “Fire Island” like 2 times, it’s funny and sweet
I watched it too. Its like Epstein Island but for Cuomosexuals like Colbert
I absolutely LOVED the movie Fire Island. It's definitely in my top 5 all time movies I love. If you haven't seen it, go see it. Joel, what a refreshing gift you've brought to the screen...thank you! ❤
Do I have to watch _Pride and Prejudice_ in order to appreciate _Fire Island_ ?
@@RaymondHngnot necessarily, but it’s more fun if you have
I tried Fire Island the day it came out, because I love Bowen on SNL. I got hooked on all the story lines. Always wanted to see the real Fire Island. It's beautiful. Enjoy!
Love that they played ''Sometimes' for his intro song 😍
Conrad Ricamora! I remember when he was a barista at my local coffee shop twenty years ago. Big success to him always!
good for him! smart, driven and talented, keep going!
I could listen to this man talk all day. What a lovely interview
Charming lad! Glad he is finding his success
Phenomenal interview, and a great film too! I’m so glad that conversations about authentic AAPI and LGBT representation can take place on mainstream programming.
What a lovely guy Joel is. He certainly will make a mark in the show business industry. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
This is such an important interview. We stan an intersectionality warrior!
Am so excited to watch all this on....love it from Nepal 🇳🇵
He had me at Gay Pride & Prejudice. I've been meaning to watch it because of Bowen, but he is so freaking charming! Also, re: Fire Island, I had no idea about this lovely place. I've visited Provincetown, and loved it, so I'm sure that this post of the island is wonderful.
Awesome that he acknowledged Margaret Cho. Her live shows in Portland were legendary. I love her. He's very cute. I'm happy for him.
I'm so glad he's doing so well! I just love his humor.
Excellent interview!
The fact that Joel Kim Booster is a Jane Austen Stan makes me so happy!
I watched the movie before I saw this, it took me about 45 minutes into the movie before I realized, OMG, this is Queer Pride and Prejudice, it totally thrilled me. And seeing him mention his love of the BBC version and the 2005. How completely brilliant. Jane would have loved the 'Fire Island' homage.
As a straight person (Bowen Yang fan) I HOPE that the audience isn't restricted to the LGBTQ audience. It's really funny, charming and informative about the gay community (occasionally TMI!) Love is love -- Romance is romance. And good for Colbert for celebrating Pride in such a concrete fashion.
should do very well at your local art movie house. FIND it.
I love how Joel is talking about the significance of representation in media
sometimes, a guest's experience will remind me of a personal experience (though on a much smaller scale). In College, older than my fellow students by around a decade, having found my path later than expected, I directed a play for which I was also the lighting designer, and prop master. An excruciating, difficult, high pressure senior project that brought me extreme personal satisfaction when the product was fantastic and well received. It is maybe a micro version of Joel's experience as writer/producer/star of such a wonderful product. Memory of my joy makes me so happy for his!
Get it Joel! So good to see such an amazing fellow Big Blue alum on my favorite late night show! 🎉
I love his confidence! :)
They are the true Americans
I know nothing about this movie or actor but I love him 💗
Same experience over here! I knew if Bowen Yang was involved it would be good.
Jean Batiste's reaction to the translation--hilarious
This guy is awesomely funny!
Love him - great interview - thanks 🙏
this is perfect. i wish i have a friend like joel lol
Just watched this yesterday and it was near perfect. I absolutely loved it.
This movie made me cry. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
He is lovely, funny, smart! Great cast too!
So proud of him love that movie
Joel is HILARIOUS and I’m so glad he’s getting the success he so richly deserves
I just loved Bowen and Joel in the trailer of ‘Fire Island’! Absolutely fabulous 👏🏽
So happy for JKB! Loved watching fire island! Can’t wait to see him in more things!
What a very cool man....Love him.....smart, funny and completely engaging!!!! Right on!
Representation matters. Love wins.
Great movie loved it. Could of been a series. Hope there's more of this.
😄 These two have _such_ good chemistry, together. Am I the only one who thinks it would be a good idea, at some point, to maybe bring this guy back to co-host an edition of _First Drafts?_
💯
That was so great! He’s so funny!
Thanks for writing such a fantastic movie!!!!! Love you!!!!!!
Well done Joel
That last translation was so on point.
Exactly. This is why queer people need their spaces. I don't think non-queer people fully understand that even in places where queer people are more accepted, we always have our antennae on scan for what feels safe or not. This is why sometimes I go to gay weekend events where I know that everyone around me understands me and I can let my guard down and so can they. I also liked the movie Fire Island a lot. If you haven't seen it, give it 20 minutes because the setup to the movie isn't nearly as good as the rest of it.
Joel is so funny and I love him
Great interview!
He's delightful! Can't wait to watch Fire Island.
I love how Joel is both entertaining and informative
Brilliant!
I thought it's gonna be a politics-heavy overdone gay movie. It's not. It's a hearty rom com with some really vulnerable and laugh-out-loud scenes. Great casting! Great actors! Yang and Kim-Booster really shined!
Thank you
Give him longer interviews 😭😭😭
I had no idea this was based on Pride and Prejudice- as an Recovering Pride and Prejudice adaptation fanatic I need to watch this now!
Nice dude. All the best, man.
This was a good interview.
So happy for him!
This movie was delightful
I love Joel so happy to see him getting this publicity
What a beautiful human being ❤️
Love him!
Joel is an icon
Just watched the movie today It was epic and epically hilarious and heartwarming and I cried at least twice This man is as talented as he is stunningly beautiful ❤️
He is very well spoken !
he used to be a spelling bee nerd.
he lives Books and stuff..... I know, weird!!
🧑🍳Proud chef! Great interview Joel 💕💕
Sometimes it takes someone on the outside looking in to make the best observations of a society.
So excellent!!!! Joel did such an incredible job on the movie, it truly is a faithful adaptation. Class is such an important factor in both the book and the movie, but I also loved how he took the institution of marriage completely out of the plot and replaced it with something much more modern and queer: consensual non-monogamous sexual/romantic connections.
JOEL WALKING OUT AS THEY PLAY SOMETIMES!!!! OMG
I LOVEEEEEEE HIM
LOve his style
Loved the movie (on Hulu).
omggg the band even played Sometimes (The song Bowen sings in karaoke in Fire Island). LOVE the attention to detail
I didn't realize that he created this movie. How Wonderful!!
Its strange to think that this movie has only been out for a year. I feel like ive been watching it my whole life
I think the quote that Stephen recites is the opening quote of the movie. I could be wrong.
This movie was so unreal good I literally can't stop thinking about it
Fire Island is a wonderful place near the end of Long (125 miles approx.) Island. To get there, one must take a ferry, other boat, or a sea plane to get to this tip of the New York island. There are several different parts of the Island: There is a homosexual (gay) part, nudist part, heterosexual part, and family part (or parts). I had a half share in a house in Davis Park, a heterosexual part of the island, for one summer. Mostly, this island caters to different groups of people who rent a house for the summer (Memorial Day through Labor Day), and go there to have a fun day at the beach and each person renting a house creates a dinner for all the residents paying rent for the summer on a Saturday night, or may go out to eat at one of a few restaurants on different parts of the island, or one of the houses may have a party to which the renters on that particular part of the island may attend, or have a night together to play cards or other types of games. It’s a fun place for people with different outlooks get together on their part of the island to relax from the work grind of the week. Most people drive to the ferry and park their cars, take the boat ride on Friday night and return to drive home on Sunday night. The biggest drawback is driving on the Long Island Expressway with heavy traffic on the weekends in summer. If one can afford it, the best way to go is by seaplane, which lets you off in the water and walk a few feet to the sandy shore and walk to your house from there.
I need to go to Fire Island
It was a great rom com.
He's so talented
