Cinemark owes this man for the extra publicity. Things like this make people actually want to go back to the theaters. It's what the experience is all about.
They pay him his wage. In their opinion that's enough.
There's other theaters he could work at.

You're right lol and I want him there 🤣
I live in corpus and frequently visit this theater. I always got pumped when Jason was working cause he always made it fun to order popcorn. Glad to see him get the attention he deserves. This man loves his job and has a1 customer service
Yeah!!! I'm always so happy when he makes my popcorn! He's such a chill and cool dude!
Same. First thing we look for when we go. My buddy started a gofundme to get him a little extra cash if you have anything to spare!
I also live in corpus. The guy is a down to earth dude
I lived in Corpus for 5 years and always went to that Cinemark over the Greenwood one and I always went to this guy's side when I saw he was working!
San Antonio TX here! Love Corpus Christi!
You're a real one, Jimmy Kimmel, recognizing a seemingly genuine guy and giving him a great opportunity.
Are you sure he's a real one? How would you know? Just by seeing him on a t.v.?
Go Popcorn Man!!! I want to see you at the Oscars make popcorn for Jimmy and Tom!

My faith in humanity has been restored. Good job Jimmy :)
He seems like such a cool guy. Giving people some fun which is much needed these days. ❤
I'd rather have money these days. Money is much more needed these days.

@@alm9951Absolutely not. When you're doing what you love it will never feel like work!
He seems like such a sweet dude. Very stoked for him!🎉
We love this guy! He’s been putting on a show for us when we order our popcorn for years! So awesome he’s getting recognition :)

I’m from Corpus Christi and it warms my heart to see this guy so happy so wholesome representing the 361 so well
There's nothing wrong with being good at one thing. You go popcorn man. 🍿
Is there anything wrong with being good at two things? Or good at no things? Anything wrong with that?

@@jdole9038 hey maybe Jimmy will see you discourage wage and invite you to donate some money to popcorn man....because you're just being mean.
@@alm9951 nope
I recently went to watch avatar and order popcorn with extra butter. The guy filled the popcorn bucket all the way and just drizzle the top portion with butter.😢 So yes, serving popcorn is a skill, and my local theater “popcorn guy” lacks it. Every movie theater needs a Jason!
Honestly - melt my heart. Popcorn dude you are the cutest. Enjoy the Oscars man! 🎉
Honestly - the only thing melted is fake butter.
So totally cool that Jimmy's gonna bring the popcorn guy out to LA to do his thing at the Oscars. 2 thumbs up for Jiminy Kimble !
Jimmy ‘Kimble’ 😆
🎉
He's a king at what he does. Bloody legend! Keep going my dude
Talk about positivity..that guy has it ten fold
A huge thumbs up to both Jason and Jimmy.
That telegram thing is definitely a scam. That phone number has an Indiana area code. The Jimmy Kimmel definitely isn’t filmed in Indiana
This segment made me smile!
Love that you do such cool things for people like the popcorn guy
I hate when I get to the middle of my popcorn & the buttery goodness is all gone. I wish every theater did it like this guy! Job well done 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
The bored of directors gets mad because too much butter is used and they say it cuts their bottom line and profits. I mean board.
@@alm9951 In my theater the butter machine is outside at the toppings bar, you are free to use all you want, but its not the US, so you dont really see people using it frequently.
Great interview! He didn’t mess up one teeny tiny thing, nothing awkward, all cool!
Ah! A scrutinizer, are we?
that dude rules!!
He seems like such a good person, happy for him and how he's getting recognition after having been in it for 10 years what a great story
JimBble KimBille, you guys are good ppl!! just saw popcorn man earlier today and I almost cried, wish I was half as motivated and passionate with my work.
What a sweetheart!!!
What a feel good segment. This sweet kid, (I'm old) so he's a kid to me, looks like he is having so much fun. People like him, who have such a love for something and is giving that theater more than just popcorn should be paid enough to support himself. You want employees just like him. STAY SMILING Jason!!
Love this!! Can't wait to see Jason showing off his skills at the Oscars!! He is the type of Texan that makes me proud to be a Texan!!
He’s amazing!
Finally Corpus is finally getting recognized 🙌
Amazing job Popcorn guy
*positive recognition
😂That’s the theatre in my city. Im gonna go see Avatar and see him!
What a great exemplar - showing that if you love your job, even the most menial task, attacked with style, grace and humor, can be life-affirming and fun. _Any_ employer should be proud to add this man to their organization.
A knights exemplar? I mean templar.
If only more people would do a good job like him and have a positive attitude along with being humble it would be a much better world. 🌎 💯 😌
you ever work concessions before? fock that
I agree, I wish to have a job that I love like that.
Yeah,I want to make minimum wage,
@@brando7266 if i loved my job i would be fine making minimum wage
@@leafpool2014_gaming but it's hard to live on minimum wage,
I am honored to live in the same city as Popcorn Guy 😂
Same
Same here
@@josephtafur Corpus gang 😎
Yes
this is the theatre i wish i could go to. People who enjoy their jobs and have fun
He needs a raise.
He seems like such a great guy.
That actually made my night. 🍿😋
The OSCARS! That lucky guy is about to get swept into the who's who of Hollywood, mingling with the best, in this amazing out of nowhere opportunity. what an awesome thing. What an awesome thing to do..and what a lifelong memory that will be for him. Hell yeah!
Thank you for supporting our awesome local! The people of corpus send our love! ❤️❤️
Hell yeah Jason's going to the Oscars to meet Tom Cruise and to flip popcorn for him he could be the next popcorn impossible way to go dude 😎
That’s awesome to have a sweet local celebrity be recognized! Thanks Jimmy for making that happen 😊
I want my popcorn made this way next time I go to corpus!
So many miserable people out there with careers they despise. It's refreshing to see a young man doing something he enjoys and taking pride in it. His employer is lucky.
Hard work pays off! This guy deserved it 100%! Jimmy, please hire this man !
Jason, you're awesome. Keep doing your job with excellence!
I need to see him at the Oscars! 🎉
Literally the best!
I live in Corpus, but don’t really frequent the movie theatre that often so don’t remember him. But I’ll have to look out for him next time I go!
That kid is something else, Tom Cruise should taste his popcorn..
The best part is the butter will be distributed all over evenly.
My city getting some love that’s awesome. Super happy for the popcorn guy. 💯🤘🏻
That popcorn looks delicious
Maybe Cinemark could turn this viral video into a mascot for their company! Jason the Popcorn Guy!
woo woo, props for the "Popcorn Guy"...my hometown, CC, TX, representin'!!!
Would love to see him at the oscars!
Screw the movies, I want to buy a ticket to see Jason’s popcorn show.
Jason makes it worth paying for popcorn 🍿 at the movies!
So happy this genuine human being is being given recognition. Something tells me his politeness and warm heart have always been with him and he's finally getting something very special. Way to go, Popcorn guy!
That dude is a f**king Jedi!!! Love seeing people good at their jobs & having fun. Glad to see good things happening for cool people.
Now I'm definitely watching the Oscars!!!
I love seeing him at the theatre!! He’s the best!🎉🍿🍿🍿
I do like popcorn buttered through and through. This guy knows his stuff.
Popcorn guy you rock.
Never heard of popcorn guy, but thanks for the intro
I hope he has the time of his life at the Oscars!! You go popcorn guy!!🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿
I bet this guy is a really really nice dude. Taking pride in whatever job you have is a virtue for sure.

Love your work Jimmy!
Popcorn King made it to HOLLYWOOD
Lets go!! Congrats brother!!! 🎉
That's awesome that jimmy invited him 👍👍👍
I first noticed popcorn guy do his thing months ago. I thought to myself that would be cool to do. Glad he's getting the recognition.
Even after working multiple jobs at Fortune 100 companies after college that Cinemark job I first held in high school and college was still my favorite and most fun. Keep it up man 🍿
Pop Corn Guys gets it.
It refreshing to see nice stuff, ya know :)
I’m in corpus and it’s crazy to see this guy getting attention
Awesome job
The one follow up video im really looking forward to! Cant wait to see him slinging popcorn for all the A list celebs. LFG POPCORN GUY
What a likable kid!
Saw him yesterday, he’s such a humble guy he was talking among his coworkers that he loved his job because he gets to put a smile on people’s faces and that’s what makes his day. He served us our popcorn and it was great very well buttered.
Popcorn guy and the corn kid should meet up!
I appreciate Jason Grosboll 😂
ppl should give him a tip even if its a dollar, ppl are gunna wanna see him more then the movie lol
OMG! I love all of this so much! Good deal Jimmy Kimmel! 👏👏💜
Jimmy Kimmel is awesome man!!
I love this for him
That is awesome!!! Such a good humble dude too! Loves his job and has fun what a great message!
Now I want some popcorn
If the theatre has a very large increase in profits now because of this kid. He better get a dang good raise.
As a fellow person from the sparkling City by the sea I commend you for your fabulous little popcorn fun. Next time I go to that theater I'm going to look for you!
Wholesome af!
This is the sparkling City by the Bay, so shine like the star that you are," The Popcorn guy ".
Thank for bringing us the positivity of this guy. Made my day better 🙂
Way to go Jason! Glad ur having fun & getting the publicity that u deserve. I'm glad the customers are kind & are cheering him on.
Please consider hiring Jason and adding him to your show.
All of your fans love him, he’s so talented, funny and humble and I’m sure we’d all love to see him regularly.
Adding Jason to the show would be life-changing for him and I can’t think of anyone who’d deserve it more plus I think he’d fit in grew with the show.
Agreed! How about it, Jimmy!?!
I’ve been going to that theater for years, too. I’m one of the “few” people who don’t get the Theater “butter” on their popcorn. I had to stop Jason a couple times from automatically going for the butter. 😂 He would often ask what movie you were going to see and make short conversation while getting your popcorn. Really sweet guy.
Jimmy Kimmel is a guy you can go to just for laughs 😃 love it ..
The best part of this...the guy loves his job and is soooo appreciative. I bet he enjoys being there and serving people. The kids must love him. Mr. Kimmel, you just made my evening. I was having a crappy day and scrolled to your UA-cam channel and there it was. Def. going to catch the Academy just to see the popcorn guy. Awesome.
Im gonna drive from the rgv just to get popcorn from him!
A perfect example of loving one's job. Whatever you do, love your job, people.
Truly the most pure thing ever Jimbo love u
It's always cool to see someone go above and beyond. Yeah he could just scoop popcorn into each bucket but he makes it experiential. Good for him!
I live in Corpus Christi and I'm so glad that he got recognized for his talent.
Thats awesome !
OMG HE NEEDS TO MEET CORN BOY!!
Yes!
This kid has got talent
So kind of Jimmy.
